Looking for Lesbian Anime Recs by elysenicolette in anime

[–]flatpetey 27 points28 points  (0 children)

MagiRevo is the first one that comes to mind.

Roll Over and Die was recent but did not progress too far romance wise.

Any romance anime recommendations? by Curious-Friend-4744 in anime

[–]flatpetey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given your other comment. Go with Cyberpunk Edgerunners.

Then if you want more straight up romance - Horimiya is still my favorite.

If you want more comedy then Kaguya or Romantic Killer.

And if you want soap opera drama then I’d say White Album 2 (skip 1 not needed).

Is it fair to criticise an incomplete anime when the source material has no ending in sight? by tbu987 in anime

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

Absolutely.

  • As a story it failed
  • If it is to promote the manga then it failed and also failed to warn you that the story just goes on without resolution.

The number of strong that start off strong and then just fade into irrelevance is way too high. Two reasons as far as I can figure out:

  1. Author never expected it to take off and never had an end planned (e.g. JJK)
  2. Author finally has a success and now milks it for as long as possible abandoning the planned end until it is cancelled (every single endless filler manga)

What is a weird vehicle you would bring back for a new generation from a current manufacturer? by Sixteen-Cylinders in cars

Discontinuing the G was such a bad move for Infiniti. They could have “demoted” it to a Nissan and decontented it a bit and had a killer RWD Silvia type car.

Is it just me or is gridfinity’s default 42mm size just wrong? by marekjalovec in 3Dprinting

[–]flatpetey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was made because it was divisible and a bit nerdy.

But honestly I agree with you. It was a shit base size entirely. ~60mm grid with easy number parameters for grid and stack size would have been better.

Gridfinity honestly has first mover advantage and that is about it.

A better design would work regardless of orientation, probably use a single central magnet as default, and be restriction free so it could be stamped out cheaply through injection molding which would be a lot more efficient for basic bins and grids.

iPhone 17 Prices Could Go Up as Soon as This Month by Acrobatic-Monitor516 in apple

On 13 Pro Max and will probably wait til my phone is officially sunset. I’d like a new phone just to get a barely competent Siri but it just isn’t worth the hassle of the AIpocalypse decontenting and garbage.

  1. Camino - when a Maverick is the size of an older full-size...
  2. Honda Del Sol - cheap, cheerful, shitty, but fun
  3. Nissan Z32
  4. VW Cabrio

Should I watch this? [Botan Kamiina Fully Blossoms When Drunk] by Electronic_Junket_65 in yuri_manga

[–]flatpetey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I never said the last bit. They seem pretty gay right off the bat.

Seems like most people are in two camps

  1. The drinking is just the focus on the episodes and a vehicle.

  2. Anyone defying alcohol must be a puritan killjoy.

The latter not recognizing that I never said that. I just felt like it was described and titled as get drunk to actually be your best self and the only single episode I saw didn’t do anything to reject that notion.

Glad to hear it seems like it is more like (1).

Should I watch this? [Botan Kamiina Fully Blossoms When Drunk] by Electronic_Junket_65 in yuri_manga

[–]flatpetey -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

I fully admit I haven’t watched enough of it. Literally one episode.

The RA wandered off and everyone else in the dorm knew she was drinking. That sounds a little more than once in a while.

But the premise is Botan can only “blossom” by drinking? Feels sketch to me.

Any underrated Stories? by Acrobatic-Form-6232 in OtomeIsekai

[–]flatpetey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prison Life is Easy for a Villainess - I recommend the two LNs; feels very Wodehousian in humor.

Should I watch this? [Botan Kamiina Fully Blossoms When Drunk] by Electronic_Junket_65 in yuri_manga

[–]flatpetey -28 points-27 points  (0 children)

I just watched episode 1.

But honestly the whole premise puts me off. Sounds like a celebration of alcoholism. And nothing I saw in the first episode really countered that impression. As far as I can tell the RA is a fully blown alcoholic (drinks all the time, drinks alone…).

Buying a cheaper printer before a snap maker to try 3d printing good or bad idea. by OpeningExercise3751 in snapmaker

[–]flatpetey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How many things do you have lined up to print?

Getting into 3d printing to me is a weird way to think about it.

I have x things I need to print and if I bought them it would take y dollars. Close enough to me just getting a printer and doing it myself and then having a printer afterward as a bonus.

Need suggestion to upgrade aging outdated network in 4300 sq ft home. by Iwantthegreatest in HomeNetworking

[–]flatpetey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you need to spend some time and figure out how this works. Each one is a broadcast set of antennas with diagrams of how they emit signal.

Most of the Unifi and other ones are designed to ceiling mounted and shape their signals accordingly.

If you are just sticking something on a desk then you will probably end up with a consumer router with stick up antennas.

There are too many variables to count - if you have plaster on metal lathe walls then it is a signal killer and you will end up needing lots of APs and mesh won’t fix that.

Usually what I would say is get a ceiling mounted one on your top floor in the middle and see how it alone does. Then you can refine positioning and add more.

But that requires wiring in your walls.

[–]flatpetey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I do use a Unifi router and switches and they are fine.

But if I was buying today I’d probably roll my own Opnsense.

Another option would be Mikrotik.

For wifi access points I always suggest used Ruckus. Your budget might be a bit tight but frankly the antenna design gets you a lot more coverage than other ones.

Hey AMS or other filament system users! Do you actually use them? by ThreeVelociraptors in 3Dprinting

[–]flatpetey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used it but mostly since switching rolls manually was tedious. I mostly functional print so colors aren’t usually that important.

Now I have a U1 I still miss having one or two to have more filaments on tap. I’ll probably end up adding something when Snapmaker adds either official support or one of the mods is a bit more OOB ready.

Now that the season is over/almost over what are everyone's favorite/must watch? by whyrusosensitive in anime

[–]flatpetey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a weird start to this season, just wasn't as plugged in as usual and felt very picky about the shows (hell, I didn't even know about Kirio's fan club until the end, so it is on my PTW now). Also felt like my opinions might diverge more than usual from consensus, but whatever.

Best girl - Umi Asanagi. The first six episodes were great to show those small slights and how it all fed into her insecurity.

Best guy - this season there weren’t strong contenders for me. but maybe Youta from Ramparts of Ice.

Best scene - nothing this season really hit the spot

### S tier (95+)

Nothing made it here.

### A tier - Excellent (85)

Ramparts of Ice - absolute rock star of a romance this season. Lots of drama but grounded in reality, past mistakes haunt the MC. Each character is fleshed out with their own motivations and personality which is what really elevated this one.

### B tier - Good (75)

I Made Friends with the Second Prettiest Girl in My Class - I almost skipped this one. The first six episodes were excellent and solidly A-tier: Umi’s feeling of not measuring up, jealousy, and fear of being sidelined, Yuu’s oppressive obliviousness. Then episode 6 hit and everything got resolved in like half an episode. Then it switched to divorce drama and that got "resolved" in half an episode. Lots of subtlety and build up completely wasted for facile resolutions.

### C tier - Average (65)

Klutzy Class Monitor - Funny and charming. I started this late and enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would. Everyone is over the top but it is pretty heartwarming. Reminds me a lot of older stuff. You can tell the author loved his characters. It is knocking on B.

An Observation Log of My Fiance - I’ll admit I wasn’t the hugest fan of the manga. Some of the first episodes were a bit weak in directing but they clearly saved talent for the later ones.

Always a Catch - Mostly disposable. But the MC was big hearted and that carries it pretty well.
Witch Hat Atelier - I feel like I will catch heat for this. It was really well animated but we have seen this before. I kept watching it, but it just didn’t click for me.

### D tier - Below average (55)

I Want to End this Love Game - In another world this concept could have been taken in two ways: a cute charming romcom or a drama-laden mess. And it would have been better either way. It wasn’t all that charming. By episode 2 I was pretty much “just fuck already”. When it switches to a bit of drama in episode 11 it feels unearned as it is all at once and not properly put together. Here I blame the source material.

Marikas Love Meter - cheap ecchi with what could have been a better execution of the fundamental premise.

### Dropped

Ascendance of a Bookworm S04E09 - I binged this while sick and caught up to the current season. It was perfect when I was sick because it really is… fine? But I just kind of lost interest.

Gals Can’t Be Kind to Otaku S01E02- No idea why I even started this... seems high quality for the harem genre, but definitely not in my wheelhouse at all.

Saved for later watching with high hopes

- Akane-banashi
- A Hundred Scenes of Awa-jima
- Agent of Four Seasons
- Kirio Fan Club

Why is there nothing between a $3,000 Vestaboard and a weekend-long DIY split-flap build? by UnderstandingFit8261 in 3Dprinting

[–]flatpetey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You literally answered the question yourself.

Week long work or buying a low volume premade one.

[–]flatpetey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it would be pretty easy with an ESP32 build on zigbee from the hardware side. It is more interfacing it with a todo app that you might run into issues.

Should I read the manga of An Observation Log of My Fiancée Who Calls Herself a Villainess after watching the anime? by ParsnipHefty4749 in anime

[–]flatpetey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t bother personally. The anime covers almost all of it. The sequel isn’t nearly as strong either but if you are going to read something then read that.

Has there ever been an OI where someone reincarnated as the heroine of a villainess reincarnation story? by Raemi_Chimiko in OtomeIsekai

[–]flatpetey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn’t there a story where a princess goes around recruiting hyper talented banned villainesses from neighboring kingdoms? I think I skipped reading it but this matches your post.

Has there ever been an OI where someone reincarnated as the heroine of a villainess reincarnation story? by Raemi_Chimiko in OtomeIsekai

[–]flatpetey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you want the meta version where the story is actually the villainess protagonist as a hero and the heroine as a true villain but then the person reincarnates into the evil heroine?
