LuxÆterna

Yes, correctly

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.

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

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 Bonus, "The making of: 4 hour footage"

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" 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 Jeje the world is full guilty pleasures, but also if you don't mind, then it's all right. You're all on the right track, keep moving. I sure can learn from you, thank you apporting what I now know was lacking in this thread

[uPDATE] 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

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* 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 =))

Thank you, originally I wanted it to be Aeterna alone, but I tought it was a bit missleading (LuxAeterna solves that,...to an extent) 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...)
