Kenshin_sama

Looks like we got some wiz kids around here.

It's upscaled, but I like it.

For anyone with a urine fetish, this has pretty good build-up. http://exhentai.org/g/912753/c98ec273d3/

This past week I've finished a few anime. I've been kinda lagging behind on anime in general last time I watched it, but now I'm kinda blazing through them. It's amazing what a break from anime will do for your enjoyment of it. 1st one I'd like to mention is Rurouni Kenshin, which is something I've been re-watching. I have a lot more appreciation for the show now that I understand the complexities of the characters and their ideologies. It's a great anime, it really is. Even when I couldn't understand it completely when I watched it as a teenager, it still had a major impact in how I live my life. Probably also attributed to my current interest in philosophy. Also got around to finishing One Punch Man. I picked this up while it was airing some time ago, but it was back when I had started losing interest in anime in general and I only watched the 1st few episodes. Great watch though. It gets a little more serious as the show goes on, but it's awfully fun from the start. Saitama might be stronger than Goku. And finally I got around to finishing Amagi Brilliant Park. Not gonna lie, this is really the only Fumihiko Shimo anime I've ever been disappointed in. Not that it was bad or anything, it was just... not that good. Can't really say I cared for the characters that much except for Latifa. It wasn't a painful watch at least.

I've been wanting to focus mostly on my list of unfinished anime and whatnot, but I decided to open up a spot for one show this season and started Re:Zero. This was highly recommended to me by a close friend, and I'm not disappointed in the slightest so far. Except for the 1st episode (which wasn't bad, but not great), this anime has been consistently engaging and surprisingly smart in a few ways despite my initial impression. I'll definitely be watching this with great anticipation. The characters are great, too. Edit: Randomly came across this. https://gifsound.com/?gifv=j3FCpMI&v=OvCpXeg6SyA

I suppose. Wouldn't want you to start stalking me now. Thankfully I did manage to get out of that wretched house. My grandma was becoming more aware of the desperate situation that my aunt was keeping my mom and I in, so she decided to take the both of us (and my sister) in. I don't know if I mentioned this yet, but there was a little bit of drama between my mom and the old guy that was living with my grandma (they aren't married), but because grandma was being more generous with rent than my aunt, my mom was able to save up and move out with my sister shortly after. My mom agreed that my staying back with grandma would have been for the best. Not just for my mental health either; she thought it was time to stop depending on me for so many things. So now I'm living with significantly less stress, my group therapy has helped me address a lot of the issues I've had with anxiety, and I'm just about ready to get my life on track. With my service in the military, I not only get to go to college for free, but I receive a stipend if I take a certain number of classes and keep my grades up. I've never had any difficulty with my grades in k-12, so it shouldn't be a problem for me.

Thanks, guys. My life is still kind of a mess, but I'm getting there. The medication I'm taking for anxiety is having an effect so far, but I still have nervous breakdowns on occasion. I'm watching anime again and thinking about dropping Runescape for another year till I get things together. I can't ever seem to get anything done when I'm gaming competitively.

Usually you have to download it from the manufacturer's website. What mouse are you using?

Have you tried lowering your DPI through software rather than through the client? I only tried boosting through the game client for a little while, but it felt kinda off to me. Edit: Also, welcome back to Osu! My left hand is still fucked, so I'm gonna have to see my doctor about it. Trying to get better with pure mouse to see how that goes.

That is really well drawn. I'd actually consider switching to it, myself. 10/10

It can taste pretty good if you buy some of the more expensive stuff. I personally like coconut rum mixed with pineapple juice. Hi, guys, I'm back. Kinda taking it easy for now, but I'll be going to college in fall. Taking a placement test in a week.

Holy crap, I can't stop laughing. Thanks for that.

Just bend really really far and then use this for pain relief. http://www.instructables.com/id/Brass-horn-repair-with-ice/

That's pretty generous compared to my dad. I got to play 1 hour a day on school days, and 2 hours a day on days off. >.< But yeah, Funya, I'm sorry to hear about all that trouble you're having. He's going about it the wrong way, but I can tell your father has good intentions when he tries to keep you off gaming. My dad was very much the same way. I encourage you to think positively. I know what you're going through is really frustrating and stressful, and you have every reason to be upset, but try as hard as you can to keep yourself from thinking negatively. I guarantee you (I learned this from group therapy), it will help.

That is an amazingly accurate way of describing how everyone discusses this election. Bravo!

Confession: My faith in humanity is even further in decline now. I'm seeing a wave of Trump supporters calling other people sheep. I really need to stay away from news sites for a while...

Damn, 140 pp. o.o That's almost 20 points ahead of my next leading score. This play brought me back to being under 40k again. Not my highest rank yet, but I'm getting there.

Eh, I probably am biased on this. Good rom-coms are hard to come by, which is why I hold this one in high regard. It was one of those shows that kept me consistently entertained and had a pairing I could actually give a damn about. The last few episodes had some fantastic direction too. Well, there was a little bit of an issue with character insertion in one area, but no big deal. I also kinda have personal disagreements with some of the anime on your list too (FMAB, Eureka 7, Shakugan no Shana, and Kanon 2006), and thought Mikakunin was more satisfying than them. I have one other friend who considers it special as well.

I'd also like to see Mikakunin de Shinkoukei added to the list. I consider this anime a hidden gem. It's surprisingly difficult to predict, highly enjoyable, and has a wonderful ending. It's the rare kind of rom-com you ever get to see anymore, and I've yet to find any new anime in the genre that compare to it. The story doesn't really conclude in the 1st season, but it is very satisfying. The male lead is really good in this too. http://myanimelist.net/anime/20541/Mikakunin_de_Shinkoukei

Hey, I might be wrong, and it could very well be general laziness, but that doesn't explain your lack of enjoyment from things that use to make you happy. You've also expressed certain strong feelings that can't be easily dismissed either. About your therapist, do you tell him the same things you tell us in this thread? Any individual in any kind of analysis field won't be able to tell if there's something wrong with you if you're not giving the full story. If you haven't done so yet, I'd highly encourage you to ask your therapist if you're going through depression. That way he can ask some clarifying questions and make a better analysis of your situation. And before your ask him, do a little bit of research on depression so you can explain your situations to him a little better. Contrary to what you might think, you actually can be happy while you're depressed. I'm the same way when I talk with most of my friends about stuff. The thing is, it is not normal to be in any kind of despair, because life really isn't that bad. When I was at a younger age, I had a certain sense of urgency when it came to studying, and I was always proactive in extracurriculars (even when I didn't have to be). I was on the fast track to success until I hit a speed bump. It wasn't until after I experienced what I did in the Army that I started losing motivation and my sense of self. I remember you saying how you use to excel in your studies before your parents stopped helping you. And they were right in doing so; by the time you get to high school, you should be mature enough to do things on your own. It's not an unusual idea at all. If you're failing now, it's not because your parents stopped helping you, and it might not even be your fault. There's a good chance that something else is barring you from progress. I found a thread started by a guy with a similar situation to yours. Give it a read. There are some insightful comments here that should help to improve your judgment on this. https://www.reddit.com/r/depression/comments/24loeh/part_of_me_thinks_im_depressed_part_of_me_thinks/

Depression is a pain in the ass. It really is. Just know that there will be moments where you'll make a complete turn-around and feel great for a little while. Depression is kind weird, in that it sometimes likes to go on vacation. During that temporary period of motivation, try to do as much as you can to improve certain aspects of your life. http://www.upworthy.com/a-comic-that-accurately-sums-up-depression-and-anxiety-and-the-uphill-battle-of-living-with-them

Check this out, no greens! RIP in pieces SS. Nice FC Ceris. I kinda have that on my list too lol. Hopefully one day. I'm still pretty inconsistent with my aim.
