Hardest I’ve played: BW2 on Hard difficulty (why they didn’t make it a standard option in all subsequent installments is a mystery to me) Easiest: Alpha Sapphire and Omega Ruby. Literally almost impossible to lose, even when doing Nuzlockes.

Yes, that’s the author I was talking about. You could check out The Alchemist, his most famous novel.

Coelho? My only fear is that you might consider it a bit shallow.

I’m from Italy as well. I always like to remember a quote from Charles Mingus, who at some point in his career had an entire black band with the exception of his sax player, Charlie Mariano. When asked about it, he answered something along of the lines of “He’s not white, he’s Italian.”

Sauro my beloved

It wasn’t that dry to the touch, actually! I was out on an excursion for a mycology class and one of the teachers identified it. Apparently it’s a native species around here

Shivers [Impossible]: Success.

Ehhh, while it’s true that some vids nowadays have captions, this isn’t always the case. Plus, consider that a lot of content on the internet isn’t necessarily in the language Kids think in (when they don’t come from anglo-speaking countries). And, once again anecdotal experience but I have to factor that in, “digital natives” don’t seem to communicate in written form as much as we do. Blame voice messages, I guess.

Of course I don’t think manga is bad, literature Is literature after all. As I said, it’s just that the interest in the material Is filtered through an appreciation of formerly consumed visual media, and even then It remains “an interest”, rather than something they actively look for. Monetary factors have also to be looked in: not every country can afford to print out Shonen Jump.

As a teacher in lower secondary school, kids don’t do any of that. They read physical media sporadically, and the main kind of digital media they consume is through IG and TikTok, furtherly filtered by the algorithm to appeal to their interest. The only kind of excitement I see in their eyes when talking reading is when talking manga, but even then it’s mostly because they got there through anime (dubbed, so not even with subs) first. Kids don’t read half as often as we did twenty years ago, and teachers get the blame for trying to push some sense in them through lecture.

Please do yourself a favor and read the original graphic novel this slop Is based upon. McGuire’s Here is stunning, innovative, incredible and imaginative. Which makes me even mas when thinking it’s being turned into a movie.

Luigi / Duck Hunt. What the hell does that mean?

I believe it’s either The Blues Brothers or 2001.

Durov has been blacklisted in Russia because he refused to cooperate with Putin’s government on several occasions.

I’m the groom!

The “white” tie actually has a small deep blue pattern in it, the photo really doesn’t make it justice (but I’m still open for changing things up). I tried some double breasted but none of the models I tried on felt “right”; and yeah of course I’m going to try to fix up some of the hair ahahahah

I believe it’s quite obvious that Girona can’t operate at the same kind of level that Man City does, even if they belong to the same state fund. Market just opened up, I wouldn’t be surprised if they placed some interesting transfers aimed at generating income for the team while consolidating the identity of the squad. Plus, Savio leaving for Man City is quite a telling sign of this behaviour, imho.

not really; 30 minutes of decent football (which is kind of expected considering the quality Southgate had available) and nothing more.

I wouldn’t say he’s been a disappointment. His role as a striker has always been more akin to what he’s shown in this tournament than what some might expect of him, and especially with this team you could predict that his playing time would mostly be spent on refining offensive possession rather than scoring.

in defense of Matt and Trey, they did apologize on the ManBearPig thing. And it’s not like their depiction of Trump is very flattering, either…
