I'm 25, and moved out 2 years ago due to issues with mom.  Up until that point, I was going to college full time, working part time, and paying rent.  After I moved out, I skipped the whole renting process, and just went for buying a house.  In 3 years, I should have about a third of the original listing price paid off, so looking forward to that. ^^  Anyway, I would say that overall though that moving out really was necessary, and has not only improved my quality of life, but my relationship with mom as well.

@efaardvark Just thought it was interesting that there was very similar pricing over where I work near DC for renting or buying a condo.

I usually prefer either in depth strategy games and jrpgs.  Personal favorites include: Persona 5, Trails of Cold Steel Series, and Utawarerumono Mask Series.  Very rarely play online games, but a few of them are Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion, Age of Empires II, and 100% Orange Juice.  Very rarely will I pick PC over console unless the game was made with the PC in mind and isn't just a port.

Thanks I was useing  nuzlock as a term for  a pokemom challenge ,but it good to know the official rules too so thank you .:)

Yep, no problem ^^  Also, to answer your original question, I think anything with more balanced stats like Arcanine would help out a lot.  Don't remember how accessible it was in Silver though.

I think you make your own rules. Like only one Staryu. Or Fainted pokemon are dead pokemon. You could even do a "only use pokemon with water abilities (like misty or a gym leader). The rules you make are just supposed to make the game harder to play.

Pretty sure this is actually just a permadeath run, check out this page: https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Nuzlocke_Challenge

Only capturing the first Pokemon in an area is listed as one of the mandatory rules for a Nuzlocke.

Planning on picking up these titles over at Sentai:

Girls und Panzer der Film
Princess Principal Complete Collection
No Game, No Life Zero
Chivalry of a Failed Knight Complete Collection

Wanted to pick up K-On Season 2 Collection 2 as well, but that isn't even on back order for some reason.

Pretty sure you don't look for specific Pokemon in a Nuzlocke challenge, as you are only able to catch the first Pokemon in each area.

Couldn't get it on any less than two screenshots. xP  I typically only go for VNs nowadays, and almost always play offline so that playtime/last played is not current at all (most of the reason I play offline is actually the steam client chat being terrible than actually caring what my status is.  The web version of chat is way better imo).  Anything listed under Fun Games or VNs to Replay I would highly recommend.

I honestly really like how you go about this Ryuji it seems to be a really good system. It ensures you see many new things while enjoying what you have seen plenty. 

I think being mistaken for Ryuji is a first xP  But yeah, glad you like my system. ^^

Being on someone's top list for avatars makes me really happy ^^

Hm... I'd probably say @xWickedNekox has always had some of the best avatars (here and another site).  Her current is no exception.

I usually have to be in a mood for rewatching shows in general, and typically comes around when there is a lack of good airing stuff, or not completely invested in a video game.  There really isn't a method of how I rewatch stuff, but anything that listed higher than an 80 on my list usually gets a rewatch eventually as well as anything with magic and/or isekai.  Currently rewatching Gate, Outbreak Company, and K-On.  Really wanted to start rewatching Steins;Gate, but Steins;Gate Elite is coming up and looks amazing (plus portable if on Switch), so can't really decide if rewatching now would hurt the experience or not.

Goblin Slayer episode 4.  I keep up with the manga for this as well, and have to say that I really feel like before they start a party that the series in both forms tries to be way over the top (especially in the anime adaption).  Guess they probably want to scare people off to not try and pretend to be a series it's not, as sometimes it does reach near that level of intensity every now and then.  I do find it rather amusing that the series is able to get away with not referring to much of anyone by name, but just nicknames each of the cast has for each other.

Best Girl:

Will be sticking with Crunchy, and maybe even going as far to get VRV when HiDive joins.  Joining VRV was a good move by HiDive as they have been bombarded by people to make apps for like 2 years now, and VRV has an app for a lot of the platforms requested.  I feel like this is really bad for Funimation, as while they do have Sony backing them, even Amazon wasn't able to make a dent in the market really, plus HiDive has their deal with Sentai.  I do feel like this was a good deal for Crunchyroll's parent company as well as the demand for more subs is much higher than dubs, and their deal with Funimation really wasn't providing much on that end.

What shows do you plan on watching this Fall 2018 season?  Depending on what Crunchyroll picks up, I'll be watching most of these:

Following two are based on manga I really like.  Really worried about the first one though based on the director and studio.

https://myanimelist.net/anime/37430/Tensei_shitara_Slime_Datta_Ken

https://myanimelist.net/anime/37349/Goblin_Slayer

This one has the chief director of Steins;Gate, and has time traveling, so have pretty high expectations.

https://myanimelist.net/anime/35835/RErideD__Tokigoe_no_Derrida

Would be lacking a cute girls doing cute things show without this one.

https://myanimelist.net/anime/37579/Tonari_no_Kyuuketsuki-san

Will probably drop this considering the director, but hoping the synopsis makes up for it.

https://myanimelist.net/anime/37716/Beelzebub-jou_no_Okinimesu_mama

Added this one because of time traveling.  As it is tagged romance, I hope that part of it waits until later into the show, as there is much to explore just with the concept alone (if it turns out they completely ignore time traveling, and just focus on the romance from episode 2 on, will probably drop).

https://myanimelist.net/anime/37497/Irozuku_Sekai_no_Ashita_kara

Very first anime was SAO, almost feel obligated to continue it.

https://myanimelist.net/anime/36474/Sword_Art_Online__Alicization

Just for the image alone, dog girl easily xP  Any other reasoning for picking her you already listed.

..that's brutal, but understandable, i probably cant do this, as i have a hard time leaving things behind, even selling my console to my friend was pretty heart brokening to me, and i didn't use it at all after completing mary skelter/p4g

Eventually, I had to do it this way.  I used to try and keep all my hobbies, but I was going insane because I didn't have the time for all of them, and by forcing certain ones to stay, it took away from the overall enjoyment by quite a bit.

Typically like tactical games, VNs, anime, manga, and finding cute characters on pinterest/pixiv.  I work full time, and have an hour drive one way, but I don't really do anything special when it comes to time management.  I simply spend time on whatever comes to mind and go with that.  If that means that certain hobbies get less attention then so be it, not going to force myself to do a hobby more than what I feel like.  Also, don't really feel like I'm sacrificing any hobbies this way, if they naturally fade out like that then they simply don't have a place in my life anymore.

Stuff I want to be officially translated.  Some of these are in the works, while others have potential to come over as part of the series has been translated.

https://vndb.org/v232 - Brighter than Dawning Blue

https://vndb.org/v17388 - Tayutama 2 -You're the Only One-

https://vndb.org/v3 - Utawarerumono (the new remake version).... I really need this one like now xP

Nice, glad to see light novels getting some visibility. I actually like isekai stuff so I'll keep this in mind when I'm looking for another series to read.

Have you tried giving The Faraway Paladin a read? It's much different in tone from the looks of this one, but it's one of the better isekai novels out there.

I have not read that one yet, still fairly new to LNs in general.  Added it to my wish list though ^^

And yeah, I'm quite the fan of isekai as well.  I feel like even if the show isn't 'good' per se, I usually find most of them at least entertaining (except for Smartphone.... even the Ragnarok isekai that is airing now is better than that)

I love piercings also along with tattoos. Personally, all of mine have memories attached to them and I wouldn't trade them for anything. ^^ Anyway, rant over. Thanks again for your thoughts! 

Just thought I'd chime in and mention that I think that is the best way to get one is having it tied to memories.  That way it can be a part of you in more ways than one, and I think that is really cool ^^

This was really interesting to read! Hahah, your coworker must have been really surprised! ^^ Kind of neat that you are surrounded by people with tattoos tho. I can't say I am in the same environment which made me curious as to what others thought about this topic. 

T^T Do you also feel pain when someone stubs their toe or gets a paper cut? I cringe when I see that because I personally can imagine the pain associated with those (also because I hate paper cuts... they really hurt). Sorry, know you said you wouldn't go into it, but I am just curious because I can relate with empathy pain, but not necessarily piercing pain

Yeah, she was!  She was just casually talking about getting another tattoo one day, and I was like, 'wait, you have a tattoo?'.  It's a butterfly one on the inside of her arm.  Not sure how I missed it really xP  Sorry to hear about your environment For certain things, I've kinda had to learn to only care so much about what other people care as negative.  If it doesn't do any harm to them, then it's not even fair to let them control what or how you are just based on their perception of something.

Yeah, just about any kind of empathy pain including those you listed applies to me as well.  I cringe when I see stuff like that, but not only that, if it stays stuck in my memory, I'll likely cringe every time I remember it.

Really great LN I've been reading recently where the MC gets reborn 100 years later where several historical events have changed from the 1900s onwards.  Simple things that Kouki does are always misunderstood by those around him which leads to a lot of great comedy.  One of the things that really makes this one shine though is having events rewritten in someone else's perspective, so you can see what the others really think, and not just the MC's misguided view of what others around him thinks.

Other than No Game No Life, I don't really think I've read an LN before that has caught my attention enough to actually get me motivated to finish it.

@ArchieKun Which Da Capo is your favorite?

What MCs have you enjoyed the most in either anime or manga?

As you are getting into RTS games, I'd highly suggest this one: https://store.steampowered.com/app/204880/Sins_of_a_Solar_Empire_Rebellion/

Hope you enjoy your time here ^^

Not much to say here as I have yet to finish other than Momiji is best girl.  Went out of my way to buy the steam profile background for her.  If you need incentive to play the game, just look below. xP

One thing I really like about this VN is that characters will actually change perspective and face the person they are talking to along with having facial expressions and non static sprites.

Probably will never get either.  Tattoos don't really change my opinion at all.  I've had several coworkers over the years that have had plenty of them, so I guess I'm just used to it?  Only thing I don't like about Tattoos is when you can't see their original skin anymore.  Other than that, I probably won't really even take notice.  Had a coworker have to point out that she even had a tattoo after like 5 weeks of working next to her.

Piercings look painful, and my mind generates 'pain' in a place similar to the person I saw having a piercing (this isn't limited to just piercings, but for the sake of the conversation, I won't go into what else).  I don't look down on it, but for my own well being, I really can't typically be around people with piercings for extended periods of time.

No clue about percentages, but I always get Kuudere on every test I've taken.

Just got a new job recently in which I check online for usage of brands and fraud for companies.  This is not what I originally intended to do with having a degree in Accounting, but I don't mind that I've ended up here.  Was doing background screening for two and a half years before this though.  So glad I'm out of that.
