    Escapists, what are you OTHER interests?

    I have a few things that I do regularly besides game. Mainly Japanese drumming (one large drum and massive drumsticks) and kickboxing. Cycling fell away a bit over the winter and because I don't like cycling in the dark even when I have all my reflectives on. Everything else comes and goes...

    To the Brits: If a cookie is a biscuit, then what is a biscuit?

    As far as I'm aware, in baking terms: cookies - soft on the inside biscuits - firm enough to "snap" when you break them.

    Poll: Marriage - What is it Good For? (Absolutely Nothing! Huh! Yeah!)

    1. Getting married next year. No, it's not for everyone. It works for us because we've talked about settling down and kids from the get go and we live in a country where doing those things without being married is a very big no-no. 2. The institution of marriage is a legally binding way of...

    Poll: You think anime should have thicker women(bigger asses and wider hips not just big boobs)

    I found that "Real Drive" had female body designs that were less typical anime and more realistically shaped. Like one of the girls had a bit extra round the stomach. It was actually criticised quite heavily in Japan for having "unappealing" characters. In Japan thin is usually really thin from...

    How do people get bored on their own in this day and age?

    Boredom to me implies a lack of appropriate stimulation. Note the term appropriate. What your stimulation needs are vary wildly. I have been bored in one lesson then hyper engaged in another. I have been bored with a game one day then come back a week later and played for hours. I think one...

    Poll: How Often Do You Wash Your Towels?

    Once a week, basically with the bed sheets. I am clean when I come out the shower, I am simply towelling off water, possibly shampoo/conditioner/bodywash residue. Possible TMI ahead When I'm on my period, I will get a clean towel once my bleed is finished, even if I just changed towels...

    What's your favorite flavor of things?

    Thanks to Japan, a mild tea taste because they put tea in everything. (Also, as someone allergic to citrus the taste of lemon/lime in my drink makes me panic. I have sent drinks back at restaurants because of such a thing.)

    Poll: This needs to be settled right now or a war will break out within our very homes.

    Over, unless you have pets that like to play with the toilet roll. Only then is under the way to go.

    Poll: So where have all the VR talk gone?

    I've tried it at a friends house a few times, while fun for short bursts, it was quite uncomfortable for me to have to put the headset thing on over my glasses. I was constantly concerned about doing damage to my frames since they are lightweight ones to be work all day everyday. (I can't wear...

    How do you organize your game library?

    I keep mine simple on Steam. There is a "Finished folder for games I am done with in some way, usually just the main story is done. There is a "Meh" folder for games I have tried and didn't like/given up on and then everything else is just in the open.

    Report: An Alien: Isolation Sequel May be in The Works

    I still want the first to be available in Japan on PC. Apparently it's not available here at all. I would need to import disks from either the US or Europe which looks expensive.

    Poll: Your Pubic Hair And You

    Wax. Waxed so that it contained nicely in my knickers and roughly trimmed with some scissors because it gets long otherwise. If I don't keep the edges waxed then I can never go out in a swimsuit/bikini because it spreads down my inner thigh. I get it done professionally when I can, but I can...

    Debate on the state of Japanese education

    I actually work in a Japanese school, so I'll try to share what I know. Critical thinking while encouraged by teachers, doesn't help them on tests. While I remember lots of "talk about x related to you" in my foreign language exams even at a low level (aka the theme of family and writing some...

    Automatic or Manual?

    Manual, it was the default in the UK when I learned to drive. Driving automatic makes me cringe as I can hear the engine struggling because the computer hasn't decided to change gear yet and it drives me insane. That and I find that I don't know what to do with my hand now that it's not needed...

    Pokemon Sun and Moon

    I've played a few hours so far and I'm not too fussed by the tutorials. I've played a good number of the pokemon games before (Blue, Yellow, Crystal, Sapphire, Diamond, Black, White 2) but have certainly not played every game. And most of the tutorials are either super short with a little cut...
