SUBLIMINAL

Steam: riot machines Would love more friends.

Three year anniversary with my SO today, part of me wanted a more extravagant romantic evening but in the end it was perfect just to sunbathe together and eat sushi. Gotta stop being so high maintenance and demanding about these sorts of things 'cause it ends up being the simpler things that are most memorable.

Dragon's Dogma on PC, finally! I played the hell out of this on console, hundreds of hours, but the PC version is without a doubt the definitive version.

Red Velvet - Cool Hot Sweet Love

The fact that it can be likened to TF2 makes me want to try it, but the price tag turns me off too.

1. Plastic Tree (if they count... I think so, at least) 2. 夢中夢 (Mutyumu) 3. PLASTICZOOMS 4. Boris 5. 東京事変 (Tokyo Jihen) 6. Coaltar of the Deepers 7. MONKEY MAJIK 8. B'z 9. THENOVEMBERS 10. Lillies and Remains For now.

My graphics card died recently so I had to buy a replacement for it (GeForce GTX 980 Ti) that set me back so much this month I couldn't buy much of anything else except some Game of Thrones shot glasses for my girlfriend's brother's birthday.

*slides into the kpop thread, leans against wall, winks* 'Sup.

Bummer. I haven't listened to them since their first couple of albums and didn't care for later releases but I know they were super popular and well loved! The dorkiest dorks to ever dork in music. Bye, girugamesh.

If you could run The Sims 3 you'd probably be completely fine! It's much better in terms of optimisation. It has a laptop mode too, so even computers several years old can run it. I didn't expect to enjoy it so much, considering all of the criticism it received, but it's become my second favourite in the series after The Sims 2! I love the cartoony artstyle, it lends itself well to the emotion system and it's so colourful and quirky~ That's just my opinion though, a lot of people think very differently.

Recently I've been playing Stardew Valley and The Sims 4 a lot.

When I first posted in this thread, I must have been about 21/22. Maybe. I still have one of the pictures I posted, it was way back on the first page years ago! Grumpy YA in green frog pyjamas. I had green hair for a while after that, thankfully the pictures of it are scarce. I will never dye my hair that colour again. Then red from the ages of 24-26! This was taken on holiday in the Highlands before a pub dinner a year ago so I was, of course, smiling because... alcohol. And currently at 27, I'm blonde and much chunkier (and totally okay with that.) I'm glad I checked on this thread because it prompted to go back and look at how I've changed in appearance in my time at MH! Plus, there's lots more pictures of the beautiful members here to appreciate! I've been missing out!

Not creepy (even if it was, I like the creepy!) Thank you though. You must have even better taste.

My first official welcome! I should have done one of these six years ago! Thank you~ Eek, hopefully you've not read anything too embarrassing! Thank you ever so much! Thank you! Memories of you were one of the biggest reasons to come back! It's been a really long while. Things are so different, but I like it. Very fancy, very fancy. Thank you, thank you.

I don't remember ever doing an introduction here but since I don't expect to be remembered well at all after a lengthy disappearance, I decided now was as fine a time as any. I suppose this is a "I'm back!" announcement too but that seems arrogant. U-um... I'm SUBLIMINAL. Known to friends as Lorena. I joined the forums when I was a newborn baby and I'm twenty-seven now so thanks for raising me well, Monochrome Heaven-senpai. I mean if anyone remembers me, it would probably be because I never shut up about D'espairsRay. I don't really do that anymore omg. I don't listen to visual kei at all anymore, actually, but I have a big, squishy soft spot for old favourites and still keep up with them. Mostly. Aside from once upon a time being the most annoying D'espairsRay fan to ever live, I love(d?) Plastic Tree equally but that wasn't as noticable. These days I still tend to prefer pop, folk and as usual bizarro metal music. Anyway, I had a habit of vanishing every so often due to real life drama even when I was active here but my last disappearance was the longest, I think. It was very necessary though! I learned a lot about myself and grew as a person. I live in Scotland now, instead of England, with my SO and I'm happier and more active than ever! I wanted to check and come back here because well... to put it pathetically plainly, this was the only forum in my internet lifetime that I ever felt comfortable and welcomed at. It was once one of my regular haunts online and I miss that, so... hello, whoever reads this. Hello. Again. tl;dr I was gone for years for personal reasons, I came creeping back.

someone please tell me what Suilen are doing omg

Charli XCX

"As far as I'm concerned, serious gamers play on PC." @relentless As someone who games on the PC, console and handhelds I wouldn't say that being a PC gamer automatically means you're a more serious gamer. There are definitely serious gamers on consoles. Especially when it comes to fighting games. PC sort of reigns supreme in the mmo/moba/strategy department but playing one or the other doesn't necessarily mean you're a better, more serious or more skilled gamer. I sort of wanted to point out that M$'s terms of services states they can change absolutely anything about their service at any time and if you've pressed "I accept" you just have to deal with it. So I mean like Arithmetica said it's possible they could gradually add similar features, and you couldn't exactly complain because you agreed to their terms. Ultimately consoles aren't PCs and never will be PCs so they should stop trying. DRM is the norm on PC but it shouldn't be on consoles, to be honest. For decades people have been trading their games (I remember purchasing most of my SNES and PS1 games from garage sales or second hand stores), sharing with family members, and lounging around playing games on or offline with their friends. That shouldn't have to change, no matter how much M$ want to ~go to the future~

To me, the song is more about being hopelessly in love with someone completely broken to the point where they break you, and potentially drive you to idealise suicide. On another note, hnnngh Diablo Swing Orchestra. @lenji So much goatbed! Your playlist seems really energetic judging by some of those songs! 1. After School – 뱅! 2. The Gathering - We Just Stopped Breathing 3. 0.8秒と衝撃。 – FOLK GUERRILLA 4. Charli XCX - Nuclear Seasons 5. Glasser - Apply 6. Girl's Day - Cupid 7. CHVRCHES – ZVVL 8. B'z - Nightbird 9. Unexpect - Feasting Fools 10. Portishead - Numb It was a toss up between Portishead and The Gathering, but ultimately We Just Stopped Breathing has the edge. The gloomy piano in it is perfect. And there is a lot of weight behind the lyrics "One day - sixteen. Woke up - sixty."

^ I'm not the hugest GazettE fan but whenever I see them come up in one of these shuffle lists, I have to give the song that's come up a listen, like calling an old friend to see how they're doing. 1. Devin Townsend Project - Kingdom 2. 柴咲コウ - wish 3. Pain of Salvation - Eleven 4. D'espairsRay - 「モノクロ」になった最期の日 5. Orange Caramel - 마법소녀 6. Ellie Goulding - Hanging On 7. Agua de Annique - Come Wander With Me 8. 絢香 – おかえり 9. Marina & the Diamonds - How to be a Heartbreaker 10. aspidistrafly - candlescape D'espairsRay is my favourite band, and that song is one of my absolute favourites by them. It's so eerie and romantic at the same time.

The console war has actually gotten interesting. Sad but interesting. What's truly depressing is hordes of Call of Duty fanboys (or Halo but they don't bother me so much) are still going to fork over money for this and not give a damn. They're not going to care that in buying into this, they are telling M$ (and indeed Sony) that it's okay to treat gamers like this, that they will essentially eat shit if you tell them it's not shit. It's their money so I mean, whatever, but it says something about the state of console gaming, doesn't it? If there was ever a better time to switch to PC gaming, you guys...

Their attempt at being Steam failed, they're going back to treating the Xbox One like a console and not a PC. But the damage might already be done. And the price is still $100 short of a decent gaming PC, so... too much.

Well, I didn't claim it as fact. I just said that this was my impression of him from following him for so long. What do you mean "it's VK after all" though? That's it's completely inconceivable for a VK musician to have mental issues without it being an act, a joke, or a 'character'? Trust me, there are plenty of unwell musicians in the industry.
