Not bad in the sense of a lack of quality but, I choose Suzumiya Haruhi no Yūutsu Season 2, not so much because of what they did in the animation (and changed a bit the artstyle), but what they did to me, because they broke my heart week...after week...after week...after week... after week...after week...after week...
They had their reasons to do what they did (the source material and the upcoming movie), but being enamoured from the first batch of chapters and the lightnovels, it was like...like...I don't have a proper word, but it was hard.
*fights against solidbatman and his lies with truth*

Day 4 was the only sane beign among us and his other day comrades, and decided to not take part in this maddness, so it will watch from afar instead.

Irresponsible is, playing WoW instead of doing homework for 4 years, my grades went down, but it was fun nonetheless.
Have all a great new year/year end.

Surely enough in Cross+Channel
When you go to the hokora the first time the song
Signal plays, then I was like "Oh my...this is going to get ugly (fortunately, it didn't)", and then I immediately remember Nanaka saying "Go to the hokora" everytime, I can't separate these events now, listening to the song alone is relaxing/mind-blowing equally, I won´t forget this anytime soon. -
Well, Dennou Coil it's the closest thing I know to a not-so popular anime, almost everything about the show was worth for me to watch it, the opening, the simple art, and the Sci-fi thematic, the feelings, it got me to totally invested in the universe, but mostly because the not so unreal sci-fi (I think we can reach that point...maybe)-
OFF Topic:and from MAL some user with the nick Aeterna gave it thumbs up, that is my favourite name for virtual related things (My HDD name xD, among other things)

My new year resolution depends on the perspective;
Professional:to get a (hopefuly good) job, so I can get to buy miscelaneous goodies;
Health:to gain 7+ kg. in weight (muscle only would be great);
VN's:to read 1 per month (at least), convince a friend to get into VN's;
Other:to learn to drive;
All of them can be one big resolution linked, no one is excluyent to the others.

My entry
Wanted to do a full size drawing, but ended with pixels, here, Haruhi wants to catch Santa Hachikuji, a vague reference to a chapter in Haruhi-chan no Yuuutsu, and add fake santa to her collection of time travel esper spirit friends
Bonus, "The making of: 4 hour footage"

... baying tobacco and empty filters is at lest 3-5 times cheaper than baying pack of finished cigarettes and you get a lot more quality tobacco this way).
... I just have my beliefs and they say that every person will die when he needs to die,
something like a fate or every person having it's time but not totally the same....
Interesing to hear, the only alternative aproach I knew to get into that was e-cigarretes (Illegal to sell, legal to use here, great isn't it?)
That sounds reasonable, but I like a saying about "Dying of good health is the lower price at wich we can leave this world"
I don't buy into any of the new age stuff, being a scientist, but what I do believe in is moderation. Don't eat unhealthy all the time, do some exercise (walking is fine; running excessively can actually mess up your joints as you age if you're not careful) and eat lots of fruits and vegetables, since those have been associated with increased longevity far more than any 'miracle cure'. Moderation, for me, is the key to not only a relatively long, but also fulfilled life.
Mmm the thing about new age (I suppouse you're refering to Flux and that paragraph)was unintended, I don't agree with the fundamentals of it, but I do like the program and it's brightness controls.
And yes, moderation is indeed a great tool, maybe not for a long life, but a more enjoyable one (I don't like having headaches, less to have them often), but then everyone can go overboard when they feel like it
Health is really important, I really look after my own health. I do everything you mentioned, and I don't spend too much nighttime on the computer. However, I do overkill myself sometimes trainning, not that I mind though.
Jeje the world is full guilty pleasures, but also if you don't mind, then it's all right.
I guess the kind of breaks I take is that I refill my glass of water every 30 minutes to 1 hour from the refrigerator to the computer. I have to say that I am in good health, but lack excerise.
I move back and forth between the toilet?
I walk downstairs and back every now and again to get another can of Coke, does that count?
You're all on the right track, keep moving.
There's no necessary connection between eye strain and eye health.
This topic needs more evidence-based discussion.

Avoiding eye strain will not improve your eye health. You'll simply avoid incurring a headache.
If you want to avoid eye health problems down the road, wear sunglasses while driving during the daytime. Don't smoke or drink. Avoid becoming overweight. Eat a balanced diet. However, genetics remains the most important factor for eye health.

Thanks everybody for your responses, you made me aware my short-sighted vision in this post xD, and sure I got lost while writing it, my intended message was more along the lines of
"Beign healty is better than not, and if you like digital entertainment, you should try beign gentle with your eyes",
you all made me aware of things that go beyond the writing here, so next time I will try a different aproach, thank you for your feed back.
[ORIGINAL]
Hello everyone,
I wanted to share my point of view and experiences, and hear of yours as well regarding this topic, I'll try my best to not sound like I'm telling any of you what to do, because I'm not aiming at that, nor I will ever obligate you to, the best I can do is getting you to consider this and leave the desicions up to you.
First of all, a friendly piece of advice, given that if you are reading this either you have a tablet, smarthphone or a computer in front of you, whatever the size of this is (wall size,pocket size,all of them), please consider the following tips:
-It's non medical advice, just what have worked for me
a)Taking a break every now and then, it's not the best to focus for more than a couple of hours on the screen, even if it's just a few seconds stand up (if applies) stretch and blink conciously, if you are in the middle of a exciting non-pausable scene, take the next loading screen or scene change as an opportunity to take the minibreak.
b )If you are an avid reader and like to spend night time navigating or playing or whatever staring at the screen, consider lowering the bright of your device, go easy on your eyes, either changing that manually or trying software like FLUX (http://justgetflux.com/), our eyes play are the single most important part for this, the electronic entertainment.
The anecdotical part is that, Flux may or may not work but if it's not On I can immediately tell (and sure it makes a difference when the computer is not mine, I can't look at those that easily), you get this orange-yellowish tint, but it's kind of a trade of for being able to read without getting eye-strained (at least like before). If you don't mind to give it a try, do it, if you do, then don't (redundant =P).
The reasoning behind all of this ? (Yes there is one)
People sometimes overlook their health, thinking it's pretty much a "given", but I'm of the opinion that IT'S not,
there's a whole world of things we can't control, but at least for the things we can, why not try, being healty is the most valuable thing I think we'll ever have, it took me my entire (short/not) retrospective life to realize it, and because I want to play tomorrow, and the day after, I'm going to sleep right now (but will be back, I reckon there are holes to fill).
But not before leaving the invitation for all of you to share your thoughts, after all my single point of view it's not absolute.
*Note:(I auto-perceived a lot of generic speech up there, but thats that, my communications skills are that level I suppose)

Mmmm... after analizing all the responses, what I know and what's not being told, the only logical answer is
Of course I want to participate!

I want to thank you all for the cordial welcome, I gladly accept the offernings beign consumed.. in black flames... ...
Anyway, glad to be here, I have to say, my soul?, as a ticket... why not!, I was sure it was going to be useful someday *deposits soul in it's place feeling like it was the best deal*
...This thing about toasters makes me remember solidbatman's running gag about toaster erotica...
Oh my, that made me laugh, curiosity is a double edged sword when knowledge it's a few clicks away.
And because Fuwa has the word novel in it, sure I'll be around, clicking and reading through the forum routes, in the unique format of it being written everyday, hoping to get the choices right for the good ending.(I'm no looking forward to an end, but we can always have an After if thats the case =))

Helloooooooo there! Welcome to the forums, and I gotta say I dig the screen name.
Thank you, originally I wanted it to be Aeterna alone, but I tought it was a bit missleading (LuxAeterna solves that,...to an extent)
That's interesting to hear how you got into visual novels! Everyone comes to them through their own path~
Anyway, welcome to the forums
Thankfully VN's were future proof in this case, and there's a lot to read before I reach a dead-end with this machine, but I hope I can get people around to aproach VN's through a friendlier way (I think with Fuwanovel it's posible)
-
Well, then I'll keep doing what I know, thanks for welcoming responses, and I'm looking forward to contribute in someway to the community (and get to know how the forum options work...)
-
Thanks, and yep, I know it's long, sorry , but I'm bad at wording my thoughts, I'll try to keep it short from now on

Hi, I'd like to start saying how happy I am to have found Fuwanovel (again), because one day I was navigating the site(I have an old copy of the Aaeru Guide to Read in 2 years), then another "visualnovelaer not avaible in wordpress" D= and today I am here =).*Note: I do love parenthesis while writing (and derail too much too often), but feel free to skip them.As far as how I was introduced to the wonderful multiverse of VN's, I can say is all thanks to my dear toaster (year 2000 second hand laptop), because I wanted to play games but surely enough it won't run anything complex in 3D, but I wanted to take the best out of it(and every other gadget that I can get my hands on), so I started my quest, and long story short, Narcissu ended up beign installed, finished and loved, that was the moment the technical limitation became the door to a new extremely satisfiying multicultural and useful hobbie (but the impact it's strong enough to keep me from read VN after VN).But thinking about it now, it's almost like I was training myself to get into VN's(I know it's not but it's funny to think that way), I grew up playing Nintendo games (I like others, but they're my favorites), beign in japanese or english, didn´t care then, the TV got me into Anime (Classic DB/DBZ), and liked music (Instrumental, classic, etc.) since... since I can remember =), got to read manga along the way(not so easily avaible printed) with the benefit that I got to into the story at my own pace, then a VN sounds like "the logical conclusion".Later came Tsukihime, Saya no Uta, a brief look to the Ren'Py engine tutorial(I liked even that), and few others I can't remember (but VNDB.org can =D), so came the "second logical conclusion", If i want to experience more down the road I need to learn japanese, and Aaeru's guide is and was the first step, but school was a time-consuming so it a looooooooong step.I'll cut it there (I don't know if there's something left), and say I'd like to be part of the community, I'm pleased to meet you all, if there is something I can help you with I hope I can do it, feel free to ask.*Note:I'm nervous like if I were introducing myself in front of you.
