In good news I got As o the essay and power point for my class.
Someone showed me their powerpoint presentation about Tetris yesterday. And it made me realize a lot of things about tetris. Like how every seven pieces comes every seven pieces That changes everything. And everything makes sense
>>835553 Yeah that's a really cool detail I hadn't noticed. I've been playing a lot of Tetris 99 recently, it's pretty addictive. High-level Tetris almost mind-bogglingly insane. I can barely comprehend how quickly they can assess and place the pieces.
Koi
They call it a "bag" Essentially, the first seven is a combination of all seven pieces. And the next seven (and every seven) is another combination of the same pieces. So the farthest you'll see the same piece is 13 pieces away >>835556 But that's the thing, if you know that every seven is a set, it's not so much that you have to "assess everything", but you can think of your next moves in bag sets. He told me about "openers" where you can make really good clears based on the first 10 pieces you have. Because you know your first seven, you can look at what you're getting in the first five and say "okay, I can build this setup. I have an early O tile so I can go with this rather than the other thing." and you just build that
If you don't know about bags, everything feels random and you don't really know how they're anticipating the pieces that come. But they know because they know it's going to end up coming in a certain bag
FormerRei@mobile
I'm not going to tell the whole story because its not appropriate for /moe/, but I've heard that meth amphetamine makes you really good at tetris.
Anno
>>835557 The start of the game is pretty whatever, even not knowing about the bags I can pretty consistently set up a four-line clear. But later in the game when the pieces are coming at like a mile a minute, sure, knowing about bags reduces the amount you need to assess but it's still something you need to assess in a really short timespan. And that doesn't factor in for competitive Tetris like 99 where you're getting garbage coming in much more unpredictably.
Koi
the setups for openers are actually specifically optimized for competitive tetris like, he demonstrated it in Puyo Puyo Tetris how to send 11 lines with your first 10 pieces it's pretty amazing.
Koi
it was like, a double into a T-Spin Double and then into a perfect clear and it just WERKS
Anno
T-Spins are a bit beyond me I can't yet fathom fitting shapes that dynamically
Koi
OH HE SHOWED ME
Koi
THIS DOUBLE T-SPIN SHIT NONSENSE. LIKE YEAH, YOU LET IT SIT HERE, T-SPIN THROUGH THIS GAP, AND THEN T-SPIN AGAIN HERE, AND BOOM, T-SPIN TRIPLE
Koi
like I get it but I'm also really upset ALSO, I SPINS
Anno
The name alone sounds like some kind of advanced technical strategy and not something you'd expect to hear coming from Tetris. And then you look into it and you go "Oh wait there are people that are OBSESSED with this game"

If I keep the house's heat on my room gets ridiculously warm but if I keep the heat off my room gets almost uncomfortably for me cold. It's not even a matter of fiddling with the temperature setting my room just keeps heat but also doesn't retain it if there's not a constant input.

>>835592 Vikings will be fun I bet. Though I'm still a bit miffed they didn't do a Persian setting. Because they could totally round out the geographical region they've been doing with Egypt and Greece by going to Persia. And since they were moving back in time they'd right in the middle of the high point of Persian influence in the region. It just makes SENSE. Augh
Dr. Kirara 🍄 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
>>835594 Yeah, but they already did Persia in the Greece game. There was a DLC that went into all of it and already showed the first assassin and his hidden blade and all of that. So Persia was pretty much crossed off the list unfortunately. I don't really get vikings either, haha. But maybe there will be some fun mountain climbing and stuff.

>t is Norway and the Dark Ages of England – specifically the ninth century. In terms of England, it is quite a large map. We focus on four major kingdoms of England during this time period: Wessex, Northumbria, East Anglia, and Mercia. So for history buffs, they can look for that. It’s a large part of England, and within that you have three major cities: London, Winchester, and Jórvík (now called York in modern days, but Jórvík back then). And then we have a ton of towns, and of course, we have Norway as well.

In terms RPG and player progression, we wanted a fresh take on it. We wanted something that’s more anchored in the world. So, the way gear works is completely revamped. Every piece of gear you find is unique. You can upgrade each piece of gear. If you wish to carry the same piece of gear to the end of the game, you can. Or if you want to collect everything, that’s up to you. Everything has its own unique value. At a certain point, you can start customizing gear. So it’s a new take on that RPG format in terms of gear.
In terms of abilities and skills, there’s also been a revamping. Players have this (quite large) skill graph that they sort of traverse through the journey of Eivor, picking up new skills, picking up a lot of playstyle elements to fine-tune to kind of Viking you are – whether it’s a more incognito Viking or more “get out there and throw your axes around.” Everything from abilities to skills to weaponry, we have a fresh new take on progression that we feel is anchored in the world and the Viking fantasy we’re trying to achieve.

would a DS stylus work i wonder?
Anno
I'm like 95% certain it wouldn't. The DS/3DS touchscreen is a different kind of material to the Switch, which is more alike to phones and tablets. Something about the glass means you can't get reception from the hard DS stylus. The pocket stylus I've got has a soft half-sphere at the point so you can push decently hard with it and not risk etching into your screen.
I know it works for the Switch since I've used it with SMM2. Just need to figure where it fell or whatever.
Apparently a bunch of the forgeries have, in addition to their actual incorrect details indicating they're a fake, spooky stuff like this going on. That's new to New Horizons I think. In previous games the fakes were just fakes and unless you wanted to tank your HHA score for a bit of silliness putting it up in your home, forgeries were pretty much absolute trash. They'll still probably tank your HHA score but at least there's upsides to that now.

that's mean just because it's fake doesnt mean it isn't pretty in my house!

OH MAN, THE ROX X BRAHAM SHIPPERS ARE GOING TO THRIVE
the most difficult client i have is this 16 year old gay kid with ADHD who is smart enough to intellectualize any attempt at giving him coping skills i've seen him for like four months and i only got him to agree to implement something once and then he couldn't do it because of the damn pandemic
Anno
Smart enough to intellectualize coping skills, but unable to comprehend the big picture advantage to employing them. I can't really earnestly call him out on that though since I tend to fall into the same boat.
Dr. Kirara 🍄 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
Well, the big problem with being really smart is that it makes it hard for you to understand how you're stupid. For him, he can't even recognize that he's intellectualizing. He honestly believes the coping skills wouldn't work for him for whatever reason.
He does remind me of you, though.
Like 50% of his assignments have been turned in late so far because he gets overwhelmed by lots of small stressors and puts off the assignments - even small ones - because they're stressful. He's just got this wall up that stops him from really coping with that stress. There's always a "Yes, but..."
He really is smart, though. This 16 year old kid is using words like "dissonance" correctly.

"cognitive dissonance" is a term that's been working its way more and more into the common vernacular for a while now i guess it's just becoming more relevant so a lot of people find the need to identify the term

I'm gonna have to figure out something soon to full-on Dogeza through email to get in contact with my professors, maybe program administrator. Because I didn't do way too much of my assignments this semester. I was already kind of starting to slip when things went sideways but I was gonna get in contact with professors and talk through the struggles and maybe find some leniency. Then everything shut down and without the physical anchor of the university classes I just went completely adrift. Haven't really done any work in a month. Probably more, really. But even the thought of having to get in communication -- already a challenging activity for me -- combined with the sheer dread of the topic, is making it hard. Even now just thinking of the prospect is making my head go into flight mode.

i got dropped!! >>835939 my anxiety makes it hard for me to think about things that i need to functionally think about. that's where the barrier of paralysis starts, in the stage where i have to plan it and think about it, nevermind getting to actually doing it for me i mean
if i can meditate or bring my anxiety down in a functional range to where i can think about it without panicking, then i find i can build a bit more momentum to actually doing it i used to need benzos for that due to the direct stressors, but ive been able to get by with just valerian root now that's how i started using valerian root, and why im so obsessed with it. it was the only way i could function ever since high school
im not trying to tell you to use valerian root, but that i commiserate with that feeling and maybe to help you try and isolate those dynamics out so you can break it apart into easier-to-digest amounts if you can bring your anxiety level down to the point of thinking about it without panic, if that means you need to talk it out with another person in detail, im happy to listen and help you do that
i need to do that sometimes, just have another person to think with me so i can stay anchored/grounded
I have a pathologically low level of anxiety which is pretty problematic, too. But my problem is probably easier since it doesn't impact my functioning, only my ability to solve problems and set priorities.
But when I did have anxiety, because my barrier is so strong, I would always get it so high that I couldn't handle it. I used kratom to help with that for a while until I was able to get a handle on it.
But I still avoid things that are stressful sometimes. Like checking my school email.

Which probably makes me feel extra nervous about waiting like two or three weeks to respond, or at least do more contact with them. It's gotten to the point that I'm physically averting my eyes if the email previews on my phone are onscreen for whatever reason. More than stressful it feels like it's become an absolute terror.
Anno
Who the fuck's ever been scared of an email inbox.
I hope no one gets killed because of this stupidity. Deaths from the incompetence of handling the pandemic are still awful, of course, but inciting a coup and getting people killed in that is a whole other ... something.

>>835946 >Having people respond to it does help me feel like I'm not just shouting to the void though. i wish this were easier in general. we're all so alienated now i have to go through so much of these kinds of thoughts just through internal dialogue with myself because it's so alienated ive spent so much time building my own fundamentals that are so isolated that nobody can commiserate with me, or really understand what i mean most of the time kinda like niche communities on 4chan that we grew up with, where you have to collect the whole globe just to find the few other people in the world with the same interest as you it's even harder to find similar feelngs, since feelings are more hidden and complex to communicate than hobbies/interests
i used to be very spastic and impatient, but in the last 4 or 5 years ive built up so much patience out of trying to have that discussion entirely internally, slowly, over very long periods but it's limiting that way, and potentially dangerous if i get ungrounded
i have to work so hard to stay grounded all the time it's really a lot of work to do
Anno
On the bright side of things these quarantimes -- and probably Animal Crossing -- has done more for me stabilizing my sleep schedule than anything has in like four or five years. I've been pretty consistently waking up around 09:00 pretty much all week. It does have a bit of a kink I need to iron out, I've been napping a lot around nine to midnight and if that normalizes it's gonna make my Sunday nights a bit rough hah hah
>>835952 I'm inherently awful at reaching out to people; even though I have little issue just writing about it on /moe/. So when it's a situation which needs me to rely on people specifically, I don't understand how to function. In this situation specifically the people I could reach out for support to are so caught up in the lies I've told to avoid having additional pressure thrown on me that I can't do that without contradicting what they think has been going on So I'm kinda left to stew it myself, and I lack the mental tools to deal with that myself. I wish I could just talk to people. Or process a moment of stress or anxiety without drowning.

All his businesses are luxury, non-essential industries after all. Like there's no argument to say Tesla needs to continue manufacturing cars, or that SpaceX needs to be launching rockets. So with all the States not opening their economies, none of his businesses are working, and are probably putting a dent in his economic status by now. I can see why he'd be starting to get a bit bonkers. Guy should still calm his bosom though.

>>835953 >Or process a moment of stress or anxiety without drowning. that's where medication might be necessary if you told a psychiatrist this barrier you're having, i think they'd suggest it i get the feeling you don't tell your doctors everything though, and kind of include them in that group of people around you maybe im wrong about that though, but you should try to be honest with the doctor so they can help you
Anno
>>835970 That's the thing though. When I was first doing intake with a counselor and later meeting with the doctor from my university's medical centre, I feel like I was pretty thorough in explaining the way I get swept under all the stress and anxiety. But both times they focused in more on the depression aspects I brought up too. I think in each time I've met with the doctor I've been honest with the problems I'm having at the time, or had recently. If I haven't been sufficiently, I don't really know what else there is for me to do.

>twitter drama was super stupid today just today huh
月
>>835971 well, maybe this felt more like a distant barrier at the time and there was a more immediate focus but it sounds like this is a major issue blocking your development and putting you in mental paralysis when you go see them, in your escapism, you might be eager not to think about it and you feel content not making mention of it
i always write a note while my anxiety peaks of specifically what i want to tell the doctor next visit so that it doesn't get swept aside in my nervousness and elusive, tricky subconscious avoidance
struggles with the situation you've put yourself in, inability // sorry that wording isn't fair struggels struggles you're having with family communication, avoidance, and the anxieties you face, and the inability to think about them without that drowning feeling all are significant, but aren't extremely uncommon. i think a lot of people start to get situations like that. if they know it's a major blockade for you and that the situation has gotten this severe to where you can't function, they might be able to help you.
i know you wanna just see it as your own fault/laziness/whatever but there's a whole field of medicine dealing just with these kinds of problems that people have i waited way too long to try to get the help i needed just because i didn't know how or what to say i didn't even know it was something that could be helped
Anno
>>835976 Maybe I should leave myself a reminder. One of the shortcomings of medical health through the university means when the university goes into summer hibernation, so does services like these. Not to mention limited services already because of Covid-19. It might be months before I can see the doctor again.

i really need to try and get to a doctor too i was doing so good a year+ ago i feel like i was dropped off the earth or something, just everything stopped when my care/meds stopped
the only thing keeping me here is the hope that i can eventually get back to treatment this has been one of those "just endure it, it's temporary, just don't think about it and it will be over eventually" periods, and it's been a whole year now i can't cope with the notion that i might never get treatment resumed again, so im in denial everything was just a bad dream and i'll be able to get back to a doctor who can restart treatment soon -- i shouldn't have even been this explicit, it gets me thinking about it sorry
boy there's still a lot to do in a short time i hope something works out

I was thinking earlier I don't know if there will ever be another anime series I looked forward to a much as I looked forward to Carnival Phantasm.
And that's kind of depressing. I can't even think of possible adaptations that I would look forward to as much.
There would be some if Miyu Matsuki hadn't died. But because of that, we'll probably never get a Tsukihime anime or a Melty Blood anime, or a Kagetsu Tohya anime.

I remember really looking forward to Index And Index s2 and Railgun And Darker Than Black (I wish it would get a second season) And Panty and Stocking With Garterbelt, Code Geass and Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei

>>836040 >Geass So did you watch the Resurrection of Lelouche yet The reception for that movie is so weird to me Sunrise announces a Geass followup, everyone loses their shit, then no one else saw it
>>836049 If it turns out that they'll bundle all the episodes together as they come out then I'll get it
FormerRei@mobile
Well I can think of a few things but they'll never happen Like I'd definitely be super excited for a 52 episode BLAME! adaptation.
FormerRei@mobile
>>836044 Nah I lost my enthusiasm for Code Geass years ago.
FormerRei@mobile
A lot of my passion for my hobbies died off after my major depressive episode in 2016
Anno
>>836036 Maybe I'll see how they handle the bundling or lackthereof when Episode 2 comes out and make my decision on that.
>>836044 I could potentially see them also do additional chapters as DLC. Like, you have to pay more for the base game since it comes with the sprites and engine and so it's cheaper for them to release new Chapters with fewer new characters and music tracks.
I dunno like I said I'll see what they're doing when Episode 2 comes out.

Oh I guess I'd be really excited for Panty and Stocking s2 And uh New Tenchi Muyo spin offs The original OVA series still gets a new episode every once in a while

I'd go back and look if I could get the stupid sale page to load on Steam. A decent bunch of my wishlist is showing up on it I bet. But the sale page won't load hah hah
I've kinda wanted to get the Resident Evil 2 remake though. I've already watched some people play through it so I wouldn't exactly be getting it for the story. But the actual game looks pretty fun and kinda rewards you for getting better and better at it. Still I don't think it's quite in my buy window at 50% off at the moment.

I'm still waiting on the government to get the student benefit part of the Covid-19 relief in place.

I'll probably be housesitting my brother's apartment for a while come June or so. With everything in the city shut down him and his girlfriend have pretty much moved up north to my family's cottage, since they're much more comfortable cooping up there for long-term than I am. And my parents want to put this house up on the market by the end of May so they want all of us out of it. I was given the choice of joining them all up north or doing the housesitting here. Wasn't really a hard decision to make for me.
I dunno how comfortable I'd be experimenting with cooking in someone else's kitchen with someone else's things, and I'd have to be budgeting food probably anyway, but maybe I'll make a few choices when shopping that lets me try some new things.

Other countries have news organizations with better common sense. The news elsewhere are smart enough to know NOT to bring attention to this idiocy.
I know we had a smaller protest like this a week or two ago. It barely got a blip on the news though, like only really enough to know it was a thing that happened.
Dr. Kirara 🍄 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
Americans can't fathom sacrificing something for the good of everyone. The idea that I should go without a haircut just to prevent people from dying is ridiculous. In fact that's the government's response - that people must be sacrificed.
Most other countries have had real times in their histories where they had to make sacrifices, especially during WWII and stuff. That's in their collective history. Americans have never been touched by war. The worst we've had was some moderate rationing in WWII, we've never had to sacrifice. Culturally, Americans refuse to give up anything for the good of other individuals.
There was the civil war, but that is too far away in the past
Anno
Civil War wasn't really total war in the way the World Wars were though. A lot of soldiers died in it but as far as civilians went they still lived pretty capably.
Dr. Kirara 🍄 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
Yeah, we didn't really have any civilian casualties or anything during WWII. We were completely removed from it, as we have been from every war we've raged. waged*
Sacrifice to Americans is something other people do, not something that we'd ever have to do.

Dr. Kirara 🍄 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
Right, not infecting people and not getting infected are one in the same. But remember that people can be asymptomatic for two weeks and still be spreading it. If an American doesn't have symptoms, they aren't sick. That's genuinely what we believe. So if these people go out and they see someone coughing, they'll distance from that person. But they'll get close to the people who aren't coughing and stuff. So for them they see absolutely no risk to be around other people.

I may be incorrect on this but I'm pretty sure the States by far had the worst bout of state propaganda outside of maybe China regarding the virus not being as big a deal as somewhere making -some were making it out to be too.

>>836345 Yeah but like Half his savings in one stock I'm sure you know more than me but surely it's smarter to diversify than go all in on Tesla Especially after that one time Elon purposely set his stock price to $420
Koi
He probably doesn't know enough about stocks to diversify enough. 4 stocks in tesla right now would be... $2800 and yeah, since it dipped 80 he lost 320 I don't know when he got in, probably a cheaper price than this, but it's one of those things where you're saying 'go with the stuff you know will go up'. Tesla's not "stable" but it's lucrative and constantly doing something good somehow so it's not a bad pick. Consider the fact that at one point in time he was talking about the stock price going to 420 and stopping. Now it's 700
I wonder how much current runs through audiovisual cables

there's this girl in sakura wars named anastasia she has white hair and her theme music sounds a little russiany so im inclined to assume she's russian
BUT she's brown??? brown russian girl named Anastasia in 1940s japan?
!C0.PerkELE
could be a mongol etc
!C0.PerkELE
ofc the siberian folk don't really have the blond hair gene for that matter
!C0.PerkELE
so maybe she is a russian gyaru?
Dr. Kirara 🍄 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
hmm
Dr. Kirara 🍄 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
wait, maybe she's Argentinian? palma is a Spanish name i think
!C0.PerkELE
maybe she is a romanov who fled to spain etc
Dr. Kirara 🍄 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
i will die if they don't answer this question in the game
!C0.PerkELE
then again, is not like japs don't do weird hair+tone combos take viletta nu from code geass as an example
Dr. Kirara 🍄 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
yeah, true
Anno
Also, Tite Kubo gives no fucks
!C0.PerkELE
well bleach is fantasy
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
wait bleach isn't real?
!C0.PerkELE
>>836430 yes there is no such thing as a liquid that turns clothe white
I didn't even realize they were in the original video I thought you were just talking about the woman in the mo-cap suit.
!C0.PerkELE
from the shit quality clip, tho better layouted than the youtube one it looks like she is wearing some paper mask face like a 2d cutout of jill
but it is a light+camera layout htey use to get the facial expressions
月
>>836444 have you checked out smm2 since the new items and features came out? im just seeing it now there's a ton of stuff
probably not with aminal crossing keeping you busy huh
Anno
Animal Crossing's been eating a lot of my time yeah, but I've also gotten into Factorio again.
I did watch through the promo video Nintendo did for the update so I'm familiar with what's been added, though I might not know the niche interactions or things people have discovered.
survive and actually prosper are two different terms tho
we get boars here from russia, but they don't survive here, even when not hunted down
Dr. Kirara 🍄 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
yeah but them not being able to just thrive in canada and spread like crazy (even though they can do that like 80% of the year) doesn't make them less terrifying
!C0.PerkELE
California is fucked that is prolly their ideal territory
!C0.PerkELE
but really biggest issue would be them encountering the locla honey bees, who have not developed the "swarm and overheat" tactic the japanese/etc ones have so you'd once again have just couple hornets killing entire nests which can be quite disastrous for honey producers, who already have a ton of issues with keeping their bees safe
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE!C0.PerkELE
>inb4 someone imported the murder hornets to take care of killer bees
Dr. Kirara 🍄 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
>Vespa amino acid mixture is a nutritional supplement consisting of larval saliva sold with the intent of improving endurance during exercise. Several companies in Asia and Europe have begun to manufacture dietary supplements and energy drinks which contain synthetic versions of secretions of the larvae of V. mandarinia, which the adult hornets usually consume. The manufacturers of these products make claims that consuming the larval hornet secretions (marketed as "hornet juice") will enhance human endurance because of the effect it has on adult hornets' performance. During laboratory testing on mice, increased lipolysis (metabolism of fat) was observed in rat adipocytes (fat cells) alongside improved swimming endurance, decreased lactate, and increased glucose concentration in the blood stream. While testing on mice has produced optimistic outcomes, trial tests on humans were inconclusive. Ten trained cyclists were given either an 80 ml serving of the mixture or a sports-drink placebo. Variables tested included the time to complete the 20 km race, peak power, average power, maximum heart rate, and average heart rate. Participants who consumed it had significantly lower maximum heart rates, but no other statistically significant changes were seen.[14]
!C0.PerkELE
> In September 2019, the British Columbia Ministry of Agriculture has confirmed the hornets have been found on Vancouver Island in Canada, with a nest having been discovered and subsequently destroyed in the city of Nanaimo
Dr. Kirara 🍄 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
did you read the article? when that happened the dude he got rid of them got tore the fuck up stung him through two layers of clothes and a bee suit fuckin crazy
!C0.PerkELE
yeah it is a half a cm long stinger and prolly has quite force behind it too
!C0.PerkELE
I think the key question with these hornets is how deep the ground freezes they most likely lack good enough antifreeze to truly survive being frozen, but if the grounds don't go into frost deep enough, they can prolly easily winter almost anywhere
Dr. Kirara 🍄 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
>The hornets can fly up to 100 km (60 mi) in a single day, at speeds up to 40 km/h (25 mph)[23]
!C0.PerkELE
I wonder do hornets have a wings that repair or wings that just fail at some point like bees do

>An inseminated queen begins to create relatively small cells in which she raises around 40 small workers. Workers do not begin to work outside of the hive until July. Queens participate in activities outside the hive until mid-July, when they stay inside the nest and allow workers to do extranidal activities. Early August marks a fully developed nest, containing three combs holding 500 cells and 100 workers. After mid-September, no more eggs are laid and the focus shifts to caring for larvae. The queens die in late October.[14]
hmm so if they're in north america now we probably won't really know the extent for a little while because they're just now starting to build their nests
!C0.PerkELE
>>836470 I wonder if this is set in stone or varies by temperature?
!C0.PerkELE
>>836470 I wonder how well the mid-america would treat them cause there most likely are some "barriers" they won't spread to, simply lacking the environments they like to nest in
afterall, the species does mainly live on the coastline in asia too well relatively coastline
Dr. Kirara 🍄 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
>. They prefer to live in low mountains and forests, while almost completely avoiding plains and high-altitude climates. if they moved down through california and then east they'd probably be able to spread
!C0.PerkELE
or possibly through canada-america border if it isn t cold enough
Dr. Kirara 🍄 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
might be able to manage that in summertime
!C0.PerkELE
I dunno how foresty your foresty areas are tho my view of forests is heavily scewed by my local region
i afterall live in a one huge forest

This show was really cute, comfy, fun. I enjoyed it a lot The premise is kind of weird though like, why is missing a school year because of illness something to be ashamed of it's not like it was your fault or you failed exams
Even so Good show. 7.5/10.
Anno
Things that make you ashamed or anxious don't always make sense to other people. Or even if you're looking back in hindsight you can see you were being unnecessary at the time about it. Plus for Japanese culture there's often a good bit of ostracizing the weird or abnormal. Nails that stick out and hammers after all. I think if you're worried about sticking out, something like being a year off could easily start triggering those anxious "what if" thoughts that gets you ashamed of your state.
Anno
Also, doesn't it feel a bit weird beign -being a mid/late-twenties adult starting university around all these eighteen or nineteen year-old kids? Did for me. Still does, really, even though I know there's a lot of mature students in programs there. Imagine that feeling but amplified up because teenagers tend to experience things more intensely because they're dumb hormonal machines.
>>836480 Sure, but you're probably a bit more level-headed than a teen by now. I'd hope.
Mahou Shoujo Marsh-chan
Yeah but it would be even weirder if i lied about it and pretended to be 20

>>836479 I demand that my Japanese anime characters act with detached rationality and cold-hearted logic at all times.
Costco's Kirkland brand frozen burger patties aren't really as good as some of the others I can get from other grocery stores. Inarguably better value, but normally Kirkland weirdly is both bulk-cheaper and pretty good quality. Still made for some good burger though.
Mahou Shoujo Marsh-chan
I really like it when the put the "boing" sound in you see that's the cue that a a character has large breasts and they need to put that in because otherwise I wouldn't understand.
i wanna work on a cargo ship idc about low pay deckhand or anything
FormerRei@mobile
>>836547 Could be pretty comfy. There are cargo ship "cruises", I've looked into them as a cheap way of transporting stuff from Japan. Since if I ever go I'm sure I'll buy way too much manga to bring back on a plane. Although I doubt I'll ever actually ever get around to going Japan.

Dr. Kirara 🍄 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
you must ah that was my second guess hello bangu how do you do what's new
Anno
i don't know if i should be proud of myself or horrified that i could be mistaken for sugoi
Dr. Kirara 🍄 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
the deciding factor in me thinking you were sugoi is that i can still imagine sugoi coming to a place like this whereas i picture you as having moved on in your life and grown
Anno
bruh i've been posting for weeks now i'm back baby bing bang bongo congo bam
Dr. Kirara 🍄 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
oh that explains why ton has been talking about you

Anno
well her clothes are very colorful i like her mostly, though i get the feeling she's not like s-tier powerful or anything she shares a name with she who becomes Izayoi >>836583 hmmmm
this negatively impacts my opinion i give her a 7.2/10
Dr. Kirara 🍄 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
oh her name is actually mirin the filename isn't her actual name
would you take this girl out on a date where would you take her
Anno
lol no i would never cheat on my WIFE
Dr. Kirara 🍄 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\

Anno
my wife is regret
Dr. Kirara 🍄 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
can i see a picture of her

i'm married to my mistakes and misgivings, enamored with my failure and betrothed to my incompetence a husk of a person, with naught left to find but despair - an entitlement to nothing and nothing alone
>>836640 arcade friends have good time at the arcade

what happened to floopers?
Dr. Kirara 🍄 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
floop had a weird mental breakdown and became convinced i was the devil, started telling me to kill myself over and over until he finally just left moe and went to tano
>>836646 we're gonna get a little place and we're gonna have a rika, and some bang, and we're gonna have maybe, maybe a sugoi. down in the basement we'll have a little field of hydroponic alfalfa for the floops.
