I was the same way.

You see it all starts once you have enough money for them then you will be all like, "Well hell I can afford it so what's stopping me?"

That's how it begins, and it will happen to you in some form.

:pyaa: You make me afraid. And a bit curious...

Though I'll probably never have enough money for them anyway. :vinty:

Confession: On a different forum, I agreed on a challenge with another member to pick eachother's avatar that we would use for the next week. It seems that we both underestimated just how crazy it would become (still worth the fun,though).

 

And also underestimated our abilities to make eachother's community reputation a hell :wahaha:

EDIT: Btw, i was forced to use Pico from Boku no Pico as my avatar

 

how about trying it here, anyone up for it?

Confession: This will be a weird one, cause it's completely unrelated to anything but... I've finally said goodbye to Star Wars: The Old Republic. And Bioware in general. I've never played that game like an MMO, it was not very appealing to me in that respect and I was also never consistent enough to be a raider - I always had a super-unpredictable schedule and got bored of games too fast to get involved in MMO-style endgame. It was, however, one of my favourite games of all time story-wise, with the fantasy of playing a Jedi or a Sith done in a really awesome way. I pretty much played it for the cut-scenes and the various interactions that player characters had with their companions, treating it like an adventure/romance VN, without caring much about gameplay (no wonder I've ended up here). It sparked my imagination like few other pieces of media ever did, nearly driving me to write some embarrassing fanfics (...nearly...).

However, in past three years the game devolved into a caricature of itself, with a progressively more poorly written story, lack of content, misguided endgame changes, shitty communication with the playerbase. The latest "big" update contained two 2-minute pieces of (poor) dialogue and one boss encounter. This also goes to the state of Bioware - the studio whose games, in general, I once hugely enjoyed and played through pretty much all of them multiple times. I don't think I can expect anything worth my time from them anymore. Andromeda, in the end, was pure mediocrity - with an enjoyable main story, but an absolutely shitty set of companions and those always gave Bioware RPGs their personality. Anthem might be ok, but I don't see any reasons to be excited about it, especially it being an MMO FPS. I might play the next Dragon Age game, but I'm not even sure about that, if EA messes with the game's formula and make it onto some microtransaction-infested mess or another pointless grindfest like Inquisition. I just... Can't see a way in which anything good can come out of Bioware at this point. And this, I think, closes an era both in video games and my involvement with them. Goodbye, Age of Bioware RPGs. I appreciate the memories! Now, let's go back to VNs... :3

And sorry for random ramblings, I just felt like writing this somewhere. :vinty:

Confession, I read the news title "Japan PM Shinzo Abe apologises amid cronyism scandal, vows to revise constitution" and the first thing I thought was "maybe he can change the constitution to allow uncensored depictions of genitalia."

And in Wikipedia, 100 years from now you'll see a note about Japan being the first country to proclaim access to uncensored porn a constitutional right of every citizen. ;)

As well as the first and only country where a people died out due to low birthrates.

Btw a comment on japanese birth rates, not that they stopped having sex because of uncensored porn.

Confession: Today I managed to solidify two of the habits I've been working on with HabitBull after 66 days of consistent practice, and I'm very happy with the results. Now I'm at the point where I can maintain a consistent exercise routine and turn off my computer at specific times without much effort at all. Up until now, I never really put much stock in developing habits, but I'm pretty stoked for it now that I know how effective it can be.

Now I'll be working towards a habit of spending 1 hour each day studying Japanese and spending less time in bed when I'm not falling asleep. Lately I've been falling off track with my sleep since I haven't been able to consistently implement the strategies my sleep therapist introduced to me, so I'm hoping I can get it fixed in the next 66 days. I realize it's gonna take a very long time to fix my insomnia problem, so I think I need to properly develop a habit of using these sleep techniques in order to resolve it in a more reasonable time frame.

This habit system should help me with learning Japanese too since my greatest obstacle to learning the language is motivation. But the nice thing about forming new habits is that it requires more focus than motivation since your mind gets so accustomed to repetitively carrying out tasks. Although it kinda sucks that I've almost completely forgotten hiragana and katakana, lol. But since I had it memorized at one point in time, it's not as difficult re-learning the kana. I imagine I'll have them committed to memory again in another day or three (I think it took me two weeks the first time).

Confession: I always thought I had a little thing for twins sisters, but that's it.

Today, I finished the Twins' route in KonoSora. Now I'm sure, I have a real fetish for twin sisters. :yumiko:

Confession: I never understood why people cared about Reddit that much. Until three days ago...

Reddit is both scary/volatile and absolutely addicting. :michiru:

I've had a some pretty nasty experiences with the site overall, so I don't really care much for reddit. I don't doubt there are worthwhile subs to visit, but the ones I've been to so far feel a bit elitist. Some people are really bad about downvoting content they disagree with.

rip your productivity.  That site has sucked away weeks of my life by now.

I can see that happening. :o The VN subreddits are not that noisy though, so they end up much less time-consuming than Fuwa so far. ^^

That's pretty much what I meant with "volatile" part, but TBH, it's such a huge, anonymous crowd on most subreddits that I'm less bothered by negativity then I would be in a place like here. :>

Ah, I see what you mean there. But yeah, part of the reason I left the MAL forums years ago was because of the swamp it turned into after it got more popular (back when most forum-goers actually enjoyed fanservice in anime, lol), and I have more than enough negativity to deal with in real life.

Confession: I know I've said this before, but I think I'm finally ready to stop playing MMOs for good now.

After playing Runescape obsessively for over four months, I've been on the fence about quitting these last few days. And after reading a few video comments on the official Runescape youtube channel, I come across a couple interesting videos covering the Skinner Box and unpleasant design that completely changed my perspective on gaming and further motivated my desire to permanently give up MMO gaming. My reason for quitting mostly has to do with how my mind has been trained to play Runescape compulsively; not just because of how it rewards excessive commitment, but also due to its tendency to block off some of the most rewarding content behind recurrent daily, weekly, and monthly reset periods (some of which have to be played in very specific times). Before I knew it, the game had conditioned me to play it every single day (even when I wasn't in the mood) so that I could maximize my daily gains, and I never missed weekly or monthly content. On top of all that, Runescape goes out of its way to put in tedious time sinks that are crucial for progression. That's not to say there weren't any moments where I genuinely felt like I was having a good time (especially while I was questing), but those moments were far too few in between for me to feel like I was getting a sense of enjoyment from the game overall. And although RS3 is the worst offender by far, I feel that every other variant of Runescape had some major design flaws in regards to this as well since it has always been a grind game.

But now that I have something concrete to center my thoughts on, I feel like I can finally throw in the towel for good and just leave the MMO scene entirely. I'm not sure how well I'll hold up in the future, but I'm gonna bookmark those two videos I linked as a reminder of why I quit playing MMOs in the first place. And frankly, now that I know how Skinner Boxing works, I'm a little pissed off that I allowed myself to be manipulated like this. That said, I'm glad I caught on before my spending habit became more severe. Because of how much time I spend playing this game, I've developed bad spending habits such as extending my membership period for beneficial auras, buying banks slots, buying pets, buying gear/item presets, and even maintaining membership for another account so I can play two different game modes (standard and ironman). I've spent a little over $270 since I started playing in December, and I'm concerned that it might get worse if I continue to play this game as I have been.

Best of luck to you with obtaining your freedom! I've been MMO clean for something like four years now, and it constantly amazes me what I can do with all the time I've suddenly reclaimed and all the actually new experiences I get to have, instead of spending all my time doing the same old things over and over again for meaningless digital trinkets.

Oh man, I only lasted a year before relapsing with WoW. And even after surgery on my left hand, I fell back on Runescape since it mostly involved mouse play.

But now that I'm a little more actively engaged in studying and exercise, I may not feel the urge to play again. One can only hope. :sachi:
