For parts at least. Once you enter that churning mass at the front it's kind of hard to predict where you'll end up.
i've only been to local gigs i've never been to anything large
Anno
I don't think this was anything large either. I went to a Billy Talent concert with my brother and dad way back when I was in middle school, that was at a sports arena-big. Wasn't even really my kind of music but hey, free concerts.

>>136003 The last Boris show, I was getting hammered by idiots in the crowd, and it got a bit hard to stay up. I actually stuck my elbow out at a couple people who didn't get the message. I know how it gets, and I've seen smaller people hold better than I have. But yeah, you tend to get moved no matter how large you are.
So many fond memories... Like holding the crowd off some girl next to me while losing my pants and trying to stay upright.

I really wish twitter had a function that let you see how people ended up on your profile I know that this function would be about as good for privacy as the NSA is, but it'd be cool to know how people found my account when all they did was like a tweet that had 0 retweets, reply to it, and follow me

Well there's very little, though some, naval in it, but you should give 33 Strategies of War a read or listen sometime
It's less about the history and more about breaking down the strategies involved, but it's still giving you a bunch of interesting military and political history It mentions how some US politician used all the criticism against him to his benefit because his critics went too far and criticized stuff that was so banale he could turn it into a joke I think it was Roosevelt, but I'm not sure
Kirara☆
Is it a book?
sk
Yeah But I have it on audiobook
Kirara☆
I'll check it out I can grab the audiobook on audible
Actually I think there's only one or two naval examples so far in the book, and neither are really about the maritime nature of it, so don't get your hopes up in that department

Oh Kirara, since I have absolutely no regard for your professional life whatsoever, when you finish DeSu2 and you find yourself wanting to play another game I recommend, you should pick up Berseria.
Maria
He should finish DeSu1 Demon control route best route, nippon strong
>>136127 I tried replaying DeSu1 in the form of overclock and I forgot how bad it was
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
Playing DeSu1 without anything else before it is fine, but once you play DeSu2, it just doesn't compare. Everyone is just inferior to their 2 counterparts, the story is slow and you don't get most of the characters to even come near you until you already pick a route.
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
And while in both games you can turn off the new english voices, at least most of the DeSu2 voices were passable. Midori's voice broke the camel's back for me in DeSu1 for how unfitting a choice they made for an INTERNET IDOL.
You've reminded me of when my mom said meme out loud and I wanted to explode.
Maria
>>136129 >>136130 Admittedly DeSu2 has social links and gameplay links, but I really prefer the story and time management in DeSu1. It's much more chaotic and the characters just barely scrape by. For my tastes, 2 was almost a little too power rangersish. I really liked how DeSu1s story was about taking the central problem of a demon invasion and exploring how society and the angels reacted to it.
>>136138 I found I had four people on my team for most of the game.
The story is super slow in DeSu1, and there's even a time skip function in that game for some reason? I also seriously dislike that they give you enough party slots to have 4 teams, but because of PLOT you only have 3 humans on you for like 90% of the game.
For the first two days or so you only have // Ah. My bad, you do get 4 for a lot of stuff but you don't ever really get to choose. You mostly have either Keisuke or Midori depending on which one of them is being an idiot at the time. >>136140 There is a lot of exploring the ruins of an attacked Tokyo and whatnot, which while world building, is very slow. A lot of your time events early on are mostly just text dumps rather than characters interacting.
Maria
I don't think the story is slow either but >opinions I like the first few days a lot where everyone's trying to figure out what the fuck's going on. It builds atmosphere. Like how they struggle to find simple things in the lockdown like bread and a powersource for the comps.
>>136141 DeSu2 is a faster paced game yeah. It's less about surviving and more about saving everyones day.
Admittedly one thing that might help pacing in DeSu2 is that, while in DeSu1 the government is working against you in a way, you team up with it in DeSu2 and they work with the plot that way.
Also Lucifer is way more busted of a fight than Alice. If you haven't completed the right endings first, you won't have the demons you need for the Lucifer fight.
Alice you can actually punch to death.
Kirara☆
I feel like desu2's pacing is a little too fast sometimes
Maria
I killed Lucifer with a strength build MC. Third healthbar was an absolute bitch though.
>>136146 I just had the MC focus on demon killing. And I personally don't use NG+ options to make the second run easier, though having the option is nice. DeSu1 fucked up by not having the compendium.
And that's where not turning off experience curve kills you! You're stuck fighting level 60 enemies until 99 and they give less and less EXP each level.
So congratulations on masochism I suppose. I just didn't have the patience.
Getting the ideal ending in DeSu1 is pretty hard too, and it's not one of the endings they expand upon in Overclocked either. Though it was probably a fine ending in its own right. And yes, it's the ending you referred to, I like that one the most.
I thought I asked you about all these newfags and you said Maria was Midori. >>136158 Gin and Haru's ending is hard because you can't miss anything regarding them since they all have some many times where they can die. But the ending you send all the demons away and PUNCH BABEL TO DEATH
Kirara☆
No way Maria is Maria
Maria
>>136161 >Haru It'd be so much easier if she wasn't so fucking depressed.
>sending them away >not controlling them You're no patriot!
>>136166 Which would you pick irl. I feel anything but sending them away would destabilise everything
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
It's very humanity.
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
>>136167 IRL? No idea. Metatron ending was p good but like you're kind of a puppet. But Gin/Haru's is probably the most ideal.
Maria
>>136169 Metatron was a pretty cool guy in this game, but I don't like having YHVH breathing down my neck.
>>136171 It's pretty much the best Law ending in smt.
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
I feel like Metatron's ending is the least "everyone is now a mindless worshipper of YHWH" of most Law-endings in SMT. Because you're the one leading humanity to worship YHWH and you deliver divine punishment, but you're still a person.
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
Imagine playing that ending and then playing Strange Journey's Law ending.
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
Which is what I did.
Maria
Same lol. I did law for SMTIV too. I actually wish the conflict between Gaea and the red pill yakuza was extended because it's more morally gray than the actual ending.
>>136175 What's the point of even having worshippers if it's not out of their own will.
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
>Everyone builds towers of babel forever because they have no minds
Kirara☆
i think chaos is always better than law but both are shit
Maria
Chaos just turns into law anyway once one guy gets strong enough. My favourite ending is the one in Nocturne where everyone gets their own personal bubble
Life is an endless whirlpool of books, ambiguity, and pain

Okay, it seems that there were some in the middle ages, and medieval era, but they mostly died out. The modern ones were created in the 20th century. Well, aside from like some really minor yhings that were done, but the term "ceremony" is a bit too strong for them.

>>136469 There aren't any big problems with my eyes other than bad eyesight. I had the eye doctor do a really thorough check on them last time I went because one of my pupils is bigger than the other and that can be a sign that something is wrong. He checked me really well and said it was probably just that the muscle on one of my eyes is weaker.
FormerRei@mobile
>>136470 Okay, I'm glad you went and got your eyes checked, but did you mention those light sensitivity symptoms?
>>136471 Hmm, I can't remember. I had the full checkup done on my eyes. I've had light-sensitive migraines all my life so if something were terribly wrong I would have dropped dead by now.
月
i used to have that problem really bad in my teens and early 20s i started taking things that help me sleep like melatonin or valerian root and i don't get migraines very often anymore
>>136473 this was more of a lifestyle change though and less of remedial treatment so you gotta weigh how much you want to be rid of migraines the light sensitivity too, i dont have that much anymore
I will if anything changes. It's been like this for as long as I can remember, I've always been very sensitive to light. The last time there was a big change in my eyes was that time I went to the eye doctor and got the full check up.
FormerRei@mobile
Oh man, my hradach right now is really bad. *headache One more thing, it could be a symptom of some otger issue rather than being just an eye issue.
>>136480 Well, when I noticed that my pupils were different sizes, I suggested to the eye doctor and my mom, who took me, that that was a symptom of a brain tumor. They both just laughed at me so I assumed I was just being paranoid. Either way, I've had light sensitivity for a long time so if something were really wrong I would have noticed it by now.
>>136482 i'd say that's probably just inflammation of the nerve that's causing the light sensitivity and migraines the inflamed nerve can make that happen

>>136506 That's how I fall asleep the fastest, I've found. But it's also really hard for me to wake up like that. My pillows also don't hurt my neck when I'm laying down like that, and actually, if I've got a headache, turning my head the right way can actually give me a bit of a pain alleviation.

Maria
>>136919 Yeah, it's partially subsidised, but mostly paid by parents
FormerRei@mobile
>>136928 In the US most private schools require uniforms and most public schools don't. There are some exceptions on both sides though.
Anno
I wouldn't know anything about private schools, but here most public schools allow students to dress in their own clothes, providing they follow the dress code. And even the ones that offer uniforms tend to do so in very generous formats. You're allowed to pick from an assortment of tops and bottoms from the school uniform-approved clothes.
Most private schools require uniforms, yes. It was a battle that raged at mine, we were one of the few in the city that did not require uniforms. We had a strict dress code, though.
Maria
>>136930 You see Australia is upside down and everything is backwards.
It might as well have had a uniform because half the girls dressed in the same way and all looked the same.

Google can also translate conversations. Which is even better.

FormerRei@mobile
>>137040 Yeah but the puns evaporate if Although if you kniw japanese and read sometjing google translated from jaoanese you might be able to figure out what ouns were there just from the translation
Anno
>>137039 The thing is, there isn't really a reason that a weeaboo, hardcore or otherwise, -needs- to learn the kana. Therefore shouldn't doesn't really fit. Learning the kana as a Western otaku is definitely beneficial and a commendable skill to learn, but is far from a requirement to enjoy Japanese media.
Breathing and understanding Japanese have very different levels of benefits. One grants continued existence, even though one can argue that the value of such is diminishing in return. The other gives me access to cute girls that aren't real.

>>137045 I meant "need" in the sense that saying "x needs y in order to z" and "X needs y" are two incredibly distinct statements. "X needs y" implies that X as a thingogicalky requires y in order to exist like for example "an animal needs to be a mammal in order for it to be a cow" a cow that is kot a mammallogically cannot exist. >>137048 Yeah I know you knew, but thefe are a few people on right now who havent heard me do this thing before.

Yo but I got an important conversation with a pal going on somewhere else I just stopped by, sorry but I gotta skedaddle already

>>137089 The app is probably inclined to give literal sentences to ensure there is as close to one correct answer as possible. Japanese and English don't really transfer between each other well because of contextualization and the absence of a Japanese "to be" verb.
>>137091 Wait, what about に します ? Or am i just spouting monsense due to lack of sleep at this point

There are analogues, but there is nothing in the Japanese language as ubiquitous and multi-purpose as the English "to be" and all its conjugations.
FormerRei@mobile
Okay the baby stopped cruing, i will attempt to 夢 の 国 に いこう。

For example, I always see my Japanese friends go in English "I go to the store/I go to bed" and sentences like that. Which while proper sentences, are clunky to native English. Because it's unintuitive to them to use "am" and conjugating "go" in accordance to that.
http://www.guidetojapanese.org/learn/ He tackles teaching Japanese from a different approach from the usual. Mainly by not teaching you how to speak in the polite ~masu speech right off the bat and forcing Kanji on you from pretty much lesson two. Though it looks like Duolingo also hits you with Kanki, -Kanji, so it got that right. He also has a very comprehensive guide on Japanese grammar and learning the mechanical how-to on constructing Japanese sentences. A lot of Japanese lesson material I've found, teaches you useful phrases and then probably hopes the grammar is something you'll learn by osmosis. Instead, his stuff instills the grammar first and then teaches you how to make your sentences accordingly. It's pretty interesting.

Namasensei is entertaining and is pretty good for memorizing the look of the kana, but he doesn't really teach accurate stroke order. Which in fairness, if that last bit is unnecessary to your education, means he's a pretty good beginner's tool.
Looking up the Kanji for "sexual innuendo and then looking at the Kanji's meaning by flipping the translate in Google Translate leads to a rather strange result.
I've been kind of wondering if I want to try my hand at an MMO with FFXIV. It's been so long since I played an MMO so I dunno. Probably won't happen, but it's been stewing in the back of my brain for a bit.
That's why I like FFXIV. like 90% of it is single player until you hit the level cap. It's just like a single player RPG with multiplayer dungeons, the structure is fun to me Plus you can play it with a controller, which is much more comfortable to me. Also you can make your character a ripped 9ft dragonboy
>>137137 haha all the hate for these stupid fucking spinning toys i don't understand why they're so popular but every kid in the fuckin neighborhood is clamoring for them i've basically mastered presenting all 6 colors to kids instantaneously we sold like 20 of them today

Samurai !KW2DbpWwls
i GOTTA have that GREEN
Anno
My sister got one, since she's decided she could self-diagnose herself with AD(H)D. Though in her defense she got it on sale, from the store she works at where she gets a discount on top of that. So eh, at least she's not shelling out the absurd price they go for.
i had one mexican lady come in looking distraught with like 4 little kids in tow and she was just like "excuse me, do you have the fidget spinner" i told her the price and she let out the softest most surprised "oh!" then turned and said something to her children in spanish and zoomed out that door
Anno
>>137114 Namasensei is good for the kana and motivation, but he should be ditched asap. In the te-form video, for example, he doesn't understand that ru verbs have their own conjugation rule, so he conjugates 食べる into 食べって
Then he says that って and て are basically the same so you can just remember it all as て if it's easier. He makes a bunch of little mistakes like that.
>>137144 Little things like fidget spinners can help with some strands of ADD, since keeping hands busy with something can assist in focusing. But at the same time you can just learn to spin your pen/pencil or get a foam ball for two bucks and squeeze that. Or learn a useless skill like solving a Rubik's cube without looking at it. The fidget spinner fad is capitalizing on the stupid notion that every kid has ADD or how people love to self-diagnose themselves these days. I mean all power to the manufacturers but it's annoyingly inane to me.
>>137145 Yeah, there's that too. Still, learning to internalize stroke orders can be a very useful tool when looking at handwritten Japanese. It's not as relevant with the kana, but building that skill early and reinforcing it is never a bad idea.
i wish i was better at pen spinning it's kind of fun
Anno
>>137146 I actually never bothered with stroke order, I learned the rule of thumb about it being top-down left-right by radical, but that's it. I don't read grass kanji though so it's never been important to know stroke order. I had a teacher who lived in Japan for a pretty long while, is fluent, and married a Japanese women, and he never bothered with it either. He's also left-handed though so he can't write Japanese according to legend.
Anno
What does being left-handed have to do with writing Japanese accordingly? I'm left-handed and I've never had problems like that.
Anno
>>137149 In Japan, caligraphy is a sacred art that you have to do with your right hand, so left-handed people are thought to not be able to write kanji properly.
Wow on Friday dame ningen actually hit the guy who isn't entirely normal in the head, in the head with a broom, while also saying something along the lines of him being good for nothing
>>137363 The first time I had slept on a plane was quite recently, and I only really managed to sleep for like an hour. The people next to me were super quiet and listening to their own music and I was listening to mine. I can sleep on a bridge going over the freeway but not on a plane going through turbulence.
FormerRei@mobile
This flight is either an hour and a half or two and a half hours. Not sure if the arrival time is given in central or eastern.

Sleeping on a plane is always difficult for me It's so uncomfortable
Anno
I find it really easy to nod off on planes. Even if I have something on hand like a book or vidya to focus on, I always end up asleep if the plane ride is long enough. Something about the rocking motion does a really good job of lulling me to sleep.
But at the same time, since I never sleep comfortably in strange locations, it's hardly restful sleep.
FormerRei@mobile
I find it difficult to sleep basically anywhere.
FormerRei@mobile
Well, if i go off my meds i dont have ttrouble falling asleep but I will have other problems....
FormerRei@mobile
Bbl arrived at airport
rook
>>137368 It's possible I just haven't been on a long enough plane ride
Anno
Well "long enough" is variable here, hah hah. Some times even during an hour-long flight, I can drift off. But other times I can stay awake during a full 2.5-3 hour flight.
I slept most of the way to Japan last winter for example, but I stayed up for about half the flight home before finally succumbing to sleep.
Boss lady said she's gonna deal with this whole broom thing Actually excited I wanna see this faggot taken down a peg or two
In an ideal world he would be removed from society

If you find yourself in a fight with gorillas a nd you use conventional methods to fight them, you are playing into their hands
Anno
If you find yourself in a fight with gorillas, you're either doing exactly what you intended to do, or are thinking "how the FUCK did things turn out this way?"

Oh Christ, Trump's in Israel now. That stupid fuck is going to really mess shit up there if he says just the wrong things (which he almost certaonky will). Uggggh, i really hope tthe terrorism incident rate doesnt go uo because im probably going there next year.

Iron Man's a really good movie.
FormerRei@mobile
>>137382 "Really good" is a bit strong but it was certainly above average in quality.
Maria
>>137383 I think most Marvel movies are above average. They're samey but taken as individual movies they're very well made.
>>137385 Yeah. I thought it was pretty funny. Guardians 2 was excellent. It manages to give character arcs to like 7 different people in one 2 hour movie.

I'd definitely consider DDeadpool to be amongst the top five comicbook adaptations Ive ever seen.
>>137390 Watchmen (begrudgingly aas it was not as ttrue to ttge comic as i would like) Batman Begins The Dark Knight A History of Violence Not sure about the last one not that i have those in any order Maybe V for Vendetta >>137392 Why would you see it without having seen tthe first one?
Wait, I llisted 5 others, that list minus V for Vendetta is my tip five comic movie list. Although there are some good ones i have not seen. Like GGhost World.
Maria
>>137391 I thought the Dark Knight was the first one in tat continuity
He got a "written warning" What a punk bitch our boss is
