I used to hate vocaloids, especially Hatsune Miku because I thought we were gonna have robots singing more in the future instead of humans. To cope, I listened more mostly to Soraru and Mafumafu songs

This whole debacle about using AI voices to sing songs reminded me of that time

When i was 2 years old, i've punch my grandmother's dog in the face because he was messing with my toys while i was playing. It's quite the memory in my family, they always laugh when they remember it.

I'll give one more. My nickname "Doedoel" comes from my little sister calling me "Dudul"; it grew up on me, so I used it myself and gave an archaic Indonesian spelling to it. It was after this I learnt that "doe" meant female deer :v

Edit: A tiny bit about archaic Indonesian spelling: The letter "U" becomes "Oe", "C" becomes "Tj", "J" becomes "Dj", as far as I know.

Except for a number of youtubers I can count with one hand I find the rest boring, and if they're Vtubers is even worse. But the only one I follow is the sole reason I played Blue Archive, it's Arona! (You can find some of them in the English channel)

My username Tony Mushah come from :
  • my first name Tony
  • Mushah comes from a french youtuber Mushwoon01 that used to watch when i was a kid.
I wanted to become a Youtuber back then but I was kid with delusional idea so this goal never succeded (for now).
Well, I kept this username to remember those days.
And now I'm going to use this username until my death.

I am very confident that I can steal most trains (provided I get my hands on a master key)

If when I was in grade school I were told by my future self that I'd switch from shonen series, sitcoms and generic cinema to yuri, traps and cute girls/boys doing cute things I'd probably have started taking drawing lessons instead of painting Games Workshop figures. At least I'd have put my savings to better use.

I'm guessing you wasted some of it on action figures instead of investing into yuri?
Not action figures, they're less than 10 cm tall (with exceptions such as tanks) and you have both to assemble and paint to play some tabletop wargames (plus the cost of painting tools/supplies, loctite and other assembling tools). The same money (and time) could have been used in tuition/materials for drawing purposes and calligraphy (and probably I'd have started learning Japanese when I was in grade school).

I'm confused, did you spend it on action figures or something else?

because you said

No action figures, they're less than 10 cm tall, blah blah blah

but then you don't elaborate on what you DID spend it on, just what you could've

no offense or anything, I'm just a bit slow on your grammar

An action figure is normally articulated and it's from a certain franchise, for instance, a figure from Marvel, an anime series such as Jojo, etc. and they are bigger and already painted. What I was talking about can be simply googled or you can see the figures (or figurines, however you want to call them) I'm talking about in Games Workshop webpage, figures for tabletop wargames can be even 3 cm tall and range from realistic games such as Napoleonic Wars to fantastical games, and a single army can be made of hundreds of miniatures. It's a hobby, they come in grids inside boxes and like I explained, you need to assemble and paint them yourself, it's not about collecting them but for creating armies to play with others. Probably you never knew about them, but in this area of the world just saying "Games Workshop" is enough to understand what kind of items are.

The town I went to college in had turned into a bit of a tourist trap over the 20 years before I was there (and has continued to do that since), and one of the anchor stores in the downtown area was a fantastic independent toy store. The owner had a soft spot for wargaming miniatures, and had a couple of display cases with some pretty high-end sets. I particularly remember one set that was an entire British brass band taking up one corner of a shelf, facing off against a couple of US Civil War artillery units (cannon with crew) and a unit of about a dozen cavalry (Prussians?) from the same era. Some of those were incredibly detailed - I have a lot of respect for someone who can get that level of precision on a paint job.
