I'm not proficient in talking about music but I feel that the use of the Mandalorian theme resembles very much the Fellowship theme from the Lord of the Rings movies. Especially the theme at the end of the season has some triumphant tones that could come from the "The Bridge of Khazad Dum" track.

adiwan

Yeah! The Mando will return in Autumn 2020!

adiwan

The ending of The Mandalorian was very satisfying. People who watched Clone Wars and Rebels will be amazed.

Preordering books that come out in a year is somewhat absurd and yet I did it.

Finally I watched the two Ranma ½ movies. Now I have seen every animated piece of content available.

adiwan

Dammit! The OG XBox cable I bought is garbage. The video signal is very noisy.

Gonna remove all Pony episodes off my laptop's harddrive. I copy it on an external HDD. I just need the space. 200GB is a bit much to keep around for nothing.

Bought my first game on the Epic Game store. Untitled Goose Game. They have a promotion that gives you 10 USD off the price.

I'm so happy that the new owners of my local cinema have the Star Wars film in English AND its showing is in the afternoon. Finally I can watch a film without falling half asleep. Also I can use public transportation.

My transformation into a weeaboo continues. I bought some Bandai Figuarts figures.

For over two weeks I work at another office and these people have the worst dishwasher discipline. Over that time I encountered dirty dishes mixed with clean ones. Also these people put their dirty stuff into the sink even when there is plenty(!) space in the dishwasher. I've 3d printed a sign in the hopes that can be reduced https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3890131

I'm through all Ranma ½ OVAs, including the one from 2008. The 2008 one is very strange animation-wise. Due to the more "modern" art style and smoother animation it looks plainly wrong. Also the animation timing and framing is stylistically worse in my opinion. The only content I'm missing are the two films and I've just ordered them. Soon I'll be free from the compulsive urge to consume everything from that darn series.

I have the urge to acquire expensive collectible and poseable figures of Japanese cartoon characters.

Binged through 161 episodes of Ranma ½. Only the 12 OVA are left. My head is all mushy. So far I can only say that there are a lot of episodes that are faithful to the manga, however there are also plenty stories with hacked-up plots spread over multiple episodes sprinkled over multiple seasons. Of course there are also not an insignificant number of original stories. These leaned more to the bad side, but a few were quite good. Over all I prefer the manga. The manga was tighter in the presentation and the jokes hit better because of that.

OK... I'm hit by reality. In order to fully utilize the AMD Ryzen 9 3950x I need to buy a motherboard that is well in the range of 400€+ because the motherboard power regulation often heat up so much that the CPU throttles. I take down a notch in my plans and get less ambitious in the CPU department. I rather want to upgrade more often than blasting all my earnings for the best. A 3900x will be sufficient enough! HAHAHA.

Black-grey wallpapers look great on any device. A cleaned-up scan from a manga has some class. http://rainbowdash.net/attachment/875384

adiwan

Welp. The CPU is helplessly out of stock with no guarantee when it'll be restocked.

adiwan

Haha! I get a 1000€ end of year bonus! My PC upgrade will be sooner than anticipated, with better components than firstly compiled.

adiwan

Using MacBooks is torture. Only morons can design these backwards keyboards and touchpads. Also dongles. I have to use one at work for a short assignment.

Half-way through animu.

Working for an IT company and the network is down. Everybody use their company phones as hotspots.

I hate it when there is a lack of subtitles for almost half a minute on a paid DVD, especially when I don't understand the spoken language (Japanese). Good thing I read the book and I can decipher some information from the context. The DVDs were "cheap" at least. If I bought a newer version on Blu Ray I'd cost me 7 times as much.

I'm configuring my new computer back and forth on several shop websites and I'm always getting easily up to 2000€. Essentially I cannot recycle most of my components. HDDs, DVD drive only. My last configuration was an AMD 3700x, 64GB DDR4-3200, 1TB m.2 SSD, NVidia 2800 super, mainboard, 800W power supply, case. I need a new case because my current has only usb2 ports at the front and I'd like to have something better. Other than that it has some serious scratches from over 14 years of use as well as an unsightly opening on the side panel when these CPU "tubes" were in fashion for directly venting the hot CPU air out. This was never used because my cooler was not shaped in the way to benefit from that.
