Basically, “just zis guy, you know?”. For money I work as a programmer / data analyst at URMC. Degrees in Linguistics. For fun I play too much Zelda and fumble around on bass. Film lover. Urbanist / YIMBY. Kind to cats.
Sometimes it’s the creators who do it. 新世紀エヴァンゲリオン translates as “New Century Evangelion” but even the original Japanese release says “Neon Genesis Evangelion” because that’s what the studio decided the English name was.

Yes they did and it's been very successful. They hit 100,000 new installs two years ahead of schedule and bumped their goal up.

Also some slapstick elements like Tom flipping the lever on the recliner and flinging the sea hag. Overall a mix of visual gags and really dry jokes in the dialogue.

show reads like Parks and Rec but the town is cursed and some spooky stuff happens. Which makes sense because the original spec script of the pilot was the sample that got Katie Dippold her writing job on Parks and Rec.

horror (Patricia’s whole slow run from the Boogeyman and ridiculous obstacles like the gas pump dripping when she pulls the handle), deadpan line readings like, “Dead baby, dead baby, lesbian”. Stuff like Patricia slowly shutting the door in the face of the guy ranting about the curse. The entire

I’ll try my best to explain in short form. I found it to be a comedy that had some horror elements. There are constant character reactions and background elements that undercut what the characters are saying (“There was no cannibalism” in front of a giant “Cannibalism in God’s House” headline) or

It is very much a comedy. It may not be your kind of comedy, and that's fine. Everyone's sense of humor is different. But if it hits for you - and it did for me - it's a very funny show.

Oh, and I’ve been turning the click on with the songs to practice having that in my ear and solidifying note placement.

with kick, snare + splash 2x, kick; I keep rushing it (the song is 154bpm and I panic) and misplacing kicks. Again, slow down. Need to woodshed that whole song bar by bar at slower speed.

so I've been practicing doing those as paradiddles because it sounds cool and I need to practice them. 2) The Strokes "Welcome to Japan" has several bars of 16th note sextuplets 2x. Trying to work on those cleanly outside song and build to speed. 3) The Cure "Just Like Heaven" has a repeating fill

Fingers crossed that they let you pick the Japanese audio like other recent Zelda games (BotW, TotK, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity and Age of Imprisonment).

They did say that there would be Zelda things over the next year. I'd like to think they are going to space it out and we'll see WW HD and TP HD ports after people have had time to play the OoT remake.

They have successfully taken my money.

Oh and at work I upgraded a database and forgot to backup the old config, which was less than helpful when I needed to bring it back up. Then I accidentally double loaded the data and got hundreds of thousands of duplicate rows. Are you a true senior dev if you haven't caused a production outage?

Last night I was doing the next set of Drumeo lessons I've been working on and suddenly couldn't put kicks or snare ghost notes on the 16th note between hihat/ride 8th notes. Just completely zonked and incapable and regressing.

Or at least 750k in the county. Versus Amarillo where the metro is barely bigger than the city (205k and 269k). The actual city of Rochester is a small area and has some big suburbs, like Greece is almost 100k.
