My philosophy with anime at this point is "If the show doesn't get you interested by the first midcard, there are plenty other things you can use the time for and enjoy more" I could just play a video game instead with the time Or watch another anime
Maria
There's been a few times where an anime dragged its feet for the first few episodes but the later payoff made it worth it Imo
sk
Yeah, but those usually float to the top so I can pick them up later I'm really picky with my anime nowadays
For example, if it reminds me too much of this, I ditch it without looking closer I can tell from the image alone I won't actually enjoy this, and the text isn't helping
Maria
>>143980 I usually tune out when I hear the words "light novel"
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
Tag it with "harem" and it flies out of the window instantly
This is likely a shirobako with a bit toned down drama, likely done to a lower quality than shirobako So scrapped, because I don't really feel like watching a watered down shirobako
Maria
Well I mean P.A Works did make Shirobako And Shirobako was amazing
This one I actually did try because I wanted to see if it could be worth it after seeing art of one of the characters But if not for that art, automatic trashcan anime It's a x amount of archetypes do nothing and are about as deep as my toilet bowl show
sk
and of course, anything that's clearly just there to sell toys, like beyblade or whatever goes
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
and mecha is 95% automatically crap
sk
Mecha can be accepted, but the art has to at least look OK I don't care about the artstyle too much, but if it looks generic it's probably shit
It's a fucking minefield getting to me for anime, but that means I only end up watching shows I like, and I spend time I would use watching worse anime on video games Or panicking about something, but that's just what I do
Maria
Mecha can either hold a large amount of artistic freedom or none Sometimes the men in suits will say "yeah do whatever just so long as there's a mecha on screen every few episodes" Sometimes they'll meddle a lot though and put on weird restrictions. Like when Tomino made Victory Gundam they had to do this weird media res thing because the suits demanded the Victory Gundam was on screen in the first episode
Magical Girl stuff, too, I basically ignore out of hand
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
Also watching stuff as it airs is just hell
sk
I gave this an episode and it wasn't interesting whatsoever The whole episode i was uninterested and waiting for something to happen that would make it interesting But they left me at a cliffhanger for next episode, promising it will deliver, so I dropped it
Maria
>>143993 >there are people who restrict themselves solely to currently airing anime Must be hell
sk
And this is a show I just don't think I'll like for no particular reason I'm like 95% sure Rika likes it though
I dunno if she's ever mentioned it, but I'm pretty sure she likes this show
Basically, anything that looks like K-On or Lucky Star, looks generic, or looks too much like whatever >>143996 this is I already watched K-On, and every attempt of cloning it has been unenjoyable I watched Lucky Star, a copy will never be good
Maria
What about Hidamari Sketch?
sk
>>144000 Hidamari Sketch is super old though, and I make exceptions for it
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
Basically point here is, that trying to be one of the "classic" moe animes, without adding anything new to the table is just waste of time. You can watch it, or you can rewatch something you know you like
Maria
>>144001 >2007 Wow I thought that was way more recent.
sk
I get why people like them I just get bored because I've already seen Hinako Note and whatever next season's Hinako Note is I've already seen the show before, it was just visually different
Maria
Writing a good sol show must be hard You've gotta make basc human interactions and conversations cute and interesting
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
I think in terms of moesol last good one was gochiusa or kinirio
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
Well gabdrop was good, but that is more of a gag animu than just moesol
sk
If, at a glance, the show doesn't seem to have more to offer than the characters and their personalities, you can safely ditch it You already saw it before It's the same show each season Hinako Note and GuchiUsa is practically the same as far as I know
There's a few girls with some slight abnormalities in their personalities, and they do a day to day routine, and there are things that happen around that, but nothing ever gets more serious than that time the Moogs stole Mio's strawberry
That one girl in Bunnycafe is some sort of operator, the MC in hinako note is some autist savant who likes birds, one eats books You can swap them around and I doubt the audience would realize
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
Pretty much
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
And you can then watch it later when you are bored ifyou want to see somehting cute but no point prioritising it when there is something better and fresh available
sk
I mean obviously they'd notice if you did it mid show But if you swapped characters around before airing it, would anyone notice? Would anyone go "hey, this character seems a bit out of place, don't they?" when they see the blue haired girl eating a book in the bunny cafe? If the bunny and the girl it rides around on were in hinako note, would they at all be out of place?
Yuu
>>143996 I do like that show, yes. I like much of what is airing this season.
Maria
I can't remember the last seasonal anime I watched to completion
I believe we all have an instinct after watching this much anime We can detect the shows we'll like without having to put too much effort into it
I don't read the synopsis on the chart if I'm not already interested Because the system barely ever fails, dude
Maria
http://anichart.net/Summer-2017 What are YOU going to be watching this summer?
I'm excited for the new Cardcaptor Sakura animation I'll try Knights and Magic because I'll try literally anything with mecha
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>144014 yeah I picked at glance warau, zouroku and tanukis as shows i will watch at some point only one that I am still watching as it airs is zouroku though warau didn't seem like something I wanna watch once per week
sk
18if I'll watch Isekai shoukudo or whatever I'll give an episode probably Jigoku Shoujo I won't respect anyone who skips over I'll give Keppeki an episode Made in Abyss looks interesting Shoukokou altair thingie is getting an episode reflection gets an episode, but is likely bad
And that's that season
Only really excited by 18if and abyss, though
Everything not on this list I'm not even giving a second look
I should read the synopsis for these shows, probably, but I'll do that tomorrow
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
new game, reflection, isekai shokudou, vatican, made in abyss, centaur those seem watchworthy or interesting but I doubt I will follow anything as it airs
sk
You can tell a lot about a show by the promo art People seem to think "oh you can't judge a show by the promo art", but they're incorrect These things are made by people whose only job is to make these things and make them convey the show's spirit
So once you've seen a fair amount of them, you know what all the things mean
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>144019 Yeah that is like saying "you can't judge a movie by the trailer"
sk
The trailer can be more difficult, but usually that's also possible to infer a lot from
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
All promotional material exists to ensnare people to watch it or atleast the target audience if the promotional material doesn't tug at you, you most likely aren't target audience
sk
The War Machine trailer had me fooled But I think that might have been deliberate
TN !PcAPtAiNJo

sk
It's important for peace of mind to realize that most of the media out there is actually pretty terrible It's also important to realize that you can enjoy terrible things
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
Horror moviesssss!
Maria
>>144026 There's nothing better than watching shitty 90s horror ovas while drunk
sk
And some things are only good because of the time they came out Some things were fantastic when they came out and terrible now because they were a reflection of the time In 50 years, a super hero parody movie like Deadpool won't make any sense And it wouldn't 50 years ago either Only now does such a movie make any sense
Maria
I think Deadpool works as both a parody and its own movie
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>144028 No, watching just general horror horror is best omedy
sk
>>144030 Deadpool's entire character only makes any sense when contrasted with other classical super heroes Without them, he's just a powerful wacky dude With the contrast, he is more
Maria
>>144032 People will still know what super heroes are. The comedy still works even if you're not a super hero fan
>>144051 I mean a lot of HS sol doesn't really make sense because you never see them go to class or study or anything In university there's more room for the characters just fucking about and living without their parents
Anno
>>144052 The art style looks like it adapts pretty well.
>>144053 This is very true. I spent more time outside of class than in class, and didn't study, but you could do a whole arc where people need to study for a test and keep getting invited to party.
Anno
>>144053 I never studied or anything in high school. Just because a show is showing slices of life from a high school student's perspective, doesn't mean it is obligated to show scenes from the actual high school.
Maria
>>144055 Most nips do. I'm not saying it's obligated to show that stuff, I'm just saying that setting it in a university gives a bit more freedom.
>>144054 We could do a whole episode on not going to lectures and lying about how much you study whenever your parents ring up
>>144054 Do you read Grand Blue? It's a manga about a bunch of university students and I feel there are chapters you might appreciate very much, considering this post.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
All dem alcoholic characters you could throw in an universe setting
Anno
And the ones that consume so much alcohol it should technically be considered a problem.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
Throw in a quick "exchange moment in finland" and you have sooo much fu nyou could have.
Maria
We could have two characters, one that's always sober and one that's always drunk, and then in the last episode the twist is that they're actually the same person
Anno
>>144058 I'll start. Might be nice to have something to do on break at work.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>144062 You'd have to have people presuming they are siblings and a quite good voice actor to pull it
>>144074 Yeah I read that the original manga was based on the own mangakas experience in university pretty neato that he went to school with anno and gave him his signature

I'm mad because it's gonna cost 280$ to get my ps4 fixed even though it shouldn't be broken and we're past the warranty
Irritated because my best friend doesnt want to hang out because he is tired, even though he probably slept over 6 hours in naps today already.

It's complicated thoygh, but at the very least they forced me to take time off after a stressful semester (it was also my best semester GPA wise). >>144140 They forced me to take time off and then wouldnt let me go back. The rest is complicated though.
>>144138 >wouldn't let me go back That does sound complicated
🌙
Do you mean didn't pay for you to go back?
FormerRei@mobile
>>144142 Sort of, it wasn't "we wont ever pay for you to go back" but "we wont pay for you to go back right now" and then sometimes "we would pay for you ti go back but dont have the money right now" and has cycled between them. >>144144 Because they forced me to take time off in the first place when I had almost all A's.

My otouto had to take some time off too. His grades were atrocious his first year.

i can't keep telling myself there's some sort of future ahead of me that's worth hanging on for I don't believe it anymore

i feel that way too but it's easier just to ride it out i haven't hit a dead end yet and i've hit some pretty low points
sk
there's nothing to ride out there's nothing on the other end there's where I am now, and that's it
I don't think I'll ever get my shit together and since I know that already I feel like giving up on everything, especially this whole work thing because the only purpose of being there is getting my shit together, and if I never will, why am I going
月
giving up really is kind of a chore iti's easier just to do the motions
sk
it's fucking meaningless

I'm not entirely sure I can give up In a way, giving up requires I ever tried, and I'm not comfortable saying I ever tried
Anno

月
>>144184 the way you talk about it i can tell you haven't because you make it sound like it's the easy way out and it isn't it's more work than anything else you've ever done and it's a big giant chore and i've been procrastinating on it for so long that i forgot about it
FormerRei@mobile

all i'd have to do is stop wasting all my free time and id be fine but i never do that I can say I will, but I won't actually cause im a fucking failure, with a failure mindset

Anno
>>144188 you're only a failure because of that mindset though
sk
i have the mindset because I'm a failure it's a circle
I got here on my own, and then I probably gave up, and now I'm here pretending I never gave up and refusing to accept reality And I'm always feeling like I'm under some ofrm of pressure >>144201 I did I'm getting a psych appointment I didn't ask him for anything, he wouldn't be the one to prescribe them anyway
>>144198 did you talk to your doctor about anxiety the other day did you ask him for benzos
sk
I'd probably be best off getting back on ritalin, getting a high dose, dealing with the paranoia I get, and just letting that person deal with my life for me while I lose control
月
>>144202 man, i know where you're coming from with that because i felt that way at one point but you really need to take a step back from the anxiety before you can even see the way it's affecting you i wasn't able to do this until the last few years >>144205 stims are fine, but they also increase anxiety and it's not stable for someone who already has anxiety like you and me it's fine to take them, but i would strongly suggest a short-acting benzo like lorazepam to handle the thing you need to handle
i know you're just like "it wouldn't help anyway it can't be helped" but it's one of those things that you can't see the way it's affecting you until you step away from it >>144206 CNS depressants can also do this and increase focus and motivation it's not intuitive because of how we perceive depressants, but they're extremely helpful and i don't think a brain under anxiety is healthy
Anno
jan are u animegg
sk
ritalin me is a much better person than me anyway i'm holding me back by not just leaving it up to me on ritalin
sk
I know it's not gonna make me stable but it'd at least let me stop having to deal with anything i just make better choices
sk
I'll ask the psych about benzos ijf I can manage it but now I gotta go to work
I dunno what to do with all of this at least as a zombie i didn't have to worry so much
月
if you've got some cash, stop by a pharmacy on the way back and pick up some valerian root if you take two 300mg capsules of valerian and find it helpful, then anxiety meds would be a good option for you a stimulated brain isn't necessarily an active brain, just a busy one emotional maintenance is important and having a safe space to perform that is something i don't think you realize is crucial until you have it

>>144229 focus is a fickle thing stimulants do achieve improved focus, but it's kind of different than the way cns depressants do
i would use the analogy of a leaky pipe. say you need waterflow to a certain area, but it's leaking and you're not getting enough water where you need it you can turn up the pressure, pumping more water through so it gets to where it needs to go, but the increased pressure also makes the leaky spots leak even more but when it's lower pressure, it doesn't stress the pipes so much and it flows without leaking everywhere
that's kind of the gist i get from my experiences with all varieties of stims and depressants
>>144227 i didn't find it, but i did find another email from an earlier diplomacy game i think you'll find interesting i'll forward it to you
sk
I'm worried your suggestions will change parts of me
Anno
>>144231 I was worried about the same thing. My father offered me some of his clonazepam to hold over for now. And the only thing it did was make me calmer...
regarding that other game, i told them i was a player in the game and felt like people were cheating, so i google searched the link to the game and found a message board where people were metagaming and i linked them to the gar thread, i think i can't find the email though it was pretty scheming of me, not my proudest moment
Anno
>>144230 i'd much rather have 120% flow with 100% of the water reaching the destination and 20% spraying fucking everywhere than 80% with 20% lost to leaks!
月
>>144237 none of it's lost to leaks under low pressure it's one of those fiber hoses that gets stressed under high pressure but fine under normal pressure
sk
I'm not a leaky pipe as much as I'm a lack of pressure to begin with
月
>>144239 Really? I'd say you're an overabundance of pressure with no outlet so all of it is leaks clear the noise out of your head and you can really direct the flow a lot better
Anno
>>144238 there's somewhere in this analogy that you've lost me 15mg adderall ir twice daily works for me though

Gamma and Sugoi teamed up and killed everyone in every single game.

it feels pretty good to confess sins too >>144246 trust me. i know i'm a fucking lunatic, but that doesn't mean i don't know what i'm talking about when it comes to anxiety and the brain i know that i can't know what you're feeling specifically, but that's not the point what i can notice is something that can be remedied there might be other things there, but clearing out the problem i see you having will give you the thoughtspace to organize yourself mentally i'm not saying everyone should be on benzos, but i think you have a significant anxiety problem that reminds me of mine, and i think you can benefit from it
Anno
they both spawned right next to me and deleted me like immediately. the majority of the game wasn't even including three of the five players we started with. It was just sugoi slowly losing to gamma!

>>144292 Yes it's directly associated with sugoi's being a slut. Sugoi would have the nastiest sluttiest sex you could ever imagine just to say that he was the one that won.
>>144297 1300 >>144296 At the end of the day the victor gets to write the history >>144299 I do that and giggle when I trick people with my schemes It can't be helped
i dont really laugh out loud i inherited my laugh from my dad, it's a sort of silent laughter where you can't breathe but you're dying inside like you're convulsing ive been told my laugh is one of my charm points
Maria
I went to betray someone it sounds fun
sugio
Sure let's play another game. I can show you the ropes, teach you when to betray one of our allies >>144300 Like a muffled laugh where you can just hear the air escaping?
sk
Losing my mind
Yuu
That's pretty funny though. I would have been fine with it if that game had been shut down.
I would have killed myself Having the game shut down after all I did to win History would not reflect well upon me then
月
>>144302 yeah if i audibly laugh, it's fake i might still find it funny, but i have to gesture that to other people otherwise they won't realize it so i have to fake laugh i have a pretty good convincing fake laugh though some people don't
this is a bang
dude history doesn't really reflect well upon you know js
Yuu
Yeah. history already doesn't look favorably upon you.
sk
Laughing isn't really something I do much of
月
laughter is important it clears excess action potential that's distressing your brain so does crying, violence, and masturbating i personally suggest laughter though, it's a lot healthier
sugio
With the archive dead I can convince new people I'm flawless. >>144307 hopefully not friends with any comedians
I get too little of all those Especially violence I'm at nearly zero violence To the point I just wish someone would tick me off just enough that I lose it and cave their skull in
>>144312 when i'm with doc/quarx/nine, it's like one of those things where something funny happens, and then four or five minutes later someone will notice me trying to catch my breath and realize i'm crying with laughter and it gets kind of contagious it's really fun to laugh like that it's a good feeling
Maria
>>144316 do you live in Germany? Speak german to me it sounds cool
I practically don't feel much of the spectrum I have plenty of anger, I'm only really happy in a few scenarios I don't cry much at all because nothing is real to me
I'm basically pretending to be human
Anno月
sugoi, i'm trying to convince SK he should ask his doctor about anxiety meds to help him out can you help the case and point out how different i am pre-treatment versus now and what a paranoid and angsty piece of shit i was back then
sugio
well I don't know about piece of shit but you have to understand how crippling moon's anxiety was he couldn't function at all like at all
Seriously they help a lot it's not bullshit. It's science.
月
it wasn't even a response to my dad passing either, because i was like that before you remember when i was in school in 2011 and just disappeared for three months or something crying all the time i was a mess and i didn't even know what was wrong clearing up the noise in your head really helps you figure things out i know now that it looks to /moe/ like i'm an addict who's edgy when i dont have my meds, but it's not like that that's just me being untreated that's how big of a difference they've made
sugio
well not as much but yeah playing chess instead of going to class yeah
I beat fire emblem echoes. There is a post-game dungeon though.
Anno
Were you gunning through it really hard, or is it just a short-ish game?
sk
>>144328 I'm not doubting they help you I'm doubting they'll help me without also having some effect I don't want
月
>>144335 you drink alcohol don't you that's a nervous depressant taking a benzo is like that, but without the headache and the impaired judgment and the sloshing >>144337 that's because it's alcohol it's like the least manageable depressant there is depressants aren't bad. your nervous system is a delicate thing and you shouldn't put it through abuse it doesn't need to go through >>144338 that's not a depressant
sk
Yeah and alcohol makes me a completely unlikable human being
Anno
And you smoke weed
sugio
>>144333 You finally finished a game. I'm proud of you. >>144335 Well you don't know until you've tried it do you? What's the worst that could happen? If it has some negative effect that outweighs the positives then you could aways just stop right? You lose nothing by trying but have everything to gain >>144332 arigatou
Yuu
>>144334 I had 26 hours on my save file when I completed it.
>>144345 he already knows how weed affects him though he doesn't know how benzos would, so that's why i'm illustrating their purpose and function and relating it to what he does know
Yuu
>>144339 I've finished all the fire emblems I've played recently.
sk
Weed is fine because I do it precisely for the fact that I don't function on it
>>144375 Did your brain release a lot of dolphins yesterday?
月
>>144374 i think they would while that wasn't my trigger, i did have some very specific and arbitrary triggers that rika and sugoi learned the hard way these days i don't care so much or even realize like i said, i can't really know what you're going through, but i can guarantee you i caused way more of a fuss on /moe/ than you ever have and i'm okay now, or as okay as i am
sk
Ritalin didn't, and it managed a lot of my bullshit
sugio
>>144367 It's going good. Naturally everyone wants to be as beautiful as me, sugoi-chan
>>144387 oh good, so it was you it was really bothering me who it was who was studying cosmetology i get people confused sometimes and i thought it was rika but i was wrong so i figured it was probably you it's not a bad profession, my great uncle got really wealthy from it because he was real good in the 80s and all the rich people came to him
sk
I'm not even sure I really have problems rather than create problems I'm likely making everything up, that's why everything gets worse over time
sugio
>>144390 oh it actually wasn't me sorry i was just meming then
>>144403 you still haven't told me what you're doing these days, unless you're still working at the sporting goods store did you finally get into INTELLIGENCE
Yuu
>>144398 Did you guys catch anything good? How many mishaps did you have?
Kirara !Sh0sAiDORU
>>144410 we must have caught like 30 fish and i ok so did you know that there are some really big fish out there that are way stronger than people?
>>144398 Dude where do you think the point of the phrase "there's other fish in the sea" comes from. They wouldn't be saying that if there was four or five. There's a LOT OF FISH IN THE SEA.
Anno
there's not many fish in the sea we overfished them you're screwed for a partner buddy
sk
There's a ton of fish in the sea but most are inedible
月
>>144411 i swear i was thinking "he's gonna say two hundred. please say two hundred" i don't know what i'd do without you in my life man, probably nothing so basically the same but just less compulsive satisfaction
Anno
>>144415 That's okay, I've accepted my lot in life by now.
>>144411 Yes, I am aware of the fact that there are a lot of big fish out there that are stronger than people. There are a lot of fish that are bigger than people too.
Anno
>>144411 did you know that there are some really big fish out there that are way stronger than people Oh whoops. >did you know that there are some really big fish out there that are way stronger than people Yeah, were you not?
>>144434 There are fish that are pretty strong in lakes too. I guess you met a fish that was stronger than you today.
Kirara !Sh0sAiDORU
I got harassed by a really big fish all fucking day it was a blue marlin and it pulled me overboard twice and the third time i was just like nope and didn't even hold on to the rod
It's not my fault at all. Something was tugging on the line and I was like, cool, let me get this and i pulled on it a little of WHOOF fuckin fish man
Yuu
That's funny. I'm glad you lived.
Kirara !Sh0sAiDORU
me too fish jumped in and got me she even grabbed my glasses which got separated from me somehow true MVP
Anno
>>144462 Sounds like you had the best catch of all.
月
>>144462 wow you were a true seaman today you were all seamen (plural of seaman)
Anno
Is she a good swimmer? I feel like having an interest in marine biology might prompt someone to be a good swimmer but that might just be my weird world view.
Kirara !Sh0sAiDORU
>>144467 she's a certified rescue diver with padi and has a bunch of specialty trainings
>>144464 yeah i caught a glimpse of my life passing before my eyes
Sounds like you guys had fun. I'm glad she was able to save you from big fish.
Kirara !Sh0sAiDORU
we caught some good stuff too got some grouper and snapper and amberjack
we just got home like an hour and a half ago we napped a little on the boat though and fish is all riled up so will probably nap later
Anno
She was saving her catch from getting eaten up by all those bigger fish.
Yuu
I warned you about falling in and you actually did! Good thing it wasn't while the boat was in motion.
Kirara !Sh0sAiDORU
fish is really powerful for such a meek person she pulled in a 60 pound grouper like it was nothing idek
>>144494 I didn't FALL in. I was PULLED in. It's different.
Anno
You probably don't have the best upper body strength though, do you? That sort of thing is really useful for situations like that. Upper body/core strength, and knowing leverage.
Or maybe she is just that strong. Would she ever give you a chance to arm wrestle you~?
>>144509 One is clumsiness, the other is when you're being acted on the unnatural force of a four million pound fish. on by the* the unnatural force of nature yes
>>144506 I dunno how she could be so strong, all she does is swim I probably do more upper body than her It must be some kind of AUTIST STRONK power
Anno
One of them is DESTINED FATE.
Anno
>>144512 Swimming is a pretty thorough exercise though. It trains your legs, your upper body, and your core. Don't underestimate the qualities of swimming!
Yuu
>>144512 She probably just saved her strength for the big moment. I warned her that you'd fall overboard and try to die.
Kirara !Sh0sAiDORU
Wow, you told her I was gonna kill myself!
Anno
I tucked one of my legs under the other earlier since it's a comfy way to sit for a short period of time. But then my cat wanted to nap in my lap, and now she's kind of ensconced there. My ankle that's directly under a leg is starting to lose circulation.
this is a bangYuu
>>144519 I told her you were going to try to die. That's different!
Anno
Wow.
Maria
>>144527 Kuroneko looks really good in that kimono
Kirara !Sh0sAiDORU
>>144527 wow spoilers >>144526 that sounds like attempted suicide to me
Maria
>>144530 spoiler Kuroneko summons a demon and kills everyone
Yuu
>>144530 No, I warned her of a clumsy induced death.
Kirara !Sh0sAiDORU
I didn't do anything clumsy.
>>144537 that's not very specific, that describes everyone from that show
In any case, it was a pretty good day. The boat had a water bed which seems really weird to me but I was assured that it isn't weird to have a water bed on a boat.
Anno
It doesn't actually surprise me that much. Kind of like how hammocks are nice on boats because they can adjust for a ship rolling in waves.
Kirara !Sh0sAiDORU
Yeah but wouldn't a waterbed amplify the rocking of the boat?
Anno
Maybe in really bad storms, but at that point, I don't think anything's gonna be comfortable. But with slight rocking, I'd imagine the waterbed actually stabilizes pretty well.
Yuu
I don't really like waterbeds in general.
Kirara !Sh0sAiDORU
Well the boat had two beds and I didn't touch the water bed. I don't like water beds.
Anno
I've never touched a water bed.
sk
I hate being here, I'm in a pissy mood, and I just wanna throw someone headfirst into the concrete flooring
sugio
just snort cocaine
Yuu
>>144561 Sounds fun! 100 miles out is a really long way.
this is a bang
bye moe i'll be on tomorrow i have memorial day off somehow
sk
I was robbed of my weekend and now I'm here hating myself
Yuu
I have monday off too. I am very happy about it.
Kirara !Sh0sAiDORU
I also have Monday off.
>>144570 Yeah, it was a really good day. I'm glad I did it.
Anno
What a coincidence, I too have Monday off.
sk
I'm gonna boil over at this rate I don't have an outlet
I'm just here Existing And I hate it
AnnoYuu
>>144578 And now you have a saltwater fish tank in your home for the rest of your life.
Anno
I think that statement involves a lot of variables that are very uncertain.
Kirara !Sh0sAiDORU
>>144594 Let's not go that far. And it's not saltwater. And if she doesn't take care of it, I'm getting rid of it.
Yuu
>>144598 Oh, it's not a saltwater tank? It won't make you that miserable then.
Kirara !Sh0sAiDORU
>>144607 I don't really like fishtanks so having one kind of sucks but you know
Yuu
I'm not fond of them either but fresh water tanks are much easier to deal with than saltwater tanks. A freshwater tank won't have much negative impact on your life as long as she takes care of it. She has fish autism so I'm sure she will.
Anno
And as long as the glass doesn't explode from a chaotic pressure accident and flood your apartment with gallon upon gallon of water and scatter dead fish everywhere.
Kirara !Sh0sAiDORU
>>144617 We'll see what happens. She's a christmas cake, but she's a lot like a kid.
Yuu
>>144618 Flooding everything with dozens of gallons of water is a common thing with saltwater tanks.
>>144620 She mentioned that you'd been teasing her with christmas cake. Poor girl!
sugio
she's a christmas cake? I see the affinity nowww nice
Kirara !Sh0sAiDORU
She just turned 26 and officially became cake >>144621 She's not poor at all!
It's also my right to tease her.
>>144628 No, it's 26 Because "nobody wants a christmas cake after christmas" it's completely reasonable to want a christmas cake on christmas
Anno
I thought turning twenty-five was the Christmas Cake year.
Yuu
People seem to act as if it starts at 25. But the phrase only makes sense for 26 and higher.
Anno
Yeah it does make sense at twenty-six. But I've heard it at twenty-five more often.
>>144635 Yeah, New-Years noodles is the new expiration date.
sugio
either way it's old and busted
Kirara !Sh0sAiDORU
26 is a good age
it must be hard to find an older man for you sugoi since you're like what, 60 now?
Anno
Twenty-six is slowly approaching for me. How mortifying.
Yuu
I beat Echoes today. It was very good. I still have the post-game stuff to do though.
Kirara !Sh0sAiDORU
>>144640 oh i have a good image for this one sec i'll try again
>>144684 Of course there's a difference. One is clumsiness, one is an animal pulling me in. The cause of it is completely different.
Yuu
I'm not sure I but that there's a difference. buy even
I was worired you'd fall off while it was going on so at least you didn't do that.
sugio
don't wow me you hole
Kirara !Sh0sAiDORU
>>144687 I am super coordinated so that would never happen. The boat was only going like 40mph anyway.
Yuu
Well, I think being pulled in by a fish is still something. I've never been pulled in the water by a fish.
Kirara !Sh0sAiDORU
Go fight a marlin
Yuu
I've fought big fish before and won.
Kirara !Sh0sAiDORU
Fish said the marlin was probably like 700 pounds so there's no way you would have beaten this one.
Yuu
You don't know that for sure.
Kirara !Sh0sAiDORU
I do.
Maria
I could beat up that fish
Yuu
>>144712 You don't know this about me, but my mom's side of the family has a ton of fishermen in it. It's in my blood to catch big fish!
Kirara !Sh0sAiDORU
>>144719 I do know that about you, you've told me that before. But you can't catch a 700 pound marlin by yourself!
Anno
I feel there's a joke to be made about her being destined to catch big fish. But maybe it's too big to swallow.
Kirara !Sh0sAiDORU
make it
Kirara !Sh0sAiDORU
Oh yeah, when I got back to land and turned my phone on after charging it a little, I had a bunch of weird texts from ton i saw them and was like "i'll deal with this later"
Yuu
>>144725 Oh, you've done well to remember that. You don't know what I can catch! I don't even know what I can catch.
>>144733 I think he was sad that he made the game not work last night. I don't know that that's what he was texting about though.
Kirara !Sh0sAiDORU
>>144734 something about pain and pleasure i'm too tired to go through it, i'll reply after a nap later
I know you aren't strong enough for a 700 pound fish
Anno
Oh no is he discovering fetishes he never knew he had.
sugio
pain and pleasure with kirara senpai!
- ton 2017
Yuu
>>144737 Sounds like he's enjoying his time with pan.
>>144737 You don't know that, maybe I have hidden potential. I have a secret weapon against fish too.
Kirara !Sh0sAiDORU
I don't think you have a secret weapon.
Yuu
I do have a secret weapon. It can pull huge fish out of the water.
>>144870 it's a portmanteau of semen tick as in somebody who sucks the semen right out of you antisemetic people really hate them because they're stealing all the semen for themselves instead of spreading it around for everyone to share

Maria
>>144901 >central nervous system Have you tried giving it comforting words of reassurance?
Kirara !Sh0sAiDORU月
>>144907 we don't really use words for that scale of signalling it's just signal intensity and radial pressure there needs to be some pressure otherwise the central ganglia can't respond to their local environment >>144915 seems like more of a shitpost than drinking spoiled milk that's not even a post
>>144910 It sounds like the ganglia has a hard life
月

Kirara !Sh0sAiDORU月
>>144939 why would you waste the resources to do something so meaningless as respecting the ganglion it's a distraction and it's the very thing that the ganglion's purpose is to avoid doing you're wasting what it is doing by doing that, and that's inherently disrespectful >>144945 it's not even your ganglion you fat fuck it's mine get outta here

They do a really good job of making her a realistic kid with powers she doesn't understand trying to learn how to be a person. The whole "mosha-mosha" bit from the last episode was completely spot on.

I know it's not healthy I'd be wrong to do something, but it'd make me feel a lot less trapped in my own life
Anno
>>145000 I've been really liking how it's exploring some of the other characters in the series more. It's also doing a really good job of not retreading over the themes it went into in the first series, while preserving the core values of the story. The author of this series is such a 10/10 guy, I wish I could get my hand on his novels.
Yuu
Life isn't necessarily a dead end.
Anno
Try giving into a different unhealthy impulse, to distract your evil brain Like having a nice unhealthy soda
>>145002 i'll help you with this, okay? just let it rest at the back of your mind for the day where it can ruminate in the subconscious get through your work, do the motions come home and it'll be okay trust me i can help if you'll let me
Anno

sk
I don't have any real control over anything in my life Everything is a fucking trap
rook
>>145003 I'm phone so I don't want to type much but basically same agreedo I love how cleverly he weaves the standards of tanuki/tengu society into every character without making them too similar as well
>>145012 There's also a really well-done aspect of alien, yet familiar with those societies too. Common aspects between them, and human society, do exist, but there's also a lot of things, from major aspects to cultural minutiae, that are really foreign. Like tengu attitude; that's not something stuck-up or rude about them--it's innately who they are. Which is why you can really understand how the crude jeering of the Yakuza-y tengu is abhorrent to more traditionalist Tengu. It's marvelous.
>>145020 i know you just wanna help everyone does but let me try to handle this one, too many chefs fucks dinner up for everybody at thanksgiving and your family starts a fight or however that saying goes
Yuu
I don't like it when people nitpick my word choice.
rook
They seem to say pretty much the same thing tbh

Yuu
>>145023 I'm glad you understand, rook. You're good at understanding.

sk
I'm pretty sure it can't be helped It's not just anxiety
Throwing someone through a wall would only be temporary alleviation too, I'm under no illusions
月
>>145031 that's an incomplete sentence you haven't given a clause to the condition

月
>>145036 Yeah so what? I don't care what you guys were talking about.
>>145033 Yeah, there was so much heart in that scene. Like, it's not the same kind of emotion, but I felt it was as intensely emotional as the scene from the first season, with the brothers coming to terms with the true fate of their father. The tanuki are so much of a family that it hurts in the best way possible.
