    Yeah, I get what you're saying. My friends tend to keep all their old hardware when ever they do build a new system, so selling old parts to get their money back isn't a factor. If you nickle and dime it all out by buying a beast system out-right or upgrading a less powerful system over time, you can easily spend more upgrading over time if you never sell your old parts. But, everyone's situation is different and everyone has different preferences. 
     
    I totally get what you're saying with regard's to going with less-expensive parts where necessary. Case in point; both of my friends I've mentioned here have K series CPUs on Z series boards (3570K on a $200+ Asus Z77 and a 3770K also on an Asus Z77) and neither of them want to overclock! They could have easily saved $150+ and still had the same performance with the non-K CPUs and B or H series board instead.
     
    Recently I upgraded to a Z97 board because I wanted several specific features (SLI, overclocking capability and fan control), but I didn't spend more than I needed to to get the features I wanted. Could have spent $200+ on a Rampage, but why? I got everything I wanted with the Asus Z97-E for only $120! And even though I have a non-K CPU (i5-4570 carried over from the ITX build) I still overclocked it! Lol  
     
    3 years ago when my one friend built his 3570k system with the GTX 680, it came to about $1700+. A year later I built my first dedicated gaming PC - a mini-ITX build with the i5-4570 and a 7950 that cost about $900 total at the time which could slightly out-perform his PC, but for nearly half the price (and size)! lol Now, after recent upgrades, my system is up to almost $1500, all-in. And until he upgraded to the 980Ti 2 months ago, my system destroyed his in gaming (R9 290 vs 680) and still cost less in the end than his. Not only that, but I've managed to make my system look way better as well (color-matched components, cables, white LED's etc.). Proof that you also don't have to have a super-expensive system to have a good-looking system that you can take pride in. (His sits under his desk collecting dust with horrible cable management...).
     
    So yeah, I'm an advocate of upgrading over time and I agree with you in that I go for performance and value per dollar above all else. You don't necessarily have to spend a lot, but rather just spend wisely.

    So I'm considering trying out this OKCupid thing, and I'm actually fairly excited with how many anime people are popping up and I haven't even input anything about that yet (I'm 3/6).
    But I think this is eye opening for me. Reading these profiles imagining this person doing these things, I have a true sense of "Other people exist in this world that I'll never meet, even though I'd love to." It's strange acknowledging that you aren't alone in the world.
    I mean yeah, internet. Billions of people. But reading about the basics of what they spend most of their time doing, I dunno. It opens your mind a little, I guess.

    I definitely meant Nichijou, but Nichibros fits the bill too (I've seen both).
    No, don't get me wrong. 45 of those 50 episodes are good. It's the last 5 that suck. Maybe just the last 3. They just... kinda lose their shit and jump to a much later arc, then end the anime on a cliffhanger after spoiling multiple later arc villains for no damn reason. Literally the same thing Medaka Box did, as well as Blood Lad. 
    Blue balled is a good way to put it. Yes, all 3 anime blue ball you at the end. Imagine you were watching Dragon Ball Z and they just killed Frieza, then Majin Buu shows up, along with Adult Trunks & Goten and then the show ends with nothing else happening (they don't beat him, they just say "That's Majin Buu! He killed <characters>!" then the credits roll). 
    It's like that. Utter bull shit.
    The shows were great until the ending. Then it blew because they screwed us over by spoiling shit and giving the anime a crappy cliffhanger ending. But since they spoiled everything, that tells me "We aren't making another season. Just go read the manga." which pisses me off because I'm not doing that, and even if I did, welp you spoiled my shit. Why would I?
    Two more additions to the list:
    Kill la Kill - (went way off from the manga at the end, effectively rewriting the story, like the original Hellsing did it)
    Tenjou Tenghe - Spoilers and cliffhanger crappy ending as well.

    i got through phases with books. uptill collogium book 4 i have read all the valdemar books (except 2 of the griphion books (didnt enjoy them) thats 30 or so.
    try some of the free ones on amazon they are usually 80+ pages or so and can be quite interesting.
    books can be very engaging if you have a good imagination. i can kind of halluciate about it while im reading if that makes sence and really visulise it (im a daydreamer,i do zone out in my own little world sometimes lol)

    I don't read many books but when i do i tend to get more emotionally attached to the characters then when i watch anime and i have only read 1 or 2 manga as a result of wanting more from the anime so i cant comment much on that.
