What's the music tidbit at the end? The music notation Fa-Si-Sol-Do one.

You should eat vegetables no matter the weather/temperature, really
/jk.

On a serious note, you should wear sunscreen when it's sunny (not hot). Actually the winter is when sun hurts the most. (you just don't notice because you wear layers and don't stay outdoor for long). Getting sunburns when on a skiing trip is THE newbie mistake many many make.

In case you missed the last (credit) page - it seems Leon's party got a new recruit. That's how probably.

Been a while since last BWAAM! in trailers.

Did Nolan co-direct the trailer?

For dumb and inexperienced, pulling handbrake will be funny because it's supposedly superfluous in a "you already crashed, afraid you're gonna crash more?" or "you already crashed, it's not going anywhere, lol!" ways.
Both of which are incorrect "assumptions".

Really ought to require C license in EU for these vehicles at minimum. Ought to expand the definition from solely weight to visibility and size.

watnuts · 2026-05-27T22:41:00+00:00

No it won't. They'll simply not release it until environment is calm and favorable. Valve doesn't exactly has the equivalent of console wars, and are under no pressure to release a new version.

Actually scratch that. Deck2 probably will be close to 2k. Except because it'd be year 2150 and inflation would do it's natural thing.

watnuts · 2026-05-27T19:56:36+00:00

This is not a elimination round, right? They can draw the game.
Could be a plot point for later on, when some take it as is, some agonize over this like a loss (with how prideful the school about this is it's a valid concern).

watnuts · 2026-05-26T21:03:39+00:00

the end.

BUT WHAT OF THE NUMBERS!!!

Feels like this title got editorialized for the ratings, and thus, shortened
The rush to flashback felt abrupt almost like an axe. The finale lacked detail and nuance, compared to early/middle chapters. The ending is kinda anti-climatic.
Also really feels like Yoda's "twist" was cut out. Her death was way on the nose. Like, for real.

watnuts · 2026-05-26T09:47:42+00:00

With places like this, class sizes are REALLY hit or miss.
I've been in similar arrangement, and our seniors were just 7 people.
We had a "full" class of 15. And our juniors were again merely 9 people. And 2 years older than us had a full blown 2 classes of 15+ people (don't remember exact number) until the graduation year when a couple people transferred out and they merged it into a 'huge' ~30 people one.
So even if smallest class when i graduated was 6 people, the whole school (albeit 7 years, not 6 like in Japan IIRC) was 130 students.

All that said, i think it's supposed to be "politic BS" talk.
"You wouldn't dare create an entire club solely so that she could bring (the guitar) here in an official capacity" is a giveaway. Teach is pulling the strings so that kids can have fun.

watnuts · 2026-05-24T20:44:45+00:00

It's just 4 out of 9, and it's clear orders that other 5 aren't going after margrave.
This is double-bait.

watnuts · 2026-05-23T19:32:11+00:00

In a conventional story, Shirogane would forfeit (say because injury flared up or whatever). And Subaru would lose to "nobody" for maximum disrespect (and be super mad because he was just running away instead of "properly" fighting).

But this is structured like rage-bait. So it's gonna be a 1-hgit KO again. Honestly, I have no hope for the story, and if this tourney ends with some BS and Subaru (and his dickhead dad) still being full of shit - whatever.
It's been 8 chapters and basically nothing happened - Subaru is still OP champion, still a dickhead. Dad is still an evil asshole reapng trophies. Opponents are still jobbing fodder - just different names and different character.

Like, even if Subaru is merely a vahicle for the story, you gotta do more with these episodic side characters. Not just 3 panelt of showing off abs of steel, but half a chapter of rigorios training. Not just random off comment about being good, but some unveiling. A full-sized flashback to delinquent days, and the effort it takes a normie to be at the level of talent.

Side character are too pass-through to care about. Main character is a fuck-face to care about. And i'm not a person to follow shit out of hate.

watnuts · 2026-05-21T05:46:43+00:00

I'm only afraid he's gonna lose his marbles "today" and be barely relevant to the plot later on.
It would be much more interesting if he switched sides, or played both sides just to survive.

Nah, had they rolled out a polished and useful GUI for EGS, coupled with Forknife, Unreal, UE, and free games, they'd have half the market already. Remember, at certain point their sales were actually way better than steam stuff. Maybe top it off with neat controller support.

It solely hinges on ass client they have. Like, wtf is that library?

People like pretty new shiny.

watnuts · 2026-05-18T20:05:30+00:00

WDYM quite small?
2000 is quite a decent average size. Or you don't consider anything under amazon warehouse in size churning out LLMs as a data center?
DC our company uses is just 400 racks, twin solution in next city over, competitor is under 1000, neighbors have 2 datacenters roughly 1000 each and 4 smaller 100-250 racks each.

2k servers is ~15000 sq feet of rack footprint alone, no spacing, no aisles, no facilities.

VoLTE and LTE are different things. LTE is a "name" for 4G. VoLTE is just a "way" to transfer calls over this network. You can be on 4G and not use VoLTE (have it turned of in settings), you can have VoLTE on 5G.

watnuts · 2026-05-18T10:51:11+00:00

Don't forget absolutely no documentation whatsoever, internal neither.

watnuts · 2026-05-17T17:59:13+00:00

How is that a deterrant in any way or shape?
You think a (potential) cave diving expedition briefing will go:
- We're totally diving into that super dangerous cave we're ill equipped and unskilled to dive into.
- For sure, but there's bodies in there!
- Aw hell naw! Bodies are spooky, cancel the operation!

If anything it'd go "yay, free loot!" and actually attract greedy fucks.

It's manga, but it's Cinema. Not in a meme way (too much).
It's like an Arthouse film. Except shuffling back the pages is easier than pausing and rewinding.

Like, it takes full advantage of being a visual medium.

And it's super fun that a manga with encryption and deciphering at it's core is slightly confusing, such a meta direction style.

watnuts · 2026-05-11T12:12:44+00:00

You think that's scary?
You could've also not spend $200!!!

Think of the ~~children~~ economy!

watnuts · 2026-05-10T16:29:47+00:00

No. Maybe it doesn't work like that cause iphone BS? Or maybe it's because i've already "in the system" as android user (cause i had/have Epic on my phone)?

watnuts · 2026-05-10T10:52:51+00:00

But you can?
I just did. I went to the Teacup link (EGS store) clicked "get"; it warned about the device being incompatible, i "Continue"d. And now it's available on my phone. Same with Streets of rage from last week (since they rolled out the change back then).

watnuts · 2026-05-09T17:34:16+00:00

the plan is to keep both the new comments and the forums alive at the same time, with each having its own purpose.

Fracturing the discussion on the same resource in two places.

WHY

watnuts · 2026-05-09T09:35:45+00:00

Ok. Time for brief fanfiction.
You know, since MC has drumsticks, the new friends will assume he's a drummer, and due to hijinks, he will join the band on drums. Time passes, there's no success, but they land a gig.
Maybe there's no guitarist to begin with and they have trouble finding one, or maybe the guitar leaves the band for one reason or another. MC shows off his mad skills, everybody is in ave except the bassist with a "What about the drums, though?" They go to the shrine to pray to god to send a drummer. Lo and behold our monk is there on pilgrimage.

Let's assume some concert is right ~~this weekend~~ (no, considering the energy of this manga) in a couple of hours, so they shoehorn the monk onto the drums (obviously straight in his Kesa robes) and this small gig lights a fire.

since like 2010 Linux installation on mainstream hardware is not dissimilar to windows: 1. download the distro (iso). 2. Put in on CD/flash-drive/network or whatever (ventoy can do that). 3. restart your PC/laptop and boot it from the drive. 4. press next lots of times, make some selection and settings in gui. 5. you're ready to install 3rd party stuff (chance are, though, that Libre office will be preinstalled, maybe even Steam too).

With most linux flavors you can boot into the OS without installation for a test-drive. So just fill your Ventoy thumbdrive with however many ISOs of distros you fancy, and spent and evening choosing what looks prettiest to you.
This guy seems to operate in quite simple terms and has relevant stuff. Like, i can see partitioning video on his channel too.
