I hate hot weather, crowds, and travel. A vacation spent in a major city would not be a vacation for me.

Agree. I rather give my trip to a family member or something.

Some of my favorite JPOP artists/groups: fripSide, Walkre, Mayn, Megumi Nakajima, ALTIMA, KOTOKO, Eir Aoi, Mami Kawada, Maon Kurosaki (RIP), Wake Up Girls!, LiSA.

There are a lot of really good songs from them that are not used in anime/tv shows/movies as well.

Outside anime, I've always liked the various Law & Order themes.

Las Vegas NV is a classic choice.

Was it any good? It's on my "maybe watch" list.

in some places (frontpage for sure, sometimes also search?) you can gef a little preview of the video by mousing over it. if this plays for more than a few seconds it counts as watching it and adds it to your history

I have that feature disabled. Mousing over videos doesn't play for me.

I've seen videos pop up in search that have a partial red bar (aka partial watched) but they are videos I've never clicked on nor ever watched and they don't exist in my history. And the thumbnail does not have the partial red bar either. It's literally just youtube trying to make you click on a video you think you have partially watched. It's ass.

I haven't been sick since 2009-2010. But I also don't go out in public more than a few times a year.

Passkeys should be the default by now.

The main problem I have with passkeys is that most public websites still allow you to fallback to username/password if you lose your passkey. So the weakest link is still the username/password.

If websites got rid of username/passwords entirely and made passkeys the only option to log in, then it would be a lot more secure. But the general public can't handle taking care of their passkeys, so username/passwords are always going to be around forever.

Halloween starting early this year.

Don't assume 2FA is safe either especially if they're doing it over text

Yeah, I really hate how some websites STILL only offer SMS 2FA in the year 2025.

They're closer to Fire Emblem than Final Fantasy. But they're great if you're into the tactical RPG genre

I might check it out. FFT is the only tactical RPG I've ever played. I never got around to trying Fire Emblem either.

Shining in the Darkness/Force 1-2, how are these RPGs compared to Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, etc? Worth checking out? I've never heard of this series.

they been free for a while if im not mistaken.

only downside is that you have to deal with ads but i guess that's expected...

Most of these if not all were previously $2 each. If they had ads while still costing $2 to buy, that's really dumb.

Also, is this a situation if you download these to your current phone now and then get a new phone in the future, you won't be able to keep these games?

I'm glad everything worked out.

Check the email the paypal account is associated with and see if you have a bunch of emails from paypal over the time you were using it. Every time there is a transaction used with paypal, they send you an email. The only problem would be if you block/delete those emails automatically that they would be lost.

As much as you are so sure, there still may be something going on here, like a wrong account.

Are you sure it's the right paypal account?

i wish SE could give us stuff like Final Fantasy Renaissance

its a fan remake of FF1 that adds a TON of new jobs and special abilities

honestly, all these fan remakes of old classics that have been coming out over the last few years are way better than anything that comes from official sources. It's kind of crazy. This plus the the zelda 2 and castlevania fan remakes for example.

I started exercising/working out daily, lifting weights, walking/jogging on a treadmill, pushups, crunches. I started Jan 1st 2019 and have kept it up to today. I also started going to the dentist twice a year after not going for 20+ years.

Other than those, nothing has changed in my NEET lifestyle in the last 25 years.

I wouldn't even bother trying. I'd just start digging a hole in the backyard.

I guess I'm not literally unemployable. There's crappy shelf-stocking jobs I could probably get with some help, but what for? The only real point would be to get out into the community, but I don't wanna be in the community. I wanna stay at home by myself. Call me a recluse, or antisocial, or whatever, but I guess that's what I am. Friendship is something that's foreign to me. All I really care about is maintaining my solitude, with as little hassle as possible. I don't care about money or anything else.

Describes me pretty well.

Rock Lee should have been the main character

watch Mashle

I've been between 104-125 lbs my entire life (5'10"). My average is 1000-1500 calories per day and has been for the last 10-15 years. I guess it's the opposite problem for me. I hate eating and gaining weight is near impossible for me.

there are a number of people on this very board who are wilfully unemployed, leeching off either their elderly parents or other relatives or the state, with seemingly zero shame whatsoever.

We never use google photos, we use google gallery instead, which is basically offline only google photos. No backups.

no but I've had bubble gum cigars.

I just rewatched the original recently.

I'm almost in the clear, but I think they're emerging from a crack near the window frame.

You know, I just so happened to fix a large crack at the top of my window frame that had opened up from years of idling. Dirt started pouring into my room from the crack and at first I had no idea where the dirt was coming from. I had to take down my blinds and get a caulking gun and seal it. I'm probably going to get new windows this coming winter so I just did a sloppy touch up job for now. I imagine that crack is where I was getting so many bugs from. The dirt didn't start showing up till about a month ago but I bet that crack has been there for a few years.

I sometimes wonder if I had asked that girl back in 1999 that had a big crush on me to be my gf or to go out on a date that I might be in a completely different life right now. I asked her out to lunch and she said yes and was super into me during that short time we spent together. She was super shy and quiet and I felt like she gave me a purpose to be strong for her. Who knows if she would have helped me push forward through my severe social anxiety or not.

I feel like that is THE crossroad point in my entire life and I don't know if I took the right road or not.

I write down stuff that happens that has significance to me but that's fairly rare.

I do have a log of my daily workouts that I have been doing since Jan 1st 2019. It keeps me motivated to continue exercising every day. It looks like a spreadsheet keeping track of experience points in an RPG but instead of exp points, it's rep counts/totals, miles walked/jogged, calories burned, incline/elevation gain, METs, MET mins, MET/m per wk, etc.

I've considered writing down my dreams, but I can actually remember them fairly well. Obviously not every single dream I've ever had, but I do remember a lot of them.

I also keep a monthly updated life log on another site that is about my reclusive lifestyle.

44 year old virgin, checking in.

I had this problem a few years ago. Thousands of gnats flying around my lamp next to my window at night. I just killed what I could myself and they just went away after about a week or two. Never saw them again. Never did any spraying or changing windows or anything. Never found out where they came from either.

I've only had 1 job and I only worked that job for 1 year and I quit on my own terms. I worked at a grocery store. I went from bag boy to cashier to front end manager-like but never got a single raise and my parents made me quit because they wanted me to go to college instead. I would have stayed otherwise. I didn't go to college.

I just setup a new windows laptop a few days ago for my dad and I don't remember seeing that and there hasn't been any reminders about it either. I set it up without an outlook account too.

This but unironically.

It must be spotty targeting still because my firefox + ublock origin still works fine. I haven't updated ublock in months btw.

I hate driving and haven't been behind the wheel since the early 2000s. But when I did drive, It was always:

No radio
No phone
Windows up
No socializing
No food/drink

I felt like having the radio on was too distracting.

There are literal ads on youtube for adblockers that specifically block ads on youtube, but youtube's ToS says using an adblocker is against the ToS.

As someone that doesn't like to eat a lot and has always been super skinny my entire life, I also complain about portions when it comes to fast food. I usually have to cut burgers in half and save half for another day. I only need to eat 2 slices from a medium or large pizza. There is this Mexican fast food place that has a plate that is 3 soft tacos, beans, rice and 2 tortillas. I usually put all the tacos away in the refrigerator because the rest fills me up just fine. Portions are big. I like to drink lots of water with my meals and that helps fill me up.

I gave up years ago. I just accept who I am.

I only drink about 40oz of water per day and I don't drink anything else. I've only had water for the last 20+ years. I think it's different for everyone how much water/fluid you need.

My goodness, I didn't know kidney stones could get that big. I'm 36 years old and this is the first time I've ever had a kidney stone. I'm hoping it was just my diet, and consuming too much acidic stuff like pop, that caused mine. I'll have to check out that tea, if I ever have this kidney stone problem again.

My dad has had like 3 kidney stone surgeries in the past. This last one was the absolute worst one and he somehow survived it. They had to cut open his back and fetch the stones out. No amount of changing diet or whatever ever seemed to help him. His kidneys are just kidney stone factories. I'm 44 and have never had one yet. But every doctor we've had to talk to says you gotta drink lots of water daily to help prevent stones if you are prone to having them. 64 oz per day. Maybe cut back on salt intake as well.

Reminds me of NES FF3. Going that whole way through the final tower and getting smacked by one of the bosses at the end, is pretty soul crushing if you went in not knowing. (No save spots in the whole tower btw.)

My dad has had kidney stone problems all of his life and for the last stones he had, he tried Hanan Chanca Piedra Tea, I'm not guaranteeing anything, but supposedly it's great for helping break up kidney stones and pass them. It helped my dad a little in terms of pain, but he ended up having to get surgery to remove the stones, since it turned out he had like 2 or 3 12+mm stones in his kidneys. For tiny stones, the tea probably would have worked. But who knows, it could all just be fake. But he did say that it seemed to help him at least with the pain. There are plenty of amazon reviews that say the stuff works for passing stones though, so who knows. Just check it out, do some research, etc.

I didn't think I'd like Jojo because of the art style (reminds me of 90's MTV cartoons for some reason) and I didn't like part 1 at all, but once I got into part 2, it really took off for me and has been awesome every part/season since.

The last Nintendo console I had/played was N64 and I never played Mario 64. I'm not getting this one either.

No idea what my blood type is. I haven't been to a doctor in over 25 years and I don't think I can donate blood because I'm pretty underweight.

I'm extremely lucky I never had any tooth issues and I went 20 years without a dentist visit. I'm going to the dentist twice a year now for the past several years but before that, nothing.

I can't even imagine.
