The Pokemon of the Opera is There
Inside your Pokeball. This show is far better than it had any right to be.
(What the heck are you doing with embedded start times, YouTube? Stop that. Oh. Never mind. Fixed now.)
Speaking of Merc Storia, the anime covered five quests out of, I think, 43 in the source material. They could do another two seasons without even revisiting the same countries. Unfortunately the game itself is Japanese-language only, so while it will happily run on my tablet I have no idea what I'm doing.

It seems like li-ion batteries are one of the things it's worth not buying the cheapest one you can find. If you buy a genuine Dell or HP battery and it blows up, you can sue them. Good luck trying that from Hoodoo or Frobar or whatever the goofy six-letter-named company of the week is.

We've been buying those little Shuttles for years, and they're great dev machines for people who need to connect to test hardware (2 serial ports where NUCs have 0). Also great little firewalls and IT servers ("we opened a new office where? and their 'server room' is a broom closet?").
