  1. My favorite random fact is that the St. Louis Blues were last place in the NHL on January 3rd, 2019, and went on to make the playoffs and win the Stanley Cup. My most useless talent... is having any better random facts to grab from my brain right now
  2. "Why is it dark when it's night outside and why can't I look at the sun? And how come when I look at the sun, it hurts my eyes and it makes me blind? How do you make sparkling water and why does it always go flat? Where'd all the bubbles go? No one will ever know, some things are just unsolveable... Questioooooooons, that will never have answers... Questioooooooons, that will never be solved. Questioooooooons, that will never have answers, Questioooooooons, that will never be solved. Which of our dads would win in a fight? Where does all the time go? Does the time get gifted to the father who wins, in this imaginary battle of fatherly fists? Why do we have to wash our hands? AND WHY IS IT GAY TO HAVE SEX WITH A MAN? Why is it illegal to build a bomb? And why can't we all just... get along? Questioooooooons, that will never have answers... Questioooooooons, that will never be solved. Questioooooooons, that will never have answers, Questioooooooons, that will never be solved. ...forever..." ~"Questions" by Value Select
  3. Glad to have ya here! Have you played very much GTA or CoD lately? I'm down with both but admittedly I can't shoot worth a damn in GTA lol, I just do the races

  4. I've never been to a con before, I think I'll be making this my 1st, and I have no clue what I'm even supposed to expect at something like this! Coming up on April 22nd, 3-Day event, dont know anything else at the moment. DOES ANYONE KNOW what the hell happens at conventions like this, and is anyone planning on going to THIS one??
  5. Sesshomaru was really interesting to watch grow and change in Inuyasha, he ended up with a good heart in the end but still maintained a stoic exterior. A guy that almost always kept his cool but still acted on emotion at times, often in a manner that projects as confident and unbreakable even with his back against the wall. He is still of good heart and is stoic in Yashahime, but his stoic-ness felt almost comically emphasized to the point he barely had any real interaction with anyone, even his daughters and child bride I MEAN wife.
  6. Me and my sisters have all watched "Inuyasha" in its entirety, grew up with the gang, love the world and love those guys... and Moroha is literally the only thing about Yashahime that we all wholeheartedly liked. Animation was visibly cheap and awkward, characters didnt act in a way that felt natural, showrunners kept throwing convoluted plot details at us to the point we stopped trying to figure out what was going on (like all of the sudden these things called "Kon" and "Haku" exist that were never mentioned before but are apparently vital to life and death?? And then there's everything with the dream butterfly and the sacred tree and threads of fate, which got really convoluted really fast), and the WHOLE show Towa is up on a pedestal as main character for seemingly no good reason, and everyone just kinda goes along with it while she gets bullshit powers left and right and never has to suffer any loss for more than 5 seconds. Watched both seasons out of morbid curiosity... the Black Hiraikotsu was cool and Moroha is precious. Thats all lol
  7. Fruits Basket is about as wholesome a show as I've seen (both the 2001 version and the new one). It really does try to help its viewers understand how to be better people, and being there for friends and family is a perfect example. A simple life lesson, but always worth reminding people of stuff like that
  8. I gotta say I highly approve of both your Sonic, and your Waifu. A man of culture truly

    We all still waiting on the sequel to that Sonic Utopia demo btw lol, you get a chance to play that demo?

  9. Welcome Lilly! You really seem to have a passion for anime aesthetic, especially the "cute girl" that seems to be almost mystical or magical. Well if there's anything any anime fan is able to understand, it's a fascination with waifus lol. You'll have plenty of opportunity to geek out about THOSE on a site like this
  10. It may be an old pic, but it looks like you have a solid style of your own, and the work you put in to really make her eyes sparkle is a nice touch! I know it's hard to consistently work on projects, try to disspell any feelings of guilt that start to build up when you havent done anything in a while. No one can do one thing over and over again until the end of time without a break, so its okay to have those periods where you dont work on anything for a while ✌
  11. Well shoot, it sounds like you got 10 episodes deep then. Probably a good call that you dropped it, you were 1 episode off from a very shocking turn of events for Junpei but it wouldnt have done anything to keep the rest of the show from feeling like deja vu. I see where you're coming from, there's only so many shows about a young boy making friends while trying to harness incredible power to fight a threatening evil before they all just start feeling the same lol.
  12. I feel for your story man, it's exrtaordinary how mant of your close relationships had to suddenly be totally replaced just because of 1 person. Actually kinda scary that it could happen like that It's been pretty easy to change my kneejerk mental reactions to remembering her because at the end of the day, she was never who I fell in love with. So I'll get over her soon enough, its the wasted time and connections I could have formed with other people that I'll struggle to get over And I'm glad that so far your story was able to find a happy ending, the deck was stacked against you but somehow you managed to rebuild with new people! What you did was incredibly admirable, I hope you have pride in that It's incredible how blind you can be when you feel love for someone, you'll even ignore your gut in favor of believing in them and what they tell you. The whole experience makes one vulnerable emotionally and in my case, even your beliefs will be actively challenged and thrown into question by that person. Right now I feel like I'm needing to rebuild myself in my own eyes pretty similar to what you're working on. We've both got to get to a place where WE are enough for ourselves... at least for now. And you did well seeing the signs and standing up for yourself! You made some hard decisions but you made them because you believe in a better future for yourself than being a punching bag. Here's to a future of self-respect for all ✌!
  13. Hey all, first time on here since 2020 and well, I've certainly had better times in my life lol Just broke things off on a relationship that I'd been in for 8 or 9 months, it was... messy. Ultimately, the girl I was with was literally a self-described "tyrant"... her words, not mine. She never once compromised on anything, kept me at arms length, essentially made it my job to move things along as she would sometimes go weeks without replying to me and never once made the first move on anything. The only reason it lasted so long was because we had deep conversations that told me I was misunderstanding the parts of her that felt distant, and I felt in reality she was accepting me more than anyone ever had! But in the end she wasn't accepting anything about me, she was just indifferent, at least by my definition. And the shitkicker is I had suspected it from the beginning, but all of our conversations told me I was just acting insecure and that it wasn't true! But I learned a lot about love and myself from the experience. I'm trying to re-educate myself on self-respect for starters, and I learned that the types of people I can feel love for are far more varied than I had thought! I'll be alright, it hurt at first but ultimately I was being mistreated and even what I felt for her was just what I felt for who I THOUGHT she was. I'm better off getting out of that relationship rather than trying to make things work with someone that won't go out on a ledge for me as I would for them. On a positive note, that experience has brought me back here! Of course I'm not just looking for love in a place like this, I also just feel super super guilty for abandoning this place back in 2020 I miss just being able to talk about anime with people lol
  14. I would say as far as Jujutsu Kaisen goes, I was totally where you are after 3 episodes. It felt overhyped, done before, flash in the pan. I was ready to give up on it tbh. But honest to God, it's as if the creators of the show were trying to trick people that follow the "3 episode rule" into leaving RIGHT BEFORE things start to get good! Episode 4 to me is where the show really starts, and it has this remarkable ability to catch you by surprise and strengthen your bond with it EVERY SINGLE EPISODE from there on, better than anything I've seen before or since. If you made it past episode 4 and still dont like it, you probably wont end up liking it later. But if you stopped at 3? Hey, you might be just a few episodes away from realising a new top-tier anime
  15. Hey, that's what I'm talking about! There's a lot more to be said about characters like him than a lot of people would give them credit for. Yeah he is a "save everybody, no one dies" hero, but there's always more going on than just that. There's trauma, there's defying the odds (which he always does in SPECTACULAR fashion), there's the value of life and choosing to take it in your own hands to protect it. Vash is a special character, there are similar types of characters, but even among them he stands out
  16. Heyo! Welcome to AF, always neat to see a fresh face! It's kinda interesting seeing a brand new member with slightly older tastes in anime (Death Note, Lucky Star, etc.), how much do you warch newer anime vs. older stuff?

  17. Damn, you're on a marathon the last day or so lol
  18. Hey man, don't feel obligated to do something that you mean to do purely for enjoyment. Whichever place is more fun for you to be on, go for it. It's your free time, you should get everything you can out of it. And really, it's not impossible to just balance the two out if you have to, but if you don't want to play that balancing game then just don't do it. Even hobbies or interests feel like work if you treat them like work, and it sucks sucks SUCKS when you turn everything you enjoy into a form of work or an obligation.
  19. Nothing to add, just a Black Lagoon appreciation post. I actually went a few years not realizing the manga continues past where Season 3 ends, which is a massive relief because the ending to the anime WHILE GOOD, felt like it didn't wrap up enough for the characters arcs. You finish the manga? I'm only a couple chapters past the end of the anime.
  20. @efaardvark Fuckin' yikes, feels bad man. I'm glad you can at least stay home now, but you really got put through it. I hope whenever we finally come out the other side of this, we end up recognizing everyone that kept working through the pandemic, to say you got the raw end of this deal doesn't even come close.
  21. Yooooo that Lavender Town stuff was so spooky when I first found out about it! Pokémon Ghost Black is my favorite creepypasta period
  22. Currently taking turns getting pissed off at every Sonic game for some reason. Breezed through Sonic Heroes until I got to the rail section of Final Fortress that DOESN'T FUCKING WORK! Try to switch rails and he just bugs out and flies off into the sunset. Then I went to Sonic 2, just enjoying the hell out of it. But sure enough I got to that boss fight on Eggman's ship with the 3 spinning platforms w/spikes and just got my ass beat. Sonic just handles too poorly in tight spaces, it's easily one of my least favorite bosses in the whole series. Overall, Heroes is an absolute gem (even if partially completely broken) and Sonic 2 is incredibly satisfying, if maybe too hard in the closing stages.
  23. That's the one positive of COVID that I hoped more people would appreciate: with so many people off work for months at a time, all those people have more time to focus on what's important to them in their own lives. I hope what we learn on that front gets put to good use when COVID is finally gone for good, we all could use more time for personal pursuits in our daily lives. Life in too many places revolves around work instead of our pursuit of happiness.
  24. Is it bad if I say I've thought about that a lot? I definitely would, but that's not the only kind of person I'd be interested in. I think you would date people like yourself if you're seeking proof or validation of the kind of person you are, and you would date someone with qualities you lack if you KNOW you're unsatisfied with yourself and want to be better. Neither is bad, just depends what you want more.
  25. That's awesome man! I'm glad to know you've been able to get so much out of anime for so long! It almost seems like a skill, just being able to appeciate the medium that much. I could definitely stand to learn a bit from you about that lol
