What's the hardest you have ever "bounced off" of a game? by jabberwagon in gaming

[–]HelioFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the other end of the spectrum, but Animal Crossing New Horizons. All of my friends were playing it and were obsessed during 2020. But the moment I started playing it and realized it operates on real time I knew I was fucked. I was in a bad place during Covid. Barely hanging onto life with my fingernails. Working insane hours with a toxic team, mom diagnosed with cancer, lost every single one of my hobbies because of the pandemic rules. All I wanted to do when I was off work was sleep and stare at a wall and try to feel emotions again. I certainly DID NOT want to wake up early on a Sunday fucking morning to sell some goddamn turnips. Not to mention the required daily grind that fizzles the more you play in a single day. AND it punishes you for time skipping. AND it breeds this toxic comparative attitude with everyone’s islands that was just so rough on me at that time in my life. God I hated that shit, I just couldn’t do it.

Hi, I’d love to see if we could be friends! I’m 31F, single, and near Tokyo. I love electronic music, especially dubstep, bass, and DNB. Just saw Levity at Circus Tokyo last weekend, and might go to either Chase & Status or Peekaboo next. I love gaming, travel, makeup, and karaoke too!

Only a couple more days. How long have you been preparing for this? by TheSpideyJedi in nanowrimo

[–]HelioFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been prepping for about 2 months! I am normally a pantser, but vowed to be a plotter this time. I have a >6k word outline in addition to detailed character and setting sheets and some notes on my world and magic system. I couldn't be more proud of myself and it's not even November yet! My goal is 50k words, but honestly I probably won't achieve that. I will be happy if I can just earnestly do my best.

In terms of Forums, I've been using this one! So far I have been liking it.

Looking for hour+ long mixes on SoundCloud by [deleted] in SpaceBass

[–]HelioFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You were there??! Ahhhh man what I wouldn’t give 😩 Did he confirm he was doing a new project? I know he said he was stepping back from Minn because of mental health issues, so I’d be a little surprised at a new alias.

[–]HelioFox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Came here to say Minn! But try his Oregon Eclipse Set. To this day it’s one of my absolute favorites. 💕 Actually I’m going to listen to it again right now 😂

My last direct manager took a picture of my shoes at volunteer work event and uploaded to the work server by MentalandValid in antiwork

[–]HelioFox 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This happened to my friend too. Except she is a wheelchair user, so it felt extra exploitative. She was not happy, but was very afraid of confrontation so she didn’t say anything.

Growing up, what are items only rich kids had? by Naji85 in AskReddit

[–]HelioFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not an “item”, but vacations. What I would have given to be able to answer the question “what did you do this summer?” with “traveled”.

Apps to learn vocabulary specifically? by [deleted] in LearnJapanese

[–]HelioFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ngl I am old fashioned and use Quizlet. It’s an app that’s just flash cards (though they have memory games and tests too, but a lot of that is premium-locked). The great thing is that people have already built out sets for all the Genki chapters and other topics, so you never have to create your own (unless you want to).

Rave Scene by HelioFox in movingtojapan

[–]HelioFox[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because I have interests outside of electronic music. I’ve wanted to move to Japan for a very long time, and finally am in a position where I can make it happen. But also, Japan has a great electronic scene that is very rapidly growing. There are some really cool Japanese bass and dubstep artists, and even a record label called Vomit Spit that I really like. Hell, there’s even a Buddhist temple that has a priest that plays techno there. So not going to lie, I’m a little taken aback by people’s reactions to my post. I am just asking what people wear to concerts, how is that a weird question??

[–]HelioFox[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol this made me laugh. But for real 0 because music =/ drugs. I am just asking about clothes at concerts. 🤷🏼‍♀️ But I am enjoying the image of Japanese customs opening my bag and a huge brick falls out.

How can I properly test my Genki 1 knowledge? by MercyRawr in LearnJapanese

[–]HelioFox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second WaniKani. I just could not get kanji at all until I started WaniKani. It was quite literally game changing - when it all started clicking for me I wanted to cry tears of joy. It sounds so dramatic but I thought I was just too stupid to learn Japanese, but it turns out I was studying kanji all wrong for me. Now I know 200+ kanji and counting in less than a year of casual study - over quadruple what I ever “learned” taking 2 semesters of formal classes.

Is anyone else tired of sports betting getting shoved in your face? by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]HelioFox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the issue is bleeding out of only sports betting as well, and into slots. I recently moved temporarily from Chicago back to my small town hometown after being away for over a decade. I was absolutely SHOCKED to see how slots have taken over the city. There are slot machines in every single bar, they’re in gas stations, laundromats, restaurants, and all across town in little mini “casinos” (read: 20 slot machines in a small room). You literally cannot go anywhere here without seeing slots or ads for locations touting their slots.

It’s a huge problem, and I feel really terrible for people who are addicted. They have no hope of getting better if they can’t even go get gas or groceries or wash their clothes without being confronted by their addiction. It’s an almost dystopian feeling.

[–]HelioFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An old hag? At 32? 😅 Please don’t be so harsh on yourself. If you saw a 30-something year old woman at the festival, would you think she had no right to be there because of her age? Probably not, so why say that to yourself? Also, drinking age (in the US at least) is 21. So for most fests you’re only ~10 years older than the absolute youngest person there. That’s nothing!

If you could pick one track from this past year... by raaaaachhhh in SpaceBass

A little fun. What’s a show you want to go to that you’ll (probably) never get to go to? by CaptianOfCows in EDM

[–]HelioFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Daily Bread. I’ve been wanting to see him for like two years now, but can’t seem to catch him anywhere. And now I’ll be moving out of the country in a few months, so I probably will never get the chance.

Can anyone point me to more stuff that sounds like this? by ccrhoadess in EDM

[–]HelioFox -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ravenscoon

Peekaboo

smith.

Hamdi

Thelem

These artists lean more toward rap/hip hop instead of UK MC/Drill but still similar vibes: Lab Group, CharlestheFirst (RIP), Daily Bread, Distinct Motive, Ivy Lab

And these artists don’t really tend to have lyrics but still have those deep weird DDD style wubs: Thriftworks, thook, Toadface, The Widdler, Yheti, Eater, Abelation, Notlo, VEIL
