I consider Legend of the Galactic Heroes to be peak fiction. I love the music (Mahler is the main reason why I love it) and the slow, gradual pacing. In the age of instant gratification, it is a breath of fresh air. It is a fantastic space opera with many twists and turns, and you never know...

I didn't know you majored in history until the other day. I also majored in history, so it's cool to meet a fellow history major. I know it's hard to keep up with developments in history after graduation since it's not front and center. But anyway, it was a pleasure to meet you! PS: I'd be...

As someone who played in earlier MPLs and will likely not play in future MPLs, I thought I would offer my insight. One of the most significant issues in earlier MPLs was that Monotype was an OM, so we had undeveloped metagames in MPL (Mono STABmons, Mono AAA, etc.). The biggest issue we saw...

I am not a parent, nor do I have plans to be in the immediate future, as I have grown up with young children all my life. In the long run, I may have children, but I do not see it until I feel I can reasonably support a child because I have seen many parents having children but do not have the...

I have studied Greek since I was a child but took it more seriously at university. I keep up with it by watching many news programs in Greek, engaging with native speakers, and watching Netflix's Maestro in Blue. I also taught myself Latin, but since it is a dead language, it is challenging to...

I haven't been writing much lately because I am working and focusing on other endeavors. However, I sometimes write about my thoughts about Historical primary source documents from antiquity (Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome). I also annotate many philosophical works such as Aristotle's Politics...

In terms of music, I recently had the pleasure of seeing Mahler 4 live, which was terrific. It is one of a few classical pieces that has some singing. I also plan to see Mahler 2 (Resurrection), Mahler 3, Mahler 6, and Mahler 7 live. I honestly implore people to listen to classical music...

My first system was a GameCube when I was five. I played Mario Kart Double Dash all day, and it was a great time.

I have been excited about the Netflix adaptation of ATLA, as it seems to have been made with more effort than the 2010 live-action movie. Netflix's ATLA is set to come out on February 22nd which is roughly one month from now. I would love to hear what others think about the series. I am...

I started lurking without an account because of FlamingSpade's videos during BW days. However, I decided to make an account when the Monotype community started gaining steam, as I wanted to help the community grow.

This year, I lost and kept off 60 pounds, primarily through changing my diet and intermittent fasting. I cut out fast food and cut my sugary drink intake to a small drink once daily. (My new goal is to eliminate sugary drinks) I also started working out and have seen significant gains. I also...

Ten years ago I was starting high school and I started to play on PS. I look back at this time with some regret as I wish I had gone out to meet new people more. In the end, I wish I had my current approach to life back then. I look back and see how much I've grown with great pride.

I'll give my thoughts since I have played the metagame for the past week; I think I have played enough to form an at least somewhat informed opinion. Regarding what was up for ban, I think the council is correct in identifying where there are issues with Annihilape, Urshifu, and Ice teams...

I recently decided to get back into Pokemon casually, but I wanted to produce something so it feels somewhat productive. I am mainly uploading Gen 9 Monotype laddering content (alone and with other top Monotype players) and may take it more seriously if I continue to enjoy it.

I loved your art for the gambit article keep up the good work!

I wanted to share my weight loss journey. I went from 213 pounds to 155 pounds, mainly through a calorie deficit and intermittent fasting. After I finished, I decided to build some muscle on the skinnier frame. Currently, I built up abs through consistent core exercises and toned muscles. I've...

From my perspective as an outsider, Monotype has grown significantly since I quit, likely due to your efforts. I 100% sympathize with falling out of love and not enjoying the game. As I had a similar experience, I logged on only as an obligation, not because I enjoyed myself. I wish you the best...

I would tell myself quite a few things 1. Get a credit card right away and start building credit. Initially, I got a credit card not when I turned 18 because of my misconceptions about credit cards. I would tell myself how to maximize the rewards with my everyday spending. 2. Keep an eye on...
