Everything felt like they didn’t last nearly as long as they could’ve. You were shuffled a lot during a school day and you had so much crammed in to do within those 8 hours that you’re there.
I never liked school for the courses and all that. I liked school because of who I hung around and some of the memories I got through them.
I resonate the same way with Anime fans. I used to have seen many people identify themselves back in the 2000s as ‘Otakus’ and some even wearing the shirts to say so. It got off-putting for a good long while. There are even fans who uncomfortably reveal their favorite characters that all look suggestively underaged or too dolled up which makes associating with them in casual conversation a problem because of the mental gymnastics they’ll go through defending them.
The anime fandom has a poor track record of just keeping these weirdos out which doesn’t make it good to indulge on the hobby.
Everyone’s collections is suddenly worth way more because of the devious amounts of pumping and dumping by heritage auctions and people operating on a pawn broker mindset. That’s who ruined an honest hobby.
I wanted my collection so that I can have things to turn to and play, but have physical copies of. There were very few times I got games so I could flip them, but only if it meant more money to have on the bargaining table to get what I truly wanted. I’ve gotten a copy of Pokemon Stadium 2 sealed in 2010. I tried selling it for $95, but not sure what the final price of it really went for. Might’ve been a tad lower.
I mean, that’s just how you did business if it means getting what you want. These days, everyone is constantly flipping and skyrocketing values to unrealistic levels “for fun” or profit than just caring about what they’ve got at all.
I didn’t know making a personal collection constituted as being an ‘investor’. Learn something new everyday. /s
I mean it’s in the word - personal. When you’re making personal collections, you aren’t in it for the money or what ways you can flip what you get for an investment.
Making huge leaps of assumption, you are. Christ.
Last Podcast on the Left - Three guys that covered true crime, the morbid, the crazy and everything in between while cracking dark humor over it all. I used to listen to this heavily from 2017 through 2021. I believe before I just stopped listening. They lost one of their longtime hosts recently to controversy a while back and I haven’t been interested in picking it back up.
The Prancing Pony Podcast - This is an acquired taste because it appeals to fans of Middle-Earth and everything Tolkien. Two hosts offer insight and depth reading of the legendarium, starting from Silmarillion through Hobbit and up to the Lord of the Rings. I think they’re close to wrapping up Return of the King soon. Very informational podcast to get into if you’re a fan of the lore.
Sequelisers - A group of hosts take bad unnecessary sequels to beloved films and attempt to fix them, while offering insight as to why the sequel in question was a bad idea in the first place.
CUPodcast - Again, another acquired taste because this only has a small following and it involves video games. It’s hosted by Pat Contri who is known as PatTheNESPunk on YouTube along with co-host Ian. They basically cover the gossip and general news rounds with gaming.
Depression has gotten massively common because people tend to self-diagnose themselves. They self-diagnose themselves because therapy costs are high.
I’ve gone through therapy to say that I absolutely do have it. But then again, I knew for certain that I already had it prior to seeing at least two therapists. Because I’ve had a shitty childhood, I’ve gotten bullied an awful lot through childhood, I had unsupporting and unloving parents. A lot of my ambitions and dreams weren’t realized because I didn’t have the necessary tools to go and achieve them. My school career was so embarrassing that I elected not to go to college because I had nothing to show for it.
And while I can say that I’ve had decent friends and some good relationships. I keep finding myself fighting with whether or not anyone actually cares of me and simply just isn’t tolerating me so they can take advantage of my generosity.
So I have plenty to be depressed about.
No. I did my time for the many years I’ve endured when adblockers weren’t really much of a thing. So, that meant that I’ve put up with ads until 2006 which meant AdBlock Plus first debuted.
Ads are typically trash, they’re in your face, they’re invasive, they’re prone to have malware in them and it’s just marketing pollution that adds no value except to figure out ways, mostly in obnoxious fashion, to get you to spend money.
No >:U
I’d make it a TV series. If it’s doing well for Fallout, it shouldn’t be hard for Borderlands to be a show. Because with something as big as Borderlands, it’s not a good idea to compact all of that into one entire film. It’s got to be a chain of events in an episodic format.

These people are some of the people I’ve no sympathy in bitching at. They’re my favorite punching bags.
No, people, don’t feel sorry for these scammers. They CHOSE to do this. Instead of wanting to aim to better their lives or better their country, they chose to go out and do everything they can to scam people out of money.
So yes, I happily scream and mess with these pricks any chance I get. They have no remorse in what they do.
A lot of users on Reddit have an intellectual security. They know that they actually know nothing about anything but treat their opinions as if they’re factual and insightful takes on issues and situations they likely never have experience or knowledge in. So they apply that, while looking at Google on the side or thumbing up other threads with similar situations to gather a response.
There’s nothing to be afraid of with saying ‘I don’t know’ but that doesn’t exist in their vocabulary, so rather than saying that, they demonstrate how little they actually know. And when confronted and contested by people who do know, that insecurity comes out and they flip into being a pretentious shit mongerer who’s got to now antagonize everyone around them in any way, because their insecurity is beaming for everyone to see.
They can’t handle anyone who’s more educated than they are. I guess they got to put that GED into use somehow.
