omg knighty is back !!

Happy birthday Knight ! :3

2 days to go to Christmas :)
Thanks very much :) I had 3 days off this week plus the regular weekend this week plus Monday and Tuesday. They will fly though.

Damn...that sucks. Hope you get better soon, having Covid is much more miserable than a regular flu. There are offers of Covid vaccines over here but I didn't bother taking them, they sound too risky.
And take your time with these songs :) Listening to them when still sick is definitely not going to do you any good.

And now it’s near Christmas as you said!! :O This year flew! Trying to reply but as usual, no privacy to be on MAL for more than 2 minutes each day Orz
Been gaming lately and re-watching Marvel films and other ones such as Harry Potter with my little brother, and now onto Pirates of the Caribbean movies. He loved these :) It’s better to show these films before his teenage years hit, which might become more judgemental on things and be more influenced by my parents who hate these kind of movies (they prefer realistic movies, and romance ones in the case of my mother).
Yeah totally agree, but with two wars on the loose, it’s hard to tell when would there be world peace. At least Covid in China has stopped after their extension of lockdown. I managed to go back there for 3.5 weeks between September and October after 7 years not going back there. Things have changed so much!! QR codes for purchases using certain apps, finger prints to open home doors in newly built apartments and electric scooter motor bikes everywhere and you can’t even hear them until they get close to you on the footpath (yes, they ride on the footpath at about 5-10km/hr)! D:
As far as I know, my job’s IT department kept suggesting to use complicated passwords and never use the same password in many websites or systems (in the job). It’s hard to be honest.
Sounds about the same here. A lot of houses for rent are for students. Other rental prices are very high per month, so it’s hard to look for a cheap place to rent. This really makes me to stop looking at a place to buy sometimes…And here has management fees and TV Licence fees more like taxes if you ask me, which discourages even more on buying houses or apartments unless you win the Lottery >_>

I have a version of the original FF7 downloaded on Steam, need to play it sometime. I probably will replay Remake soon on PS5 as there are certain side-quests that can only be done if you chose certain dialogue options from certain chapters, otherwise alternative quests will appear instead. I was surprised that I never got a Game Over screen when facing the Arbiters of Fate and Sephiroth on Normal difficulty, yet I died elsewhere before the last battles. Can’t wait for Rebirth!
Why didn’t you have a PS5? Too expensive? I’ve heard PS5 Slim is coming out soon, spec looks the same, so hopefully it’ll be cheaper. I might get it once I move out in future.
Not a big fan of Gatcha games, they felt like it can go on forever and ever until human civilization is gone xD I only played a few hours of Genshin Impact with Chinese audio (it’s a Chinese game after all), voice acting is pretty good. I might get back to it sometime later but right now I don’t feel like playing games that might go on forever.
Yeah, the first Ni No Kuni game’s battle system was kinda let down. The AI for your allies are pretty much useless, not to mention the heavy localisation of original character names adds more annoyance. But overall, it’s still a great Jrpg for me, the battles get more easier after a while. Right now I only have one side-quest (errand) to go before finishing the game for good, but it requires certain ingredients that are super-rare drops from high level enemies that only spawn at a low percentage D: So I abandoned it for now xD NNK II is a hack n slash type rather than using commands, so it was different but felt more smooth in combat. The challenges (I think it’s post-game) are rather tough though, and in one of the DLCs you face an even tougher final boss which took me ages to complete.
Recently I’m also into a bit of games on Switch as Santa brought it to my little brother last Christmas :3 Currently playing Bayonetta 2 after finishing the first one on PS3 (will replay it on PS4 with Japanese dub to see how it sounds), as well as one of the random Zelda games, plus one of the Metroid games too. So yeah…I’m on the same boat as you - bad track record of finishing any games xD I’m currently hyped for Tekken 8 in January, I just love fighting games even though I prefer RPGs more. Dunno if you heard of Under Night In-Birth series, only one game so far with a few updated versions on PS3 and PS4, sequel is next year. This is one of those 2D fighting games where even a beginner can mash some buttons and hope for the best xD I might start on Melty Blood series soon, I think there is one released on PS4 somewhere. This is the genre that I hardly see anyone playing over here, I might be the one in a million that plays this kind of games xD Then I’m now also into Starcraft Remastered with fan-made mods and campaigns, this is one of those times where a western game shined brightly back in the day and still has a huge fan base since 1999. So while you are stuck in Gatcha hell, I’m stuck in retro-gaming hell xD

I suppose all jobs have some boring parts and trying to get along with people that you hate or despise. This happens to me in every job I’ve been to so far, people can be strange around you just like this world :/ As long as you stay away from their politics, then you are grand. I went back to China to see my relatives in September for 3 weeks, and oh boy…I’m glad I’m not in China any longer. The streets are far more messier in terms of traffic, tall buildings are everywhere like a bunch of Godzillas, and my uncles and aunties always say how everyone in jobs can get onto you (politics) and use you. So my country is now like the wild, so if you are a domesticated animal and trying to live in the wild, you are gone on Day One, which is the metaphor I came up for myself in describing Day One in a job in China. First day in a job here in Ireland is fine, they take easy on you, but something they tell me hinted that the first day in a job in China is a different story. People are more judgemental over there than here in Europe.
Best of luck in finding a job that you like. It’s not easy but you’ll get there :) Business can be boring unless you are a fan of money. I was in an office (doing admin only) but the office deals with a project to bring up a new system for finance across the country. The finance terms popping up in meetings were so boring that I wasn’t able to tune in properly. I’m trying to aim for IT in future even though I got a science degree (didn’t do great on it in the final year). It’s gonna be slow but my aim for now is get away from my parents.

OMG D: That sounds more painful than I thought! Even the names of these disorders sound painful. Good thing it’s getting better, I can’t even imagine how it will be if I got these pains. The only pain I have from time to time is neck pain due to sitting in front of the computer for too long (work and after work). Still, as you mentioned stress, it’s a big killer due to many diseases and disorders that come with it, so people here always advise that if you hate your job, then quit and find another one. Or get onto your union and see what they can do if it’s the management’s problem. As I said above, there are wild animals on the loose in society, especially the high ranked staff like managers or directors. Hope the pain will 100% go away soon, fingers crossed.
I see you are also experiencing this, at least you got to meet people from social media websites. I tend not to go on those websites due to the potential dangers they bring. My job is office based though partially working from home a lot so far. Most colleagues are ladies who are mostly in their mid-40s or above. So none of them are gamers or watch anime or do other stuff that I do. A lot of them don’t even go to cinemas anymore for over a decade due to streaming sites like Netflix took over them. So yeah, times are changing but for me, it’s not for the better :/

I haven’t spoken with Rod for ages, good to know he is doing well.
These songs are pretty good! :) I used to listen to random J-pop songs in the past, so K-pop sounds similar to my ears after listening to all these songs. I like the fact that they are bilingual for Korean and Japanese, reminds me of BoA who sang the 15th OP for Fairy Tail while her other songs are in Korean. For me, recently for the past year and a half I was listening to fan-remixes of Touhou game soundtracks. I was really surprised that there are probably millions of them out there and the original creator just let them do it and sell them in conventions. This is the only open source indie game franchise I’ve ever heard of. A lot of them are on Youtube. I’m more into Eurobeat and Trance but did dive into other genres too. These are some of the songs that I like so far:

This one felt like a typical 90s dance song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o00qXxTtfFg

I could put on lots more Touhou remixes here, the more I listen to them the more addictive it becomes. This is the first song that got me exposed to the game franchise: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkgK8eUdpAo
Here is an original song made by one of the groups that done Touhou remixes:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozsAWHBQ_mM
This is why I love Asian songs. So much emotions and meaning in each song. Western songs are kinda dead for me, a lot of them are really hard to get into. I’m probably the only citizen in the country that listens to Touhou remixes lol.

Your English is always good imo, I don’t remember you were struggling with the language unlike some other users I used to chat to back in the day. I definitely remember the apologizing bit and kinda treated the site as a live chat thing xD I guess everyone went through that phase, even my relatives in China went through the phase on phone chat apps until they remembered that myself and my mom are in a different time zone xD I still remember my bad temper from time to time due to pressures from colleague and deal with my little brother annoying me (now 16 and having another one who is 10 now omg…) U__U" All the clubs are pretty much dead now and I literally left a lot of them. Guess most people moved on and hardly anyone took the thrones. Gonna miss those times too.
We used to exchange novels in the past anyways xDD So this is nothing new :D Just takes more time like always as I still had no privacy a lot of times to reply to chats Orz
An advanced Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! :D

Hello there! Very unique pfp

Hey :) I'm good too !

Yeah i love Fontaine, this is just beautiful and the underwater world is impressive i love to explo :D Also the archon quest was incredible Oo

Hey :) Been a while ! How do you appreciate Fontaine ?

Oh thank you Knight :) I will add you tomorrow since i'm not home today !

Now that i have Nahida i'm playing Keqing again and oh my god what a pleasure she is so op

Yes same , lot of kazuha ( since he is very op ). The first 5 stars i got was Keqing on her banner xD Random pulls cause i didn't know how it worked but i stayed lot of time without any main dps ( noelle and bennet main dps ahahah )

Yup i'm also on Europe :) What's your IUD ?

Ahahah Diluc is actually the character i wanted since i started the game but it took me a very long time before i get it , and now he is C4 xD

I also love Zhongli cause i cannot die with him but now i'm learning how to not play with him everytime lol

Are you playing on Europe ?

I love to play Alhaitham , keqing , Diluc , kokomi , Kazuha and some others :) I also simp a lot for the Harbingers cause they are so class ! What about you ?

Ahahah it's nice to see you back :)

Yup i failed in love with the game and i will surely try Star Rail imo ! Even if genshin alone is more than enought ahahah

Key :) You're back on MAL !

So true, and now I can't believe it's nearly March in 2023! D: Each month felt shorter and shorter...
Yeah it does. I thought the days would be really slow during the Covid dystopia. Yet it went like a flash.
Good thing I have a file with all my passwords, so I can never forget :)

Hope you find somewhere soon, so you can be away from your parents. It's getting harder and harder to find somewhere over here. There was even protests recently over the hardship of renting a place. It's chaotic over here right now over this matter. I couldn't game much nor watch much anime because of staying back with my parents. One day (more like one of these years) I'll be free again :/ An article here in the past mentioned how some people are in their late 30's and yet still staying with their parents due to lack of places to rent and couldn't afford expensive areas due to poverty. Things look grim over here. Wonder how it is over there in Germany.

Ah yes, FF7 Crisis Core remake/remaster, I have it on PS5 but have yet to start it. I kinda started on the PSP version but went nowhere after the beginning. Too many other games caught my interest. So yes, I have the exact same problem as you - started on many games but hardly finished any xD The most recent game I finished was a PS3 game (Heavenly Sword). I'm still hopping back and forth between the five PS consoles, each have many backlogs of games to start and finish. FF7 Remake was excellent, even on PS4 it ran really well. Too bad I didn't wait until PS5 version for the 60 fps as I didn't know they would upgrade this game. But overall it's still cool to play. I might come back to it to finish some side-quests. Recently I finished two long anime games - Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel I and II. Not sure if you heard of it, but the story and music was excellent. The turn based gameplay took sometime to get used to but it really paid off once you get used to it. Now I need to go back to the previous 5 games on PC before continuing on the third game due to the appearances of main characters from the previous games in the third and fourth games of Cold Steel. Though now I'm mainly focusing on finishing off side-quests in Assassin's Creed Unity and Ni No Kuni II, as well as Accel Word x SAO, God of War Ragnarök, Hogwarts Legacy and a new Spongebob game called Cosmic Shake (yes I know it's childish game but I don't care lol!!). I also have some Neptunia games to finish on PC and PS4...so yeah, loads of games started but hardly finished them.

Damn, sorry to hear that :( Hope your job hunt will be successful. Are there any public sector jobs? Because over here at least you won't lose your job due to company closing as it's owned by government.
Ouch...this might be a stupid question but is this a genetic thing? Or did something happened since we last chat? :/ Hope you are ok. Not sure if this kind of pains can recover over time but do take easy as much as possible.
I only suffer occasional neck pains due to staying on PCs and job laptops for too long, but other than that, nothing happened yet.

That's great :) Wish I can meet a MAL user here but I never seen anyone using MAL in this country. I hardly travel, only go to cinemas with a friend when an interesting movie shows up (usually Marvel films as part of MCU) or go to town hanging around random shops by myself. It's getting hard to make friends that has the same interest as me. All the boys in my job are only interested in sports games and they skip story-based games after a while playing due to lack of patience =_= They are also sports people and go to pubs for drinks which neither of them applies to me. Sad life I'm having when I'm fed up staying with my parents Dx Or else I'll be gaming all day or watch anime or TV shows etc when I'm on my own. Orz

Never is too late hahaha I am good, my friend, and you?
Sometimes I miss the old times when we got more leisure time to play in here ~
