Hard to think I have been here for nearly 2 years in just a few months. How things have changed in just that little time.
-
Nothing like listening to a good audio book, and making serious progress in it.

Hi there Kity I have to say I really like your avatar its cute. What series is it from.
-
Hi there Anime Lover hows it going hope your having a good day.

Hello there my friends I am going through a bit of change of username. I have been thinking about this for a while now, and feel it suits be a lot more then my previous one Archie for a number of reasons. This is just a quick update. Geano formally Archie.

sigh Google really dose want to own the world. I mean I like google services a lot, but they really should not be getting into gaming this way.
-
Started writing what is going to be a one shot fan fic. Its turning out awesome story wise so far.
-
I agree fully with him on this matter. It is very much a destruction of art among other things.

Addictive/addicted behavior aside (candy crush anyone?), there is no such thing as "free". Everything costs somebody something to make, and nobody willingly gives anything away for free. If you're getting a good or a service and you're not paying for it with money then you're paying for it in some other way, guaranteed. That's the first thing that people have to understand. If you don't understand how you're paying and/or can't control your costs then walk away. I would rather pay more cash - up front and above board - than pay for something with my privacy, or my rights, or in some other insidious or nefarious way. If somebody offers something "for free" then cover your wallet.
The other thing is that the whole "cheap at any cost" mindset is destroying quality. No matter if we're talking games, health care, household items, professional services, or anything else. If you want quality then be prepared to pay for it. If people always go for the cheapest item or the cheapest method without considering anything else then quality WILL suffer. Not only for you but for everyone, especially if "cheap at any cost" becomes the norm and companies stop offering the higher quality (but more expensive) version due to lack of demand.
Note that the opposite - paying the highest price in search of quality - is absolutely not a guarantee either. It is quite easy for a shyster to take the cheapest item and slap a high price tag on it. There are sellers as well as buyers out there who are looking to get something for nothing. As always, buyer beware. Think before you buy. Ask questions. Understand what you're asking for in terms of actual cost, not only price. Compare competing products. Get guarantees and warrants in writing.

I was wearing one of my convention hoodies today while out on my walk. I ended my walk by doing some quick gooseberry shopping at my local market. One of the baggers wouldn't stop complimenting me on it, and the fact I know so much about anime. Plus they kept asking if I was going to a anime con next month like 5 times. All five times I told them yes. I think I made their day more so then they made mine, but still making someone happy is its own reward.
-
Well first anime con is over for the month now off for April and then back at it again for May. Gotta love con season.
-
First day of the first con of the year went by so well. Had a great time. Hoping to have as good of time tomorrow, and Sunday.
-
Don't know exactly how I feel about this, but if it tastes good and is somehow healthier then why not.
-
Just finished Rising of the Shield Hero through the current episode. I love this series.
-
Thx for the follow, and awesome Inuyasha cover photo by the way.
-
This is cool. I never new about this series of consoles. Yes its kinda lame comparred to pretty much anything else Nintendo has, but a cool collectible all the same.
-
So much is happening so fast in my life. Sometimes I just want it all to slow the frick down, but other things I want to happen. Gotta love life when its like that.
-
I have to ask where do you get your avatars from like all of them have been dope as hell.
-
USB standards just got way way worse this is so not dope. ehhhh
-
If you're talking about all that 3.2 nomenclature murketing then I'd have to agree. Just when I thought they'd all come to their senses with the USB C connector they go and do something like that.
The only thing worse is AT&T's murketing over "G5".
Get used to it though. The consumer protection groups are being (have been?) systematically defanged, defunded, or outright shut down over the last few years. I don't expect this sort of behavior get any better any time soon. Buyer beware.
