  1. Yeah it's called move your pointer finger to the right half a centimetre and click your scroll wheel in.
  2. You mean their culture? D&D inspired some early video game in Japan. The game also is what made Kobolds into dog/wolf type monsters and Orcs into pig monsters instead of the lizard/dragon and green humanoids that they are in D&D. Though I think it's more used just because to the Japanese Medieval Europe settings are the most foreign to them and a way for the character to stand out. Also they have odd power fantasy reasons. Like a middle school kid that wasn't even captain of the kendo team; being the greatest swordsman in all of Europe simply because of muh Bushido superior 10k folded nippon steel katana samurai. pic not isekai but it happens to lesser extents in other isekai. The hero eventually gets a katana and it's just a game changer on stylin on barbaric knight scrubs. Also they'll either be way too cool and serious all the time, or just a super nice guy that gets into serious fedora mode when they see elderly, women, or children being harmed or disrespected. Then there are series like Soul Eater/Fire Force where I think the mangaka is a King Arthur otaku. The insert of Knights and Excalibur etc I think might be self referential humor. The characters used are kinda humor characters, but at the same time they're possibly the strongest characters in each series if their conditions are met. Hell if Arthur Boyle from FF and Excalibur from SE joined forces it would probably result in an unstoppable character, because Arthur would without a doubt follow all of Excalibur's conditions happily.
  3. They've known but they just don't care. Like Cartoon Network it's more about profit than it is about quality.
  4. I just remember watching that for the first time along with Soul Eater's dub around the same time.
  5. For the most part I'd agree with that. There could be more done in a medieval setting, but studios I think are more looking for the most generic cookie cutter shit they can find for it. I think we're going to have at least a few more years of reinvented isekai stuff before studios move onto the next big thing. I think we might see a return of mid late 2000s romcoms. Welcome to Demon School Iruma-Kun just gives me flashbacks to 2008 era anime. So we might just end up with a short period of anime being produced that mimic older styles to try and see if anything is resonating with people. Teens and Young adults though really like isekai. We're also going to be going through an era of Isekai edge shortly. I have read a few Isekai series that are edge as fuck and I know one got a greenlight. The other one I think will get an anime in time.
  6. That's kinda 90% of all anime. Most shows are wish fulfillment or power fantasies. Hell it's depressing when you think about how many anime focus on having friends because making friends is the real fantasy. Harems would be good if they actually did a harem. A love triangle (regardless of the number of girls) with only one girl winning is a shit harem in my book. moe blob and cute girls doing cute things ie the Seinfeld of anime were all pretty bad though. They can be good when mixed into other types of series. Like School Live starts out as this slice of life moe blob cute girls doing cute things series. Then suddenly you realize that the main girl is delusional and living in a hellscape filled with zombies, and her friends are just playing along to keep her from having a mental breakdown. As for Isekai I'd say at least give Konosuba a shot as it mostly makes fun of Isekai series and is self aware. Overlord is kinda a reverse Isekai. The MC pretty much gets .hack/SAO'd into a game as his avatar and is pretty much the new demon lord. The difference is that in other series that have someone become a demon lord, they try and be good and humane. Ainz only cares about being good to the NPC characters that his guildmates made though. He is fine with murdering the humans of that world. The LN makes him a lot more darker than the anime does though. Like his one servant has a happy fun farm that he uses for harvesting human flesh to use to make scrolls. He even has two families starving kills their kids then feeds them to the other family in the same room so they can watch their kid being eaten. Though everyone made fun of him for being such a nice guy and not just having them eat their own kids. Ainz is just like whatever about it. The most humane thing he does is request that the women and children be killed when they abducted the majority of a city. Also the breeding experiments that are done to find race compatibility, and the guardians want to find a way for their dickless overlord to have children.
  7. It aired in Nov 2002...I mean there was a thing that happened 14 months prior that caused a lot of people to suddenly become overly patriotic. Damn that was 17 years 8 months ago that Gi Joe aired on toonami. I should try asking around and see if I can find any info on that, if anyone even still remembers. More likely than not it was over pricing. Anime used to be super cheap for companies to pick up. When it started blowing up with the anime bubble around 2005 Funi was probably demanding higher prices. The only reason they got even the HunterxHunter remake was because it has a large fanbase. It could be thought that it's because of Syfy that we didn't get some series on AS/T. Though Monster took like 5 years to get a dub, and I think only got one because Syfy paid for it. Gurren Lagann was in an odd spot at the time. It had been on Netflix for a while. Adult Swim wasn't a fan of sloppy seconds for anime. I think it's also why they were against getting Soul Eater because it was in the same boat as Gurren Lagann. It was on Netflix which is where a majority of people who watch dubbed anime at the time had seen it already. Now they often put in deals where some shows can't even be updated to Funimations streaming service until they first air on Toonami. The Demon Slayer dub was postponed from being put on funimation now until the whole season finished. Which tells me that Toonami had actually had interest in that show for a long time, as funimation usually would have simul dubbed that series.
  8. Smoked these at 250 for 3hrs. Used charcoal as the main heat then had a few blocks of apple wood for the smoke.
  9. Okay have my WSM together now. Had to go to the home depot because they were missing half the washers. At least this one remembered my cover for it.
  10. Yeah western PA on average beats Florida in humidity. I often tell people I know to shut their whore mouths when they go down to Florida then say it's so much less humid here. It's not I've looked at the weather; you're all fucking insane and have some sort of placebo thing going on. If anything it would be less humid since they were at a beach than in the dead of the everglades. Still 80+ humidity anywhere sucks. Pit placement is kinda what I've been having issues figuring out. Some spots can get rather marshy with all the humidity and rain, then other spaces I don't want to clutter up in case we need to get trucks in the yard for moving stuff around. I could set it out like an acre away from the house, but unless we're eating by the pit it's a chore to carry large plates of meat back and forth. If you have a wood stove I'd say go for it. Should work better than many other fire boxes at keeping heat, and they have easy to remove ash trays. I have a pot belly one in the yard but It's too small.
  11. If you have the cash I say go for it. Spousal abuse is temporary, the glory of a good smoke is eternal. As for pellet grills if you have a good setup I'd advise against them. Really though it depends on your weather. The pellet fuel just absorbs humidity. I even tarp my Treager and just from the thick humidity in the air it will turn the pellets to sawdust. Then you have to take the whole thing apart to clean out the hopper and auger. What I should have done yesterday was mod my treager to take tabs instead of screws, because they're a pain to fuck with. If you live in a dry area though this really isn't going to be a problem. As for cooking I'll have to let you know how it does with the new control module when I cook with it. This one has a lot more temp settings. The old controller only had smoke/med/high. This one has the actual temps written on it and a digital temp read. Though I bought my Treager new years back for like $200. I couldn't justify the $700 a similar sized model goes for now; and it's one of the small models. I was thinking about looking for an old wood stove to use as a fire box like pic related. Then building a brick pit and a wood vertical smoker. Just have a split pipe with a plate to control which one would be getting the draft.
