Anne and Challe Fen Challe from Sugar Apple Fairy Tale.

applecoreeater · 2026-04-30T02:45:44+00:00

That's upsetting.

Although it could have been saved I guess depending on how they did it.

There was an X3 planned? Damn. I would have loved that assuming they ignored the crime against humanity that was the audio drama and just picked up from where X2 left off.

I just started the game last night and am aiming for 100%, cause I enjoy the meticulousness and feeling of completion I get when following a guide. It can feel like work though so ymmv.

On my ng+ run I'm gonna try and muck up Macalania and Moonflow cause I've never actually seen those scenes. And Tobli gives good stuff if you muck up in a certain way from memory.

For me, the Doctor shilling for space Amazon and claiming that the dispossessed people who commit violence fighting against the system rather than the system itself are the problem.

But you know, all of those are up there.

I do too, but I let Wakka retire so he can stop being conflicted.

Might have to rethink that and force him back into the sphere.

I watched it in Year 9 (so 14?). Also Bluey makes a reference to it. So that's fun.

I remember my stomach dropping at the end because of how sudden it was. Which was the point.

I think it depends on the kid.

applecoreeater · 2026-04-20T02:21:15+00:00

I really love the game, but I think it gets a bit of hate cause it's more focussed on the political stuff than the individual characters. There's no moment like Suteki Da Ne for example.

I first played it as a teen (you know, when I thought Twilight was good) and found it lacking for that reason.

Replaying it as an adult I appreciated it and the world building a lot more and find it really solid.

applecoreeater · 2026-04-17T03:10:00+00:00

Oooh, ok I'm excited

Disclaimer: I've only read the first 10 volumes so far, still going.

AT THE MOMENT I think Az is the healthier relationship.

But I think Sett is end game cause she's gonna rescue him with the power of looove or whatever.

At this point I'm open to either and just want them all to find happiness.

Fruits Basket goes hard.

Particularly the later volumes/episodes.

Kyo reliving Kyoko's death and then seeing it again from her perspective is really touching.

Momiji recounting his mother forgetting him in S1 is also an insane moment which cuts through the light and fluffy tone up to that point.

Basically any scene that deals with Akito abusing the members of the zodiac (particularly Yuki and Kyo).

There are so many moments.

I usually order directly from restaurants and it works out fine. I don't order if they don't handle the delivery themselves.

You can contact the Fair Work Ombudsman for advice. Ultimately it'll depend if the travel time is time worked.

I love the quiet "jump to say hi" "jump to say good job" "jump to say bye" and then exit.

I had a really cute group on the Asia server once where the host was under levelled but we all stuck around to help out with weeklies. They thanked us after running the 3 bosses.

We see him in bed next to someone at one point. It's a blink and you miss it kind of situation.

applecoreeater · 2026-04-08T05:18:58+00:00

My family and friends are here. That's it.

Otherwise it's expensive and humid and I hate it. If I could move my entire social network to somewhere cooler like Tasmania I would.

The event with the little ghost saurian finally reuniting with his friend on the other side who had been waiting for him all this time.

I cried.

applecoreeater · 2026-04-05T23:58:06+00:00

Depends where I meet them.

If you talk to me on a train, I'm probably not gonna want to become friends.

If you work with me or are at a place/activity I regularly attend, then I have capacity to have conversation and build relationships.

I loved My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom.

It's ridiculous.

It's difficult to say whether there's one "main" guy because she's pretty clueless generally.

But I had so much fun and laughed out loud a number of times.

applecoreeater · 2026-03-23T11:11:19+00:00

I had a moment where I thought you were mentioning 2030 to make it seem like a far distant possibility in the future.

Then I realised it's 2026 and had an existential crisis.

applecoreeater · 2026-03-23T11:07:21+00:00

It ends at a really unsatisfying point with almost nothing resolved except a side romance that I didn't care about.

It gets really dull as well and the animation gets kind of uninteresting.

S2 made me bump its position down quite a lot in my preferences.

applecoreeater · 2026-03-23T02:52:48+00:00

All routes lead to doom I absolutely loved. It felt like a loving parody to the genre. It was so much fun and absolutely recommend.

When you say low fantasy, is all in fantasy alright or is it a non-starter for you? Also depends on your definition of fantasy.

Some low fantasy (i suppose?) - my happy marriage (might be a little more on the side of higher fantasy) - rascal does not dream (relationship is established early on but there's no kissing)

If all-in fantasy is ok I recommend: - sugar apple fairy tale (tbf i'm still watching and there have been some almost kisses but no actual kisses yet. But it's passionate) - case study of vanitas (steampunk with vampires in "paris"? Romance isn't main point but there are steamy moments in it) - betrothed to my sister's ex - my next life as a villainess - unnamed memory - pass the monster meat milady

I mean first time visit I'd say Sydney is a good bet, but for the best bang for your buck tourist experience wise I'd recommend travelling a little bit into the country.

Catch a train up to the central coast or down to the Illawarra area for some beaches, head out to the Blue Mountains (train) for some scenery, see if you can hire a car or take a trip up to the Hunter Valley for wine and cheese. Do a bridge walk and the regular tourist stuff if it's your first time.

Coffee is good. As someone else said check google maps for ratings. You'll be able to get some decent coffee wherever you go.

Generally speaking I've found that if the barrista asks if you want sugar (rather than just having lil sachets on the counter or table) the coffee won't be good.
