7/10, it's good for what it is. I got it for the equivalent of USD86 and that included our 10% tax, I'm pretty chuffed with that considering a fifth of the cost is the 20W USB C charging brick which I can make use of. It's a touch mid bass or boomy stock (I didn't try the reduce bass option yet...

Y'all have like 15 minutes to veto my homepod mini purchase, kinda getting sick of listening to YouTube or podcasts through the iPad speakers when exercising (and I hate wearing earbuds and getting them all sweaty). Can't put a price on health riiiiiight if I make exercise more pleasant I'll do...

So I finished the OG Evangelion....man is nearly every character insufferable or what ahahah. Will move on to the sequels(?) later. Tearmoon was great. I finally joined the Apple Watch cult...it's fantastic lol. It helped that I got a used 45mm Series 7 Titanium for like ~USD240, it's really...

Thanks, chucked it on my watch list. Recently watched Love After World Domination, nice little happy show.

Yup, I'm a sucker for heroic sacrifices/last stands lol, it's the FGO player within me.

The YouTube algo suggested a short recommending some anime saying like "if you liked Plastic Memories blablabla then watch this", it was WorldEnd. Hmmmmmm was pretty good, what a nice little palette cleanser after consuming an unhealthy amount of trashy isekai.

I went the DIY route I could choose the drive (flash endurance) and potentially hand-me-down it for some random internal computer duty in the future. The enclosures are super cheap anyway, makes it easy to replace if I drop it and break the port or something. All I remember from Blood+ is the...

It's like I'm going through my nerdy teenage years all over again, what's next, Mirai Nikki? I might mix it up a bit and finally go through Oshi no Ko. Been a long time coming but I finally bought a 2TB SSD, the Crucial MX500. Yeah my timing sucks I could have saved like $30 if I bought it...

So I just rewatched School Days. I mean memes aside and I'm not saying this just to be a contrarian but uhhhh, it was definitely one of the anime of all time. What a bloody rollercoaster. Team Kotonoha until the day I die. The MC (Makoto) is truly unlikeable I swear. People say the MC of...

Oh that mahou shoujo abuse one is kinda yabai...the anime adaptation is solid. How do I know? Not like I binged the manga right after episode 2. Gahh having issues with a system wide parametric EQ in macOS. I might have to drop the 66 dollarydoos for SoundSource, I've been getting by with...

IIRC apart from the obvious loli stuff, the only other errr prohibited material was "school setting". I think I lost Twinbox's Teacher Teacher doujin to that rule, that one was $20 too I think. I did do a little bit of research but there just wasn't much info available online apart from shock...

Aussie border control only took like 7 titles (maybe 5 of which I already marked for destruction for being a bit too loli lol), quite surprised to be honest, I was expecting more. Yeah it was just like the TV show, an officer hauled boxes off to another room for a specialist to peruse ahahahah...

I bought ~14kg of doujins (30 freedom units), Comiket is complete madness I’ve never seen so many people in my life. Queues to get in the morning were 2-3 hours long. Managed to get iunno like 10 titles signed, half of them by girls lol, I think they made the effort to go themselves (plus a...

I'm staying in Akihabara so that's pretty close (1.5mi), will do, I'll likely cross it on my random photo walks barring any serious re-injury (might have sliiiiightly stress fractured my foot from running too much a couple months ago). So the last time I was in Japan was late 2011, I got the...

Going to Japan in errr...3-4 days. Will be at Comiket both days, if ya'll have any requests let me know. Please don't make me end up on an episode of Border Control, SFW or clearly "adult" NSFW OK, Australian Customs is very strict hahahaha. Sigh... stay with m43 or go full frame, new/used...

Rewatching School Rumble, it surprisingly holds up comedy wise lol. I think Yui Horie was one of my first voice actor crushes ahahah, this random insert song slaps hard.

Sort of excited to see the new SoC, the previous A16 was a bit of a letdown in terms of year over year upgrade, I guess TSMC is struggling a bit too. I'm using a 13 Pro Max so I'm set for another 5 years ahahahah. I'll miss the strong feel of the lightning connector for sure, USB-C always felt a...

Oh man 13+ years? That song came out in 2007. I only got into doujin music 2009-2010ish onwards. Now speaking of a blast from the past...Tsukihime remake English yay? (no PC though no yay?)

Helck was a surprise for me this season, superb voice work by the main girl (gives me Ristarte from the cautious hero vibes).

So I might be going to Japan at the end of the year. One of my besties is getting married (honeymoon in Japan) and it's been a lifelong dream of mine to re-enact this scene from the Dark Knight lol. Am I the type of person to drop 5 grand just to nod at someone in a cafe? Come hell or high...

New season, anything good? So the recent 6800XT upgrade re-ignited my enthusiasm for PC's. My 3770k is delidded now with Liquid Metal between the die and IHS, lapped it on a whetstone too. Before: 4.2GHz @ 100C After: 4.5GHz @ 68C (1.3V ish, just takes way more voltage to go up 100MHz it...

I have a hand-me-down Ryzen 3600 sitting unused, I don't want to buy a mobo/RAM though (250ish?) it doesn't seeeeem like enough of an upgrade for my use case. We're still totally not blood related siblings. Yay for Ryza.

Yeah it's noticeably louder than the MSI, but still usable with a mild undervolt. AMD seems to have pushed the 6800xt pretty hard, I did some quick and dirty testing. I think the 2200mhz mark is the sweet spot for me, 150W is pretty comparable to the old GTX 1070. I tried looking at a few...

I'm about 200 chapters into Domestic Girlfriend what a ride ahahah. Has to be one of my favourites now, it has a banger of an OP too. It's a nice contrast to other series where they spend a hundred episodes trying to confess and they're stuck in high school forever. Time moves at a reasonable...

Ahahah yeah I know what you mean. I don't know if I have some kind of inbuilt filter because I've walked through the valley of the shadow of death (20+ years watching anime orz), but tropey stuff doesn't bother me as long as the show itself is somewhat entertaining. I will happily ignore the...
