Report Playcool's Profile

Hey, guess what, I played CS3, I managed to put in 120+ hours in it by squeezing free time while working (usually at my mornings)

my thoughts are here: https://myanimelist.net/blog/CrimsonWanderer

Btw, I'm playing Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart, it got ported to PC so I will be finally experiencing it on PC for the first time (natively without the need of emulators) I sure hope this means PS3 emulation will take a revamp for ratchet games, then I may get back to my Crack in Time replay without having to experience several crashes lol.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Lol, I hadn't checked my profile in a while and I just realised that you left a comment on my profile 4 months ago. Anyway, I am glad you liked Hachiman and oregairu, sorry for the late reply.

Hey there have you continued reading Girl From Random Chat? I was thinking of maybe continuing where I left off but was wondering if its gotten any better lol

1. Let MLA die bro, 2 seasons was enough pain, it missed the hype train long ago. it was bound to be unpopular and generic.
I was desperate to see a MLA adaptation, producers think they can cash grab with any trash, they just want the initial money, not the lung run money.
I rather have a well written anime with developed characters with personalities not some cannon fodder with a name, if I watched MLA as a non VN reader I would have been confused and not invested in any cannon fodder.
Corporations think they can reduce everything to simple numbers and profit, they might be right, but only in the short run, we must cancel anime so animators can have a decent work life and studios to produce some quality, maybe I'll try some chinese anime, this industry (japanese) has too much content already, also anime is not appealing to me anymore.

2.The world was crazy since forever, there was always conflict, this fake peace will end someday because the global warming will push poor people affected to leave for better living conditions and regimes like those from the last century will raise, also the far right wing political parties are on the rise trying to push those people back where they come from. China is trying to become the next Japan (the losing country, 2 times nuked, yet it managed in 90s to reach the peak) no one and no country is liking to be a slave forever, just like parents who want a better life for their children. The problem I think is not the globalization but the system itself, the only thing that matters is money and as long money will be no.1 everything else will be secondary, because people like me and you are not at the top and we have no interest in making money from this kind of politics (exploiting others for personal gain until someones says no and wars ensues) meanwhile we distract with meaningless consumerism, be me: oh! I can't wait to work my ass off just like people 100 years ago to buy things I don't need to impress people that don't care about me.

3. I mean I could try learning some programming but I can't do it since I have pie in the sky goals and no incentive plus I'm tired of doing things alone, I need a community, which the current world kinda fails to provide, I can meet new people but only through niche interests, let's say dance but I'm not interested in it and I see no purpose in doing it.
I can't pursue finding a purpose anymore I'm apathetic and demoralized, I don't need a shrimp, the whole society needs. (https://newint.org/columns/essays/2016/04/01/psycho-spiritual-crisis/ ) The only thing I care about is getting strong in the gym, I have no progress because of my mental health but at least I can get rid of stress. I am forced to choose between things I don't want so I choose not to chance anything because is easier.
I went to a shrimp last year, the process is kinda difficult, it takes time to find what's wrong, sometimes the symptoms might be obvious but the cause not, I would not be in this situation if the world would not be a such a hostile place to live, compared to 40 years ago is more comfortable to live now but worse for the mental health, there is a loneliness epidemic, which has an impact on your body, if you think life sucks you will live less and have higher chances to die of some disease. The problem back then was: you don't have enough resources, now you have resources but you can't stand out, the world keeps asking for the best and before you reach that point the goal point changes and you lose progress, is like battling a boss whose HP randomly gets higher.
If you need free therapy resource I can provide some channels: https://www.youtube.com/@jennifermayph.d.2761 this one is really good, a hidden gem, there are a lot of resources for personal skills, meditations and the stories you tell yourself. https://www.youtube.com/@HealthyGamerGG this one is good too, indian wisdom and psychology explained in game system content.

4.You must be crazy not wanting to dedicate your time to MMO to become a pro and get money, why would you want a hobby instead of another job *sarcasm*
True I agree, up to some point nothing is damaging, a healthy 4 hours during week time and 1 weekend a month for a mmo with friends or offline game isn't bad imo. I've experienced that with Diablo 4 beta version, I played it 3 days, enjoyed it but I'm not seeing myself buying it, trying the game was a nice experience, but logging each day after work and each free day, nope.
I quit ( not because I didn't enjoyed it but because I thought I would be addicted which it happened ) Lost Ark first time for few months, but I got back and spent nearly 600 hours there ( the community is bad and it gatekeeps end game content) it was fun but failing some content/ seeing some lower level character outdamaging me by 100% (despite having higher item level) because I don't have the right engravings it's frustrating. I could get it again and simply enjoy it and carry some lowbies but getting stuck in the farming loop 20+ hours every week and barely having time for anything else is a nightmare.

5.NGL I wanted to try Genshin Impact, got Honkai Impact 3rd instead on mobile, I have it installed and uninstalled it after 2 months (the actual time I'm taking to write this reply XD) it's boring, generic waifu collecting gacha game.
Nowadays I play only fate grand order EN and JP on mobile, but thankfully I got what I've wanted and I play it for fun when there is nothing better to do, I just log in for rewards or multitask most of the game time. I am so detached I could delete $500+ worth of servants and not feel a thing, sunk cost fallacy bias won't affect me like before, while I'm at it I recommend you a book; "Thinking fast and slow" by Daniel Kahneman. it's about logic fallacies and cognitive biases, for me it was a bit difficult to finish it fast (I spend nearly half a year reading it)
I'm at the age where new and memorable experiences are rare and I rather waste my time with anything besides games, I could always do some stupid risky things like bungee jumping, if some near to death experience won't be memorable idk what it might be.
Meaningless existence I had in uni and HS, besides mental health issues, I wish I could've quit games but asking for therapy would've been a burden on my parents and I wasn't quite that agreeable person back then (which would require more money and sessions), binging anime/games/internet was the fastest and less uncomfortable way to deal with my mental health issues and loneliness, but wasted youth, missed opportunities and so on was the price I've paid.

6.I don't know as much people I'd like to know, some of my so called friends (more like acquaintances) might be busy but have no incentive, I've distanced myself, I'm sicked and tired of trying to keep relationships for the sake of keeping them, while I put 90% of effort they don't even reciprocate the 10%, I'm not mad at them but I won't repeatedly push any boundaries anymore, if they want the same thing they will do the same, if this is what some people are offering and I won't insist for more plus I became good at I doing things alone, also I've become homo economicus, the only thing that motivates me (in relationships and trying new things) is the economic value of it. The media says: "the people are selfish , self centered creatures driven by economic advantage" well this repeated lie became truth.

7.I gave up, it's just no point in trying and asking for the ideal the world pushes onto me. I wait to get sick or something and everything to end, the pit of desperation I'm in killed the last bit of hope I've had, I'm not sad/mad anymore, I'm indifferent to the extend I'm indifferent to my indifference.

Happy belated birthday

Hey man thanks for letting me know so thoughtful of you :)

Hey there! Actually I haven't read Random Chat for long time now. Last thing I recall, something messed up happened to Yuri. Only reason I stopped reading was because there wasn't anymore translated chapters. But I can't say I was liking the direction it was heading unfortunately.

Boas,
Por aqui vai tudo bem e contigo?

Então que animes andas a assistir e assististe nos últimos tempos? Algum jogo porreiro que tenhas passado?
Como não falámos há tanto tempo (há mais de 1 ano), a ver se te mando uma mp para falarmos melhor do que andámos a fazer.

That's a lot of familiar names.

Have you played Valkyria Chronicles 2 & 3? Gameplay-wise they are a bit weaker than 1 & 4, but story is just as good. Among XCOM games I've only played XCOM: Enemy Unknown (the one from Firaxis), but I didn't like it very much. Xenonauts, which was released a few years after, was much more to my liking.
Persona series and Nier Replicant are the games I'm considering trying but currently on low priority. The Witcher 3 - played it for about 8 hours and that's it. Same as books which I've tried reading many years ago the story and characters don't click with me. Doom 2016 was a nice game overall but not very memorable in any way. Haven't played the rest with the exception of Skyrim. This one had a similar issue to Witcher, but after discovering mods I've probably sunk into it more than 1000 hours.

Hey, no worries. Like always, just reply whenever and I'll do the same. :)

The good thing about Tonikawa Cawaii is that you won't miss out too much on the plot till much later on, since it's pretty much 90% SoL and 10% plot.

Hopefully the Solo Leveling anime will be better than Tower of God's adaptation. A high production budget would be nice, for starters, and even better if they can get an all-star cast.

I'm personally really looking forward to Oshi no Ko's anime adaptation this coming season. The manga is brilliant so hopefully the anime does it justice.

Boas, realmente já lá vai quase um ano!

Acredites ou não, ainda não continuei a ler WA2 desde que te enviei o último comentário em Maio do ano passado. Não tenho tido muito apetite para ler VNs nos últimos tempos. Por outro lado o meu apetite por manga aumentou imenso, assim como a minha velocidade de leitura. No que diz respeito a animes, tenho estado focado apenas em escolher alguns animes cada temporada para ir vendo semanalmente, e de vez em quando volto a ver alguns dos meus favoritos.

Sim, Fruits Basket é um dos melhores dramas que existe em animes, na minha opinião. A Tohru, de forma superficial, parece ser nada mais do que uma protagonista genérica de mangas Shoujo, mas a caracterização dela vai bastante longe e a personalidade dela ajuda bastante a explorar os temas de Fruits Basket, nomeadamente a ideia de aceitar outras pessoas (e ajudá-las a aceitarem-se a si mesmas) independentemente do seu passado.

Hey, so how is your Trails journey?

it's been awhile. Nice to hear from you again.

a lot has happened these past months..

______________

history

yeah, it's a portuguese who discovered my country Philippines. From what we've been taught in school, several spanish in the fleet were angry that they were being lead by a portuguese, and Magellan had to survive a mutiny. Then their food almost ran out as they crossed the pacific ocean, fortunately they survived that too (lol). To make things short.. they arrived here in our islands and befriended the chieftain of Cebu who is Humabon. Humabon was very impressed with spain's military, so he agreed to be baptized. But there was a little island named Mactan where a chieftain named Lapulapu lived.. he is enemies with Humabon. Magellan had no choice except go to war with Lapulapu... during the battle, it was low tide, the spanish ships could not get near enough to offer support fire. Magellan was hit with an arrow, and was ganked to death by enemies - spanish soldiers and allied natives tried to rescue him but they too were killed.

he's an invader, but I admire this guy, and I believe he fully deserves to have the shrine.

Three pc's

properly maintained and all in working condition. One reason is I'm serious on backups. It's not backed up if it's not in three separate machines! (LOL). I'm only half joking. Many important data are redundant across the three pc's, and the most important data are even backed up in flash drives.

yeah, got an RTX 3050 around Feb 2022, I intend to keep this for at least 3-5 years. Mostly play Genshin Impact, and some e-sports titles like King of Fighters XV and Street Fighter V. The 10600K partnered with 3050 is more than enough for these games.

oh, and even the potato pc here in the house has a handful of games in it. This thing almost 7 years old. It's real age is probably a lot older, since I got it second hand. It's retired, and just for storage. But I put in a few games, because a pc without games is too sad.



0:00 - 0:19 CPU-Z to show Q9500, GPU-Z to show the 1650, and HWMonitor to show that temps are normal.
1:33 - Street Fighter V - playable at 900p
4:55 - Xenon Racer - playable at 1080p. Sorry for my horrible driving skills. :p

50 is guaranteed I think. Dunno beyond that since Takehaya is in not good condition for anything longer.

yeah you dont need to learn japanese lol ya just gotta spend time on things you like

hope so, I'm always interested in talking to ppl

yeah dieting, fasting and working out is the best combination aside from taking steroids

ok lol
