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.

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

Started a number of titles, the three that stood out to me were:

  • Elden Ring - manga that follows the game, but comedy. Definitely recommended if you’ve played the game. And if you haven’t, maybe this will inspire you to try the game.
  • Uglymug, Epic Fighter - started out very strong. The setting is pretty uncommon but enjoyable. I initially thought this is one of those mangas about revenge and characters are mostly assholes, but it is actually quite wholesome. Too bad the ending is lame.
  • Truth Weavers - non-isekai fantasy. I like the pacing thus far; story is moving along nicely and not dragging. The whole thing is pretty grounded, nothing too crazy going on, but its still a good read.

I’ve been slowly reading The Dragon, The Hero, and The Courier. It’s enjoyable and pretty unique but not something I can binge. There’s far too many words and dialogs. In some mangas, I don’t mind skipping dialogs here and there (eg when the author spends 2-3 pages on some backstory that I don’t really care for), but I feel every piece of dialog here is important or funny.

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

I don’t consider Holyland a classic delinquent manga. It’s more fighting/martial arts than deliquent. GTO is kind of the same, where the focus isn’t with the delinquent lifestyle. I enjoyed both of those immensely, but I didn’t enjoy most pure delinquent mangas (only exception is GTO prequel). Part of it is the style. I typically dislike mangas that are gritty and rough.

Highlight of the week for me is Mashle ending. The series is not entirely original; it is essentially the same concept and genre as “Muscles Are Better Than Magic!” and “Mx0”. What set Mashle apart is the ridiculousness, but there is a limit to how far you can push that.

I’m very glad it ended when it was still interesting.

Pretty happy with this ending. Ridiculous to the end, but in a good way lol

This is probably obvious, but I just try to avoid buying games unless I will play it immediately. I KNOW I will play FF16 after I finish up Zelda, but I still haven’t bought it.

I also don’t look at steam sales unless I’m looking for a new game to play. I know too many people who buy games cause it’s on sale but never plays them

I could be wrong but I thought “DISC” stands for “discussion”. So those threads are for discussing a specific chapter
