    Summer 2025 Anime Thread

    Soo, if you felt you had reached a point where nothing could make you embarrassed to admit you were an anime watcher, it might be time to take the Nukitashi challenge. As far as I can tell, it was made by people who watched Interspecies Reviewers, and then went 'hold my beer'.

    Monster train

    https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2742830/view/519723826332829056?l=english First patch balances change out - 'Buff to Lionsmane' was not on my bingo card ;p Overall seems pretty good though - lots of buffs to bad MT1 clans, and not a lot of nerfs, even Test Subject Alpha got off pretty...

    Alien: Earth

    This was a good episode, although it annoyed me a lot that the xenomorph is just too much 'guy in a suit' movement wise. This is definitely a case of 'less is more' I think ;p

    What are you talking about ? They were attacked by a duck.

    It's a bunch of existing RR authors trolling

    Alien: Earth

    I got to credit them, the bipedal sheep zombie was pretty freaky, they've got some actual originality going on in the series.

    Alien: Earth

    I mean, she stole it because they wouldn't give her a gun. It's probably badass by twelve year old standards ;p

    Alien: Earth

    I just rewatched that bit, and I don't think it does. Admittedly it's a pretty dark and choppy scene but it looks like they are in shipping container with alien on top - she stabs it through the top of the container, spills a lot of acid everywhere, and then a bit after that the container...

    Alien: Earth

    Wendy definitely has wi-fi - they said they added it for remote monitoring but that she isn't supposed to be able to use it when they are talking about how she is fucking with the monitors. The *alien* having wifi seems a bit of a stretch though, but hey it 'worked' in independence day right ? ;p

    Monster train

    The 'bosses get stealth 5' challenge is kicking my ass, pfft.

    Monster train

    I literally just finished that one in a gargantuan blowout. I agree it's super annoying that the starter cards are effectively unusable ( I got *some* use out of playing orechi top floor by himself so I could guarantee the mix hitting him with reanimates to finish the first boss ). Key to my...

    Monster train

    I generally only go for card draw with decks I was probably going to win with anyway. I think the deployment phase removed most of the draw value because it adds a huge ember and space sink.

    Monster train

    I eventually won, but it was mostly due to the relic that removes buffs on entry, so I don't feel great about it - a win's a win though I guess.

    Monster train

    Ugh, the 'Trigger Happy' dimensional challenge sucks - that's the one where all enemies start with damage shield 2 and you start with the worst champion in the game (prince), backed up by the least synergistic clan ( with prince I mean ) in the game.

    The Late Show with Stephen Colbert

    It was still getting more than 2 mil viewers, so it was arguably popular. I don't know how you manage to lose $40m though, I was honestly surprised that it *cost* more than $40m, let alone that it lost that much. I'm pretty skeptical on the 'it was all Trump!' theory in any case - even if...
