Argento-chan @argent4 Gambling is not a good thing to do, but hey, I wish you the best of luck and hope your bussiness proves to be successful. You definitely had a better sunday than I did. Wanna hear in what I spent basically all day? I got one of those pre-designed window bookself frames, the ones that take up the whole wall and have a cozy spot where you can lay down and read by the window. I sent the makes the exact measurement, and to their credit it really fit perfectly. But installing it, oh man. The manual had several mistakes. The very first spet involved a so called "part 21", I searched everywhere for it, but couldn't find it. Counted all the pieces, and yeah, it was the right number. So I left that step for later to come back. Part 21 didn't exist. They mislabeled it. It was part 23 all along. Then came the missing screw holes, some just weren't there. I had to use the drill to make my own. But the real disaster hit near the end. I had to attach the back plates to the bookshelves before mounting everything on the wall. According to the instructions, all the plates were supposed to be rectangular, but I had both reactangular and square ones. Assumed the square ones matched the square parts of the shelves and would hide the joint nicely, so started nailing the rectangular plates where they fit perfectly. Then the squares didn't fit anywhere. Turns out you were supposed to install them in a way that shows the division on the back plank, they probably didn't care about that since the books could cover it. So now I had to remove the plaques I had nailed down. Except the back of the hamemr couldn't get under the nails. And that's when I had a vision... of butter being spear on a toast. I ran to the kitched to grab a butter knife, and used it to carefully wiggle between the plaques and the shelves until the nails stuck out far enough to be pulled with the hammer. But wait, there's more. The nails I removes were bent, and I didn't have enough spares of the right size. Normally, I would just head to the nearest store, but there was a flood alert and I thought "you know what, let's not." So went to the garden, grabbed a rock, and started hammering the bent nails straight. It took a while. It felt extremely primitive. But it worked. In the end I got the damn thing mounted and looking great, so despite everything I can't even give the maker a bad review. The wood and materials are top grade, the design is nice, and it was way cheaper than going fully custom. It was still a good deal. And I'm a little mad about that.

Argento-chan @argent4 Woah, that's such a menacing wall of text. Sorry about that.

godspell @godspell You're very fine don't worry about it. Sounds like you had a dreadful time though I'm must know was it from ikea bc they love to troll people. Yeah but comics are a big gamble regardless my book is from 1968 very old only 3 are perfect in that range I'm getting it in today so I'll check it before doing anything

godspell @godspell But it's probably not ikea sounds like it was a custom job but man they didn't do a good job at making it easy

godspell @godspell I'll buy you a set of books to get you started. And some tea

godspell @godspell Man I got an email on these 3 books I sent out got rejected. Ahhh that could have been 4 grand. I'll try again later I'm sure I got a strict grader is what happened

Argento-chan @argent4 No, it wasn't from ikea, it would've been even harder if it were. I heard abou an ikea curtain rail that requieres two ladders, a saw, a laser level and at least two people just to install it. And if you want to work safe, you would need for people.

Argento-chan @argent4 Rejected? Does that mean these don't qualify for any grade? Tough luck, man. I've watched videos questioning grading companies, though it was about pokemon cards. Some people actually resend their 8s and 9s multiple times, hoping for a better grade, and the surprising part is they often get it. So it really seems to come down to luck and who happens to review your stack. Either way, do you think it would be worth sending your books again?

Argento-chan @argent4 Sorry about the typos, I keep messing up because the tiny text box doesn't let me see what I just wrote unless I scroll up. Hopefully it's still understandable.

godspell @godspell Also after the russia thing he worshipped him instead after breaking him again. It's been such a roller coaster watching him be developed

Argento-chan @argent4 I mean, if the guy just wanted to live like a normal person, it would be nice if the story actually showed him becoming one and getting beaten at some point. What is it that you dislike about it? Is it just the characters? Still, props to you for sticking with it for so long, I probably would do the same if I were 200+ chapters in.

godspell @godspell I like how funny the mc is when he's centralized in the story and how tragic he is. He really was trying to be a normal person. His father lost to him at 5 beating him up by kicking his balls then up and left to say he went to train (he does come back and he's incredibly messed up what he was doing). His mother berates him to be a normal person that it's actually a martial art suggestion to chain him.

godspell @godspell He is even funnier when he gets really depressed when someone says you're just bullying someone weaker bc he was pissed. He got pissed bc of someone being cocky to him making him out to be the bad guy even though he's defending himself. He beats up the Russians to ask why the hell you kidnapped me and he beats them up more. For the Russian guy to admit he's a pervert who wants to be rewarded by putin to beat him up

godspell @godspell I'm officially caught up. Because of his actions the MC has essentially lost any way to have a normal life. He got anti social status meaning no checks no chance at art school. So Teru who ended up being his servant again start a gang to create a new shogun to give them a place to belong

Argento-chan @argent4 Sure, it seems like a wonderfully silly classic, definitely something I would enjoy watching. Also, sorry for the late (or missing) replies these past days, it's summer break, and as usual, my relatives have invaded my stronghold. There are more than 10 of them. I'm dying. Please send help.

Argento-chan @argent4 By the way, I adopted a kitty yesterday. Please accept this humble offering as a token of gratitude for all the amazing pics of your boys you've blessed me with.

Argento-chan @argent4 It seems the art of attaching photos still eludes me, but that was my best try.

godspell @godspell You'll have to post it on my wall or your wall to show me the wonderful kitten. You want me to start a fake fire? Have everyone evacuate go somewhere else?

godspell @godspell Your kitten very pretty. Nice eyes

godspell @godspell Also never worry about missing out on replies with me. You know I'm very patient and it's worth waiting for a conversation with you

Argento-chan @argent4 That's unfortunate, because I won't be doing that. Here, have another pic: https://i.imgur.com/mHHGbQE.jpeg

Argento-chan @argent4 His eyes are a bit wonky, sometimes they look really outward. He was up for adoption for a long time, guess people passed on him because of it. It's common in kittens and there's a good chance it'll improve as he grows. I really don't mind, and the vet said his vision is fine.

godspell @godspell You're very kind for picking him up. He looks like a sleeping angel. But again offer still stands I can easy get a smoke machine and replicate the smell of fire lol

Argento-chan @argent4 Thank you, but that won't be necessary. Today I have been released from the curse. Also, thank you for you patience. I hope to one day repay all that kindness with cannoli.

godspell @godspell Lucas also has wonky eyes sometimes when they get really dilated with affection. But it just makes him amazing

godspell @godspell I miss cannoli. It's one of my favorite desserts bc of this really ok Italian related anime on mafia with powers

godspell @godspell Oh yeah do you wanna watch superman with me later on? I haven't seen it but I've been happy with its reception

Argento-chan @argent4 Sure, let's watch it sometime. I have heard good things about it.

godspell @godspell Yeah let's make a bunch of movie snacks for it. I'm very excited for Mr. Terrific though. I've been a big fan of that character since the 40s version. Where his slogan was fair play. He believed in equality in all matters. This version an improvement of it. He lost his wife and unborn son and was gonna commit suicide until he was inspired by the golden age hero
