I think this would be fun to talk about. Anime where you didn't get into, dropped it for whatever reason, then gave it another chance and it actually clicked. I think this is fun, because it is frustrating to try to get into an anime and it just doesn't work out, especially if you can tell why it is beloved.

For me that anime was Ascendance of a Bookworm. I first watched it when it was airing and at some point in that first season I just stopped because outside of the main character, I just found it a bit dull. I don't think that's even the most unreasonable opinion, like the production's not amazing and the characters are not the most immediately engaging personalities in anime history. An

I did this thread last year, thought it was a fun bit of positivity. So what match or matches from last year did you like more than most did? It could be a match people didn't like but you did, or a match you loved other people merely liked or a match people were super into but you at least think you're the only one who'd say its match of the year. Anything like that.

For me, its Takeshita vs. Ishii at Wrestledynasty. I'm not nearly enough of a New Japan watcher to be an Ishii stan, he's cool but I've not followed his career that closely, but something about that match was a joy to watch. A delight, truly peak, hard hitting Japanese wrestling. Actually got way more into than even Kidd vs. O

I'm mildly fascinated by how AEW has been specifically this year. Like other years, it kinda depends on where in the year it is, the first half of the year is rarely the same as the 2nd half of the year it feels like. Whereas this year, it feels like 2025 AEW has a specific identity.

To me it is mostly the year where AEW proved people wrong. And I include myself in that. Not only because it felt like every month or two, people were proven wrong about some major angle going in a seemingly questionable direction (the Ricochet humiliation tour and Christian's face turn with no character change being two obvious ones) and most negative assumptions would be disproven by the booking in the end. P

Standard thread idea I guess but what are the N64 games you've put the most time into?

I can be pretty confident my top 3 are Paper Mario, Star Fox 64 and OOT in that order. Paper Mario I've beaten 6 times, the last of which was 100% except for recipes. And they don't even include several incomplete playthroughs (one of which was right before the final chapter). And Star Fox 64 I've beaten like 60+ times, on top of some multiplayer, and while always short playthroughs, they more than add up. And then OOT is probably barely behind it across 4 playthroughs, which doesn't include when I'd aimlessly roam around my friend's save file for a good long while when the game was new.

After that, coul

Maybe if I paid as super close attention to the recent previews as some people, I'd get it, but like do people actually think NPC dialogue is gonna a large portion of the game? That its a defining aspect of this specific video game?

I'm genuinely mystified by people's overreactions to this, and I did not think I was even still capable of being shocked by the hyperbole of the internet. What do you think the other previews and trailers were about? Did you play Prime 3?

It doesn't even have anything to do with defending it, but like, I've seen various types of more substantial problems in games I like? Most games even? Like some of my favorite games even? Like....wha...I just really don't get

Even with the story they've been telling with Mox that made this the most obvious direction to go, I never would've guessed, EVER, that Kyle O'Reilly was going to tap out Jon Moxley. As beloved as Kyle is, he's felt so far below Mox on the card, that this genuinely feels like it came out of nowhere. I love it for that.

Also because they did a great job making me think Death Riders were getting their win back. Like I don't want to defend the more mediocre stuff they were doing earlier in the year, the same way I don't like how many beloved WWE moments came from expecting it to go in a bad direction because WWE would do that often and being pleasantly surprised. BUT there is still something t

I'm pretty curious about people's takes on this one. This is maybe the biggest contrast between my fondness for a game and its objective qualities, I guess. It is one of the early attempts at an action-adventure type game that came out on N64 arguably way too late and had clear audio and visual issues from porting it. It is a game where people who made it probably looked at how OOT did certain things and immediately went "...oh", and was considered already dated during the same generation it first released in because of the gap between its PS1 release and N64 port.

I love it. As someone who has now played all three of the PS1 games, including the original version of this one, it is one of m

So with Infinity Train in Infinity Hiatus, been at least excited to see Owen Dennis' next show. But...where is it? It was last shown off at Summer Games Fest last year and I've not heard a peep about it since.

Remember when Close Enough came out like ages after it was first shown? I'm reminded of that.

I just need to express how much I adore this series after this past season. I liked My Dress-Up Darling a lot during its first season, like most people did. It's very fun, funny, wholesome, looked super great, definitely some of the better fanservice in anime, for multiple reasons. Having the girl be into this sort of thing while the guy is awkward and embarrassed by her body is a I think generally a more fun direction to take this than the opposite. (though to be fair, they showed a seemingly fun example of that opposite at the start of this season)

But I felt this season was a clear improvement over even that. I just loved everything about it. I loved so much of the creative direction the

So I dunno wtf is going on but I was using a site 2 weeks ago because it had hard subs and then it didn't, and then literally 2 days ago I Found another one where it had unique options for the videos to specifically watch hard subs for the subbed anime videos and that option has immediately vanished.

What is going on? I've seen weird issues and changes happen on anime sites before, but this is becoming absurd.

I thought this was a fun enough story. So, while playing N64 on NSO, I had decided to beat Star Fox 64 on a whim, as I have done more than 50 times in my life I'm certain. But during the time I had, I beat the harder Star Wolf fight with zero deaths, yet kept dying on the true final boss, which I had never had that much trouble with in my life.

Went to bed, next day, loaded the save I had from when I stopped, beat it my first try. Cool. Went on to do what I had been doing lately, playing Banjo Kazooie one level per day, did that. But then on another whim, tried yet again to do the Mario Party 1 boo cycling control stick rotating minigame in that single player "play every minigame while on a

One of the things I feel the most nostalgic for from N64, especially since the majority of N64 games I grew up with I've already gone back to years after the fact, is the specific situation of when I used to check out save files that weren't mine. Either because it was a friend's copy or because it was a rental.

I only had NES before this, and because memory cards and the like became entirely the norm after this, this was the only generation I really experienced this. And because I was not great at most games at the time, I would often, usually after getting stuck, just check out other save files to see where they were.

For some reason, my first experience with Megaman 64 was checking out
