Haha that's funny bc your old car situation is my current one XD it's like you're me from the future lol

I don't even have a dish washer so it'll only be getting handwashes from me! I'll try to take care of it like you have.

Thank you so much! Ok so I'll go ahead and try the microfiber towels, pretty sure they won't scratch it or anything. Idk how long you've had your cooker for, but have you had to buy a replacement bowl? Sorry for all the questions, I just really want to make an informed purchase.

And alright you truly have sold me on thoroughly washing my rice! I will getting a $10 rice washer as you suggested :D I thought people were just being overly anal xd

I honestly just rinse it twice and call it a day. Can you sell me on the benefits of washing the rice till it's clear? I just do it twice to get out any bugs/rocks etc.

Since you have one, may I ask how you clean the nonstick pan? Just sponges or do you use microfiber clothes? Idk why I'm so worried about the cleaning, probably bc of the price tag lol

For sure. Now I just gotta look into a long term sponge/method of cleaning for the nonstick pan lol

thanks!

Ok, then I think I'll pull the trigger on one of these premium for-life rice cookers :) thanks

It's crazy how much CSM is contributing to my playlist rn yea XD

I've heard of that anime, gonna check it out soon :) If you like instrumental stuff, I'd give the Irisu Syndrome playlist a listen. I recently been on a spree with cheap VNs from Steam and the most recent one I read was "Sound of Drop: Fall Into Poison" and man I love this track and this one. The second one plays at the start of the novel and that shit sucked me in hard lol (I was running a timer to see if I wanted to keep it xD). Love these composers.

I mostly just listen to japanese music and older rock/rap so I agree with you on that last part, don't really like newer artists except for a few (Doja Cat has some nice songs). Like you said, the variedness of japanese music is a big part of that draw, especially these newer songs. Like, I fucking love the dude's voice from one of Chainsaw Man's outros. So damn good. I don't forgive MAPPA for the AOT stuff but this is good lol

I be listening to hella anime intros/outros :) get introduced to lots of japanese bands that way. Like with chainsaw man, a new band doing an outro every episode lol eating good rn.
