@Luna I'm at an age in my life (and have been for a while), where I am constantly surprised at how young I am still and how much time I have left. (When I was 18-24ish, I was almost constantly concerned that I was getting old, and wasting my life, and I needed to do ALL THE THINGS NOW. Of course that could have been due to how I was living, but-- Anywise, yeah. When I was younger I thought I was wasting my youth).

These days I'm constantly amazed I've lived this long, and have at least (hopefully) 50 more years to go. But at the same time I look back and think: Man, I was so young. How did I get "old" (relative old)?

I'm still so young that amount of time I have left on this planet is almost terrifying, but at the same time I've leaved almost three decades and that makes me feel old.

It's weird.

I'm weird.

@Cobaltasaurus , go watch Dusk Maiden of Amnesia.

Also. Goddamn it, Raptor. I have homework to do and a kitchen to clean! Why do you do this to me?! WHY?!!!!

I didn't mention this in my original list because I hadn't finished it, and I'm not looking for recommendations based on it because I'm fairly certain it's unique.

I was watching B Gata H Kei: Yamada's First Time on netflix (and finished last night). The synposis for it makes it sound reeeaaallly bad. As the synopsis is basically: "Yamada wants to screw a thousand guys before she graduates".

In reality the show is about a very pretty, but socially awkward as hell high school girl who decides its time to lose her "v-card". Problem is she's, as mentioned, socially awkward and doesn't know how to go about it. So she picks the first guy she thinks is a "cherry boy". The rest of the show is cute hijinks and misunderstandings and the slow descent into a girl's first love.

There is no actual sex in it, and there's barely any nudity. There are nipples but they don't get shown until the last two (or maybe just the last, it blends together because I watched the last four or so episodes at once) episodes. You never see anything below the waist.

It is a very "adult" (in that there is NSFW content) show though.

But it's a very cute, and very earthy sort of coming of age story for one very raunchy teenage girl.

I'd recommend it.

Now back to looking over your guys lists.

@Glitch Can't tell if sarcasm or not. slowly slinks away in confusion

Y'all are the type of people who put thumb takes in the bike lanes, aren't you? Good lord. Why is it such an inconvenience to wait a few more seconds to turn when there's someone on a bike going past? Maybe, the city I live in (In Oregon, thank you) just has me spoiled but motorists and bicyclists here don't seem to be assholes. Oh, there's someone on a bike next to me? I slow down and let them pass the road I want to turn into before turning. So, you know, I DON'T HIT SOMEONE because HOW DARE THEY RIDE A BIKE. When I'm on a bike myself, I use the bike lane and I obey traffic laws. The light at the intersection is red? I wait until it is green. I need to turn? I signal with my arm.

THAT ASIDE:

My peeve of the day --

I'll preface this with I am not a youngun anymore. I'm in my late twenties, I'm only a few years away from being 30 now. But good god "older" people being wistfully nostalgic about "the good old days" is so fucking weird. Yes, there were times in the past where things were different -- I grew in the age where there were still cassette tapes, and floppy disks were still a thing but were mostly going away.

Why do you want to talk about the times when you didn't have computers? Or the internet? Those times were awful. YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THEM ON THE INTERNET. If you want those days back so much turn off your fucking computer and go play with a frisbee in the yard.

I like the preview thing on the side, but I kind of wish it told me what thread the previews were for.

/me whinges.

@HelloRaptor Is it on Netflix, and/or Crunchyroll?

@Admiral said:

I've yet to meet anyone who didn't like the former, and the latter had me almost in tears.

Well. I watched the first episode of Madoka Magica, and I ... want to like it. But the art style reminds me of the level of art friends of mine were capable of in middle school (this is only in regards to the characters. My god the scenery is beautiful, why can't they make the characters not look like a middle schooler drew them?)

So Madoka Magica is not on my list of anime to watch.

I require professionally done anime to not remind me of something a thirteen year old drew.

@Admiral No. I was reading the slapfight between @HelloRaptor and @Kireek for a while, and then when that died down I was skimming and my eyes caught on 'Black Butler' and I remembered that I won't watch it because I don't like the art style.

Please, there are 'cuddle' businesses out there.

The last thing I read before I stopped reading was "Black Butler", which i know was suggested to me. Which I won't watch because I don't like the art style.

Are there any other suggestions that have been suggested that have that art style?

Up on the top where it says Mu Soapbox, there should be a little like inbox icon, and it'll have a number next to it representing the number of unread threads. Click it and you get a list of new posts.

Cobaltasuari prefer nice neat rows. However, Cobaltasauri are also bothered by the obscene amounts of white space at the bottom of the rows. : /

@Sunny @JinShei @surreality Thank you!

I'll add those to the list of prebuilt "genres".

RE: private events, it's always been a want of mine to be able to make +Event/private -- which is visible only to staff and the players invited (and would in theory only notify those players). Taking out notification to the +Bbs, and changing how people see new +Events may make this a little easier.

Hhm. May need to make a private / non-private tag for events. HHHHM.

Okay, @Thenomain is evil, and has issued me a challenge. This challenge will result in an overhaul of some of the fiddlybits in my events code.

One will be a definition of available genres (don't panic staff will be able to add new ones).

To make things easier I would like to have a couple of lists people can plug in without doing the commands one by one. (Instead on install they just grab the attribute and set it).

So some thoughts.

@Thenomain
Oh, well. Considering some of the PRPs she's run, I didn't think she'd mind gore, but okay! Never mind!

Okay, watch he first episode and if you're feeling alright, watch on, MacDuff.

Things Cobaltasauri can write about but cannot watch on TV:

• Dismemberment.
• Cannibalism.

Granted this is typically in live action stuff, where there is graphic gore vs animated gore.

I got through Akira 3x3 Eyes (or whatever the hell it is), and uh, fuck, I forgot the name of it but it had samurai in it going after a bunch of demons, and there was an old monk that said "Oooh, the cicadas are singing' but he turned out to be a demon later on but was kinda a good guy, and then there was a little girl who sang a riddle and bounced a ball and she turned out to be a demon, and they blew up half her face -- and I think only the female samurai survived.

Granted that was years ago when I was in middle school and I haven't watched any 'gorey' anime in a long time, so I could be more squeamish.

I'll check out some of these and let you guys know what I think. Not positive where to start, so I'll probably pick one at random.

I'm looking for some anime suggestions. I watched all of 'Princess Jellyfish' in one night, and was sad to find there was no more (I'm slowly reading the manga!).

But I'd like something to watch too. Things I've liked in the past:

• Sailormoon
• Cowboy Bebop
• Samurai Champloo (ssssiiiigggh)
• Gundamn Wing
• Princess Jellyfish (more like this would be awesome)
• Chobits
• Magic Knight Rayearth (& Magic Knight Rayearth 2)
• Slayers (I watched through Slayers Try, but can't get my hands on the fourth and fifth seasons. :sad: )
• BLUE SEED (probably my favoritests ever)

• Note:
  If you tell me to watch Inu Yasha, I will punch you in the face.

I hope it will be good. I think R2 might enjoy it.

@Chime @silentsophia ....

Now I need to watch Gundam Wing again.

and she has a Relic that gives her 8-again on her pool of 15 dice.

I was skimming past this post to get to the most recent one and misread this as: "And she has a relic magic 8-ball".

I was like wait- what? Awesome!

And was sorely disappointed.
