I was a huge anime fan back when i was younger, around 2017ish i switched to reading a lot of light novels instead. So hundreds of books later im having more issues finding anything to read. But i also have a lack of interest for non anime books and its rather annoying. I read through a song of ice and fire a while ago and loved...
You’ll love the Stormlight Archives then. It’s very anime. Crazy magic powers and giant super swords. Most of the fandom thinks the best way to do a TV adaptation would be to animate it
Yumi and the Nightmare Painter is another one I think you’ll especially like. It’s inspired by Hikaru no Go, Your Name, and Final Fantasy 10
In February 2020, Forrest VanPatten died fighting Priority Health, one of Michigan’s largest health insurers, over its refusal to pay for CAR-T cell therapy, his last-chance treatment. The therapy works by genetically reengineering patients’ own cells, then infusing them back into the body to beat back their disease....
Sitting next to each other are two members of the Montmorency County Board of Commissioners. Like all others on the board, they are Republican, which perhaps isn’t surprising in a county Donald Trump won by 44 points in the 2016 presidential election and by the same lopsided margin in 2020....
They’re racists, and their churches told them to vote for him. That’s all they need. There are so many Confederate flags everywhere up north. I’m so glad to have moved downstate
I love that they had multiple members of the crew get into making holonovels, and they had different styles and tastes. One thing I wish Star Trek did more was look at what art would be like in the Federation. We only ever see Vulcan stuff really. I imagine it’s hard to do art plotlines on a science show though
Think about all of the things he has seen, all of the worlds he has explored, all of the green women he has slept with, and when he is faced with death, it shocks even him, to the extent that all he can say is, “Oh, my.” I’m not sure how popular this scene is among the Star Trek Zeitgeist, but I imagine it’s probably...
There’s another character from a different franchise who’s last words were “…and now, for the greatest adventure of all,” and I’ve always loved that quote for the same reason
And instead changing the time work and other things happens depending on where you are. Would be easier to arrange meetings across the globe. Same thing applies to summertime. You may start work earlier if you want, but dont change the clocks!
What you do is you have both, kind of like we already do, but with the global time being the default rather than local time. So, if I were to look at my phone right now, it would say something like 1433 9:33AM.
When referencing the time to people I know to be local, I’d use the local time, but any time confusion could occur, I’d use the global time. We have everything in place already, we just need people to get used to knowing what time it is UTC
I know it’s an unpopular opinion given current circumstances, but I’ve always been a huge nerd about Russia. The history, the geography, the music, etc. And as an American, I’ve always found it fascinating how U.S.-Russian relations have fluctuated over time. We’ve gone from allies, to enemies, to frenemies. This...
I don’t actually run any games in D&D myself, I’m afraid, so I can’t make much use of homebrew, but I always enjoy hearing what other people are enjoying in their own games!
My adult daughter is ending her “year of no brain damage” that was her resolution for 2023 (she said no drinks no drugs no COVID no hitting her head on anything, and actually pulled it off) and asked me for a blue margarita, so that’s one. If I get to the store today, I may have a margarita with champagne (margarita...
Are you swapping the tequila for champagne in the Margarita? If not, maybe call it a Spanish 75? You could probably even find some Spanish sparkling wine.
I’ll probably be having some variation on a Tom Collins because it’s my fiance’s favorite drink. Maybe I’ll grab some champagne and add some Luxardo Bitter Bianco to mine, and make it some kind of cross between a French 75 and an amaro spritz
Have your characters be from Somewhere Else and and make being in a strange place part of the story and any “lack of info” becomes a feature instead of a bug.
