1. maybe they don't like more money ? /s
I can't remember well but I think Yoshimune Kouki said he wanted another format (long time ago), 2 longer seasons, movies. MLA missed the chance long time ago, this bothers me most, it could've have been the original isekai with mature elements but no, it missed its chance.
I'm indifferent to it now, is a shame, but I'm too tired to care, back then I would've wished I could hyperfixate on the idea that I can do better than a studio and animate MLA from scratch.
I hate watching airings too (unless I am extremely busy and I can't keep up with them), I usually start watching them when there are 4 episodes left, one ep/week is too slow, I can't binge watching like I used to back in the old days, I barely watch 2 episodes now in the same time I used to watch a whole season lol

I can't cancel anything. It's not like I am buying Blu-rays and pour all my money into anime industry. Most I can do is touch grass and distance from digital escapism.

I don't pay much attention nowadays to new anime unless is something related to a completed anime or something that grabs my attention ( Bocchi the Rock was the best new entry on my list from the 4 new anime that entered my list the past 2 years)

I've seen a lot of chinese anime in seasonal anime category and I've thought the boom was justified.

2. I know, but I don't really like having this easy life when kids are still slaves just like in 1800s, also while some celebs pollute more in one hour than me in entire year. There is a finite amount of trash that can be put under the rug before it starts to get really stinky. Chaos was bound to happen sooner or later and I'm afraid it can be much worse.
Putin's rival( the one who got unalived) also had some imperialist ambitions, for the West anyone who is 99% Putin is better than Putin, just a product of a capitalist country with no democracy.
Shame on China, it's USA job to do what it wants how it wants, not fair./s

I agree but I also blame capitalism for the failings of democracy, because you can't value a decent human life while valuing profit, with a large numbers of educated people with non-superficial values you can't make huge profits, its easier the see things in retrospective.

I agree, there is a line between enjoying something and being nuts.
Idk free will doesn't really exists, it's just some fairy tale, maybe the next generations will fix the individualistic culture ( you can do it by because you have free will, you don't need anyone) that rotted our society.

3. I just want to chill now. well said my brain won't suddenly surpass thousands of years of evolution just because I think is the right thing to do.
I used to follow a streamer girl that made a twitch account and build a community because she was alone, the feeling of loneliness was a strong motivator. Other than "is good for me" and "I should do it" there is no other motivation, the current life doesn't give me the life I want but it gives me what I need, it would be nice if I had the other things ( like a better meaningful job, friends, a partner) but I don't want to put the effort for them, if push comes to shove I will do it, otherwise I won't, I'm done suffering by wishful thinking.
I need a community mostly to keep new habits.
Becoming VA sounds nice, it's something I've kinda wanted but never pursued, now with AI it kinda died.

I agree but also I don't, pulling myself by the bootstraps won't work past a certain point, I just have to figure out how to change this society, meanwhile I can't even make friends or get a partener lol.
My goal is to make my mooscles bigger, I know what you say, is the same for me, besides gym, things like dancing, programming, doing stuff I should be doing I don't understand why, just like some german philosopher said: "He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how" and I gave up on finding a why.

(The good old friction between real and ideal, man F/SN sure is a masterpiece) Most of my choices are between 2 things I don't want. Some context would be trying new things I have no interest in just to meet new people, moving out because it will "magically fix my problems" and so on.
Loving myself was hard until I discovered "screw society's and people's expectations" this also fixed my low self esteem, it got a boost seeing how dumb are people around me, it made me more antisocial though. I haven't done everything but why do something that doesn't come from me. Now that I am clear of biases and living in contradictions I would say yes most of your questions.

Depends on what you aim for and what you are willing to sacrifice to achieve it.
No matter what shrink I will go to it won't fix anything, my environment enables me to do the same things, of course I will retreat in video games, porn and other things because I have literally nothing I want to do where I live, if I want to do something it is either during job time or 100km away.
I've learned that some people have mental issues and they are fine with them, they discover them later when they see a shrink, but not on the 1st appointment, later on, 6th+
After going deeper in the self help and psychology area I've come to conclusion that there are not that many real mental issues, freaking commies brother, they want to make us into cattle to work and consummate, is just living in the late capitalism, that's why my issues aren't solely mine but present in a certain demographic with similar background (most of people my age are more or less in the same situation, no gf, rotting away, hoping for the big change, literally my shrink told me single people come to the office because they are single, being single is the newest mental disease). Just give people enough money not to worry about housing/starvation/health and you fix 90% of their problems.
I learned a lot from those channels, things I could not pinpoint 1 on 1, kinda like group therapy. you can always book an appointment if you are willing to spend the money, but it take time to find the right one and time to find what's wrong, you can ask for some tests they might help you.
what might help besides a shrimp is a person with a higher EQ and the ability to listen and ask the right question, which is not guaranteed in a shrimp, they have issues too, they can't force change on nobody, some visits won't fix the loneliness pandemic caused by social media and easy distractions everywhere.

4.Seems nice, kinda makes me want to buy it, play for like 20 hours with Klendathu drop on the background but I won't. I'm not a big fan of shooters/competitive games, I used to play hack'n'slash and adventure games like FF.

The grind never ends if you play the said games, but if you play competitive games you need to train, I don't want to train after work, I just need to blow some steam not to rage at some 14 yo that plays all day and daddy and mommy bought him the latest tech to have advantage, I could buy the said tech, but I don't want to.

5.a.
I'm not sure I fully understand, waifus are fun bro, if is some make believe stuff like 5 minutes, thinking how it would be to meet a person like that irl, but past that is just as you said + cringe af.
You forgot the people that have some weird para-social relationships with some streamers/celebrities, is like they are in a cult. Idiots that take their self esteem from something that doesn't even remotely care about them.
I was thinking about attending some comic convention, but seeing all the cosplayers I thought: hell no (I appreciate the effort and money they put in their costumes though), I used to be somewhat a weebo myself but I never acted on it, enjoying something and making it your whole personality is something I don't want to get into. Seeing people use japanese casually and talking kawaii and stuff is cringing me to death, kudos to them for having the courage to do that.

waifu oppai go *boing* , gotta appreciate the art and the effort put into 3D models
I wish my fried monkey brain would decide that watching adult content (the real issue) is not worth it, that shit takes up so much time, but it doesn't work like that mix that with being alone most of the time, no bigger purpose and it's gg.

5.b. I wish I could use my phone time wisely like you do.
Nowadays I play fgo just for the sense of accomplishment and because I've invested so much in it (I used it to kill time instead of LoL until it became the main game, besides FGO both on JP and NA, I rarely play new games and when I do, I play for less than a week, but I picked up Nikke last month and play I still play Honkai Impact 3rd(after 7 months), but I'm doing some more quests and delete them both, I just log in mostly, get the free stuff, do some missions while multitasking (60% of time) and log out, I guess that's why it takes so long to delete those. I might keep Nikke for longer just to get used to how korean sounds, I'm giving learning korean a chance.
Meaningful experiences are subjective. I barely get any pleasure from anything beside gym, I'm doomed to enjoy things in retrospective (after done the said thing looking back at that thing I didn't felt like doing) I feel like doing nothing most of the time, my brain be like :"Just chill bro, why worry about the future when you can be happy now" (axis cult credo) I try to read more, use some learning apps or something but if is just for the sake of doing it and not a genuine interest or a strong positive emotion towards it I will stop in few days and go back to watch porn in my few hours of spare time.

5.d. Comparing my life with the romanticized version I've thought people have and believing I could achieve it, I've wasted my youth but after taking in account my personality traits and upbringing there was no other alternative. It was fate, I've come at peace with all and accepted I'm not at fault for it, it's people and society fault.(more axis cult credo)

6. I agree but to share the life with the right people you must first find them which is kinda difficult after a certain age bonus points because I work somewhere with less than 10 colleagues and no outside contact, plus I'm not the most likeable person, in fact quite the opposite, striking conversations and being interested in strangers is beyond me, but with people that happen to go to same places as I do is not hard, but then again I barely leave house.
I'm past that point where I'm desperate for relationships, I can't beat a hyper individualistic culture when I am alone most of the time and so used to it. I can keep relationships casual but getting close is past my abilities. Talking about feelings, being vulnerable, relying on others, quality time doing various activities together is so cringe.
I don't like initiating conversations with strangers, especially when I don't see any common ground, but if I have some economic motivation I might, is not about money or making friends with riches just so they can invite me to events or buy me things, what I meant is this: I think everyone uses it more or less, you probably won't continue talking to people that drain you or that have a gloomy view of the world, people that you always need to please so they would be close to you, you want to be close to people that worth your time. This is what I meant with economic value also what I can get from them (not money) opportunities, new connections, new hobbies, etc.

7.I managed to lift better, more focused than last year, that before I broke my back lol.
Depends how you define living, ain't life a boring cycle of sleep, work, and waiting for some vacations? if you want to feel alive one must try bungee jumping, dodging death sure makes you feel alive.
At least I'm not depressed anymore, because I've discovered socialism, now I am just hollow, I just need something to distract myself with until the end, just like everyone else.

Now to change to less serious topic, I've spoiled Umineko ending, I got so tired after 5 episodes, such a shame, but this happened 2 years ago and I kinda forgot the spoiler XD
I've started F/HA for the 3rd time, this time I will finish it for sure.
Finally after one month of several hours and multiple days of writing, I finished this reply, I didn't proof read it, it's kinda messy because I've started replying each point separate, then I went back.

Church route is actually one of the main ones, because if you don't go with Edelgard, it's basically a Black Eagles + Church fusion.
The event you're talking about is crucial for a midgame decision point. If you don't attend that meeting with Edelgard, you'll have to fight her.

Isn't Conquest the only route without extra missions that let you farm exp? I only remember having some DLC missions that I actually didn't bother playing, and just concentrated on the main plot. I remember lowering the difficulty mid game, because I was exhausted with how much effort you had to put into every single mission. The same could be said with Engage, where Maddening gave you so many ridiculous restrictions, that it wasn't fun anymore.

The main reason I decided to play Conquest was Camilla... *cough*... I mean, I read that it had the best variety and creativity when it comes to level design. I can't compare, but it definitely felt better than what 3H offered most of the time.

I mean, replay value is nice, but if you don't want to repeat mostly the same events and activities, then in my opinion it's not worth going for such a big scope like 3H, and just concentrate on something more compact like Engage.
My journey with Fire Emblem went like this: 3H > Engage > Fates Conquest > Path of Radiance (less than 50% of the game completed). So I'm fairly a rookie when it goes to the franchise. I have the first FE on Switch, but it feels too obscure to be enjoyable so I'll probably concentrate on the remake (FE11) instead.
I also played FE Heroes for a fe months, after Engage, and that also made me want to check out the other series. Lots of cool characters, like Ike and Cami... MARTH, so I wanted to check them out too.

I had a break from Radiance because I played Unicorn Overlord, which I finished a few days ago, so maybe I'll revisit FE soon enough.

yes

After I finished II, 3 wasn't out yet to the west.

I did try CS3 before dropping it for the first time back in early 2022, only to pick it up again a year after.

I wonder if the same will happen with CS4 XD.

If I don't go and finish some anime that are on my list for a long time for me it's a "well, I think I don't like that show that much so let's go watch something else that I know I'll enjoy more"

probably not but hey happy to have more frieren fans out in the world

Hello to you too. To answer your question, I'm not shy over the internet, also I'm not a stranger, I had you in my friends list on one of my former accounts.

Happy Birthday!

Yeah, I get it man. I also prefer to stick to one medium when experiencing a story for the first time.

You watching anything good this season? I'm having a good time with the Spice and Wolf remake, Mushoku Tensei S2, KonoSuba S3, and Unnamed Memory. Not a big fan of the animation changes for Yuru Camp S3, sadly; the show looks much less polished now after the studios change.

Glad to see that you're a fan of both Frieren and The Dangers In My Heart. They were my favorite shows from the previous season. :)

The gameplay part is more a comparison after playing both. I enjoyed the battles part in 3H, just stating than it was improved in the later installment.
It depends on person, but I believe it took me 80-90 hours to finish my first route in 3H. I was tempted to try another one after that, but never really had the will to do that. Maybe I'll come back sometime in the future and at least finish the DLC (once bought it, never played it).

Maybe, that's a possibility. However, the game has FOUR routes, not three. So there's even more than you think.
We could praise them, but I doubt many people have played all of them, so I'd rather have a new game earlier, than get more paths that are like 50% the same.
On top of that, it felt like there were some plot holes in the path I took, mainly because the game expects from you to play all of them, to fully understand the lore of the game, which is something that I don't fully agree with.

I actually played and finished FE Fates Conquest few months ago. Very enjoyable and challenging gameplay, cringeworthy plot but not to an annoying point, and I liked the designs of different factions. I haven't played the other 2 games, but all of them are pretty different, so the replay value is far better (imo) than 3H.
I also started FE Path of Radiance after that, but I got somewhere near the halfway point. More of a simple FE game, but quite enjoyable and charming, with some great characters and competent plot.

Hello

No idea. Might just be the season or weather lol

I removed some anime/manga that I know I won't like so my plan to watch/read only has thing that I really want to see/read or that I think they are interesting.
Honestly I have never felt burnout because this is a hobby so I watch/read something when I want because it's not a work, it's something to relax. If I don't like the anime/manga I simply choose to watch/read something else that I may like more.

it will probably be the same "hold" I put back when I reached ACT 2 in CS2, I did leave that game for a couple of months until I rushed it up in like a week or something, lol.

Hmmm because its mostly talking its not an issue cause the arts pretty.
im just glad they can adapt the fight scenes so well
