Happy birthday! :)

It's okay, and you're welcome ~

Happy birthday! :)

I love the Chimera Ant arc. It's definitely my favorite arc in HxH. I need to rewatch it again at some point, it's been a few years.

No problem! We do, good taste!

Yeah, I got married in Canada and we moved to Japan shortly after and now I have two daughters. Super busy now lol

I've got a couple side projects, one is a game I've been making on my own for a number of years. Other than the music I do the art and programming myself. If you're interested: https://goldenbeardgames.com/ (you might get a security warning, I haven't updated my SSL certificate as I've been meaning to move hosting to a cloud server)

The other project I work on is for automating a bit of daytrading (which I was spending way too much of my real time on). It's a good learning experiment for programming which also helps me in my day job haha

Now for games I've been working my way through the whole Ultima series for the last couple years, I've gone through Ultima 1-7 and both Underworld games. They're pretty old school but I loved Ultima 6 as a kid and I played thousands of hours of Ultima Online as a teenager

I've also been playing Deep Rock Galactic and Sea of Thieves with a couple friends, I just started Resident Evil 8 (excellent game, not as scary as RE7 but a great mix of action and suspense so far), looking forward to the RE4 remake next month too! After the RE4 remake I'm not sure what's next, I might go back through some older stuff

I thought I had you on Steam but can't remember your display name. I think it used to be PlatinumZero or something along those lines but I don't see that name these days. (EDIT: Maybe it's PlatinumSouls actually, I thought I didn't see you but when I jsut checked again I see your name. Mine's Mellowlink)

That's great! I'm doing pretty well too, I have a family these days so when I'm not working I'm usually spending time with family or working on a side project. I've been working in Japan since the end of 2018 so that's been pretty cool.

I haven't kept up with anime watching at all, I watch the odd retro thing here and there but it's just been too busy for a couple years lol, so I usually default to playing games in the evening once I'm settled.

No worries man, I might check MAL once every week or two if I'm not actively watching something so I'm usually pretty bad at replying myself haha, nice to hear from you! How've you been?

Hey man, hope everything's going well for you in 2022!

Whoa big delay, I don't check comments as often as I used to.

Sorry to hear that man, it may sound cliche but ups & downs seem to come in cycles. This year has been pretty shitty globally too.

Steam id is jeremy_roy, my display name has been Mellowlink for as long as I remember. These days I usually get in a couple games of Deep Rock Galactic with a couple friends regularly.

Same here. I usually update mid season or at the end of the season. That's true. I definitely think humour is a good way to deal with stuff. Although, I had a therapist make me feel really bad and uncomfortable for using humour as a coping mechanism earlier this year. I was pretty much like "what" because I had gone about anxiety. It was my first appointment. I didn't go back. He was 100% a reptile in human skin.

Just googling the game. It looks really pretty, and the idea sounds great.

It really, really is. The world feels really disjointed too. It's still really awkward to visit friends/family in other countries too. Any ideas what you could do to get a change of pace? Only 3.5 months left of 2021.

Hm. Anime and meeting up with cosplay friends is what helps me at the moment. We've got a few group chats too, and those are really nice. It feels like a decade since I've been in group chats with people who know my personality etc, so. Damn. It's actually really cool. I recommend finding one if you don't already. It will help pull you out of your head a bit - and people like us really need that.

I loved Hades

Hmm, don't think I upgraded anything else since our last talk. The folder shortcut to my shared folders across PC's seems to be the best solution for that issue I was having. Thankfully my 2060 and 1060 can suffice for now. Damn you won some Newegg lotteries? I'll have look into those haha.

Damn! Like how many bosses or where were you at in Bloodborne? It's actually not as long as some of the Souls games, so you were probably far at 20 hours in. That's a huge chunk to lose. I'm still more of a physical media guy with consoles for reasons like these. I'm cool with digital on PC. But yeah never had any interest in the streaming services...

Can't blame you on Sekiro. It's hard as hell heh. I'm never too big on the idea of rogue-likes but I do want to check Hades out for sure. Looked and sounded really good from everything I heard.

I'm playing Shin Megami Tensei 3 on PS2 right now, 64 hours deep and loving it! It's blown me away and now I'm excited to dig into more SMT. For other stuff, I did beat Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order recently, that was really cool.

Other than that... man, a lot has happened since April, lmao. I quit my job without a backup plan, but I was utterly miserable doing night shift for a year and had enough of all the overtime from that job of 5 years. I have since then been on a journey trying to build up for more opportunities in the future. Taking some Udemy courses on Python, SQL, went through a book, etc. I quit in late June, but it's felt like I've still been working part time at least since then haha. Been keeping busy for sure, trying to do some projects and such every day. Finally saw some friends last night for a wrestling show and some Tekken, so that was cool too. Just living off my savings as it drains up for awhile. I don't regret anything at all but yeah, always a little scary not having any income for a bit. I'll have to take a job soon probably, but hopefully in the near future I'll be leveling up in life!

Oh my gosh, sorry for my ridiculously slow reply. 2020 got worse and 2021 I've been so tired. My life is just battling fatigue right now haha (why am I laughing lol).

I hope your 2021 has been better! Table top games are really nice and comfy. I've only had the chance to play some occassionally. But honestly, that's a really great hobby to have.

How're things? I don't come on here as often as I'd like, I'm super busy these days.

I should still have you on Steam though, I don't we ever got around to playing anything together.
