Do you have any experience gardening?
I decided that I'm going to attempt gardening this year. My dad grew up on a farm and we had crops in the backyard when I was a kid. I still have the old tilling machine that's in good shape and some other rusty tools, but I don't have a hammer to mine silver from nearby rocks so I won't be able to upgrade the stuff.
I think it's too late for my geographic location to start growing early Spring stuff from seeds, so I need to buy some that are already a few weeks old from a local nursery, or maybe online? This stuff sounds kind of fun as long as your expectations are reasonable.

Probably days. I need to get more wood chip mulch to put in them as they soak up the water and keep the plastic from getting damaged from the sun. This would be really bad to have sitting water like this if it was further along the year, mosquitos and stuff would be breeding in it.

Soil is very much soaked, but I don't have any seeds there yet thankfully. When this dries a little in a few days it's time to plant seeds.

It's supposed to release on the 27th, but MH launches can be quite, uh... eventful.

Now that the honeymoon phase is over I think its safe to say wilds sucks ass. The biggest problem for me is the monsters health pool, most hunts won't even last five minutes so what's the point of even playing with other people if you join and the monster goes down a minute after. Its also way too easy and the monsters are so slow its impossible not to react to their attacks.

The worse part is the upcoming updates likely won't fix this. Mizu is a complete pushover and tempered monsters in wilds are a joke so far. I'm still hoping that they introduce some challenge via event quests but I'm not holding my breath.

I read an unexpectedly fucked up novel, but I can't share it with anyone without spoiling it because it's supposed to be cute and sweet before it goes down unexpected roads, but there's no moment of suspense to psychologically torture you if you see everything coming when you're supposed to second guess yourself over and over... It was cute and sweet the vast majority at least.

Sometimes it’s beneficial to be able to come out and communicate a bit. For example, just today I held back vomiting when approaching a neighbor about picking up some brush on her curb. And she said it was fine to take! So I got myself a shitload of good firewood for no cost at all.

Now you may be thinking to yourself, “That’s impossible! I can’t do that!”, but trust me, you can. It’s pretty easy too, only took me a bit over a month to work up the resolve to ask!

yeah. I'm not saying that what someone does has to be the best for society, and I think a certain youtube person said it best: You probably don't want to even be working with these people who don't want to work.
But in the context of NHK where the protagonist collects cash from his parents and watches all of his friend circle and their dreams fall apart... the idea is that having their financial needs fulfilled doesn't mean that things are solved.

 No.141346>>141448

actually, the more I think about it. NHKs message is that people's fulfillment isn't tied to their ability to earn money. The pyramid scheme arc reminds me of this messaging. You can debate if the arc was a happy end or not, but what I agree with from the author is that the happy end was not about the money

We are in the middle of a trend of guys dropping out of the workforce to get by on welfare/parents and they don't reproduce at all because they don't have the resources to waste doing anything but loafing around the house watching youtube. There needs to be a gap where those that don't work can't survive and those that do work generate enough excess to raise children.

>>141346
The message is about not enabling people. NEETism is a drug, they desperately try to justify their addiction with mental gymnastics even when everyone around them can see their lives are falling apart because of it. They don't have the willpower to break out of the spiral on their own, so you have to cut them off and let the physical damage to their bodies force them to get past it.

I've gotten into collecting encyclopedias and reference sets. With how suggestible LLMs are, I'm wary of the truth of things becoming increasingly murky and want to have something I can rely on as being authoritative and truthful. I've gotten quite a few so far. The plan is to digitize all of them into searchable PDFs so that I can essentially have one big reference set, encompassing multiple viewpoints. Having one of those RAG LLMs that can only pull info from files might also be neat.

My collection currently consists of:
- Encyclopedia Britannica (1989)
- Collier's Encyclopedia (1965)
- Funk & Wagnall's Encyclopedia (1989)
- The Volume Library (1911)
- World Book Encyclopedia (1963)
- World Book Encyclopedia (1976)

I'd like to be able to get a few more. The one's I'm looking at adding to the collection are:
- The Volume Library (~1960 - 2010)
- The Young Students Encyclopedia (1985)
- World Book Encyclopedia (1940)
- World Book Encyclopedia (2017)

hmmm well one problem with this is that you'll have a lot of decades-old outdated information
in particular one topic i'm investigating was famously covered quite badly by encyclopedias in the past, and tons of books and papers from the last thirty years have had to argue against the popular conception that's come down from 18th-19th century myths which are still treated as fact outside of specialized literature
i think it's a solid idea but you should definitely watch out, especially with those that are more than 4-5 decades old

>you'll have a lot of decades-old outdated information
That's certainly true, but it's also desirable in some circumstances. For example, an encyclopedia from 1989 is in theory going to have more information on the Soviet Union than an encyclopedia from the last 20 years simply by virtue of the Soviet Union being extant at the time of writing. I also think it's desirable to have viewpoints across time as a reference for how understandings may have changed.

My rankings for the season from what I watched, excluding Precure because it's year-long.

1. Tasokare Hotel - We've said elsewhere why it's good
2. Medalist - Likewise.
3. Fugukan - It's a good escapism show with cute and sexy girls. Nice crazy faces but unfortunately I don't really have the opportunity to attach them to posts. Very much a "to be continued" end with no S2 announced. Juggles endearing SoL with a violent main plot. You know, people having their eyes sliced apart in addition to the usual decapitations.
4. Okinawa Girls - Cute and relaxing ad campaign for Okinawa.
5. Hanako-kun. Great show with a fantastic style, but I lose interest when something switches from its premise of weekly novel stories into an overarching plot.

I was not expecting this from Tasokare Hotel at all. Thought it was going to be a fun mystery show, all the guests solve their mysteries and go back to their respective worlds; but the latest episode turned pretty dark...
A serial killer manipulating one JK to kill her BFF by telling her her death wasn't an accident but her BFF's ploy to kill her. Only for the BFF to commit seppuku from the guilt of having accidentally killed the JK. Which then leads the JK to go to HELL for killing someone in the hotel... very much unexpected turn of events.
Might be the best anime this season.

The ending was nice. A stack of conveniences, but nice.
The work at Tasokare Hotel buys you time to revert back IRL?
They conveniently had just enough time to go back to save Atri?
"Oh you don't have your memory of the Tasokare Hotel if you go out the door, but if you use this elevator you can keep your memory intact!"
Monkey demon had a box that opens the gates to hell, which he didn't use to take a glimpse at it for some reason, and opted to having someone get killed for the gates of hell to open

Finished it. Yep, it's the show of the season. Medalist is cute, but a show with a great story and characters really puts Tasokare at the top.
The end was a bit too convenient to see time travel pop up, but I guess it was mentioned early on. It was just my assumption that the "time" mentioned was something added to their lifespan. But, it was still a very satisfying ending. Episode titles really should be less direct. Episode 11 named something like "Pistol and Hell" and 12 was "Revenge". That's not something people should see in the opening of the episode.
It really makes me wonder what the phone game was like, but it's not translated, so meh. It's not going to be as good if you already know how everything ends.
I hope we see more from Neko's VA as her anime career is fairly old but bare.

I think "in use" could encompass more than just "releasing a sequel". Projects in active development could easily be counted and I think just producing copies of the work for distribution would count as "using" it. I wouldn't want to incentivize shitting out a sequel every couple years just to keep the rights (like with Sony and Spiderman), but I also don't want Disney locking something away in the vault for five years to build artificial scarcity for a rerelease. That's a really low bar now that digital distribution is the norm, but there are still plenty of cases where games go offline and I shouldn't have to wait decades to release my own version of Concord.

First time eating beef stew after it was frozen for a bit. It's, uh.. huh. It's not as flavorful, but the texture isn't as bad as I thought it would be. The main issue is the the water seemed to separate from the other ingredients in the broth so it's like stew chunks in water. Edible.
I'd do it again.
