Wow, that is a nostalgic gallery. I can remember looking at some of these like 7-8 years ago when I first started. Good stuff!

Do you all listen to music while reading books or manga and, if so, what kind of music?

Sometimes. Usually to drown out outside noise rather than to set a mood for reading. Sometimes just brown noise or water sounds 'music'. Otherwise, stuff without English lyrics, because those would be distracting. Anime songs and soundtracks, classical, Celtic, Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack, sometimes Latin or Arabic or such.

I also sometimes do, usually finding some calming instrumental music. Luckily, on Google Play Music, where all the music I download goes, I've made a playlist for exactly that kind of music.

Oh man! I found an awesome channel today

I listen to yt vids like this rather than music most of the time. I listen to music while gaming on pc/console.

Please, I have ideas for at least 50 mangas. 10 have at least somewhat completed story. I just need to finally learn how to draw...

Do it! 50 manga will take a loooooong time and not publishing them would be a waste. Or I guess you could pay for an artist. I personally want to put my stories online when I feel better and get some privacy.

Wait, you didn't know about Philosophy Tube? Last time we talked about bread channels, Peko added to the list and I mentioned to her she forgot about him, so she edit him into her post I believe (the power of too much free time stares). I guess you could miss the edit. There's actually few more that I know that weren't mentioned there. And yea I used to listen to stuff like that in background all the time, when I was doing something that I didn't need to focus on, to have my mind occupied with something as well as to not let it stagnate.

Yea, I want to post them online and ideally e-beg earn my living using patreon. I was considering collaborating with someone but ignoring the fact finding such person is hard enough on it's own, I'm not really keen on idea of working together with someone, especially since ironically I'm pretty perfectionist, so I'm not sure if someone else could do it exactly the way I envision it. And I do want to learn how to draw, always did, so it's not like I'm forcing myself to do it alone. Ideally if I managed to pull it off, I'd want to support myself as a artist and finally stop having to work jobs I hate. And yes, my biggest pain is that I might not live long enough to make all of those, which pains me greatly, but as long as 1 manage to make the 1 I care the most about, I'll probably be able to die happily.

Also I kinda didn't mention it but

I have 4 somewhat connected stories planned out if anyone is curious. 2 are full yuri, 2 are mainly adventure.

If you feel up to it, I'd be more than happy to read what you got.

Also also

if I ever actually get to making it a reality by getting rid of this never ending depression and anger

I relate to this on spiritual level

Nev, we're like, the same person lol. But I actually had got a decent job because well..my dad made the company. I thought about all that too which is why I suggested a collab. I agree the begging patreon route is the best way to go if you're going to make a living out of this, or else you'd be doing it for exposure XD.
Good luck!

Oh yeah! I remember that discussion. I was definitely not paying attention LOL. It happens when you're sleep deprived for 4 months.
Guess I'll share TheraminTrees instead...uh trigger warning? Maybe? I wish he uploaded more often.

If you feel up to it, I'd be more than happy to read what you got.

Not yet! I'm not ready blush
I lost like the 1st 30% when my old pc died, I don't have anything to share rn until I write it down again.

From stuff I can personally recommend Lindsay Ellis is very good for left leaning analyze of media, but also great analyze of media in general and Pop Culture Detective is very eye opening about how media can reinforce some toxic stereotypes and behaviors. Both update very rarely though.

I actually meant more you simply summarizing your ideas x3 (though I guess that'd technically spoil your stories)
Sorry to hear that ;/ That really sucks.

Really neat for my eldest brother since he inherented the company, he did earn it tho the poor fecker is always tired. I'm still kinda broke. No nepotism here.

I'm familiar with them, yeah.

Don't want to spoil anything but I can drop some tags, I guess.
longest story: action adventure, magic, supernatural, drama, comedy, SPAAAACCCEEEEE(sometimes), yuri side couple(s), some het, some yuri, some lgbt in general, NOT isekai lol
shortest story: adventure, action, magic, supernatural, an important tag I don't want to spoil*
lighthearted CGDCT: romance, yuri, comedy, adult life, a bit of adventure and mystery
"generic school romance": yuri, comedy, 4 panel maybe?, dumb protag
A bunch of tags overlap because the stories all connect at points even if it doesn't seem that way. LOL almost spoiled a bunch things, I was having too much fun with the tags XD.

That was only stuff I could add that wasn't mentioned already back then.

I see, kinda hard to tell much just from tags x3"

This shit is too funny not to share https://youtu.be/CW3W88Kt2kk

Any comments on the last of us 2? I can't afford it rn.

Some tags can be spoilers. That's why I added the bit at the end.

Yes, but I meant just tags really tells you nothing about characters and story xP

Oh really? Which one? I don't know the name of your YT account.

If anybody posts spoilers without proper tags I'm gonna punch ban them. People on the internet really seem to hate it but after the first four hours or so I think it's everything I wanted, while simultaneously being nothing like I expected. Long journey ahead tho!

^ Haven't watched the last of us nor the last of us 2, but I'm curious as to how long you plan the bans to be.

There's so many different ways to interpret the idea of watching a video game........

The length of the ban will depend solely on how annoyed the spoiler makes me! That seems very fair and reasonable, right?

^ About the first part: I assumed it was a movie, not a game.

About the second: Yeah, okay...

I watched some gameplays of the Last of Us 2. Most of the gamers I watched were shocked when the golf scene happened.

Thank you for tagging!

About the second: Yeah, okay...

Hey, it's joke...

The Last of Us 2, uh? That's cute.

But while all of you are distracted by that, I, a true, epic gamer, am preparing for what will be the undoubtedly the real game of the year.

I preorder it, and no I don't regret it.

I got lucky today and got me a copy of Mia's new duo unit in FEH. She's my second duo unit after Palla: Sisterly Trio. Not sure how to use my neutral IV version of her, but she's probably going to find a use in one of my teams... somehow?

Pfff... Imagine prefering gaming over watching history documentaries on YouTube, and then downloading them AND translating them to your native language.

So...the site is going stay like this? SSL warning is mildly inconvenient. Had to swap back to Firefox. which I dont mind but had to re log in

Oh really? Which one? I don't know the name of your YT account.

I have 4 accounts, I commented with the Yurika acc. The one I used to share before. The comment also drowned in since I commented late.

I actually saw it, but wasn't sure if it was you. It was good x3

@Rye Sorry about you not getting Mia. There's a few units that I want mainly Sothis, Rhea (if she existed in FEH), Edelgard's Legendary unit, and a few others that I can never get but want. In gacha games like this it's often a matter of throwing your premium currency in and seeing where the metaphorical dice land... sometimes you get what you want, sometimes not, and sometimes you get something unexpected (be that good or bad).

At long last, High-school is finally done....
