I had a minor panic earlier today that I might've chucked a house key into the public trash. I was passing by a set of trash bins so I threw a bunch of little bits of junk I'd had building up away, and then as I was walking home later I realized I couldn't feel my key in my pocket any more and started worrying it had gone out with all the other small things. In reality it had just never been in that pocket and was in my other pair of pants, but man. I was pretty worried there for a moment. Not because I'd be locked out or anything, but can you imagine having to explain accidentally throwing a key out with trash. It's kind of embarrassing.

It's a bit of a restrictive quality for an adventure RPG-style game. Makes sense for something like a farming life game like Harvest Moon, but for a game about levelling and questing, it does cut down on the variety of locales you can explore.

There's evidently some kind of anime community or something. They've even got a first meeting date.

fuck, i just realized an important person on my party was agreeing with using social control (drones, intelligent cameras) means to locate kids who attacked a cop my stomach hurts now.. why is everyone a fucking cop (sorry about the overly political post)
I really dig these simple, monotone designs for both the weapons and the outfits. And I like how they set up the camera shots for a sort of fashion shoot.

They're also really re-tooling how the multiplayer in Splatoon works, it seems like they're working to maek -make it easier for friends that don't form a full party to jump into games together. And they've got neat impartial rewards for playing well and having win streaks.

>Finally, when you get to that moment when you're on a knee (Do not kneel to nobody but God ) , keep bringing it back to Christ. Sure, tell her how much she means to you and that she's the most beautiful girl you know, but show her that Jesus is the foundation for your love so she knows that she knows that you're stable. Say things like, "I believe God put us together"..."I want to love you like Christ loves the church"..."Since Jesus never leaves us, I want to exemplify that by spending the rest of my life with you"..."My mission is to bring glory to God, and I think two can better accomplish that mission than one"..."Your beauty is your godliness", etc.

>If he says no, you are going to feel upset and you have every reason to ask him what his reasons are and if will ever change his mind. It could simply be that there is too much going on at the time (school, a big move, his parents are ill) and he can't think that far ahead, or it could mean that he doesn't want to get married. Whatever the reason is, you're going to have to make some choices about your future, as well. It could be that the two of you aren't compatible and don't have the same life goals.

yeah, basically proposing to a person who wouldnt even marry is kind of a dead sentence for the relationship, as far as i know

Oh, Azur Lane is getting an anime.
rene
>>574099 Yeah And the skin around there is thicker so it's not as easy to relieve
uh i only really have myself as a reference point there what sorts of prollems are you havin commitment to memory, patience to get through the material, difficulty processing the density of content?
>>574106 I can read all day but when it comes time to repeat or process or discuss the information I've taken in it's all just a jumbled mess in my mind.
I've got an exam on the 27th and until a week ago I didn't know anything at all about the topic. So I'm trying to absorb as much information as quickly as possible but my brain is letting me down.
>>573942 you better be ready to take responsibility for this boner
Anno
>>574107 i'm not exactly a scholar so take my advice with a grain of salt but I've always found that trying to apply what you're reading about with short exercises or flash cards while you're working through the material to be an effective way to retain the information even doing something like just taking down shortform notes about what you're reading works well for me just binging through textbooks has never worked for me i end up forgetting most of it by the time I'm done
Marsh-chan
>>574109 are your notes ever helpful in the future or is it more about the physical exercise of writing it all out
I'll tell you right now - I'm banking on the latter being true. My notes are just a scribbled mess
Anno
>>574110 they're not really helpful unless i've somehow forgotten everything after writing it down, but the act of writing it down seems to make it more likely to stick in my mind. if they're legible enough, reading through them after finishing may help you remember as // anything you didn't fully commit to memory the first time. i think the key to it is to write legible notes you have to understand what you're writing down and run it through your mind a second time when writing, then a third time when you're done or on another day. basically just increasing the exposure to the same information presented in a few different ways can help a lot.
>>574112 I will take your advice on board and do my best to make my handwriting more legible so i am able to review things a second or third time. >>574114 ooh baby do I ever.
>>574115 i find valerian root or some calming agent to help me with studying activities a lot more than stimulants stimulants for function, like on exams or assignments, caffeine and such valerian root or something calming to slow my brain down while reading/researching there's a lot less friction with the material when i'm relaxed and it's a lot more digestible i slow my brain down enough to be fully immersed in the progression of the material and not too impatient that lets me think about the stuff i'm reading at the same pace as im reading it and connect a solid train of thought through it
i might be able to read faster and follow along faster when stimulated, but there's just less time spent there and it's less familiar it becomes recall at that point rather than recognition it also makes the study material pretty enjoyable and not a chore
i'm not sure whether any of that's helpful but that was a big breakthrough for me i only use caffeine when there's application of what i know that has to be done and it's more busywork i slow my brain down whenever im trying to understand something or learn it because i'm more patient and connected to the material
>>574119 some places are more restrictive than others
Marsh-chan
when I wanted melatonin supplements to help with sleeping I couldn't buy it over the counter in Australia it's not illegal but there are restrictions on selling it. I had to order it online.
月
if you can't find valerian root in the supplement aisle, you can probably find it in the tea aisle as a sleepy time tea it's very common i dont see why they wouldn't have it are there restrictions on chamomile too
月
or catnip for that matter catnip tea works really well it's a mild central nervous system depressant in humans very relaxing
it's not a necessity to use a supplement maybe just for me, the anxiety of stimulation kept me from immersing in the material i always tried to study mechanistically, check if i grasped the material and move forward with heightened sense of importance of the material like "this is important i gotta know it" come time for recall, it's all just in the back scattered around and i can't sort it nervous stimulants worsened that feeling, and i'm naturally an anxious person doing something to relieve me natural anxiety while studying let it all sink in so fluidly just a granular build-up of conceptual awareness about the material that i explored on my own so it was easy to recognize the applications of the material and use the knowledge when pressed
another option is reproduction of the content nowadays as a transcriptionist i'll write out about 60 or 70 pages on an average day of transcripts of recorded KOL interviews in the clinical workspace listening to it and also typing it all out (at about 3:1 ratio of time spent vs real time of the audio) i can easily recall the entire 60+ pages constantly doing research while transcribing to get a better sense of the material, forming the spoken words into functional sentences study habits aside and speaking mechanistically, i've done 200-page transcripts of four-hour interviews and could easily recall any given paragraph given that i spent time parsing context and typing it out and all that
i know you can't transcribe the material that's already written, but excessive note-taking could really help like writing down what you're understanding and what lingering questions you have while reading, what further research you've done to clarify, and so forth. that's another thing i did a lot of in academia, note-taking my own learning experiences -- not the material itself like in a lecture, but my impressions of the material and thoughts on it and follow-up questions, and digging up research to attempt to answer underlying questions
月
basically anything that increases hemispheric communication helps retention imo reading is very one-sided as all the lexical reasoning only occurs in one hemisphere giving the brain reason to communicate the lexical concepts to the other hemisphere and coordinate between the two to reconstruct the knowledge somehow really helps solidify it in the brain it's very easy to zone out while reading and not have any cross-referencing for your brain to do and it just thinks "yeah this makes sense, this makes sense. sure, i understand that." then you're actively engaged later bilaterally and can't recall what it was
idk if that makes sense or not just map the material and concepts to as many brain functions as you can read it in-mind, think about it, say it out loud, right // write it down, have a conversation with yourself about the material
Marsh-chan
Yeah that does make sense. I do take some notes but I could definitely do more to engage with them. I'll try doing that.
you may want to ask rika or samurai though, or someone more normal than i am i've got a really obsessive brain when it comes to information so i might not understand the struggles right >>574130 valerian with caffeine is a great combination it takes all the edge and jitteriness out of the caffeine experience it's a very calm energy but again that's just me some people take sedatives and just feel drowsy and want to sleep i take them and it's the freedom to focus on anything i want without all the internal noise clouding up my thoughtspace
Marsh-chan
would valerian and coffee at the same time be counter-productive?
for me, it's about categorization i make connections between everything i see or learn and think about the abstract rules that govern those connections
for example, everything has certain traits that you can figure out, some of them are concrete traits like being red or being a computer screen, some of them are more abstract like being a system of governance or an ideological value or design value for every idea and concept, i just look intuitively at the traits it has and connect it to other things that have those traits an easy example is like, if i'm thinking about the nintendo switch, i might take the trait of having a touch screen out and make a connection to a nintendo ds and a phone because those have touch screens, or i could connect it to an MRI control panel which has a touch screen
by having a lot of connections between objects and concepts, i create a complex web of ideas which are all intertwined, so any time i improve my understanding of an object or a concept, it also affects other concepts in the web, so every time i learn something new, it reinforces my understanding of just about everything because everything is connected in some way
an easy way to think about it is like free association the words you freely associate may seem random, but you can tease out specifically what connects those concepts together if you really try to my conceptual web is like that
月
i find it helps a lot to map/relate whatever you're learning to your own worldview too i think a lot about systems so i try to think about what i'm learning as an interconnected system
Kirara 🚗
yeah definitely putting things into your own context is really helpful for understanding them
Kirara 🚗
i have difficulty with things that are really far from intuitive though if it's not intuitive, i have a lot of trouble incorporating it into my web so i have a lot of trouble with poorly thought out systems of rules and policies that don't really make sense
It's internal. I just naturally organize and categorize things without much effort now, unless there's a really hard or unique concept that I have to really tease the traits out of, like if I'm reading philosophy and encountering a new concept. I used to have a few separate concept maps in my head but now they're all connected, too.
Kirara 🚗
i don't see any reason why it wouldn't work physically writing it out though
月
i suggest physically writing things just for the incorporation of both hemispheres to engage the concept with motor memory also when it comes to testing and things, it's very unlikely to be in the same mental state as when studying, especially with travel to the school and whatnot and being in a specific environment it's very helpful imo to anchor concepts into physicality a bit so that, when lost, just the rhythmic movements and pen-paper interface you're dealing with can recollect some of the procedure a lot of the anxiety around recall is about familiarity i think, and anxiety is friction whatever makes that environment familiar makes the recall and application a lot less taxing on time and energy

On the same day that I thought my fingernail was finally getting back to being an appropriate length, I stubbed my toe by opening a door.

it's going to continue to bug the shit out of me because in literally any other app it defaults to Black header and software buttons. when I pull up the keyboard it's black, swiping from the top to check notifications turns it black, chrome is the only app that uses white as an accent color and it's triggering me

I just remembered something funny that happened to me. I was stocking drinks in the cooler at work and I pushed one up to the front and somebody opened the door and grabbed my hand. I was like Hey! and he laughed at me and said GOTTEM. I got fucking got!
>>574482 Fucking nothing! It did surprise me though, he really did get me. I've never had that happen. >>574485 >>574484 Night shift sucks but generally I think people who portray retail as hell focus on the bad parts of humanity rather than the good. I've met a lot more wonderful people than shit heads working at 7-11. I'd say the vast majority of people at least are nice to you if you're polite and provide good service. There are always bad, rude, or criminal customers as well, but it's easy to focus on the bad experiences and have that pessimistic point of view. Most people are generally cool. Maybe I'm a little more open to different kinds of people than your average retail worker or something, too. Even interacting with nice enough people can be stressful if you're socially anxious or awkward. But retail is a bad place to work under those conditions, I think.
rene
I don't personally see retail as a sort of hell, but I could see how it could be bad I mean being robbed and stuff like that is obviously bad but besides those things the worst things I could imagine you have to deal with is shitty customers and shitty bosses I mean it probably beats fast food
Anno
Retail seems like hell to me, but that's less due to potentially terrible customers. But more because it's an unsatisfying (for me) set of repetition in an environment I don't really care to be stuck in for extended periods of time. That said something like a bookstore, which is still retail, would probably be a more enjoyable experience because I like books a lot. It's all about the specifics in the end.

It's pretty easy to hear the whining engines of people who are racing late-night, presumably on the highways that cut through the valley not too far from my house. I don't really condone street racing but the sounds of the engines are kind of melodious.
Their fun is presumably extremely reckless driving that's a danger to themselves and anyone else on the highway, participant or not. I figure yeah, they race at night where people using the highways is probably drastically reduced, but night driving is riskier driving already, never mind at insanely high speeds. And in a city this big there's no way there's no one using those highways for their intended purpose even at this time of night.
I doubt people would drive slow on those roads And street race crashes are rare in my point of view, nobody would try to win while risking their life and their investment
Anno
That's all fairly irrelevant to my concerns. People surely don't drive slow on those roads, sure, but with the sounds I'm hearing I don't think these numbnuts are going around those speeds either. And it's not really the crashes I'm emphasized on, but rather the added danger for non-partipant drivers that these racers are adding to the roads.
There are venues for going extremely fast in cars where you don't risk harm on uninvolved people and choosing to eschew that is pretty inexcusable to me.
More people die from running into trucks on the access road next to the car assembly plant than die street racing here. They usually do that kind of thing out in the boonies or the desert. >>574529 Well, it's all right as long as there's a long stretch of road and nobody in those two lanes!

I was hanging out with a bunch of friends. This was back in New Years 2016/17, so it was the same trip I hit up Comiket and stuff.

Oh right it was that trip maybe I should save up for something like that

If you've got a gang to go with, it's a pretty great experience even if you're not particularly Asian looking. You'll still get looks from being a stuck out sore thumb, but it does feel less awkward. And if you've got a common language a lot of people are pretty genial if you aren't interrupting them from something. You know, normal human bean reactions. Make sure at least one person you go with can communicate well in Japanese though, hah hah.

>>574547 OH it was the artist you were talking about that completely flew over my head for some reason >>574549 well I guess I know at onw person I can go with and is also learning japanese so that helps

The show goes on and off the air every now and then. Like there was a period of time between the first twelve or thirteen episodes before it got picked up again for a two-cour run, and then another interlude before the current run. My calculations didn't take into account these off-periods so I was trying to incorporate that into the sentence.

The show is currently at sixty-one episodes. It's covered what I think is maybe four months of in-series time. So one year of in-series time should probably be 182 episodes. Assuming one episode airs continuously week after week, that would last about 3.5 years. And that should be 183 episodes. As I mentioned though, the already-aired episodes have had periods of time without weekly airing episodes already, so a full year of in-series time will likely happen more around the 4.5-5 year point from the show's first episode airing. Or maybe more like 4.25-4.75. This is all dumb silly calculations though why am I still writing this.

Anno
Well One Piece is at 853 [720p] as of this week, so. Actually I guess they put it out in 1080p too. I wonder when higher resolutions are going to become practical to provide resolutions for.
Anno
whenever anime studios decide to render their anime in a higher resolution which means whenever japanese TV broadcasting companies decide to broadcast anime in 4k which they won't do because there is no 4k anime so never
Anno
maybe if the stars align someone will partner up with NHK or something but i highly doubt it
They didn't give a damn about me going cold turkey. I'm usually fine with not smoking, I have no idea where this desire to smoke is coming from. I think because I've always been able to smoke when I wanted to even if I didn't smoke for a while.
>>574579 Yeah, I think I realise now what it is, I smoked when ever I was seriously stressed and it was a my go to for those moments. I don't often recongise when I'm very stressed.
>>574581 I don't mind so much as it's just persistent and bit of realisation that I am addicted, I used to think I wasn't addicted because I only smoked a lot when I was stressed and not much elsewise. Actually not having pack around is weirdly hard on me.
Plus with the meds affecting my mood, It is an experience. I've not drank much before, I never could really afford alcohol I actually liked the taste of.
wasps here are picky about food and really polite nothing ever is goodbenough for them to eat and they never bother you more than buzxing around weird things
i smoke quite a bit every day pretty much i can go a few days without a cigarette though and not even think about it some days it's just easier not to have one because once i do then i have to have another every couple hours and it changes my mood like i'll really enjoy just laying down and watching some stuff or reading things, and i know if i have a cigarette im not going to enjoy that kind of thing and i'll want to do more active things and if i'm really enjoying it then i dont wanna change that so i'll just enjoy it instead but if i start losing control of my thoughts in that mode then i have to go have a cigarette because it helps with thought disorders
>>574587 Smoking always calmed me down immensely. I don't know how to describe how I'd go from noisy to really mellow. it was just a lot of the actions of smoking, and also the slight rush from the nicotine. My mood changes a lot - but I've always smoked when I'm in a particular noisy and stressed place.
>>574593 No. He just gets uncomfortable when it's out near him. And I always have it out because I use it as a replacement for a baseball bat for home invasions.
>>574608 well you know.. I don't actually want to spend all evening playing poker. But I do want to make friends so it's about how much time I spend doing thing I don't want to do for the sake of being social. That's the difficulty.
>>574617 then we'd get along great. >>574618 yeah. I'll probably do something like that. We're in a good area for it. And it's something I enjoy. It's more difficult to organize things than take other people up on offers but maybe that's the price for participating in an activity I like.
I can't usually hang out with my colleagues because they're all drinkers, so I've been inviting them to do non-alcoholic activities like hiking or to movies and stuff. Organizing stuff can suck because everyone is a little flakey, though.
idk how tinder works honestly but that sounds like it makes sense
浅間 智
from what I know of it a lot of people get each other to rate as hot or not hot so if both of you say hot then you get matched and can talk to each other
Kirara 🚗
that's what i thought like it matches you and you rate them err rate each other
浅間 智
I guess they accidentally told // agreed for it to be an open relationship
>>574644 My impression is that it's become a legitimate dating app. Everyone I know who uses it does it to actually date.
>>574645 It's nice to be together. Fish being gone for so long has been miserable.
浅間 智
>>574644 could be, but I only know people who use it to find people to have dates with to see if it'll work out for a relationship but it's not that many, only about four people I know use it
Anno
Yeah, honestly my only anecdotal experience with it is my little sister who used it to find her current boyfriend. It probably has evolved into something like that.
>>574649 she's been gone since May i didn't see her for the first time since early may until like last week and I've only seen her two more times since then
Kirara 🚗
idk when she'll be out of the hospital
浅間 智
>>574650 that's a bit long fam north pole expidition?
Kirara 🚗
>>574652 she was trapped in nigeria with antibiotic resistant pneumonia for months she's being treated here in the states now
浅間 智
was she too sick to move or just not allowd to?
Kirara 🚗
it was too dangerous to move her i guess a lot can go wrong during a 20 hour flight when you need oxygen assistance and stuff one mistake would mean brain damage probably
浅間 智
that bad eh my gf's mum had a stroke 3 weeks ago in belgium and was only moved back here last week she also needed oxygen assistance and all that jazz so couldn't move her either did Fish also have a quaranteen period when she returned in the US?
Kirara 🚗
yeah kind of she was here like two weeks before i could see her she is gonna need physical and speech therapy she got really sick she had a miscarriage while she was sick too everything has been pretty bad haha
浅間 智
sounds pretty shit yeah I feel for my gf too been going to the hospital almost every day since then twice a day gonna be a while before she's more normal
Kirara 🚗
shit is pretty rough
i asked fish to marry me but she turned me down my timing was bad i guess everything is just happening too much haha
next month it'll be two years since fish moved in with me
Anno
It's always easier to see what wasn't right in hindsight, eh.
I look forward to you two being under the same roof again
rene
wow it's been two years time really does fly
Kirara 🚗
we haven't been going out for the full two years though only since march 2017
rene
that's right she popped up around just before hurricane matt

YouTube has recently started sending me emails to notify me of videos from some channels I regularly watch that are being set to air at a scheduled date. A function I never opted into, and when I click on the link in the email to unsubscribe from this feature, it just tells me I was never subscribed to that channel? Which makes sense since I don't subscribe to any channels, but then what's triggering this email feature? I think I might've disenabled it by just shutting off all non-service emails from YouTube, but I guess I'll have to wait and see.
There's an expo here for those interested in studying/working/volunteering/etc. abroad next Saturday. I want to go and see what they'll talk about, it might be pretty interesting.
Not that anyone plays it but in grabble they've added a special kind of Ring on top of the Rings you could already give to characters that - give separate bonuses that are static - show a ring icon on that character - there are only 3 in the game currently
No. But I'd like to do some more travel after the exchange semester ends maybe even take another semester off uni and just backpack. and Eastern europe would be better for that since my money would go a lot further
Kirara 🚗
id like to visit ukraine where my family is from but the whole nazi government thing makes it seem like a bad idea
Marsh-chan
You'd probably be fine as a tourist. just make sure everyone knows you're American.
and as an American that should come very easily.
浅間 智
yeah you won't notice the government if you're just there to visit I was in Hungary and you don't notice shit
Kirara 🚗
the people are also nazis and i have a jewish last name i will probably be fine but the chance that i won't be is high enough to make me avoid it
浅間 智
I doubt they're going to ask for your name and then beat you up or something
Kirara 🚗
idk man a doubt isn't enough for me to risk getting lynched by nazis if im going to die id like it to at least be fun
Marsh-chan
lets go to Mongolia. No Nazis there. Just big empty grasslands.
I can do a lot of the aidoru dances from aikatsu and im@s
Kannagi
A lot of stuff is just lip sync to stuff like Stand By Me, or I feel good, or like I need dollars, dollars, dollar. just catchy shit. I also love Awoo. 56709
Anno
I'll dance if I'm enjoying the music. I don't really know what the specific details would be.
Yeah, Kancolle is done. It's getting replaced by Azur Lane. Which I guess is fine, at least my autistic boat game got replaced by an autistic boat game.
Well, it was a crappy flash game. It got lucky with the Kancolle x Arpeggio crossover event that allowed it to cannibalize Arpeggio's popularity and get big. The problem is that it was built on a shaky foundation and was a not really that great flash game from the very start.
It's true that they didn't really do much with it, but it needed a complete overhaul to have any more staying power than it did.
The biggest problem is that it wasn't cohesive as a franchise. They tried to add in stories for the events, but there was no overarching story, and everything was just going in all different directions. They set it up to mirror WWII, but then they randomly started deviating from that and lost the history buffs. Then they just let it stagnate.
But Kancolle wasn't killed by Azur Lane, it was killed by Fate/GO. Azur Lane is still only moderate popularity.
Anno
And Fate/GO is still an incredible monster of popularity.
I don't think it's fair to compare Fate/GO to kancolle. It is something that would exist completely independent of kancolle, and doesn't really compete with it directly. It's like comparing a NFL team to a college team.
I'm just saying that people generally play one mobage, and the mobage that is most popular in Fate/GO. Kancolle was always eating into the mobage market, so it's fair to include it there.
>>574777 I think they're completely different beasts. Azur Lane is killing Kacolle in the sense that it's becoming Kancolle's successor as the meme mobage. Fate was never in the running for that. It is its own beast and Fate is just too much of a monolith to be a meme game like Kancolle was.
I think you're missing my point. I'm saying that Azur Lane is more or less Kancolle's successor. It wouldn't really be right to say that Fate/GO is Kancolle's successor, would it? Fate is too large an existence for that.
>>574782 I think that FGO and Kancolle are not in direct competition. You're looking at it too narrow-mindedly. They're franchises, not just mobages. FGO has no appeal to the military autists that enjoy boat/gun girl games. AL and Girls Frontline are in direct competition with KC.
>>574787 FGO and KC were definitely in direct competition for a long time. Like, it's an observable fact. If you'd watched the market, you'd have been able to see that. You might not be able to logic it out, but that's absolutely how it was!
Perhaps the games were, but my argument is that both Fate and Kancolle are much larger than just the games. The games themselves are just a very small part of the two franchies. As franchises, the two aren't really that much in direct competition.
F/GO has become the entire Fate franchise, though. It's literally the Nasuverse game.
Fate vs KC is just franchise vs franchise. Was KC destined to lose? Definitely. But they were still in competition, and KC was winning for quite some time.
>>574796 KC is more of a military otaku thing. It kinda resides in the same thoughspace as stuff like GuP or that one hmm oh strike witches KC and Azur Lane are kinda fighting over that space. I think Fate has always been more widespread.
>>574800 Fate has always been in that space, too. And it's in that space now more than ever, too. Fate has always attracted history buffs and especially military buffs.
It's too dangerous to wear jeans when I'm running or something. I wear pants when I hike, though. The threat of tics is worse than the added trouble of managing my water intake more closely.
that sounds effective at what they're trying to do there

>>574834 they used to (and still sometimes) give it to people as a last-line treatment for tourettes that's where the foundation came from for the threat of tics

and the haldol shuffle is the colloquial name for that side effect that people have where they just kind of stammer around and can't walk with a normal gait because of haldol
