Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

I just did an escape room for the first time. There were some clocks in the room set to different time zones. One of the clocks was set up wrong (Honolulu time was set two hours after Los Angeles time when it should have been before, and we were using the Honolulu clock as our reference point). Their mistake lost us 10 minutes. I tried explaining it to the employee running things and he got snippy with me. Luckily we still beat it in time, but come on.

What are your experiences with escape rooms? Are they usually good or somewhat scuffed like this one?

We did one as a team building exercise at work. It was fine the managers finished in last place which felt nice.

Room was fine not hard to solve, found it just tedious.

There is one 90 miles away from me. I only travel that far for Dr's appointments.

A friend from XIV likes them. No details though.

Had the option to do one, once, at a convention I went to with friends. We got in line for it, but the people ahead of us opted into the extra hard package or some such nonsense, so the people running it told us that the wait time doubled.

So we got bored, and went off to do other stuff, and never came back to it before it closed for the day.

Surprised no one has said anything about the new Frieren season.

Good so far.

Im getting faster editing my videos, but those art for the covers double or even triple my editing time.

It is a lot of effort, but at least is some unique work.

None in the world will have the same awkward style like mine

EDIT: but dang… I really liked my latest cover art.

youtube is getting so tiring. I saw someones collection video, go to post a link to a picture of mine to show them and it auto deletes, ok whatever. Then in the video he mentions his figures kept moving, I said to get some museum putty on AMAZON. And then it auto deleted. Like, you can't dislike videos, you can't leave links you can't even chat about anything.

Its 11pm here (I normally start sleeping at 10), but somehow, I started to think about work. Then my studies. And now I feel like I cant sleep.

I will try reading some manga to see if I fall asleep. Ive found 4 pretty good series.

I just got popeyes - IDK what to do - either make AI hen... Anime stuff or play vidya games

***there's a new season out? Sign me the *** up! I didn't realize that!

Yeah I heard good things. I just (mostly) don't like to watch an ep per week so I just wait for the full season to be close to over. I have a bunch of other stuff to watch.

He is angry because you guys suck



EDIT: holy fu*k. The puppy snapped!

Try your most boring textbook.

They still print textbooks don't they?

They're called "Google" these days I believe.

I didn't realize the Friren is basically an RPG in anime form. (I knew it was the post credits life AFTER an RPG)

Definitely ootl with current anime and manga. Didn't even know the meaning of the word "Isekai" till I googled it today.

..the last manga anything I watched aside from dragonball was the original .hack//sign in 2004 and yuyu hakusho

I feel like since pandemic, Isekai is one of the most popular genre in manga/anime world.

That is explained by how much they overuse this genre. It is hilarious how much those guys can stretch the base concept and add the most bizarre uniqueness on it.

The last bizarre isekai I followed is one where the protagonist was isekai-ed and reincarnated as.... a tree! A frigging TREE.

Imagine a story where your protagonist is a tree...

Anyway reasons why isekai is so popular seems related to the subconscious desire of the average japanese worker, in face the hardships in japanese adult society, feels like "escaping" this world and restart anew, in a game-like world where he is not just your average salaryman, but a force of nature, to combat the evil.

Every single season, maybe 4 or 5 new isekai animes are released. With the most wide range of quality. But generally low quality, to increase the reward.

And they sell. Thus why they are so damn popular in current world.

Isekai is not just anime and not just Japan. Its really popular in Korea too and as manga.

I would not be surprised if it was all over China as well.

Dang...

As Im on a break of Palworld, Ive been feeling the urge to play like anything.

Sure, I spend w way lot of time while playing Palworld last year, but there was an interesting side effect: I could multitask playing and watching/hearing videos, and by doing that, I consumed a shitload of every type of content.

So, in the end, it wasnt a "waste of time" playing. I amassed a lot of knowledge by doing it, even if only partial because I was dividing attention.

Now there are a couple of videos I think very interesting to watch, but that I dont feel like simply standing still watching. I would do if I could multitask with something else, but I have no gaming on, and the other stuffss Ive been doing with my time require full focus (studying and video editing).

Maybe I will pick older games and start recording. I was thinking either redo Yugioh Forbidden Memories, or Digimon 1.

Forbidden Memories is one Im most interested to pick, but the thing is that somehow, brazillian community already owned the game.

I dont think I can contribute with anything with any playthrough of that.

Yo! My elf fetish!

*Glances over at Army of Darkness*

It's an isekai, bros!

Suggestions

Panta discovering the intersection of Isekai x Shojo.

Nothing good will come of it Panta, come back from the ledge.

Well, Im proud to not be a NTR bandwagooner.

I knew this for over a decade, but one thing I noticed is, maybe because of boredom or desensitization, anything that was “underground” in the past suddenly rise to mainstream in the present

But I admit, mixing NTR with RPG is something I wasnt prepared for

Talking about isekais (again), I thought only isekais were plagued by those large descriptive names.

But looking at the news mangas updates, I saw this title:

“I’m Sick and Tired of My Childhood Friend’s, Now Girlfriend’s, Constant Abuse so I Broke up With Her”.

Those guys are not even trying to come up with a title anymore!

I wonder how many words that title takes in Japanese.

The full JP name is "Osananajimi Kanojo no Morahara ga Hidoi nde Zetsuen Sengen shite Yatta: Jibunrashiku Ikiru Koto ni Shitara, Nazeka Tonari no Seki no Kakure Bishoujo kara Kokuhaku sareta".

In arabic:

كانت الإساءة العاطفية التي تعرضت لها صديقة طفولتي سيئة للغاية لدرجة أنني قررت قطع كل صلة بها. وعندما قررت أن أعيش حياتي بالطريقة التي أريدها، اعترفت لي الفتاة الجميلة التي كانت تجلس بجانبي بحبها.
