I was just gonna skim it but ended watching the entire things from start to finish. I religiously played dota since WC3 til 2015, so everything mentioned before then was pure nostalgia (in a good way). I learned tons about the game that happened since, and damn it seems I missed the golden age. I also loved the bits he did on the spin-off games like Artifacts and auto-chess.

I highly recommend this to anyone remotely interested in dota 2 history.

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.

For me, in Chrono Trigger, the most exciting moment was Frog splitting the rock with Masamune. I was shivering with excitement when I saw that.

4th core Soul Strike VS. Echo sabre, dragon lance, basher. She can hit harder than ppl expect while still fulfilling her support role. Battlefury is cool but the way it spreads it hard to control. Doesnt aways win but fun to play

whoosh

Reminds me of Kung Fu Hustle

You mean Chrono Cross? Chrono Trigger was already designed by Toriyama,

Side note, what’s gonna happen to Dragon Quest from now on??

Laughed so hard at the names

Just realized anime confirmed, and from Madhouse! Hyped!

This is why I mostly only watch their limited series, since its always one season and done. Not always good (eg Bodies is nowhere as good as Dark), but at least it ends.

You might enjoy the live action movies then. I watched it a while back so I don’t recall too much of it, but it was enjoyable for someone who’s read the manga multiple times.

Just started this one. Most authors have one big hit but Asakasa Aka just keeps outdoing himself. Don’t think Love Agency will be as popular but its been solid so far. Pretty sure a love “square” is forming. Can’t wait to see how it plays out.

Any Highly Advanced Medicine Is Indistinguishable From Magic is yet another isekai story, but it tries to be more “realistic” than most. It’s about a modern doctor in isekai world but goes into details about procedures like a regular medical manga. It reminds me of In Another World Where Baseball Is War, A High School Ace Player Will Save A Weak Nation which is a manga about baseball in isekai but they also try to keep it “realistic” and play it out like a regular baseball manga.

I’ve bee liking these mangas where they go into granular details about modern day stuff but in an isekai world. It makes the story that much more realistic and relatable.

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

Omg finally! I need to reread from the start tho, forgot most of it lol

Also, if you’re into basketball manga’s thats more on the realistic side, I highly recommend “REAL”

Tha manga’s art definitely got better as it went along. Still my favorite manga ever. Imo the anime did not do the manga justice. I heard the new movie is really good tho, so I am patiently waiting for it to become available in US.

Im also following MarriageToxin. The premise is interesting, altho the battle and abilities seem lacking. I hope they lean harder towards the romcom side going forward.

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.

Pot calling the kettle black lol
