I don't watch anime anymore so only manga for me.
I mean, the story is the same so the manga is still about the same quality as naruto or bleach manga. Just know the opening is a bit weak and generic feeling but it gets a bit better. If you want passable shonen trash to read, there ya go, you found some. If you want a great story to read, don't read shonen except hxh cause somehow it beat the formula.

Also should I start reading Black Clover?
The anime is about the same quality as naruto or bleach after the relatively shit first 10-15 episodes. I heard the manga was slightly better. I thought it was watchable. I'd rate it above fairy tail but solidly below hxh or the seasonal shonens like mob and my hero.

I'm still salty that we never go a Liar Game anime, or even a western release.
Yeah I'd watch the shit out of an anime for it. It's basically kaiji but with more elaborate games and that got an anime. It's a pretty starved and popular anime genre as well.

Liar's game was pretty compelling for a manga only title. I managed to get through more of it than any other manga. Worst is kind of impossible to say. There's pretty much no barrier to entry so you have quite a lot of trash titles that have like 1 published chapter and then were dropped.

Went to the primary care doctor and I don't get it. This doctor last time actually seemed pretty decent but this time he was borderline worthless and rude. Basically "that falls outside my scope" to literally everything but also wouldn't refer me to a uralogist like the urgent care doc said to do yesterday. Probably won't go back. He gave the impression that he knows actually nothing. I don't understand how this is even the same doc as last time. Wouldn't order the tests the allergist asked him to. Didn't even bother to figure out what my 2 hospital visits were for in the last week. Was completely unaware my liver enzymes were high which have been high since the beginning and I mentioned it to him last time. I don't know man. Oh well. I'm doing some treatment stuff at home with elemental diet stuff and probiotics so I'm gonna try my best not to let this get to me but it's just hard to see what I consider a grave injustice and just let it go.

Trying to decide if I go to back to my previous doc that didn't feel the lump in my neck and wanted to get me surgery against the specialist and surgeon recommendation because "there is no risk" or do I try a 4th primary care doc and start all over again getting my records sent over and explaining my complicated 9 month medical history. Like, am I getting just mega unlucky or is there no point in expecting anything at all from primary care docs and I just should stop scheduling appointments with them? It's not like they remotely "coordinate care" or explain my options or anything. What do they actually do?

These are the kinds of experiences that 10-7 years ago when I had the same problem and it eventually went away, I never bothered getting follow up tests and trying to figure out what it was because I was just so convinced doctors would do nothing and figure out nothing and here it is years later and I feel like I'm right back to the same point just much less healthy. Just try to solve it on my own and forget there is a medical system outside of the ER. It'll at least be better for my mental health.

I'm honestly not sure how she'd react to the show. She'd either be utterly disgusted or love it. She likes cats more than people by a pretty wide margin. She is a casual who only watches dubs though and I'm pretty sure nekopara is sub only so theres no chance for now.

Went to urgent care. Urine came back fine. Not sure why my pee burns. They sent off a culture to be sure but if it comes back normal I guess I need to go see a urologist.

In anime news I ALMOST baited my cat loving sister into watching nekopara. Told her it was about cats and people who love cats. I still got a few eps to catch up on myself. Amazing how a hentai game became a super wholesome iyashikei anime.

I actually was on cbd oil a few months ago. Theres 2 issues with it. The main one is that it just didn't do THAT much. It did help, but barely. Taking higher doses made me feel sedated and miserable and panicked. The other issue is that it uses a pretty common pathway in the liver that a lot of other medications use so I'd have to stop taking it potentially regularly to try out other medications so instead I just decided not to use it. Oh, it's also expensive but thats minor compared to life and death.

Anyway, life is not being kind to me lately. I have a mild fever and it burns when I pee. Think I might have picked up an infection at the hospital. Gonna go to urgent care when it opens. Fever is especially worrying for me since I can't sweat so I have to be ultra careful not to overheat. That means no blankets or warm clothing which sucks. Makes it scary to go to sleep too. Really sucks if I got an infection cause I hurt my hands using their shitty cold sinks to make sure I washed my hands super well. Hopefully I just have a UTI that responds well to antibiotics and it's not too rough.

I can't remotely travel. My anxiety has been super high since getting back (which isn't too unusual) but so is my determination for now so just suffering through the abyss of terror and confusion for now. I'm hoping a few days rest will help out. Mentally I still don't feel like myself right now.

I've got a few new treatment options to try as well like broken down amino acid pills which should skip digestion and gonna start on a probiotic just in case that helps. If I can handle the amino acids, I can start exercising a bit. I obviously have to be careful still but exercise really can do a lot and it sucks to not be able to.

My feeling is, I've beaten just anxiety with no meds more than once before so if I can just get healthy enough I should be able to beat it again. For now at least, I'm very determined. I WILL get better and get my life back. I can only hope I can be strong enough to maintain that motivation.

Did get some results back including low ceruloplasmin. That shounds a bit scary as it could mean wilson's disease (incurable, fatal) but being low on protein and having liver problems can also make that be low and I have both of those things so hopefully those amino acids fix this. They could really make me feel a lot better. Can't wait to take them although it'll be scary too. Intend to start around 12 tomorrow. Don't wanna start too many things at once.

You need to let yourself relax some, you're gunna kill yourself just from the stress. I know that is easier said then done, but maybe try thinking of a happy place when you find yourself hopeless.

I have sometimes have to remove myself from my mental situation and ask myself what good im doing myself by however it is I am reacting.

Saying something because I care, not because I'm trying to nag you or something, okay?
Yeah...whelp, just back from the pysch ward of the hospital. Glad to be out of that hellish nightmare. Lost 3 lbs in 2 days and got a total of half an hour of sleep. Also got to hear some pretty depressing things happen around me like a mom whose daughter died a few rooms down crying and people begging to die. Pro tip, don't go the ER for feeling suicidal unless you 100% have to and aren't physically ill.

Had an adverse reaction to some electrolyte powder which made me feel acutely suicidal. Very odd effect. Was terrying and was hoping to just be locked down for a few hours until it wore off. That's not how the process works. Oh well, was a strong mental reset I guess. Of course, the hospital has some corona patients too so hopefully I don't get that. My hand somehow ended up cut up/raw. I'm thinking it's from the soap because the automatic sink they have there is both freezing and terrible so you can never really finish washing off but better that than not sure soap at the ER. Lasts for like 1 second. My mom came in at one point and screamed at one of the nurses. Never seen her do that before, she's like the chillest person ever.

They weren't respecting my very restricted diet because I don't have a diagnosis but after being screamed at they actually changed their tune even though I was still half starved as indicated by losing 3 lbs. They sent me to a psych hospital eventually as is the law and thank fucking god the guy there talked me for like 2 minutes and was like "yeah, I think they messed up, no reason for you to be here" and let me leave but not before some other patient came in to warn me about the new world government and ask me if I was a freelancer or worked for google. I was panicking so hard waiting to get picked up for like 2 hours but did my absolute best to hide it so they didn't have some reason to take me back. They also didn't respect my diet and said I could only sleep at bed time despite already being up for like 34 hours at that point on very little food. I feel like I died and was headed to hell but someone was like "oh wait, my bad, go back to earth". The facility itself felt kind of like a sweatshop made out of an old school building with narrow halls and rooms.

Afterwards went to my aunt's house cause it was closer and slept hard for about 8 hours. I was nearly passing out on my feet. Just now got back home and settled in.

Only ended up missing one appointment and got it rescheduled for friday so I didn't lose TOO much time.

Watched bofuri's latest ep. Nice to see maple get a chance to use some of the OP shit she picked up in the last few episodes.

Also holy fuck this is the first time I've ever seen this happen and I'm so glad it did. The characters have to call out their skill name to use a skill but Sally actually made up fake skills to throw people off. It's always bugged me that people in shonen don't do that and this is the first instance I can think of someone using even a base level of trickery in something where you shout your attacks.

Fucking useless ass doctor leaving when I'm still talking to him. I'm gonna die man. Like, these doctors can't do shit, they don't know whats wrong, they won't talk to each other, they won't do any research, they won't admit me to the hospital, they won't tell me at what point they will admit to the hospital, and they lie constantly. I just don't understand how this allowed to happen. 9 1/2 months in, still no diagnosis. Right at the edge of underweight (like 3 lbs off). Dude ordered a test that I don't think I can survive the prep for and he wouldn't tell me what the prep was himself, had the nurse do it after he left mid sentence. Like, doc, I can't fast for a day, I'll die. If you want me to do that, put me in the hospital and give me an IV for nutrients during that day. No drinking for 10 1/2 hours? I can't go much more than 10 1/2 minutes. I almost died for playing 20 minutes of a slow paced video game yesterday. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dude spent the entire appointment looking at his computer facing away from me, kept telling me to wait a few minutes for him to type stuff up, then left while I was still talking to him. At least this time he was ONLY an hour late as opposed to his average of 2 hours late. I want to kill this man. I feel beyond hopeless. If I get healthier eventually, I think I'll move to another country, fuck the US.

My friend is obsessed with One Piece and he is always trying to get me to read it.
He says One Piece is Pop culture in Japan.
I tried reading up to about chapter 200 but I still am not hooked, what I have read so far was more so forcing myself.
Then he actively dislikes most other pop shonen.
I watched like 100 eps of the anime. The sense of adventure is top notch IMO, the character stories are decent, the fights are garbage of the highest degree, and the pacing is atrocious. I still consider it the best of the big 3 but I feel like it'd be easy for a show to just do every single thing better than it.

Redownloaded FF14, paid for a month, and tested it out again to see if I can handle it. So far, so good. I'm pretty happy my old character still exists (level 31 marauder) because I remember it being pretty boring at first. Looks like I'm just before the MSQ that unlocks job quests. Seems I overleveled quite a bit. It's a shame that I can't use the free trial since I previously paid for stormblood despite not reaching level 35. Oh well, 15 bucks isn't that much.

Also finally went through the minor amount of effort to use my PS4 controller on PC. Should have done this ages ago. Just needed to disable it's audio and mic which took like 2 minutes to figure out. Now I don't have to use my janky freelook autohotkey script to play FF14 without pulling out my hair (seriously why isn't right click a toggle by default).

Each of my birthdays seems worse than the last. Granted, celebrating birthdays in general ceases to be a fun thing after 21 or 22.
Yeah thats definitely true. On the bright side we managed to cancel the appointment and only have to pay 25 bucks instead of 400 even though it was like an hour before the appointment and they were really nice about it. Even are gonna try and see if they can get me a remote appointment instead which would help a lot. The other doctor also finally got back to us (after 2 fuckin weeks) and scheduled an appointment for friday so that saved like 2 weeks. Not the total disaster it initially seemed to be. I even went outside for a few minutes since it was relatively warm although I do feel pretty unsteady since then.

Today has probably been my worst birthday yet. Couldn't sleep and had to cancel my doctors appointment but it caused a ton of stress cause I really need the appointment. My sleep itself was terrible and I kept getting woken up by nightmares. Watched episode 1 of carole and tuesday and just started crying for no reason (well I guess all the things I mentioned are the reason). Feel pretty sick today, probably from the poor sleep. No gifts cause any money is just going to paying hospital bills. At least I made this far I guess. I really thought I might not make it to this birthday.

I've been considering trying to play FFXIV again lately. The boring combat actually seems like a draw now that I'm sick. I'm not sure I'd be able to handle it. I wonder if I can still access my account from before. I think I hit around level 30. It'd be really nice to be able to play an MMO.

It's highly unlikely. The main reason I didn't look is because there is nowhere else close that does it and I can't travel. It'll probably take 2-3 months to get me in anywhere. If I'd known it was going to be this damn slow and they were just lying to my god damn face 4 months ago, I'd have looked into somewhere else but shaving off 2-3 weeks at the cost of traveling a few hours which I just can't do didn't seem worth it. Taking that risk for 3-4 months is a totally different idea. I'm gonna see if anywhere else can get it done faster and pester all the doctors I see to try and get me moved up but since I don't have a diagnosis (which i need the fucking scan for) doctors won't do shit to make things go faster. It's not even an expensive scan, it's literally 400-500 dollars. Every time I interact with people, I just lose more faith in humanity.

And of course the anger about the whole thing is physically hurting me cause my body can't handle that kinda stress but I can't just let it go.

They won't answer shit until the last day of feb they are open and this is what they tell me?!?

Just saw the trailer for the tower of god anime. The linework looks a little sloppy, I think intentionally. Kind of reminds me of that fate/GO anime still airing in terms of style, but not animated nearly as well. Mild concern about that. It says it airs in april though. That's pretty soon. Looks to me like it'll probably just cover the intro arc if it's 12 episodes which is basically a prequel to the real story. Maybe if we are lucky it'll be 24 and they'll cover till the first reunion. I really hope it's good. The webtoon was pretty appealing. I hope they can capture that sense of strangeness pervading everything from the webtoon in the anime.

Here's the trailer if anyone cares. The source material is very long at this point so it could go on for many many seasons.

Back from the ER. I'm not dying just yet. Got a CT and ultrasound. Everything looked normal except some small kidney stones and fat on my liver (gotta be the only fat left anywhere on my body at this point). My scary enzyme levels have dropped by 17 points. Still way too high but at least moving in the right direction. I'm going to try to pressure my GP to get me weekly bloodwork from now I'm on for monitoring my condition.

I'm pretty sure the gall bladder is supposed to be removed when it's like that.
It kinda depends. The surgeon and GI thought it was very unlikely to help my issue. My bile issues were just barely outside the normal range and they typically take it for people with much worse ejection fraction rates. It's still an option if we can't come up with anything else to do but it's a pretty last ditch thing with moderate risk and low chance to help.

why are your alt and ast higher than mine, when i legitimately have liver disease

you're not secretly a massive alcoholic, are you? that's the only reason i can see for it to be that high, that's indicative of alcoholic cirrhosis or alcoholic hepatitis
Cirrhosis actually doesn't generally have high levels and typically the AST is higher than ALT in alcoholic liver conditions.

My best guess is that it's a bilary back up since my gall bladder has bile issues and my digestion shows not enough bile. So basically maybe my liver is producing enough bile, but it's not actually leaving the liver like it should. I can't really talk to a doctor till monday so all I can do is speculate. Usually liver failure happens at much higher levels.

And yeah I can only drink water and eat rice and it's been this way for 9 months so definitely no alcohol lately.

Other possibilities are some sort of infection or the mast cell disorder (MCAS) that is very rare but a pretty good match for my symptoms. Mast cells release inflammatory agents in response to allergens and it's possible that mine are releasing those things when they shouldn't be. This can cause inflammation in the areas it's happening in. Of course, I don't really perfectly match with that either. It'd be odd that 9 months ago, my ALT and AST were around what they were a month ago, but as the symptoms got worse, they actually went down, until like 2 months ago where they went back up and of course now they are higher than ever.

I wish I felt better enough to look at all my previous test results. It's possible the lowered levels coincided with taking ranitidine which is an H2 blocker. I was taking it for acid reflux on doctors orders but it's also part of the treatment for MCAS. Perhaps it was actually working but I'm not sure if the timing lines up.

Got the latest blood tests back. Everything points to significantly increased liver inflammation. I'm worried. ALT was 236, AST was 95. That's more than a mild elevation. Less than a month ago they were 115 and 70 respectively which was already over double the normal range. Doing my best not to freak out here but I'm pretty worried. High prealbumin as well and low BUN and white blood cell count. I just want this to be over. It's a good thing I pressured the doc into giving me these tests.

On topic I read some chainsaw man. It's ok I guess. A bit of a let down honestly.

Watched this weeks bofuri and it's still fun. Could watch this show all day if there were more episodes.

Oh I get those a lot because of something I got from mosquitoes most likely and they had to remove two or three of them in a surgery like 9 years ago.
Yeah you have I think a few hundred throughout your body. They function as like defensive checkpoints for the blood and are a vital part of the immune system. When you get sick, they may swell up but usually return to normal size within 6 weeks. I was just mostly concerned that it was big enough for me to feel and not securely held in place but apparently it's fine as long as it's smaller than 2 cm diameter.

Survived another attempt at leaving the house. The doctor this time seemed pretty good. The lump in my neck is a lymph node but it's not swollen enough to be a problem at all so it's totally fine. Got more at this point routine bloodwork scheduled and if it's low enough he's recommended the hospital check me in until my nutrition is normalized. I'll probably try to do that bloodwork tomorrow. Still don't have my MRI results but hopefully I will get them today. He didn't seem super rushed or dismissive and was pretty close to being on time.

Oh well, now I have an episode of bofuri to watch that I saved for after the appointment. I love this show.

I got an appointment tomorrow and I intend to talk about what I want from the visit before I even get into symptoms but they are always in such a hurry it's tough. They cut me off constantly if I ever go on about anything. They refuse to talk about anything but the next step even when I ask. They just say "lets take it one step at a time" or "we will deal with that when it the time comes".

Its also tough because by the time I see the doctor I'm like half conscious, exhausted, probably shaking uncontrollably and just wanna go home or to the ER. The shaking never seems to concern them. When we've written up things to talk about and lists of symptoms they take the list and promptly ignore it. Maybe they'll skim over it and then ask "ok, whats the most important thing on this list to deal with" and they will only deal with that. Anything else is "well lets take it one step at a time".

I'm psyching myself up as much as possible to be a complete asshole if need be tomorrow and just not leave until I'm satisfied but when I start realizing half the shit they are saying is a lie that even I know enough about to catch or they just sneak out of the room and don't come back, it's hard to not think "well fuck it, I'll just go home and hope I don't die too soon".

Now I know you have been having some bad medical issues but I dont think this is a fair shake for doctors
The amount of times they could make weeks of my life easier by taking 2 seconds to answer a question, but don't just leaves me no compassion for them. They take zero initiative ever and they take so freaking long. They ignore me when I go in there as evidenced by them asking stupid questions like "do I still go to work". I've been seeing you for 3 months and I can't stand up more than 15 minutes a day or watch tv most of the time, what the fuck do you think? They for sure don't do what they "can", they do what they are legally obligated to do and no more. I'm really questioning if they really do that much. The amount of times they have lied to me is insane for a position that is supposed to gain my trust. Like 30% of what they say is just veritably false so I'm left to wonder if they are intentionally lying to me or just that incompetent.

If one more doctor tells me "I don't know whats wrong with you, but you will be fine" I'm going to lose my mind. That's not how it works. If you know whats happening, fine, tell me I'll be ok, but until then, how can you expect me to believe anything you say after that? Only one of the doctors (the surgeon) actually admitted "well, I guess we don't know, I hope you'll be fine though, and we have ruled out most of the more common issues". Yes, tell me that if thats all you have but don't just tell be me a bold faced lie that is so obvious right to my face. I spend so much time every day working myself into a rage just thinking over the doctor visits I've already had, wishing I could have been more alert to actually force them to stay and answer my questions.

It'd be so much better for my mental health to just stop going but then I'd probably die. It's so frustrating that I have to rely on these careless buffoons. And maybe I'm just unlucky. Maybe theres tons of great docs out there and I just haven't had the fortune to come across them yet but I have seen about 30 doctors in my life and not one has been anything but brief and ineffective. This ignores the time they almost killed me 7 years ago by not warning me about the side effects of the meds they prescribed so I nearly passed out at the wheel or the fact they told me I'd be fine for months only for my heart to stop and me almost die alone in my room.

If you think docs actually do much of anything besides read a chart and fill in data, and recommend the obvious course of action as dictated by the chart, you're unfortunately deluded. It takes very little searching to find millions of stories of how doctors fucked up and people died for it. Medical error is the 3rd leading cause of death in the US. Literally only 2 things are more likely to kill you than a doctor fucking up (and those are medical issues too, probably plenty of which could be prevented if the doctors were better).

You are right though. I do need to stay positive. I'm doing my best to do so. I'm thankful for the kind words and time you took to read my post. I'd happily take some of your lipids if I could.

I remember one time I tried to learn japanese I used an image to text program and hooked a text hooker into it to translate whatever kanji I dragged the translation square over. I'm sure something like that can still work if the font is something fairly normal.

Also got an MRI today. Reacted poorly to the contrast. Was a miserable experience. Almost went in to the ER yesterday cause I couldn't stop shaking. I'm still losing weight, down to 143 lbs. Not sure what to do. I feel like it'll be years before the doctors actually move their ass and I'll be 100 lbs in like 3-4 months at this rate (assuming I don't just die before then). Doctors are all scum of the earth. I hate them so much. They just actually don't care if I live or die outside of liability.

I'm continually pleasantly surprised how little of a role the main dude has in nekopara. He's barely even a side character. This gotta be the most wholesome ecchi I've seen.

New interspecies reviewers episode. This time they went to build a bitch workshop and later fucked the essence of light itself. I love this dumbass show.

I should start checking out more shoujo manga if they're hiding gems like these
Lol thats pretty funny. For some reason it seems sorta familiar but I'm pretty sure I've never heard of that series before. Maybe I saw it a in a meme somewhere or something.

caught up on oshibudo
I've almost watched that twice but supposedly it never gets any actual yuri in the source and it's rife with obnoxious misunderstandings so I've stayed away.

Watched the 6 eps of darwins game that are out. It's pretty ok. I enjoy the death/survival game genre. Darwin's game isn't the best or the worst. If you like the genre, you'll probably like the anime, if you don't, I doubt it'll change your mind.

Also no way in hell is the season possibly gonna wrap up the story. I'll kinda sad if it goes the way of btoom and we only get 1 season with no conclusion.

No I know that, I just didn't think the site had a way for users to make money. Clearly I just had a misconception about how the site worked.

the whining from regular camgirls over VR camgirls is the best

it seems like some of them aren't aware that this isn't some sort of autonomous sentient AI stealing their jobs
It was pretty hilarious. Like come on, they use the internet to make a living, they should know something thats new and has meme status is gonna be popular at first.

Also I had no idea you could make a living on that site, I thought the whole thing was just like chat roulette but more sex focused. Guess I'm outta the loop.

I looked pretty hard but couldn't find any video/music track of the insert song from bofuri used during some of the exploring montages. I want to listen to that song but alas I can't find it. Presumably have to wait till the OST releases by which time I'll probably have forgot.

Dang I keep having more to say right after the edit time is over. Those 2 girls you mentioned become major characters in episode 6 if they are who you are looking for. I'm so sad to be out of eps now. This season looked like it was gonna be kinda crap before it started but it's been one pleasant surprise after another for me so far. Theres even still several interesting titles I haven't started yet. Might save them for when the season ends though.

bofuri

my friend sent me a gif of some girl with green highlights dancing with a white haired girl and they had giant hammers, and he said it was bofuri

none of those girls exist in bofuri
Yeah they do. I think you see them in episode 3 or 4. They were brand new to the game and wanted to buy weapons. They did not at the time have hammers but I think we see them with hammers in the OP or ED.

The more I watch of the show the more I like it. Kinda sad I'm almost out of eps to watch. It's basically "dumbass breaks the game, the anime". Although to be fair, main girl is actually pretty smart a lot of the times. The devs have to keep patching broken interactions she finds by doing things most people wouldn't think to try (because it seems stupid). It also just makes the game itself seem so fun. So many great sights to see, bosses to fight, players to meet, and just tons of little hidden things to find that make you glad you took the time to look around. This is everything I wish MMOs actually were (except, more balanced).
