    I can pretty much render my phone useless with iOS 8. And yes, I'm probably at fault myself for upgrading to it on an iPhone 4s, but there were no warnings around yet that it would be such a complete disaster. Webpages take at least twenty seconds to load, applications crash all the time, it's generally just slow as f*ck and all the extras are useless as they only take away the great options that iOS 7 had and just turned it into a non-functioning device. It takes about ten tries to copy a text so the phone will actually remember that it copied something. I wish Apple would let us downgrade without having to jailbreak everything.

    A Dualshock 4 for my brother.
  3. TBS's releases so far have been in the same league as VANITAS. Yet everybody abhorred VANITAS yet love TBS. And I just can't understand. Personally I loved VANITAS so I have absolutely nothing to complain about, but it's just weird behaviour to see people suddenly kissing ass whereas they couldn't stand the sound of it first.

    The scroller of my mouse died and now it's a living hell to move through websites like Tumblr or even iTunes. I need a new one D:

    I'm trying to pass through Outlast but I can hardly play for thirty minutes without pissing myself, aha.

    I isolate myself as much as possible or completely avoid fears. I hardly ever face them. Where do you see yourself in ten years from now?
  7. Is there ever going to be thread about Jin where people don't complain about his vocals? And also I see a lot of people worshiping TBS but still hating NEGA which doesn't make sense. The PV is amazing though, I'm just not a fan of the bondage stuff.

    ^ That's simply a case of bad grammar, at least for Japanese releases.

    When no matter what you tell people, they just won't listen to you and rampage over you with their own opinion without even reading what you have to say or showing any bit of compassion.

    And this is how I feel people with mental illnesses or conditions are still looked down upon. It is not an excuse we are using — it is not a form of attention-seeking. We seek people to listen to our side of the story so we're not oppressed by society's herded flock of sheep who all follow one example. I simply stated that ostracism is the main cause of people's depression and that it leads to further destruction of the soul, and that ignoring others is not a proper form of dealing with people who apparently seem annoying. I didn't just speak for myself, I spoke for every single depressed or mentally unstable individual out there in the world and gave an example of how deeply rooted it can sit with someone. But people's pain is overlooked because it's in the way, it means that we have to look out for them where we rather take care of ourselves. It's frightening to know how many people suffer in silence simply because of the fact that if they speak it out toward the world, they will either get ignored or spited. But here, the mass public of society wins the discussion again, it is what I and the rest of the world are used to. Making sure to treat people right and with respect is no longer a necessity in this mostly self-centered society and people are learnt to refrain from contacting others or responding to them, because it means that you might not profit from it as you desire. We no longer live in a give-and-take world. It's all taking, taking, and taking for every individual, keeping things to yourself without a desire to share. And I don't think this discussion is running out of hand, personally. It is what discussions and differences in opinions are about. No one is directly offending one another (or at least from my viewpoint), so I don't think a moderator's hand is necessary. And to come back to the consideration-point: perhaps we should. Perhaps we should consider every individual's personal preferences, fears and triggers. It would make this world a much better and safer place, one in which we can accept and respect each other as is meant to.

    I've got little left to say about this other than that this way of thinking is just sad. Also, telling another person to 'go outside' is the one of the most childish responses to emotional damage I have ever heard, and I keep hearing it from a lot of people.

    This might be rather off-topic, but ostracism is more damaging than any other type of bullying. Whether this occurs in school, family-life, your workplace, on the internet. Personally I have experienced ostracism first-hand since I entered high-school which is almost ten years ago, and I haven't been able to rid myself of the phenomenon yet and still experience being ignored on a daily basis. I have suffered from depression for several years now and ostracism has been the main culprit. Doing something as small as ignoring someone's request of whether or not you would want to upload a release can increase this damage even more because it might be someone's final droplet that floods their bucket. You might not realize it as the offender in this case, but behind that request can stand a person who has been victim of ostracism all his or her life. To me it is painful, yes, whenever I politely ask for something and I simply don't receive an answer because someone out there finds themselves too important to reply to someone who is not their friend. You might be missing out on an opportunity. Someone who seeks for this release obviously has already one similar interest as you do: music, and most particularly that one band you have a release of. Who says you cannot be friends? The damage is not dealt when you say, 'sorry, I'd rather not share this music with you (for whatever reason you have)', but it's dealt when you straight-on dismiss someone's voice. While most of society believes that bullying is more damaging, it truly is not. But being excluded, isolated, and feeling invisible to other people leads more often to depression, self-harm and suicidal tendencies than any other form of bullying. There is a high effort underway of bullying-plans on the educational-and workfloors but people have yet to recognize exclusion of others, especially done so by mutuals and peers. This might not open up people's eyes and most will simply continue on with their means of dealing with people who seem annoying by asking of a simple request, but at least it is out there to make people realize it. And I strongly believe that if this truth isn't realized, then there is absolutely something wrong with this side of society.

    Ignoring any person for whatever reason is rude. I don't understand when this policy became acceptable in society.

    I play guitar and bass-guitar (bass becomes rather easy-ish when you start out with guitar). I haven't picked up either for about four years now though, somehow the inspiration isn't there... I wish I could play piano though.
  20. How much €€€ do people generally take to Japan when they go on a gig-tour/vacation? Say three weeks or something?

      Or rather, what are the final expenses with flight + accomodation if you don't overdo it on shopping?

      Flight: 1,600 CDN

      Hotels if I decide to use them: Around 10,000 Yen for a decent one, 2,000 for a capsule.

      Food: 500 CDN just to be safe.

      Transportation: 300 CDN

      Concerts: 1,000 Yen to 9,000 Yen each(bigger ones)

      Leisure Money: 600-1000 CDN

      So about 5,000 CDN but that is not being tight with money, if you are tight, you can do it for almost half, but as you see my plane ticket is expensive, and I eat a lot.

  21. I'm growing jealous of every person who has friends... Seeing them do things together, have inside jokes together, just the whole picture. It makes me upset.

      I finally found a friend like that. Even though we live in different cities.

      I used to have quite a lot of friends, but they all went separate ways and started to no longer include me in their plans. And now I have no one.

      I never really had such close friends. In college it was somewhat like this because I was living in the same house with a few other students. But after that we all just lost contact.

    Isn't it just as rude to ignore someone completely? Giving a simple explanation on how you don't want to share it, and then proceeding to back off, that's fine. If people grow aggressive and such then is the time to ignore them, but not before that.

    It's like there is just nothing funny about me and it repels people. My sense of humour and compassion are nihil regarding my autism, I don't connect to people and don't have the patience to wait for six hours until I finally get a reply from someone that consists of less than a full word. Recently all I can talk about is how depressed I feel because I feel neglected and that's even more repelling for others. I don't even know how to start a 'normal' conversation. Everything I type is considered as 'rude writing' or whatsoever seeing as I don't use emoticons and am fond of proper grammar, spelling and punctuation. It's like intelligence is looked down upon on the internet nowadays and everybody desires to see a kindergarten approach in behaviour.

    Personally I am more bothered by people plainly ignoring you if you politely ask if they could upload a certain release. Happens to me too often.
