  2. It's snowing in late march while it almost felt like summer on christmas...

    Why tho?

      I blame Covid 19 :P 

  3. Booted windows for the first time in months.

    Asks me whenever I open any application, whether I want to update it, had to repair drive C:\ for some reason on start up, slow as hell, and has now been updating win 10 for almost 1 1/2 hrs. Time is incorrect and I have to fix it from my *Linux* which I dualboot. (other solutions on the net didn't work)

    I never had the chance to do disable any of that.... Now I remember why I don't use windows, lol.

      only one and a half hour of updates? must be the update to initiate the real updates 😂

      It did update for some time longer...

  4. Does that count as anime? I mean it's animation, which the Japanese would call an anime Apart from that, probably the movie 'Belladonna of Sadness'; pretty trippy.
  5. Here's an interesting video by Khan Academy to explain the maths behind the growth of Viruses and how estimations are made, with Corona as an example.

    Well presented and might explain to some people how these "ridiculous" high numbers of estimated infected and future deaths are created, and what people mean when they say that many countries are "lagging behind", i.e. in an earlier stage of the outbreak.

  6. So, our government banned all gatherings of more than 5 people; Thankfully my family is only 4 people large so we can still have dinner together:D

    But srsly, many more countries will probably follow this trend, since there's virtually no reason to assume that the virus will spread differently in other places. (Or at least most countries that have at lest some 100+ confirmed cases and/or had their first case a few weeks ago.)

     

    Finally people will learn to understand and appreciate the introvert live-style😆

    On a good note, my friend has been tested negative and more sore throat is gone, lel.

      I couldn't gather five people even if I wanted to 😂 we should all move to Montenegro. the current corona virus has not spread there yet 😂

      Good to hear of the negative result!

  7. Watched Pomare today. Awesome animations and interesting drawing style, and very, very Trigger-like
  8. Oatmeal, with some berries in it. Greek yoghurt with peanut butter stirred into it and banana. Quark and peanut butter on bread with apple slices. Since I started to do sport on a regular basis this year (though have to pause for now due to feeling a bit unwell) I started eating breakfasts with more protein and carbs rather than just slamming a piece of ham on some bread.
  9. Well, friend of mine with who I had a lot of contact at the beginning of the week is getting tested for Corona because some of his relatives have it. If he's tested positive, I'll be under quarantine until the 24th. (not that much would change, though....)

      Thanks. Unfortunately they still use the older test kits that take up to 2 days to get a result... so yeah. At least there doing more and more tests here, although by far not enough, unlike Italy a month ago or the US currently.

      Yikes!  Well, good luck.  With luck this will just be a virus-free 2-week vacation for you.

      Thanks, I will probably still have to do assignments and the online courses, so no vacation for me haha.

  10. yay, my country is probably going into a total lock-down by the end of the week. Though, rationally many more countries, which have infected people by now will eventually reach a similar situation.

    Also, started to have a sore throat...

      Join the sick club. @Nyxnine has been sick for a week or so. I have been having fever for two days. We are spreading something through Anime Forums

      Its true, everyone make sure to disinfect your monitors. I'm starting to feel better though! Mine was a sinus infection. I lucked (?) out and got antibiotics. @Illusion of Terrafluids, sleep, no stress. Need to be passing good advice around hahah

      @RuthisianCodex Thanks! I don't think it's anything serious. First of all, if kind of gets better and worse by the hour and I didn't really have to cough. Also, I  had no contact with a known case or with anyone who come from a risky region like Italy.

      @Illusion of Terra If everyone here gets sick, will AF be under quarantine?

  11. Funnily enough, it's not toilet paper people are bunking but beer, the shelves are literally empty though I guess I shouldn't have expected anything different from my country . That being said, we don't really have a wide spread panic, not any of these "hundreds of people storming the supermarket"-kind of scenarios. I mean, if I go out it doesn't look like that people care much; either they actually don't (fair point unless you often have close contact with old/sick people) or don't know that the majority of the population will eventually contract the disease and that we should isolate old people. Kinda risky situation since we border Italy and our government hinted that maybe if they fail to control the situation will have a full on lock down like our neighbour. (In that case, I'd finally have the time to watch Gundam) But eh, over here we say "let's wait and drink tea".
  12. I kind of need Telegram for communication with my fellow students and whatsapp to communicate with everyone else I know but apart from that, there's hardly any social media that I actually need. No one I know uses FB anymore I've deleted my account years ago, I only have a Insta account in order to follow some museums and while I love looking at painting, the glorious Model 1860 Military Light Cavalry Sabers (lel) and other old artifacts it's something I don't actually need. I'm a lot on reddit but I could up my reading time if I dropped it and I could find nice wallpapers without 4chan so I guess I can do without them too. Youtube might actually be the hardest to quit... It has decent science videos and I use it supplementary for studying... So it mostly boils down to the messaging services because no one here uses email and calling isn't a good substitution for large group chats.
  13. It is a confusing series though. With fast changes in time and POV character in a short amount of time - not unlike Baccano but the anime fails to tie everything together. However, even the novels leave several things open and unanswered, very much intentional since its a long story where things get indirectly answered in later books (I've read only to book 6 so far and the anime leaves one arc out [a really good and important one!]). I can only recommend the LN; not only as good LNs but as good books in general with great writing.
  14. Can't really make a definite list with a ranking nor have I thought deeply about it but I liked: Araburu Kisetsu no Otome-domo yo (though I wasn't a fan of the last 3 or so eps.) Kimetsu no Yaiba One Punch Man Season 2 (held my expectations low since I heard some bad suff, so I was pleasantly surprised!) Yakusoku no Neverland Dororo Tate no Yuusha (even though I think it's not that good, I kinda liked it...) Kaguya sama And there's Boogiepop 2019... it's kind of in a limbo of being good and bad. Having read the novels beforehand (and I loved them. not just as good LN but as good books in general) I was kinda disappointed by all the good and important stuff that they had left out to the point that I actually think they made it unnecessarily confusing and weird. But the mood, meaning the music and how they framed everything was so well done IMO that I kinda enjoyed it even though I cringed every time they realized what they had cut out. I already forgot a bunch of shows that come out this year and that I had watched but if I forgot them, they probably didn't leave much of an impression on me...
  15. I think, as far as I understood you, this could also tie in, or rather is directly related with the prominent 'elitism' in the anime community. While anyone can say that someone else's fav. show is trash or what not, there definitely are very, very hardcore elitists who seem to be on a quest to desperately find the anime that they can say is perfect in every whatsoever (whatever that's supposed to mean...) while they try 'enlighten' everyone that everything else is trash. They're usually not that hypocritical because they are pretty clear on what they think is 'objectively good' animation, characters, story, etc... and are usually fairly consistent about it, however I think their premise, that they, through whatever divine intervention, know what is good and what is not, is simply fallacious. While the idea of discussing anime and somehow deducing what can be considered good (not what people have to like but of what we can say that it has good writing and what not) is important, these elitists seem to have done that by themselves rather than as part of the community and just split the community unnecessarily.
  16. Started Araburu Kisetsu no Otome-domo yo after finishing Dumbbell Nan Kilo Moteru? (which was hilarious!). Liking it so far, very unique and interesting.
  17. Read 'I sold my life for 10 000 yen a year' and 'Soul Eater', both pretty good. I liked the soul eater anime but the manga might be my favourite shounen manga so far!
  18. I was wondering how it can switch from 40° to snow in a day - then realized that you probably meant 40° Fahrenheit XD Cold and gloomy here. Always raining during the night...
  19. Not a fan of presents overall, especially receiving them, so there's not really anything I want except to be with my family. Also, christmas food!
  20. The Zaregoto OVA that shaft made in 2017. Read the LNs recently, after all, it's NisiOisiN's break-through series. Love it, nearly a 1:1 adaptation (Though they had to scrap some of the narration) with shaft's unique style similar to the Monogatari series.
  21. 9anime has pretty much everything dubbed and subbed in high quality. Alternatively, you could just torrent them - you can get BD quality on most anime-focused torrent sites. The only problem is ongoing anime; torrenting every single episode is a hassle so I usually wait until there a batch after the series` finished.
  22. I use cheap ones when I'm outside my home since that's time where they're most likely to break and some high quality ones at home where I'm more careful. In the long run, I think that's the cheapest method.
  23. Varies. There are times where I drink more coffee (black, without milk or sugar) and times when I drink more tea (usually Early Grey or some kind of Green Tea). I think I drink more tea during winter - somehow that kinda established itself as my holidays beverage of choice.
  24. Our school had something like an 'Afternoon care' for everyone under 8th grade where you basically stayed in school, ate and did all your homework for children whose parens worked long hours. So, during our free time there a friend and I decided that it`d be really cool to get into the gym, take these weird sticks with styriofoam around the tip and play "Jedi" - essentially fighting with this things while imaging some epic Star Wars Soundtrack in the background. We did this for about 15 mins. when I trippded and fell backwards landing on my back. My friend thought its a great idea to exploid this slip and thrust this stick right into my face shouting some stupid phrase (Probably among the lines of "Now you're done for" or "Hasta la vista baby")... the back of my head bashed against the floor and shortly after something felt weird in my mouth. Turned out, he nearly bashed out my upper front teeth. Later in the hospital they said that each tooth was basically dangling from only one nerve each (and several years later they said that I was lucky that I didn't need a Root canal treatment). The punchline: this happened on the 23rd of december so I could only eat soft white bread without crust at christmas eve. (and my entire mouth hurt throughout the winter vacation). Though honestly, we could laugh about this when we saw each other in school again.
