Hey, really sorry for the late reply! May has been a pretty busy month for me.

Great picks! Dostoevsky is such an incredible author. I have two of his books, Crime and Punishment and The Idiot. I still haven’t finished The Idiot, though, it’s like 600 pages long, haha. (^^ ")

I totally get it! There’s something so satisfying and calming about holding a physical book and flipping through the pages. Plus, it’s a nice break from screens after being in front of them all day. According to some libraries and even Google, you only need 500 books to be considered a library.

Haha, yeah, I know what you mean. The list of things to buy keeps growing, so it gets harder to decide what to get first. :D

That’s pretty cool, old PlayStation RPGs. I feel like having the physical copy of a game adds to the experience. There’s just something about taking the CD out of the case and popping it into the console that feels way more exciting than just downloading it.

And yeah, it’s not just harder to find physical copies, they’re also getting way more expensive. Everyone’s buying digital versions now, but the physical ones are so much cooler. Take Cyberpunk 2077, for example. My physical copy came with postcards, stickers, and a full map of the game, you definitely don’t get that when you buy it online.

Oh, that’s cool! I wouldn’t say I collect fragrances either, but I do have a few that I really like. I try to keep the bottles too, but I always forget and end up throwing them away or accidentally breaking them. Just last month, one of my favorite perfumes fell off the shelf and shattered. :\
Do you have any favorite scents or perfumes bottles shapes?

I completely agree, having physical copies of things really makes them feel like they’re a part of you. Whether it’s a book, a figure, a music CD, a video game, or a poster, it’s nice to have something tangible to connect to those memories. These days, everything is digital, and it almost feels like people are intentionally trying to forget the physical stuff. I still have some Monster High dolls from when I was younger, and it’s nice to have them around as little pieces of my childhood.

I absolutely love collecting physical things. My friends even call me a hoarder, haha. I collect manga, books, figures, dolls, music albums, stickers, and just about anything I find cute or that interests me. As for hobbies I really enjoy reading manga and books I like the idea of taking my time with it or being about to read at my own pace which with anime you have to watch a 25+ minute episode to get the point while with manga it take much less time and you can read even more chapters and volumes :).

I just ordered a copy of The Stranger by Albert Camus, so once that arrives, I’ll probably binge-read it. ^_^

Hi! It's nice to meet you too! Have a lovely day! :)

Oh cool! What kind of books and video games do you collect? Manga? Novels? What games have you been really into collecting lately? I think it’s cool that you collect physical games, especially nowadays when most people just buy them digitally through the PlayStation Store or Xbox Game Store. :)

Same! You get a breath of fresh air and if the weather is pleasant (just like in my video, got lucky on that one since it was raining earlier that morning) it somewhat mimics the atmosphere of a Japanese summer festival

Haha that's still really cool though! :D it payed off cause now you got this super large collection of different cards. ^_^

Best of luck to the both of us then!

To my knowledge, Switzerland has 2 anime conventions. One in Lausanne and another one in Basel. As I mentioned in the beginning of the video, I filmed one in Basel last year but I had such high expectations for the OP (film some running scenes in different locations) and wasn't sure if I had enough footage that I ended up not posting it on YouTube. If I'm lucky, I'll be able to film another one next year cosplayed as Okabe in Basel and I will make sure that I get enough footage as well as manage my expectations for the video like the one I just published.

That was my 4th time at an anime convention, ever since I first started going to them back in April of 2022. It was a lot more open compared to the ones in Montreux, a municipality further east of Switzerland (still on the French side), that was pretty compact in a somewhat "dimly lit" building with not much outdoor stalls. The one in Basel is much larger in terms of indoor surface area and has a neat, circular outdoor section in the middle of the building.

Hello, nice to meet you too! Thanks for accepting my friend request. The number of cards on your page is really impressive! ^_^

The bingo list was a shared idea with my friend of mine, the one that you see in the video, in order to make the convention more interesting not only for the viewer but also for ourselves. Thanks for sharing!

I appreciate the suggestion. Normally, and I will continue to do this for the rest of my vlogs, I let the video do the talking. Very few commentary and mainly the ambiance of the place that is being filmed, with a few shots of food or interesting things that I find (with the exception of certain activities that require me to film myself). This video that I made was completely outside of my territory as I am not used to simply approaching people that I don't know, let alone taking photos with them. However, I have done so in the past since I am fully immersed with all the fellow members of the anime community which makes it easier to just randomly approach someone. I'll see what. I shall see if I can implement your suggestion the next time I go to such a convention in order to:
a) develop my confidence in speaking with strangers
b) improve my videos in ways I wouldn't have thought possible

This anime convention, named Polymanga, took place in Lausanne which is a city in the west side of Switzerland. Around an hour and 20 minutes from Geneva which is further west, closer to the border with France.

Thanks a lot, I really appreciate it! Would you mind telling me what you enjoyed the most in the video?

I will gladly do that! The editing has been going well so far! Just a few more things to record, edit and polish until I publish it.

I filmed a video at an anime convention that I went to yesterday. It's going to take some time but I shall edit it as best as I can in order to publish it by the end of this week!

No problem, pleased to meet you too! Likewise, I hope things are going great for you at the moment!

hey, thx for accepting, nice to meet you too! have a good one ˆᗜˆ
