Good point

Is your grandmother single too?

Good point

Is your grandmother single too?

Yes actually. But she might forget your name 10 minutes after meeting you

 

[Manko-sensei]

Do you practice any sport to prevent your body from dying in front of your Personal Computer?

 

[Bartolumiu]

Alright, grab your popcorn. You lot certainly didn't hold back. Let's get through this before the servers catch fire again.

CAKE OR PIE?

Cake. Did you not read the 8th-anniversary announcement? We literally ate cake while surviving the Great Purge. Pie is just a fruit soup trying to be a pastry.
Alright, now the real answer:
Neither, this is much better -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pantxineta (info here: https://sansebastianturismoa.eus/en/food-drink/8305-pantxineta-basque-dessert/)
And, if you want to be fancy: https://www.recipetineats.com/basque-cheesecake/

So, about the new comment feature...

Now, seriously, are you both a mod and a dev? I thought devs wouldn't do moderator work

I wear many hats. Sometimes I wield the banhammer to smite the wicked, and sometimes I push spaghetti code directly to production and break the site. It’s called being a renaissance man. (Also, yes, the line between mod and dev here is blurrier than a 240p scanlation).
P.S. The entire Ministry vs Resistance event backend? That was me... the "chapter x" detection that every ESL user completely ignores? also me (my initial suggestion completely prevented chapter uploads as long as it detected the pattern, but management said no sadly)... the BookLive button in title entries? also yours truly... the new comments? that... wasn't me (I submitted a bunch of fixes tho)

-what skills have you developed as a moderator that you could see helping you in your (future) career?

-what was it like growing up in the 1950s?

-have any of your bans ever looked like this?:

1. Advanced babysitting, herding cats, and the ability to type "Please read the FAQ" in 14 different tones of passive-aggression.
2. The 1950s were great. CSS hadn't been invented yet, so I didn't have to worry about centering divs.
3. Nope, but if I had a DexCoin for every time I've dropped the hammer while looking like I could buy the entire Ministry of Truth...

Fuck, marry, kill but you can only pick people from the staff team, go

Nice try, HR...
But if you must know:
Marry: The database. It requires constant attention, gets upset when I don't treat it right, but holds all my precious memories. Kill: Myself, for agreeing to this AMA.
F***: My sleep schedule. It's been taking a beating for years anyway.

Anyways, what got you into MangaDex?

The classic pipeline. I just wanted to read some obscure, slightly questionable manga without dealing with 47 pop-up ads about single milfs in my area. I started reporting missing covers, and somehow ended up with the keys to the asylum.

Would you kindly write a haiku in Basque that @EOTFOFYL would enjoy?

I am bound by unseen forces to only reply in English today, so you'll have to settle for a translated masterpiece capturing the true essence of my life:
Rain falls on the sea
Servers crash in the dark night
Where are my pintxos

What is your mother's credit card number, expiration date, and the three funny little numbers on the back of the card?

Unrelated, but is she single?

Card Number: 404-NOT-FOUND
Exp: 02/30
CCV: 418 (I'm a teapot)
Also, keep this up and you'll be sleeping in the yacht basement tonight, Grog

Who is your favorite Roland out of @DavidianMillerian, @bigtiddyoneesan, and myself.

My favorite Roland is the one who actually touches grass. Since none of you qualify, you all tie for last place.

What is the character in your pfp?

Mia, from RE:united!
Series URL here: https://mangadex.org/title/fb6d9239-e641-4654-9c57-61a1f696aa33/re-united

Anyway, Barto-baachan, have you taken your meds today?

I swallowed them dry the second I saw Grogzilla enter this thread.

What's the afterlife like?

(You did say to only ask questions I'd ask my grandma).

I applaud the loophole usage (pretty clever). It just looks like a blank page that just says 502 Bad Gateway

What's your favourite outdoor activity?

Walking to the nearest cafe to acquire more caffeine. Does that count as hiking?

How often do you make #comments and which is your favourite?

Too often. My favourite is whichever one manages to silence the thread for more than five minutes

I have a suggestion based on this thread by @Edo4169 :

Spoiler

It would be nice if we could bookmark individual pages or just chapters and add them to a list within MD. Like that'd be a great feature which I'm sure many will appreciate. Even if it's only stored locally it'd be cool. You don't have to make to make this overnight but can you like try to get it on a suggestion list or something?
Actually, it would be better if you ask whomever is in charge and once you get a greenlight, let me know first so that I can make a thread and get maybe two or three likes hehehe.

Go put it in the Mainsite Suggestions subforum so I can officially ignore it over there instead of in my AMA thread
Alright, now being serious, pls create a post over there with the suggestion so people can comment on the idea...

Optional questions (yes, the others are mandatory):
Please tell us a bedtime story.

Once upon a time, there was a user who used the search bar before posting their question. The servers rejoiced, the staff slept for 8 hours, and everyone lived happily ever after. The end.

Nami or Dex-chan?

Dex-chan. I'm legally obligated to say this because she pays my non-existent salary and is currently standing behind my chair holding a crowbar.

What's your favourite emote?

A solid tie between and since they convey 99% of my daily emotions while reviewing the mod queues.

Do you practice any sport to prevent your body from dying in front of your Personal Computer?

Interesting.
You forgo the entry drug manga/anime question tho. What was your real introduction to this world, which made you seek out it specifically in the past?

[athayanezant]

Mr. @Bartolumiu I have a bunch of questions because I love to ask people, but I'll just pull out 3 questions here.

1. what's your currently read manga?
2. hags or lolis?
3. who's your favourite staff? (staffs, moderators, devs, etc, you can't say yourself)

random question:
if you have an ability to slap people online, what kind of people that might gonna taste your wrath?
[it's okay if you want to leave this question unanswered, it's just my curiosity kicking in]

extra:
