ないない - ReoNa (2021)

Spotify helped me find ReoNa and she's become my latest J-Pop obsession. Started with Nai Nai which I highly recommend.

ANIMA - ReoNa (2020)

Also, I love THE FIRST TAKE and it turns out she was on there last year performing ANIMA, another banger.

@wemibelle: Quite like something about both the Fami and Capsule songs - I'll have to check out some of their other work. Do you have any recommendations for older Capsule songs you liked?

While I agree that taking Gloomhaven anywhere sounds like an absolute nightmare, I can at least confirm that there are very good Tabletop Simulator mods for Gloomhaven that my group have used to carry on from where we left off physically since the pandemic started last year.

The DualSense design is an ergonomic disaster. The grips get thinner as you get to the bottom of them so your hands slide down the controller as you're holding it giving you hand cramp. The face buttons are inexplicably not flat (look at your DualSense with your eyes in line with the face of it, you will see that the Circle button doesn't actually fit on the controller and they had to slope it downwards to get it to fit on - the X button has the same problem but on the opposite axis). The triggers proving resistance and vibration also just increase the effort you have to put in to using it. And to top it all off all the stuff they had to jam in it to make the haptics work means it weighs a ton.

Custard cream is the real one

One and done.

Crunch Creams are just a poor man's Custard Cream. Rich Teas (especially the finger variety) don't get the respect they deserve. And I'll always eat a Party Ring if offered.

If I'm baking them myself I'm partial to some shortbread (coated in sugar), but I've recently learned how to make my own Custard Creams and being able to double-stuff them with custard flavoured buttercream is on another level.

Brad's leaving... :(

It's no longer a meme 😭

Lockdown has left me 4 months behind on the podcasts for the first time since I started following the site, but I've had to break my rule of listening to them in order today to join the chat. I've been premium for about 10 years and the podcasts with these three duders have been a massive part of my life in that time. All I can really say is thanks for the memories!

Thanks for the heads up on this, Vivy looks really intriguing.

I had my eye on "To Your Eternity" as well, but I like to wait for things to finish airing before starting them (waiting on Fruits Basket: The Final for the same reason!)

Had a bad feeling about this one from the early footage they showed :( shame it didn't work out as I feel the lore of MTG could be adapted into other genres in really cool ways.

For anyone picking up Rise and looking for duders to hunt with, the Giant Bomb Monster Hunter Community Discord server is still up and running, and you are welcome to join by clicking here: https://discord.gg/8MSQUYg

It's gotten pretty quiet since the excitement around World tapered off but I thought I'd share the link again in case people wanna have a place to gather for Rise.

Happy hunting!
