>>828112 Yeah, I work full time as a doctoral level clinician right now while I finish school to officially get my doctorate. The only thing I hate is school since I'm pretty far past the level they expect me to be at. I'm already working as a consultant, too, and I make $100/hr doing that.
>>828113 sounds like a great gig to have - school always does suck when you realize it's more about regurgitation than knowing your stuff if you had a million dollars (read: financial independence) what would you rather do wit h your life?
Anno
We both know you won't, bub
Anno
>>828117 It's a pretty narrow mindset to think all school is regurgitation. >>828120 Hey bud let me finish my point before you run off on completely the wrong point.
A lot of education is built on conversation and understanding how to develop strong logic and good arguing skills. I know a lot of lazy memes like to shit on the arts but this is exactly what those kinds of classes are designed to do. And because of that you can't really just regurgitate information because that's not developing logic and arguing skills in the slightest.
Anno
>>828119 school != education but I think academia is fairly diseased - sure you can always add extra exceptions to any swiping statemnt
Kirara 🍄 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
>>828117 I'd still do what I do. I love my job and I love my work, where I work, and who I work with.

>>828122 If I had a million dollars, I might take a little less time with clients to focus on research or something occasionally, but only for short periods of time because my workplace can't function without me (literally) and my clients need me.
>>828119 you raise a lot of good poitns; I don't really know about these classes that teach these strong bouts of logic: it seems most schoolings have some source of "truth" that you must abide by - that frontier "unknown" spirit or questioning everything seems to be mostly gone as for whether or not it's worth developing arguing skills, I'm not sure. I don't really like arguing with people, for the premise usually assumes no one will listen to each other and just try to prove what they know
Either way, developing cohesive logic can be formed from extensive reading or studying yourself, no?
Anno
>>828126 Arguing skills are a blanket skill that goes far beyond just arguing with other people. Understanding how to make a strong argument and phrase your intentions in the strongest possible way is almost universally applicable. It also extends to making clean, exact points, which in a lot of work environments is crucial. Not just office jobs and fields like that, but even in scientific fields; too many people that enter thoes fields don't tke the time to learn how to make good arguments -- oftentimes because they can be dismissive of "The Arts" -- and suffer from poor communication skills on a professional level. Being understanding of good arguments and clean logic is so useful just for being a decent human being that I really wish people took it more seriously.
As for developing cohesive logic, you're not wrong, but at the same time effectively ANYTHING can be formed from extensive reading and studying yourself, providing the material is available or you know how to obtain it. What school and academic environments do is offer you an environment designed to deliver you those resources and help you build social links with others studying it and provide access to those who have studied it for years, decades, etc. Like sure, you can wander around in a dark room and eventually find your phone, right? But why not grab a flashlight or flip the lightswitch and use the infrastructure already in place to accelerate you finding it?
Kirara 🍄 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
in my view the majority of academia is to serve as a gateway to certain professions although most people agree that i'm well beyond qualified, for example, i still have to complete school solely to get a piece of paper that says i can get licensed - there is no other benefit to it for me at the same time, most of my colleagues in my graduate program are extremely underqualified and dont know basic health care terms like level of care despite being in the same place in the program as me in fact most of them are "more successful" than me in the program
despite that i'm the only person that has any post-doc job offers despite not even having my doctorate yet and i have two of these offers i also work as a consultant for the courts and do program management and development
but i haven't "done the time" yet so i'm still considered to be at the same level as people who can barely get through a suicide risk assessment without crying
Anno
>>828128 >"more successful" for school measures obedience over merit at least from what I've experienced >>828127 The stem-brain meme is real, I understand what you mean. There's no longer a reverence for mostly anything than utilitarian causes other than* utili-
>>828127 That's a great metaphor for the phone - as for a reason I wouldn't want to use the infrastructure in place is because of either two things 1. it takes way too much of your time 2. the infrastructure is at ends with your goals
for one, schooling or in general many academic environments I've been have such a snail's pace
for two, I have a lot of distrust in those that may control the infrastructure, for their motivations for providing this environment are not that sound Most colleges are just trying to be for-profit, which is why we see a crazy amount of people with student deb t and little means to fix it

>>828146 now THIS would be innovative either being able to map a button into push tot alk for any game/program or having a dedicated button for it
Anno
>>828139 Well the metaphor holds that using the infrastructure ends up saving you time because instead of being clueles as to the most efficient route to educating yourself, an academic environment is efficient from centuries of practical experience as to how to impart this information onto the student. There are a lot of for-profit colleges out there, sure, I think it's important to do your research and see if the place you're looking into is something like that or if it is actively producing an academic environment. Maybe your local situation has it that most education institutions around are shallow and for-profit, but in my time studying at university I've found absolutely no shortage of faculty and support systems that earnestly want me to succeed and engage in the academic environment. It's hard for me to believe that universally the education system is shallow when I objectively have evidence to the contrary right in front of my eyes.

>>828159 yeah for sure 5 years of school is hardly necessary a doctor could have 4-5 students and train them over the course of a few years and they'd be more capable than anyone straight out of med school

>>828191 Well if you believe the early canon, only catholic priests can do exorcism this heils from how Peter was given the keys to heaven and the bishop of rome, the pope, is his successor and thus only his followers, those ordained by the pope can actually banish the evil spirits and demons from people.
FormerRei@mobile
>>828198 There's other religions aside from Christianity.

I mean I don't believe ANY of the canon, early, mid, or late, so really any Joe off the street can do exorcisms. I'll disbelieve him equally though.
!C0.PerkELE
>>828199 We are strictly talking about christian exorcism here, tho
>>828200 There's historical basis ffor some stuff in the Christian bible and the Torah. Although they aren't meant to be taken literally for everything in them.
!C0.PerkELE
>>828200 mmh but the point here is that some exorcist are more professional at it if you want a catholic priest to do one, they will throw you into a mental asylum etc basically they say "you crazy man, go get your head checked" and only after exhausting all worldly ways of medicine, will they actually look at your case seriously
which is a respectable point in my view, even if I usually dislike most things catholic
Anno
That's a bit nice to know, I guess. I suppose if I ever know someone who's so bonkers they think a situation needs an exorcism and I can't convince them otherwise I'll try to encourage a Catholic one. If I just don't walk away from the situation beforehand.
!C0.PerkELE
funny fact our church doesn't do exorcism they say "go to the catholics, they are ordained for it" which is bit funny, since one of thep oints of luther was to deny pope's authority and so on but apparently the bit about "who can banish daemons" stuck
I should ask my former roommate about orthodox view on demons and exorcism they do do it, but that is prolly age old canon
well orthodox church has a lot of mythic stuff in it anyhow, which is quite either capturing or alienating depending on your personality
but it is indeed bit more fantasy church than any protestant church for example and while being pompous and golden as the catholic ones are, with lot more restrictions to it too, for example no oneaside priests behind the altar and so on and the weird saint things which I still argue is aform of idolatry they aren't arrogant I think atleast, as the catholics (atleast in the past) seem to be
ofc I am biased since I have a lot of orthodox friends

do tell my hunter cousin's husband didn't know it

Oh no I was asking you hah hah I wouldn't know.

he was all "I dunno" when I asked when he was in university in helsinki, he used his compound bow to hunt cityrabbits they had a freezer filled with rabbit meat when they moved out I got few kgs for myself, as they couldn't possibly take it all
and I mean like a big freezer
saved them, two students, a lot of money when the meat they ate was mainly game hunted by the guy
!C0.PerkELE
a bit of backstory, during the worst case of rabbit boom here, caused by people freeing their pet bunnies we had like tens of millions of bunnies, so one of the solutions was just "anyone with a bow and a hunting license can easily get a permit to hunt them" and well it did start working
but then the green party gave the pest animals, even within city limits, a period of no hunting, basically the main BREEDING SEASON so it was back to drawing board
amusingly, the problem solved itself by having some disease, rabbit plague it was dubbed here, kill basically 99% of the population

amusing side effect of the dead rabbit population was how city foxes also died out either left the cities or starved

In response to women wanting to become rabbis a prominent Orthodox rabbi said "Women belong on the bimah as much as an orange belongs on a Seder plate" and people have been putting oranges on Seder plates ever since.

All I really know as far as seder goes is the traditions my family has. The extent of Jewish leftist circles talking about seder usually goes into ending capitalism and stuff like that, like the Jewdas seder a few years ago that people tried to turn into a scandal for Corbyn.

The transit here has laid out rules for riding buses during the pandemic, mainly that because they don't want passengers coming within two metres of the bus driver, passengers can no longer board the bus at the front unless they need a boarding ramp. Which creates an issue of paying fare for the ride, since the fare box is at the front of the bus, if the passenger is paying with cash or some other quantity medium. So the commission just says "Okay if you're paying with cash, tokens, etc.; you can just board for free, but please pay your fare as soon as you can (e.g. at the station). But if you pay with the transit's card, please tap at the device at the back doors of the bus.
But the thing is. There's no one who can really accost you for getting on the bus without paying. And even if they do, they can't really prove you have a card that can be tapped. So what they're effectively saying is, everyone who wants to ride the transit for free during the pandemic, can pretty much do it and get away with it.
my parents are probably going to do lord's supper over zoom or skype or something and i kinda want to join but I'm incredibly tired and also kinda dont think I should be around people

Here they just said fuck it and made buses free since the only people who are meant to be using them are essential workers If there's going to be issues with paying for fares then might as well make it free, is the reasoning I guess
>>828300 Transit here is pitifully under-subsidized by government at pretty much every level so the commission is pretty much always looking to make as much money as they can from fare. Recently they even had an advertising campaign trying to intimidate riders into not committing fare evasion and hired on a bunch of fare inspectors to stalk stations and busy bus lines to make sure people weren't skimping. It was not received particularly well, and they've even taken off the fare inspectors during the pandemic. I wonder if they'll just not reinstate them once things are normal. But because of that I'm not surprised they're going "Okay we can't actually catch you if you're trying to ride the bus without paying when you really could but pleasepleasepleaseplease pay us"

>>828302 really makes you wonder if the additional revenue outweighs the costs of paying the fare inspectors I wonder if they'd be better off if they just like, put up a bunch of fake cameras and maybe some posters saying they're watching for fare evaders
FormerRei@mobile
>>828305 Yeah, I think I'll try an all nighter tomorrow night.
We have cameras here and I see fare dodgers all the time.
Anno
>>828306 The posters are already kinda what they've got going on with the ad campaigns, since the ads are entirely located on station and vehicle ad boards. It's kind of intimidating, but honestly it doesn't hold up to a bit of analysis. Like hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people use the transit every day. Some of the station entrances and exits are PACKED. Even if you catch on camera someone evading paying, what are you going to do? Catch them next time they come through with the dozens of people in a short moment to harrass them about the money? Do the cameras even have good enough fidelity to catch the features of or concretely prove fare evasion? Like I know they'd be fake cameras they don't need to work. But if the evader can rationalize that a real camera wouldn't be a detriment to their evading, a fake one's not gonna intimidate them either.
FormerRei@mobile
Catching fare evaders and fining them a few hundred dollars could work though. Just catch a few and put them on posters and say how much they were fined.

>>828310 yeah it's certainly not something that I'd expect to stop every fare evader But it's cheap enough that it'd only need to stop a few for a net gain

Depends on your plan. Generally I think it is always expensive for the caller though, and while I'm not certain I think texts only cost the sender. Since that would be an easy way to wreck someone financially by spamming them with international texts.

Goblin Slayer absolute good time, still don't get the whiny controversy over // that happened at release, it was really tame compared to what people made it seem
>>828455 It's a subject that can be extremely distressing for people to encounter unexpectedly, often even expectedly. For the people that weren't expecting such a sharp turn in an anime -- when was the last time a fairly hyped and in-the-limelight anime had such a brazen example of rape in the first ten minutes -- it can be extremely unpleasant.
>>828460 Well that's kind of the added problem here. Rape's a sensitive topic to begin with and using it as shock and awful material to catch viewers is arguably VERY FAIRLY a poor taste choice.
didnt they just like throw in a disposable character to get raped for the shock value?
FormerRei@mobile
>>828458 Correct me if I'm wrong but don't strwmi *streaming services have content descriptions that let you know what type of shit it has Like not quite "ratings"
PANrela
>>828458 I can see that, but the majority of the controversy I'd been exposed to were just people going "you can't be THAT graphic!!!" Which is why I say it's more tame than I was lead to believe. The way those people were acting I was expecting a full on rape scene.
!C0.PerkELE
>>828455 it starts grimdakr and then becomes just dark fantasy people who made it into a controversy saw the first episode or parts of it or never saw it and just heard of it
and that was it
the show and the novels aren't that grimdark as the first chapter is
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
whoops idk why i wrote "just" but yea it's kinda yuck
Anno
>>828462 You have to understand it doens't HAVE to be graphic to be sufficiently graphic to resonate with the people that have emotional trauma or severe displeasure with the material. And for the people that don't have such an aggressive reaction to the material it still comes off in bad taste because it's just thrown at the viewer without any warning and any build-up. The whole opening scene to Goblin Slayer is pretty much just "We're gonna drop you in blind and have fun seeing how terrible things are before you get to see the positive parts" For plenty of people, that's not an issue, myself included. But I think the people that had a strong negative outlash to it were completely reasonable in doing so.
!C0.PerkELE
>>828460 NO this wasn't thrown in it was in the novels from the start
sets the tone it sets the tone of "what happens if our heroes ever fail" the men get killed the women get raped
the priestess you liked raped the high elf archer raped goblin slayer killed dwarf killed lizardman killed
and so on it sets the stakes
sure the initial party that the priestess joins are ALL throw away characters they all get killed in the 1st chapter not just the warrior that is raped but everyone else in the party too
>>828465 People being offended wasn't my problem. People calling it bad because of one scene was. People calling for it to be removed from streaming services was. People saying that people who enjoyed the series are bad people was another problem I had with some of the people offended by it.
>>828471 A mistake, obviously. >>828473 The CGI doesn't bug me after Dragonball Super Because THAT was bad >>828475 Yeah, seemed fine to me, I liked it. Honestly disappointed the anime doesn't get into who/what his master is. Looks like a rat fuck mix of a goblin and kobold >>828476 They put more of it into the him getting up part instead of the him after it drops part >>828465 That's why I'm saying I understand those kinds of view points. I mean it really literally when I saw the controversy I saw was just things like "that's just showing too much" as in, like, "wow, you can't just show all that sex like that" That's why I was saying I expected it to be a full on scene and not what it was. The people I saw complaining weren't, or didn't seem, worried about it from a morality standpoint or how it might affect the mental health of others. It seemed more like they were complaining about something akin to "too much skin"
!C0.PerkELE
Only bad thing about Goblin Slayer anime is its low quality CGI and the laziness the animators do

>>828472 Remember the scene where he rises half dead after killing the giant goblin in the water town
>>828472 Yeah golumn hasn't been revealed that much
I havn't yet read itno the novels beyond 1st one, that tackles the anime pretty much
anime alos switched around the arcs the water town is vol 2 stuff while the goblin general/lord invading the farm is the end of the volume 1
AnnoPANrela
Makes sense why Sword Maiden doesn't show back up after Water Town in the anime, then And also why the Hero's Journey seems so constantly out of wack with current events.
Anno
>>828472 I think the complaint of "That's showing too much" stems from the fact that the material is sufficiently volatile that using it as your shock factor in the first ten minutes IS showing too much. Pacing the depravity and dark parts of a story are important and generally, starting your story off with a scene like that is like shoving a large fistfull of fresh clive Ah whoops. A large fistfull of fresh chives, just straight chives nothing else, into someone's mouth. It completely pollutes the palate for the rest of the meal.
It was entirely unnecessary for establishing how awful goblins are to visually demonstrate that scene to the viewer. Plenty of parallel storytelling mechanisms are available for demonstrating it, and the choice to visually show it happening is a deliberate choice of the production staff.
yeah a bad one got em >>828480 I don't know, I think it's an important thing to give early, though I agree some form of warning could have been addressed, because it prepares you for the next couple times you see it and things like. Like Sword Maiden's flashbacks to when she was 15, Goblin Slayer's flashbacks to him in the floorboards watching his sister, the elf in the shrine ruins, nearly high elf archer, the literally woman chained to wooden planks being used as shields in the farm attack, etc.
PANrela
Rather, I think it's important to give so early because it let's you get out sooner if that's something you want to avoid watching more of, something a warning would have also assisted in
In writing there's well-known term of "Show, don't tell", because to form a strong empathetic or engaged understanding of content, it's generally better to demonstrate through action rather than tell through word. This is why 90% of isekai and fantasy anime are garbage because they dump ten minutes of exposition through a character lecturing or an omnipresent narrator. The thing is though, some times it's better to NOT form that strong empathetic or engaged understanding, especially when there is already a FUNDAMENTAL HUMANITARY UNDERSTANDING of just how awful something is. You could have a character describe to us through a character lecture precisely what goblins do with the women they capture and no viewer with a decent grasp of their emotional faculties would not go "well that's just fucking awful". Pair that, especially in that first episode, with a tease of the traumatized Sword Maiden's flashbacks showing the absolute state of brutality she was in, and viewers will understand clearly that goblins don't fuck around (pardon the, erm, pun).
We can end the disastrous end of the Priestess' first party with the dead guy and the girls being dragged off and everyone knows what's going to happen but it's not being shown, which is the insulting factor here.
!C0.PerkELE
>>828490 >>828491 yeah the warning policy they adopted after ep1 should have been in place already that was sily of them unless they wanted the controversy to get the publicity
!C0.PerkELE
oh yeah tilde
which do you think is easier to start as a newb, not you since you already had xp anyhow, but from your point of view dnd 5.0 or 13th age I think you have xp of both systems, yes?
PANrela
almost certainly 13th age no pre-req issues outside of feats, no weight managment, i dont think flanking exists in 13th age, generally no team aoe hits, etc
!C0.PerkELE
>>828496 yeah it seems very user friendly and no need for the players to study tons of shit
not to mention ofc I already know the books cover to cover
Anno
I totally disagree I feel 13th Age is pretty horrible for people getting into tabletop with no prior experience. 5th Edition makes it very clear you don't need to concern yourself with finnicky things like weight management if your group doesn't want to. And the advantage of Wizards tailoring it for broad enjoyment means that the books are very easy to read and the mechanics are fairly consistent and translatable across classes and races. 13th Age in contrast has very unique mechanics fairly consistently from class to class so if from one campaign to another you want to pick up a new class you pretty much need to entirely learn from the ground up how it works. Also compared to stuff like weight management the 13th Age mechanics of stuff like Icons and letting the players come up with abstract backgrounds they can boost rolls with are as elaborate as anything like weight management, and the backgrounds in particular make for an extra headache for the DM since rather than know the set list of skills the players can roll with they now need to keep track of the backgrounds and how they would interface with a skill challenge the DM comes up with.
In addition as far as the text material goes I really don't appreciate the 13th books. They're not very clear at times with information and often needs a good studying to understand how to allocate resources like talent points or picking feats. Comparatively when I've needed to quickly jump into the 5th Edition PHB I've generally always quickly and clearly found the relevant information I need. In both 5th Edition and 13th Age I've played caster characters and while all my skills are Kirara's homebrew in 13th Age, I found it really quick and easy to grab the spell information from the 5th Edition PHB.
Also as a personal taste element I particularly don't like how 13th Age handles magic systems. They're all weird and have lots of rules that don't share consistencies. 5th Edition has a much, much more elegant , understandable,

!C0.PerkELE
>>828499 damn good points but I will start with my main issue before i will counter argue, no need to answer if you don't want to
"can you make 5.0 easily into say guns and magic. and guns and magic on the level of modern firearms?"
ToN
I would need to look at the 5th edition stuff but 13a spells feels pretty simple you get x spell slots for two different levels generally and then they have the similar usage of most abilities where its either use as much as you like, recharge, or full heal
But it is funny to see both you and pan say the opposite thing just now basically
Anno
>>828505 Yeah, it's not difficult. The D&D stream I watch, before they started streaming, played homegame in Pathfinder which I think has a native gunslinger class? That or it was some homebrew. >>828508 I know hold on the anedote's not done yet. When they started streaming they transferred to 5th Edition and the player that had a gun user basically tweaked the Fighter class with some minor tweaks to incorporate the gun mechanics. Those guns in question were not quite modern, more early stage flintlocks and single shot rifles, but if want modern firearms that can fire numerous shots before needing reloading I don't think that would be hard to homebrew up either. Players/DMs would have to keep track of shots fired and probably need to use a full action or something to reload, you could get as noodly with this as you wanted like having to roll a Dex roll to ensure your character doesn't fumble the reload like a dumbass but all that's not HARD.
I see a lot of complaints about 5th Edition being overly simplified compared to some of the other popular tabletop and while that might go for the basic mechanics there's literally nothing stopping you from making things elaborate as long as the DM and the players are on equal understanding how the mechanics work. Like if I ever do a 5th Edition campaign I'm totally gonna steal 13th Age's Icon system because I think that's a really good model, despite my earlier criticisms, for mechanizing roleplay between factions and the characters that lead them.
you think you have time someday, maybe after tomorrow's game? to give me a quick schooling on how to do th basic stuff like escalation and so on

ToN
>feh orb special pack containing summer tiki (young) wow i feel treatened

He's not a gem, he's a construct. He is mentally formed into such an idiot because every personality exists at once and nothing gets control Also he touchs it with Imagine Eater which isnt really part of his body Since it's a magic arm that formed in the place of the arm he lost
Come to think of it, the actual Death Aspect ascension should have happened the moment Lee oh Man touched the orb and went "imagine eater"
PANrela
Pretty much nothing at that point, she was killed by the immortal killing Timey-Wimey Mortal Blade Jan full on slapped or i guess cleaved her and the orb Poor ero-jin or whatever never stood a chance

her real self was inside the orb bones and all
!C0.PerkELE
>>828552 After we killed the Empress, from that point on the actual soili was the orb and the soili on screen was a projection no matter what would happen to the "soili" that would never affect the actual orb-soili

and since you absorbed flight from the orb or levitation
it was still alive, meaning you actually absorbed the full on orb
ToN
OH RIGHT LEE CAN FLY

But anyhow that was my idea of the coming back to the game I'd just pop up as a spectral Soili around Lee
but then ton made it weird
he brought the original idea of Soili making things with a not-Soili and so on

>>828564 Of course not, he wouldn't be Lee. But for fungus Galactus, she probably can't tell the difference anyway so who knows with her >>828567 Lee's probably too stupid to realize what was/would have been going on anyway. Man tried to eat the same electricity trap 3 times convinced it was magic. >>828571 Then he'd just be a husk! It'd be like in Nier when their memories reset to an old backup. They're not the same 9S or 2B! >>828569 He was supposed to sacrifice some of/most of them in a ritual cast with Charlotte to help Chaska's people's ressurection, but then ToN didn't do it
!C0.PerkELE
and later on just went "oh you have a fuckton of souls inside you, don't mind if I do nom * nom *nom*"
!C0.PerkELE
>>828568 it would have been visible to everyone else too
I think the most funniest part was, when we were in the final dungeon of ToN and there were traps preying on each of us character's weakness' and then came the trap for my character, but my character was DEAD and I was playing a husk and so, there was a wall of fire to pass through
Anno
If he didn't have a consciousness of his own then if you can make alive an identical recreation of his original body, then haven't you succeeded in bringing back all he was?
ToN
I’m sure the eldritch power of Ammutseba could manifest some sorr if sort of Lee projection
!C0.PerkELE
>>828572 What if the absolute power of death also kills him?
Anno
>>828568 But with no consciousness originally, what made the original Lee more than a husk in the first place? If he has memories and can remember, that's indicative of conscious thought, so lacking a consciousness means there weren't any memories. And if there are memories then there is a consciousness and by extension an objective thing to bring back.
ToN
Might still work if it’s just a projection
!C0.PerkELE
>>828568 FUNNIEST THING IS if chaska would have just wanted his people to live
from lvl 1 soili could have done that they would have lived on as undead beings
fully themselves, just as ghosts/skeletons/zombies/vampires
ToN
wow you could have saved Charlotte all of that mp
!C0.PerkELE
Imagine everything soili could have done if she had discovered the endless source of souls that is Lee
PANrela
>>828574 Any formation of memories come from the amass of souls within him, but when he died they'd have been released. I guess in theory you could collectively regrab all the lost souls into a new body, but fungus Galactus isn't that smart, probably.

I think my skeletons were some of the funniest shit in that campaign
!C0.PerkELE
but really
why didn't you kill them and let me make new ones willy nilly
it was supposed to be a "kill easy, make easy" to allow the "I am beind 9000 skeletons" if played well or I am behind 0 skeletons if played shit
Anno
you know what was shit but i still thoroughly enjoyed Kokoro Connect
wait what were you asking then? to me it looked like "do you know why you enjoyed it" and then i said why i enjoyed it >>828597 well i would assume it's mostly because it's a kusoani but i remember the person who was attached to a character
!C0.PerkELE
yes there is a good reason why kokoro connect isn't liked here
Anno
I think most people that watched Kokoro Connect here are capable of separating the show from Inabun. If that's really what's tainting it so bad for you then man, learn to separate media from its fanbase.
Anno
yeah i mean if someone was attached to a character from a GOOD anime FORMERREI IM TALKING TO YOU and they were a massive shitlord HAHA GET WREKT it's not like people would think Eva was shit for that reason
ToN
>>828591 i probably should have but then your skeletons became increasingly more difficult to kill so i would have to have noticeably focused aggro on them
as much of a moefag that i am a lot of the time two of my favorite anime ever are Daily Lives of High School Boys and Ping Pong which are like all male cast Daily Lives IS moe but it's not like girl moe
Anno
>>828602 Oh yeah if you want a show that's kind of a girl's side to Daily Lives of High School Boys check out Joshikousei no Mudazukai or Asobi Asobase. They're not really moe shows either but they're kind of the same absurbist normalcy.
!C0.PerkELE
fucking daily lives of high school boys is PURE ART
tfw the boss that is best regarded among players of 2.0 is the one i intended to actually murder you
Anno!C0.PerkELE
>>828608 who was that? and I bet I was banned when that happened
also check 'cord
Anno
you know what else was a dumpsterfire that I had a very good time watching? Guily Crown watching that show with /a/ was probably one of the most magical anime experiences i've ever had
Anno
>>>/watch?v=00zguIZOXlA I knew I recognized the vocalist for the Hamefura OP But it's been so long since angela did an anisong that I'd forgotten about her.
!C0.PerkELE
hmm I wonder if anyone has kept a track of my "+1 to killing sue" >>828614 how are your notes have they ever kept a note of my "to kill sue"
PANrela
I really like Guilty Crown until the ending fuck the endinfg
ToN
>>828610 ylu were there for the empress going full anime on you werent you
PANrela
>>828613 I do need to right them, but I made sure to save the notes just in case this time. Since I try to write the notes/recaps from Noto's perspective it's not in there because he doesn't care It's why there's little hints of things that he does/has happen that you guys don't wind up getting the info on all the time, ie his talks with Fugo, talks with Orochi, talks with his sword, him cutting Michiru, etc
!C0.PerkELE
>>828615 and it idn't work well you did kill me... twice
ToN
poor Odia develops my vague anime power and still cant defeat your motley crew and then titania fucking ate her head and gained anime power
and still despite mat's fungi my skelton bitch pan's Monk OP
it was JAN and his STAND that were the MVP almost always
PANrela
The game changed quick when the fight sucked Pop command seals just to inconvenience progression
Anno
Oh yeah Pan if you want another isekai series you could check out Maou-sama, Retry It's a bit of a weird one but you'd probably like the MC.
Mahou Shoujo Marsh-chan
>Class Compiled. No Syntax Errors Found God that gets me ROCK HARD.
Anno
That's kind of weird dude
!C0.PerkELE!C0.PerkELE
MIGHT IS SAY
IT FUCKING WORKS
PANrela
Ah, damn, I should go all the way back to my original 3.0 character idea, I forgot how much of a meme it was He had Lancelot's Knight of Owner concept of being able to turn anything he grabbed into a weapon and was going to use the SPACESHIP at some point >>828623 I might look into it. I've been considering finally watching Firefighter anime since Kirara told me to and then I didn't
>>828628 Yeah, Enen no Shouboutai was the other one I was looking at figuring you'd like. But also figured you'd have seen it or at least knew about it.
no matter what i put behind me zoom's virtual background basically replaces all of my colors with this image while leaving my outline producind // producing a very surreal image
Kirara 🍄 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
i was told the red room was "not a very professional background"
FormerRei@mobile
>>828653 Wait, you gys are using zoom for tthe therapy stuff? *guys
Kirara 🍄 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
no, for class we use something else for telehealth most places use zoom though
FormerRei@mobile
Yeah they shouldn't, its not hipaa compliant
Kirara 🍄 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
zoom is hipaa compliant
FormerRei@mobile
>>828657 Well I heard otherwise from a healthcare professional tgis morning. I wouldn't be surprised if they were wrong though.
Kirara 🍄 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
i've spoken to zoom reps and lots of other clinicians there are different levels - you have to pay more money to get hipaa complaint zoom and there's a lot more set up
>>828666 Hail Satan also as much as I like Bernie and want socialized healthcare this is actually good for my grandfather's business I mean they sell other types of insurance too, but still
ToN
as long as someone is profiting
FormerRei !GURPSRWiTs
also >that feel when you find out that one of the species of animal you are writing about actually got reclassified into at least three distinct species and now you have to go through all the papers again and make sure they are talking about the right colored animal on the specific corner of the one tiny island they are native to in Indonesia and your paper is due tomorrow
ToN
sure am glad i graduated

>>828668 it's just hilarious to me that people are voting biden during an epidemic
>>828686 the real story is how the hospital got that ventilator
Koi
the entire movie is about finding a shipment of ventilators
Koi
>you mean to tell me there's only one >only one >in this whole shipment >yup >on this whole boat >mhm >what are all these other boxes then and he just laughs and laughs as he walks back into the boat
JaPAN
drugs obviously
Koi
yes, it's drugs
Koi
Occam's drug shipment that saves the day at the end by burying the ventilator thieves in tons of cocaine Which they will then be falsely charged for smuggling too
Kirara 🍄 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
it's fishbowl cleaner
JaPAN
>>828697 even the transcontinental drug trafficking rings hate ventilator bandits!
Koi
>>828699 can't sell drugs to people who are dying because they can't breathe. gotta make sure society survives
JaPAN
>>828700 The global pandemic is making it really annoying, all the borders are closed! How am I supposed to smuggle drugs like this!? COVID, we gotta put a stop to this thing.
Koi
>>828700 (Insulin providers capping their prices at $35. wow who would have guessed)
>>828701 In the end, the drug dealers start up their own health insurance company providing hydrochloroquine to people with diseases it's meant to treat and subsidizing it by charging everyone else who wants it 10x more
Koi
okay back to the important things in life
Kirara 🍄 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
work finally done for the day now to prepare for tabletop
also tomorrow is the anniversary of saku's death, for those who aren't aware
Maria
this boomer just told me the lockdown is insane and that she's not afraid of the virus
>>828707 Tell her that Boris Johnson wasn't afraid of it either.
Koi
oh right, I was going to hang up posters today
ToN
>>828707 guess she’ll die >>828706 man it really is that time of year again huh
Kirara 🍄 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
It sure is. The Yahrzeit is in a few days. I'll have no problems lighting my candle this year since I'm working from home.
Passover starts tonight, too. I wonder if Hashem will be mad at me for doing a tabletop game instead of seder! Although a rabbi told me that it's a mitzvah not to do everything right now, we're getting a break, so that works for me
ToN
I dont remember the dates but i can still remember what i was doing and where i was guess thats just how my memory works
Anno
Dates are made up but memories are real. It's okay.
Kirara 🍄 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
At least you're not Jewish. I have to go find our calendar to make sure I get the right day.
April 9th is easy to remember. It was a Thursday the year he died, too. I drove to school sobbing, worked with some people on research while pretending I was fine, drove home sobbing, bought some liquor while pretending I was fine, etc
Kirara 🍄 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
Well, I did that the week after he died, since we didn't find out for sure until the 16th
Options are something similar in color theme or something more colorful. . actually there are two specific ones im thinking of. let me wash my hands of this bleach first.
Koishi and Satori cosplaying as Lambdadelta and Bernkastel
Choux
tthis one right by the computer i should put one behind me. I want to put up a shuten douji but this is a christian household
Choux
i cant take the picture well because of how its lit but I have Journey and A2 in ope n environment centric posters right across the computer
Choux
should probably space them further apart considering the space that wall has.
Choux
two magnets left on the first pack.
Choux
this was the colorful ome by the way
Anno
What's going on with the edge between those walls.
Kirara 🍄 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
looks like a cord taped to the wall
PANrela
a wire yeah
Choux
yeah there was internet there was.
Maria
>>828749 does your nephew ever comment on the anime
Koi
all these posters were in bins that were hiddenout of the way so no or stacked in the corner on the table by >>828749 covered under an Abby playmat
Anno
Won't he be commenting on them now that they're all hung up on the walls
FormerRei !GURPSRWiTs
I have this coming in the mail. >bad image REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE fucking image magick is broken all the goddamn time I have images that work fine and they just don't work on /moe/, tano or ios devices
i just put booette underneath the Diamond poster and it looks nice but im thinking that I can put it right behind where I sit and make it even more perfect
>>828762 Oh I thought you meant underneath like behind it anyways here's the poster I just ordered https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0246/4453/products/necro-poster-smaller_2048x2048.jpg I've turned my friend's dining room into my office and I'm planning on hanging it on the wall behind me so people can see it during video conferences I might need to move the table over a little bit so its visible though
fucking shit even if I get a perfect score on the final exam I need to get B's on the paper and the powerpoint in order to get a C I fucking hate classes that only have a few assignments
FormerRei !GURPSRWiTs
oh its no longer the state rock song https://pitchfork.com/news/50300-the-flaming-lips-do-you-realize-no-longer-the-official-state-rock-song-of-oklahoma/
i will just have to try loud music that isn't disruptive
Kirara 🍄 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
i will probably be ok though im only doing one session tomorrow since it's the anniversary of saku's death i cut back dont have work until 2:15
Anno
>>828813 Well if you've got free time tomorrow or some time soon check this out https://mangadex.org/title/24104/sono-bisque-doll-wa-koi-wo-suru It's a super cute manga about a gal who's really into cosplay and a guy who makes cosplay outfits for her.
>>828798 at the end of one of the routes in Saya no Uta Fuminori successfully kills his friends and impregnates Saya or some shit and she blooms and covers the whole world in some kind of alien parasitic lifeform that consumes and converts everything on earth into a fleshy conglomerate of alien organs
JaPAN
in the end card for that you can see several telephone poles that have become parts of this alien infested earth
FormerRei@mobile
Kek I'm actually a bit surprised wwe have people who aren't familiar with Saya no Uta though.

maybe it was badly written maybe I'm just retarded but I don't feel like i fully understood the plot of the Azur Lane anime
Mahou Shoujo Marsh-chan
Foxgirl and co. were working with the Sirens because that was "the only way to get enough power to save the Sakura empire" but the whole reason the empire needed power and the thing they needed protection from was the Sirens so why would you work with the enemy to get power to protect you from the enemy?
Mahou Shoujo Marsh-chan
maybe it would make more sense if you understood the BROADER CINEMATIC UNIVERSE
>>828920 No. The members of the Sakura Empire speak in Japanese and the Germans speak in Japanese and the Americans speak in Japanese and the English speak in Japanese.
