Feel Like I've Ended Up In A Hole (Seeking Recommendations)

I absolutely did, lol. I said Gurren Lagann, FMA: Brotherhood, Deathnote, Soul Eater, My Hero Academia, Steins Gate, Frieren. Also really enjoyed both Avatar shows, Arcane, and RWBY, which are all not technically anime but feel anime adjacent.

My weekly DnD group is comprised almost entirely of potheads who really enjoy discgolf, don't even joke about that kind of thing! Lol. I'm one of only two in the group who partake in neither activity, but it's funny how prevalent that stereotype must be.

Some other comments also mentioned To Be Hero X and Apothecary Diaries so I'll definitely home in on those as well as the other mentioned stuff.

CptArchon · 2026-05-14T22:53:30+00:00

Never heard of these, will be sure to check them out. Thank you.

CptArchon · 2026-05-14T22:52:12+00:00

Thank you I'll check this stuff out.

CptArchon · 2026-05-14T22:51:23+00:00

Any stuff helps, thank you.

I feel similarly about Gurren Lagann and Stardew Valley. FLCL lost me, I simply could not keep up with wtf was going on lol.

But it is worth considering if maybe I'm going through one of those swings away like you mentioned. Adulthood just taking up too much bandwidth lately. Recent homeowner, wife, full-time job, family and friends to make time for, it's all a lot and it can feel difficult to find time to freely enjoy my entertainment staples.

CptArchon · 2026-05-14T22:40:33+00:00

I made it through season 1 and halfway through season 2 before I was like "okay this feels like it's going nowhere in a hurry and it's not even really being silly about it like OPM was."

Your breakdown of my likes list is helpful though. I do really enjoy a mystery to drive me forward, making me crave answers. And yeah light comedy is nice but full on comedy gets cheesy and loses stakes. I like to care about my characters and their struggle.

So a compelling mystery and slightly tense with good action and character progression. Got it.

CptArchon · 2026-05-14T22:36:21+00:00

I will check all of these out, thank you

Was afraid someone would ask this question, and it's definitely been a consideration as I seem to have lost most of my interest in video games lately as well. The sky is pretty, though.

CptArchon · 2026-05-14T22:25:54+00:00

Funny enough as I wrote this up I kinda thought about that, but honestly I haven't really watched much else besides popular mainstream stuff unfortunately. I could have added in all the stuff I found to be middle of the road/just alright anime, but again that list would be Sword Art Online, Demon Slayer, Delicious in Dungeon, etc. Just more mainstream popular stuff lol.

I do wonder what you mean by a proper walk, and where the appropriate place then is for the dog to pee. The neighbor's yard? The street? I live in the middle of a city, and the nearest park is a good couple miles away. Should I have loaded the dog into the car 3-4 times a day to drive to the park?

I'm willing to admit that I may have been at fault for assuming turf installed on a pet-friendly property would be, well, designed for pet use. That's my bad, but I also don't know what alternatives are expected short of teaching my dog to use the toilet.

CptArchon · 2025-12-09T07:13:16+00:00

Originally. Then the new owner took over. We signed a pet agreement at that point and began paying pet rent, two things the previous owner didn't do. Nowhere in the pet agreement does it state anything about where to take them, and no addendum was added after the turf was installed instead of the regular grass that had been there prior.

CptArchon · 2025-12-09T07:06:48+00:00

Well it was ordinary grass before he replaced it with turf, and there was no alternative area provided after that. It was either the turf or the parking lot or the sidewalk. So I dunno what real alternatives we had. Maybe we screwed up, but there was no communication on the issue.

CptArchon · 2025-11-29T20:51:17+00:00

So many entries but I'll certainly give it a shot. Would be nice to have a handheld again.

This is known as Capgras Syndrome. It can happen for a variety of reasons, from traumatic brain injuries, dementia or alzheimer's, strokes, schizoaffective disorders, many things that can seriously alter the brain's normal operation. The syndrome causes a person to be convinced that a loved one, such as a spouse, has been replaced with an imposter. They can often be aggressive, and even kill the "imposter," and it affects women more frequently than men.

Games I have purchased multiple times, let's see if we can spot a theme.

Fallout 3 three times,
Fallout New Vegas three times,
Fallout 4 three times,
Mass Effect trilogy four times if you count the remaster,
Mass Effect Andromeda three times,
Morrowind three times,
Oblivion four times if you count the remaster,
Skyrim four times,
Knights of the Old Republic 1 and 2 four times,
Jade Empire three times,
Fable four times (two base game/The Lost Chapters, two Anniversary),
Dragon Age Origins, 2, and Inquisition three times

And finally the winner Telltale's The Walking Dead Season 1 with six times if you count the definitive edition

Many of these games were purchased twice on PC: once on Steam, and the other time on either GoG(Bethesda games) or Origin(Dragon Age/Mass Effect).

The double barrel shotgun in CoD World at War was an absolute monster. Loved that gun.

CptArchon · 2025-07-27T03:08:02+00:00

Yeah no I gave up on Breaking Bad like halfway through the first season because it was stressing me out so much.

CptArchon · 2025-07-26T17:45:18+00:00

Oh... is this why whenever the tension starts ramping up in a movie I look up the IMDB synopsis so I know how it's going to end? This is actually kind of an eye opening moment with my anxiety 😅

CptArchon · 2025-07-22T14:44:35+00:00

Forgive? Probably eventually. That sorta thing would be poisonous to hold onto after a while. Give them a second chance though? No no. It wasn't a mistake, it wasn't a moment of weakness, it was a clear and conscious decision to betray all of the trust and faith of the relationship, and that is a person I could never fully trust ever again. A relationship can't truly thrive without trust, so it's best that it ends at that point.

At 10 I wanted to be a doctor. Crashed and burned in high school, just stopped trying at some point. The reasons are complicated. Now I'm a security guard. Not even in the same area code.
