Some bad news for you @Lexx the mangaka gave up on My Dress-up Darling. Health issues, it seems. There is a final chapter but it's a time skip.

Doctors are strange man. They get numb to it and kind of get emotionless and that I feel is the best case scenario, the worst is when they get bitter and burned out. Doubly so for nurses, so infuriating that in your biggest moment of weakness people can be so ****ty and the only thing that works against that seem to be causing fear...

What You've Done Today...or yesterday...or what you are doing RIGHT THIS MINUTE!!!
I like to keep my team on their toes. I send a "hi" and they wonder "What does he want from me", "Do I answer", "Is it going to be a big task". Even more annoying is the surprise huddle that starts ringing on slack especially if it's near quitting time, because they know it's nothing good and it's usually overtime. But I got even an even worse one for you guys. Typing animation that, I **** you not, goes on for half an hour and after that you get 2 sentences at most. This is coming from native English speakers. My boss hated this, so much so that he made people write things out in a notepad before they send him a message, so they could just copy paste. Now because of that I send rapid fire messages, so typically 10 messages from me could be sent in a nice 1 to 2 sentence message and the sad thing is I was never a slow typer...

I agree with @Bartimaeus mostly. While the movie is not bad and it did engage me, the only impression I have left of it is how oppressive it felt. Still can't decide if the movie could have used some trimming.

Congrats!- Anime and Manga - New Season
Idk, while the fast pace is nice for a change, to me this is now going at break neck speed and seems like it's skipping on a lot of the finer story points. On one hand it feels like we are missing out on a lot, but on the other I can see where the plot is going without having to go back 10 chapters. If I could describe it best it just seems like panels are missing in between plot points. As far as the story, major hype for me. I think Guts is going to be emo for a bit yet, at least until Schierke comes back with info regarding Casca to rouse him. The less likely option is that the prince is somehow going to rouse him.- What You've Done Today...or yesterday...or what you are doing RIGHT THIS MINUTE!!!
I use tampermonkey, are there actually issues with it? edit: from what I see tampermonkey is the only extension out of those that is monitored by Mozilla.- PILLARS OF ETERNITY 3
If their goal with making games is to just make as much money as possible, then yeah. More than likely it will just go the same way it did with Bioware, they'll ruin themselves chasing that dragon. Multiple companies since have shown that Isometric/CRPG can be done well and with commercial success. You hit the nail on the head there I think, although I think Avowed had much better marketing (even taking in to account the disaster of the first trailer). PoE had a terrible pitch which is ultimately what did it in and shot PoE2 in the crib. They sold it as a successor of the Infinity Engine games and delivered something very different. On the one hand they shouldn't have pushed the spiritual successor" pitch, on the other hand would they have had such a successful kickstarter had they not done it.- Cinema and Movie Thread: coming 2 a theater near u
I can never get over how good The Fifth Element is. I am usually not one for rewatching movies, but this one is for some reason so easy to come back to.- What You've Done Today...or yesterday...or what you are doing RIGHT THIS MINUTE!!!
Eeeexcuuuuse me. Are you trying to label me with the xy gender... I was just making some fun. Happy that the forum is getting some foot traffic and new blood. Hopefully we get some interesting new trolls, because the good ones left and the ones we have I'm afraid aren't trolling. For starters they need to move from AWS and get them some of that free Azure goodness. That's what I find puzzling.

20 hour drive is miserable any time of the year, but I guess you guys are used to it.- The All Things Political Topic - In politics stupidity is not a handicap
It's not, they've been on the decline for a fair bit now. Mercedes had a sharp decline with the electrification movement and now with the move to the hybrid 4 cylinder, they are basically selling SUVs and even there they are not in the top 5. I think the only popular model they have atm is the G class. BMW is having an identity crisis where they have started leaning more in to luxury and comfort than performance and while that is a major contributor to their sales their enthusiasts are cooling off of the brand, thus making it less popular. Kind of like Bioware, they chase the the sales numbers and in the process lose their identity. VW is just not cheap enough or good enough anymore and Audi is basically just a bit of a more premium VW, so it's kind of being dragged down with it. Both BMW and Mercedes had a big enough following for foreign cars in the US. It's not fair to compare them with Toyota as they are not in the same class, a better comparison would be Lexus, Acura, Infinity and there they were competitive because they either offered better performance (BMW) or better luxury (Mercedes). Also from what I understand Mercedes was (is?) very popular in China. It was the biggest market they had, I think even outstripping Europe. (Similar with BMW, the whole reason they started doing those ridiculous grills was because of the Chinese) You remember correctly, they overengenired the crap out of them and hence there were a lot of parts that could break, also Americans notoriously don't service their cars. I mean you were just unfortunate in this situation in that you share a border with US.- The All Things Political Topic - In politics stupidity is not a handicap
The car issue is simple enough. They don't have their hand on the pulse anymore. The cheap stuff, other companies are building cheaper and with more options, and the expensive stuff is not good enough to get anyone exited. Porsche is the only one who is doing well, but the luxury market is never going to drive the economy. The big money was always in the "cheap"/mass market car segment. edit: Also as far as car manufacturing the EU and US function the same, if you build the cars in the EU they will not be subjected to tariffs, a lot of the Japanese and Korean brands have factories across the EU and manufacture the cars they sell there. Also something like 90% of the components also need to be manufactured in the EU for the rule to apply.- Ukraine Conflict - In the grim darkness of the near future, there is only war!
Or maybe they don't want to talk about their actual reason because they don't want to get in to it with you. Here in Serbia for the longest time the "right" was a silent majority. When you talked with the fiery left about voting they always were confused about not know anyone who voted for the right. Well yeah, because people don't care about you enough to get in to a discussion, especially when they see you are looking for a fight. The real reasons people are voting for a different option are obvious enough, the migrants and the economy. There isn't a year that goes by that you don't hear about someone driving a vehicle through a crowd of people or something similar. The economy is down in the dumps without any outlook for improvement. Euribor is sky high, the sanctions on Russia are hurting the EU more then they are the Russians. People want to be secure and well fed, that's always been the main voting motivator. - What You've Done Today...or yesterday...or what you are doing RIGHT THIS MINUTE!!!
