I do have all my emulators in a single folder though. My physical releases are in chaos and spread across my room, some in a basket and some in an unused top dresser chest.

If they don’t add a full Crunchyroll or let you link a Crunchyroll account I’m just gonna save $3 a month and switch to only Crunchyroll.
Edit: I’m not actually sure how long I’ve been subscribed to VRV, but I know I subscribed around the time the service became available/sponsored by YouTubers.

I also enjoyed that prominent characters from the first series have received recognition for their feats. My only gripe is I’m left wondering what a Shinigami King looks like.

They call her a centrist, but she seems left standing to me. That's just my view as an American, so I could and most likely am incorrect on that. Maybe I need to look at more than just American politics in the future.

I'd say it's from 4 to 6 inches in diameter, maybe 2 or 3 inches tall, it has a thick crust with a crispy brown end, I usually get double pepperoni. The toppings are always under the the centimeter thick cheese layer, and it is very saucy. What completes the pizza experience is their somewhat salty breadsticks dipped in hot (in temperature and spice) nacho cheese. If you have enough crust left over you can dip it into the cheese for a spicy savory heaven.

I hope Studio Khara now has them and hopefully they've recovered some of the materials sold. It would be a travesty to have cells of great shows like FLCL missing.

It was popular when I first got into anime so now I'm playing the Ultimate Ninja Storm Legacy Collection on my Xbox One. I've also been watching a lot of My Hero Academia. So basically, I'm catching up with the popular trends.

Can the US Government really look on in horror and do nothing out of fear of conflict. Maybe they do not need help, but if they do I hope they receive it soon. The world needs change.

While they do state Australia is the biggest donor towards Bougainville, I am still doubtful on whether or not the Australian Lowy Institute is unbiased. Additional research on my part would be needed.
The end of a long road is always nice, hopefully whatever decision is made is the correct one.

Considering the article mentioned widespread civil unrest I doubt shutting down the internet will prevent the spread of that unrest, if that’s what the Iraqi government’s goal was.

I agree this article was very approachable, although when I got to the comparison of the EME spectrum to Australian destinations I was a little shocked as I wasn’t paying attention when I suddenly got to “Remember, you need to get all the way to Sydney before you’re actually in danger from ionizing radiation.” and had to backtrack a bit.

This was spurred on by the news they are releasing a Mega Man Zero Legacy Collection (Trailer: https://youtu.be/0P3RQFWfW64). I’m definitely going to buy it at least for the remastered sound track, new graphical mode, and the ability to play ZX and ZX Advent. Those two games are very hard to come across in my experience. I’ve got to say, the Zero series is probably my favorite of all the classic style Mega Man games. Highly recommend it! I’ve also been very into the new Blair Witch Project game. It’s not exactly as scary as it is dreadful. Walking around a dark forest brings to mind the days of playing Slender Man on my sister’s old iPod Touch G4. I’m not sure exactly how far I am into the game but it’s been a very interesting experience, and going deeper into the backstory of the main character through flashbacks and hallucinations has been interesting. If you’re looking for a good horror title and have a good PC or an Xbox One I definitely suggest playing the game.
P.S. If you’re looking for something more accessible but similar to Mega Man Zero, Azure Striker Gunvolt is made by the same company (Inti Creates) and carries much of the game’s DNA.

In the city near us though they have a Starbucks and thus it’s more of a drink than a pick me up.
I’ve had an overall bad experience with Roku as I bought a TCL Series 4 4K Tv with Roku on it and the thing reboots itself every few minutes, can hardly play games on it let alone watch Netflix or VRV! Also yeah, the service has a lot of bugs and issues that aren’t being fixed. I wouldn’t be surprised if they do phase it into HBO Max like I was hoping one day.
