I'm working on a new video since this one is slightly outdated.

I think the bones of this issue lie in your personal definition of "escapism." Healthy escapism, in my opinion, is when you dive into fantasy to get away from troubling aspects of your life that you cannot control or change. It's perfectly reasonable to distract yourself from those issues by doing something that helps you forget. Unhealthy escapism is when you are hiding from something that you really must deal with. Generally speaking, the longer you avoid handling these types of issues, the worse they get, so not only are you postponing the inevitable, it's likely that you are making your own future more difficult for the illusion of a simpler present. If I was doing something that I loved, but it was making my situation worse, that would be a strong implication that the problem I was avoiding was that second kind of problem. Therefore, I shouldn't be avoiding it. Of course, knowing what you should do and being able to force yourself to do it are two different things. But if there's something you're running from and you know that running will hurt you, try to stop running.

After they announced Kizumonogatari, Owarimonogatari begins, and it's a freaking 48 minute long episode special! All the head tilts, crazy backgrounds and wordy dialogues are back, extended across 50 freaking minutes. I am in heaven right now. The opening was super cool, this might actually be my 3rd or 2nd favorite opening in the monogatari series (nothing beats Platinum Disco though). Really curious to know more about Ougi in this season, although I've sort of already spoiled myself on a lot of things about her. As for the episode itself, it was a nice mystery, albeit very cliché in terms of development, but it's fun to know more about Koyomi's past. I guess Oikura is going to become a regular in this arc then? She was in the credits so it's likely. Don't know how to feel about her, although I imagine there's a lot of potential to develop her. Thank you based Shaft and welcome back Monogatari series (although fuck you for making Kizumonogatari into a trilogy)

STRAIGHT INTO MY VEINS

'Dawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

If there was, I'm pretty sure I'd hate them instantly.

I cooked this great curry stew last weekend

You're making it sound like more Monogatari is bad. Sure it'll definitely be stretched out, but it's Shaft, it'll be worth it just for the eyegasm.

Just gonna put my btag out there (even more so) Sarayne#1517 add me

I am actually not sure. I remember reading somewhere that they wanted to do more with M2, but that they wouldn't be able to make the deadline if they did. So they decided to split M2 into 2 parts, so they could keep the deadline and also deliver the same quality as people expect. Im kind of ok with that explanation, theres enough other things I can read in the meantime. I don't really worry about it getting released, so far they delivered what they promised. The characters in Fault feel "fresh" (not too many stereotypes), the story is interesting enough; it is overall serious, there are some funnies and of course some infodumps about manakravte. I was happy Milestone 2 picked up the pace immediately, because it took a while before I could get into Milestone 1. Overall I thought it was an (surprisingly) enjoyable read. The only thing Im a bit concerned about is that they keep pulling new manakravte tricks out of the hat.

Enjoy your miserable life. Grind until you die. Agarest Zero is the second game but it is a prequel to Agarest GoW. I played the games in release order though. GoW, Zero and GoW2. But the correct order is Zero, GoW and GoW2. I only ever put effort into GoW and failed after 140 hours of gameplay. I can't really help you with that.

Confession: I'm not Moogy

My first game of chess against Cyr and I lost.... halp

Day made. Cannot wait.

Confession: I'm working on a new "Here at Fuwanovel" music video.

Please note that any names and or likeness to descriptions of people in this post are not meant to be offensive in anyway. I mention names for the sole purpose of getting points across, not to tell you your opinion and way of forum use is inferior. Also, please note that not everything I say will reflect how you feel. I am merely posting the things I see from my point of view, though this may not entirely reflect how you feel at this point in time. That is all. Fuwanovel. It's a site that has been around for quite some time now, and with all the recent changes that have happened in the past year or so, things have slowly started to go downhill. I don't want to beat around the bush and try to write something witty, I just want to state my thoughts about how I feel this site is changing and what is currently happening to lead it down its own path of destruction. Let me start by saying that this site is falling apart, and very quickly. Old members who guided this forum have slowly started to leave the site due to lack of interest, and new members are too "young" to understand the intricacies of the site. I understand that Tay has a perfect excuse for being away due to personal life issues on the island he is currently studying on, but what I do not understand is the amount of work that is being done to the site otherwise. Let me just cut right to how I feel. First of all... I am sick of the fact that the front site has not been updated. For the love of God, there is no excuse at this point. Nayleen, you took over Checkmate's job for the sole purpose of being that guy who works on the site when Tay is out (which he usually is) and yet all you are doing is putting it off more and more every fucking day. Don't tell me you are busy; you are sitting on Steam playing video games and clearly have the time to update the site. There is no fucking excuse at this point! People are donating to this site, and you refuse to even work on it. If there is a personal life issue that is happening, at least let people know because at this point all I see is complete laziness and lack of interest. So, we have Tay who is busy, and Nayleen who has apparently given up on Fuwanovel and left the site. Emi and other members like Kendjin and Rooke have left because nothing is happening, and a lot of those guys were the driving force for changes occurring on the site. Eclipsed and a lot of other active board moderators have started going into their own social cliques and don't give a flying fuck about the site at this point and its changes, dividing Fuwanovel with the confession's thread, the Love Live thread, and chat. Kaguya himself, someone who always complained about helping in the leadership department, has now resorted to posting in his PMs and giving a flying fuck about moderation. In other words, this place has no community anymore. There is no sense of togetherness anymore on the forums, and it's both sad and pathetic. You want to use college life as an excuse? Bullshit. People were attending school last year and nothing like this was happening. Most of you are freshman, and after going to college for 5 years myself with a double major mind you, your 1st year is pathetically easy regardless of your major. You have time to use this site for 1 hour a day at most and still socialize with others around campus. Am I the only person who actually cares about this community being together anymore? I have my TeamSpeak and group of friends, but even I try to desperately unite old and new members with a variety of activities and events. I am desperately trying to find something that will unite the community again, yet it seems nobody fucking gives a shit about what this site does anymore. Do they still lurk in the shadows? Of course, the loli ban on the site proved that when my TeamSpeak filled itself with 26 members and old members returned to post in that thread, people are still here. Yet nobody gives a flying fuck about what is happening, and at this point it's making it extremely difficult to continue pushing forward. And I get it, even I find myself doing the same thing others are doing as well. I start something and instantly give up on it because I know how much of a waste of time it is, so don't worry I am to blame as well. For the love of God, we got a donation system. It's pathetic and it's sad that we still don't have a stable leader to guide the site when real life situations occur. Tay has an excuse, but nobody else really does. At least Tay admits what is going on and shows his love for this site constantly. Everyone else just says "fuck it" and abandons it without a word. That's fine, but it makes it damn near impossible to do anything anymore. Entertainment and streams aren't working. I remember when 30+ members signed up actively for games and other community activities. Now we have nothing. No logo contests, no participation, nothing. I am not mad that what I am doing isn't working, but I am furious that this site is still sitting where it is this far into 2015. It's pathetic, and I want to say that I believe Fuwanovel is a dead shell. Sadly it isn't because of the changes, but rather because of the lack of interest anyone has on this site anymore. That's fine, but let's just admit the truth at this point - Fuwanovel is going downhill, and unless something is done and people actively work toward making it better, it's finished. I apologize for this post and for being upset, but deep down all I feel is regret and sadness for seeing such a site fall to the wayside and realize nothing has happened for the past year. Update the front site. There is no fucking excuse for this anymore.

It's true, it's true, I must confess. I feel an inexplicable yearning every time I see them. Hi, I'm ara and I'm mostly dumb, but hang in there with me, okay? I've been on fuwa for well over a year and now over 1000 posts. It's been pretty great and I've met a good number of people I very much enjoyed talking to. I made a lot of friends and stopped talking to just about as many, sadly. But the reason I post is because I actually want to talk about myself and my hopes and ambitions. I'd really appreciate it if you read my post with an open mind. One of my greatest passions is understanding and appreciating stories (and characters). These things that people write, draw, animate, or film. And I'm sure there are a number of other ways of storytelling, but for me, the stories I read about in books, manga, and anime seem to hold a special place in my heart. And the thing is that I don't think anyone really sees things the way I do a lot of the time. I won't get ahead of myself and tell you guys about how special I am and how I have this great vision or whatever, but there's definitely something different in the way everyone experiences stories, right? I believe a lot of that comes from contexts and from the reader's willingness to open their heart to the story. I care about many stories and I care about them in ways that I don't see people talking about. I care about facets of them that are often left undiscussed and it pains me every time I see someone bash something I love when it seems to me that they misunderstood "the really interesting part" or failed to appreciate the enjoyable uniqueness of the story. What I want to do is try to share my feelings with other people. I want other people to understand the way I feel and look at things with the same caring eyes that I do. I want to share with people the stories that I love and the things I love about them. Whether or not you may disagree, I think something wonderful can come from trying to transcend the singular context with which you read a story and see it in a new light. Or maybe it's just not very quality, but good in very specific and unique respects. That's cool too, right!? People, appreciate these things!! So I've been musing for a while. "I spend too much time talking to people online about nothing" "But you like talking to people, you like connecting and fangirling over things with people and sharing your passions" and thoughts like these, although recently they've been tainted with this general cynicism about online relationships. Yea, yea. Normal stuff. Sorry I'm not a hilarious breath of fresh air. But what occurred to me is that I should try to write. Actually write for other people as much as for myself, to try to build a bridge between their understanding of stories and my own, and hopefully get people to love some of the things I do for the reasons I do. So I want to take my 1000th-ish post time in the spotlight to say two things. 1. If you're looking for someone to talk to or feel lonely or want a friend or someone to bash ur fookin' 'ead in, I'll try to be a mate for ya. You can message me on fuwa or add me on skype or whatever you want and we can spend all the day chatting idly about why $0$ is a hilarious nickname for s0s or whatever garbage comes up. 2. I'm planning on writing something that may be called postviews or something... Thoughts on stories I've read and things that I think other people might have something to gain in thinking about. I think I'll do this as a blog function or something but I'm not entirely sure. The process might end up being too formal for my fool-ass self, but I want to at least bring it up in the hopes that someone cares and maybe we can talk about stories. Because I don't like sitting around thinking about why I love this and that so much without having anyone to share it with. Life is better spent with a friend. So, I hope you've enjoyed a glimpse into my mind as I post this awkward post with a fittingly awkward title that only makes sense if you really really think about it. I swear I'm only a little crazy! But I hope that I can share some of my craziness with you guys in the future. It's been a pleasure being on fuwa, but I seriously need an outlet for all of my thoughts and I think people are getting tired of my incomprehensible explanations. (Shoutout to HMN who won't read this but who is super amazing) Also this thread will function as an AMA for anyone that wants to ask pretty much anything or just talk about things. Idk! I didn't think that hard about this post, okay? gosh. Though I expect I scared most of you off with the text above.

999 is a DS game, its region free, any version will work on any DS or 3DS. I don't recommend the mobile version because the puzzles are important part of the experience.

I'm always here in fact XD I just didn't participate much. yup I knew, but Danganronpa was more successful commercially so I wasn't worried. ZE on the other hand.. actually came back from the dead lol anyway, I'm very happy about the news and I'll play both for sure.

Dreams do really come true "celebrating"

Emiya Shirou. He's a fucking idiot for 90% of F/SN. And F/SN is quite long.
