Yeah, that used to bug me - but then I got over it and decided to post things even if it was basically just to talk to myself. Can't get people into something if you don't get in their face about it a bit. Start making some new threads, MT and KK.

I thought very briefly about taking a flier on a cheap copy of FF XII The Zodiac Age the other day but decided to just keep my money. I haven't played anything past X and X-2 so I'm curious... but from what I've read I don't think I'll like XII.

Yeah, pretty much equivalent to 50 kg / 110 lbs water. That big ass clay jug that can hold 50 L of water probably also weighs quite a bit too though. She's not carrying just 110 lbs of water.

Traded in a bunch of Switch games yesterday that me and the kid are done with. There is 50% extra credit on Switch game trade-ins this weekend, so lucky me. Put $50 toward an eShop card to get Chocobo's Mystery Dungeon EVERY BUDDY, which is fun so far. I'm only a couple dungeons into it. Got well over $100 left in store credit so I'm going to try to get as much out of it as I can on price dropped and used games.

I feel like there's a difference between being a freak athlete, like a LeBron or something, and whatever the heck Tsukasa is. Also new girl carrying that jug with 50 L of water (did I read that correctly?), Taiju picking up really big and heavy rocks, etc. all feel like too much of a reach. I'm open to any explanation the show might offer though... did petrofication turn people into mutants?

I appreciated Senku's realization that everybody is super powerful for no good reason in this world. I don't expect anime to be realistic necessarily, but it has bothered me that Taiju, Tsukasa, and new girl seem to have superhuman strength without an explanation. They're all just normal humans as far as we know, right?

Finished The Origin yesterday. Note I really want to rewatch Gundam. Maybe I'll do the compilation movies...

Miku is coming to Switch http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2019/07/hatsune_miku_project_diva_mega39rs_announced_for_switch_in_japan Gotta import this one if it doesn't get localized

Slix: You been watching the Fate/Zero spinoff? I just caught up on it this week. I skimmed past it in the charts not realizing what it was. Waver was definitely not one of my favourite Fate characters, but Rider was the fuckin man and I hope he gets summoned again in this show

The Athletic has a feature up right now ranking fan confidence in their teams' front offices. Oilers, Canucks, and Sens rank 28-30th. You hate to see it (Only the Wild ranked worse in last place) Obviously not very scientific - it's based on polling fans - but fun to read anyway.

Save save save Still getting my shit kicked all over in various Street Fighter games. I don't know why I thought this was a good idea I grabbed Doom ('93) on the eShop the other day and I'm working my way through the 1st episode right now. I hardly remember any of the secrets it's been so long. Almost feels like I'm playing the game for the first time again. I feel like buying a new game, but I'm not sure what I want to play. I probably just like wasting money. Maybe I'll check out Mario Tennis during the free play window...

He's finally heating up at the plate and it's so good to see. Defense is still a big question mark at 3B though. A missed catch for put out at 3B cost the team a couple runs last night... Even if he improves defensively, I doubt he sticks at 3B for too many years because he's such a big dude. But it would be nice if he could do the job for a little while before becoming a 1B/DH. They shouldn't be DHing him at all this year. Gotta see what he can do.

This Jays team is seriously so fun right now. Even if they don't keep winning like this, they've got my attention. It's hard to stay interested in a bad team during the dog days of summer but I can't not watch them these days

Free agency and tampering and big trades really stole the Raps' thunder. I guess the rest of the NBA wanted to forget

I think I only have two stages left in the story mode of Radio Hammer Station. 3 Star'd everything so far Played SF2 Turbo long enough last night to realize how bad I've gotten at fighting games However I was playing handheld and it just wasn't comfortable. Gotta try again with a controller.

They made some great additions, that's for sure!

Bo Bichette is instantly my new favourite player. The Jays have gotten way more fun to watch lately. Gonna miss Stroman though.

I'm OK if he dies

They blow the game today and then the trade is announced. Fucking rough. UGH.

Aaron Sanchez is actually pitching kinda good lately, which is weird considering how bad he's been for most of the year. I thought he was cooked. And Stroman's been great lately. Some really strong starts. I hope they keep and extend Stroman. But if another team sees something in Sanchez that makes them think he could be good for them, I think the Jays should take whatever they can get for him. Not likely to happen though since he's been so bad up until, like, last week...

I've been on vacation for a week so I haven't been playing anything. Didn't even bring the Switch with us. But now that we're back home and I'm going to be back to my usual routine, I have a few more tracks to wrap up in Radio Hammer Station one night this week. And I got a good deal on the Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection while I was out shopping in my hometown earlier this week, so I guess there is some SF in my future

Taiju is pretty much carrying this show for me. Dude's the man. Still don't like Senku (plz stop the "ten billion" schtick). And while part of me admires Tsukasa for the not wanting to bring back the adults thing, it just doesn't make sense how overpowered he is. Or that he was so easily able to figure out what Senku's plan was. Like obviously this is an anime and it doesn't have to be realistic or believable, but this guy is pushing it pretty far...

Radio Hammer Station, it's a goofy little rhythm game. I think I'm almost 3/4 of the way through story mode. Some solid tunes. No vocals in any of the music so far, which I really appreciate. Got my eye on the Kill la Kill game coming out later this month. Not sure yet if I wanna get it.

A while back I was planning to get one of the USB adaptor thingys to use a DS4 controller with my Switch, but I got rid of my DS4 when I sold my PSTV (RIP my Vita/PSTV stuff ) so that was no longer an option. For the most part I'm okay just using the joy cons, but there are times when the asymmetrical design of Switch controllers really bugs me. I like it better when the analog sticks are directly across from each other. When I saw this controller in Best Buy the other day it caught my eye. So far so good. I like it.

I think it's doubtful that ad revenue alone would cover Crunchyroll's operating costs. I don't think their competitors can get away with not paywalling content either.
