Game prices in general have been a point of contention for quite some time. I remember when they started becoming available on discs instead of cartridges. It was believed the price would come down, since you were buying software instead of hardware. The price didn't go down. Now we have these highly complicated things that cost Millions upon millions of dollars to make each, and everyone is just used to paying absurd prices for a game. Yes, the price does come down eventually, but people want to play the games when they come out. When all the hype is there, and you're excited to play the game, instead of later when you can afford it.

I think I'm up to date on the anime. I know I've watched the conclusion of the fight between all might and his rival many times. Such a powerful episode.

That point when your day is bad enough to make you long for your villain character.

I can't stop watching the show. It is sooooooo damn GOOD! I keep tearing up- but not because I'm sad. It evokes such raw emotion that I am hooked with each episode. It either is that powerful, or is the buildup for another feeling like that. Izuku's hero moments are incredible. What All Might did in the latest one was so incredibly touching. I just can't get over how much I love this thing.

Incidentally, Not a fan of Super Smash Bros. Perhaps because the last nintendo product I had other than my barely used Wii was the NES. Yes. that old thing. I've been too deep in the Playstation world for too long, and their attempt at the Smash format was lackluster.

I'm actually powering my way through the English dub with my older daughter. I'm surprised at how good it is, but find myself preferring the subtitled version. We'll see when we reach the end of Stain's story arc. Season 3 isn't dubbed yet, so if she wants to keep going, we will have to move to subbed.

And Izuku's mom is dubbed the Cinnamom. A precious cinnamon bun too pure for this world and among anime's best moms. Standing up to All Might and the alienation from her only son to do what is right for him. Such greatness in writing!!!!

Hello all, I'm new to the guild nice to meet you all!

A pleasure. I'm always happy to see new people come in. We may not be as active as we once were, but those that are here are always friendly. I hope you enjoy your time here.

Ah, yes. The catch is that I don't have funimation, only crunchyroll and hulu. They work. When I tried contacting/using funimation it did not go well. I'm in no hurry to actually give them money.

Did you see MatPat diss the show? I found myself getting defensive. Guess I'm a real fan. sweatdrop

I had heard of it, and in fact considered getting it. I have no real interest in 6 of the 8 bundled services. Only Crunchyroll and Funimation had my attention. The catch being that I wanted to see what the latter was like as I enjoy the former's free services. Crunchyroll makes me wait a week or two to see new stuff, and that is actually a fair trade off. I won't see it brand new, but as one of my favorite shows said

Brooklyn from Gargoyles

I know something (most) don't. Something that only comes with age. I know how to wait.

Such brings me to how I went to Funimation and signed up for a free account. Trust me, there were things in their library like Summer Wars that I was excited to see! But . . . everything I was interested in was locked behind the paywall permanently. There was no rhyme or reason behind it. Anything worthwhile was locked away. I even found them on Facebook and messaged them to ask. "Is there any way to determine what is free, and what is paid?" That way I knew how to search for things that could be seen. Despite asking several times, no response. That left a sour taste in my mouth.

So I am aware of VRV, but won't likely use it. I'm too patient with Crunchyroll, and too concerned with Funimation.

Matpat isn't my favorite personality, but his theories are about 60/40 interesting. A better than half chance that I will enjoy the content. everybody will run out of groundbreaking ideas sooner or later, and I can enjoy him without being a rabid fan. For instance, I really don't care about how much sweat Bakugou was producing. Like, at all. Of all the interesting theories he could have come up with, that was lame as hell. He really doesn't do the work any longer? Hmmm. Odd. I would have thought he put some effort in still. That's rather sad. A scientist for nerddom devolved into a figurehead and mouthpiece.

The summer does seem to be a rather unbearable one, ne? I am thankful for whatever tolerance my latent Texan genes seems to be giving me. Despite never going outside unless i have to, I can deal. We have a lot of moisture here, as well. With the creek nearby my house we are likely close to 100%, making this area incredibly weak to the scale of temperature and moisture. Cold begets fog and clamminess. heat begets mugginess and thick air. I'm uncomfortable, but those around me appear to be suffering far worse than me. Today in my kitchen/work, the temperature was reading 79 degrees. I was hot, but dealing. Only when hustling did I really start to sweat.

This is only July 1st. I dread what mid-to-late August has in store for us.
