Game that bad?

It was ridiculous fun. Da Bears dominated the first half and then promptly shat the bed. I think NFL may have won me over.

Anime NYC ended a few hours ago, all in all it was a decent con. Obviously wasn't going to be as big as NYCC but still fun and organized as fuck for a first con. Impressed will go again next year, but hopefully not completely shatter the bank like this year. I had con fever...

Which animus are your fav?

@SirBalon @Kowabunga Is Coke/Koke a nickname for those named 'Jorge'?

Yes mate, it's the diminutive of Jorge (George in English).

I've always found it strange that in Spain we have various diminutive of names that are as the original...  There are even some diminutives that are longer than their originals.

I mean it changes from year to year honestly with all the seasonal anime. I'll always love Dragonball Z for what it is same with Naruto. Primarily I go for Isekai so like Sword Art Online, KonoSuba, Re:Zero, etc. However when I always recommend Tokyo Ghoul to anyone who likes any kind of anime.

That's odd, here Jorge's "diminutive" would be Jorgito, albeit it's not used at all. The same with the name Jorge itself as it's an old man's name.

You could say "Jorgito"...  Remember that for many names there are also many diminutives and for example my name "Antonio" you've got "Tony (or Toni)" (the one almost everyone calls me), "Toño", "Tonino", "Antonino" and probably other variants I haven't mentioned.  "José" for example has "Joselito", "Joseíto" and the most popular, "Pepe".

To be fair my name is very common across the Western hemisphere and some parts of the East, it's Nicolás here, Nicholas or Nick in the anglosphere, Nicola in Italy, Niklas in Scandinavia, Nikola in Eastern Europe and Nikolay in Russia, and there are probably more.

Given that in most countries in Latin America they call it San Nicolás, you could say so.

No  

St Nicholas is meant to be Santa Claus!

The site manager(who is an absolute bellend I might add) on the site I'm currently on walks like this. In fact, if he had a bald head with long hair coming down the sides, then he would be spits of Penguin out of Batman forever.

Amazing @nudge thanks for asking ! A blue fillet with peppercorn sauce and skinny fries was the order of the day, can't go wrong!

Definitely need to go to a steakhouse for the inaugral TF365 meet-up in 2024 .

I'm in!  

And yes, completely agree, I love variety in my food but nothing even comes close to a proper steak 

[Stan]

that steak and chips actually sounds amazing.

Amazing footage. I feel harsh for the cat, don't get me wrong, but you don't see this everyday.

As a cat lover. That ruined my evening 

[Carnivore Chris]

The problem is though mate, when people allow their cats to roam freely in the wild, they become part of the food chain. After all, they kill a lot of small birds and rodents themselves.
