Use Bullguard. They have good deals at the end of the year and you can have it on multiple devices. I know money is hard as a student, but it's a good investment. 

@platy

Even an offer now,

But I will check it out, I can even get 21%(Dutch tax) off the price.

But would need to discuss that at home...

But I use

AVAST (FREE)

and Malware 

And once in a while I go to a IT forum to clean out all shit. 

If I find a difficult get rid of virus or malware I always visit them. 

https://www.hijackthis.nl/

Forum is fully in Dutch, but I'm sure the people there do know English. 

Can give an helping hand if some want to try it out, since there are a few things you have to do first. 

But even with paid virus software,

always watch out what you download and which websites you will visit.

@Zeus could you put that in non-American terms?

Congrats! Make sure to rest and get your mental/emotional/physical energy back. Enjoy the outdoors, your family and friends and some good food! 

@platy retirement accts

@Zeus Luckily for those in the UK, we don’t start paying back student loans until we’re earning just under £26,000. Even then, you only pay a percentage based on your yearly salary, and if it’s not paid of by time you turn 50, the debt is written off!

@Peace Heavy mk II Thank you!!

@platy Thank you! I’m gonna spend a few months resting now before looking for full time work, but for now I’m just gonna focus on enjoying my last few months of freedom before the real world takes hold xD 

Buy a live DVD from Kiryu

@IGM_Oficial I’ve never listened to Kiryu! Any recommendations?

Yes, the newest music

@JRD Thank you very much, interestingly enough my GP said she wouldn’t give me medication, which I appreciate, but then she said I was only 21 so shouldn’t be feeling this way which I didn’t think was professional! I hope you’re okay and that you manage to keep a healthy balance with your mental health! 

@yomii Thank you very much, it’s appreciated! 

No one should feel that way Keep your head and know that you are loved! Talking to anyone interpersonal; someone you're very comfortable with, can help tons. It may seem corny, but having someone who is there to listen to you matters the most.

And thank you❤️ 

@JRD Thank you so much I really appreciate that! And I know exactly what you mean, having my friends around me has helped so much! The support has helped a lot 

Damn, need to get that song on iTunes, for some reason i don't have it 🤔

Cuartet for life 🎵

It's on their best of album, Photograph. A lossless rip exists here on MH. 

@AimiGen7 gonna download that best of album, was getting bored of my usual music 

@yomii The most difficult part atm is that we’re still considering getting back together and I hate not knowing what the outcome will be. And I’m sorry to hear about your eating disorder, I hope that you’re well and in good health!  And that sounds like something I’d do tbh I’m no stranger to doing questionable things to my hair, but pink hair is the best hair!! XD My smiley piercing is a little bit sore, my nipple piercing is fine it just has it’s sore moments when I’ve caught it! 

ohhh that must be tiring mentally. whatever you decide i hope the outcome will be the most positive for you! thank you, i'm ok now~ omg isn't it like really painful...i like how nipple piercing looks but just thinking of such things makes me feel very uncomfortable ww kudos to you for being so brave!

@yomii It’s not really tiring, I’m just trying to be patient for the outcome! Thank you! And I’m so glad that you’re okay now! Eating disorders are scary and no one deserves to live through that kind of pain, proud of you! The nipple piercing was my most painful piercing I’ve had done, and even then it wasn’t THAT bad, it definitely made me wince when the needle went through, other than that it was fine! Thank you! XD 

you might wanna try Facade over return for Snorlax as there's a chance it might get burned. try giving Mence the Lum Berry and Koko the Life Orb. you could play around defensive sets for both Vaporeon and T-tar as they're both quite bulky in SpDef and see which one works best. good luck on the tournament!

@saishuu Facade Snorlax is interesting! Would it get STAB and boosted from stat boosts? I might do Lum berry Mence and Life orb Koko as it seems like a sensible idea! I was thinking having Vaporeon hold leftovers, and Tyranitar hold Assault Vest Thank you! And thank you for the advice! 

it does get STAB from Facade! sure it's weaker, but it helps when you're aflicted by status. you're welcome, btw!

Glad to hear it worked out. 

Congrats!

Congrats! 

@suji @Ozileras10 @colorfuljinsei @monkeybanana4 @YuyoDrift @platy Thank you all so much! ❤️ 

Hey, wtf, Yoshiatsu is a REALLY good vocalist. Of course he isn't technically perfect, but 1) he has a very genuine and recognizable voice, 2) he does really expressive arrangements, all along along with his performance, and 3) at least he does hit the notes. Considering he accomplishes these three items into a scene full of shit self proclaimed "vocalists"... it's like finding water in the desert lol

@saiko have you watched/listened to their latest live DVD... ?

I'm a fan of Yoshiatsu's voice in the studio. His live performance in that dvd was appalling for 95% of it and since I'm not in JP to go see them live myself, my faith has been crushed. 

Oh, didn't watched it. Gonna try it... but I don't want to have my faith crushed too...

@TheZigzagoon Cool! I play with Marth as well. He wasn't the first character I used, but when I discovered him, I really liked him. So he's always been a favorite of mine. I was really sad when his moves got downgraded in later games, though. Besides Marth, I also play with Pikachu and Peach. 

That is interesting because I also have friends who spend more time playing Brawl (or the 3DS/Wii U version) rather than Melee. Some of them play casually and others play competitively. It's a weird mixed bag. But I think that's a nice aspect of the Smash community. You can met all kinds of neat people who love the same game. It's nice to hear Smash Ultimate is returning to the Melee roots. I'll need to save up some money to buy it since it sounds like a great game. Have you found characters you like to use in Smash Ultimate yet?

I feel you there. There's a lot of techniques to learn and master, but I think that's half the fun. One technique I remember trying to master was Marth's Down A move (in the air). Finding the sweet spot to quickly finish opponents was challenging, but when I pulled it off, it felt very rewarding. I did play competitively for a bit (sadly, not good enough to play in any tournaments, though, lol). Unfortunately, these days I don't really have time to  You should totally join a local tournament when you feel confident enough to test out your skills  

@monkeybanana4 I’m the same, I think Sheik was my first choice until I used Marth just because I found Marth easier to use. Peach is fun to use too!

I really liked the 3DS version it was really fun and nice to have as a portable game, and I couldn’t get a Wii U at the time for the Wii U version, my fiancée and I used to play the 3DS version with each other a lot, and we’ll still bring Brawl out every once in a while! The best thing about Smash is every game is timeless. The characters I’m using in Ultimate atm are Marth, Lucina, Sonic, Little Mac, Fox, Falco and Ganondorf. Ganondorf is looking to be a favourite as they gave him a speed boost

I’m more than willing to sit and learn techniques for hours, I find it fun! I graduate from university in March and have graduation in July so I may have time after March to make a start! One thing I’ve always been pretty good at is spiking opponents, there’s no better feeling than jumping off the edge with your opponent and down A them in to the void xD If I get good enough I’ll check out a tournament or two, if there is any local to me xD 

@TheZigzagoon Same here! I find Marth is quite nimble and has great range with his sword in Melee. Yes, I love doing aerial combos with Peach since she can float in the air xD She has that fun attack where she can throw vegetables. I used to love spamming it when playing with friends for fun, lol.

I agree. The Smash series is a timeless game and can be played by anyone. It's simple to pick up, but takes time to master. I think that's the beauty of it. You can be any at level and enjoy the game. I was so excited when I first heard it would be released on the 3DS. I could finally bring it anywhere and not have to worry about bringing a ton of wires to play with friends xD It had lag, but it was convenient to play on the go.

Good to hear about Ganondorf! He was such a cool character to use in Melee. It seems the speed of the game is considerably fast in Smash Ultimate - really reminds me a lot like Melee. How do you feel about Lucina? Some people criticize that she is somewhat of a Marth clone despite some subtle differences. On a side note, I like how they incorporated all the different stages in Smash Ultimate. Fountain of Dreams looks really beautiful in Ultimate. Do you have any favorite stages?

That's good to hear! (Good luck with school  And with Smash as well xD) It does require lots of time, but I agree with you. I think it's super fun to spend that time learning and perfecting techniques. Haha, same here! It's such an evil tactic especially when your opponent is trying to save themselves, but you crush all hopes with those spike moves. Even worse when they are at a low percentage, lol. I remember trying to learn combos with the grab move since you can pull off some pretty neat combos with that move. Just curious, but how do you practice your techniques? (i.e. training regiment and the sort)

Sort of off-topic, but what kind of other video games do you play besides Smash?

According to their visunavi page, it's pronounced "rei ten ichi gram no gosan".

I think their name is a pun as well, since their twitter handles say "0153" or "rei ichi go san".

My friend called them nought point one gram and I never go a day without making fun of him for it looool Just call them gosan 

@Gesu OOF that’s punny! XD 

@platy Glad I’m not the only one to make the error XD 

@platy Omg that is the best description I've heard XD What was he like live in terms of attitude?

He was high energy, the fans really act like they are worshipping a god. At the start he told the audience to get on their knees and move their arms up and down like he was a holy artefact lol I just stood there like 'nope' and during the break, before another band came on stage, he hogged the mic and talked for about half an hour while the girls giggled at whatever he was saying. They're not bad live, I just dislike the atmosphere and him. 

@platy Holy shit! That's such a dick move, no way I'd get on my knees and act like I'm praying to him! XD Actually love this tea so thank you! XD 

Sho is great live.

I wish he'd stop smoking, though. 

There are a lot of live videos uploaded by fans on YouTube and Twitter if you want to check those out. 

@Duwang Same because it won’t do his voice any good in the long run! And I checked a few out last night it’s just a shame the audio quality isn’t great on any of them 

To my beat family, excessive drinking is only a good idea at the time, the morning however is the worst 

Thanks God I don't drink

@IGM_Oficial Wish I didn’t but I love it too much! XD 

Blur were my dad's favourite band! He got me into them when I was about seven and I loved them, but I always got really sad watching the Coffee And TV music video because of those tragic milk cartons ;-;

@Gesu Blur released some good stuff! I don’t know if you’ve listened to their album ‘Modern Life Is Rubbish’ but it’s their best imo! And the poor milk carton that got killed always got me as well! I love that song tho! XD 

@TheZigzagoon I actually first came across their American Idiot release first since many of the songs (like Boulevard of Broken Dreams and Wake Me Up When September Ends) were constantly being played on the radio. But I agree! Their 90s stuff were amazing gems.

Explain your opinion please.

No.

@Yuri@Bear Let's all be nice now!

having the same problem with CDjapan so i feel you...

i got a CD pre-ordered which was released on 30.05.2018 and only because of the warehouse moving it is still not "in stock" although it should definitely be since i never got an email saying it takes additional time etc... so i'm fucked as well but what can you do...

@VkBrutaliaN I think this whole ordeal has made me lose faith in CDJapan, not because of the delays, but because of their lack of communication and reassurance that they will ship orders. Their reply to my email was hardly apologetic either, it was just a very matter of fact email with information that they'd already provided on their website.

yea exactly this: "Their reply to my email was hardly apologetic either" when i wrote them on monday... but i said to myself if the CD i ordered still isn't in shipping process the upcoming monday I'll write them again but i still hope for the best... and except of the "mamireta" incident i never got any problem with them... 

and luckily being a Vk fan for about 10 years learned me one thing: PATIENCE! like i remember in the first years i was so pissed when i had to wait for an order to arrive longer then 4 days (i always ship via EMS) and nowadays i am just like well it sucks but whatever... XD

you won't believe how often EMS shipping take like 4-8 days even to arrive in my country... so i really learned just to deal with it in terms of waiting longer than i actually should.

@Mihi @-NOVA- it's just a vocal cover, and it will most likely be recorded. The song will be missing huge chunks I guess but oooooh welllllll XD 

Good Luck Thats really cool !!! 

@-NOVA- Thank you! 

@monkeybanana4 @reminiscing2004 Thanks for your help! I live in Leeds, UK and I get in to clubs up here with my out of date passport, just hoping it’s the same in London! XD 

Highly unlikely, but to be safe bring it and then put it in the cloakroom. Whether it's out of date or not you don't wanna lose it

@platyThank you! I’ll make sure to do that, I was gonna wear a hoodie with zip up pockets to carry all my shit but idk

what about zafina players 0w0

I remember Tekken 6 being plagued with a bunch of Zafina players, it was an annoying time.

Tekken 7 is 90% Akuma, Law and Alisa noobs, followed by a small portion of people who don't know how to use Kazuya properly.

I, for one, main Asuka and Bob because it's nice to see people rage quit after one battle

that's what i never got about fighting games tbh

the rosters nowadays are HUGE but play online & everyone's using the same 2-3 ppl. like isn't that boring?? 

It does get boring very fast, I've found myself switching between Tekken 7 and Fortnite every few hours because Tekken 7 isn't a game I can sit and play all day on my days off, because the online ranked scene is repetitive af 

Miztavla is a pretty good band, I'll agree.

@Takadanobabaalien I've not listened to Virge, any recommendations?

everything they've released is great, but this pv is amazing

the release by the same name is really cool! you should totally check it out 

@violetchain That sucks, pretty decent VK vocalist minus his screams, other than that he was solid!

Well, the entire Visual Kei scene knows to not work with him, so he probably went non-Vkei in order to work with people who have no idea who he is lol. 

@AimiGen7 That’s very true, I remember he was a diva in Avanchick, and if the rumours are true, just a tad bit criminal

@lichtlune It is but it’s scary to join the real world away from my crappy part time retail job! 😂 

Hey i could use a crappy retail job right now. I can't find anything. lol 

@lichtlune Ahhhh shit sorry to hear that man! Stay positive there’s something out there for everyone!

@platy that was Nightmare, even though he started a solo project about a month after the hiatus

Vocal chords preservation? Hazuki from lynch. uses one. 

vAPInG

@Elazmus Thank you so much that’s the one! I’ve been looking for literally YEARS for what this game was!

So happy to help! I always wanted to play that one, I should make this an excuse to do so now lol..
