    And once again Maki proves herself to be best girl hands down. Man that fight was awesome (and proves that her ultimate power up always comes from mishearing people comments toward her) and her being all scared was beyond cute.
    I figured you'd be a Belfast man. I've got way to many ships I like and I'm more partial to the Sakura Empire ships (fuck the majority of my fleet is comprised of them, if only I could get Akagi then my main fleet would be unstoppable) but for some reason Laffy just caught my attention (I seem to always gravitate to the quiet, unassuming females in anime and in this case game). You know I think I'll have to give the dub a watch after it's finished airing, this seems like one of those shows where watching the dub is a must due to the nationality of all the ships (I mean they use different Japanese dialects/accents to differentiate between some of the ships on other sides but at the end of the day it's still Japanese). I just love how people get bent out of shape over this show and it's plot given that there is no actual plot in the game (outside of the whole Azur Lane vs. Red Axis vs. Siren storyline and the side story missions they do centered around certain ships. Quite honestly I don't even know whats going on in the game outside of the fact that I fight Iron Blood and Sakura ships even though I have them in my own fleet and occasionally I get to fight sirens from time to time) but then again these are anime fans so logic goes out the window (I've not hear Prinz Eugene outside of the sub but it can't be that bad). I would also like to point out that it's funny Enterprise is the main protagonist of the show (considering it was the flagship of the American Navy and you'd think the Japanese and the Chinese would be against doing that (the companies behind the game are Chinese run)).
    I really need to get around to watching Cautious Hero since it's been on my radar (once I heard that I'd like it if I loved Konosuba (which I did) I was totally on board), sadly I have way to much on my plate this season to even consider starting it (8 shows is the most I've picked up since my college days and I'm in the middle of watching Patlabor for the first time (picked up the entire collection for cheap and I'm loving every minute of it. Never though a show about Police with mechs would be so good). Maybe I'll start it up after Bookworm and Didn't I say to make my abilities average in the next life end and as long as there is a shit ton to watch next season.

    I'm just glad Maki got her own fight finally and showed off her skills for real. It was a treat that could have gone on longer, but was still extremely satisfying.
    As for Azur Lane, I don't have any attachment to the game outside of hearing about it a while back. So I'm more of a Belfast man myself. 😏 I think the dub is outstanding with the various accents. Although outside of the general hate you spoke of, I hear there is a ton of hate for Prinz Eugen's German accent. Not really sure what people expected from an anime based off a mobile game full of cosmetics and fanservicey art. Fan service aside, the battle sequences are pretty fun to watch. And yes the OP is a banger.
    I heard of Didn't I say to make my abilities average in the next life through Mother's Basement, but alas it's not dubbed. It sounds similar to Cautious Hero: The Hero Is Overpowered but Overly Cautious with a female protagonist. Bruh, whats up with the paragraphs for titles trend with anime right now? Like  YU-NO: A Girl Who Chants Love at the Bound of this World. Its getting a bit silly. I get a good laugh out of Cautious Hero though.

    Shhhh, I still haven't watched the episode now I'm going in knowing Maki is a fucking bad ass (oh, wait I already knew that so carry on).
    MHA will definitely start picking up and I definitely can't wait (I so want to see the upcoming fight for so many reasons). Not entirely sure whats in this upcoming episode but I get the feeling they'll start moving a lot quicker now in this arc (I'm assuming they're going for at least a two arc adaptation this season so they'll need to start wrapping this one up pretty quickly if they want to adapt the next one in what they have left episode wise).
    Azur Lane is my guilty pleasure as well but not in the same way. The show has been great (though man is it getting some serious hate on anime sites) but I only started watching it because I'm addicted to the fucking game and hence my quilty pleasure (Laffey is best ship waifu and I'll fight anyone who says otherwise, yea I have an unhealthy attachment to her (I've spent way to much money on her skins)). That OP is pretty fucking banger though (not surprising since it's May'n and she's responsible for my adoration of the Macross Frontier OST), only coming behind No Guns Life for this seasons new shows (and way after Fire Force's new OP (it's completely grown on me now though I still think the first OP is better) and the new MHA OP).
    My absolute favorite show this season though is Ascendance of a Bookworm. Such an adorable show and way beyond your typical Isekai show. In fact MB did a video on why he liked in and I agree with all his points. No over the top action. No god tier hero bent on saving the world. Just a show dedicated entirely to world building, character development and interaction, and telling it's story.
    My true guilty pleasure this season is Didn't I say to make my abilities average in the next life. The comedy alone is worth watching this for. Besides one episode I don't think I've gotten through an episode without laughing so hard my side hurt (I love the complete awareness it has for what it is (much like Konosuba) and Mile's constant agonizing over how overly strong she is given her request to be reincarnated as an average, run of the mill person (and how she actually was by this worlds standards)). I'm sad it's only 12 episodes long so I really hope it gets another season.

    Its windows 10. Plain and simple. There is so much horseshit that screws with PC performance its unreal. Like we discussed before, you can edit the registry to disable superfetch, compatibility telemetry, and all that other junk that eats up disk usage, and the very next update it all gets reactivated. My next PC will have an SSD, but I don't see me upgrading for another few years. The 100% disk usage is a constant issue for me the first 10 minutes my PC launches. Thats even with disableing everything from loading on start up besides some key apps for my mouse, keyboard, and headphones. Avast and Malwarebytes too.. but thats all that starts up and I still get 100%. Avast is the main culprit for the first 5 min but then its all these windows processes that if I end task will lock my PC up and I have to restart anyways. I just know ending task on super fetch and telemetry provides instant relief.

    I got 2 windows updates in a single week. I've turned my PC one every day for the past 2 weeks so once wasn't some delayed update because of it. After the first update I figured I was set for a while then a few days later GW2 kept lagging super hard and locking up... yup, another update. I really don't get why there are so many updates. I don't leave my PC on all the time like I use to, Its on for about 4-6 hours a day when i work. So programming it to update later is pointless. What are they constantly fucking up for there to be an update so frequently? Why can't we advance into the future to where we don't have to restart every time... and whats even worse these days is every program demands their own induced restart... just using normal restart doesn't count for Avast, and various other programs that update.. no they have to restart through their app. wtf

    Yeah paying off definitely hurts a little which is silly. I think instead of too much debt its how much debt compared to how much credit you have. I was almost $80-90k in debt at one point between my credit cards and my student loans. But thanks to discover cards ridiculously huge credit line I was still $40k under my total limit. I think having everything maxed out is what gets you. Credit card debt apparently is a science to the formula. I got myself into some trouble loading them all up, but I never maxed them out and I always paid on time more than the minimum, even if it was $10 more than the minimum. I have everything on autopay the minimum just so I don't miss if I forget.  I was like $30k in debt in just credit cards at one point. Now I have 2 lines with only around $500 each, and my Discover is at $6800 which I really need to work on better. Every year I had been using a large chunk of my tax returns to pay off the cards.

    I have a love hate relationship with Kohl's. You really got to shop their ads because everything is extremely overpriced. But their credit line with insanely low minimum payment requirements and virtually no interest is super convenient. Plus when they do Kolh's cash, its easy to rack up. I haven't paid for socks or underwear in years. I buy all my work pants and shirts there when they do buy one get one half off. Although lately I've been ordering off their website instead. Its like a conspiracy of my life that stores never have my pants size. I've always wore 30 length, but as I've gotten older and fatter I've gone from a 34 waist to a 38. I fluctuate between a 36 and 38 depending on my eating habits (holiday's yo). I generally get Dockers or Croft and Barrow pants with those flex waists so I don't have to buy pants for the change or have 2 sets of them. I go with 38x30s, or 38x29s if necessary. but no, they always have like 24x30s or 48x30s . WTF it's always opposite extremes... super skinny or morbidly obese, while all the normal people sizes are out of stock. I never understand why they overstock on the minority of what people wear instead of keeping way more sizes that actually sell off the shelves. Same thing with shoes. I hate shoe shopping. I wear size 12-13 depending on the brand. When I go to the store they have a ton of size 7s and a few 14s extra wide. They'll have a couple 9-10s for people that wear those sizes but pretty much hardly any 12-13s, and only in the shoes I'm not interested in. My wolverine boots have been looking ROUGH lately. They still work and feel great, but as middle management, they don't look professional anymore. I just went on academy sports website and ordered the same pair in the same size. Boom. And brick and mortar wonder why they're going out of business. 🙄
    People say having too many lines of credit isn't good. but I wonder how many lines are the threshold? I have 5 lines of credit (Visa, Discover, Mastercard, Kohl's, Paypal) and a car note which replaced my student loan. My credit score is 805. I've also heard cancelling a credit card will hurt your credit as it erases the history of that line, and keeping a balance and paying it on time is more important than 0 balance. All my major credit cards have 10 year old balances. I never pay them off, I'll keep them around $200. I want my score to be super high. I'll never forget the look on the car salewoman's face when she pulled my credit when I bought my car.

    That wallet looks ok.. then I saw that leather sleeve and now it looks like a product I'd use. Like you guys I have way too much crap in my wallet. I have 9 cards in my wallet.  discover, visa, 3 debit cards from my different checking accounts, FSA card, health insurance, drivers license and subway rewards card. I can chuck the subway rewards card and use the app tho, so I might do that soon.  I am tempted to get a kohls card because I bought alot of clothes from them last black friday for me and lady... I have even more cards but I don't keep them in my wallet, like my credit cards for tractor supply and ashley furniture. lol. My wallet reminds me George's from that Seinfeld episode.

    Damn that's a nice wallet and I've been looking for something similar (too bad I didn't hear about the kickstarter before it ended) since mine is fucking bulky and I'd like to get rid of it (I've had it since I was 14). Since I only carry 6 cards on me it'd be perfect (I only carry my debit, 1 credit card, my license, dental insurance, health insurance, and I don't even remember what the other one is), hopefully they'll put it up on the site after initial kickstarter run because I looked into getting a Ridge wallet and those things are not worth the amount of money they're charging for them.
    I quit wearing watches when I started working my current job (can't wear them due to the amount of machinery I work around, sucks too because I had just gotten a new Fossil before I was canned from my old job (not that it matters, I need to get the battery replaced)) and haven't gone back, Sucks because I'm a huge watch collector (one of my downfalls is a good watch, I'm not as bad as those crazy ones but I'm willing to spend good money on a nice watch). Those aren't bad looking watches but not really my style (though the ones in you're pick are right up my alley). I've been thinking of picking up a MVMT or Vincero watch but I never seem to have the surplus cash lying around.
    I think since Kickstarter went live I've only backed 4 projects. I helped back the english translation and release for the visual novel Clannad (which I still haven't played, I should get around to it), a game one of my favorite webcomic artists is developing (though I doubt I'll ever see it released, not too pissed about it since I've been throwing money at him for years for various other things), the BD release of Gunsmith Cats (which should be shipping soon), and I dropped mad money on the BD release and English translation of the entirety of Aria (like a shit ton of money, I wasn't fucking kidding when I said it was my favorite anime. Still waiting on the BD for Aria the Origination and the Artbook/Fan book (which should be done soon)). Honestly I'm very picky about what I'll back on Kickstarter and it goes without saying I won't back any video game projects (except for ones like Clannad that I know will be released) but when I do I drop some serious cash on it (thankfully there hasn't been any other anime I've wanted to back getting released or I'd be extremely broke).

    I enjoyed them for what they were on the first watch though, I doubt I'll ever watch them again. If not for a very very long time into the future when I forget most of everything. I remember the last movie just having so many fake out endings leading into another scene that might be the end it started pissing me off. EndCeption.

    The jumping puzzles are done. I ended up crafting 5 of those pungent foods to skip a few. lol. I made the saddle last night. All I have left is to do those 28 rifts.. This collection was beyond massive. What I don't get is Anet said they didn't want to do anymore legendary collections because they spanned multiple maps and could break.. yet heres the skyscale collection that is so big and spans so many maps its crazy to me. If they could do this they could have done more legendary collections. oh well. Its been a fun although extremely time consuming experience. But I'm definitely feeling more bonded with this mount than the others because of all the work put into getting it. And to top it off, anet really wants to sell skins for it.. one dye channel for the entire default mount skin? wtf. But I bet the skin sales for this mount will be far less than the others. I can only imagine the amount of people that got burned out on this collection and won't finish it. And if a large chunk of players don't finish it, then theres less incentive for anet to make more skins for it.
