Could be worse, the last manga I read was Chainsaw Man.

I did like the nod to this Anime in the CUL questline.

Game streaming does have a future, as others have pointed out, it just needs more infrastructure, and to be fair the whole stadia thing is part of something bigger that's going on between Google, Microsoft, and Amazon. There is a kind of tech-power struggle going on currently, and google just happens to be the one being pushed around right now.

The problem with game streaming is, that it has propably not so many potential customers. The casual gamers, who do not want a PC/PS5/Xbox can play browser games for free. They only need a smartphone and that's it. They do not need to buy the games and pay 10 bucks per month on top of it. And the non-casual-gamers will propably buy a PC/PS5/Xbox because of better latency, better image quality, tuning options etc. The only customers i see are people who do not want to play browser games and also do not want to buy a (new) PC/PS5/Xbox. But i highly doubt, that there are many of them.

You have two somehow successful game streaming services with Geforce Now and Xbox cloud gaming. But this are not the main products of both companies. The Xbox Cloud Gaming is a side project, the main product is still the console. But you can have the option to play your Xbox console games in the cloud on a differeent device. And this is completely different what Google did.

G Gundam. I'm totally for it.

Oh hell yeah. I just got my order in for the Real Grade God Gundam kit and I'm thinking I need a rewatch while I build it.

And now the entire opening theme is stuck in my head. Not that it's a bad thing, considering how awesome it is.

Watched the first episode of Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury. It's worth watching, and is a massive breath of fresh air, especially if you watch the Prologue before the episode. Everything about it is really good, and the opening theme is an absolute banger.
