Shame it isn't on any official streaming site in English, but the fansubs are decent and the series is a hard recommend from me.

Sorry I'm following up like a day later, but I've been looking around about messenger bags and wanted to ask more questions from someone who clearly has a bunch of experience with them :)
Do you find they work with heavier loads? I feel like a laptop + books or tablet or whatever could add up to quite a bit of weight to be put on a single shoulder. What's your experience with this sort of loadout, so to say, if you're okay sharing that?

If you use one, have you found it to be okay during periods of moving around more? I bike daily so loose fabric or bags with long handles are pretty terrible as they swing their mass back and forth constantly.

Comment on Looking for suggestions for games that don't require hand eye coordination or fast twitch reflexes in ~games

It's really nice, the management side of the game is much more present than in the also popular Planet Coaster, and a campaign mode is included to get you a goal to work toward if you aren't into pure sandbox building. You can also decorate rides with a grid-based system that can result in some beautiful buildings with just enough restriction to force you to make the best out of the simple pieces the game gives you. I've spent hours decorating some rides and the results make me proud every time I go back to look at them.

Comment on What board games have you played this week (to 12th June)? in ~games.tabletop

The combat, despite being seemingly a little random with all the dice you're rolling, has quite a bit of depth for which to make strategies around, I find.
The "persistence" of the world is an interesting element as well, especially since most people's game started from the same "seed" but progressed differently as different factions took over the land and moved the capital. It's a very interesting experience that keeps making me come back to the table for more of it.
I am sometimes surprised the Fake London bit hasn't been prerecorded and simply pasted in when needed as a minute long repeating gag.
I thought this video was interesting. It's both kinda not his style (The amount of seemingly custom done 3D animation is impressive, and the random dips into what seems like doomer hyperbole are not really his thing) but also a very NJB video (Fake London bit, Amsterdam, so on).
It's gotten me interested in looking into self driving cars more, at least - I didn't even know they were already active outside of like, closed tests and beta programs and whatnot.
