We used to do it where we would set up two big squares of cups filled with beer, and the shots were mixed in amongst the cups. So you could see the other side, just didn’t know where the shots were. So we were still just throwing balls, but trying to hit the ships. But we also had multiple people on each team because a 30 rack and a fifth for each side is way too much for a single person.

Oh ya another great one! I’m excited to see how it shapes up but I’ve heard good things from people who read the manga.

Actiony:

• Jujutsu Kaisen: probably the raddest one coming out right now in my opinion. Beautiful art and fight scenes. Great story.
• One Punch Man: Love it. Very goofy. Again great art and fight scenes. Just be ready to have watched everything out and still no 3rd season.
• Blue Exorcist: Classic boy finds out he has powers. Goes to a cool high school to train. I thought it was fun, plus I’m a sucker for supernatural stuff.
• Code Geass: Great story with some political intrigue. I think this is on a lot of people’s top 10s.
• All of Gundam: If you want to get sucked into a whole world with tons of series get into Gundam.
• Deathnote: Fun cat and mouse thriller. Reminds me very much of Sherlock and Moriarty style cat and mouse games.
• K: First season is great. Unfortunately I couldn’t get through the first episode of the second season. Maybe I’ll try it out some other time.
• Castlevania: Follows the storylines similar to the video games. Just brutal vampire shit. It’s great.
• Megalo Box: This one is amazing. Lofi hiphop vibes and a great underdog rocky style boxing story. Really gave me Bebop/Champloo vibes.
• Assassination Classroom: Weird concept. I didn’t think I would like it but came to love it. Kids have to learn to kill their alien teacher by learning to be assassins.

Some non-actiony animes if you are looking to branch out that i’ve enjoyed are Saiki K, Food Wars (so fan servicey but a really fun story if you ever liked Iron Chef), Zom100 (I guess this is kinda actiony, but more fun), Mashle (again actiony, but more goofy).

I could probably list a million more but my list is getting really long. I also second the recommendations in the other replies.

I’m reading House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski right now. It’s been great so far and has such a unique style to it. I didn’t realize until I saw this post how perfect it was for spooky season. Although I wouldn’t say it has any Halloween elements. It’s more just general horrorish.

I wouldn’t be surprised if some of it is coming off the news of the suicide bombing that was carried out by IS in Pakistan. But another part of it could be that one post got popular and so you will see posts following the trends.

On an atheism community you can’t expect people to only post about one religion. Maybe something you can do to tie it to your experiences is try and connect the commonalities that tend to infect all major religions. I think its interesting finding those foundational aspects of many mainstream religions and seeing how they use similar tactics and controlling techniques amongst their congregants.

Man, I feel this a lot. Sometimes when I’m stuck I’ll go read or watch something that I love for inspiration, and it only makes things worse. Like what am I even writing about? It feels like the only way it could be interesting is if you were in my head. Then I’m worried I’m not a good enough writer for that. Luckily my existential side breaks through and I just say, “Who cares. I like writing this story, so I will.”

I just have to remind myself that fame has come to shit stories, and obscurity to greats. So, the main battle is to just finish something. Do you find anything helps you cope with this feeling?
