Final Fantasy Brave Exvius War of the Visions. And One Punch Man the Strongest. I did stop playing FFBE, since they keep releasing new units and it's so hard to keep up. Not to mention I've broken the daily login streak that I've been doing for the past 4 years, so not much incentive to play it anymore.

With the digital age, everybody can now be easily heard. Now that social media is the norm, everybody can freely express themselves. But is this a good thing? The ease of communicating also brought about lesser inhibition. Introverts are now a thing of the past. People now are easier to offend. I wonder how this came about. Were people really easy to offend to begin with and was just amplified by the digital age? Or was it because the boom of the internet failed to prepare the emotional state of a person? Did parents then fail to realize the effect of leaving their children to the internet that paved the way to those kids growing up to be emotionally fragile? What happened to us? I remember a time when people would call me names and I would just laugh it off. Now you call that bullying. If you do something out of good will but others see it differently, you get lambasted for it. That's why I stay away from all forms of social media. It's too damn tiring to squabble when you can do something much more productive.

Wow! That's really a lot of anger you're holding there. I don't blame you, especially from what you've gone through. It's really hard to please everybody, and once you do, you'll end up miserable. It's good that you have let go of the negative influences in your life and you can now start focusing on the positive.

I'm kinda sad that he gets kicked out and branded ex-communicado, but I am thrilled to see how He and Lawrence Fishburne is gonna work on John Wick 4. Although the hype for me has lessened for every installment that comes out. I guess the excitement is due to the surrounding mysterious mythos of the franchise, and as more details gets exposed, the lesser the surprise gets.

I actually fell asleep binge watching V a decade ago. Can't remember if it's because I got bored, or was just tired. After the experience, I never put the effort to watch it again. Although I know the gist of it, still wasn't interesting enough for me to rewatch it. I'm wondering what the next iteration of Gundam would be. I found Re:Rise to be wanting. Maybe I should start watching Reconquista in G? Or even Turn Away Gundam?

LOL on what is written on the opening credits. This really caught my eye (translated): Well, I never really cared for Spongebob, but this is a funny iteration.

Anime you are currently watching and/or Downloading
durendal replied to Toku Warrior's topic in Japanese Entertainment
Recently, I've noticed that I am getting more and more into the isekai genre. Started with SOA, and then Overlord and Shield Hero. After that I found Arifureta. I even read the web novel. Right now, I've added Tensura (That time I got reincarnated as a slime) and Re: Zero. Also read the webnovel for Tensura and have finished the main story and seriously contemplating if I should read the extra chapters. At the moment, I'm waiting for Season 2 of Tensura and the 2nd half of Re Zero, which will start to air January 2021. Also, Log Horizon season 3 might be on the way. Lot's of shows to look forward to. On a separate note, the final movie of Evangelion will finally come out next year. Anybody looking forward to it? Hopefully no more delays for this. -
Oh man! You really got the short end of the stick there. But at least you have 2 wonderful kids and a fresh start. Despite the difficult path you took, could you say that you are finally free? But do be careful, since you don't want your kids to grow up resenting their mother. Despite what your ex-wife have done, she is still their mother. It may be a challenging time for her right now, but once she gets her act sorted, she might want to rekindle her relationship with her children in the future. Redemption usually starts from one's self. So it really would depend on her if she will pick herself up and move forward. But I am worried since you mentioned that her sister has been diagnosed with mental disorder. Could your ex-wife also be in the same case? She might need professional help. Immaturity might not be the sole reason why she ended up like that. Well, please do let me know if this is getting uncomfortable, as it seems that I'm asking too many questions, and I do respect your privacy.

My take on this is that if it's just raw one on one fight, Aptom can overwhelm Guyot, since Aptom have acquired powers capable of going toe to toe with a Zoalord. But if it's going to be an urban combat, then I would think that Guyot has the advantage. His cunning and tenacity is something to watch out for. But of course the outcome of this battle will depend on how that author wants to portray it. This reminded me of a theme in Hunter X Hunter, where a highly prepared Class B fighter can easily defeat a lax Class A opponent. Or something to that effect.

From what you just related, I came to a conclusion that the kids are better off with you. But that's going to be a lot of work on your part as it's not easy raising kids alone. But it is good to hear that the kids are taking it well. But how are you going to juggle raising kids and working? Are they old enough to take care of themselves? It would be easier if your mother is willing to help you raise them, as I'm sure grandparents have this tendency to spoil their grandkids. I'm surprised that you didn't get sole custody with the way your ex-wife is living. Could the recent events happening to her be an after effect of you leaving her?

We'll have to see how this performs. DC has been losing to Marvel in cinematic universe building. They lack a Kevin Feige, so any attempts to merge their cinematic universe seems to have failed. They have done a good job with their TV series though. That's the part where they dominate over Marvel. But then again, with the recent shakeup in their mother company, only time will tell how they are going to end up. I am hoping that this iteration of Batman is successful.

I just found a funny quote about Pattinson and the Batman.

What difficulty do you start playing in a video game?
durendal replied to H222G981's topic in Games Discussion
I hate playing of hard. I am a petty and lazy person. Once I'm done with normal, I don't play it on hard. The only time I played Hard on the first try was on Metal Gear Solid just to prove a point. God, I was insane to do that. Finished it and never played the game again. -
There was a time when downloading games are not the norm and we relied on physical discs. My answer to that would be different depending on when you asked me, Suffice to say, even then, I have never bought a genuine game. I have stopped playing games for a while now. My last console was the PS2 and I still wasn't buying the genuine discs. If you asked me then, I would acquire the game in a less then honorable manner. If you asked me now, with what I currently have, I would feel guilty not paying for the game. But I guess that wasn't you question, was it? Personally, I prefer the physical disc. There is this certain feeling of owning something tangible. If it's something downloaded, I don't feel like I own it, more like having a feeling of borrowing it. Of course there are pros and cons to both, but I simply prefer to keep something physical for me to use as decoration.

Wow, sorry to hear that. It must have been very tough on you. I hope you don't mind me asking some questions, you did post this on a public forum, so please pardon me in advance if you feel offended by my inquiries. I noticed from the date of this topic started 5 years ago that you were having second thoughts on your relationship, and then made the final decision just last year. This must have been a long arduous struggle for you to sort things out. I'm sure you have tried everything in your disposal to try and save the relationship, but how did your kids take it? Having experience the same thing when you were younger I'm sure you know how it feels. But at least you now feel happier, and that's what really counts.

I still don't like Ezra Miller as the Flash.

I find it funny how a lot of fans react negatively when an actor is cast as Batman and then loving them when they see them in action. Like Michael Keaton and Ben Affleck, everyone lost their heads when it was announced they would play Batman. But later everyone agreed that they did a good job portraying the caped crusader.

Wow, I admire your patience to paint something so small. I've never heard of Marvel: Crisis Protocol. Is this something like a Warhammer 40000 or something?

You can't blame me for making succeeding posts. That's what happens when it takes 5 years in between posts.

Because of that cover, I got curious of Plunderer (since I just found out it's also published in the same magazine). Decided to watch the anime and read the manga. Managed to read that particular issue and saw the contents, no mention of Guyver whatsoever.

I got the Rhava Velar and it does cheese the game. And It's unbelievable that you can actually use Standstill on the last boss. Being the last boss, you'd assume that cheap shots won't work on it. But apparently it does. Man, getting all the cool stuff takes the fun out of the game.
