From the e-mail, if they don't sell 500+ sets, books "would likely go to a print-on-demand service like IngramSpark, or KDP. The quality of those books is inferior, may not match your current paperbacks perfectly, and the price to would be the same, if not *more*." So order now!

@Crunchyroll Any chance we can get a language filter on the simulcast calendar one day? It's great that you offer so many languages, but having to scroll through them to find the one I want among many (15 for Overgeared!) would be avoided if we could filter by language.

@Crunchyroll Related, as long as we can't filter by language, can you at least make sure that every episode on the simulcast calendar does have a language? It's even harder to find the right one when every episode has the same title and no language specified.

@Crunchyroll No English subtitles on Tomb Raider King (Japanese) episode 12 despite being released 10 hours ago? Missing subs is never great, but it's worse for a season finale. :( Also, my watchlist doesn't want to display, so you should look into that as well.

@Crunchyroll It looks like the same problem of no English subs affects the new Prince of Tennis series, too, for its premiere episode. Not doing so hot today, huh? What's going on? I can't catch/keep up without the English subs. Please fix this.

@fillitforward Was something changed about status tiers? I had been at level 4, even after I lost my original streak :( but the app is now reporting me at tier 1 with 0 streak days and 0 badges, which are both wrong. Maybe a bug in the app? Could you check on this? Thanks.

@fillitforward FYI, I'm now seeing a "no status" message. Is it safe to assume you're working on getting this corrected, so we'll be placed in the correct tier again?

I've been listening to the free monthly version of Living the Tao: A Spiritual Podcast for a while and caught up on everything, so I subscribed to get the weekly version and complete backlog. Use my referral link to listen to one premium episode free: living-the-tao.supercast.com…

@UPS Can you explain why you've had a package for 11 days and haven't moved it at all? This should have been delivered by now, but it's apparently still sitting at the origin nearly 2 weeks later without any ETA for delivery. What's wrong? Did you lose it or something?

@UPS Approaching 3 weeks of this package sitting at the origin facility, not moving. What the heck is going on? I'd like an explanation, because this is unacceptable otherwise.

Under 24 hours left in the #PNP #game Trial by Fire by Josselin Loizeau @Kickstarter at kickstarter.com/projects/jos… and more stretch goals to unlock. Up to 180 quests with tactical depth and high replayabillity, balancing survival with greed, for only $3 -- check it out soon!

Trial by Fire, via @Kickstarter kickstarter.com/projects/jos… could use some help unlocking the highest level stretch goals. If we raise enough money, we can get a campaign mode and maybe even a year-long adventure. As a print-and-play #PNP #game, it's low cost, so check out out!

I don't think @ExaltedFuneral is active here, but it looks like the flash sale on Monty Python #RPG items that ended Friday was really a clearance sale. None of it's listed anymore. :( Glad I ordered what I was missing, but sad that the whole line practically just disappeared.

The new video player on @Crunchyroll has some issues: just started Rent-a-Girlfriend S5 E1, and the "skip recap" button has been on for 1 minute, blocking subtitles in the corner due to way the screen is split to show multiple scenes at the start. Maybe fade it out faster?

And the @Crunchyroll new player switched over to a "skip intro" button once the recap was done, so I've had a button sitting there in the corner for a full 3 minutes now. 😒 Again, maybe fade it out faster?

@fillitforward Are you aware of problems with your Android app? Last 2 giving project complete messages crash the app if I open them, 3rd back is missing delete option, and home screen reuse tracker numbers are hidden behind their text labels. Please fix in next update. Thanks.

@fillitforward Your app got updated today, and while opening messages no longer crash the app, I still can't delete the project complete ones in my inbox. Also, tracker numbers are still hidden behind their text, at least for week and month. Please fix these bugs, too. Thanks.

It looks like @Crunchyroll has changed their video player and a lot of people don't like it (see, for example, reddit.com/r/Crunchyroll/com…). Hopefully they're seeing the complaints and planning to address them, especially since I don't remember notice or reason being given for this.

It appears to have taken several hours, but @Crunchyroll seems to be working again. I should have enough time tonight to finish catching up today, but I would have been current hours ago if it weren't for site problems. 😐

Yesterday, 3 #anime on @Crunchyroll had no English subtitles, 1 for 12+ hours, 1 for 24+ hours. Just now, the site glitched, stopping me from watching new releases even though I'm a paid subscriber. And soon they're going to charge more (at least at my level). 😠 Not good.

Check out @thegamecrafter's crowd #sale of @warclawgames's Flails & Citadels Pocket, a small-sized stand-alone expansion to Doom Pilgrim Pocket. The #game's easy to learn but hard to win. More purchases = lower price, so order soon and help us get a bigger discount!
