Hard mods or soft mods?

I haven't watched it since about when this clip of the opening was first uploaded, but I recall a lot of the emotional beats getting undercut by long bits of dialogue interrupting the events of the show.

For instance I remember some fight where it felt like every time someone started speaking all of the other characters stopped everything they were doing as if waiting for their turn to do something. Which wouldn't have been so bad considering you don't want the camera to miss the actiony bits but it took so much time for anyone to say their line that it was distracting.

Again, haven't seen it in a long time so I may be misremembering, but that was the impression I got from my initial viewing.

Have you considered Nonstop Nut November?

There was some stealth game I was trying out that did this. Before you start the game, it's mandatory to set the brightness level so one logo is barely visible. I figure since it's a stealth game I might as well just so I can see what areas are supposed to be light and what areas are supposed to be dark. Get into the game, soon find some guards and a nearby alcove in total darkness so naturally I dash over to hide before they notice me. The guards walk by and immediately see through the dark to spot me as if they had night vision goggles.

I stopped playing the game not long after because there were a lot of things about the game I really didn't like, but those first few minutes were a tone setter for me. To this day I still wonder why the devs felt it was so important to make sure some things were dark enough to not be visible to the player if everything was going to be visible to the NPCs.

You better limit that recursion or imma smack you with a RecursionError

What happened with Crystal Castles?

When I said "they owned bukkit" I didn't mean they founded it, just that they were at the time of the controversy the owners of bukkit. Them taking it over isn't mutually exclusive with owning it.

Also the controversy I was referring to was back in the peak of bukkit's use, and they had owned it for some time before that peak. I'd wager the controversy was a much larger component of the fall of bukkit than them "plucking it apart" considering it was a product they owned and wholly benefited from it being the defacto standard at the time.

In retrospect that reminds me of the big controversy with Minecraft back in the day when Mojang just casually revealed they owned bukkit.

My go to is "Do I have to?"

On the one hand, if they're not getting used then it may be better to get rid of them as they'll clog up the community with threads people have no interest in.

On the other hand, how do we decide which ones to allow and which to filter out? If we only use shows that have previously prompted discussion then that prevents a show from being talked about if it only becomes more popular later on in a season.

One alternative is to only have a thread per show's season. This would greatly reduce the amount of unused clutter in this community and could be a decent stopgap until this community attracts a large enough userbase to necessitate weekly threads. The only thing I don't like about this idea is if a season runs a pretty long episode count, it may become harder to find in the list, and if someone starts an anime partway through its season then they may have to deal with spoilers if they come here to discuss it.

Not trying to one up or anything but if you enjoyed Anya's antics you might enjoy Yotsuba. Much more down to earth than the premise of Spy x Family, but still has a lot of cute and fun moments.

Wasn't aware there was an anime for Megane san. I was reading that a few years back, so this was a pleasant little surprise. I take it people have been enjoying it?
