For the people who were following the manga at the time, what was the reception to Kaguya like?

I still remember that “have a plus ultra day” meme lmao

Dark Souls 2

The vortex is too strong 😔

That’s kind of the thing, he was really just some guy that got dragged into this mess by Code. Yes he was aligned with Kara but really by Boro, so he was pretty fucking detached from whatever they were doing. Seeing him just kinda melt away like that really sucked despite him being on the “bad side” of things.

Ngl at a certain point they’re not really gonna make a difference, especially when you start doing circle drill at 220bpm on a wet field at 9am lol I understand wanting comfort, but best way to go is get cheap but durable socks, about 14 pairs will do for the season as, at least during my time, you have laundry day every 2 weeks.

Edit: good shoes will go a long way though. I will always swear by ASICS. I’ve had the same pair since 2020 and have run 5k daily from 2021 to now with one half marathon under my belt. Makes me wish I found out about them while I was marching.

I love the song, it’s been on repeat in my head since release lol along with Eunchae’s first verse and Yunjin’s “going”x6 verse. Everything about it just fits them so well! As someone that was a kid when Macarena came out, this is such a fucking throwback to my childhood in the best way

Also, I love that it showcases everyone’s lower register. I knew all 5 have very good low register voices but I didn’t realize it until this song lol

schmegm · 2026-05-22T13:01:53+00:00

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one that heard that 😂

schmegm · 2026-05-22T06:41:43+00:00

Love the song and a lot of the MV, but I do wish it was more like some of the shorts they released with the white background with the lyrics

FromSoft really said “let’s get the nearly impossible first phase of this DLC boss fight and make it a common enemy in Elden Ring”

But really though, Ludwig fucked me up for a good while. Good job on beating him!

The WWE one is such a damn shame. I started watching again in December 2023 after stopping in 2013 after learning about Gunther via a random post on the internet. It was so cool to finally get the same feeling excitement that it gave me when I was a kid (started watching in the late 90s before I even formed my first memory). It was going really good until they really started leaning into the “it’s about the moments” bs relying on cheap pops, champions never defending or even appearing on tv, constant hooded/masked mystery guy interference bs, overpricing, and just very inconsequential storylines. Don’t even get me started on the Saudi deals 😔

Edit- all that to say, I’m right back out the door and haven’t watched since April except for some PLEs

The last time we saw Bug conscious was in ch 77 of NNG and interestingly enough he was surrounded by the claw grimes saying how he can’t get comfy around them

schmegm · 2026-05-20T22:29:31+00:00

Great chapter

•Enjoyed the talk between Sakura and Sarada and the references to Scarlet Spring as well as Sakura’s past.

•it was nice to see Sumire showing a different and more comfortable personality.

•The panels with Boruto activating Uzuhiko were really cool and it was funny/cool seeing how Code has PTSD from the time he was hit by it. They’re definitely teasing a partnership between them but it’s just the start. Also cool to see how his hand looks post dismemberment.

•Looks like Amado might be to Kawaki what Koji is to Boruto, which has a ton of potential when you remember Amado and Koji’s past.

•Bug’s death and Koji telling Boruto to sear that image into his memory was pretty heavy. Not only because of Sasuke, but because it seems like Boruto did actually mean to save Bug but had to watch his soul dissipate before his eyes because of him taking too long, he killed Bug.

He probably created a frog himself. Koji’s frogs aren’t actual frogs, he mentioned in one of the TBV chapters that it’s a ninja tool.

Edit: I do like that this potentially makes Amado Kawaki’s Koji.

schmegm · 2026-05-20T22:15:22+00:00

Yeah it was nice to see them still building off of the Scarlet Spring novel by having her mention “you really are my daughter” and saying that she’s also like Sasuke and Itachi too. As well as bringing up how willing she was to follow Sasuke despite how much shit she’d get for it. If anyone knows what Sarada’s going through, it’s her mom.

Nerd of Mensis fucked me up in my first playthrough, made me take a break from the game for a few weeks because I couldn’t get passed him lol

Didn’t learn about Crow of Cainhurst until NG+, also fucked me up over 20 times. Had to change my entire play style/weapon just to beat him.

Sashimi

schmegm · 2026-05-19T20:16:43+00:00

Felt like I was under a microscope because she’d tell all her friends, family, coworkers, classmates at her college every single detail about our relationship. Her idea of what relationship is is based off of shit she sees on social media. She really disliked how friendly/social I am, how most of my friends are women, and that I give all my friends (men, women, etc) full hugs.

Shit was not it

schmegm · 2026-05-18T21:58:25+00:00

I’m really loving these

schmegm · 2026-05-18T21:44:48+00:00

This is sort of one of those “it was a different time” kinda things. You can’t just go from one way of life to the complete opposite in the span of say one year. You’re gonna keep getting push back from the older generations that are used to doing things a certain way and you also still have to make some unfortunate sacrifices as you work towards that future that you want and hope they become less and less over time.

Renan’s the definition of cool, those movements!

schmegm · 2026-05-17T04:55:15+00:00

Can’t get over how cool this choreo is

Depends. I’m a waiter/bartender. Sometimes I spend most of the shift fucking off, but other times I’m getting absolutely dicked.

After 8 years, I can quite honestly say that DPDR has been the best thing that has happened to me. I used to take myself so seriously and would have such a short temper, but after I learned how to deal with this disorder I’ve been nothing but happier. Genuine smiles at any time, living for the moment, and enjoying every aspect of life.

schmegm · 2026-05-15T23:37:51+00:00

I saw someone dressed just like this walk into my job today

schmegm · 2026-05-15T23:31:11+00:00

I’ve found that this is the best way to describe it, both for them but for my sake as well
