7:14 PMScottyJayMan​Australia’s rollout is a complete mess. We’ve missed out target by about 75%

7:14 PMmatthew wilson​you likely wont need it after the first shot, but you likely will need it after the second

7:15 PMaddictedtochaos​we get sick days at my work too, it is generally frowned upon using them

7:16 PMaddictedtochaos​only because people have abused it

7:17 PMLynndy Lee​only 5-6 days?!

7:17 PMaddictedtochaos​we get 3 but they can roll over to the next year, up to 10 can be banked

7:19 PMLynndy Lee​I used to get like 10-14 but since I started freelancing, I can’t afford sick days

7:20 PMLynndy Lee​but sick days are days for when you’re sick. Vacation days are different.

7:20 PMmatthew wilson​your post vacine pto

7:28 PMtwistedideas​how different is Rise from Worlds

7:50 PMaddictedtochaos​i can’t get past the art direction for One Piece

7:50 PMtwistedideas​One Piece doesn’t start off great

7:51 PMLynndy Lee​I can’t stand the character design either so never bothered to watch it

7:53 PMCyberian_Tiger​Howdy Howdy ANdrew

7:54 PMLynndy Lee​ah… I don’t get One Punch Man either

7:55 PMaddictedtochaos​same

7:56 PMLynndy Lee​Bojack is an ass

7:59 PMLynndy Lee​Never bothered to watch Rick and Morty but I will always have Futurama

7:59 PMCyberian_Tiger​Can’t stand the Cal-tech art style anymore I think it ran its course years ago. was nice at first

8:00 PMCyberian_Tiger​Rick and morty I did enjoy, the fandom on the other I could not stand

8:02 PMCyberian_Tiger​Neon Genesis Evangelion I enjoyed at first but I think the further I got into the more it just I really started to dislike it. Don’t get me started on the ending.

8:02 PMaddictedtochaos​not an anime but have you seen Megas XLR?

8:03 PMCyberian_Tiger​I didn’t like Megas XLR at first when it came out. But I really started to like it as I got older

8:05 PMCyberian_Tiger​I find it interesting as I got older there are shows I didn’t like at first but started to later.

8:06 PMaddictedtochaos​it was consistently in the top 5 of cartoon network’s shows, but was inexplicably cancelled

8:07 PMCyberian_Tiger​Naruto I didn’t like, everybody in my school. We had a anime club that played it most of the time.

8:07 PMLynndy Lee​those are scars?

8:07 PMaddictedtochaos​if im not mistaken megas can be found on youtube easily, i believe it is public domain

8:07 PMCyberian_Tiger​really?

8:08 PMaddictedtochaos​all of megas aired

8:08 PMCyberian_Tiger​I know they canceled Swat Kats before airing the rest of the last season.

8:09 PMmatthew wilson​yup swat kats is a deep cut

8:10 PMCyberian_Tiger​What makes it more deeper is the fact there is a unair finished ep

8:10 PMaddictedtochaos​cartoon network gave up the rights last i heard

8:11 PMaddictedtochaos​heresy

8:11 PMLynndy Lee​I haven’t watch Cowboy Bebop

8:12 PMCyberian_Tiger​Don’t like Cowboy Bebop? You wait right there, Andrew, I’ma go set up the public burning.

8:12 PMaddictedtochaos​faye isnt meant to be likable

8:12 PMCyberian_Tiger​But in all seriousness I can see why you don’t like it. And I agree with faye. I would’ve have thrown here out.

8:14 PMaddictedtochaos​outlaw star is great

8:15 PMaddictedtochaos​trigun?

8:16 PMCyberian_Tiger​I did enjoy Trigun, there are some eps where I’m just “Okay okay..can we just move on with the plot?”

8:18 PMCyberian_Tiger​The characters go to places but sometimes the plot don’t.

8:20 PMCyberian_Tiger​I remember when Final Fantacy movie came out in the mid 2000s and there was all these pirated DVDs crashing Region locked DVD players. Happened in my anime club. Spent the entire lunch troubleshooting

8:21 PMLynndy Lee​I thought Tiger was referring to advent children

8:21 PMaddictedtochaos​spirits within was a good sci-fi movie but probably should not have had the final fantasy name attached

8:23 PMCyberian_Tiger​Yeah I was refering to Advent children, 2005 if i recall

8:25 PMaddictedtochaos​if they were going to make a FF movie it should have felt like aghame we could have played

8:25 PMCyberian_Tiger​While we are discussing controversial opinions: I couldn’t get into FF7, I just can’t take a liking to Cloud.

8:26 PMaddictedtochaos​yeah. VII never grabbed me

8:26 PMaddictedtochaos​love FFX though

8:27 PMaddictedtochaos​that was X2

8:28 PMaddictedtochaos​tidus

8:28 PMaddictedtochaos​auron was cool

8:30 PMCyberian_Tiger​right on take care Andrew. We’ll save the public burning for that Cowboy bebop later.

8:30 PMLynndy Lee​haha
