If the Kaoru card is banned, does that mean no housewife option? Leaving that open for someone else? I do like her, "You're too OP," face.
Yeah, when you get high up in the competition leagues, it can become like a chore. It works for some people, but others don't like it. Making what you like your job can be good or bad. Also, I don't think she'd like speedrunning either.
She remembered that part. Neat.
You and your casual flirting!
Do you want them to explode?
Sure, that can happen by definition, but it's not always a bad thing.
Yeah, and sometimes it's not the hobby itself, but everything around it. I went from a hobby programmer to professional, and while it didn't turn the programming into a chore, all management and crap around it was just a PITA. So I quit, and I don't regret it at all. Though interestingly, the part where I worked in tech support (and eventually managing it at the point where I quit) was among the most fun, despite all tales you hear about idiot questions. Interacting with those people is far more pleasant than with a boss who is absolutely certain he understands you.
