I've never really known #karaoke (with the right people maybe) would be something I enjoy (quite a lot) lol. I've only been twice, and never with friends cos they're (we're) not the type to randomly think of paying for some hours just to sing. The first time was w family and I didn't even sing cos I was too edgy I guess. The most recent was new year's eve just a couple of weeks ago - and that was with my partner and sibs.
After the #AOT finale I for some reason just NEEDED to sing #anime songs and I did just that while everyone else sang Indo/Malay/Eng songs lmao. We went to #Manekineko just bcos it was the only one available/open, and we sang from 11pm till 1am and surprisingly it totally wasn't enough 😩 Was able to sing some AOT songs tho not all I had wanted which was a bummer, some #Gintama songs, the #NatsumeYuujinchou OP, and the #HunterXHunter OP. They didn't have #ShinyaShokudo (#MidnightDiner)'s OP either which was also a bit of a bummer.
I really didn't need yet another hobby to commit to lol but here I am. I thought when I have my own place I only need to sacrifice a single (likely store) room as a dedicated room for my servers/#homelab equipments, now I prolly need a soundproofed karaoke room too if this urge to scream to my fav songs continue too frequently.

Some of my favourite conversations as of late have been, "So, what did you do during the pandemic?"
Putting aside the issue that the pandemic isn't quite over yet (... there are roughly ~1,000 people in my province currently in the hospital contending with the virus), I have had some conversation starters that I've sprinkled into the mix. It makes for great small talk.
@vsp I learned to brew coffee at home with a #v60
I watched copious amounts of #anime including (but not limited to) #jojosbizarreadventure and #hunterxhunter
Right now I just finished watching the main UC timeline of #gundam and I am building model gundam kits #gunpla
Doing things that give me space and relaxation are key 🫂
#anime#hunterxhunter FB reminded me I posted this four years ago today. Given I first partially watched HxH five years before that, all I can say is, time flies!
The anime show Hunter x Hunter bubbled up on Netflix again earlier this year (2019, now), and when I was in between shows I decided I'd watch it again. I loved it when I watched it what, 5 years ago now? I originally made it through the Hunter Exam story arc, the Heavens' Arena arc, and the Greed Island arc; but then My Favorite Villain Hisoka was not part of the storyline for the Chimera Ant story arc, and I just couldn't stay interested in the kids, so I stopped at that point. But I figured I'd see if I could get farther with it this time, and started rewatching it.
So I started it up, and enjoyed it just as much the second time, because I only remembered the broad strokes of how it went, not the details! But Netflix had changed its licensing agreement, and stopped after the Heaven's Arena arc, didn't make it even into the Greed Island arc, which I thought was honestly the best of the bunch. So I went looking for it, and got pulled into the CrunchyRoll system, where you can watch all 140+ episodes for free if you're willing to put up with the commercial breaks. I have now made it through the whole danged storyline again, and persevered through the Chimera Ant arc--which ended up being tremendous, after a highly boring and tedious and nasty start. The end was all I could have hoped for!! Life and death and the nature of humanity, always a good mix. Some of the losses are painful because they do such a good job of giving both heroes and villains meaningful backstories and characterization. But I do like the theme in Japanese shows of the grandpa who can kick your butt and who saves the day; no decrepit elderly, here.
And for the next story arc, Hisoka's already back and flaunting around (happy dance), as well as Killua's older brother (always a good choice), AND we have many of the seriously nifty characters from the Chimera Ant arc who are still in play--plus a lot of new characters being introduced, obviously. This is shaping up to be a pretty spiffy last dozen episodes or so! Now we just have to get the main character out of ICU, because he went crazy in his last fight of the preceding arc, lost his arm in killing the monster who killed his friend Kite--I assume he gets his arm back but who knows! This show is mostly lighthearted (even though people die like flies throughout) but it can get dark at times. I think it kind of peters out at the end, though, looking at the wikipedia page--I don't think it's still ongoing, and I don't think it had a grand finale either... But two thumbs up for the show, I must say--three or four thumbs, really. 😉
I guess it was after that I actually subscribed to Crunchyroll, and yeah, I loved the ending to HxH, or at least where the anime stopped for me. (I'm told the manga went on after that, but I need the color and sound.) Hisoka is still my favorite villain ever. 😁
