Trigun - Verrrry slowly been watching the OG classic. I’m only a few episodes away from the end. Finally some more backstory filling in details! It’s good, but I’m not quite blown away, while something like OG Cowboy Bebop still holds up.
It's the last four episodes that really make the show on this one, so you may yet change your mind.
A lot of Broadcom cards are supported, so you either have a missing driver/firmware blob or some really bad luck.
Historically, phone line modems were very often unsupported (some people may remember the term "winmodem"), but hardly anyone uses them anymore, so the problem has effectively gone away. Older consumer-grade printers that didn't speak Postscript, ditto. I own a very old TV capture card of the analog type that has never been supported, but probably won't work with modern Windows either.
Modern hardware is more likely to be supported unless it's too niche to attract developers, or too bleeding-edge for its protocol to have been reverse-engineered yet.
Lord of the Mysteries
I’ll watch. It wasn’t in the seasonal list for summer, so nice catch
I suspect it wasn't on the seasonal list because it's a donghua rather than an anime in the strict sense. The first episode suggests it may end up being style over substance, but it's got enough style that I'll continue with it.
One thing I have wondered since season 1 is why its target demographic is seinen. IMO suspense is one of those genres that cater to all age groups and genders.
Hmmm. Shounen publishers might have thought that a political-intrigue-based story with a female lead wouldn't be popular enough with their demographic, and josei tends so strongly toward mundane modern-day settings with romance that an historical whose romance is very slow burn might have been a hard sell. Shoujo might have fit, but I suspect there weren't enough flowers, sighs, and bishounen. (Saiunkoku Monogatari, which is the most similar other series I can think of, has a much higher number of pretty young men in the cast and was published as shoujo.)
So it might have ended up seinen by default.
The last part (or two parts?) of the Vampire Princess Miyu OAV when I first saw it ~30 years ago. Of course, it probably didn't help that I was watching it at weird o'clock in the morning.
I knew that Amazon order with the catnip toys went missing for a reason!
The site formerly known as Twitter would be more respectable these days if it were a porn site.
If so, it's a fitting way for them to die.
The cause of Sophie's APD diagnosis is unknown, but her audiologist believes the overuse of noise-cancelling headphones, which Sophie wears for up to five hours a day, could have a part to play.
Other audiologists agree, saying more research is needed into the potential effects of their prolonged use.
That looks to me like, "audiologists have no bloody clue where this issue is coming from, and are therefore throwing shit at the wall in the hope that something will stick."
We've known this was coming for a while now . . . but I suppose not everyone reads tech news.
Would everyone who is surprised by this please raise your hand? . . . That's what I thought.
Some of the existing countertariffs are targeted specifically at the southern states (thus oranges, sugar, tobacco, and such) who tend to be more likely to vote Republican. The idea was originally less "strike out against everyone in the US even if they didn't want this" and more "hurt the people who caused this mess". How well that's worked in practice is difficult to say.
