to all my cat people, how do you get cats to stop chewing on cords
i guess it doesnt matter now because i raised the money to buy a ps4 in one day so thats cool.
right because thinking back to when i was in middle school and my group of male friends was obsessed with naruto, we were just as into the love interest stuff as the badass ninja stuff. it captures that childhood wonder both when you're a child and when you're grown up looking back on it. love it
theyre very big games giant editions
scrabble, twister
none of the boruto generation characters interest me as much as the naruto characters did (except for mitsuki but that's because his origin comes from one of my favorite places in the series and i want moooore), but naruto has always been a generational thing, so i think having it continue on with the kids of the previous generation is very appropriate. i want more. i would love just a full-on manga of the generation before naruto as well. or even before that. the naruto world is so expansive i don't think there's much of a limit to the stories you could tell and the places you could tell them because even with 700 chapters under its belt, the main naruto series didn't do all too much in the way of exploring other villages. the only villages we really now well are leaf and to an extent sand.
im curious because im looking around my room at my very limited shelf space thinking there's a lot here that i impulse bought, played like a couple hours of then put back on the shelf (mmz collection, super md, pq), and i'll probably never play again. that or games that i've played ad nauseam and haven't played in years and prob never will again and have no emotional connection to and are all but forgotten to me (dissidia). so im thinking why am i keeping these? i dont want to get too introspective and philosophical or whatever with something this simple, but i think its good to not be needlessly attached to material things that dont hold some kind of personal value, though i realize the hypocrisy in not wanting to be too materialistic in favor of selling things for money. so im wondering. do you sell off games? what are your criteria for deciding when/what to sell? not necessarily a case of not being able to make up my mind, but games are expensive yo and im a broke college student who needs to be smart with money which entails minimizing regret. so im prob gonna liquidate my already small collection to make room for stuff. and i kinda want a ps4. and money from my job in the summer needs to go to things like education and personal needs, right.
naruto resonated with me at such an early age (and i would guess many others as well) and has remained one of my favorite things is due to how well it captured early adolescent attitudes and behaviors (while theres all this fun action and immersive world building going on) for example the whole sakura and ino being enemies because they like the same person (literally verbatim "we like the same person so i guess we're enemies from now on") is like the realest **** when youre eleven years old. looking back on it its hilarious but its super easy to project my childhood self onto this, or rather partially assume that mentality when i read/watch and enjoy. got that naruto bug man.
i visit kingdom hearts videos dot net every goddamn day of my life, yet when i see pictures of kingdom hearts things i get all warm-hearted and sentimental and remember how that's a thing that exists and that i used to love way back when
Atom from Pluto, and by extension Astro Boy from Astro Boy, is the first Japanese character I recognize as a superhero. what i mean is that from everything I've read/watched Atom comes the closest to the what I recognize out of familiarity as a superhero this isn't a statement on quality. the Japanese idea of a superhero is this amorphous summation of qualities that is less definitive than the quintessential american hero, though how they differ now is mostly in presentation as even the idea of the american sh has been blurred and smudged throughout the decades, and now it's impossible to say at what point you pin that bone fide superhero badge to and have it apply to everything across the board. it doesn't work. but that doesn't matter because the point of what I'm saying is that he's a pretty damn good character altogether. everyone should read Pluto. i read it in two days. Urasawa's a master. some of his blatant american criticisms rub me the wrong way but I can overlook that in favor of how excellent he is at writing a story.
yeah i just programmed my brain to drive to gamestop every first of the month now i have to think about things.
are they not all through code cards at gamestop? i thought that was the deal
when everyone in the house but you has the flu, that's about the time i choose to believe in a god so i can pray to it i've gone two days in a row and they still dont have the card i'm not too excited for this one since i got the celebi from Bank when that was a thing but i still want it ill check back again later i guess
Adele was the first bad music that came to mind but that fits too
i'm not the most political savvy person but i'm pretty sure you can't just ctrl+z a president out of office
so i think i just resolved to start saving for a ps4 and not get a ps3 ever. the games on 3 that i would buy it for are Arkham and theres not much else i care about. plus the next games in my favorite franchises (persona 5, kh3) are on ps4 sooo. not currently having a job makes that kinda difficult but once i have one in the summer it will be fine. saving some here and there now will help begrudgingly respect him like every other president
so out of curiosity i started jojo and the first chapter of the first series was alright i guess[DOUBLEPOST=1456896631][/DOUBLEPOST]also i'm interested in why people like Cowboy Bebop. i'm still trying to articulate my relationship with that show. i find that i'm not able to approach it in the same way I do other shows and get the same kind of experience out of it. in some aspects i absolutely love it yet in others i just kinda more than tolerate it. so i'm curious what it is other people enjoy about it and why and so on
is jojo good? should i add the mangas to the media to consume list? here's what that looks like atm Spoiler no priority (whenever I feel like): Lolita Audrey Hepburn biographies Baccano, Durarara (may just stop these altogether) Superman trade backlog Teen Titans v3 Mister Miracle v2 Tezuka comics top priority (just want to get these out of the way): Bakuman Dragon Ball Super catch up Otomo movies get back to (put these on hold for other stuff): Planet of the Apes tv shows Leiji Matsumoto anime Naoki Urasawa manga after Leiji and Urasawa: Star Trek (after Apes) Lupin III Jojo manga (???)
