@Otaku I'm on about episode 9

Well there's a coincidence - I check this place out for the first time in many years, and I see a discussion on the anime I'm currently watching

Anyway, time to try X4 for my attempt #9001 to get into that series

The author got fined rather than imprisoned, but he lost his publisher for a while and published a couple of volumes online before it got picked back up

(Light novel, not manga)

As far as I know, no

Everyone thought they wouldn't do more of the anime after the LN author got arrested for tax evasion in Japan, which was a problem as season 2 ends on a cliffhanger and would have been left a bridge to nowhere.

Season 2 was back in 2016

Was going to be later this year but probably delayed with covid

Season 3

It got me to start playing MMOs :p

Which meant it had a lot of the same world building focus as .hack, but just... did it better

Yeah, it was part of the same wave of MMO anime as Sword Art Online. While SAO is more action focused though, Log Horizon was more focused on the players adapting to being in the fantasy world and building a society there.

It makes you realise how much of it was them just putting Yuki Kaijura on full blast over not much happening :(

I did rewatch it a couple years back. It hasn't aged well in a world where Log Horizon exists

But the train of thought wernt Minecraft -> do I still have old screenshots -> oh yeah, I haven't been on that chat in years

Oh yeah, didn't expect the server to be around :p

The early days of Minecraft came up in a HN thread and I went to get some screenshots from the MP server someone here set up way back, which I didn't find in the end, but left me feeling nostalgic :p

Hello

This is on a controller!

X = skip all dialogue at max speed, accidentally pressed it during the opening monologue

Wow, that's a really annoying default keybinding

Also surprised to see my hometown's parody site on the sidebar

Tales of Zestiria, Vakyria Chronicles, Disgaea, Hyperdimension Neptunia and Agarest

store.steampowered.com/bundle/785

Playing Hyperdimension Neptunia. In the opening clip. I didn't realise I'd be playing as Sega, lol.

Got the JRPG bundle on the Steam sale

I didn't when I was a kid though, obviously

Meh, I have Crunchyroll for anime now :p

I remember being super pissed when they dropped the Toonami channel (which was basically CN's anime channel) for CN too, which only had a couple of hours of a day with mostly Nick type reality-tv-for-kids content.

Never watched either of them much, was more interested in cartoons

I think Nickelodeon might have had another channel too, don't remember what it was called though

Let's see, we had: Cartoon Network, Boomerang (CN classic cartoons), Jetix/Fox Kids, the Disney Channel, Toon Disney, Toonami, Nickelodeon. All 24/7 channels here.

Things I remember most as a kid: Digimon, Dexter's Lab, Recess, Megas XLR, DBZ, Cardcaptor Sakura and Pokemon

Scooby Doo was also on Boomerang still, Aladdin had a brief stint on one of the other Disney channels I think?

Found it weird when I found out Toonami was just a couple of hours segment in the US, it was an entire channel over here, and was a lot of what I watched as a kid

I had Flintstones and Tom and Jerry on Boomerang, which was Cartoon Network's "classic" cartoon channel. Think I had some Popeye videos at some stage too. Other than that, the rest of them are just things I'd seen referenced etc or occasional reruns. Maybe Fox Kids/Jetix had inspector gadget at some stage?

So there's a This War of Mine DLC. Decide I'm going to buy it. Stare in confusion for a few moments at Steam telling me I don't own the base game. Eventually realise it's because I only own the base game on GOG. Go to GOG to buy it. Still "coming soon" there, released two days ago on Steam :(

1. Simcity 2013 2. No, 3. If it's your thing, 4. yes, 5. buy/watch it now

A lot of places I read/watch for reviews have pretty much sworn off review scores for that reason (RPS, TB, Arkada for anime, etc)

Pretty ssure you can cancel subs in the Paypal UI

My franchise which I have a totally unreasonable attachment to was not popular. I must defend its honour!

Did they want a 10 or a 2? :p

And... I was going to play Cities Skylines again, loaded up a pre-expansion city. A big chunk of my main highway and connecting roads are gone :(

I had a second email which I used for signing up to a 2nd dropbox account in college for.. reasons. Recently it's started getting spam. Literally used for nothing else

Totally accidental, they swaer :p

etc.

You cna't talk to these people!

Didn't it show you pictures of your friends

So not too surprising
