1) Taiko??? no Tatsujin Rhythmic Adventure Pack #1 2) Final ?Fantasy?? ???V 3) Chasm 4) Cosmic Star Heroine 5) Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker 6) Final Fantasy V (again) Finished off my Four Job Fiesta run last night. I had to lean pretty heavily on GilToss to get through it, but I got past Neo Exdeath without too much trouble on the second try without having to do any grinding beforehand. Before the Fiesta wraps up, I'll do another run or two for funsies. This run was all physical attacking jobs, so my next one will be focused on magic-casting jobs. I have also been chipping away at Doom (original) on Switch, a level here and a level there... I should get back on that soon.

I'm not a huge football fan, but I like to tune in for the big tournaments. I don't really know who's who when it comes to the players, aside from the super duper big names. Don't know which teams are supposed to be the strongest, who is the favourite to win, etc. I just want to watch some good games. Turkey vs. Italy is up on the TV now while I halfheartedly pretend like I'm still working. The Euro is going to be a nice distraction over the next few weeks, because I'm still working from home most days. Who else is watching? Who are you cheering for? etc.

I still didn’t check out Hunter’s Guild… keep forgetting Maybe tonight. Yeah, after an up-and-down start, I think The Elusive Samurai has been quite good lately. I’m enjoying it. YMMV of course, but it won’t take long to read 24 chapters to get current, so I’d recommend giving it another look.

It sucks going to penalties, but I think Italy played better most of the match. I’m gonna have a Peroni now

# 49 — poor Yor The Director is quite the badass though for an old dude

The Elusive Samurai # 24 — an interesting look into the supernatural side of what’s going on in this story Dr. Stone #204 — new character alert!!! Interesting twist at the end too. I’m curious to see how things play out next week. Candy Flurry # 12 — this is getting exciting (poor Misaki though )

I found it very relaxing and I’m a sucker for this kind story. The first episode reminded me a bit of Sakura Quest, which I also really enjoyed.

I think Aquatope is going to be a winner

Yeah the FLCL soundtrack is just one hit after another. I love the pillows. Fantastic use of music throughout all 6 episodes. Like I said in a previous post, it still holds up after all these years. Every time I rewatch it, it feels like the first time all over again. So good. An all-time favourite for me.

There were a few good moments in Dragon Maid episode, but I’m not crazy about the new dragon

Doooo iiiiiiittt! I'm nearing the end of my run. Haven't had much time lately to play I pretty much just gotta beat Exdeath and I'm done, but I need to grind out a few levels first as my team won't be able to survive an Almagest.

I'll probably cheer for England today and in the final if they make it there, just 'cause they've never won it before, but I think any outcome will be satisfying as long as the final match is good. I was kinda surprised to see Italy has only won the Euro once. Denmark has also won it once. Germany and Spain have the most Euro wins (3 each) so, for the sake of variety, I'm happy neither of those countries are in the final.

Kinda feels like this is Italy’s tournament to lose now. Crummy ending to the match today. Going to penalties isn’t fun.

I’m not really waiting for anything. Just plain happy with what I’ve got. I hope there are people out there that are hyped for the thing though. Maybe that new screen is really nice.

I’m happy with the Switch I’ve got

Dr. Stone # 203 Kind of a weird chapter of Candy Flurry this week, but they’ve set up something big for next week There was a lot going on in that second chapter of Choujin X! Pretty random. But there was some amusing stuff. I’m curious to read more.

Is there an official source for the manga online, on any of the subscription services..? Or did you read fan translations? Despite the bad ending to the anime, I’m still a bit curious to read the manga…

The last episode of Shadows House was pretty bad.

Yeah it’s a bummer.

Yeah you’re dumb Mariners really ruined Canada Day The Jays bounced back quick though and have won two in a row against the Rays. Nothing is more satisfying than beating those damn Rays.

I was pretty bummed for Switzerland yesterday Tough way to go out. Italy vs. Spain should be an exciting match. I kind of expecting the winner of that match will go on to win the tournament, but you never know what will happen.

Started watching FLCL again tonight. It still holds up. For me, this is basically the pinnacle of anime. I can’t remember how many times I’ve watched it now, but it’s been a few years since my last rewatch. I also haven’t listened to the pillows much in a while either. Everything about it is just killing me right now It don’t get better than this. I am still hesitant to watch FLCL Progressive or Alternative, but perhaps I will take the plunge into those after I finish the O.G. FLCL

I didn’t get to watch much of those matches, but I wish I would have seen Croatia vs. Spain. It is going to be dead at work tomorrow so I’m going to play the games in the background in my laptop, hopefully nobody cares or notices

Happy birthday MT. 40 is a milestone.
