Just finished anime with 110 episodes. Been watching for over 6 months.
Time for that post-anime depression ayy lmao.

That doesn't happen very often but I was pretty sad for a quite a while once Hayate ended. I grew up reading it and it got me into anime.

I don't drink tea (or anything other than water) often but my mom does, everyday, while talking to our neightbors. Seems like a fun pastime. Me, I'm too lazy to brew tea. I just want to drink water to make the thirst go away instantly and resume with whatever I'm doing. Often, I eat stuff right out of my fridge without reheating because I just don't feel like it's worth the effort.

Stepmania is really fun. I looked up the price of dance pads after playing it for a few hours today and wow they are expensive! Good luck on making your own dance pad, Loko. Really hope that it's easy to make one yourself so I can make one too. Sometimes when I feel sad I just start running up and down the stairs and feel much better. If it's possible to exercise while playing games that would be great.

I bought 16 games on steam today (because of the sale) since I won't have anything to do for the next few months. I wish I had a better computer but what can I do but start saving.

What the heck, I just got home at 8pm, took a shower, watched a bit of anime, played games for a while, made sure I post at least once per day on lewd. Looks at clock 3AM lol

What games did you get? Also what upgrades are you planning on doing? :o

World end economica, wonderful everyday, Touhou luna light, stein;gate and s;g 0, the new dlc for rabi ribi, planetarian, the dlcs for narcissu, lieat, fortune summoner, divinity original sin 1 and 2, danganronpa 1 and 2,  alicemare and 1bitheart. I wanted to get scarlet curiosity and some other eroge to support the dev and translators but I don't like that some of them cut a lot of content to be on steam.

I'm using a 7 year old thinkpad W510. It's getting pretty old and sluggish. I've been pretty contented with it since almost all of the games that I want to play don't require modern hardwares. Although I do want to run a rimworld colony with more than 10 people, 30 animals someday. I'll wait until Navi and Zen2 but I think, a modest computer with something like a Ryzen 2600, RX580, 8gb of RAM, 250gb of ssd, 1tb HDD will do everything that I need it to. Currently, that puts it around $900 but might be closer to $1200 when factoring in all of the peripherals.

Yeees! World end! Nice haul overall, you're gonna be busy for a while 😛

As for the build, that's pretty good! Though if you ever get the chance you should keep a look out on /r/buildapcsales for a 16GB ram module. I was running off 8 GB for a few months and I kept getting frustrated with my system lol. But it depends on how you use it, so maybe you'll have better luck with it than me!

Yeah, it'll be interesting to see what the RAM situation will be with Zen 2. I've heard through the grapevine that the die interconnect will have it's own clock source, therefore no longer relying on the speed of the RAM.

I sure hope so; I'll also be looking to upgrade sometime next year^^

Stay strong, Loko-san! Brighter days will visit you in time. Just make sure you're getting the help you need, 'kay? <3

been pretty low lately myself, haven't really gotten out of bed all week

'Key' is an adorable name for a cute anime girl
"Key-chan! Key-chan! Key-chan!"

I had a date today, it was nice.
I just wish she didn't apologise for herself so much, no idea why she feels like she has to.

Eyoooooo its weeekend. I have taken 5 days off, I need it. I'm going to go out skiing.
Time to go off the grid into the montains, disconnect from the every day stress.

I reckon that's a grand idea. Have fun, Yuu-kun!

I think it would of been better if Eddie Murphy played the Genie not Willian Smith. Who else can be perfect as Eddie who voiced Donkey (Shrek) and Mushu (Mulan). Genie is just like them a funny character

That's not very healthy D:<
I have heard that being sedentary is dangerous. When I tried to marathon Naruto in 2 weeks I was feeling pretty sick and tired (despite being motionless most of the time) by day 4.
I think you'd feel a little bit better by jogging or just walk slightly faster than you'd normally for an hour outside in the morning. Hope you guys feel better soon.

I know it isn't; my friend on irc encouraged me to try this 30 day yoga challenge with them and i'm actually felt a bit more energetic today ^_^'/
I know what you mean about the sick feeling, its soo werid :S
Thanks for the concern reaching out !

Almond butter isn't as nice as peanut butter :/

really? i find it has a charm of its own :o

It could be because it was completely unseasoned. The peanut butter I usually get has a bit of salt added to it.

I hate making food >~<

Up to 100 teas think thats good enough for my 2016 resolution. Most I liked and some disliked some. Think 6 of them I had to spit out x.x

All my current roleplaying is on hold because of international pressure placed on me that if it passes, I would think of myself as being kicked from anime altogether and ensuring that I won't ever love a 2D character ever again, even forbidding myself to draw or imagine them, especially if they're not fully grown adults. Don't let this happen to you all, we NEED to protest against the UN!

Yes I have! I followed a recipe, but basically you just let the food processor go at the almonds for around 20-25 minutes until it's nice and creamy.

mmm that sounds sooo deliciouss
it kind of sounds like how i make hummus
will definitely try this next time i go to the grocery store

Have you ever looked at something written in English and just think "That's a lot of "I""?
It's necessary most of the time, can't really say a sentence like this without "I". It just sounds weird. There isn't a lot of ways to eliminate "I" in a sentence.
Expressions like "I think", "I feel" have to have that "I" there. That can be avoided by using something else like "in my opinion" (not really interchangeable) or utilizing passive voice but that can be hard and odd-sounding.
It must be weird to see this brought up but when I write something in English I keep trying to get rid of as many of them as possible because it's not common to see this much "I" in my native language.
"That's just how it works. It has been like this since forever and it's fine." - me, probably.
I realize that I always tend to lead the conversation to myself. I think, I believe, this happened to me. I hate that. It's like I cannot form a thought without talking about myself. Sigh, what a self centered person I am

I r-m-mb-r thinking about this, but with - instead. I suppos- talking without - might be -asi-r than talking without I.

I know of two works of fiction which follow this constraint: A Void (La Disparition) and Gadsby. Additionally, if you look for it you can find a virtual sub-community which avoids using that fifth glyph fully, but I can't link it as doing so would show that sign in this post.
