Reticently

I don't know if any of you are familiar with "The Man from U.N.C.L.E", but the man in The Man from UNCLE was literally a (distant) cousin of mine:

Seriously though, while the pacing this season was pretty flubbed, the payoff was really well done.

It's one of those things that's better than it ought to be.
 
Like a bunch of good things though, it probably runs on a little too long.

When you expect hot garbage, mid feels like a triumph.

The Batman Mask of the Phantasm 4K disc is out in stores, I've noticed... of course I snatched that up immediately.  That one is certified "Legend" status to me.  That soundtrack was also a classic.

can confirm this was the case during the time I was a govt contractor.

During this last break from the site, we had a couple of things happen. Most important is that our plan to buy a house fell through (luckily we had only put up $500 for a application fee instead of our down payment). We are exploring other options for that, including renting at the same complex our daughter-in-law is at ... and staying here. We've not had any further issues with our Shepherd since the order was lifted, and the HOA fees are half of what we would potentially pay for rent, even with the $50 fee increase that started this past month. Since this happened, we will be here through the end of the year most likely (we are on a month-to-month basis with the HOA, and do not have a contracted commitment to stay currently).

Man, who could have possibly seen that coming?

Holy shit is it godlike.

May?

This is a real possibility now
 

For a big stretch of episodes, you'd have 7 minutes of opening/recaps on a 22 minute run time. 4 episodes an hour isn't a big ask.

CEOTaku is this weekend sf6 pools.

This is such a bad take it can only be had by abusing your powers as owner of this website.
 
Terrible.

People who can't handle big rosters are old people who can't handle learning match-ups anymore. 👴
 
I have no such issues.
 
The final version of Melty Blood has 93 chars and it's glorious.

SFII:WW obviously got a shocking number of things right.  But even back in the arcades it was just a matter of time before other, often inferior, games started getting quarters again.
 
I can nostalgia grind a lot of stuff too, it's just that once you've gotten the lion's share of the knowledge down on the matchups for the character(s) you want to play, and reached the point of diminishing returns on improving your execution, there's less 'play' in playing the game.  It takes a really focused passion to stay in on a specific game when something similar is offering fresher hits of dopamine for the same time investment.

I honestly get flack for this take... but skip around. Not every episode is needed and you can read summaries or watch recaps going over stuff. If you feel compelled to watch more do so. Between Crunchyroll, Netflix and even the free 24 hour One Piece (sub) channel on Pluto TV, you got options.
