This is probably the only way I’ll finally watch that series. I found out about Fruits Basket through a crush I had in high school and I couldn’t, for the life of me, get into the art style for the manga and didn’t even try to look up the anime. I grew up on Shonen and that art just put me off the series entirely. I… Read more

This is my first time watching this series, and let me tell you, with finals coming up and AP testing about to start, this has been the perfect thing to look forward to and watch once a week. I’ve loved every single episode and can’t wait to keep watching this until it’s ended. Read more

Fruits Basket is literally the one ‘nerdy’ thing my wife has ever been into. For her birthday, I tracked down all 23 original volumes of the manga, put them in a wicker basket and put fruit everywhere, and made a “fruits basket basket”. I didn’t know about this, but I’ll very likely be purchasing a blu-ray of this… Read more

I’m kinda torn between “this guy has been screaming help for a while” and “did he really have to stream live the SWAT coming for him?”. Read more

I feel like Riot might be a good test run for unionizing the industry. The workplace problems at Riot are many and manifest in different forms. A united front to strike against all these problems would be better than the top-down approach that’s been reported. Read more

Riot is very committed to cleaning up its culture as long as it faces zero consequences, zero scrutiny, and doesn’t have to fire anyone of any real significance. Read more

This makes my jaded nerd heart want to sing for joy. GG and well played WOTC. I might go out and buy some cards for the first time in 10 years because of this move.  Read more

Everything about this is like the personification of the chef’s-kiss gesture and I love it. Read more

Totally deserved, Burchett is a great player. Read more

I usually *hate* gifs because it’s like saying a word too many times — it just loses its meaning *but* that gif is pure joy ✨ Read more

I’ve never had this luck. My “metagame” is always “see how long you can preserve $50 this time out”, cheap games only, no splashing it all on a single hand. My record is “less time than it took my mother to get from the cashier to her video poker machine”. Read more

Atlantic City is horrifying.

You have “sell your shit for gold” shops literally across the street from casinos, most of which, last time I was there, only had windows facing the ocean, rather than toward the blocks full of shops catering to problem gamblers.

But the soullessness and despair gets soaked into the the… Read more

Getting a dead crab is a huge compliment in Maryland. The locals call it a “Baltimore Bouquet”. Read more

We throw dead catfish at Predators games. This just means esports has finally made it. Read more

Who throws a crab?  Honestly?! Read more

...are we the same person? Former Wii Fit/Lucas/Shulk main here! Glad you're enjoying him as much as I am, at any rate! Read more

This was my feeling as well. I haven’t felt a character “click” yet in ultimate, so I have been playing Lucas and Wii Fit Trainer (my mains from the last couple games). I picked up Joker and had that moment where the action and pacing felt RIGHT. He feels like a character specifically designed for the nuances of… Read more
