It’s bittersweet; I love all you weeb kids, keep doing what you’re doing. I wish I would have had access to something like that when I was anywhere from 12-20, I feel like I’d of been so much happier and would have been a cooler person now from getting to experience stuff and actually have fun at that age vs. working on a farm and buying the 1-2 shitty anime DVDs I could get at Walmart at the time.
