AHA is Dropout adjacent at this point

But that rule is only when using steam keys for distribution on other platforms no?

Ah that's sad to hear! Makes sense though.

so I'm hoping we'll actually get an anime-original ending for once

Yeah, not so much original, but an addition to it!

Got the final volume of My Dress-Up Darling last week. It's a decent final volume, but it feels a bit rushed and disjointed.

Still, I loved the overall manga a lot. My favourite arc is the Haniel arc. I think the mangaka did a stellar job portraying the haunting captivation the characters had for that fictional manga character and thus managed to captivate the reader too (at least for me). That's gonna be tough to adapt to anime.

I'll probably reread the entire manga soonish.

It's back!

I was wondering how the dragons were gonna look, but damn, that's a proper dragon. Doesn't seem too happy.

I haven't change the playlist in months, and I keep having to hit the download button, because one or more tracks is somehow no longer downloaded.

Ah yeah I have that too, but that doesn't seem to be for the same reason as you.

I wish their Android app had a legitimate offline mode.

This is my main gripe too, but you can set the playlist to only show and play your downloaded tracks.

What I do occassionally run into is that when I stream one thing on my PC and play a different offline playlist later (without having internet), then when my phone has a connection again, it starts playing whatever my PC was playing. Full offline mode would help here, but the real fix would being able to let my devices independently decide what they're playing rather than all devices being a hivemind once on internet.

I'd also still recommend them though. I have my gripes, but they're pretty minor overall. Being able to buy the music is also amazing.

Used to be a christian band

Cause I never listened to them for some reason

Disciple is probably more overt than Nine Lashes though, no?

DH I've gotten uncomfortable with since Exile.

Nah. There are a lot of bad Christian rock/metal bands, but there are quite a few good ones too.

To name some I still come back to, even though I no longer identify as a Christian:

• Skillet is an obvious one (not my thing anymore, especially everything after Awake, but can't call them bad)
• Silent Planet
• August Burns Red
• Underoath (well, they used to be)
• Fit For A King
• Wolves At The Gate (though their lyrics can be too much on the nose)
• Flyleaf (when Lacey Sturm was still on board)
• Love & Death
• Children 18:3

Yeah, but the people I hate get those benefits too! Can't have that!

/s, in case it wasn't obvious.
