These two chapters, one of the most tragic and saddest moments I have ever read in a novel, are a disheartening disappointment in the manhwa.

The artwork is completely devoid of those strong emotions we felt while reading. I am truly dismayed.

..and yes, I am convinced Fuyuki would have done much better.

The short uploaded on YouTube by IkkitheVikki years ago is definitely better, just saying...

I'll add: We went from Alea's death, which in the book is relatively cold while in the manhwa it is done so well it makes real men cry...to...this... Turtle..oh my dear, why

The current matchmaking system in Weekend League makes zero sense. If you are an average player who usually finishes with around 10 wins, your first 7 games feel easy, matches up to game 12 feel balanced, and from game 13 onward it becomes borderline impossible. You almost always end up with the exact same final score every single weekend, and the experience is just frustrating.

Some people argue for purely random matchmaking, but that makes no sense either. Basic math shows that only benefits the top 5% or 10% of players, who would rarely ever run into anyone near their skill level.

The actual solution is what almost every other competitive game does: tie Champions matchmaking directly to your Rivals division. If you are in Division 1, you play against Division 1 players in Weekend League. If you are in Division 4, you play against Division 4 players. Every match stays fair and competitive for everyone.

A Div 4 player could fight for 7 wins in their tier, just like an Elite player fights for 7 wins in theirs, with the potential to push higher if they are on great form. The rewards would obviously scale to reflect the division rank, meaning 7 wins in Elite gives vastly better rewards than 7 wins in Div 4.

It makes no sense that a Div 4 player constantly gets matched against Div 1 players in Champs. That is why so many average players actually enjoy Rivals but get completely burned out and tilted in WL every single year. EA needs to unify ranks across both modes instead of letting higher-tier players just farm average opponents.

Hey everyone, I just grabbed the Flexispot E7 Pro frame on sale and now I need to pick a tabletop, but I have some doubts because of how heavy my setup is:

- PC case on the desk (can't put it on the floor, between dust and cable management when standing it'd be a mess)
- Single monitor arm with a 32" monitor
- Dual monitor arm with two monitors (one 32" and one 27")

Basically, I have 3 monitors on clamp mounts putting quite a bit of leverage on the back edge, plus the PC weight on one side.

Options I'm considering: The Ikea laminate countertop (like the 38mm Saljan), where the standard 186x63cm size is super cheap at around 55€, but I'm afraid 63cm depth is way too shallow with monitor arms, while getting a custom 200x80cm one goes over 300€. Alternatively, there's the Desktronic 180x80cm (25mm engineered wood/chipboard) on Amazon for 150€, or the official Flexispot ones in 25mm chipboard or 20mm bamboo (which are around 230€ to 320€).

Do you think a 25mm top like Desktronic or Flexispot can handle this kind of load without sagging or cracking where the clamps tighten, or is it better to spend more and go for the custom 38mm Ikea top just to be safe?
