1?) Pokemon Alpha Sapphire (Completed Hoenn Dex) 2) Mega Man X(Legacy Collection) Found an 8BitDo SNES controller at my job and decided to test it out on my Switch. This turned into me beating Mega Man X within 24 hours. Maybe the first time I actually beat the final form of Sigma? It's hard to remember because the ending wasn't really familiar to me. Still one of my favorite games of all time. Mostly a breeze for me to get through these days after playing for a long time, but Sigma took quite a few tries. Currently in the middle of X2. First time I've ever played through this far. I unfortunately missed a Zero part, but that technically means more content to enjoy. Currently going through the final X-Hunter stages. I may follow-up with X3, but I kinda want to move on to other games.

The first one was great particularly because it didn't take itself seriously and you could tell they were having fun with it. Plus, Tom Hardy actually does a really good modern Eddie Brock.

Oh man, enjoy the fucking ride. I had one little brief run of fatigue when I caught up to current about halfway through, bit it hooked me right back in once I picked it up again. Really is a standout.

I watched like the first 7+ episodes of Assassination Classroom, and it was kind of amusing, but it never really struck me as must-see. I could have probably wrote a short thesis on what I felt was missing from it back when I watched it, but fuck if I could detail it now lol. So when Elusive Samurai first debuted, it was already fighting an uphill battle with me.

Ok, that does sound pretty interesting. I'll probably give the next few chapters a whirl some time soon in that case.

Yeah, I tried The Elusive Samurai, and there were parts I liked about it, but it didn't really hold me past Chapter 4. Let me know what you end up thinking. If you think it's worth it, I might pick it back up.

I just remembered you recommended those Pixies albums to me, and I popped on Come On Pilgrim and forgot I really enjoy "Caribou" Also, as a person who normally thinks of vocals as secondary, I don't blame you for listening to D'Angelo for the basslines

Did you ever read Chainsaw Man? It's a big recommend if you haven't. That said, with the anime coming out this year, it might be better to just wait for that. I have a feeling the anime could do some of the action panels more justice than the manga did. It's one of those manga where the black-and-white pallette doesn't always serve the details well.

Never get tired of listening to Headhunters. I have recently been digging into some D'Angelo after someone in one of my music classes had been going on about how good he is. And I have to admit, the man does some cool stuff with vocals harmonies.

I mean, some would argue DC is superior anyway. Not me, but don't sell your nerd cred short yet! I actually enjoyed GoG2 more than most. I thought it was just as good as the first one, with my only real complaint being that it felt they leaned a bit too hard on Drax being comic relief. In the first one, he was this ultra serious character that didn't realize how silly he sounded at times. In the sequel, you could tell they wrote it with the idea of him being the funny one, and it just kind of changed the character for me. Overall, I still really enjoyed it, but I also haven't seen it since I was back in theaters, so opinions could be different on a rewatch.

I think I might go ahead and open up the first chapter of Tokyo Ghoul to remind myself to read it some time soon.

HYPE

Never read/watched Tokyo Ghoul, but the cover art grabbed my attention, so I'll probably check it out.

I'm still about halfway through my catch up. Binged for a hot minute then took a break as school started ramping up. I think I'm still around episode 23.

Yeah, I don't really have an interest in watching any other Isekai other than Slime Datta Ken. I've been watching through The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya for the first time recently. It is a trip to say the least. Watching in the original order, and just finished the Endless 8. I can't imagine enjoying that arc if you had to wait for it week to week

You shouldn't... ...but I promise I will always have pants on unless requested otherwise. I find it hilarious that Tassi knows not a thing about me IRL, yet she has such good intuition about my natural state.

Not in my circles

Welcome! ...does this mean I have to put my pants back on?

1) Pokemon Alpha Sapphire (Completed Hoenn Dex) This took about 130 hours. Completed all the major post-game content, caught every Pokemon that could be found in the wild, and grabbed all the legendaries part of the Hoenn dex. Elite Four was pretty easy, but Steven gave me trouble for a few rounds. I had a crop of about 8 Pokemon I trained solidly and regularly used, but my two aces were Sceptile and Ninetales, with a side helping of Sharpedo. I didn't bother with the Battle Resort past getting items I needed for trade evolutions, because that seemed like too much of a time sink. Getting Jirachi turned out to be relatively easy. Getting Groudon without trading my Kyogre was tedious. Required a lot of patience, and I had almost gave up before someone finally responded to a message of mine on gamefaqs and they not only traded me a Groudon, but helped me take care of my trade evolutions. That was dope. Thinking I'm moving on to Bravely Default next.

So many god damn feels, and the fucking visuals!

Why-man becomes a big hook going forward. That thread is a pretty satisfying one to follow even though it takes a few in-between steps. The Treasure Island arc in general is very fun. I felt it took on a bit more of a serious vibe then everything before it. The DB Super manga has been a blast. That arc you're starting on just feels like a fairly different villain, yet classic, while some of the build to it feels a bit more thought out. It feels like the writers care a bit more about making a meaningful plot from the direction Toriyama gives. The new arc that started is pretty sweet so far, so I definitely recommend reading through.

The Pig Latin threw me, too, because I used to read the scanlations and they weren't there. Part of me wonders if it was exclusively a decision by the manga localization that didn't translate when subbing the anime.
