wasn't the plotline of that movie about the birds' extinction too it waa an alright movie

I've been having to read Kakfa's Metamorphosis for one of my classes this semester and I feel people kind of overplay how horrific it is. Sure the main character gets turned into a beetle and that's not really something I'd want to happen to me. But the sensory and emotional delivery isn't really strong enough to evoke any particular feelings of dread at the experience. Maybe it's just that it's a translation,
月
i think it's really relatable it's not so much a feeling of dread but realization and disappointment
Anno
Honestly the more interesting experience is the change in character the main character's transformation has on his family members. I'm only two-thirds through but we already see his sister taking on a strong sense of agency (though albeit effectively as caretaker for their new beetle-pet) and there's a really good passage towards the end of the second third which the main character is surprised to see that his near-elderly, semi-ailing father has gone from being a man who laid in bed long hours and shuffled with a cane when walking outside to being an imposing figure of power and authority. Perhaps it's jus that he's now a beetle seeing things through beetle-eyes but it's a neat other metamorphosis in the novel that caught my attention.
月
yeah that's the relatable part that's really the whole theme of the book, i thought i dunno i never did group reads or stuff just took what i took from it you get sick, or maybe mentally ill, or crippled, and your family's emotions towards you slowly change over time until you start feeling like an unsightly, burdensome monster sometimes their empathy fades and they get used to your illness, especially in cases of hospice, some families can become awfully mean even or sometimes it's just the perception the caretakee has of their own burden and they undergo the changes to accomodate those perceptions
it's something i can relate a lot more to now than i could when i was in whatever year i read it my family mistakes my crippling fear and apprehension from mental illness to be me being a jerk and inconsiderate and not wanting to deal with them but i just know anything i try to do or say makes everything worse, like the beetle being trapped in the staircase banister or whatever it was and just making such a dreadful mess of things
Anno
That's a good perspective, I hadn't really considered it like that. It's definitely a neat novel. All the main characters of the family handle the ridiculous situation in some pretty human ways.
The edition I picked up for the class has a foreword by David Cronenberg who opens his bit likening his experience of one day waking up and realizing he was a seventy-year-old man to the main characters waking up and realizing he was a beetle. And superimposing //No that's not quite right. And transposing the reactions of the main character's family onto the reaction of a family suddenly discovering their son transformed into an elderly man. It was kind of a neat read.
月
i think i may have read that version too, though i dont remember
i definitely get how the beetle feels sometimes though ive gotten to the point where i'll just wait in bed for three days without eating instead of asking for some help i feel like as long as im not seen or heard im always fine being in a position where i could possibly cause trouble or bring attention makes me scutter away
Anno
Yeah, being prompted at that perspective makes me realize I've been in a similar way more than once. Wanting to avoid the judgemental eyes of my family and skittering to and from the kitchen fast as possible so I can get the food or tea I need. Or literally hiding under my bedsheet like the main character does because I don't want to be seen or see anyone.
月
pretending like you're taking a nap just to avoid the awkward conversation or non-conversation that could happen with someone passing through
Anno
Something tangentially related that really rinds my ears though. Why do the forewords and essay content at the start of these classic pieces of literature always involve spoiling the plot of the piece. Like I was reading Jane Austen's Emma and the collection of short essays at the top of the book pretty much let me know every major plot piece and subtle ploy -play of situation that was going to happen in the novel. Metamorphosis was pretty similar, I already know the fate of our main character before I even got to the plot.
These forewords and essays are neat and I enjoy reading them, but it feels horribly backwards to have them at the FRONT of the book when they lay out the plot for you.
>>641932 yeah sometimes I think some forewords, when they aren't just some brief introductin to the book or author should be at the back of the book reminds me of one lovercraft+others anthology where there was some 50 page "foreword" detailing the whole "cthulhu" and other existential horror scene from its inception to modern times
Anno
man it has been drizzling to pouring for almost two entire fucking days now literally hasn't stopped completely in about 40 hours this is pretty unusual weather for this time of year here wonder why
Anno
>>641935 Yeah, pretty much. It just feels like a really weird design choice to have content-spoiling parts as a preface for the rest of the book. Kind of like movie trailers that effectively concise the plot of the movie into the two-minute preview.
I think it is just tradition it is treated as a foreword about the book from someone important enough to beh ado n the book, so it goes to the front but in my opinion foreword is just some brief thing about the book, or the translation or something of note you should or would like to know when reading said book and anything else should be at the back, if the publisher(s) are so inclined to have them there.
Anno
>>641932 the foreword in the original invisible man did this and i didn't get why it straight up outlines who invisible man is and why he's invisible and some of the struggles in his story haha i still liked the book but it was like reading a spoiler filled summary of the novel
i guess they did it to try and entice people to buy or rent the book like modern fiction does with the teaser on the back but it straight up spoiled major plot
!C0.PerkELE
>>641937 this is what I at times love about marvel, when they have MISLEADING trailers ie. >thanos only has 2 gems when in actuality he has 4 at 5 at that point
Anno
>>641940 Yeah. People are even theorizing in some of the Endgame trailers there's been some photoshopping of Captain Marvel out of the scenes with a bunch of the Avengers marching in unison.
!C0.PerkELE
or >the lst gem is the soul stone trolololo
月
>>641932 i dont even get it for fiction unless it's like really classic literature in which providing the modern context is meaningful but like reading dragons of eden and having a foreword about what we've learned about neuroscience since the '70s in comparison, or stuff like that for non-fiction yeah
!C0.PerkELE
>>641941 not impossible, since time stone is a thing, but introducing time travel and then fixing it with that... MEH the series, not even when strange was full on stonepowering in his movie, ever did time travel just manipulating shit but not timetravel so introducing time travel and fixing the whole big issue with that would just be lame
Anno
>>641944 No I mean they're literally photoshopping Captain Marvel out so that people don't get any hint whatsoever as to how she's involved in the plot. Like what they did with the Infinity Stones in the Infinity War trailers.
Oh yeah that I wonder will the captain marvel movie be good and I really question their decision to have Marvel and Endgame so close to eachother?
Anno
Or Thor having/not having an eye depending on the proximity of the trailer to Ragnarok.
Anno
>>641943 I'm fine with there being preface stuff, especially if it lays out that there's some differences in our understanding of concepts since the writing of the piece and today. But the essays seem to just go "yeah we're assuming this isn't your first time reading the original work so we're just gonna openly dissect the plot before the book even begins".
Maybe the essay authors weren't told where their piece was going to be included in the book though. And so they're just writing assuming it'll be included after the novel like things SHOULD be so they think people reading it will already know the events of the original work.
月
maybe im being pointlessly cynical but i think it's also super arrogant to think your shitty essay is more important than the work that the person paid to buy in the book
bit different in scope, but one don rosa collection of comics had some finnish doctor's who actually wrote I think her thesis on don rosa's work so yeah kinda topical at the time, but why the fuck did they include some 40 page summary by her of her thesis in the fucking book between each of the collected comics
Instead why not LIKE IN EVERY OTHER DON ROSA COMIC BOOK COLLECTIOn have a foreword about the comis from the author himself?
月
>>641948 i feel like i want to write some really super meta stuff now with forewords and prefaces ingrained into fictional narrative or even be the entire thing
>>641953 House of Leaves has this multi-level story structure which opens with a Los Angelos nobody being entrusted by this giant piece of literary work by a blind man who passes away at the beginning of the book. The bulk of the novel is primarily that literary work, a complex dissertation by the blind man on a documentary movie called The Navidson Record, which entails the Navidson family moving into a stately house in Virginia and their -as an attempt by the husband and wife to save their ailing marriage. Things in the documentary quickly get weird though, when the family discovers that the house is changing on them. Doors and hallways are appearing where before there were none, and measuring the external and internal measurements of the house makes them realize the two measurements impossibly do not allign. But back out to our LA nobody, because intersped throughout The Navidson Record are fragments of his own account reading and holding on to The Navidson Record. Despite how hard he investigates, it seems like there is no such documentary. The Navidson family do not exist, and all the real people that the blind man references in the dissertation he writes claim they've never produced any of the writing relevant to The Navidson Record that the blind man cites them for, and have never heard of the documentary. More so, the collection of papers The Navidson Record is written on consists of books, scrap pieces of paper, napkins, pretty much every possible piece of writable medium. This makes comprehending the piece a confounding mess for our nobody friend, which the House of Leaves actual author does a marvelous job of representing in reality with a ridiculously messy and difficult book to read. Some pages have their text mutilated, others have it start and stop off-page as if there was a printing error or something, some paragraphs begin on a page well into the depths of the novel only to have their finish be back towards the early parts of it. There's ...
>>641956 ... mountains and mountains of footnotes, both from the blind man in-world and the "editors" who take up the work on behalf of the LA nobody who delivers it to them, as well as footnotes from him as well. The whole experience of reading House of Leaves is a really bizarre one, but it's a lot of fun and the stories that get told on each layer of the book are pretty fascinating and distinct from one another.

uuuuuuhhhh aaaaaaaaaaaaalrighty then you have fun with that

Well I know some twenty-somethings that are a bit like that too, so it doesn't necessarily get better as they get older. One guy in particular I know is really exhaustingly toxic. He's a decent player so I try to keep from digging into him too much but man it can be a bit much at times.
Recently though the other friend of his that I was regularly playing with cut him out of his social circle entirely after getting fed up with how toxic that one guy could get. I can get why it "had" to happen but I still feel kind of bad about it. The two of them were pretty good friends. Plus the guy that cut him out isn't the least toxic person himself, but at least he doesn't go on mic raging at his random teammates when they screw up because he's mad at losing. He just does it off-mic on Discord, hah hah.
works at his parents coffee shop for 20 bucks an hour part-time too and has his parents FULL support to be a pro gamer in fact he already "was" a pro TF2 player! well, there weren't tournaments but he streamed!
then i've got one fuckin frat boy who just talks about how CRAZY his jewish fraternity is but that he actually hates being jewish

We were talking about death anxiety in my Death & Dying class today, and according to Yalom, one of the ways death anxiety manifests is in an // manifests behaviorally is through throwing oneself into dangerous situations, which symbolically proves immortality to the person who survives that stuff. That's the gist of it at least. Anyway, my professor gave an example of free-climbing mountains. And someone goes, "Oh, Kirara did that!" so i had to explain that i didn't free climb up a mountain i only free climbed a little bit it was mostly hiking up a mountain and that i didn't do it because it was dangerous so someone's like "why did you do it then?" and i explained that it's not something i've done before and it sounded fun so i wanted the experience and explained that i didn't go there with the intention of climbing that mountain my buddy just said "let's climb that mountain" and i said okay
and everyone was acting like it was weird to say okay to that like i dunno i guess they're all super neurotic and unwilling to live because they're unwilling to die
i haven't learned anything new yet we haven't even started going over how to die

So I'm not quite sure how to bring this up. But the other day I Jan got into an argument with me and it quickly devolved into him insulting me for being autistic, and saying things like "it's a good thing you're a virgin because that way you won't pollute the genepool with your autistic spawn" or something like that and him telling me to kill myself. So the insults didn't bother me but tge fact that no one but me called him out for being a dick felt kind of shitty. I know that if I said stuff like that to him that people would call me out on it.
Why is it that people give me shit when I use personal insults or tell someone to kill themself (which i haven't done on here in quite a while), but jan gets a pass?

>>642044 Like two weeks ago, mine went from taking 1 hour to charge from 30% to taking 3 hours. Almost over night! I guess phone batteries tend to go bad after like two years anyway.
Anno
Last winter my phone was already starting to show signs of bad cold weakness but this winter it's been really bad. I can leave the house with a full charge only to have it drop to 0% juice in like an hour of being out in the cold. Though warming my phone back up again does revive some of the lost charge. I must look kind of silly sitting on the bus massaging my phone.
My friend just got one of the new Pixels it looks pretty nice
Anno
They do look like nice phones. I'll probably upgrade to a Pixel 3 or 4 if they put one out in a later time. All things concerned I've got more pressing things to save money for though.
!C0.PerkELE
>>642036 what phone do you have btw? that is a good deal on the change, since just a new battery can be 30 dollaroos
>>642048 Yeah, I don't want to get a new one yet. Or rather, I don't want to spend money on a new phone yet.
Kirara, the Cat
Pixel 3 is already out, by the way. That's what my friend has.
Anno
Yeah, I meant the Pixel 4 might come out later. Phones are kind of on a yearly schedule so considering the other things I'd rather save money towards the Pixel 4 or whatever equivalent product there is might be out by the time I can consider a new phone.
My S7 is 2-3 years old and it works great other than the battery. There's no reason for me to get a new phone yet.
Anno
My phone's like 3.5 years old and it gets kind of clunky running some things. Some mobile sites on Chrome load pretty poorly on it. I also can't ever tell if it's my provider's janky-ass cell towers or my phone's radio receiver that's to blame for the occasional service loss.
If not for the fact that I'll eventually replace the entire phone I'd definitely consider replacing the battery. But in the long run of things replacing the battery is an additional cost I'd have to eat for a product that's eventually gonna be retired. So as long as I can manage with the phone's iffy battery I'm happy to save the cost of replacing the battery.
>>642045 I'm pretty sure phone batteries are intended to completely shit themselves after a year or two so you have to replace them.
Anno
It's not really intention and more a convenient problem they don't care to fix. Batteries are pretty sensitive pieces of hardware, more so when they get as small and lightweight as they do in phones. Your phone is going to get jostled and shook a lot, and in most parts of the world is going to go through some considerably different environments and weather. And of course if you leave it plugged into the charge cable too long it'll slowly kill your battery.
These are all problems phone manufacturers -could- try to address, but why bother? More dead batteries mean more phone purchases and upkeep costs in the long run. There's zero profit incentive for them to fix the problem, so they just ... don't. It's not like there's a malicious intentional design to have your batteries cut out at some pre-determined future point.

Yeah but if you kill the old Kirara that would also take you out of existence to preserve causality. So in the end he'd take you out too just by dying.

There was some especially stupid twitter drama today. I mean, it's always stupid, but this was super stupid. Someone started having a meltdown about the meaning of the word "anti-semitism" and then someone else made a tweet saying that non-jews don't get to redefine the word anti-semitism. And then someone went into that thread and started freaking out about Israel, so the OP said their thread wasn't about Israel. So that person got mad and started telling everyone to unfollow the OP because they were "ableist" by not including the context of the thread in the thread. And now people are all up in arms and trying to fight each other about whether or not it's ableist to make a tweet that doesn't include a readily available description of the context under which the tweet was made.
Oh, then the person that got called ableist started freaking out and apologizing for being ableist and the other person refused to accept their apologize, so the person who was called ableist had an emotional breakdown and started tweeting about how they're a horrible failure and pathetic and bad.
The person who got called ableist didn't really lose any followers, but the person trying to redefine the word anti-semitism lost like 400 followers because he made the Jews mad and some of them talked a bunch of shit and got people to unfollow them.
It's all so ridiculous.
FormerRei !GURPSRWiTs
If spoon feeding idiots is wrong, I don't want to be right.
The drama yesterday was really stupid, too. Someone got upset about something a youtuber said and started fighting with the youtuber's followers, which ultimately led to that youtuber's followers retaliating and being mean to that person. Then that person made a bunch of tweets about how they were going to kill themselves and then a new twitter account appeared that claimed to be that person's sister and said they // the person had to be institutionalized because people were being so mean that she had a breakdown. Then the alleged sister posted that from the person's actual twitter account to "confirm" it And then within 12 hours the person was apparently back from being institutionalized and is now demanding a public video apology
Most people seem totally normal and fine until they show their ass and meltdown over nothing. Well, not really normal, they're all super fucked up, but most of them are fun usually. Leftist twitter drama is so funny.
Nobody has tried to pull me into any drama yet surprisingly, since I have like 1400 followers. Although one time someone asked me to help doxx an admitted sexual abuser

Well both are appropriate terms. As far as product goes she's definitely an illustrator, as her work always has the intention to, well, illustrate. Like she produces concretely illustrative works, as opposed to someone who might create more abstract work, or create a piece predominantly for artistic expression rather than to bring to life a character or scene.
But yeah she's got a super cute style and has a thing for nee-sans which is a plus for me.

It's a little bit confusing to me, there was a really nasty snow hellstorm like two weeks back but most schools remained open despite it. Sure the storm came by in the afternoon but it was bad enough that it made getting around a nightmare, and by the end of the storm waaaay more than fwenty-five centimetres of snow had fallen. So that this one is getting all the precautions rolled out feels a little strange to me.
It's also kind of weird to see, after like decades since the last universal school day -snow day to have stuff like this showing up two weeks inbetween.
>>642343 i still don't get closing shit up because of weather
Anno
The argument is that with dangerous roads and walks due to the weather, there's a n increased threat of danger to students in transport.
At least here in Ontario, students are the responsiblity of the school pretty much from the moment they leave the house. So if schools are expecting students to show up despite the inclement weather and the weather causes them harm or worse, the families involved have cause to go against the school for reparations.
>>642347 See I didn't really want to respond to this because I knew you were going to cut in in the middle of my response to say this.
!C0.PerkELE
yeah i get it but at the same time >we've never done that
>>642346 coincidentally same here students in basic education are responsibility of schools when on school trip as in leaving home and untill return from school to home
i guess it just falls to cultural attitude un the end scjools ofc don't do outdoors pe if too vold or bad weathet and likewise cancel outings and trips too but never heard of school getting cancelled because of weather, aside when storms knock out power etc
Anno
>>642348 Maybe they're not someone who is in regular interaction with Scott's Twitter? If you were to remove a lot of some of identifying stuff// Er, if you were to remove the identifying stuff and just give me his Tweets devoid of that context I might assume they come from a nutcase rather than a shitposter in some cases.
>>642349 We really, really don't like doing them. Like I said before, it's been decades since I last saw a snow day get called here. Some times I might've had a college class or something cancelled, but private institutions are allowed to make their own calls on those so whatever. I even remember a day in high school where there was an insane ice and snowstorm going on, and that I'd walked against the flow of traffic from the bus stop outside my school to the previous one in desperate hope of getting a spot on the bus. An hour later I was two stops down the line, one stop past my high school. That would have normally taken maybe five minutes tops in normal weather. Despite that storm no snow day had been called for that day or the following. Even two weeks ago where we got snowdrifts so bad some of them went up to my knees, there still wasn't a public school closing.
Another big factor is that Toronto is a very commuter-heavy city, to -so a lot of students will be making somewhat long journeys through city traffic to get to school. That combined with our ballooning population and a snail's pace development of better public transit infrastructure has left us kind of dancing a knife's edge of the whole city shutting down because our public transit can't handle the commuter load. Especially in really snowy weather that'll naturally cause delays on all transit services.
dnno in the manga he had telepathy from the very start
!C0.PerkELE
>>642353 speaking of traffic drifting buses are "fun" to be riding
Anno
>>642355 I was wondering that too a week or two's episodes back. Tezuka seems to have kind of just handwaved over it. I guess maybe he learned through feeling the shape of the strokes of each distinct character. But that doesn't explain his ability to comprehend verbal Japanese. It's kind of an impossible situation but his birth was also an impossible situation so maybe things just ... cancel each other out?
>>642357 Yeah they're a proper nightmare. There's a lot of major streets here that are built along the natural form of the hills and general slope of the geography down towards the lake, so in really nasty weather it's not uncommon to see buses and unprepared cars or trucks struggling to get up some of the steeper hills or having a rough time braking properly.
I'm aware there's a magic explanation for it. But I'm looking at this from a practical perspective, where the question arises; how do you teach someone utterly blind, deaf, and mute how to speak and write a language? It's an interestingly impossible scenario.
!C0.PerkELE
since anime left his mental abilities out, it becomes a mystery
Anno
Oh, the snow begins.
Anno
how much has already covered the ground?
Anno
>>642355 I feel like he probably learned it from the blind monk. What I want to know is how is someone who's blind gonna feel about seeing shit for the first time?
!C0.PerkELE
they also left out that the monk taught hyskkimaru his sword techniques
>>642365 I thought they showed him training him. Maybe I am remembering wrong though. >>642370 I don't like how he's changing from an easily manipulated idiot into an aggressive asshole. Wanted him to switch sides at first, but now he can just die. The other heroes sticking up for him was kind of sudden and unexpected
>>642363 Very little. Most of what's already on the ground is leftover snow that hasn't yet melted in the milder weather we've been getting lately. When I said the snow had started falling it had pretty much only just started.
>>642371 i think spear was already a dick he's more aggressive now because he's so easily led on! he thinks this evil asshole is being allowed to continue being evil
!C0.PerkELE
>>642371 i havn't caught up, but before them meeting 1st time, he already split bridges and shit im the manga the monk picked him up early and trained him up proper when he set out from the doctor
Anno
>>642373 I think on the scale of stupid to intentionally malicious he still leans hard on the stupid side. Like maybe in his normal world life he was the kind of unintentional dick like a sports jock or something of that generic trope. And now that he's getting praised for being a YUUSHA it's making things worse.
More or less, yeah. When I was coming home two weeks back after we'd had like forty centimetres of snow dumped on us there were some plough drifts like those that were almost as tall as I am. And they pretty much formed walls isolating the sidewalks off from the roads. For some parts of the walk I just stuck to the road since I was tired of stepping knee deep into snowdrifts.
>>642380 the ones on latter image are around 2m upper 3+ in larger and more street litter areas the things can be 4-6m in height with radius of 7m or larger
one street had gotten turned into practically a tunnel, due to having 1,5m walls on both sides from plowing it
the first time i walked through snow i was going really carefully but i totally misjudged the consistency of it at one point pretty early and went in up to my knee and i got really worried it meant my leg would be wet in the cold for a few hours (we were at the top of a mountain) and then when i pulled it out i wasn't wet at all i was amazed later i learned that there is snow that will make your leg wet though
!C0.PerkELE
"loska" is the worst it is basically wet snow, think of like mud but snow also it is full of all the pollution and salts and whatnots and is dirty gray in colour
also up on that mountain i walked on ice for the first time! i thought i was doing okay but then i slipped i almost fell on my ass but my sensei and my friend were walking on both sides of me and they grabbed my arms and kept me up it was really cool
my friend ran into a snow bank thinking it would be funny but it was actually super frozen and he got a concussion and couldn't read for like two days lol
!C0.PerkELE
>>642389 salting can cause city slush regardlesd of temperature which is why we don't salt walkways
>>642390 top layers of snow can melt-freeze-melt.. in the sun and get like a 50cm thick layer of icy snow that can easily survive quite hard impavts before giving in
One time here it snowed then rained, then froze, so it was really slick. But they don't have infrastructure to deal with thick ice so like a hundred people died on the road and most businesses had ice rinks for their front walkways. It was pretty fun.
>>642393 yeah i was surprised i didn't think something like that could happen on top of a mountain but i was super wrong
!C0.PerkELE
>>642395 that is what igloos are made out of coincidentally never seen a 8 or do thicker layer myself though
Anno
>>642394 Yeah, combinations of rain and snow can make for the worst winter occasions. The nastiest is getting a bit of rain and then having the temperature immediately plummet, making the rain form smooth as glass black ice. And then the precipitation continuing into snowfall that covers the ice, leaving you with no clue where the slippery-as-hell parts are until you're literally stepping on it. Makes walking anywhere a nightmare.
we were at like 2000m on the ground out near cripple creek and we took the cog train up like 2400 meters
jan and i walked up like 1000m during the hike we got to 9000 on err the one we got to 2700 meters on 9000 is the feet not meters
Anno
The ski resort I was at in British Columbia records their mountain summit at 7.608 feet above sea level. I might've gotten that high but I'm not certain? And either way their resort town is 5.758 feet up so once you're at the resort you're not making huge altitude climbs.
Mont Tremblant in Quebec is at 2,871 feet and I know for certain I've been at the top of that one though.
the highest i've been is probably around 1k meters i think physically at least >>642397 yeah, that's what happened basically, except it had snowed the day before, then warmed up above freezing and the snow continued as rain then it got below freezing while raining So everything was wet when it froze Texas weather is volatile because of the varied terrain and location or something, last week it went from 75F at midnight to 25F at midnight in 24 hours
>>642404 Yeah. Those should be commas not periods. I have a hard time hitting the right key in that corner of my keyboard some time, especially if I'm jumping my right hand between keyboard and mouse a lot.
Kirara, the Princess
oh the decimals are like commas haha yeah that makes sense
!C0.PerkELE
i wonder what the finnish fjells looked like pre-ice age
I should find out the price to rent that cabin I stayed at in Colorado Maybe we could manage a trip there
Cripple Creek is like a casino town too It's really cool
Anno
The ski resort I went to in the Rockies was great. To get to the top you had to ride like one or two normal chairlifts. And then there's a kinda-ghetto lift you need to take that you don't even sit for, you just grab onto a pull-bar and just have it tug you all the way up the rest of the route. It can kind of tire out your arms, hah hah. But the skiing/snowboarding experience on the mountain summit is beyond amazing. Definitely worth the extra effort.
!C0.PerkELE
btw did you know that finland grows every year by fe squared?
>>642412 Providing winter isn't ending too fast, late February to mid-March can be some of the best times for skiing or snowboarding. Temperatures can be milder and more manageable, but good slopes will still have plenty of snow. But pretty much any point after snow begins falling until it's melting too fast to be replenished is the season for it.
Ski resorts these days will have pretty comprehensive reports on which of their slopes have enough snow on them and whether whole sections of their resort are open or not. They update their websites with that information some times several times daily.
>>642416 heh here on 8-10. week depending where you live, thete is a week long vacation for schools simpky called "skii-ing vacation"
Anno
>>642417 Well they don't quite have the shock and awe of the Rockies, but the Appalachians will definitely have decent skiing places too. There's one resort in upstate New York that my family has gone to at least half a dozen times. Providing we can all get out there, the Rockies would probably be the better, or at least more intense, experience, but there are definitely options closer to home for us East Coast kids.
!C0.PerkELE
haa i havn~t been to any decent place in years jyst the southern tiny hills wish i had munies
Anno
I haven't gone snowboarding in years. There aren't really any good locations close to me and I can't really be arsed to do the long trips that often. And being out on the hills can be a really draining experience. I didn't really have al -a lot of people to do it with back when I was still snowboarding regularly so I kind of just lost interest. Plus once you've been down a hill a couple times the twenty minutes of sitting on a lift freezing your arse off for the sake of three minutes on the slope starts to not really be worth it.
!C0.PerkELE
aöso just realised i have been using same skis for 13+ years would be damn weird to buy new ones or use rentals at this point
>>642420 Rockies in Canada? I think Rook has been going to the Rockies out in Colorado.
Hmm, Appalachians might be good. We could do a few days of skiing and then maybe hang out in some other naturey stuff.
!C0.PerkELE
ladt time i was skiing few weeks back had this fun momemt >okay going full speed duper pro s shape down like an olympic athlete >going fine >uuh that turn didn~t go fine at all >okay split second devision time, do i teist weight or go for controlled fall >brain: BOTH >uuuh... >proceed to stylishöy tumble around 70m down the hill before coming to a stop
Anno
>>642424 Well my experience with the Rockies are the Canadian ones but I assume the mountains don't really discriminate between the border humans have drawn down the -through the middle of them. The Appalachians are smoother mountains, and they don't ever get as high as the taller mountains in the Rockies. Generally the Rockies will have more diverse and more intense slope options and are more likely to remain open longer into the season. They're probably also generally more expensive but don't quote me on that. A feature of the Appalachians might be that there'll be more variety in stuff like glades skiing, which are slopes that have sparse forests you're free to turn into and ski between trees. It can be a pretty scenic and enjoyable experience to slow down and take in, but it's also kind of a really anxiety-inducing route since you're constantly having to make sharp turns to dodge trees, hah hah. Though regardless of where you choose to go a large-enough ski resort will probably have trails that cater to whatever niche skiing/snowboarding interest you've got.
*twist weight as in adjust position to regain balance
!C0.PerkELE
so what do you call just regular skii-ing?
Anno
Skiing, pretty much.
If you're on a mountain or hill's slopes you're downhill or alpine skiing. If you're talking about just sticking on skiis and going for a winter hike we call that cross-country skiing.
!C0.PerkELE
limited language alas
!C0.PerkELE
laskettelu lit. "going down" for downhill includes snowboarding too in it and hiihtäminen/hiihtää for skiing
Anno
If people ask me if I ski I'll probably say "yeah, I snowboard". Which pretty much affirms the way "laskettelu" lumps snowboarding into the same hobby. But it's also important to be precise so someone doesn't just hand me skiis and expects me to know what to do with them.
!C0.PerkELE
sukset for skiis
!C0.PerkELE
would be gun to add a kind of batman cape-glider attached to uour back and skii-poles that you could deploy as an air-brake
!C0.PerkELE
or the wings of a gliding suit
!C0.PerkELE
would also make jumping much cooler, since you could potenyially glide some neat airtime
!C0.PerkELE
>ski jumping ie telemark landing is actually same as superhero landing
Anno
I think that was something you could do in that winter sports game Steep. Though I don't remember if you can seamlessly transition from skiing to air-gliding in the game.
!C0.PerkELE
teldmark skiis would be fun to test atleast once
Anno
This snow day has kind of thrown my day's plan into disarray. I was intending to try and nap a bit in the afternoon after class and chatting with a friend over coffee. But now I have no reason to get caffeinated and so not much energy to keep myself awake until the time I was planning on napping at. So I guess I'll just sleep when I want to?
I don't like it when I plan something out only for all the planning to end up pointless.
I don't even know anymore man. I'm so deep in the winter hole I've forgotten what it's like to be in an actually nice season.
!C0.PerkELE
what is sun?
!C0.PerkELE
>>642446 i like winter tho is just amusing how it is always cloudy during our short days

nuke it

I like winter a lot it's usually nice weather, here Doesn't get too cold or for long anyways Just wish
!C0.PerkELE
i enjoy the cold and snow i hate it when it rains during winter
Anno
>>642451 ok just close my fucking browser to update thanks
just wish I could get to experience this horrible cold people with colder climates talk about I guess >>642452 it rains a lot in winter here, but it isn't so bad usually since it isn't cold
!C0.PerkELE
let's move to alaska
!C0.PerkELE
>>642453 rain removes snow or turns it into icehell also removes snow from trees and shit removing the beautiful silver paintjob
Anno
>>642454 i knew a guy who lived in alaska he said it was miserable and cheerios cost $12 for a normal size box haha he had to get his local groceries shipped in via fucking boat or something so it was super expensive
ToN
ive been told that at 1 pm we’ll get busy but being upstairs a big difference from being downstairs for now
>>642461 no idea where he lived actually he probably told me and i forgot tbh
i knew another guy that lived in far northern canada and he seemed to not mind that his coffee fucking froze if he didn't put it on the warmer he was way cooler than alaska-kun
Anno
damn /moe/ died the death
Anno
it usually dies between two hours ago and now that was an usually active period just now unusually
Anno
ah i see i'm usually asleep by now every day except for tuesday normally i'd be playing games but i'm still in post-KH3 depression
i made friends with the guy at the phone repair place his sister is in the undergraduate program that i got my bachelor's in i told him she could reach out to me if she has any questions about psychology stuff
little does he know i want to recruit his sister to do meaningless mind-numbing work for one of my research teams
Anno
man i've put off fixing my laptop for like over a month now i know what i need and how to fix it but i just haven't done it for no reason sometimes i wonder if one day i'll be too lazy to breathe and just suffocate >>642469 that's proper delegation get people to rely on you then you can use them for your needs too i wonder how phone repair places make money anyway are the parts cheap or something?
there must be a way to get parts in bulk for cheap
you can buy a galaxy S7 battery for like $20 on amazon it looks like but those might not be great batteries maybe they are but it's like $60 for them to replace it at this place the guy told me it takes like an hour to replace the battery in the S7 because you have to take all of the components out and put them back in
seems like pretty good profit for what takes like an hour yeah i guess they're kind of like mechanics and make profit on labor
oh did you try the DMC5 demo yet? it finally came to PS4 like last week. i really liked it but it was damn short Feels just like DMC4 Nero but with more variety instead of just grapple for your arm attack, there's only like 3 arms in the demo though My life is waiting for DMC now
yeah it's probably profit on labor. but idk, the reviews on google said they can replace iphone screens for like $100 and i think those are really expensive to buy the screen part for. google says it's like $120 for the screen idk though they might have a good supplier or something nobody in the reviews complained about the screens so i assume they're quality
have you played REmake yet it's so good there's a bunch of new DLC stories coming out this week i think
Anno
apple parts seem to be unreasonably expensive and proprietary in general but you can probably get licensed by apple and get a discount buying from them or some such those fuckers won't even let you sell iphone chargers unless you get your product certified through them for a fee haha >>642473 I haven't played it yet, feel like I probably shouldn't be spending any more money on games after preordering DMC and sekiro i gotta sort my shit before wasting money like that on games again i guess it does look really good though i loved RE2 when i was a kid and played it on the n64
i have metro and sekiro on my docket im probably gonna wait a little bit to get DMC5 i'm gonna try to get fish to play some of the other DMCs before we get it
REmake is so good. it's like legit spooky. it's so nice how difficult it is compared to all the other zombie shit too like you know it's the real shit where if you absolutely gotta shoot something you try to take off its leg because headshots are wasteful and lickers are so fucking scary they're blind ofc so you can sneak past them sometimes but if they figure out where you are they can fuckin destroy you so fast and it takes like 3 magnum shots to their dog garn brain to kill them they're super strong and when i turn a corner and see mr. x, my stomach legit drops and i gotta stop myself from panicking
the new DLC has three new stories, you get to play as the gun shop owner, the mayor's daughter , and someone else who was it oh yeah some soldier or something not hunk, hunk already has his mode
i heard they're already working on a remake of RE3
Anno
>>642475 i was looking at metro but i'm not familiar with the series so i wasn't real sure about it probably a good idea to play DMC4 at least so she's familiar with the characters relevant to the new one I think DMC3 is a better game though
the special edition of 4 has some cool features >>642477 yeah it does, but DMC2 is a bad game and not relevant to the plot like 4 and 3 not really a good look for someone new to the series and DMC1 is kind of dated and clunky by modern action game standards, though it's still pretty fun >>642475 it doesn't really take much to spook me haha mr. x looks awesome, he's like nemesis from 3 right? the game looks pretty intense all around, definitely not that goofy polygonal game that terrified me back then i didn't really like 5 and didn't even play the games afterwards so it's nice that they're trying a different angle finally i guess REmake leon is the one who transformed into the badass leon from 4 makes a lot more sense to me anywayas
Kirara, the Princess
i thought DMC5 takes place after DMC2 chronologically
yeah mr x is kind of like nemesis mr x was in the original RE2 though he's the tyrant that follows you around in the B stories he wasn't called mr x back then though he got that name in a book or something i think the RE2 novel in REmake he follows you around in both A and B the game gets the lighting and sounds perfectly which makes it really spooky it's a lot more streamlined than the original too leon is pretty cool but i still feel like he gets way more badass in 4
lol after leon loses ada in REmake he's like super depressed about it and then sherry is lookin at claire and leon and all "are you guys boyfriend and girlfriend" and claire is like "haha! it would be hell of a first date!" and looks at leon expectantly and leon's just like "uhh haha yeah..." poor claire
Anno
yeah they definitely nailed the realism in the last game and this one visually at least it looks really great i didn't know that he was just the tyrant though that's pretty neat it's been so long since i played the game that it'd probably be just as fresh as anything by now 4 was really over the top but still spooky sometimes, it had a good balance they fucked up in 5
claire is fucking bargain bin jill she probably can't even unlock a breadbox
tbh i didn't play a single game other than KH3 since it came out until i finished it with almost 100% completion i literally played 100 hours in 2 weeks like it was my fucking job i'm sad it's over now
5 was pretty bad yeah it was way too actiony. 6 was bad too. 7 was really good, it was first-person survival horror and it was actually super spooky although i think sometimes it was a little too confusing and it would have been better in third-person although some of the spooks in it only would work in first-person because there were some jump spooks but those suck anyway 7 and 2 were done in the same engine you can't even remake 5 and make it spooky unless you change everything about it because the whole thing takes place outside in sunny africa
Probably awesome I looked at the back and it seems like betrayal at the house on the hill type exploration and then also guns that you roll dice to shoot. It's like $110 but i really want it.
Anno
https://www.polygon.com/platform/amp/2019/2/11/18221243/dark-souls-bloodborne-twitch-no-hit-run-ruined-demons-souls this is so strange why not just play other games instead of trying to beat 5 of them in a row without taking damage for the 752nd time >>642483 holy shit $110 for a board game? that sounds excessive to me

>>642484 When I first got into MtG it was at the very first NY ComicCon. I rolled really high on a d20 and I was allowed to take any prize I wanted except for the d20 only prizes which were almost all very pricey tabletop stuff like a few board games.
I chose a magic deck though which wasn't a very high level prize but I wanted to learn it since a number of my friends played.

It was a very huge fuzzy d20. And now that I think about it, I want one.

i would have no place to put it. I need to organize my room better.
I've got another new, weird client. This guy is a real talker. And when he did his drug screen, he came out and started talking about how his pee is usually fluorescent because he takes so many vitamins or something and he was disappointed that it wasn't this time.
Anno
Berocca will do that you so I guess other vitamin stuff does
also someone told me that pee-chan is apparently having nightmares about that client of hers that killed themselves and stuff she told our supervisor and our supervisor told me because only like four of us know what happened at the clinic and now it feels like i have to offer more support and spend time with her because social contact is an important protective factor against PTSD which she might be developing
but at the same time i really don't want to do that because i wouldn't be able to invite fish along and that would bother fish mou
they don't get along but more importantly fish isn't "supposed" to know about what happened pee-chan legit made me pinky promise not to tell anyone which is really weird we're adults but whatever i guess it's really serious to her like legit did the pinky thing so pee-chan would probably get upset if she knew i told fish
also pee-chan is super lacking in confidence so she refuses to lead groups even when she designs the session so i have to take over which is fine i usually lead the group but it's the principle of it why even come if you won't take charge she's fine at it and i've told her a million times she does fine people can be so incredibly troublesome
I could be better! But I'm not doing that good. err that bad How are you?
Anno
I had noooothing to do today. A really nasty storm of snow and ice came in to the city and so everything pre-emptively shut down in the morning. So it's been a pretty lazy day for me.
ToN
the new work they have me doing is simple enough so im good about to go home in about half an hour
oh and what's this someone i barely know doxxed themselves to me in my direct messages on twitter great wonderful
Anno
I get there might be a bit of a moral obligation within the cohort to look after one another but ultimately your priorities should be with yourself. Really it's kind of unfair that you're the one that constantly gets tasked with these maintenance aspects.
my biggest concern for today was once again the kids in my juvenile group one of the girls in it very clearly wants to get something out of therapy but isn't benefiting from the group format so i want to give her an opportunity to do individual therapy and my boss doesn't want to let me do individual with her well, won't let anyone do individual with her
yeah i don't really get it my boss seems to be having some kind of weird transference with the girls in that group where she's basically trying to treat them like she treats her daughters which is very sternly i'm gonna talk to her about it but she gets defensive easily
my colleagues don't like the kids either though it's really unfortunate
yeah but i don't want to do that until after i try to work it out with my boss i have like three levels of bosses i've got the person who technically runs the groups (the one with transferrence), and then there's the person that runs our whole substance use program, and then the, i guess she's the CEO of the clinic or the director or whatever and everyone's amenable so i can easily talk with them about anything i have all of them in my phone and the program lead texts me memes and stuff
one of the girls in the juvenile group is so fuckin stupid she's too stupid to even fake that she's getting better every single week she comes and talks about how great weed is and every week i'm like "at least pretend like you're on board here you know we can't discharge you until you're improved" she's never going to get off probation at this rate
Yeah. Hyakkimaru's the kind of guy you really just want to give a hug to. Even when things go well for him it's accompanied by something utterly terrible.
i didn't watch the original anime though 1969 might be older than anything i've watched
Anno
I haven't actually read any of Tezuka's original works so it's all a pretty fresh experience to me. One thing that's kind of neat is how the story is pretty emotional despite coming from such a cartoony artstyle.
Kirara, the Princess
https://www.disclose.tv/amp/360917 fish just showed me this
>>642559 Oh I heard about this yesterday. Didn't really go much more in-depth than just hearing about it though. I don't really want to see a lot of information about a decaying shark carcass.
the kids listed some of the worst things that have ever happened to them and they had stuff like "forgetting my netflix password" or "going 2 hours without eating" ahh to be young
it's kinda weird how everyone in slime is always like "ohhhhhhhhhhhh!! rimuru-dono!!! please have mercy!!" and rimuru is always just like "lol whatever sure" and yet they always stay so dramatic
Anno
>>642581 I'm impressed a name as bizarre as "In the afterlife, he is still a small fireman" got consistently translated each time it showed up. You'd expect it to become one of those weird mutation names.
月
i wish i knew what that was intended to mean
Anno
>>642585 They kind of jump from one big threat to another without much inbetween. It kind of creates a weird lacking of gravity of the situation. Like I think the Orc Lord got a lot more screentime and implied menace than the Assault Dragon Charydbis.
yeah there's really no gravity at all in anything that happens and it's kind of repetitive
Kirara, the Princess
someone tried to tell me that the doctor prescribing them medical marijuana recommended they use 100g daily one hundred grams of marijuana daily
FormerRei !GURPSRWiTs
that's a lot of weed
Kirara, the Princess
im not sure if i should believe it because i dont know how doctors are treating weed but regardless of whether they're actually recommending that, it's super ridiculous
the client was having trouble using 25g a day and i was like no shit that's a ridiculous amount of pot i can't stop thinking that there must have been some kind of communication error between him and his doctor
Anno
Even 2.5 grams a day is kind of a largish amount. Unless you're pretty desensitized I guess.
Anno
Aisu scream
bang
25g a day is he fucking rich does he grow what the absolute shit that's actually physically difficult to do unless you're lighting a little fucking weed bonfire on your goddamned desk
I was laying in my desk chair with my feet propped up with a blanket and trying to sleep kind of while watching a video and just now I woke up with that same blanket except on the floor several feet away and I don't remember leaving that chair.
Anno
Maybe you kicked it off.
Maybe it's Maybeline
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
>>642601 Way too far to have fallen out of this chair.
FormerRei@mobile
I have a friend who fell asleep in a chair while reading and then fell off and dislocated his shoulder.
>>642614 Oh that's a lot less weird. Sounds like you just sleep-got up and went someone more comfortable. Maybe next time settle down in your bed first before getting tired.
>>642647 HE LIGHTNING KICKS HIM! HE ACTUALLY LIGHTNING KICKS HIM!
Anno
I keep forgetting we don't have decent-sized bandages and I keep forgetting to go shopping for them. Typing is really annoying when you've got one of your index fingers wrapped up in a tissue.
Anno
i'm 5-1 as zelda boys big thanks to the lil mac who rematched me even though he got 3 stocked
Anno
>>642664 its so hard to hit it haha i've gotten like 2 fair and one dair
>get to 3.4m as zelda >lose 5 games in a row yeah that's about right
Anno
Got to build you up high before they can knock you down.
月
just got this advertisement >>>/watch?v=X1Avnrym2JY i take back what i said yesterday about that leeg advert being over the top
Anno
Oh I've seen that one here and there recently. They're definitely being a bit ridiculous with the ad.
月
that kid in the park though everyone's like "oh he's so cool" that kid woulda been laughed at and recorded and uploaded to youtube for other people to laugh at too if it wasn't a directed commercial
ive been using kratom really hard and don't experience anything at all when i stop for like a week or a month where are the opiate-like withdrawals i heard about i feel like ive been lied to and im kind of disappointed why even stop using it if im not gonna get dopesick
not especially but no real complaints if i do maybe im going through it but it's just so mild compared to my normal levels of suffering that i dont notice it and everyone grossly exaggerates withdrawal for narrative effect
Kirara, the Princess
i figure it's people already addicted to opioids that get it ive never heard of others getting it like they get off the opioids but they get that dependence again
月
yeah wish i had a perk of sets
Kirara, the Princess
i wish i was a perk of sets
月
i wish they didn't package it with acetaminophen though i think the sublingual morphine i had didn't do that but percocet does that shit's rough
Anno
oh god my gamecube controller analog stick is drifting it only took uhh 17 years
Anno
you guys getting high on downers again weirdos
月
just trying to turn down the volume on my bones that's all
Anno
is the volume so loud its rattling your skeleton?
ToN
i am a skeleton
Kirara, the Princess
>>642773 ive never had the opportunity to use anything without acetaminophen except codeine
月
codeine is for teeth teeth are like bone imposters not really the real thing
Kirara, the Princess
yeah basically at least they're not as fake as nails
Anno
teeth are just half bones
月
>>642779 i see no clinical reason why they do this except for dose titration or insurance pressures/CMS
Anno
its a mild adjuvant that gives a reason to not take too much
Kirara, the Princess
>>642783 i thought it was dose titration yeah i just assume though >>642784 lol
Anno
it's not a very good reason
月
i always thought it was interesting that the pioneer study that was government-funded by the UK on the effects of alcohol on the liver indicated 40% of chronic users develop severe liver disease after 10 years as a very liberal estimate when that's also about the percentage of people in the UK that used paracetamol (acetaminophen) regularly at the time
>>642789 the researchers said basically that a lot of the data was inconclusive but they had to put together a report, and for public safety they erred everything on the side of very cautious i was going to say liberal caution but when talking about caution, i dont know whether more caution is considered conservative caution or liberal caution
do you ever think that if google uses its data gathered to model how people think and to make an AI out of it that we'll end up with really stupid AI
Anno
people are stupid so an ai made out of people's internet habits is going to be fucking stupid
Kirara, the Princess
>>642823 i think this will absolutely happen and you'll ask it about something and it'll just go off on a tangent about something you don't care about but google will consider that genius
月
i imagine a kidney surgeon would get like URGENT NOTIFICATION ABOUT THIS SURGERY >ok let me check it out THE KIDNEY IS IN ORGAN THAT REGULATES FLUIDS IN MOST ANIMALS
Anno
how do you clean blood stains off walls
FormerRei@mobile
>>642827 Hydrogen peroxide Wait no That's in fabrics
FormerRei@mobile
>>642827 Check wikiHow They'll probably even have an illustrated guide.
Anno
>>>/watch?v=laeQn4kN2kg if you ever wanted to watch an hour long summary of RE4 by a guy with a silly aussie accent now's your chance
hey kirara i was reading one my journaly things and saw a career thingy at a university doing psych assessments for the department of corrections isn't that what you do now this one required a doctorate though is there a different thing that you can only do once you have a doctorate and are licensed versus what youre doing now or you're probably already licensed now aren't you it looked like a heckload of money though
>>642831 you have to be licensed or practice under a licensed clinician to practice im not licensed so when i work, im working under my supervisor's license i do the work of a doctoral level clinician, though only people with doctorates can administer and interpret psych testing and stuff like that
I don't have it on me but there's new ones for socie and lecia too. maybe others.
Anno
Oh geez it's 16:10. I've been sleeping for like twelve hours.
Samu !KW2DbpWwls
i'm gettin hyped for the nintendo direct at https://www.twitch.tv/relaxalax
FormerRei@mobile
Does the switch support usb hubs?
Samu !KW2DbpWwls
idk i know ninty isn't the best at USB standards but i feel like it should
FormerRei@mobile
It would be a shame if it didn't Cause then you couldn't play smash online with Ethernet while using a GameCube controller.
Samu !KW2DbpWwls
i had to buy a slightly proprietary (but 3rd party) usb c hdmi adapter thing well i didn't have to buy it but anyway that's what i'm using while travelling
freakin ninty refuses to put a dedicated ethernet into the dock cmonBruh pay the licensing fee
Anno
But Samu that costs MONEY.
Samu !KW2DbpWwls
and hordes of smash players complaining about lag costs rep
Samu !KW2DbpWwls
T minus 12 minutes babyyy this better not just be FE for 35 min straight
Anno
What if it's Animal Crossing for thirty-five minutes straight
FormerRei@mobile
I want a new wariogame A good one That isn't warioware
Samu !KW2DbpWwls
i heard Waluigi's Taco Stand is dropping later tonight

Nearly half a year after it went dark due to a planet-wide dust storm, the Mars rover Opportunity has finally been declared unresponsive and NASA will cease its regular attempts to resume contact.
>>642883 Was it? I had some Internet issues in the first couple minutes so I only came in when the Marvel game was showing.
Samu !KW2DbpWwls
>>642885 yea it was the cold open! cat mario confirmed
Samu !KW2DbpWwls
SMASH
Anno
Don't smash
Anno
>What are we adding? >lol we're not gonna tell you
Samu !KW2DbpWwls
... that was it? hoping for a One More Thing
Anno
>Spring time is the best time to smash Okay Narrator-guy
Samu !KW2DbpWwls
rip there's gotta be something at the end so all the viewers watch or maybe jebaited
Anno
I think Sakurai would just rather stuff remained secretive. It's kind of silly to reserve a bit in a Direct to just say there's an update coming out but I guess that's that.
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
>bloodstained release date finally.
Anno
>THAT classic RPG series Oh it's just Dragon Quest
Samu !KW2DbpWwls
perfectly balanced as all things should be
Anno
>>642896 Marvel and Dragon Quest mash-up confirmed.
Anno
>Oh this guy has a skill that lets him throw two boomerangs >Let's just call the skill Twoomerang
>>642905 Rune Factory was previously a Harvest Moon spin-off in a magical fantasy world with monsters and dungeon diving. Kind of like Harvest Moon but with a fairly complex crafting and simplistic combat system. The series kind of went on what I thought was permanent hiatus when the studio that made it shut down. So I'm really happy to see they're making a fifth.
Samu !KW2DbpWwls
tfw not reincarnated
Samu !KW2DbpWwls
just show us the FE already
Anno
I bet Rika would be happy to hear there's a Rune Factory 5 coming out.
onnA
Don't just show FE already That's the end
Samu !KW2DbpWwls
it's happening can't stop it
onnA
let it be the e- welp welcome to the end
Samu !KW2DbpWwls
oh she's a cutie
Anno
What is this twelve frames per second animation though.
Samu !KW2DbpWwls
i think it makes it better it's like spiderverse and other half cgi animations
Anno
>That heeds no king or emperor NO GODS NO MASTERS
Samu !KW2DbpWwls
midriff window on heavy armor fuck it
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
>mercenery lead by your dad that sounds familiar
Anno
I hope the game comes with Japanese dialogue. The Fire Emblem games have been exhaustively lacking in that.
Anno
Aw hell yeah look at this Claude man. I totally knew NO GODS NO MASTERS would be the best faction.
>>642939 Super Mario Maker 2 Fire Emblem is coming out in June There's going to be a Tetris battle royale game free for download Rune Factory 4 is getting ported to Switch and a fifth game is in development
Samu !KW2DbpWwls
lul great trailer
Samu !KW2DbpWwls
frisk for smash???
Anno
>>642942 Sans for Smash. Final Smash plays Megalovania
Anno
Oh a demo for Daemon X Machina. They even want feedback from players after it. That might be interesting.
>>642984 wow that bird's got a little extra meat are you fattening her up
Mahou Shoujo Marsh-chan
>>642961 it's possible but I missed my anime and shitposting
Anno
>>642988 Speaking of your anime, Handshakers got a surprise sequel season this season. In case you enjoyed that and it was more than just a cute girl show.
