Silinde

It really is. I've been recommending it to anyone that can handle its heavy content. I didn't realise the final episode's promo was designed to join the two manga covers though. That really is peak.

Anime is Takopii's Original Sin.

Wow, so this is still on the slate for 2025 I guess? I'd seen so little on it that I expected it to be pushed back.

Something or someone that has been denounced by an authority, usually with a religious context. Since every Revenant elite specialisation is named according to the legend tied to it, I considered a specific character that was a villain who I thought would be really interesting to channel the powers of:

Oh nice, I haven't heard anyone suggest the fire-fox-rabbit could be for Guardian. I wonder what we could call that? If the virtues are linked to different creatures, Menagerist could be something.

I'm going for some more unusual picks. I'd prefer the lute to be on Mesmer, but that throws everything else out, and I really want that swirly icon to represent Dervish, which has to be on Elementalist IMO.

Is this from a new trailer?

I can't imagine the data would even be readable after all this time. Hard Drives ain't built to survive being in a tip for a decade, so the odds that water, corrosive liquid and gas got in there is pretty high. That layer that actually holds the data on the platter is incredibly delicate of course, so I wouldn't hold any hope that the platter could even be removed and read. Must be terrible to have to get up for work every day knowing what slipped through your fingers.

Gainax may have ruined Christmas, but Trigger saved it.

After around 16,000 hours, I've found WoW to be a lot more fun playing with others than just restricting myself to open world and full-PUG content. The last expansion was decent (story was a bit meh, but gameplay was great) and the current expansion has been okay so far. I just hope they can get balancing right on events going forward, since it's getting tiring seeing them create a massive artificial grind then walk back on it a week or two later.

After playing for 2000 hours, this one is an easy recommendation from me, too. The game was quite light on endgame content at release, but due to the design of the game, now the vast majority of the game occurs at 'endgame' and can be very fun. I love how I can come back after a couple of years, buy access to any content I missed in the meantime and have a character that doesn't need to grind levels or gear, just jump straight into story mode and get caught up on the story. Even better when you don't have to worry about making your playtime feel like it needs to be 'worth it', since you don't need to pay monthly to play.

Exactly the issue I had on my laptop. Plug in an external display to extend the desktop and the laptop screen turns off. Wasted 6 hours of my life trying to get the damn thing to work properly until I gave up.

It comes from the publishers in the 90s. They needed an easy way to tell stores/distributors how popular they thought each of their games would be, to help them decide how many of a certain title the distributor should order. The games expected to be GotY contenders would be marked AAA, AA for otherwise decent games, A for more niche games and B for "this is a starshot, we're hoping it will sell enough to justify production costs". That then lead to more and more games being marked as AAA due to budgets getting increased, and the whole system became a bit redundant.
