Fact (possibly outdated by like a decade): The fun, sporty cars with the happiest customers are not the six-figure supercars but rather some budget stuff from Mazda (like the Miyata).

Expensive cars are pretty much unilaterally a waste of money.

That doesn't mean I don't think a certain era of, say, garish Lamborghinis, don't look really cool.

Personally I'm hoping that, if the next vehicle I get is four-wheeled, it'll finally make sense to get all-electric. But I suppose that almost by definition, by the time I'll get them, they won't be "fancy".

>w< Penrose...! *flying tackle hug*

Of course you got a return offer, you smart puppy you. <3

(Though more soberly I do hope it's actually somewhere worth returning. Not, say, some place that chews people out and spits them back out. That would be bad.)

*Extra huggles* :>

Just hi~

17 Nice! Are you graduating penrose? Man, time flies.

also doesn't the forum's constant nagging to verify your human bugs you? we're like the only two non bots who even visit this place

85 i killed two cockroaches crawling over the stove! these mofos are smart! they hide until dark and you leave the kitchen and they crawl out from every crook and cranny and try to scavenge for food!  I happen to make tea to try to improve my mood ("whenever you don't know what to do make tea" they say) and I turn on the light and I find these mofos crawling on the stove. So much for improving my mood.

 

After killing two of them I do feel a bit better I guess

I am doing relatively okay. This year has been an oddly okay time to be unemployed while trying to sort out sleep problems groggily at home. Which is going half-okay, though the whole CPAP machine thing remains a mixed bag even after I've been trying to make it work for half a year.

But I still live with my family (actually my eldest sister even came home during the pandemic so it's the entire family of five now), and we've all been locked up snugly in the pandemic like only a family of snuggly introverts can. Which isn't to say we haven't been going a little stir-crazy from time to time.

And I've been reading lots of manga and playing lots of games. As one does with lots of free time indoors.

Penrose has been seen around periodically, though current rate is like once every few months so crossing paths might be difficult. ~.~ But I'm still expecting to see him again, broadly speaking.

Are you doing okay? I fervently hope you are doing well. >~< It has been such a long year for just about everyone, of course, but all the more reason one hopes one's friends are doing well.

And it is quite nice to have you visit.

<3

Much love, and if you're not sticking around, take care of yourself, okay? (Actually please take care of yourself regardless. o.o)

Aagh
It's so nice to see you're still here, pokari! How's life treating you? Wish I could see penrose too.

Hey guys. I read some manga again after a long time:

https://mangadex.org/title/25229/hokuou-kizoku-to-moukinzuma-no-yukiguni-karigurashi

good to see everyone is still active, I have online class 6 days a week nowadays and lots of other things happened

That second one has been on my to-read list for a while >w<

I am sorry you have online classes from hell, although that does seem to be the going thing :/

Anyway hi, hi, hi~! *tackle-hugs* >w<

We the guardians of the vatoto forum certify that you have completed the quest of dragon slaying and has returned with the dragon crystal. You may now enter the sacred chamber to proceed with your ascension to kingship in accordance with the ancient rites.

I second the above-signed. But add that one should be careful because no one's sure what it's kingship of. We hope it's something fluffy and heartwarming.

Advanced aging brought on by pressure - all those cortisol and no where to go

good to see you checking back in once in a while, thou

It's never snowy here so complain all you want. u.u

I'm sorry about the course, though.

Honestly, I wouldn't worry about the batteries. Lithium ion batteries last pretty long now if they're not garbage. Conversely, the one time I tried to store an extra battery at exactly 40% long term (after looking it up) it was dead a couple years later when I next tried it (and the battery I'd been using all in the meantime was still okay). It's almost definitely not worth the effort of keeping it "optimal", especially since a lot of the electronic manufacturers are usually already doing some of that for you (e.g. 100% on a phone is usually not actually 100% of what it could charge to, for exactly this reason).

Always good to see you check back in pen ... best wishes for the new year

Been like over half a year, but here's some more paints/concept works that i did

 

Literally a year between posts, Weathering With You just came out in the US so I made a fanart of it!
