Welcome, to IronHell.

Peculiar properties of spacetime ensure that the perception of the magnitude of Soon is fluid and dependent, not on an individual's time-reference, but on spatial and cultural location. A marketer generally perceives Soon as a finite, known, yet unspeakable time-interval; to a fan, the interval appears greater, and may in fact approach the infinite, becoming Never. Once the interval has passed, however, a certain time-lensing effect seems to occur, and the time-interval becomes vanishingly small. We therefore see the strange result that the same fragment of spacetime may be observed, in quick succession, as Soon, Never, and All Too Quickly.

Could you post a picture? The shape of a mystic ninja scroll thing is hard to picture when it's also hardcover.silva wrote:faux leather black & red hardcover in the shape of a mystic ninja scroll YEAAAAHHH

-- LIMITED EDITION HARDCOVER BOOKS --
The highest level of support/backing rewards you with a limited edition version of both the core Shinobigami book and the supplement book.[...] The design is not finalized, but the concept will be Hardcover, Faux-Leather, Black with Bright Red highlights, that looks like a cross between a cursed ninja training scroll and a secret journal. Esoteric Buddhism ( 密教 Mikkyo, often used in "ninja magic") lettering and diagrams, and so on. Will attract strange looks from passersby.

Maybe there's a faux scroll attached to the back cover. So you've got something that looks like a partially unrolled scroll above and below the pages.
Or they actually go and print the whole thing on a scroll and put a faux leather sheath around it.
Or it's one of those symbolic reward mystic ninja scrolls where it turns out that the scroll is blank and the mystic ninja secret is honor or practice or the power of friendshipkickstarter pledges.

Hmm... the last would be a pretty accurate description of hipster indie games like Apocalypse World...Rasumichin wrote:Maybe there's a faux scroll attached to the back cover. So you've got something that looks like a partially unrolled scroll above and below the pages.

Steam Sales, Shoes, cups, and Shadow of the Demon Lord physical books for me.
For Steam Sales I got: Hotline Miami 2, Hand of Fate, and Crypt of the Necrodancer

Ary, Hotline Miami 2 rocks. I looooove it. Look out for the fatty Kung-fu dude (Jake, I think): after you finish the game for the first time, he unlocks a new mask that gives him nunchucks and Bruce Lee combos.

Nothing obscure. Berserk, JoJo's, Onepunch Man, all stuff already popular enough to be animated. All worthy of their fame, though. I'll probably stärt trawling through http://myanimelist.net/recommendations. ... cs&t=manga when I run out of popular stuff.silva wrote:what are you reading ? Any recommendations ?
So apparently I'm going to Comic-Con Sacramento in 2016.
My parents gave me a pair of passes. It's cool that they were thinking about including the person I'm seeing right now, but I've learned about making any kind of relationship plans further out than about a week, a month tops, so I'm not worrying about that yet. The con will be cool either way.

Nothing, I'm a grown-ass man and if I want something I'll buy it myself. Although I did buy a pair of comfy slippers last week.

I never really ask for much. Partly because I don't really know what I want, and partly because on some level I think I'm supposed to be too old to get presents and stuff. It's part of the difficulty of being born middle-aged, and part just still feeling awkward that I play video games and collect miniatures despite being over thirty. I know, we're Gen-Y, that's just what we're like. But it's still awkward so in some ways I think I'm supposed to be all grown up and stuff.
So I have a new Pokemon pyjama top (Charmander, Squirtle, Bulbasaur, Pikachu), some nice new shoes for jogging in Summer, new quilt covers that have yet to be covered in dog hair, and a variety of delicious chocolate. Also some tupperware containers for my paints
And depending what the AU prices end up looking like, I might buy myself some plastic army men when GW do the "Army Starter" discounted boxed sets in January (~60 Euro or 85 USD, which means 25-48% off the cost of buying individual things, but it's not as simple as running the conversion and saying it's $116 here, it'll probably be $150-ish).
Oh and Maxus bought me the Sword of Asumi which is a pretty cool game, on Steam.
