There were a few good moments in Dragon Maid episode, but I’m not crazy about the new dragon

Doooo iiiiiiittt! I'm nearing the end of my run. Haven't had much time lately to play I pretty much just gotta beat Exdeath and I'm done, but I need to grind out a few levels first as my team won't be able to survive an Almagest.

I'll probably cheer for England today and in the final if they make it there, just 'cause they've never won it before, but I think any outcome will be satisfying as long as the final match is good. I was kinda surprised to see Italy has only won the Euro once. Denmark has also won it once. Germany and Spain have the most Euro wins (3 each) so, for the sake of variety, I'm happy neither of those countries are in the final.

Kinda feels like this is Italy’s tournament to lose now. Crummy ending to the match today. Going to penalties isn’t fun.

I’m not really waiting for anything. Just plain happy with what I’ve got. I hope there are people out there that are hyped for the thing though. Maybe that new screen is really nice.

I’m happy with the Switch I’ve got

Dr. Stone # 203 Kind of a weird chapter of Candy Flurry this week, but they’ve set up something big for next week There was a lot going on in that second chapter of Choujin X! Pretty random. But there was some amusing stuff. I’m curious to read more.

Is there an official source for the manga online, on any of the subscription services..? Or did you read fan translations? Despite the bad ending to the anime, I’m still a bit curious to read the manga…

The last episode of Shadows House was pretty bad.

Yeah it’s a bummer.

Yeah you’re dumb Mariners really ruined Canada Day The Jays bounced back quick though and have won two in a row against the Rays. Nothing is more satisfying than beating those damn Rays.

I was pretty bummed for Switzerland yesterday Tough way to go out. Italy vs. Spain should be an exciting match. I kind of expecting the winner of that match will go on to win the tournament, but you never know what will happen.

Started watching FLCL again tonight. It still holds up. For me, this is basically the pinnacle of anime. I can’t remember how many times I’ve watched it now, but it’s been a few years since my last rewatch. I also haven’t listened to the pillows much in a while either. Everything about it is just killing me right now It don’t get better than this. I am still hesitant to watch FLCL Progressive or Alternative, but perhaps I will take the plunge into those after I finish the O.G. FLCL

I didn’t get to watch much of those matches, but I wish I would have seen Croatia vs. Spain. It is going to be dead at work tomorrow so I’m going to play the games in the background in my laptop, hopefully nobody cares or notices

Happy birthday MT. 40 is a milestone.

I dunno about Diablo 4, but I’m probably gonna buy Diablo 2 Resurrected when it releases this fall!

At first I was like because I thought it would be a double length special episode… Then I was kinda bummed because it was obvious that part of it would be a recap… But then I came to terms with the recap and appreciated it because my brain is like Swiss cheese and I can’t remember fuck all, so the recap was actually pretty helpful… also I loved seeing Ai doing the, “Now I’m really mad!!!” thing again twice Okay, things are going good, now we’re getting to the really good part… Then the second half / special episode part… kinda stunk Truly a non-ending, use your imagination to fill in the blanks sort of thing… But… Ai’s back!!! That last visual smoothed it over for me. I’m confused, but Ai’s back and that’s pretty much all I needed to know I guess It’s a shame how WEP ended (two times now ) but it’s still a thing of beauty to me and I enjoyed it, warts and all.

Updated bracket. I wish the match dates were flipped. I think Belgium vs. Italy and Switzerland vs. Spain could both be exciting, and they're both on Friday when I'll be at the office Ukraine vs. England and Czech Republic vs. Denmark on Saturday just don't seem as tempting to watch...

I don’t know if they’re a favourite, but I think Denmark has a pretty solid team.

That sounds fun—until the part where he dies I guess

I thought maybe she'd stick around longer. Happy birthday though!

Germany went down 2-0 to England today. That was a bit of a surprise to see. Also it looks like Sweden is about to lose to Ukraine. Down 2-1 with very little time left on the clock. Quite a few teams that I assumed would be strong have made early exits in this round.

Anime of the Season, Spring 2021 There were some really great anime to choose from this spring. Whatchu got for AOTS Spring 2021??

Didn't even know there was a game last night

Vivy was AOTS for me. It started so strong, and just continued to be really good all the way through. I watched the summary episode last night and that was a great reminder of how great it was. Very close runners-up: SSSS.Dynazenon and Odd Taxi. Dynazenon had a great vibe and atmosphere, and I thought it got better and better every week. Great cast of characters. I loved the ending and all the mecha goodness. Odd Taxi was quirky and at times a bit slow, but in just the right way. Probably not for everyone, but I thought it was very good. It also had a great ending--it all came together so nicely in the final episodes. While Super Cub was not quite in AOTS territory for me, I will say that I did look forward to it every week. It was definitely worth watching.
