Well folks, it's been two days. Clearly past time to get over it.
Agree. This thing is getting way too much attention. Let’s not feed their egos by letting them think a right wing youtuber’s death is worth our time.

Started reading Apothecary Diaries. It’s better and very different than what I expected. The setting is ancient China, in the imperial palace. The protagonist is an apothecary but the manga is only partially about medicine. The art is top notch. The stories are interesting. It’s a mix between drama, romcom, and mystery. Highly recommend to those who like any of those genres.

Ultima VII: The Black Gate Retrospective | Peak of the Golden Age
One of my favorite games of all time. For a while, I would use the cheat to move beds and stuff to make my own house. And spent the day baking bread or collecting eggs to make money. It was later that I realized this is why I liked playing the Sims.

Started reading Go, Go, Loser Ranger!. Wasn’t expecting much going in. Thought it’s going to be similar to Hero Academia but the plot and characters are pretty interesting. The action isn’t very well drawn, but the overall quality is pretty good. I’m only on chapter 30 and it is starting to go down hill for me, but will see if it recovers.

Also, every kid is different. Some are easy to take care of but others are stuff of nightmares.

What are your favorite Tactical RPGs?
Another good one that’s more recent is Triangle Strategy. Positioning is important. Great story. Very similar to FFT but FFT is better overall. Still a great game and more modern.

Tha manga’s art definitely got better as it went along. Still my favorite manga ever. Imo the anime did not do the manga justice. I heard the new movie is really good tho, so I am patiently waiting for it to become available in US.

Going to buy the entire manga series. It’s rare to see a great manga end at the perfect place, and not keep it going for the heck of it.

Any Highly Advanced Medicine Is Indistinguishable From Magic is yet another isekai story, but it tries to be more “realistic” than most. It’s about a modern doctor in isekai world but goes into details about procedures like a regular medical manga. It reminds me of In Another World Where Baseball Is War, A High School Ace Player Will Save A Weak Nation which is a manga about baseball in isekai but they also try to keep it “realistic” and play it out like a regular baseball manga.
I’ve bee liking these mangas where they go into granular details about modern day stuff but in an isekai world. It makes the story that much more realistic and relatable.

Service Wars - saw discussion posts quite regularly but I typically only read manga with at least 20 chapters already, so didn’t start on this one until recently. Only on chapter 6 so far but holy crap it’s hilarious and the gags have been plenty and mostly unexpected. Looking forward to seeing how the author can keep things fresh.
Kimi Janakya Dame na Dorei Shoujo - unexpectedly wholesome with light humor. This is pretty standard stuff, and the art is good, not great. But the execution is superb so far

Its not about how old the candidate is, its about not having other valid alternatives when you dont like the candidate chosen for you.
Edit: just to make sure the point gets across. Imagine going to a restaurant, the waiter asks if you want to drink moldy water or toxic industrial waste. You see behind him lies an array of normal, refreshing beverages but sorry, you weren’t given those choices so you can’t have any of that. Thats basically this election.

Mangaka Discussion: Osamu Tezuka
I’ve only read Phoenix, Black Jack, and Mitsume ga Tōru. I read them in the 90s and I thought his mangas lacked detail and wasn’t that well drawn. But despite that, and me being a kid, I was drawn to his stories. I was way too young to understand the nuances (especially in Phoenix), but I still enjoyed them greatly.
I really like how his protagonists constantly “loses”. It makes the characters more relatable.
I’d like to see a discussion of Tsugumi Ohba x Takeshi Obata, particularly how people feel about their latest works and info on whether they would possibly work together again

Trillion Game is like the manga-version of Silicon Valley, sorta. Glad its serializing again.

[DISC] Dungeon Meshi - Chapter 96
Finally a new chapter! This is so close to becoming a 10/10 manga for me. If the author properly closes the story out, I’ll definitely buy the entire series
