Aaaamen!
My condolences haha, I'm not quite there yet but I'm sitting on my 28. At 27 I didn't feel old at all, and when I hit 28 I was like... oh, damn, I'm getting old? 😂 

I know right? Being able to just get up and do something (or just having the freedom to laze around and do nothing) is pretty awesome. 
 
Yeahhhhh got the big 30 coming up this year. Fun fun.

It's so nice to be alone tho, right? No "what are we going to eat today", not having to care at all about someone else's schedule or... anything lol 😂 Meanwhile also starting to feel old (uh-oh)

I'm not a sarcastic person, so I'm always oblivious to it, thanks for the clarification.

...You do know @Tokageis joking right? 

It's actually been a year now since I moved to live alone. I can't believe how time flies. Or how comfortable I am being alone and dedicating myself to my hobby. Maybe I'm meant to be alone? Am I going to be alone forever? Could there possibly be someone I could be fully comfortable with that would understand my quirks? Do I even want that? How am I so easily over a ten year long relationship that even ended in me being the one that was dumped out of the blue?
 
I'm such an asshole for ghosting people who tried to start real relationships with me.

 

my most vanilla co-worker just asked me to play her some tracks from the CDs I've just gotten from Japan. can't decide if I want to traumatize her with nokubura or go the Initial'L route and ease her into things ~ decisions decisions~

the saddest war film is avengers: endgame because the funny sarcastic metal man died

they literally should have never touched their entire kisou - WTD catalogue
 
the macabre remakes are very good (at least intrumentally all of them were improved), zan is sound vomit, but so was the original so w/e.

I've never really "felt" Deviloof music before but decided to give the new album a listen and I must say it's not as bad as I was expecting! I must agree that some of the clean vocals aren't implemented as well as they could (last song, I'm looking at you) and overall most songs tend to sound samey so not many songs stand out in this context.
 
Sorry if I'm being the contrarian but I'm not exactly a fan of Keisuke's vocals. Maybe it's the production that rendered them this way, but they sound fairly weak - I mean, he can produce sounds in a rather wide range of pitches (which is really cool and definitely my thing) but he's really lacking that "oomph" on his screams (and considering that the majority of the vocals on the album are harsh, that leads to some "overexposure").
 
I mean, i'm still not exactly a fan but they at least proved to not be just the "gimmick deathcorey band that the vk folk that don't listen to deathcore drool over" lol Despite some ideas feeling like they were just "thrown" on the songs without further elaborating, they're good at what they do and have a lot of room to improve.

I'm also of the opinion above that all the heavier stuff is at the very least funny to have around, whereas the lighter remakes of everything but Undecided I can't stand. The amount of songs from them that I just won't listen to is not great and it's mostly the remakes like Kasumi, Wake, Final and then also Obscure from the heavier ones. 

The Incredibles 2 is over a year old.

been on the verge of crushing on a completely unobtainable person lately. must just be the universe telling me to never love again lol

I actually prefer the remakes of The Final and Kasumi composition-wise, but they have awful mixes that make them sound flat

I wish that instead of the From Depression to... Tour, for their 20 years anniversary they remastered their whole catalogue (maybe not all of them, at least the pre-Uroboros stuff). 
 
BTW I think their remakes only "work" for heavier and faster songs. JMO everytime they tried remaking one of their more emotional mid-tempo songs ("The Final", "Kasumi", "Wake"), they ended up half-assing it and killing all the rawer emotion the originals had. I'd rather have them not touching "Conceived Sorrow", "The Pledge" or "Namamekashiki", those are some of my favorite songs by them because they hit me right in the feels and I wouldn't enjoy if they changed those (of course I could hear just the originals then, but they also "replace" the versions live and stop playing the old ones )

Not this again...Thread closed bruh.
 

 

I like this band these days. Releases range from meh to solid and I like their concept quite a bit 
 
 
from a forgotten mini that I liked and expected others to like as well

we didn't take a single photo during the anime convention lol

y'all need some jesus christ in ur lives

I just think Momoka Nishina is hot and thicc and I wanna look like her even tho I never will

Custard is just... okay. I know that sounds odd coming from me as I have a mahoosive sweet tooth, but it's just... okay.

the fact that xxx japan is getting more attention than these legends is really insulting...

I don't know what's going on but I'm both creeped out and reluctantly impressed.

Some random thoughts I had while out walking this morning...
 
It's easy to see the negative effects that human beings have had on nature and wildlife...on our environment....but I don't think many people realize that other people are part of our environment too.  Probably because we can't always actually "see" the effects as viscerally as, say, an oil spill. but that doesn't mean our words and actions have no effect. It's essentially a spiritual matter, and altho spiritual matters can't be seen, they can be discerned. Just like you can't see the wind, but you can discern the effects of it ---> the natural world is simply a reflection of the spiritual. So in like manner, the way we interact with our material environment has the same implications of how we interact with the "spiritual environment" of other human beings. Everything we say, do, and don't do - affects others.
 
It's all too easy to litter in the minds of others, to trample over the gardens of the heart, and to dump our toxic waste into the deep waters of the spirit. But the opposite is also true...we can help each other pull up those weeds, we can water each other, we can plant seeds of positivity and love. We can take what was made ugly, and make it beautiful again. We can take what was made filthy, and make it clean again. We can take what was made desolate, and make it abundant again. We can take what was made depressed and lifeless, and fill it with joy and meaning again.
 
Or we can simply tend to our own yards, and watch the rest go to hell. Either way, how we choose to interact with our environment is up to us. In the beginning, The Most High created light and separated it from darkness. He also made male and female in his own image - so we have that same ability - to separate light from darkness, order from chaos, and good from evil in our own lives. We can choose the manner in which we want to operate in our environments - whether it be for better or worse.
 
Being aware of the fact that you DON'T have to be an environmental toxin is one thing. But actually living your life trying NOT to be...well, that's what truly being conscious is.  And it don't really get no "woker" than that. Everything beyond that is just vanity. Be eco-friendly
