Can't say I had much going on at age 18.5 (currently 37). I had just graduated HS in 2005, and started going to a local community college immediately in the fall afterward, majoring in computer information systems/technology. Second semester in (2006), I got a job working at this chain buffet restaurant called Ryan's Steakhouse... and hated every minute of it. Thankfully, that lasted only a few months before my dad got appointed elsewhere with his job, and we all moved to the region we live in currently. I enrolled in another community college the next county over, and spent a lot longer than one should have trying to figure out what the heck I wanted to do. So, I guess I was trying to figure out what I wanted to go into as a career, while simultaneously discovering how much I hated the odd jobs I had to do to make ends meet. The "trial" period, if you will, of life's subscription had ended at that point.2 points

The question was posed by one of the younger crew at work today, "Why do they call it 'spam' anyway?". To which I of course replied, "well, you know that Monty Python sketch? That's where it comes from." To which he replied, "what's Monty Python?". Oi.. don't they teach kids anything in school these days?!2 points

I am currently 44, so when I was 22(2001) I was still finding my way in this world(kinda still am lol). I was working at UPS and I believe I went to my first anime convention that year(not my first con, but my first dedicated to anime). Other than that, not too much else to write about.2 points

It's daffodils that are toxic, not dandelions. It's sort of important to know the difference. I agree, it would be SO boring if we were all the same.2 points

Iâve played nearly every hour of the beta of the new SAO game, sword art online fractured daydream, and itâs amazing. Itâs really really fun and has a lot of potential. There are some things that arenât good enough but itâs to be expected of a beta like that. This is basically what I sent to the devs (I wrote a lot lol): Iâm pretty sure the devs teams is gonna fix these problems but I will point out everything I saw. Agil needs more tank skill and a better taunt. Leafa needs more support skills/healing skills. Itâs very difficult to see the enemy health-bar when playing, especially on close quarter combat characters like Argo and kirito. Weak points are too hard to hit for pretty much every character except sinon or leafa where itâs a lot easier (flying and aiming) which in turn makes the âside questâ appearing during a battle boss about dealing the most damage to the weak point or dealing the most damage way easier for them and nearly impossible for others. There is no way to know which characters need healing as there are always action and that a lot of players use the same characters (a color indicator going from green to red on the player could help for characters like leafa). The weak point hit boxes are too small to the point where itâs random when you hit their weak point. Attributes that serves nothing to weapons appears way too much, example: fire weakness on a light weapon. Boss move a bit too much making it really painful to hit their weak point and not their resist point. No player rank rewards (probably just a beta thing and you will add them when the game releases). Upgrading weapons/accessory unnecessary unless you have a legendary. When there is suppose to be a character talking a white box with text box showing ââŚâ with no voice appears instead. Characters have skills that do the same thing but deal less damage or just skill that can do 1500 damage with nothing else and another skill able to do 8000 and able to hit multiple targets (Argo). Argoâs unique skill being way too situational and weak, especially in boss battles. Leafa healing is way too low compare to what enemies can do (same for kiritoâs unique skill but not as much). Attacks being executed on the spot and not making the character move a bit toward the targeted ennemies makes it so a lot of skills and attacks do nothing for example: when holding heavy attack with kirito and attacking a flying ennemy in the air then doing right after multiples light attacks to deal more damage to it in the sky, most of theses strikes except the last will actually do any damage because the ennemy would have move a tiny bit farther after the heavy attack. No incentive to clear more mobs or open more chest in coop quest because you can get all the exp you need doing quest and because the loot you get from chest gets you nearly nothing or you can just get them when doing quest. For example most people would just do every quest even if under levels because they can easily level up from these stronger monster, especially on the tower quest where players would just defeat the level 23 enemies to get a lot of exp then complete it after. As such, the kobold boss fight gets very easy where itâs defeated in mere minutes if everyone gangs up on the boss to deal damage. Sinon making more damage near the ennemies makes her pistol worthless as it does less damage than her sniper when close to the enemies. Also Sinon sniper making more damage up close doesnât help her at all since she is supposed to hit from far away and not from up close. I can understand that going closer to the enemies makes more challenge but it really doesnât help her kit and her character/playstyle. Going up close near the danger is more of kiritoâs job or Argoâs job. You can take for example how melee dps and ranged dps acts in final fantasy 14. Ranged dps deal the most damage and are forced to stay close to the enemies, resulting in them needing to evade most of the ennemies attack, while the ranged dps can safely deal damage while being more consistent. Basically melee dps (kirito) = more damage but higher risk, while ranged dps (Sinon) = less damage but less risk and consistency in damage. Maybe donât do something too similar but this is just and idea or a way of thinking that could be good. Except that keep what you are doing dev team, the game is so fun I got addicted to the beta test to the point where I played all of the time allowed for it and canât wait to play more. It might not be the SAO mmo I always wanted but this game definitely has immense potential. Itâs really really fun. And of course you donât have to listen to everything I wrote but I hope you will at least give it a chance. Ty very much. -a huge fan of SAO1 point

Akudama Drive - dystopian/cyberpunk adventure, female protagonist. Kind of a spoiler, but several characters donât survive (kind of like Edgerunners) Lycoris Recoil - girls with guns action, some slice of life & humor. Bluray collection is awfully expensive though. Expelled from Paradise - futuristic cyberpunk movie. Claymore - dark fantasy, swordswoman Deca-Dence - post apocalyptic future, kaiju. Kinda cyberpunk. ID: Invaded - cyberpunk, detectives vs serial killers Iria Zeiram: The Animation - retro anime, futuristic female bounty hunter. 6 episode OVA Solty Rei - cyberpunk, bounty hunters Moribito Guardian of the Spirit - female warrior/bodyguard1 point

That'd be so SWEET!!!! I'd be using it so much that I'd most likely forget what time it was while totally immersing myself in it. lol It's how I get with my games most of the time. XD I gift you a pot of cooked Corned Beef and Cabbage that my mom makes on Saint Patrick's day~ ^^ It's surprisingly good for cooking 2 things together in a pot. I wasn't too sure if it would be or not at first, but OMG I could eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner until there wasn't any left!1 point

Oh, I didn't think he did. That's comforting to know in that case. ^^ I agree. I always wanted to collect all seasons of the DBZ DVDs (the ones that people call "orange bricks"), but I was never able to get all of them. After Akira's tragic and untimely passing I bet everything Dragon Ball is going to sell for a premium now, so the chances of me ever completing my DBZ collection probably got drastically reduced. ;.; At least I've got all of the Z movies though~ ^^ I'll keep collecting the games though. The ones that don't require online playing, that is, due to our monthly data limit. >< Who's your favorite DB character?1 point

Thanks~ ^^ I got pretty sad when I found out Akira Toriyama passed away. He was planning on doing so much more with the franchise. There might be someone that will try to carry on his legacy, or maybe even a team of people to do it, but I'm not sure if anyone will be able to seamlessly resume his works.1 point

My all time favorite horror anime is Shiki (vampires/suspense). Maybe also try Angels of Death (survival/serial killers/dark romance) & Ghost Hunt (paranormal investigators) I consider these supernatural instead of horror but also maybe try Mushishi (cryptids) ⢠Ushio & Tora (shonen/yokai) ⢠Dororo (samurai/demons) ⢠The Ancient Magus Bride (celtic folklore/dark romance) ⢠Gleipnir (body horror/romance/action)1 point

As my own way of making a tribute project to Akira Toriyama in light of his passing away, I made a set using Android 17 and Android 18. The reasons I hold those two characters in such high regard is because they remind me of how my big sister and I cared about each other and how close we were. It felt like it was us two against the world most of the time. So, as a tribute to the late Akira Toriyama, here is my new set: Avatar: Signature:1 point

Hello everyone! Wow, well, I think this blog entry is very much overdue, I apologise greatly for not making a post sooner or ever making that post about the gear or training (if you're interested, feel free to DM me) So firstly thank you to everyone for the support! The goal was reached, and all the money was given to MRF!!!! (huge thank you to @Animedragonfor the donations) As for the journey, well, I'll do my best to talk about it while also keeping it short. I'm afraid I don't remember the dates or times, but I'll do my best! So firstly me and my fiancee did this together along with a group of around 25 other students from Ireland. We arrived at Dublin airport early, where we met the whole group for the first time (some of us had met at fundraisers but didn't get to know each other until that moment) From there we flew to Doha and then flew into Dar Es Salaam. After a 7-hour bus trip through Tanzania, we arrived at Moshi (a small town near the base of Kilimanjaro), where we would stay the night. Waking up early, we headed for Kili, this was a beautiful trip, and honestly, seeing Africa was just honestly one of the most beautiful things in the world, a real eye-opener. Arriving at Kili, we were greeted by some really adorable monkeys at the gate and had to wait a couple of hours for our gear to be unloaded and sorted among the porters. we took the Machame route which is a total of 7 days, 5 up, 2 down. We started day 1 through the rainforest which was definitely a very difficult day, we arrived at camp much later than expected and had to use our head torches (Machame Camp) Within the first day my fiancee became very sick but managed to push through day 2 towards Shira Camp, which I found quite a pleasant and beautiful walk. Shira Camp was definitely breathtaking. The next day was when the altitude started to get to me, we went up to the Lava Tower for lunch and back down to the Barranco Camp where we would stay the night before tackling the amazing Barranco wall. At this point I was getting sick and suffering from some crazy migraines. We woke up nice and early and did the Barranco wall which was for sure the best way to start the day, absolutely love climbing and scrambling up the wall! but I didn't expect the very long walk after towards Barafu camp. At Barafu camp we prepared to summit and left at around 1am at night if I remember correctly, this was the most painful and exhausting day of my life, our noses were pumping blood and our brains were foggy, I swear I sleep walked half of it, at every break you just wanted to close your eyes and give up, every step was heavy and painful and it just never ended, there was a sea of headlamps slowly making their way up the mountain and it was dreadful, but finally at around 7am we made it to the top!, at that moment all the pain just vanished, it was a fresh of life, we got our pictures and within 15 minutes were heading down. Now if you thought getting up there was hard, coming down was just as bad, it was like a slip and slide of ash! absolutely dreadful experience, me and my fiancee swore to each other that we wouldn't do something like it again (that's a lie now) but we did it, and we were exhausted. the two days down was dreadful but we were all looking forward to a shower and a cold Coca-Cola at the bottom, it kept our spirits up. And that's it in summary! Now I know there is so much more detail and trust me I will give it, so many stories to tell and so many pictures to share, but I will save that for the next blog post! I just felt I needed to share that it was completed. So next post I will share some photos (at least one from each day) and then also some stories and what happened after we got down! Buuuut I wanted to make this post because What's next? Well We are thinking either Machu Picchu or Mont Blanc!!!!!!! And this time I will do a way better job documenting them with videos!!!1 point

Well done to both of you for completing the challenge. Thanks for the report, it sounds like you had a great time, but also that there were some parts of it that you'd prefer not to remember but it'll still be great thing to look back on. And you're now thinking of doing either Machu Picchu or Mont Blanc !! I'm told that Machu Picchu is seriously difficult to visit.1 point

"All things in moderation." Don't eat too much. Don't pay games all night. Don't drink too much. Overdoing things is bad, especially if it leads to habitual, self-destructive behavior. But if you never (over)do anything then that's kind of boring. Sometimes you just have to remove the limiters and go for it. Who knows? You might even learn something... even if it's just, "yep, that was a bad idea".1 point

I just bought a blu-ray of Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence (the English dub), X the Series (DVD), and a new 128gb memory card for my Switch (which makes 3 separate 128gb memory cards for it now). I got those 2 anime because big sis' got me X: the Movie and the first Ghost in the Shell on DVD. She got me Ghost in the Shell (1995) first since it was released sooner than X: The Movie which was released in 2001. I didn't understand a lot of the philosophical and existential aspects of Ghost in the Shell since I was in my younger teenage years, but I've always loved that movie because big sis' trusted me to be mature enough to watch it and knew I could handle it. It was a Christmas present, but before she gave it to me she asked mom if she could talk to her in mom's and dad's room. I was kind of confused and was really wondering what was going on, I definitely remember that. lol Apparently though big sis' wanted to ok it with mom first before she gave me the DVD of Ghost in the Shell given it was a film aimed toward adult audiences. I still have absolutely no idea what the conversation was between them, but big sis' got mom to agree to give me that movie as a Christmas present from big sis'. I was ecstatic when she came out with the DVD of GitS in her hand and I think I even got wide-eyed. lol Sis' got me X: the Movie either the next year or the year after that, but I can't remember if it was a Christmas present or birthday present. I've loved that movie for a long time, too. ^^ I've been meaning to get the DVDs of X the Series, but only managed to do it recently. I remember someone I met at some point a long time ago said I should see the X the Series which is the first time I heard of the series. Apparently the series released after the movie though. I'm amazed I've been able to get one. ^^ Everything about X (movie and series) and the first 2 Ghost in the Shell movies will always remind me of big sis', so I'm really excited to finally have those so I don't have to constantly worry that I might not get either one. ^^ It makes me remember how big sis' would always be thinking of me, her little brother, and those first 2 anime movies she ever got me will always spark memories of her when I watch them or my 2 new purchases from those franchises.1 point

I went for C&IS at the CC as well. At least to start. The local CC offered transfer credits towards the University of California system and UC Davis had a good C&IS program. The CC was a lot cheaper however, both tuition-wise and because it was close enough that I could save money by continuing to live with the parents, so my plan was to get the general-ed and low-level degree-related stuff out of the way at the CC and then transfer to Davis when I got to the higher-level material. It didn't quite work out as planned but I'm not complaining. I've only owned 3 cars in my entire life, including the one I'm driving now. And that one I only bought because a tree fell on my last one! I tend to take pretty good care of my cars and drive them until they wear out. Or a tree falls on them, whichever comes first. As it turned out things didn't go as I'd planned either. I was 2 years into classes at a community college (see above) when I took a job doing work a trained monkey could have done. It was only a summer job and was only supposed to last for 90 days, but it led to an unexpected job offer, which led to what is coming up on a 40 year career. Never did get around to attending UC Davis.1 point

I was actively watching the anime as it was on air and recently I started watching it again remembering it was quite fun but like damn,it has been almost 4 years since the last season,it's reviews was not bad,it was super popular then why no news for the new season guys? They are really sleeping on this anime.1 point

Half my current age, 71, isn't a whole number so for convenience I'll say it's 35. At 35 my life was pretty much ordinary and nothing really exciting was happening. I had just bought my second car, and like my first one it was second hand, yeah, I was late into the car-owning thing! Back then I was into computers, CB radio and model and real railways and I'd not even heard of anime. I was also happily in my 18th year of a job that I initially took as a 'stepping-stone' into what I thought would be a better job but after just 1 year I decided that I liked and enjoyed the 'stepping-stone' job much more than the one I was originally aiming for so I stayed with it for my entire working life.1 point

Just caught up on Apothecary Diaries and the characters are written so well. I especially love the main character, Mao Mao, who has an actual personality beyond her love interest, Jinshi. If anything, Jinshi is the one who's obsessed with her. Least to say, the mysteries were intriguing, art style was pleasant, and characters were written well. Can't wait for the next season.1 point

Everyone is a beginner at some point! Just remember that, and maybe youâll feel less on the outside Would you like to design your own costume or buy a prefab one? One simple idea: Buy a tail and ears and go as a fox demon? This can be beautifully done and very light on your wallet. Here is a rather elaborate example But you could wear something cute that you already own with just an addition of your new fox ears and tail maybe @Beocat can give you some pointers too1 point
