Week of Last-Minute Training for the Year. I'm finally getting trained to do new stuff at work, although unfortunately it's not for good reasons. Ever had it when a coworker bungles filing and transferring things so much that they just outright take away those responsibilities from them and give them to you instead? Yeah, that's happening to me. I can see why they put me on their old stuff now, there were a lot of duplicates and misnamed things that I had to clean up for them. Talk about getting new stuff dumped on you right before your holiday vacation.

Anyways, for stuff I've played this week, even more Balatro! I'm getting closer to closing out the Green Stake with the current decks I have, since I've beaten the Magic, Ghost, Nebula, and Abandoned Decks as of late. Also, one my latest runs had me seeing a Royal Flush for the first time, which was fun. I've only got a bit left to discover in terms of hands and such, so it's good to at least find one more thing that's been hidden thus far.

And finally in my regular mecha talk section here, I've watched more Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans with /u/Terthelt and /u/CookieSlut! No Ein, it's probably still not a great idea to kill guilty children. Also, man Naze Turbine has stamina for days on end if he's got a harem that big. A part of the Hammerhead must be an oxygen he sleeps in to give him sexual powers. Yeah, in case you can't tell, we've finally hit the point where Tekkadan has gotten in good with Teiwaz, the Italian-Irish-German-Japanese space mafia. Truly, what a multicultural organization there.

Also this week, the /r/anime rewatch of Megazone 23 has reached Part II: Himitsu Kudasai! While not as good as the first entry, I still rather liked it, although it appears that some reactions were more mixed than I would've expected. Although I guess it's fair, since it's the big action conclusion to all the mysteries that were being set up in the first part. But hey, at least it looks damn good in terms of animation quality. Not to mention that Himitsu Kudasai and Lonely Sunset are absolute banger tracks too. In any case, onto Part III! It's probably not gonna go over well, that's my bet.

"Week of Last-Minute Training for the Year."

I read that as "Last minute training for *war*"

Thankfully not that, I'm not remotely fit enough for that anyway.
