I received some big news today. I would rather not get into the details but essentially I've been given an opportunity to set myself up financially for life. It would eat up all my time in the near future, but that dedication now could almost assuredly give me all the time in the world later on in my life to do as I please.

On the other hand I could maintain my current job and put myself through school that could eventually lead to something I genuinely want to do. Something that fulfills me and gives me purpose. Something I wouldn't likely get in the other scenario for at least 10 years.

It's a choice between large amounts of money that almost guarantee security versus potential financial instability but creative freedom and fulfillment.

I'm not necessarily asking for advice, I'm just interested in people's thoughts on the situation. I already know what I'm going to do.

1: Naruto and Gamakichi



2: Team 7



3: Team 7 Genin



4: Search for Tsunade Arc

I'm leaning towards #1. What do you guys think?

I just replaced the 3 colour ink packages and it's saying my black levels are fine.

It's been several days since my last full meal. I can't remember what it was. Probably pizza. 10AM, today. Drove to get a cold beverage from the fast food place. Came home, did some stuff. 10 PM now. Haven't eaten anything more than a slice of bread at 3 PM. And that was because my sister offered it to me when she got home, not because I was hungry. This has been going on for several months. According to my doctor, I'm perfectly healthy. Hunger is no longer a ringing sensation in my stomach, but a virtual sticky note on the back of my brain.

I'm the dragon warrior, surviving on nothing but the dew of a single ginko leaf and the energy of the universe.

Seems to be a retelling of the very first episode of the anime, or perhaps a follow up to the Ho-oh spotting. Either way, it's coming to theatres, so gotta show my support for this kind of thing.

Where were you when Ash first met Pikachu? Journey back to where it all began in Pokémon the Movie: I Choose You!, coming soon to a theater near you. Visit our official site for more details on how can preorder tickets—you won't want to miss this exciting theatrical event!

Overall I think Shippuden really falls flat in its ending. Everything from 1 to 400 really feels fine in terms of pacing if you skip the filler, and there aren't many flashbacks in the canon episodes I watched. But just after the dub ends*, and the sub picks up (403) they start mixing the flashbacks into the episodes. I swear, I've seen the Kakashi/Obito split face images 3000 times.

On top of that, the Kaguya storyline didn't really do much for me. Neither did the Sasuke Vs. Naruto fight at the end. When Sasuke declared he wanted to become Hokage, I got amped, because I thought maybe his character had finally grown a bit. But it turned out he was just changing the definition of Hokage and basically continuing what he was always trying to do. I now know why he is the worst character in anything, ever.

I skipped the Sunrise and Shikamaru storylines originally but I'm going through them now. I also plan on watching some of the "important" filler, like the Jiraiyah story and Itachi story. Just seems interesting to me.

Since I also subscribed to Crunchyroll I got access to Boruto, which I got caught up with. Epsideo 23 just aired, and it finishes the manga story arc dealing with Sarada's parentage. Pretty well done, I enjoyed it. I know the manga retells the story of the Boruto movie, at their chunin exams, but I'm fine with the anime taking its time catching up. It's pretty good for the most part. Boruto himself isn't quite as autistic as Naruto was (but I still find both to be enjoyable characters). That opening scene really sets the stage for where the series is going. There've only been 3 filler episodes so far, too.

Things left for me to finish watching:

The Last: Naruto Movie
Itachi's Story
Sasuke's Story
Shikamaru's Story
Jiraiyah's Story

But overall, it's been a wild ride and I'm glad to say I'm finally finished. Probably my new favourite anime, despite only watching 2 in my whole life. I think next will be Full Metal Alchemist or Bleach.

*turns out, the dub wasn't "dropped", it's just taking forever to be released. 402 is the last dubbed episode, but 403-417 is coming out in December IIRC.

I'M HIGHER THAN SECONDCLASS'S HAIR LINE

Someone just woke me up. I don't why, or by who, or why I was put under, but suddenly, I'm in the cockpit of a fighter jet of some kind, and I'm in free fall. My instincts take over, and I somehow manage to curb the descent into a simple glide with a flick of a few switches. With the pressure relieved, I begin to figure out why my vehicle is off. I couldn't explain to you the little intricacies of a fighter jet's mechanics, but unlike my current method of transportation, I'm working in autopilot. Eventually I get it started.

As I'm gliding throught he skies, I can see the terrain beneath me. It's a mountain range, but there's lots of green and brown colours, indicating a losing battle for the vegetation. Houses litter the landscape, ranging from red, two-stories, to yellow bungalows. There are no paved roads, only dirt paths worn from years of migration. As I begin to piece together my situation -- where I am, what year it is, what I'm doing -- a persistent beeping begins from my heads up display. Looking behind me I see several similar looking aircrafts following in pursuit. For some reason, I know they're not friendly.

Again, my insticts take over. It's almost as if I'm watching someone else control my movements, just along for the ride. With a learned turn of the joystick, my plane barrels into a controlled downward spiral. 3 tail me, another two planes maintain their altitude to watch from a distance.

I don't know how I knew this, but my craft was simply better than theirs. It must have been a new model, vastly superior, because I could easily recycle the air between my wings, changing my direction and speed on a dime. Whereas they were mostly what you'd see in a WW2 battle scene. I pop on the breaks and fall behind the 3, easily taking them down with a few trigger pulls. It was a blur, and I don't remember the details. I just knew that I was impressed, as an outsider, watching. The other two leave after their comrades began plummeting in a group of fireballs towards the ground. I lower my altitude and hover 15 feet from the ground, moving 200 hundred kilometers an hour.

Eventually I stop and get out. It's an estate with a 3 story red building and a garage. Deserted. The windows are cracked and the doors are wide open. I manage to find a bag and with it with supplies. Whatever I can find, which isn't much. A pistol, a half empty bottle of water, a baseball cap. I get back in the jet, and continue on my way.

20 minutes later after looting several houses, something catches my eye: it's a billboard with someone I recognise on it. A girl, someone that meant a lot to me. I don't know how I knew that. But she's framed in the same way Marilyn Manson was in this, though she was wearing a white shirt. I completely stop the vehicle, and get out. Beside it, there's a small yellow bungalow lifted 10 feet off the ground, as though it was attempting to avoid a flood. Unlike most of the houses, the windows were barracaded and the door was closed. But I don't really pay attention to that. I hop out of the craft and stare at the billboard, trying to piece together what little I remember.

My mind goes blank again. Suddenly I'm in the same place I was before, but the door of the house is wide open, and the balcony is filled with a dozen worn-down looking people. An older gentlemen, no more than 55, stood behind the rest, mostly women and children. I'm being spoke to, but I tune it out, mostly paying attention to the people on the balcony. I eventually come to my senses and look to see who is speaking to me. It's the girl on the billboard. She's not wearing the shirt, but she's definitely the same person. My insides begin to pain, something I find strange. I couldn't even comprehend what she was saying to me. Or maybe I did, I just don't remember. Suddenly, a young man, a few years younger than me, perhaps, pulls the girl away from me. He stares meaningfully at her. It's evident that he cares quite a lot about her. He appears to be arguing with her, but I can't make out the words, or don't remember them. The pain continues to worsen.

Time skips again. I get back in my fighter jet, and as the glass cockpit cover closes, she looks up at me, and me down at her. The kid puts his arm around her, and they walk back into the home. The scene is over.

Tell me. What do you think of this. What does it mean to you.

Need something to keep me occupied when I don't have internet access.

Gunna pick up Vice City first cuz it's like 3 dollars.

My brother decided to give me his old Razer laptop. He's notoriously shitty at taking care of his possessions but I wasn't about to turn down a $2000 gaming laptop, so I accepted it. However, upon start up, both the trackpad and keyboard didn't work. I plugged an external mouse into the USB port, and both the built-in keyboard and mouse started to work. The problem seems to pop-up after every restart/wake up.

Has anyone come across this before?
