Someone call a medic for @vantt1, his brains keep getting blowed up.
Don't worry, he's in good hands.

I am enjoying the hell out of Date a Live...man I'm late to the party.
There's a Season 3 which I've yet to watch, and Season 4 is just around the corner!
We can only wish......
This thread came close several years ago, both before and after the transition to XenForo. I fondly remember using the little reputation button textbox thing as a makeshift AAMML thread.

And a movie, and a split off movie/ova for Kurumi.
I’ve watched Mayuri Judgement and Kurumi Star Festival, can’t say I remember what happened in them though. Date to Date was the 13th ep/OVA and there’s also a 2020 spinoff “double feature”, Date A Bullet.

I recently got an Apple Pencil...I thought what the hell, I already have an iPad Air so why not learn how to draw lewds. Definitely not out of frustration on how there aren't enough dakimakura covers of my waifus.

The experience just blew my mind. My only other memory of using a stylus was those crappy PDA styluses ahahah. The latency is low (and doesn't matter most of the time anyway), the pressure sensitivity and tilt support was immediately intuitive to a complete beginner. I haven't drawn or held a pencil since art class in school...20 years ago?

And because I'm a boomer my neck started to hurt after doodling on the iPad after a few hours from bad posture/ergonomics. I then went and bought a Wacom Intuos Pro medium pen tablet. This was an expensive week, but at least after I buy some software on sale I won't have to spend any more for this new hobby. (as much as I'd like a Cintiq I don't think I can handle it ergonomically, and the iPad is enough for casual display tablet use)

Jammin’ to this on a set of Pioneer SE-MS7BT that was on clearance at JB

These headphones sound great, but they are waaaay too big and I personally I find them to have a poor fit. When worn "naturally", they leave a sizeable gap behind the ear because the ear cups don't swivel, and the ear pads aren't thick enough nor soft enough to form an adequate seal around the ear. Pioneer thought of this and tried to make up for it with the contoured ridge on the ear cup, but unless I wear the headphones such that the front of the pads cover most of my zygomatic arch, they leak sound in and out.

I also hate how the volume buttons' primary function is actually next/prev track and not volume control. It makes no sense. Why would I want to rapidly increment through my "up next" list? Pressing and holding a button to increase volume is also unnerving. It's quite difficult to precisely control the volume level this way.

Edit: forgot to add this picture of the contoured ridge. They tried!

As you can see from the teardown, Pioneer could have greatly improved the ergonomics by stacking the PCB behind the speaker enclosure as opposed to in-line with it. Or, do what Beats does and have individual discrete PCBs for the USB charging port and headphone jack.
