If ya notice, the memes and hype around the series died off literally a week or two after the first episode aired. It became a norm and the people obsessed with the thing settled down to watch it. But no one outside that small group of hardened fans has an interest. Most people would agree with your take, though maybe not so far as to say that it's terrible. Maybe just... derivative?

I would say Goblin Slayer falls into the same category as most modern anime do now, average and repetitive. A lot of anime are just coping either each other or older anime and not really doing anything different. With Goblin Slayer, specifically, it was edgy and murder p*rn so people hyped it for a few weeks and then it faded into oblivion like a lot of anime that's been getting hyped and then dropped.

My Hero, Black Clover, and Boruto are the only ones holding peoples attention but I would say that's more so just because they're longer and hitting most of the same notes other anime have hit, especially Boruto.

Additionally, I must say that I'm rather frustrated by a certain poster on NSG who is (in my view, at least) an unbearably smug edgelord. As such, would I be allowed to vent such frustrations here?

What was your old job? You'll have to forgive me, I'm on and off NS nowadays and I've been focusing on a lot of stuff IRL.

And yes, you can vent here. We offer support to all our members to help them through whatever they are struggling with.

Information officer; I believe I earned it after the Invident With the North Pacific, remember?

Also, I suppose I’ll share what I shared with another user, please give me a moment.

Actually, I don’t think sharing my concerns publicly is a good idea; I do not wish to cause a fuss, after all.

Well if you still need to get it off your chest, you can TG Lumi or myself about it. I know she'll try to help you through whatever you're going through and I will as well, I just know I won't reply as quickly.

Starting a new internship today.

Neat. What industry, if I may ask?

Xuloqoia wrote:Neat. What industry, if I may ask?

Porn.

Wait, this isn't directed at me. Sorry.

Semiconductor manufacturing and aviation key components.

Sure? Albeit I probably already know who it is.

I just yeeted you a TG, if it helps. Do mind the (relatively mild, in my defense) profanity.

I don’t know if this is appropriate to put here, but:

If I’ve always felt like I wanted to die, but never tried to take action, does that mean that I’ve always been faking it?

No, that means you’ve been having suicidal thoughts, and you need help. Call the National Suicide Hotline, they’ll help you. You can even text them, instead of chatting over the phone. Look it up. Get help. Please.

Well, I just got back from TROS.

Anyway, TROS isn't a bad film. That doesn't make it great, or even good necessarily. Rather, it is aggressively... "okay". In contrast to The Force Awakens, a fun adventure story that was solid yet derivative (7/10 film, maybe 8/10), The Last Jedi, which was simultaneously an amazing (9/10) and terrible (3/10) film depending on the scene, The Rise of Skywalker is fundamentally an okay film. A solid 6/10, maybe 7/10 at best and 5/10 at worst. Maybe. The film was, at the very least, consistent (unlike The Last Jedi); JJ did the best he could with what he was given, and I applaud his efforts. However, while I recommend the film, I do so with reservations.

I'm gonna be a depressed Scrooge for Christmas this year because I have to stay at Fort Leonard Wood, up in Missouri, rather than be with my family in Tennessee because Marine Corps.

I think I’ll get to the point this time:

I’ve been getting more and more problems recently, my grades have been degrading faster than ever, I’ve not been achieving anything in my internship, I have nobody to talk to in real life, my relationship with everyone on NS have been the worst since ever, and it’s being made worse when combined with my addiction to NS — even if I participate in discussion in the region or in forum, it feels like I’m forced to write meaningless things that nobody will ever read — even if they do read, they wouldn’t make sense of it.

In addition, the things I’ve enjoyed in the past have now become meaningless, and it feels as if I am being forced to do them, with no purpose or goal in them. And because there is no goal in them, when I force myself to do them, trying to get something from it, it then becomes an addiction.

Merry Christmas, my friends!

Don't take this the wrong way my friend, but struggles come and go. I too have had many struggles in my life and I have found the number one thing to help me through them is other people. You may need to spend more time with your family and friends (I don't care what you say, you have other people who care about you.) NS isn't an addiction if you don't get anything out of it. It is, for you, a plea for help. That is why you are posting things onto NS. You don't know where else to go and so you are trying to talk to people here, where you know people are to be found. If you are struggling with your internship, follow a different opportunity. Find something else that is more promising for your future.

I'm sorry to hear you've had such a rough time. I know you were really hopeful for this internship too. Maybe next year, you could try looking elsewhere for an internship? Go out to a cafe or something, go to a game shop or the mall to make friends! It's much harder these days, since people don't seem to interact with each other much anymore, but you can do it! As for your grades, you'll get through school. You can do it! It's difficult when you're working at the same time, I'm sure, but I believe in you!

Above all, seek some help. Get a counselor, and don't be afraid to get one. Or talk to a hotline! You can do so anonymously, and they will not judge you for calling. You don't have to bear your anxiety alone.
