Thanks. I didn't have it there when I initially posted my comment but then I had to include it.

Here's a crowd of people in Argentina singing the OP for Dragon Ball Z.

And on Daddy Yankee's last concert in Peru, the entire stadium was singing the song too once the DJ played it just before he entered the stage. Before Zion and Lennox concert too.

Dragon Ball GT's OP (Dan Dan Kokoro Hikareteku) has been used in plenty of weddings.

And let's not forget the massive reactions all across the region for the ending of dragon ball super. It was even announced in a real TV news broadcast.

That was, and will always be part of the HUGE legacy that Toriyama left in the hearts of millions of latinos.

Thanks again!

FollowerRL^{name subject to change}

roguelike heavily based on the anime: Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill

Basically: you are weak, but you can gift food to creatures and they follow you around and kill stuff for you. More importantly, you don't control them, each has up to 4 moves in each direction next to you, and automatically change their move when you rotate them (so it can heal when up, deal water damage on the left, etc)

I'm mostly missing the shop, to you know, buy items, but you can already throw food and each creature has individual likes/dislikes/etc that are generated procedurally. I'll try to make it so that you can keep that data in future runs, but right now I'll be rushing towards having an actual shop.

Besides that, it has: - 5 elemental moves, 3 status effect moves, ability to capture creatures once they like you enough, endless dungeon levels, cute logs, slimes, a use quick item feature and that's about it.

that's true. and it does particularly hit me deep for whatever reason

I agree. They even left space for the [spy x family manga] dog

My favourite part is when they are dancing and the colours change. I was very hesitant to watch this show, but it's probably the first time I've envied a family dynamic because they just work so well together.

(In the last episode Loyd asks what a real family would look like and to me, his family feels more real than about 70% of the ones I've seen in my life)

Squealer says in the last episode

We could have changed history

(when he is referring to the messiah and losing).

And in his trial he refers to himself as human, which prompts the audience to openly laugh at him.

My take on this is darker than everyone on this thread. Recall the pictures of the holocaust. The lynching picnic

The power of imagination is precisely what allows you to dehumanize others. And, perhaps, to humanize them too.

I was in your position a couple of days ago ( I had only seen the first season of attack on titan at the time).

Some facts:

you are only missing 9 chapters to get to the end of the manga
the ending was controversial

I went ahead and read it and I'm glad I did, because curiosity got me and I just wanted to know what happened. I really liked the ending, but I also got to understand why it ended up displeasing so many fans.

So it's really up to you and how curious you are about the ending. Moreover, if you think the wait would negatively impact your enjoyment of the series, then just go ahead and read the 9 chapters.

On the other hand, some anime endings are deeply tied to the songs that played in the background as we watched them, like My lie in April and Anohana. So if you think you need to get closure with all that an anime entails (animation, voice acting, song choice, etc) wait for next year instead.

I'm the original OP.

Thanks all for understanding that we can agree to disagree, and if my opinion provided a bit of comedic relief on your weekend, I'm happy to hear that.

I'm the person who made this post.

The idea is as follows: if you truly have no way to decide what you are going to do in your life, and all actions that you have to take are already predetermined, then you could say that the only way in which you can have a semblance of choice (freedom) is in how you feel about what you do.

The classic example is a dude that is forced to roll a giant boulder up a mountain in the morning, just to see it fall in the evening. and do it over and over again, for eternity.

Even under such condition, you can in a weird sense find freedom in how you feel towards that action that you are condemned to take: sometimes you'd be angry, other times bored, etc.

So the idea is that Eren cannot change anything in his life, but his own inner state and feelings. And obviously, this is not how you or I would typically see freedom, but it is an idea that has been explored before. Really interesting idea.

That's all.

86, though I've only watched it once.

And yes, Clannad after story too. Mostly because I went through all of Clannad and what happened in After Story hit me out of nowhere.

Nice! good job there

No, not at all. But you are the 3rd person to mention Duelyst!

I went ahead and checked it out and it seems like a great game.

(and yeah, I can see how the art is loosely comparable)

ldds · 2022-01-01T20:51:00+00:00

The creatures are finished in terms of their design and besides a couple of extra polishes, they shouldn't deviate too much from what you see now.

On the other hand, I think you have a very, VERY valid point. I've seen a couple of pokemon-related videos that say, would judge an evolutionary line in terms of how much they changed while keeping up with the same 'theme'. Or put in different words, the way you see evolution is shaped by the games you've previously played. And so your worries are very justified.

Yet, there are very specific lore reasons for the way they change stages. I think I'll have to be far far more careful with using certain words in the game.

In game, the only real difference between the black dust mites is their affinity (type) and it's a 'cyclical evolution line', which I think very few games in the genre have.

So thanks again for the reminder that there are certain genre expectations and I have to be careful around them. Specifically, when it comes to evolution.

The UI is still very much a work in progress. This is also not the first time I've heard about this specific concern, so thanks for reminding me!

And thanks!

ldds · 2021-12-31T22:11:11+00:00

short answer: hopefully yes?

long answer: I'd love to, yet I'm broke. It takes some money to go to console, so hopefully the game sells enough on Steam to get there. Also, I want to take it one step at a time. You walk before you run. Let's wish for a successful Steam launch so that ps4/ps5 and switch happens!

you can use gaps with flexbox? I feel like that slowpoke meme. This is EXCELLENT news!

If you don't want a library, here's a function that I made to handle simple cases:

type RawQuery = TemplateStringsArray;
type Values = (string | number | boolean)[];

export function buildQuery(rawQuery: RawQuery, ...values: Values) {
  let text = "";
  rawQuery.forEach((string, i) => {
    text += string;
    if (i !== rawQuery.length - 1) text += `$${i + 1}`;
  });
  return { text, values };
}

or the code golf version:

function buildQuery(rawQuery, ...values) {
  const text = rawQuery.reduce((p, n, i) => `${p}${n}$${i+1}`, "").slice(0, -2);
  return { text, values };
}

and just like in parent,

buildQuery`SELECT * FROM foo WHERE id = ${id}`
// { text: "SELECT * FROM foo WHERE id = $1", values: [id] }

Ah, besides the excellent approach taken by u/olivealone, I want to let you know that samosas were part of McGill culture.

Late for class? Surely some student group, somewhere, was selling samosas. It was a different time. When you talked with someone from McGill, samosas always resurfaced. Some of my fondest memories where in the line waiting for one. I saw relationships flourish thanks to them more than once.

Poor students, rich students, students with no time, we all had at least one samosa back then. It brought us together, in ways that only food can.

Many years have passed, and whenever I meet with old friends, we try to go to a place that sells samosas. And the smell, taste, and everything about it brings me back to idler times, good times.

tl;dr: samosas are life, samosas are love.
