Report 3miL's Profile

I'm working on fixing up my lists since I came back. LunaKaguya was me, when I came back, I decided to go with the name Kurumi.

We used to chat and play forum games. We even once watched Tayutama and would see who finished it first. I've gone by various names I know.

Hello

Ching chang

Us

MD existing was such a good excuse to not have DL be the power creep game, different experiences for different people. The fact they're closing in on being basically the same thing is just so pointless. Though I guess the end game of most gacha will be power creep to make money. Genshin and all the rest do it as well. It's just weird here because it's based on a real life card game which also has power creep to make money. Then they release a game based off the real power creep one that has less power creep, then add power creep to it as well. Just a weird sequence of events.

My friend got into Legacy of the Duelist before I started MD, so for a while I was the one asking him questions. Then he got me to try EDOpro for a bit, but then when I started MD my interest/knowledge way overtook his. My MD playing has been steadily decreasing, but if you hop on then ofc I'd be down for friendly duels. On the card collecting it's way less bullshit than DL, since you can just make cards you want directy, don't have to rely on packs. Generally the tutorial gems give enough to make one meta deck or close to it. Obviously Day 1 players have some advantage, but not that much. Like the 2020 cards they crafted in 2020 don't have much value when someone who starts tomorrow can just craft much stronger 2025 cards. So the 2020 player also has to craft the same 2025 cards you would. That's if you're meta chasing at least. I've only crafted like 3 decks in 3 years because I don't like most of them. That does mean I have like a million crafting dust.

A bit off topic, but I guess DL and MD are gachas. Have you been bombarded by Uma Musume propaganda since the game released for global? S2 is one of my top 10 anime of all time, so I have some interest based on that. And then discussion of it took over the Discord of a smaller game I play (Heaven Burns Red - from Key writer Jun Maeda). Then I saw a bunch of notable streamers playing it. I was trying to resist playing another gacha but I might end up diving in. Even normies who hate the anime style are enjoying the core gameplay loop and skipping all dialogue. So me who loves the characters would get dialogue I enjoy and also the good gameplay. At the very least I plan to watch S3 of the anime which I never got around to.

It's also funny to me that it came out in the west at the same time as Persona 5X, another gacha. In the west Persona 5 (game) was like 10x more popular than Uma Musume (anime). Yet for the gachas it's flipped, everyone has jumped on Uma Musume while even P5 diehards skip P5X. Persona 5 Royal is one of my fav games but I have 0 interest in the gacha. Though look up "Subway Slammer" memes if you haven't already, the game had a very funny first villain (after the serious first villain in the original P5).

Hey!

How have you been?

I am glad to hear you are happy with your job. I mean, I can understand how it can sometimes feel suffocating not having any free time and when things are too hard, they get too hard, but if I can judge by myself - I prefer being occupied. not having anything to do gives my brain a chance to just turn itself into this toxic wasteland :D. I still hope you get some free time here and there and that the challenging aspect of your work is to your benefits.

honestly as much as I like to joke about age, I don´t mind being this old at all :D. I have recently started to realize that I am REALLY fading away from the younger generation(s) and it feels nice. I can be all grumpy and say "in my day and age!..." yeah, yeah I should be a bigger person or whatever, but I´ll save it for matters that actually matter.

I like how you worded that:



You are right, I have definitely done that in the past. Deleting everything, leaving everything behind and believing that it is gonna help me. Mind you, I have never regretted deleting Facebook or Instagram but at my age, finding friends of any kind is hard enough so it is stopping me from giving up on any socials altogether. one day, perhaps. but that day has not come yet.

I still stupidly believe in giving people chances and going through mud to find those who stick. Most of the time, everybody leaves which actually gives me joy. Seeing people leaving the online space and starting life ..... I have seen it countless times and while in the past it broke my heart because "I was left on my own again" these days, I am just genuinely happy. miss them, sure but thanks God there are still people who can grab their life and actually live it.

ah, I remember I was really into it, of course. who would have missed it? all those remakes of the Ring, the Grudge, Dark Water, whatever else Americans remade as well as their own movies as the Omen or Carrie. I must admit I have watched the remade Omen for sure. To my defense I think it was given to me by a friend on an USB or something. I remember having it at home, not remember torrenting it so it must be the case.

One day, I´ll bring myself to watch movies again but it might not be within any recent years.

I have noticed you watched Vinland. how did you like it? opinions, opinions? fav scenes? characters?

any news? any topics to discuss?

all the best
lots of health and good stuff to you and family

Talaga?

What the heck kind of nickname is that, lol?x'D

Yeah, I have it in physical. Its a 2 volume series and doesn't seem to have a lot of attention on it, but maybe you could look up Seven Seas website and see if they still have it? Iirc they are the ones who published it here in print. I'd send you pics of the covers, but unfortunately those are in one of the many cardboard boxes holding the stuff I'm done reading/not reading atm and I don't know which box has them, nor do I want to open a bunch of boxes to check rn..
Seems like these places have vol.1:
https://sevenseasentertainment.com/books/scarlet-vol-1/
And here's for vol.2:
https://sevenseasentertainment.com/books/scarlet-vol-2/

I got mine from Indigo since they are the local book chain but idk if they deliver outside of the country.

As an aside, love your Aria profile (and also the Illya one you had a few days ago), lol!<3 X'39 When do you find the time to change your profile and make it so intricate each time, lol?xD

Hey!

How are you?

My condolences to the family.

How is your job?

Did you have fun on Father´s day? hope you celebrated well. My father was away so I only phoned him back on June 15th.

socializing
funnily for like almost a week I felt like socializing was not my thing and was about to delete my Disrcord and MAL and just hide in a cave. typical social burn out. nothing really happened, nothing that could justify the selfish behaviour (selfish because in the end, what if one person ends up caring?) but yeah, here I am. a prisoner of my poor life choices (like socializing online instead of being better at it offline), but some people just end up being ghosts of the Internet.

AI
no doubt it can make life easier, the problem is a lot of people see the simpler side and go "nah, not gonna bother to do all that work, I´ll just go with it and hope that it is not totally wrong" but hey, humans and their laziness. this is how we are gonna die.
even at universities these days, they are done with fighting with AI, they just ....... accept it because what else is there to do?

racism
but that was not what I was even talking about, the context was quite different, but fair enough. I won´t be an apologist. if I didn´t get my point across successfully and sounded racist. that is indeed something I am apologizing for! tbh, Europeans are quite tone-deaf in many instances. there is a lot to learn. especially where I live, one would be surprised what things people can say and be surprised it would be considered racist elsewhere. I am not proud of that.

wait, you like horror? just anime or films as well???

all the best
lots of good stuff to you and dear ones

Ahahaha nice then. But yeah, I don't imagine how much efforts it takes to do a full quality animation like that, I'm genuinely surprised it even exist. I wonder if AI will be able to generate full animation like that too. Also I heard that now he's working on a parody of "Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian" https://myanimelist.net/anime/54744/Tokidoki_Bosotto_Russia-go_de_Dereru_Tonari_no_Alya-san

The anime is good but yeah you're not wrong too, it's another story of "very popular and outgoing gal going out with the nerd with unpopular hobbies" but it's well done and genuinely touching. (Not to mention all of the ecchi aspect).

I mean in the US it's a drug related issue in most cases, yeah there are streets full of heavily drugged people, but well drugs and weapons violence is nothing new sadly. For Paris it depends on where you are, there are some terrible arrondissements (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrondissements_of_Paris) and very clean and wealthy ones. But you have some places that are full of migrants and are becoming a refugee camp full of tents and trash everywhere.

But Eupho is mainly just some tease and light drama, there was nothing too heavy in the anime unlike Koe no Katachi where it speaks about suicide etc.

Let’s go to Korea

Seikon no Qwaser is a throwback, one of the more random things I watched. This was one of the first pics I saw of it, I think it was what MAL used as the thumbnail for the manga at the time. Then that hardcore looking guy spends half the time sucking on tits lol. But I still like how his visual design stands out from most MCs, he even crossdresses in S2. MC is often a pretty big consideration about whether I start a VN/anime or not. I mean at the end of the day the girls are gonna be cute basically no matter what, so may as well have another tiebreaker.

Since Mashiro adapted an 18+ VN and reused the VAs they're gonna be niche. But the VN was really good, and the remake had pretty high production values so the characters also looked good. I like Otoboku only because of the premise, but it is slow paced and dry for sure.

Nouvelles is in DL? Take 175 of me being surprised how fast DL is moving, felt like just yesterday that was added to MD. The power level is going up like crazy, I guess they're committing to rush duels being the slow paced game mode. Though MD sometimes has flashback mini events (usually not main events since they use those to shill new cards sadly). Most recent one was 2008 meta. I just used the Lightsworn loaner deck and had some pretty good matches. Even DL's power level is approaching above what I like, so it's nice to just drop in for these flashback events.

Are we gay if we miss a random guy in the afternoon?
