The following, I maintain, is true:
1. Breaking Bad is the best TV show of the 21st Century
2. Better Call Saul is not the best TV show of the 21st Century.
BUT
3. Better Call Saul is better than Breaking Bad.
Are we really not getting a 26th episode of #ONEPIECE this year? I guess they want to end on the double spread from chapter 1150, but Luffy/Loki vowing to fuck shit up at the end of 1151 feels like the better cutoff.
New Fire Emblem...so begins another cycle of avoiding playthroughs/spoilers for a game I'd like but probably never take the time to actually play so I end up missing out on enjoying it at ANY level.
Finally sat down to watch Film: Red (and its filler episodes) after seeing that like the top 5 streamed songs from the whole series were all from it. I get it. She's real fun...and probably dead, but this IS #OnePieceAlso clocked that FAKE TYPE song on note 1.
For the last week or so, my laptop has been factory resetting every time it turned off. Didn't lose anything major, reduced the startup apps I never use, got over it. Tried a Clean Boot to fix it and...restored to how it was before the first reset, closed tabs and all, okay sure.
They added an update for people to build their own small, isolated bases in space and it took like a day for people to start building Coruscant #NoMansSky
Ngl it’s wild that 4kids essentially killed off Jaden because the dub ended so abruptly lmfao with him being “somewhere out there, among the stars.” And the credits roll. I could imagine watching weekly in 2008 and being confused when 5Ds premiered the next week after this. 💀
We say goodbye to another legend today 🕊️

Some of his most memorable characters included:

His influence also extended far beyond the microphone.

Rest in peace, Mike McFarland. From Master Roshi and Buggy to Jean Kirstein, his voice and work behind the scenes became part of countless anime memories. 🕊️
No Man's Sky update as a reminder to mention that Stage Fright caught my eye in the #NintendoDirect mostly because I saw Hello Games...The different perspectives interacting was also very cool
