I mostly play fighting games nowadays and I think people can learn a lot about mental self-improvement by playing them online. Namely:

  • The main one for me: how to accept losses and learn from them. Losing/making mistakes is not the end of the world but an opportunity to learn from, grow and get better. Losing gives you experience if only on what not to do in a given situation
  • Not expecting short-term improvement and that you'll get better at something overnight. Be patient, understand and accept that on some days you'll be at the top of your game and on others you can't even think straight. Think in medium-to-long term
  • Sometimes losing/making a lot of mistakes will get you mad. And that's okay. Take a breather if you can.
  • Not comparing yourself to others and let yourself get discouraged. Everyone has their own rhythm. Maybe you'll need to work harder than others on some things. But that's just how it is sometimes. Keep at it and you'll eventually see improvements.

Whatever Daisuke Ishiwatari comes up with next. Right now it's Radiant Dawn , Dizzy's theme from Guilty Gear Strive. Thought it was cool at first, nothing mind blowing. Now I can't stop hearing it in my head.

Yep:

Suzume Somemiya's magical girl spinoff manga for Asato Asato's 86 light novel series

EDIT: If you follow the link to the light novel page and read the plot summary, you'll notice it's that 86.

First of all, thank you for doing these, more original content is always welcome and appreciated! I really like your writing style and that the subjects you cover are just things you find interesting, whether they're related or not. Like you said, it's more of a old gaming blog style, which is cool.

I also played the shit out of Abuse back in the day but never finished it, so thanks for the excuse to give it another go. Although I did find the 15 fps limit added to the charm of the game, so to speak. But I'll try this new version.

Because I always wanted to have my own theme song.

But really, I browsed through my music collection by alphabetical order and it sounded cool. Blue Öyster Cult always delivers, even with the title of their songs.

Such a great game, and such a shame we'll probably never get to play the conclusion to its story.

The Armored Core trailers are probably my favourites:

The thing that stands out the most is the sense of how enormous and powerful these mechs are.

Off the top of my head, for Berlin International Film Festival, there's the Golden Bear.

No problem!

There's also the DTM but they kinda lost their unique appeal and are more akin to a regular GT3 series these days, as far as I can tell. The Intercontinental GT Challenge, on the other hand, seems pretty interesting, when looking at its calendar. I mainly follow the Nürburgring 24 Hours but am keen on watching the other races.

I'm currently watching WEC these days, which is pretty fun, but that's good to know about IMSA. Will have to check out some races.

If you're okay with sports car racing series, there's Japan's Super GT and North America's IMSA SportsCar Championship. I don't really follow these 2 series, but I've heard good things about them, especially the latter.

No phone apps that I know of for Koha. I think it works fine on any mobile browser, though. If you know HTML, CSS, or even JavaScript you can do a ton of cool stuff on your library's catalogue. As for FOLIO, no idea, but I don't think any exist.

There is VideLibri but it doesn't add any functionality you don't already have when accessing the online catalogue of any library on your browser, so I don't think it's worth it. Something like the Web Opac App, which let's you browse a ton of libraries' catalogues in one app would be a more interesting solution. Unfortunately, it's stopped being maintained a while ago and went closed-source, from what I can gather.

Hi! In the library I work, we use Koha, which is probably the most well-known open-source library management system. This comes with the advantage of having a big community and having a lot of answers to questions you'll probably have, albeit the documentation is kind of all over the place. Just a heads-up, though: it only runs on Linux so, whoever is going to do the implementation must familiarize themselves with it if they haven't done so already. It's not a flawless system by any means but as far as open-source goes, it's the best and most mature.

There are a few demo servers you can try on their website: https://koha-community.org/demo/

The other open-source library management system I know of is FOLIO (their repo) but I haven't tried it or read much about it. I only know it's way younger than Koha (created 10 years ago, I think) and that EBSCO is one of its vendors. It may use newer technology but I honestly don't know. You can also try a demo server if you go to their wiki.

Hope it helped. If you have any questions, let me know :).
