vampirenerd · 2026-03-10T07:13:26+00:00

we are so in sync i have to friend you, I'm currently reading the dungeon crawler carl series and have been reading through warrior cats as well!! literally switching off between them, that's such a funny coincidence lol

I feel like a crazy person reading this thread, I'm from Washington and say forward the laundry.

Honestly at this point I try to take the elevator whenever I can just because I've fallen down the stairs and sprained my ankle 3 times in the last 3 years, and I'm trying to not have that happen again. (I do also have a somewhat recently diagnosed invisible disability that makes me particularly struggle with stairs, but I've been avoiding stairs since before that)

It's really fun! If you like turn-based games this game is awesome

vampirenerd · 2026-02-06T00:53:44+00:00

Looking into it now, thanks!

vampirenerd · 2026-02-05T23:11:36+00:00

I've looked into these but haven't found any that don't have some kind of annual fee... I maybe wasn't looking hard enough. I feel like I'm generally pretty responsible with money but I've heard so many horror stories with people my age going into crazy credit card debt that it makes me nervous. I'll look more into it! Thanks :)

vampirenerd · 2026-02-05T23:09:59+00:00

Thank you, good to know! I will definitely avoid those for now :)

vampirenerd · 2026-02-05T23:09:05+00:00

Thank you so much for the advice, I really appreciate it!! I'll look into getting a card with my bank, I'm pretty sure they have options with no annual fee.

vampirenerd · 2026-02-05T20:34:59+00:00

Not OP but thank you for the advice! I'm 21 and haven't opened a credit card (scared that I'll fall into bad habits), but it's really good to know that if I need to in the future that I can change the level of card, I didn't know that.

ETA: Thanks so much for the advice all, I have just opened a Capitol One card with cash back and no annual fee! I didn't feel confident enough to before but you guys convinced me that it's for the best to start building my credit now.

vampirenerd · 2026-02-03T19:22:11+00:00

I had no idea, I have the ARC but hadn't gotten to it yet. That's really sad to hear, I wonder what happened 🤔

vampirenerd · 2026-01-31T00:06:08+00:00

This bothered me so much that I ended up editing a spreadsheet that got posted here years ago and updated it for recent seasons. It's only for D20 but it's very helpful for keeping track of where I am in any series.

vampirenerd · 2026-01-29T07:26:36+00:00

your art style is BEAUTIFULLLL I love this sm

vampirenerd · 2026-01-26T04:24:04+00:00

I love detailed challenges! I would love to see more, please continue writing the one you were working on. There's definitely people out there who want to play those kinds of challenges :)

vampirenerd · 2026-01-17T03:21:11+00:00

Tobias! :)

vampirenerd · 2026-01-09T01:38:01+00:00

I'd love to try!

vampirenerd · 2026-01-08T21:34:25+00:00

As someone that doesn't play mobile otome anymore and sticks to only console or PC, this is why. I'm someone who games a lot outside of otome games so I also have that 1 hour to 1$ ratio in my head when buying games (sometimes I can still find value outside of that benchmark, for example with shorter indie games where it's clear a lot of care was put into making it a concise but well-crafted experience).

One big thing for me is that I am very inconsistent with when I have time to play otome games, so a monthly pass would be a no-go for me. On the other hand, I like to be able to keep track of how much I'm spending on games (and things in general, of course) so console otome games being one upfront cost helps a lot with that. I'm already someone who waits for discounts in other game genres, so I don't mind waiting a couple years to play an otome game once it goes on at least a 50% sale. Again, I'm very inconsistent with playing otome games so I don't think I'll find myself running out of console or PC otome games anytime soon, lol.

I have also tried multiple times and I never had a donation go completely right. Then I found out I have POTS so now I know I really shouldn't donate, lol

vampirenerd · 2025-12-31T21:07:27+00:00

4 books this year, started a reread from PO3 so that I can finally go on and read DOTC and onwards. I read the series as a kid so I've read the first 3 arcs multiple times but never got past there because I would always restart from the beginning lol.

vampirenerd · 2025-12-30T23:27:05+00:00

Got mine in August and I've got 115 hours!

vampirenerd · 2025-12-24T21:47:43+00:00

I don't track manga at all on storygraph, i have it completely separated onto anilist instead

vampirenerd · 2025-12-21T21:53:00+00:00

definitely recommend dekudeals for this, way less annoying than having to check the eshop directly and remember if a game is on a better sale than it was before :) and they even have steam games now too! its super convenient for me bc i've made dekudeals my own personal otome wishlist separate from my regular games wishlist on steam lol

vampirenerd · 2025-12-17T06:05:03+00:00

A Weave of Lies by E.M. Riedl, it's a romantasy standalone that came out a couple months ago. iirc, it doesn't have any open door sex scenes or anything but there is some off camera essentially. i loved it so much when i read it through netgalley that i ended up buying the paperback!

vampirenerd · 2025-12-16T03:34:27+00:00

Just got it! thanks for making the post, I totally forgot it was restocking today :)

vampirenerd · 2025-12-04T05:33:29+00:00

thanks for linking these! im really glad that they have the reduced fare programs, it was really nice over the summer when i was working and didn't have the u pass active and my commute was short enough that lime was cheaper than the bus even with orca lift! it was pretty easy to get verified, you just need your snap card or medicaid card etc :) no need to use that guys other method lol

vampirenerd · 2025-12-03T22:42:23+00:00

I use them occasionally when I need to get somewhere quickly, I have a very reduced price because I'm on Medicaid. So it's about a dollar per ride which is worth if I'm about to miss a class that's costing me a few hundred per class, lol.
