I'd argue that Inferno describes a world that exist under our own, but it is still part of it, geographically and systemically, as all the souls of the damned eventually reach the underworld, while an Isekai story always (or most of the time, I should say) describe the other world as a parallel dimension, disconnected from our own and accessible only through supernatural or technological means, while Dante just have to walk through the gate.

we should organize a field day with the rest of the community, this is going to be awesome.
ah, it's alright. I thought the situation was you opening up to new opportunities. and it's OK not to be ready for that, take whatever time you need, they will still be out there.
I lived a similar situation in the past, and I was certainly reluctant to open up to new friendships in my late thirties, but one day I took a chance on a local message board, and ended up meeting a very nice group of people that enjoyed my hobby and now I have monthly to bimonthly meetups with them, and through those we've meet each other's families, travel together, helped each other move, birthdays, and funerals.
It's great to have friends again, makes me really happy.
what about finding them? you can start a meetup on a local library or cafe. print flyers, hang them around. commit to show up even if no one shows up, it's just the first one. drink your coffee, go home, try again in a couple of weeks.
I walk my town with my 3DS on in the hope that our there, some freak is doing the same and we find each other in street pass.
maybe there's someone out there trying to find you, but with a little less initiative. you already show some, by posting this.
good luck! don't lose a kidney.
we're all made of star dust
the perfect WMD is one that kills the population but leaves all the infrastructure untouched. luckily nothing like that exists, yet
the RP4 has a really decent D-Pad, more rubbery than the PSP's clear plastic, very responsive, good diagonals.
my current list of plugins:
- peanuts and xkcd strips
- moon phase
- weather forecast
- Strava activity summary
- GitHub activity grid
- a custom plugin I wrote that shows a different kanji each day
I have one and it's great, although I don't have any HA information on it, as I don't have a lot of information worth having on a screen that's not live data.
I recently moved all my PSP library to a Retroid Pocket 4 Pro, because of battery life and upscaling, but my PSP is still working, the thing is that being able to charge everything with USB-C is really comfortable for me, and I'm really scared of modding a USB-C port on my PSP. The performance on the RP4 is really good.
Timing first, friction later: Whatsapp was first, it extended like wildfire in Latin America before the 2014 buy in by Meta. I attribute it to the ease of configuration: you didn't need an email, it was just your phone number, and then all your contacts were reachable. It didn't lose traction even when it changed from free app to "free for a year". Friction came later, Telegram gained some ground but it was very niche, my friends that were in CS were using it "for the bots and the stickers" but you needed to invite your contacts to use it and it didn't make sense if they already had Whatsapp. Later, more and more businesses started using Whatsapp to chat with customers and eventually it became the default.
I don't know if it's my car or me, but I've always find very difficult to modulate my horn, like if I try to have it do bips, they don't come out, I need to really punch it which means they won't be quickly one after the other. I need more horn practice.
