Kaiji seems pretty niche, and has a very unique style, and I was wondering what other manga you guys love to read.

My personal favorite is HxH which references Kaiji a lot. I’m looking for some hidden gems you guys would recommend to the other Kaiji fans!

My app is a bit choppier than it used to be on an older version. I was wondering if there’s any settings that’s best turned off if you want a boost in performance.

I was a long time edge user but sadly it doesn't work on my laptop anymore (I have a macbook 2015 on Monterey so I knew it was coming).

I've been using Helium for a week and it's been the best browser I've ever used. It's so fast and lightweight and just works. Going forward, Helium will always be my browser of choice.

1. Benjamin: Kakin achieves world unification. Martial focused, I expect mandatory military training for civilians for those who are capable. His descendants will root out corruption like the mafia and stop practices such as the carnivale. No, Kakin will not be dictatorshjp and the people’s lives won’t be hell. It’ll probably be quite good.
2. Camilla: I really have no idea what her kingdom will be like. She seems vain but there’s something about her that still isn’t really explained. It’s been said she wants to change the system like Halk…but what kind of system. Maybe others have a better idea.
3. Zhang Lei: I think Kakin won’t acheive world unification, but they will dominate the world economically. Kakin will generate wealth both legally, but also will be a haven for the mafia, especially the Xi-Yu. This wealth will also funnel into the royal family. Carnivale will definitely continue if I have the right read on Zhang Lei. Peoples lives won’t be terrible. There will be glitz and glamour as more money is generated that benefits the average Kakin citizen, but there will be an obvious dark side to Kakin and a chunk of citizens will always suffer.
4. Tserri: Kakin also achieves world unification. Think of Benjamin’s version, but all the bad stuff dialed to 100. Mafia activity festers, carnivale continues, Kakin goes on a freaking world tour and subjugates the entire world through sheer cruelty. That much power in Tserri’s hands…wow I can’t even image the hellscape the world will become after he wins the greatest succession ritual of all time.
5. Tubeppa: Kakin dominates the world when it comes to inventions, technology, science, medicine. I do believe she’ll expand the military through new weapons, and combat cabapility and possibly achieve Kakin’s goal of world unification. Kakin will become an intellectual giant that may have more long lasting effect on its future than any other King outside of Benjamin. As opposed to Zhang Lei for example, once he’s gone I do expect the wealth to plummet eventually because the wealth will be generated and influenced in large part through a very powerful guardian spirit beast but knowledge can be preserved and passed down. I think Kakin citizens will lead good lives. I don’t think there will be much sympathy for those who fall behind and can’t keep up with Kakin’s changes.
6. Tyson: Kakin becomes a cult culture surrounding Tyson. She’ll be loved, the people will be happy but I don’t see Kakin making any major waves on a global scale until the Book spreads outside of Kakin. Kakin will gain more citizens from outside but eventually other countries will ban the book pretty well and the stream of new citizens will fall. I also don’t see Kakin’s people’s lives actually improving materially either. It’ll just be a happy and frankly strange time until she’s eventually gone.
7. Luzurus: Pretty similar to Zhang Lei but with less wealth and prosperity. He’s a lesser version of Zhang Lei in my opinion. There will be less extremes of good like wealth, but also less extremes of bad (his mafia family doesn’t engage in the same level of crime Zhang Lei’s does).
8. Halkenburg: Kakin becomes a democracy and he ends the current system. But he wins every election due to his cult following and it becomes a semi dictatorship anyways. Kakin expansionist policies end, and mafia and carnivale are eradicated. Peoples lives get better and it becomes a more normal country with less extremes on either end. There’s a dark side to Halk’s reign as he decides to switch bodies every 20 years or so to someone younger…secretly becoming the defacto Kakin ruler for all time.

Or would a modern adaption have very little trouble being considered the gold standard anime adaption of OP by fan consensus?

Is it safe for me drive it back. Considering it just came back from the shop, I’m terrified to drive it home.

I don’t think driving my dad’s car that he just got fixed is the best time to figure out if I can still drive or not.

Was I a good driver? Not really. Wasn’t confident or enjoyed it but I was okay. But this was 7 years ago. I also failed my road test 4 times before passing on my 5th try. u/

Will I be so rusty I’ll crash it and have another thing my dad has to deal with when he gets home?

I got it under both armpits. Used once as my first ever Old Spice before going outside one Summer day and went I got home I noticed the discolouration, raised bumps, burning and itching. Never used Old Spice again.

At first the affected area was smaller but gradually ended up spreading to most of my armpits over time.

I did go to the doctor and got a steroid cream I believe which actually seemed to work, but as soon as the 2 weeks where I was supposed to stop using the medication, it came back eventually.

I still deal with the discolouration, my armpit hairs definitely don’t grow as much as they used to as most of the areas covered by the burns aren’t able to grow hair anymore apparently.

I still deal with occasional intense itchiness in my armpits which I scratch for relief. Other than that, my life is normal. I plan to go back to the doctor soon to eventually really get a name of what I suffered actually is. Whether it’s an allergic reaction, burn, fungal infection etc.
