the funniest part of the reserved list is how cards like thunder spirit regularly threw a wrench in draft format design because there were a bunch of times where a 2/2 flying first strike for 1ww was the common they needed for draft and they just couldn't print it

a friend gifted me a copy, definitely worth playing but I'm not good at estimating poker odds so I usually flame out around the third or fourth boss blind.
if you're actually playing poker, you're playing balatro wrong. it's all about pumping up the value of the hands that are easy to play, and making the hands you want to play easier to get. my ideal balatro run is just getting to play two pair 60 times in a row

a couple of the fights are improved, and there is a bunch of good music for the OPs and EDs, but overall it's a pretty by the numbers adaptation and is filled with a bunch of filler content too.

It also, uh, ends at a point so you have to jump onto the manga anyways at that point.

I looked at the episode list and it takes like 10 episodes to get to the ice mage fight which is like barely anytime into the manga...Maybe I'll pass lol.

balatro and luck be a landlord are both my choice of game for wanting to chill and think a bit for about fifteen minutes

I can’t play balatro without trying for endless hands of aces it’s so easy to build I can’t stop myself. I hope the game gets a big update with lots of goodies because it’s a lot of fun.

It would cost over $1400 if I wanted to get all of the Monogatari series blurays.

I want to get the Garden of Sinners and Heaven's Feel BDs, and that would set me back $370. And that's with a 25% sale. >_>

This is definitely not a lie



Just got back from my inaugural Japan trip. Had a great time doing all the tourist-y stuff, anime nonsense, and eating great food, but wanted to post about the most fun/rewarding experiences I had.

I manage to collect goshuin from 72 different shrines/temples! It was a great excuse go to areas I wouldn't normally see as a tourist and visit a local shrine/temple and to engage with people, at least a little. Some of the coolest shrines/temples I visited were tucked away in quiet neighbourhoods, random alleys, or in one case just in the side of some random office building.



I mostly bought these really nice wooden hardcover goshuinchos from Loft but one temple in Kyoto was selling a Yoshitaka Amano goshuincho collab and I picked it up immediately. Highlight was at Kumakuma Shrine in Ikebukuro the priestess doing the admin stuff said it was cool.


(best attempt at trying to paste together a representative picture somehow)

For anyone who cares, the stamps are from (right to left, top to bottom):

Goshuin were generally either calligraphy/stamps done right into the book or a print you glue in after. At least for the most part, the prints had seasonal/special designs that are neat to look at. I got real good at praying by the end of this. Even managed to be able to ask go goshuin/different stamps combinations entirely in Japanese in the end without them giving up on me and speaking English back. Fun!

Denji being a socially maladjusted teenager is a core part of his character and how he gets so easily manipulated by those around him. It's good IMO.
