    With the same profile pic?

    Yeah, sometimes I get dejavu of a dejavu as in "wait, I experienced having this dejavu before", and sometimes I recall old dreams out of the blue because they happened or something like them happened that day to me.

    I'm pretty sure I had this conversation before. It's so weird to have it again. This must be the choice of the Steins Gate.

    I always tell myself "I'll watch that anime eventually" but I either don't have the time, don't feel like it, or worried it would be too dark.

    I often compare it with the anime I watch, and I find that there's few that measure up, because anime has become too consumer-centric that few works tend to try to do something more with it, at least without turning into something that might only be shown at a film festival smaller than Sundance twenty years ago.

    But not feeling like it is a perfectly reasonable explanation and justification for not watching it. It's the same reason why I haven't watched any anime in the last four years.

    I have Cyberpunk Edgerunner open on a tab next to everything else, I keep telling myself, I'll start watching it, but I keep putting it off, because I want to enjoy it after having finish like a good chunk of writing or something.

    It's a bit overrated, especially the early chapters. As a moderately experienced writer, you can see the emotional cues for what they are, that story is pretty blatant about it. However, it does seem to be capable of bringing you to emotional highs and making you feel engaged and willing to watch it all in one sitting. It's not bad, but if you can't commit at least half an hour, you'll probably never start.
