My #dog made his own Howleen costume.

He was running around pretending to be an anime delinquent with a lollipop sticking out of his mouth.

Somehow he even correctly unwrapped it...

Unfortunately, as a responsible pet owner, I didn't get a picture as I made him drop it.

I never thought I'd say this... But I think I now prefer working in the office instead of #WFH

J.R. Ledeir @ledeir.bsky.social · 1d

Well, I guess I'm glad they went with that approach.

I'm less glad about the fact I actually watched the whole thing.

Right now I'm torn between Jordan killing him or David killing himself.

This could be the no killer trope combined with the psychological break trope.

J.R. Ledeir @ledeir.bsky.social · 1d

Well, the first victim was certainly obvious.

So, will it be the missing friend trope? The lead is the villain trope? Or a standard jealousy trope?

J.R. Ledeir @ledeir.bsky.social · 1d

They are thoroughly emphasizing that David is a jerk.

They are also putting a lot of emphasis on Greg being upset.

And I can't remember the name of the mousy female lead...

Also I think they mentioned someone (Max?) who was missing....

Interesting music selection so far.
I'm 20 minutes in and not terribly impressed...
Probably because the setting and characters are not overly relatable...

Wow. A #horror movie ("Bodies Bodies Bodies") that explains why the car battery is dead.

Wow... A major candy company, even if I never heard of it, filing for bankruptcy the week before #Halloween.

My spouse is currently attempting to teach my preschooler Cartesian coordinates.

Aside from that comeuppance, the episode ended on a HORRIBLE point.

A Rube Goldberg device (however that's spelled) is simpler than Loki's plan...

And doesn't end on a pointless cliffhanger after battling through the ending credits.

It was very satisfying seeing the idiotic prince failing horribly in "The Banished Court Magician" #anime

Though of course he thinks it's a curse and not just that he sucks...

Today's #AWildLastBossAppeared #anime episode seemed to go by really fast... I wasn't ready for it to end!

Definitely frustrated I missed the #Gnosia sale on #steam.

#Anime #Crunchyroll

Curses... The #Gnosia sale ended...
Oh well, it's probably for the best.

J.R. Ledeir @ledeir.bsky.social · 6d

Caught up with the series.
I still appreciate it, but at the same time some aspects are already wearing on me...

J.R. Ledeir @ledeir.bsky.social · 6d

Of course it's reflective so I can't take a proper picture without photo bombing it

J.R. Ledeir @ledeir.bsky.social · 6d

3D puzzle bookend built!
And only 4 "extra" pieces.
And a little bit of tape.
But at least the light works!

A few weeks late, but I'm finally checking out "The Dark History of the Reincarnated Villainess" #anime

So far it had potential and it's a nice tweak to the typical "truck-kun" series.

Huh... I was going to login to my #twitter account to make sure it doesn't go inactive, but can't.

The website is complaining about privacy extensions.

J.R. Ledeir @ledeir.bsky.social · 9d

Someday I'll finally get around to watching it...

J.R. Ledeir @ledeir.bsky.social · 9d

Sigh... Every morning I get the same scam email trying to steal my #Facebook account...

J.R. Ledeir @ledeir.bsky.social · 9d

Really? The #Mariners had to lose the lead in the 7th?

*Cries*

#MLB

J.R. Ledeir @ledeir.bsky.social · 9d

I really don't remember much about the "My Status as an Assassin" series...

I guess I should reread it while watching the #anime

#Crunchyroll

So, is "A Gatherer's Adventure in Isekai" #anime just a slice of life series with OP MC?

Or do we get some overarching plot eventually?

I'm enjoying it, but at the same time I find it to be easily forgettable.
