I do like all of that stuff about Phantom Trigger too with how the characters are all likable and how they weren't trying to recreate the OG cast. I don't think there was anything that I was bothered by but its been a long time since I read the VNs.

I have noticed that each vol focuses on specific characters but I'm only on Vol 4, and I checked to see and I haven't even read that since May of last year lol. That's funny that Arisaka's volume isn't a full number. She always seemed to have some issues every time it tried focusing on her in the other volumes too but they didn't dive deep or really bother to fix her issues too much.

That's shitty that your state has had a big outbreak spike but at least it sounds like you guys are taking things more seriously than in good ol' America. I don't go out enough but there's definitely a lot of idiots who don't care about the pandemic and I live in Cali so I've been having to deal with idiots along with the fires (though it looks like it's calmed down around my city) and the billions of protests that go on nowadays over unfair racial stuff involving police.
Besides that, I work at shitty Walmart and they they do the bare minimum and barely care about covid and the workers and I work in a kinda ghetto-ish area so that don't help. I've been healthy enough for the most part at least so that's good. But yeah, I don't go out enough so covid hasn't really been affecting my life very much especially since I still have to work so it's almost as if I've been doing the exact same things before covid. Stay safe out there.

Nice to see you're relatively caught up with most of the Grisaia series. My memory's kinda hazy with a lot of the VNs but I'm sure I'll remember more if things are brought up from the VNs. I read the first 3 PT volumes and started the 4th but never finished it for some reason. I've been stuck having to work so I don't have the luxury of endless free time but I should really get back to getting up to date with PT. Whatchu think of everything otherwise?

Well, I can't completely confirm if the heater's on but it's possible that the aircon is on, but barely set to a cool temp.

Yeah, being away from the hype and weekly ep wait can make shows more enjoyable.

It's kinda better that way to just play/watch things when you feel for it instead of doing it in order of anticipation.

HAHAHA that's a good one! My workplace is so fucking cheap that the heater is practically on at all times. Ofc the heater isn't as hot during the summer, but it's definitely not cool through most of the store.

It always sucks thinking about how much potentially cool shit you might miss but it's so hard to catch up when there's so much of it and so little time! I really miss all the free time and motivation I had, but I'm veeeeerry close to quitting my job so hopefully that'll change. How ya like Akame ga Kill though? I recall liking it but I think I watched that before I became critical with anime.

Nope, I rarely game anymore. I've mainly only played the Grisaia spinoff VNs and played like, one game lol.

Kaguya-sama isn't bad but the show is most definitely a comedy, so if the comedy ain't to your liking then I doubt you'll like the rest of the show. I also doubt the show's formula changes after the last 6 eps considering I've gotten up to the first 6 eps. So I'd say try out a few eps and if the comedy ain't to your liking, then you might as well drop it after awhile. The characters aren't bad though from what I recall.

It's already hitting high 90s to low 100s so I'm already over it! And then I'm trying to keep my AC bill as low as I can which gets tough in those situations, especially since the sun hits my room during peak hours, so I'm lucky if I'm at work even though I hate that place lol.

Your backlog is as big as always I see. It's too tough to catch up during these adult years!

I'll look into those when I'm not lazy about it. I only watch seasonals these days, but there's some I could rec. The Promised Neverland, Happy Sugar Life, My Roommate is a Cat, and Senryuu Shoujo are all pretty decent. The first 2 are interesting and are decently executed for its themes. And the last 2 are nice Slice of life's if you're looking for one.

There hasn't been many good animes within the past 3 seasons from what I can recall, but I barely watch anything these days.

Life's been decent for the most part. It's snake season and I'm already over the heat! Otherwise, I've been slaving away at work (and hating my job as each day goes by!) and been rather lazy for the most part. Nothing big has really happened and I've been in quite a slump for quite a long time now, so I'm not doing too much in my free time. And nope, still haven't started Danganronpa.

How about you?

Sounds about right. I usually pull out the grandpa jokes when talking to older people and it's efficient enough and at least has me engaged, even if only a little. But then they still manage to drag the convo towards politics, sports, news, and the olden days, and I can't find myself to say anything about it or even care that much, and it's even worse when they go on for a long time. What should've been a short interaction usually doubles in length.
Some of my coworkers are notorious for being like that, but instead of grandpa jokes and talk about news or whatever, it's usually about stuff that they're into and when you talk to them or answer their question, they usually don't pay any attention to what you say since they're busy with their world and what they have to say so the interaction is completely one-sided. :')

Danganronpa has already has been cursing and haunting my dreams D:

Sometimes sacrifices have to be made

Nope, and it prob won't happen even when you do see this message too lol.

I feel ya with Christmas gatherings being pretty boring. I went to my friend's grandparents house this Christmas and besides me and my friend, there were 5 other people and I was literally falling asleep because they were just talking and I was just sitting there, and they were all older people and older people are pretty notorious for talking too long. Talking can be fun, but those were definitely topics that I don't really have interest in nor amuse me much.

Nah, I've been pretty tired lately to even do much in my free time, but it'll definitely be awhile till I get to Danganronpa.

you still alive?

Well, it wasn't really planned out as it was more of just an idea that was proposed, though the girl in question was asked about it and was willing to hang out at least. But it's not really a date, it's a thing to see if either of us gain some interest in each other so it kinda is a date at the same time I guess. Also, my friend and his girlfriend will be hanging out with us since I guess it would be a bit awkward if it was just me and her. Anyways, a damn day to get together still hasn't been planned (it's mainly my friend's girlfriend that needs to plan since she's the only one that has contact with her friend) so I may need to try taking the initiative soon. And no worries, I'll make sure I don't get spoiled for Danganronpa D:

Man, America sure likes to come up with a bunch of random shit then, though all the stuff does make things more fun u suppose, even though it can fuck with your wallet. I think both Thanksgiving and Christmas are holidays where you can have just about the same amount of people come and visit, so it's just a circumstancial thing on why people may or may not come down on one holiday like work or stuff like that.

Ooh so I lucked out on the sale then. Good ol' black Friday was looking out for me. I'm sure I'll like the games regardless though it may be a long time till I start it. Been both busy and extremely demotivated to really do anything on my free time unfortunately.

Thanks for the order of sorts. I may skip buying UDG unless I can find it for free but I'll definitely watch the anime after playing 1 and 2.

Thanks. Date should be soon hopefully.
Sounds like you live in a pretty good location for the most part which is good. Where I live now, it's practically a mini city itself which is cool. Lots of shops and places to go to nearby but not close to all the action I believe, so imma like it here. I'm planning on living here for a long time if i can. My initial plan was to live with my best friend and now that that's the case and that we got our own place, I don't plan on moving anywhere else unless I get married or something like that.
Yeah, I'm not too fond of casually traveling very far for a get together, but since going on vacation or visiting friends/family is very limited and hard nowadays, I'd prob give in and travel if I get to see a lot of people I haven't seen in awhile. Is it uncommon for people in Australia to get together for Thanksgiving? Do you even celebrate Thanksgiving there for that matter?

I just looked on steam a few minutes ago to see if Danganronpa was on sale and it was since it's still Black Froday/Cyber Monday week I guess. I got 1 thru 3 for 55% off so it went from $99.97 to $44.97, and even though I don't think I'll play it any time soon, I don't think I'll see a deal like that any time soon afterwards so I went and bought it. I'm pretty easy to amuse so I'm sure I'll like series

Haven't really been up to much. I'm about to move to an apartment with my friend which'll be cool since I'll gain some freedom again, since I live with him and his family. Only downside is that I'll have more shit to pay again but it shouldn't be bad. Otherwise, I haven't really done anything interesting though I'm gonna be meeting some girl who's friend's with my friend's girlfriend some time after I move to my new place so hopefully that'll go well lol. What have you been up to besides dying?

I haven't played any Danganronpa games but I definitely will in the future. Too bad it seems to be a bit expensive for me rn so I'll have to wait for it to be on sale.

I don't think I had a phone plan that gives me a new phone after some time. I ended up getting a new phone a few days ago. My now old phone has way too much performance issues especially for how short of a time I've had it for and it was unbearable so I gave in and got a new phone instead of waiting any longer. So I'm now back to iPhones.

I'm into like no MP games at all lol. Barely been playing any games in general for that matter. You still go on that one site and play that Pokemon vs thing, whatever it's called?

Yeah, the people most likely haven't even opened the game but have downloaded it since I've done that with some games too that'll give you a "started the game" type achievement.

Nice. Random disconnects isn't too bad a price to pay especially if you aren't too hardcore with using your laptop.
Sadly my phone is trash already despite only having it for probably 5 months so I'll have to upgrade once it gets completely unbearable. I usually get iPhones but decided to get something new to try it out (I got a Samsung J7) and thought it'd be good but I was highly mistaken so I'll end up going back to iPhone after this since at least that has good performance.

Multiplayer games are usually the main ones that are fun to play for a long while even after 100%'ing a game. I've definitely had a fair share of games that I've spent many hours on.

Stats are fun to look at. I've noticed most Nep games will have an achievement where you simply only have to load the game up but not everyone has it which is kinda interesting how some people don't even start the game up at the least
