/jp/ - Otaku Culture

One year away from being a wizard.
Technically not NEET, but the social isolation I get from the WFH equivalent of a network nightwatch would be enviable to many hikkis.

I've traveled and lived enough around the world to come to the conclusion that no where feels more like home than my hometown, so I've moved back. It's a town on the rural periphery of the rust belt, so it's in a weird spot where it has some small industry and prospects, but is very laidback, homely, and the epitome of a country rock song. Kind of place you can jog at night and only run into deer and raccoons. Taking care of my grandpa now in his final years (almost 100), and looks like I'll be buying the house, so I guess this is where I'll plant my first roots. Coincidentally this is the same house I was raised in, so feels about as comfy and nostalgic as it possibly can be - rocking in my late grandma's chair right now.
Social life is minimal but not negative; many neighbors just know me from childhood and I was never a bother, so I don't stick out much.
Thank fucking god it is not a suburb.

Still contribute to hobbies a bit, but as someone who never had a strong desire to make art for others to consume, that's mainly been translation and supporting projects technically. My Japanese is good enough to get through untranslated VNs but it's been awhile since I found one interesting - perhaps I should try Japanese novels on my e-reader. I don't think I'll have trouble making myself useful to others for $$$ , but lack any sort of goal as of now. I think home maintenance is a practical one, maybe some travel.

Even if we could, I am certain she does not wish to be awoken.

I love fan art in this ( >>15462789 >>15462838 >>15462654 ) style.

This is a good idea.

I know what you mean. It's why I have to be in a certain mood to play it, too.
