Still using my 2014/2015 model thinkpad (bought used in 2019), still feels brand new.

Durability is the game, and since they're usually for work/ bought by a company for the whole office they are usually taken care of when bought used.

if you like the gradual improvement over time aspect of the story, you'd love the Progression Fantasy genre.

Here's a site that has a catalogue of most novels in that genre

1. When I hear Takeshi Obata, Death Note comes to mind (I'd assume most of you would have the same thought).

2. I've read Death Note (I've watched the anime first), Bakuman (Manga then Anime then Manga again), All You Need is Kill (Movie first), Platina End (manga only). I've also watched Hikaru no Go but only knew it was Takeshi Obata's work when creating this post. I loved all of his works besides Platina End which I only liked. His new works hasn't reached the level of Death Note and Bakuman, unfortunately.

3. As much as I would like to say that it's all about the story, I'd say his art still has a big impact to the manga. His art elevates the story to a whole new level. I couldn't imagine Death Note drawn by another mangaka like Eyeshield 21's Yusuke Murata, or Kaiji's Nobuyuki Fukumoto to be the same masterpiece. The drawback is he needs a good partner, which fortunately he had with Tsugumi Ohba. Death Note and Bakuman were great, maybe even modern classics that would be relevant for years to come. On the other end, Platina End was a disappointment. The story was only fine but the art elevates the manga a bit to be likeable.

4. I don't know if it would actually work well, but it was interesting to imagine Obata's art being used on Nobuyuki Fukumoto's work. Imagine Light Yagami playing Restricted Rock, Paper, Scissors. That'd be epic.

He has a beautiful unique style where if you a random page of any of his works on the internet, you'd know it was his.

I hope he continues to make more works, and I'll be excited to read all of it.

Maybe I should read Hikaru no Go as well.

incarnation/resemblance of older characters trope

Which one are you talking about? And why do you hate the trope so much?

Maybe I'm still in the early stages (blacklist 10) that catchup for enemies isn't too relevant because I've been smoking them (like half the map away).

Although when I do make a mistake (ram head-on against another car, hit a wall, etc.) it is plainly obvious that given enough time I'll be able to catch up.

I'll try that out, thanks

Ashita no Joe for an old classic (Megalo Box for a modern take but it's only in Anime iirc). This is Boxing btw

Blue Lock for Football (although still about youths)

One Outs for Baseball (not your usual sports manga, more of a psychological thriller)

Hikaru no Go for Shougi (MC is young but he's fighting professional players, like a young chess prodigy fighting Magnus Carlsen)

How to add the izzysoft fdroid repo?

Floyd was one of the first persons I thought of that abuses clinching, I remember watching his fight with Pacquiao and it was boring as hell. 12 rounds of nothing.

You cn do this by changing your account settings.

was this the only case against him?

I think I have the list of places found in Your Name, hopefully I can go to at least one.
