What printers/equipments do I need?

Hi, I am making a board game that has the use of a bunch of cards, I am past the prototype and testing and I want to start making a "sellable" product, that I can take to fairs and events.

So, to make it as affordable as possible, I want to print out my cards (for the prototype I went to a company), I have never done this before, so I want to know a few things.

What type of printer should I use, what type of paper, ink etc.

I'm guessing I need the equipment that laminates and the thing that does precision cutting.

Is there anything else I'm missing?

Any tips on how to cut back on costs would be appreciated, I want to have a list of everything that is necessary for a quality product, so I can later do a cost analysis (to see if its worth it for a side project).

Anime Recommendation

Just finished Somali and the Forest spirit, and realized the manga and anime have been discontinued due to the creator not being well. So I have this weird feeling of unfulfillment..

Everytime I have asked for an recommendation here, I always leave with one anime I end up really liking, so I am going to make it very exhaustive in the hopes I will get a new fave here.

Here's a list of some of the anime I have seen and liked (with a small tier-list, remember 1 means I like it, just not as much as the ones on this list), please just recommend me an anime, it feels like every time someone posts a tier-list there's an endless discussion on it, this is my personal taste, we are probably going to have different tastes, please recommend accordingly.

Dragon Ball (and Z) - 5

Naruto (and Shippuden) - 5

Frieren - 5

To your Eternity - 5

JJK - 5

Vinland - 5

Twelve Kingdoms - 4 (Could have been higher if it wasn't discontinued)

Demon Slayer - 4

Grimgar - 3 (Could have been higher if it wasn't discontinued)

Somali and the Forest Spirit - 3 (Could have been higher if it wasn't discontinued)

My Hero Academia - 3

Ranma 1/2 -3

Dan Da Dan - 3

One Punch Man - 2

Terra Formars - 1 (Basing it on the manga, anime was unwatchable)

Solo Levelling - 1

Considering this, and the following criteria:

  1. No lolis
  2. No harem
  3. Please something either finished or ongoing so I don't go trough the same thing I went with Somali and the Forest Spirit.

Hopeful of some good recommendations.

Made an About:Me forcing me to use Pokemon from gen 4 onward

Gen 1 was special for me, and every time I do these lists, I end up just picking gen 1 pokemon, slathered a bit with some gen 2.

So I decided to make a list, ignoring gen 1-3 (Which are the games I played as a kid), skipped dynamax, megas, regional variants because taking out gen 1-3 I was left with little to no choice.

In case there wasn't enough, another About: Me

I can't choose an overrated pokemon, every Pokemon deserves a top spot, even you Luvdisc.

I was going to put in personal story Charizard, but it was just gonna be a Zard grid, because it was the first starter I had, named him Henry, and every time I play with a charmander I name him Henry (Or Henrietta) in honor of my first.

But I chose Heracross because he was my first proper shiny, caught him playing PokeMMO full odds.

Question about bad taste after getting a tooth crown.

So, some months ago I had a tooth canal treatment, and apparently the cavity was deep inside my gums, so the dentist I went to (an aquaintance so it was pretty cheap) told me since it was so deep there might be issues.

So this weird taste started appearing in my mouth and it is comming from beneath the crown, I went to the dentist to check it out and she told me that the crown leaves like a sort of gap where saliva and food can enter and she just told me to have good hyegiene (I have a normal toothbrush, a gum toothbrush, one of those tiny toothbrushes for brackets, so I can clean inside, and I use a small plastic syringe to "inject" water and sometimes mouthwash near the area, so my tooth washing routine has been very extensive in that area)

Thing is, I had my other wisdom teeth removed the other day, and the surgeon inspected the area and I told him what was going on, and he told me that I might need to get another crown, because I should not have to do all that to keep the tooth clean, which it doens't because I still get the taste, and I'm tired of chewing (non-sugar) gum to mask the taste.

So, I might just try to save and ask another professional to do the crown, maybe pay a bit more for a better job, but at the same time, it might all be the same because of how deep the cavity went, so another option is to lose the tooth and that's it.

So, I'm asking two things,

  1. How long can I wait to change the crown? Like before there is damage or something.

  2. Is there any temporary solution so I can get rid of the bad taste?

Slow-paced fantasy anime recommendation

That, anybody can recommend a good slow-paced fantasy anime? Somewhat like Frieren but does not have to be exactly like Frieren, I need something tolkeniesque, the slower the anime the better.

Please pitch the anime without spoiling, if you don't just drop a name or an anime name list it would be appreciated.
