Good! I'm glad to hear it. I guess I just had bad luck with the ones I found. Yep. One of the best English dubs out there.

I really, really wish I liked tomatoes. I like the things that are made from them. But I don't like plain tomatoes themselves. It makes me quite sad, honestly.

That is an absolutely gorgeous color. How's the Tuzu?

Did you know there's actually a genre called uplifting trance? My favorites so far in that category are: Summer Nights - Craig Connelly and Ellysse Mason Little Mystery - Craig Connelly and That Girl (really that whole album is fantastic) Remember - John Kenza Sansa - Gareth Emery I'll add some more (from other genres, too) later. It's 4 AM and my head is starting to hurt.

I got hooked on the manga first, thanks to the aforementioned Shonen Jump app. I can highly recommend reading it--the anime's amazing in the way it brings the story to life, but there's a richness to the manga that makes me like it just a tad better. Plus, the manga currently outpaces the anime in terms of material, so there's more to read. (I haven't seen the movie yet either, funnily enough.) Also, Yor is best girl. Hands down, no contest. (Except from Sylvia, but we don't get to see as much of her, sadly.) I'm all for sailing the seven seas, but I've found the apps to have a decent selection at great quality. The few time's I've read fan translations there's always been some level of jankiness that distracts me. Up to you, though.

I'll second the recommendations for Kaguya and Komi. Recently, in the romance department, I also loved The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten (I'm keeping up with the LN and it's one of the most sickeningly sweet and wholesome things I've ever read/seen) and Tomo-chan is a Girl! In fact, I watched both series through twice. I don't think I've done that for any others (yet). I'm slowly getting into watching things again. Frieren's at the top of the list for fantasy/adventure, then Re:Zero (one of my favorite series I need to catch up on). And of course there's SPY x FAMILY. Take a guess as to how I feel about that. The Shonen Jump and Viz Manga apps are wonderful and only cost like $4/month. I think Frieren's on Viz.

Platinum can't keep doing this to me They're almost worse than Sailor at this point. Which ones?

I'm glad to hear it gets better. That's what I had thought, but my loathing for it has thus far kept me from trying to get better rods or things like that. I suppose next winter I'll dedicate to improving there.

Started my day today listening to some Conference talks--something I haven't done for a while. It had a marked affect on the quality of my day. (It helped that they were both Pres. Holland: "The Cost--and Blessings--of Discipleship", from 4/2014, and "Tomorrow the Lord Will Do Wonders among You", from 4/2016.)

Does anyone else hate fishing as much as I do?

Nothing beats Provo itself--the temple's closed for construction? No big deal, just go to the other one in the same city.

That is indeed the coolest thing I've ever heard. Also, I love this.

Porter Robinson just released a new album. It's...unique. I like it, though it doesn't pluck the same emotional strings for me as his last two. (This is not a criticism, just so we're clear.) "Year of the Cup" would be my favorite song on the album if it didn't heavily sample a Lil Wayne interview in which he swears profusely--it's got such pretty instrumentation. Other than that, I love "Is There Really No Happiness?" and "Kitsune Maison Freestyle". I just love this guy's style, and he's got such a pleasant voice. I really think he's one of the best working now--he's certainly one of my favorites.

I mean, to be fair, I could tell she was starting to warm up, but by that point I was not expecting her to make a move like that. Besides, I was trying to be a gentleman! (In other words, you're exactly right.) I'm gonna go boot up Stardew and sulk with my tsundere wife.

I knooooowwww But what was I supposed to do? I thought she hated me, I wasn't gonna kiss her out of nowhere!

I've heard that Shane's the same way. He's probably who I'd go for, were I inclined to pursue a man in the game. I will say, there was one hilarious moment where I didn't realize Haley was flirting--there's a cutscene where she shows you a new darkroom in her house and asks if there's anything else you'd like to do while you're there. My response was something like "Oh, do you need help decorating?" Kissing. She wanted to kiss.

Ooh, I love Stardew. I really should get back into it. I played it 8 hours a day for a week back in 2020 (thanks, quarantine!) and then off and on since then. My first game I married Leah (no, I don't have a type, what are you talking about) but the second time through I went with Haley, who is surprisingly wonderful if you can be patient with her. (I understand this is a tall order.)
