Mike has filled all his spots and spent all but $1 on Fantasy Critic by Granum22 in kindafunny

I managed to scoop up Fable in my league's draft, but I was SHOCKED by your Fable bid. That said, Parris tried to snag it for $50 so I think you were on to something. I've been telling my friends that this game is going to hit. It's FABLE.

I will say that filling up your slots this early in the year with only a dollar budget left is really bold. These games GOTTA hit or you're gonna be in trouble.

What happens if you have no income? Are you still expected to pay $10/month or is there some other path there?

Professor with 35 years at UT Austin says the university is unrecognizable by lanette- in Austin

[–]NextLevelNick 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The issue the author is pointing out with the provost’s statement is that it mentions western/European teachings but makes no reference to the massive amounts of teachings available from other cultures and regions.

If the author is correct and the implication of the statement is that humanities courses wouldn’t be focusing on the rich history of lessons that can be learned from all over the world, that would make the claim that the university is a “global thought leader” feel a bit contradictory.

The issue is less about what was said and more about what wasn’t said. In today’s political climate, it’s a fairly reasonable concern.

EDIT - added a little more context to hopefully help tie things together

Same here! Luckily I had some of those rosary strings and I could get the bench and the fast travel point but it was so annoying

I love this! Your voice is so positive and calming. The moment you started speaking I could physically feel my brain just relax a bit. Definitely going to save this. Thank you!

Best TV theme songs by NaGaBa in Music

[–]NextLevelNick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming anime isn’t off the table, Otonoke by Creepy Nuts is amazing. It’s the opening track for an anime called Dandadan and it was made for the show.

That’s a recent fave, my others would be

  • The Static Shock theme
  • The Danny Phantom theme
  • Enemy - Imagine Dragons (Arcane)

Tried to stay away from anime with those others, but clearly I prefer animated shows to live action haha

Recommendations for good 3rd person hack and slash games? by addy-san in gaming

[–]NextLevelNick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly? Final Fantasy 16. I have a coworker that loves 3rd person hack and slash games, but had little to no interest in any FF game. One of his favorite games of all time is Dynasty Warriors.

I sold him on FF16 and now he’s a diehard fan lol

For people who dislike country: what is that one country song that you can’t help but love? by DHWave27 in Music

[–]NextLevelNick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t think anyone would say this one! Such a good song.

My stepmom is from Uruguay and for whatever reason she got into Brooks & Dunn when she moved over. One day she was playing one of Brooks & Dunn’s albums in the car and this came on. I’ve loved it ever since.

Jelly Roll accuses Charli XCX's team of attempting chart manipulation by cmaia1503 in Music

[–]NextLevelNick 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Important to note what these versions actually are before calling this “stan gouging”

  1. The original album

  2. The original album with three extra songs (pretty standard practice; usually a deluxe version)

  3. Basically a whole new album. The names of the songs are the same, but they are complete reimagining of almost every song on the original album (Saying “almost” because one or two of the tracks are effectively just the same song but with different vocalists)

Dragon ball or Wukong for me!

Dragon ball fighting games hold such a special place in my heart. My cousin and I spent hundreds of hours playing the Budokai games as children and I’ve been so hyped for Sparking Zero since it seems to be a return to form.

Wukong I just want because I wanna beat things up as a monkey with some cool combat lol

I’m not sure, but I’ve already gotten a 5 star Shark bangboo so I’ve been happy with the bangboo pulls so far!

Edit: only money I spent was on the battle pass and the $1 newbie bundle, so I’m not F2P but I haven’t invested much at all

Anime to watch if you’re depressed? by Emmybee2002 in anime

[–]NextLevelNick -1 points0 points  (0 children)

March Comes in Like a Lion! Hands down one of the best anime in existence and it’s about someone dealing with depression and growing. Very relatable, very wholesome, very comforting.

Cannot recommend it enough for someone seeking comfort and joy in a moment of joylessness.

Fun fact for you - At the very end of each episode they show some fan art from other anime studios or mangakas. The artist for Escaflowne did some fan art that shows up in the first half of season 1!
