I'll have you know that I haven't watched an anime since I was an anime back in the day. If anything, you need to reccomend me an anime to watch.

If you were an anime, then it goes without saying that you know anime better than I. But I'll bite (even though you have a long track record of hating everything I suggest). Shinsekai Yori seems like something you'd like. True Tears is probably my all-time fav. Oregairu or w/e is interesting. Uchoten Kazoku surprised me by being good. I really dunno what you like (other than Pokemon), so I'm just guessing.

Oh, and it's a visual novel, not an anime, but since you do literature or w/e, you should read Umineko. Doubt you see this in time, but it's on sale on Steam rn (...but you CAN get it for free). Unless you hate mysteries, since it takes a lot of direction from "And Then There Were None". But there's also weeb ****, so it's hard to recommend it to people who read normal books, even though it's basically what it is.

I can't remember the last time I watched an actual episode, but a guy on another board I frequent seemingly has every (old) episode memorized, and always references them with Frinkiac images or YT clips, so I still see it a lot. The newest episode I've seen had Lady Gaga in it, and it was awful and stupid. Do you have any newer cartoons you like? Because I do miss good Simpsons. PS - Sorry this reply took forever!

It doesn’t really surprise me to hear that some people know basically every old episode by heart since I’m still very familiar with various quotes/scenes myself and rewatch them from time to time. Yeah I’ve heard a lot of negative reception towards that Lady Gaga episode. There was also a recent episode I watched involving Canadians that gained some controversy. I miss the old Family Guy as well.

A couple cartoons I follow consistently are Steven Universe and the Tangled TV series. Some shows on Netflix I saw and liked were Disenchantment (understandably, as a Simpsons fan), Voltron, and The Dragon Prince.

I don’t mind late replies so that’s fine!

Man, I had so much trouble finding this that I was almost convinced that I imagined the whole thing:

It's a little vague, so it might just be a small side story like were released before, but I took it to mean a 'scenario' equivalent to other EPs.

I'm trying to find time to re-read it, too! I read the manga not long ago, and it helped me sort out some things, but it doesn't hold a candle to the VN. I want to re-read the whole thing to see if my theory has any holes in it (because it's so different from what seems to be accepted among the fanbase -- the big fubar to me is people thinking Bern/Lambda are real witches).

Is he into anime/video game stuff, anyway? I'd compare VNs most to books, but it's so hard to recommend them if they're resistant to that stuff. I actually saw that there's going to be a Kickstarter to make a full English dub of the VN, which I think would improve its accessibility a lot. Godspeed on making your not-boyfriend a convert!

PS. - I hate 420 character limits.

Hello, BUGworth. /STOP
How are things? /STOP

Tumultuous. /STOP
Pursuing my PhD. /STOP
You? /STOP

A PhD? Over.
What in? Over.
I mostly just work and play games. Over.
I want to buy a condo or something, but the market here's ****ed; is it the same way in Seattle? Over.

I ended up playing Sky on Normal, the combat is slightly different and I found it more challenging. I’d also say hold the Alt key as that activates turbo mode during fights and helps them to flow more easily. You can use it on the overworld too!

And yeah, the pic is the achievement icon for completing Chapter 2 on PC. I used him by far the most, he interested me from the moment I saw him and his character delivered.

Yeah, I feel like I took to the combat in Steel right away (of course, you start with more characters), but Sky is comparatively slow and difficult. Feels like I'm playing it more for the story, so no need to make it harder.

Oh, I didn't even realize it was an official picture -- thought it was fanart. I wonder if III will release on PC? Looking it up, it's PS4-only in Japan.

Sky was rather slow for me at first, but I got used to it by around halfway through the game. I can get that, I played the first Steel game on Easy because I had no idea what the combat would be like and just wanted to see a good story.

It actually is - XSEED asked some fanartists to make the icons for them. III will only release on PC once it’s out over here, the last two were made by XSEED rather than Falcom.

Children, gather 'round. Today I'm going to tell you a story, a story of a magical land known as Ye Olde SPPfe. You see -- oh, crap, it's lagging again. We'll pick this up in 4-5 hours when it loads.

Ha, that was my favorite thing about the change: being able to see everyone who had repped me. It half makes me want to visit each and every single one of their profiles with a thank you message for their exquisite taste. Are you going to keep your poke stoner avatar forever?

Agreed, the char limit is a bit ridiculous. I miss spamming giant 1000 by 1000 pixel photos of people's pages. Remember your giant Ronald Reagan post in GCT? That was great.

Punctuation, too, like "analrapist", when one is both an analyst and a therapist.
Why does everyone want me to change my avatar? It's jealousy, isn't it? But yes, I am.
Hah, I'm surprised you remembered that. I wasn't expecting it to be so big, but it was a fitting symbol of how very American I am!

Well, well, well, it seems the tides have turned. I would mock you more, but I and my 55 likes can't be seen... -associating- with your *scoffs* 48 likes.
