Off Topic Discussion Megathread

Wasn't hyped about Valkyrie Elysium before, but now I am. The JP trailer shows off a lot of combo actions, what looks to be the classic "triangle formation" attack chain from previous VP games, and looks heavily skill based. Also, the Digital Deluxe version for PS4/PS5 comes with Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth! Only one thing to celebrate this win with.

I saw that trailer too and it looked A LOT better than the first, it definitely did get me at least a little interested.

I'm kinda psyched that Type Moon is actually officially translating Mahoyo (Witch on the Holy Night)

Its before Tsukihime (remake and OG), so I hope this means that we might get an official translation of Tsukihime A piece of blue glass moon and The other side of red garden.

Cause Red Garden not only will have Best Maid route but also a new route for best Dead Apostle.

Hmm..
I saw the new Berserk chapter, haven't read it yet tho.
The art is VERY clearly not Miura, it's not bad but it definitely stands out.

I mean I expected it to kinda be the case so I am not too surprised it does feel a bit weird tho.
I still want to see it end and be finished but it kinda looks a bit like fanart lol.
The drawings of monsters especially I think is what stood out to me the most ( it was only one but still ).
Especially since Miura really excelled in drawing monsters and background, I am a bit worried they'll be too underwhelming.

Even back in the earliest chapters when his drawings of people were kinda meh his backgrounds were still really really good.
I just hope they don't rush that stuff and take their time with it.

On the topic of Miura... apparently Kazuki Takahashi passed away as result of an accident. Very sad about that, his work greatly impacted my childhood. Used to sit on the school's playground playing Yu-Gi-Oh or enacting anime scenes during elementary school.

I was saddened to see the news of it as well. Was found off Okinawa snorkeling at that. A reminder to never swim or dive by yourselves people, the water is an unforgiving element.

The worst is when someone doesn't die of old age. Talk about a raincloud over my day now. Like Ryu said, safety practices are there for a reason.

:/ So like, gerrymandering is about to probably become a real problem in the US. Nice to know our democracy is slipping away even faster now!

I'm totally packing my bags once I'm done with college.

Gerrymandering has always been a thing in the US or any democratic system because any political party would want to influence the outcome of the election in their favour but if you want to live in a country without gerrymandering could move to the PRC since they're have one party.

Today, it was announced that Kazuki Takahashi, creator of the card game "Yu-Gi-Oh!" was found dead in the sea off the coast of Japan’s Okinawa Island. The game was a pretty big part of my childhood, despite having never attended a local tournament. I used to buy the cards and olay it with friends and family. My favorite anime series the first one and Yu-Gi-Oh 5ds. Up to this day, my favorite thing above all else about it is the lore, sometimes explained in Duel Terminal, sometimes, players have to piece it by themselves (like the Albaz/Despia storyline) just from the card artwork.

If anyone's ever dabbled in it or is curious, there's the official simulator named Master Duel. On the unofficial side of things, Yugioh Omega is hosting a format that exclusively only allows cards created by Kazuki Takahashi.

End of turn.

I'm hoping Master Duel does something like this too. Its a sad day. The game has came so far and his legacy will live on.

But also as important, I want to parrot this.
