NTNonnita, but how did you go about getting off social media? I only have Twitter, and I can’t get off. I use it for news and articles and to keep up with things. Quitting the internet is almost impossibly hard. So much of our lives have become turned inside out, so that the real is escape from the virtual, instead vice versa. Back in the day they told you to play video games to relax; now they tell you to go outside and touch grass. Well I’ve never touched grass, not in years.

>>180102
i use this website to impose limits on myself: https://freedom.to/downloads

if you have a problem with oversharing every single thing that happens to you on social media, i suggest starting a diary to get your thoughts out of your head! and maybe you can get your news somewhere else? oldschool newspapers or actually going on a newspaper's website are good alternatives to twitter.

>>180102
Have you tried deactivating your account, even just for a few weeks? You may find you’re much less interested in it by the time those weeks are up. Sometimes going cold Turkey really is the way to go.

>>180113
I don’t share anything, actually. I have one of those zero follower locked accounts that I use as a way to mark interesting articles, news, links, thoughts, writings, and learning resources. I find most of the stuff I’m interested in from like-minded accounts on there, plus it helps with self-learning/finding out about events/life hacks/finance/money management. Even small things like cool local places to check out. It’s a substitute for a network that I don’t have irl; I don’t have friends who share my interests. I don’t have Instagram (never did! So I never got hooked on it), and I don’t find TikTok that fun. Facebook I’m actually trying to use more because of how I can find out about local events/local places; again, I don’t have a non-virtual way of accessing certain info. For example I was trying to find a place to learn the cello, and all the known places didn’t click (weird instructors). So I made a Facebook account, stalked a harpist, clicked on a profile of a friend, then clicked on a profile on a friend of a friend who happens to be a well-known guitarist, and I find out he has a really cool place where you can learn the cello with a known local musician. Why do I have to actively stalk someone’s profile to find a nice place to learn music? I don’t know. When the internet threw away our analog lives and become the centrepiece we laid the traditional knowledge-accessing ways to rest, and now there are a lot of people who have never known then or forgotten them.

I will check the website, though. Thanks.

>>180128
I tried that. I go cold turkey, and when I get back, I find myself worse. Even when I deactivate my account, I still check my favourite accounts for interesting articles or posts to read. I remember before I got a phone at 16/17 it wasn’t this bad. I had a computer and I spent most of my time online, but I wrote or read for hours. Now I can read—I actually read a 800 page book recently—but I have to actively put effort into it. I wish I could do other stuff, though.

Also, my question is: let’s say all of us go cold turkey for a month. What do we do in that time? The internet has stretched into its own growth at this point and for a lot of us it’s hard to tell where we begin and where it ends. Reading, maybe. Writing. Playing the celloPost too long.

A lot of other anons have great ideas, so I hope this isn't overwhelming, but I also recommend Forest app on your cellphone. It's a focus timer that plants a cute tree as long as you don't open other apps. It's actually saving my butt in grad school, since I'm using it to study. Try focusing for 5 or 10 minutes and i think you can work your way up.

>>180051
samefag but I think the only way asirpa and sugimoto could possibly wind up together is in some sort of time skip scenario where they part ways at the end, do what they each have to do, and then meet again years later. I'm not willing to write that off as a possibility bc japanese fans tend to love that sort of thing and a lot of the japanese fandom does ship sugi/asirpa in some way so I feel like this outcome could be a happy medium.

>>180051
I'm the comment above yours and the fact that Ogata gets his ass kicked is also equal parts hilarious and equal parts hot for me kek I hope Noda keeps putting blood on Ogata's face, I love seeing him getting his ass handled to him

>>180019
Nah, I think it’s still good. Almost every single introduced character or element is relevant to the story and overall it’s realistic and good how morally grey everything is written. I see where you’re coming from regarding the relationship between Sugimoto and Asirpa tho, as the shitty hero x girl trope is sadly so popular and widespread in media that we get kind of conditioned to expect stuff like that to be intended by the authors, even if that may not be the case. I’ve learnt to have such concerns for many series as well and this one wasn’t an exception. You might be interested in the interview the author recently gave regarding their relationship, which was very relieving to read because imo he made it pretty clear that this is not his intention behind writing them this way.
pic loosely related, whoever made it I love this

Ogata is popular because he’s a cat and a well written character who can still be interpreted in different ways, but is also practically insane. I totally get how you come to hate him but I just can’t stop to love how delusional he is with his bullshit. To that other anon >>180049 I just can’t get over how in a rare moment of self reflection he asked Usami for advice and gladly took it, this cracked me up, one of my fave pages this was so hysterical with that poor war prisoner in the background lmao
In general gk offers a rich display of mental illness and different ways of dealing with things as well as relationships and other dynamics which makes it and it’s cast very interesting imo. I think it is a story with many layers and actually an example of a large cast done pretty well. Love all the nature, cooking and History lore too so far I‘ve been only enjoying it, but to each their own I guess

>>180019
I have nothing to add that the anons above haven’t said, but you sound like you’re really fun at parties

>>180053
It’s such a running gag at this point, I love it too. I mean he sure is a tragic character but also hilarious at the same time. To be honest his new glass eye is so fucking funny, pic related I really dig Nodas humor with this.
raw spoiler: I wonder what happens with him and Tsurumi next chapter, will he get slapped in close combat again? What’s his deal Nodaaaa also a bear joining the fight oh my god

Does anyone know of any similar songs or artist?

Sadly the artist of this isn't known and it's not listed in the game either

Listening to this song and thinking of the hot robot hunk I posted in the horny thread. We could walk together in the dust covered ruins of the future, in a world that is neither organic nor mechanic but alas tfw no robot bf

I'm obsessed with this album at the moment, it's so nostalgic and warm and melancholic. It's a fairly long album but u don't get bored because there's so much variation with the jazz, shoegaze, and dnb influenced tracks. definitely check it out if u have the chance. I've got vidrel and punksong on repeat.

>>172355
late reply but I love the pet shop boys, I've got such a soft spot for 80s synth pop. my guilty pleasure is a-ha (vidrel). scoundrel days is one of my favourite pop albums of all time.

>>180115
I'm sorry your husbando is cucking you with his adopted brother anon but no need to shitpost in the thread

>>180124
nah no one with a job or uni would be emotionally invested in this bullshit enough to post >>180115, buddy. don't project your neetdom onto us. show some respect to the tax payers keeping your wifi on and take ya meds.

I'm always left wondering if it's a demented yume mad about her husband being called gay or a genuinely homophobic moid/pickme who loses his mind when girls like something he finds disgusting because the line is so blurred.

my boomer brain still finds it's difficult to separate vtubers from celebrities (even with avatar and public persona). So finding ships of vtubers (and porns of them) really come off weird to me. Am I just too normie.

I don't understand the appeal of vtubers

>>180110
No, it's the opposite. Only normies care about real people larping as anime characters. Probably makes it easier for them to relate.

>>180114
They get to look at the waifu of their dreams doing soyboi faces and “omg this anime character is talking to me when I send a message for 1 dollar!”

>>180067
We get it anon. You like an old man with the size of Shayna’s nose

>>180079
post your husbando or fuck off

Anonymous now No. 180081
I’m a sucker for guys who pretend to be tough and cool but breakdown and lose confidence by the sight of the one they love. He’s the most dateable realistic choice to date on this game. Though Kageyuki’s route was probably the most intense

>>180079
Hey anon is okay, your husbando is cool too you don't have to bully other nonnas

>>180082
What is this from, he is cute

>>177114
They always have solar energy, too, and batteries, etc. It's just rich kids larping as hobos.

Found this guy recently from his "tent in a tent" video and for whatever fucking reason I started to really enjoy watching his videos, especially his stealth camping videos but even just his regular camping videos when I want to watch this dude camp and not feel a sense of anxiety about him possibly getting caught.

I have no idea why I like his videos so much. I follow some other camping channels that have nice production value and feel very aesthetic (lots of nice serene b-rolls) but I haven't been able to feel as consistently engaged and wanting to watch more of their videos as much as his. I typically like frilled up shit, but his videos and content are very no frills. It's always the same routine with his videos too. He gets to where he's camping, sets up, drinks a beer or other drink (calls it step two), makes dinner, sleeps, packs up and leaves.

>>177172
he's where i want to be tbh

>>177009
omg anon thank you for linking these channels. been a big fan of dancing bacons for a while (used to get really high with friends and watch his videos for hours) but i love the Tokyohare channel already

Anything Priya Krishna on Youtube. She was on Bon Appetit but seems to be doing vids on NTY channels now. She's cute and personable to me

>>180028
God I hope you're right, I'd feel so vindicated. I tried watching this and just ended up feeling disgusted. Really came across like the personality of a 4chan scrote transferred into a young girl's body in the attempt to make them seem more palatable. Would make so much sense.

>>179567
My friend is obsessed with this one, but I'm starting to think she developed terminal pick-me/moid taste over the years.

Antonio too he's so cute, i would die for him

He was my favorite character from the movie as well. He had the coolest power. Plus he was super sassy.

It's so painful watching the characters with the most potential being ignored and being defeated for stupid reasons while Pearl and co. are allowed to be terrible for multiple seasons.

>>122040
This was going to be my first pick but you beat to it. I'll add the reason why I like Kreia is because she actually thinks about the real ramifications of the force and being a force user instead of the "religion" we're told about from day one. That's something I personally relate to; most people choose the ideas that match their beliefs instead of looking at things as they are, then they complain when reality didn't create a messiah to champion their ideals. Also, the idea that the force effected the existence of whole societies on a political level and the force users willingly allowing genocides because their religion told them too opens up a whole room of possibilities that unfortunately Disney is never going to take.

On that note, I think Atris doesn't get as much credit from the KOTOR community. It's true that her crimes in the larger scope of things is truly terrible. However, the blame falls on the Jedi and not her. She was blinded by her code and therefore couldn't see all the possibilities that were in front of her (just like Kreia). Outside of that she's actually very similar to Kreia in terms of the ability to manipulate and her angry outbursts when she sees someone doing something stupid. It's sad that the game wasn't complete because they had a lot more planned for her especially in her relationship to Kreia which would help verify this to the larger fandom.
