Rewatching all of JoJo. Currently halfway through Battle Tendency. That is all. xD

I just finished reading Oyasumi Punpun, and... wow. Just wow. Can't say I have had anything had any other manga affect me in such a way. I read it all in one day, and man, was it ever a ride. I'm not even sure how I am supposed to put my thoughts into words for this. It was surreal, yet so very rooted in reality. It was an unapologetic look at life and mental illnesses, that really drives a nail or ten through the heart with its relatively relatable (for me) stories. There is a lot more I would like to talk about, but I really can't get it into words right now. It was just so good, and honestly, with some time to stew on it, it is probably my number one manga of all time. Just, if you are thinking about reading it, be prepared. It has an EXTREMELY depressing atmosphere. Like, an unhealthy level of depressing.

See ya. Welp, that was a nice visit. ^^'' : ^ )

Confession: I... I am back for my bi-monthly visit. *been gone for three months*

I THINK I can talk... Maybe. Or perhaps... maybe I am just hearing my thoughts out loud... and nobody else can hear them but me! I didn't even stutter, which is an accomplishment for me. XD *fights the powaa* \ /

Confession: I got rejected from a call center job, with the lowest of the low requirements. The bottom of the barrel is too good for me. Confession 2: Surprisingly, I'm not upset about it. I think I am actually finally emerging from this funk I've been in. Confession 3: Just feels good to post here again.

Confession: I understand both of these stories way too much. It burns my soul to think about how much I can relate to this. Confession 2: I feel like I have a LOT of catching up to do. Ah well, such is life. ^^ Realization: HOLY SHIT, MY REN EMOTE IS ACTUALLY A THING!?!?!?!?!

This probably will only matter to a select few of you, but I figured I should probably give an update on what has happened to me and why I just dropped off the face of Cyber-Earth, both here on the main site, and on the Skype groups. Well, first off, please let me clarify that I have no intention of leaving the site. I still love Fuwanovel just as much as I did when I first stumbled in here, as the lowly pleb that I once was. However, I am sure that my long string of inactivity has probably left some of the people who know me thinking I am either slowly dying and distancing myself from the community, or that perhaps I just don't care, and have surrendered myself to the 3D realm. Both of these trains of thought are not exactly right. Well, to put it simply, I have just been under a great deal of stress over the last six months or so. First off, I dropped out of University, as I wish to switch over to college and take IT. Second, I have been unemployed ever since and no job has given me the light of day. I currently have one thing hanging in the air precariously, but I have a pretty high degree of pessimism as I am currently basing all future outcomes on previous ones. Last main point; I've been in a really dark spot due to the stress of being unable to find a job. Everyone has been very understanding in my life, and I can't thank them enough for that, but I've just felt so useless due to being a very unproductive member of society. The only thing that really keeps me from caving in is the loving support of my girlfriend, without whom I am sure I would be completely and utterly defeated and on some kind of watch list. So why does this matter? I have always been very vocal about my personal feelings and the like in various threads, with the Confessions thread immediately coming to mind. How is this any different then what is already public knowledge? Well, all of this extra stress has started leaking into my writing persona. Until now, my writing persona and my real life persona have been one and the same. I act the exact same way I do in real life, and I have no shame in saying that. The problem is, I don't want you guys to start seeing me differently. I want to remain that friendly feels guy that some of you guys seem to somehow tolerate. I mean like, yeah, I do get around to posting every now and again, and I do check in on the Skype groups whenever I can. I just don't stay active because I usually just get bogged down shortly after. Again, I just don't want you guys to start seeing me differently. So yeah, I am going to cut this short. This is not a goodbye. This is not even a notice of a temporary leave. This is just letting people who might care, even just a little bit, know what is up with my fading in and out of the community. So yeah, sorry for taking up your time with my real world problems. As I have said many times in this post, just letting you guys know why I am so ded. ^^''

Confession: I am right there with you.

Wow... I made those not even two weeks into my stay here. xD Ren emotes. Pls gib.

Confession: The sci-fi mood that settled in about a month ago still hasn't gone away. In fact, it's only gotten stronger. Currently playing Aurora 4x to try and shake it off, but again, it's only getting stronger. xD

Hype hype hype hype hype hype hype hype!!! Really excited to get my hands on this one. I would post every single Fortissimo OP here, but that is just way too much of a bother. But for now: Dekinai Watashi Ga, Kurikaesu. Sends chills down my spine every time I watch and just listen to this one. Let's see, there is also: Bradyon Veda I remember spending a VERY long time looking for the full version of this one, before finally concluding that it just doesn't exist. Hurts my feels, because I really love this song. I'm too tired to think of others, but I am sure I will post again in here.

Confession: I need to find some form of consistency with my visits to the Skype group. xD I come on for like four days as a fairly active member, and then I disappear for like a week, only to come back for another like three or four. xD No wonder everyone keeps thinking I am dead.

Hai hai~ Welcome and enjoy your stay. Filthy Riven main, right here. xD

These life choices. I approve so much. Just keep telling your teacher(s) how Aoi is best grill

Gotta agree. Yasuo's was amazing. I also really like Nasus', funny enough. xD The best one I have heard so far, imo, is Jinx. The laugh makes it. Holy shit does the laugh ever make it.

Jayce's Japanese VO disappoints me greatly. Just doesn't fit. :/

Petition to change the name back, anyone?

If I wrote your post, it would literally only consist of one thing:

Sure, if you would like it never.

Confession: I've been meaning to do a one year post, but I am ashamed that I haven't broken 1000 posts yet, so I am just kinda waiting until I do that so I can do both posts in one. Laziness reigns supreme, as usual~

I remember our small conversation about NTR on Skype. I kinda shut it down before it could go anywhere, but I suppose now that I have a moment to collect my thoughts I can give my own opinion. I am also drawn to extreme negative emotions. I love despair. I love raw anger. I like watching as characters have their very being striped down to the core, and then fundamentally dismantled. However, I just can't get into NTR. Jealously will never be an emotion I will just be okay with. I've had a hard time enough mastering my own feelings of jealousy in the past, so I would just rather not go near something that has the potential of having me slip into old mental habits. Plus, you know, past events suck and all of that jazz. I had this weird thought the other day that maybe I should just read an NTR visual novel and see if I just randomly get over it. Wouldn't be the first time that the medium helped me change the way I think about something. ^^''

I can also confirm that this works on Windows 8.1 64bit. Launched without any issues whatsoever. Guess this solves that problem quite nicely. Thanks so much for all the help, everyone. Wasn't expecting the level of help to extend all the way to coding a new launcher, but anyway, thanks again. ^^

Welp, guess it isn't going to work with my other laptop either, as it is a 64bit Windows 7. At the very least, you saved me the needless effort. xD
