Bai Yulu retains the UK Women's Championship (Women).
John Higgins is taking some time off snooker to have a holiday, meanwhile Luca Brecel is taking some time off his holiday to do some snooker.

Anime.

This is a typical /147/ "GOAT discussion", so it's obviously /sp/ related.

I assumed that Polebro, Austriaboy and Latvia all look like this. The Irish posters wear fedoras and Matrix trenchcoats. Germany looks like one of Kraftwerk. That's what I imagine you all look like.

>>150622953
Gdynia Open returns when?

I'm sorry what

Right after reading this, I scrolled through /v/ and someone posted a picture from a game called Little Witch in the Woods. I played the demo once, so I decided to check on Steam whether it's finally out of Early Access and released properly.
And when I did, pic related. (It's not out of EA yet, by the way.)
How does this happen so often? You hear a word and think to yourself "haven't heard this word in years", and then on the same day you see/hear it again, from a completely different, unrelated source.

Alas, the sunny side is down.

Time for snooker. And ordering some important things. A new Hako just appeared on one of the auction sites I check everyday. Now I need to find some more to justify the shipping price.

Baader Meinhof phenomenon/frequency illusion

Bacher zested himself very nicely here. He had to do it himself, because McGill is pretty bad right now.

>>150647610
>illusion
Ah, the Faaget Meingott phenomenon also known as "if I can't explain it, I'll call it an illusion/mental illness".
I'm rather particular about words and even people in foil hats could envy my power to Notice in that area. There's simply no way I'm imagining things.

What a catastrophe. At least McGill is in, but only because Bacher is out.
