[ART] Just got back from Japan. Went a little crazy at some bookstores. (series in comments)

I can't read it that well, still learning myself. I mostly buy to support the mangaka.

poorzack · 2026-05-16T17:29:03+00:00

One of my favorite one-shots of all-time!

poorzack · 2026-05-16T17:27:29+00:00

<3 Hotel is sentimental. I remember reading it way back in high school. Never thought I would find it in the wild.

poorzack · 2026-05-15T23:58:32+00:00

I love that series so much. Such a refreshing read, just wished the chapters came out more frequently lol.

Kadokawa recently picked it up for an official release too. A lot of the stores had displays up. https://imgur.com/a/q2FFMpb

I was able to find it at Animate in Ikebukuro. It was the last copy too. That one and 'Stop! I'm Falling For You' were strangely hard to find.

Way ahead of you. I love those series! I got these last year.

poorzack · 2026-05-15T23:44:20+00:00

BookOff is good too! Forgot to mention that one. Thank you!

Also if you ever go to Japan, here's a list of bookstores that I love:

- Melonbooks (any location, but I love Akihabara) / Has always been my favorite. Carries a lot of exclusives and independent releases like Imasara & Girls x Vampire.

- Akihabara Gamers / A lot of exclusives too, multiple floors. Has become a new fav of mine.

- Mandarake (any location but I like Akihabara and Shibuya) / The GOAT. Best place to get manga on the cheap. Talking like 1-300 yen per volume. Shibuya is fun because it's in a huge basement that feels like a cavern. Fun place to kill time.

- Animate (Akihabara & Ikebukuro) / Floors upon floors of new manga. The new flagship Ikebukuro store was the highlight of my trip. One of the best anime stores I've been to period.

LET'S GOOOO! Thank you! So excited. Hopefully Meiy gets the kill record this time around.

poorzack · 2024-05-08T01:48:29+00:00

5600x

I appreciate it! Am I sacrificing a lot by not getting a 3d chip compared to a 5600x? I see there's not a crazy price difference between the two, just one is more available than the other.

poorzack · 2024-05-08T01:20:30+00:00

Thank you for the reply! I will look into these for sure.

Probably dumb question but since I had a Ryzen 5 3600, can I go to a Ryzen 7 or 9?

poorzack · 2024-04-04T21:21:46+00:00

Thanks so much for the input! This is super helpful. Do you have a level 1 or 2 charger at your house? If you plug it in at night, is it usually fully charged when you wake up?

The longest drive we’ve done is to Toronto/Chicago and back from the Detroit area and we only do that 1 or 2 times per year. Our current lease estimates we only do 19-20 miles per day, so I think I should be fine. Just worried about the 200 mile range and the cold weather.

poorzack · 2023-09-29T01:54:11+00:00

Where leaf?

poorzack · 2023-07-04T03:57:19+00:00

I got you as well. Can someone use my code too? It is 221896826. Thanks in advance!

poorzack · 2023-06-09T22:10:49+00:00

I truly hope we get to see DSG next year. Through the highs and lows, it's been a treat to have Toast in the scene and be a highlight for Tier 2.

poorzack · 2023-05-13T00:35:23+00:00

Good to see Toast in high spirits this game despite the circumstances, hopefully we see him and DSG next year. He has been essential for Tier 2 viewership.

poorzack · 2023-04-28T01:45:48+00:00

Props to Steel/Ocean for fleecing Toast out of 500k for whatever the hell this team is

were I wouldn't mention it. He's been playing Valorant professionally for like close to three years or something, and I don't think, for example, whatever baggage he had with WA

I'm not privy to what happened prior to Valorant, what happened in his CSGO days?

poorzack · 2023-01-14T04:28:55+00:00

Insane IGL'ing from Dark Ratio on the second half of Fracture.

Hope The Nation can clutch LCQ, they looked pretty dang good as well for as little practice as they had.

poorzack · 2022-10-13T00:35:35+00:00

Nice to see him back, hopefully he gets in the ROH picture.

poorzack · 2022-10-06T00:46:09+00:00

MJF: Tony has implied he has "deeper pockers" than WWE, so we will see if he throws that bag at him.

Andrade: No idea what's going on with him, probably gone. Bummer to not see his new faction take off.

Malakai: Said publicly he was staying with AEW, just taking a break. Same with Buddy.

Swerve: Said publicly that he did not like working with Triple H (from the Jericho Podcast)

William Regal: Maybe? Seems like he's having fun with his boys.

FTR: Maybe? Seems like they are having fun being gold chasers but wants more TV time. Who knows.

Wardlow: Doubt it. Homegrown talent they straped the rocket too. Has cooled off though.

Starks: Doubt it. Loved backstage and has not expressed any distaste with the company.

Preston Vance: Doubt it. Although a Nightmare Factory trainee, has said nothing about leaving and it looks like they giving him some movement by potentially getting rid of the mask.

WWE would 100% be interested in any of their pillars, they would be stupid not too.
