I dunno if something's broken in my brain or something but I'm really not feeling isolated. I've barely even been talking using the new avenues people are exploring like online conferencing or stuff like that too. Plus my parents have pretty much shored up north at their new place and barely come down to the city anymore. I haven't even seen or talked to my dad in like two weeks now.
I mean I do recognize I'm stagnating a good bit and I should find some reason to get out of the house. But other than that I'm pretty fine.

rika i successfully defended my dissertation today ok have fun with anime
月
oh congratulations that's great news
Yuu
hopefully only a few more weeks of quarantine
>>831257 Oh, congrats! How much more left for you?
>>831259 I mentioned this previously but you probably shouldn't bank on quarantine and self-isolation stuff going away for a while yet. North American forecasts for the worst of this still predict several months where severe infection potential is a high risk.
>>831261 I know your halfwit of a president is talking about that but every person who's actually looking at the health concerns generally agrees doing so would be disastrous. The States are the ones to decide that, not the federal level anyway.
Yuu
They're talking about re-opening soon hopefully they are right
Gleipnir!
okay lets start!
月
i think im just going to do gleipnir
Yuu
>>831260 Well I'm really hoping that it's over in the next few weeks I'm getting tired of quarantine!
Anno
I know, I'm telling you the odds of those hopes being realized are insanely slim. And if you're really getting tired of quarantine, you should be finding other means of breaking that exhaustion than hopes that are an improbable outcome. You don't strike me as someone to bank on winning the lottery!
Anno
Oh yeah this was one of the weirder ones this season.
月
well we can hope it's going to be over focusing on the negatives too much gets tiresome
Anno
I don't see it as focusing on the negatives thoughhhh But if an outcome is considerably more probable than the other I feel it's better to make preparations around that outcome than otherwise. If you're hoping things will return to normal to give you external structure back to your life, in particular I think that's a dangerous thing to hope. Because every indicator is implying things won't return to normal for a while.
Anno
I really wish vending machines were more omnipresent like they are in Japan over here. Though I guess by extension also the affordability. You can get something out of a vending machine for like 150yen. Here it's lucky to find a vending machine dispensing for less than $2.50.
月
your work day goes slower if you're watching the clock constantly
there's nothing i can do to control how long this stuff lasts, so i have other ways to focus my energy than analyzing that stuff
focusing on a sense of normalcy can help motivation levels a lot
it's not about the logistics of gettng through it, just self-maintenance
月
this is pretty messed up
Yuu
yeah this is weird I honestly didnt know anything aobut it coming in
Anno
I knew he transforms into a giant mascot animal. Eventually there'll be some fighting too. As far as the actual personalities of people, I'm not to clear on.
Anno
I crave death.
Anno
Wow this girl. I mean I guess it's probably a bit of a fair retribution.
Yuu
She has a really wide mouth
月
you know what they say about girls with wide moufs
Anno
Hmmmm She seems to enjoy the power she's got over him.
月
this girl is too shameless
Anno
It seems like having a mascot transformation messes with the MC though. Like he's a teenage boy so yeah of course he's a horndog. But it seems like it's worsened by bestial intincts or something.
月
everyone's got a primal monster hiding inside them!
Anno
Not everyone so literally though!
Yuu
plunderer 12
it's okay have a nice day tomorrow moon!
okay lets start!
月
that's all for me! sorry to bail early
hope you guys enjoy the riest of the night! thanks yuu you too stay safe!
Anno
Take it easy Moon Or at least as easy as you can.
Plunderer really wasn't the kind of show I expected to get more than a single-cour adaptation. I mean it's kind of nice for those of us who actually watch it since they really didn't resolve or do anything of note in the first cour. But it's still weird.
Yuu
Yeah, plunderer is kind of an odd show it really changed a lot with the change in cour
Anno
That blonde soldier guy is the only person here with a lick of common sense. The rest of them happily just walked onto the school premises looking completely out of place like they do.
Anno
Oh and now they're gathering more attention on themselves by fighting.
Though it was this weird guy with the goat eyes that picked the fight.
Yuu
time to learn more about soldier stuff
Anno
Oh this dweeb was in present time too. Guess he's one of the special people that got to live like three hundred years.
Anno
Well okay. That seems a bit extreme.
Yuu
oh well that escalated quickly
Anno
>Don't let your guard down, or you'll die >Proceeds to immediately let their guard down
Anno
It's kinda funny to see Jail get his face kicked in. He always comes off as a profficient fighter but he's just getting played with.
Yuu
It's going to get serious now this has been a weird ep
Anno
Well that was. I dunno, a bit disappointing? I guess it's better to know they're not total monsters, but after the menacing circumstances it was kind of a let down.
Anno
How long are the gang gonna be sent back to the past anyway. If Licht is only just starting to train as a soldier they could be stuck for a while until the story arc is resolved.
Anno
>Private information >Has its own Wikipedia page >Even the Wikipedia page is censored
Yuu
kashigoto! okay lets start
Anno
Ka Kushigoto
Anno
Yeah I thought there were a lot of similarities between the house she's visiting and the one her and her dad lived in. But they were clearly a different house from the door and street past the front yard. Why would you get built a house totally identical to the one you live in.
Yuu
It's neat seeing his old characters in his new characters.
Anno
They live in a pretty nice house. It might only be one floor but it's spacious. I guess that other girl must be stupid rich though.
Anno
Yeah a successful mangaka can make a pretty decent amount of money. I mean if you think about it, he owns this house, probably the other one she'll viist -visit in the future, plus renting out this ... studio? apartment? office?
Anno
>Example provided by Akumatsu Ken Hah hah I remember that. The volumes for Negima! had some author's comments where he talked about using CGI for the academy background. It was pretty much exactly the model they showed there.
Yuu
Thus past is very SZS-poi
Anno
Drawing with drawing tablets is great though. Does mean you have to relearn how to draw, kinda. But it's easier for me than a tablet without a screen.
Anno
There probably are a lot of people from countries like Indonesia that have moved to Japan to to do housekeep work there. Kinda like how North America gets a lot of people from the Philipines doing similar roles.
Anno
I think most salarymen probably would be candidates for being unable to run 100m in fifteen seconds. It's not really a hard challenge but salarymen in Japan rarely have much time for anything other than work or sleeping. Once they enter the workforce I don't think they get much chance to keep fit.
Yuu
Oh it's the SZS point
Anno
The SZS point?
Anno
Otou-san's kind of a clueless womanizer. He seems good at flattering random women.
Yuu
He should go for the flower shop girl
Anno
That's less of an office suit and more of a performer's suit.
That makes Misaka the second Level Five to at least breach the impassable barrier between Level Five and the supposed Level Six.
Yuu
okay houkago okay lets start!
Anno
Get in the van, losers We're going fishing
Anno
What a supportive mother.
Anno
A bike route like that three or four times a week will probably get her nice and fit though. Biking's pretty decent for developing stamina.
Yuu
It's nice that Japan is so safe that you can bike around a lot.
Anno
I think if you're moving at a good clip and aren't spooked being so close to cars, it's pretty safe for anyone to bike here too. I could probably get anywhere I want to in the city on bike.
Plus there's some trails through the valleys and parks you can take to cover like half the city without riding car-driven roads. If you're a fast biker it's not like anyone could catch you too.
Anno
I like the mechanical design of fishing reels. Especially the ones that have some of the working bits exposed.
Anno
Oh yeah getting a nice casting form is a pretty satisfying feeling.
Anno
That was an impressive failure.
Yuu
>>831369 They're pretty neat. They can be hard to fix though.
Anno
Haven't really ever had a chance to try and fix one but I like taking apart and putting back together other things that have a bunch of small assembly parts. Would probably be a fun thing to try my hand at. Not the line though I'd probably be more interested in just trimming knotted bits or just getting new line.
Anno
The glasses girl seems exceptionally well-prepared.
Anno
A sea bass? More like a C+!
Anno
That went by quite smoothly.
Yuu
That's a good comfy show. fishing is always comfy
thanks for anime
Anno
Mhm, thanks. I know it's probably not likely but if you're not busy over the weekend, there's plenty of anime to watch.
At the least you should show your face around. People here probably miss getting to see you regularly.
