Posting again to say that the "punk" part doesn't come from the punk "aesthetic" either but from the themes of rebellion, social/economic castes, and grit. I think Steampunk really is more of an aesthetic than a movement or genre, but Cyberpunk is not.

>>4513
Steampunk was a movement and genre before cyberpunk ever existed. The only fault is that it was long out of vogue before the internet could get to it. Themes of rebellion in it mostly revolved around Luddism, Ecology, and Autocracy, with the destruction and resistance against technology more prevalent than the usage of it against evil.

God I hate that kind of "artwork".
Ah yes, I always wear bikinis in bed while contorting myself to look at a screen. Also, a woman's favorite fabric for everyday clothing is vinyl and we love riding high-tech motorbikes in barely any clothes at all. What would a highly technological world be without titties?

I liked it.

the only traduced opus you'll find from this man is babylon babies i guess.
don't even try the movie.

you can put it into the embed field next time right under the image field

Madworld is a bit obscure, but it has pretty good high energy hip hop soundtrack.
My favorites: Get it Up, Madworld, Look Pimpin, So Cold.

also usually the game during boss fights has THREE people talking simultaneously
1) the song
2) the "commentator" characters in the background
3) the boss himself
I would finish the game if it weren't for this

>>38310
I LOVE MGRR. my fave song is a stranger i remain.
>>38312
Absolutely did not expect to see another Madworld fan on this site. Great taste.

I've only ever played civ6 but this thread is making me regret not getting 5

>>38275
civ 5 is the best one artistically and aesthetically

>>37609
What we think about civ 7. Everyone's chimping about the gameplay, I watched gameplay of it and it is strange. It strays from the usual selection system.
I've exhausted my fun out of civ 6 so I will try civ 5, you influenced me nona now I will have to put a halt on being a functional human being.

>>38297
I honestly liked the changing civs gimmick, but I guess it'd be better off as an option in a campaign and not central to the entire game. It'd be even better if they gave you the option to change leaders instead imo cause that just makes sense.
I kinda like how they added Machiavelli.

I recommend the Vox Populi mod for civ 5. The original civ 5 is barebones and the expansions slightly improve it, but Vox Populi adds:
1) vassalage
2) monopolies
3) smarter ai that you can't just bribe to wage war on anyone you don't like
4) important: better unit upgrades cause the original ones suck
5) improved culture trees. made warring even more fun than it was. the original made tradition too good
6) improved civ abilities
I think that's about it

My best friend tried so hard to get me into Hetalia in middle school. I barely watched it and just got obsessed with the few female characters that existed (I loved Belarus lmao) and collecting nyotalia fanart. I really should have known I was gay from that.

can't forget the femcel unity between the homestucks and hetalians.

>>36322
No. It was actually my big bro who got me into hetalia back in like 2010. He thought it was very funny.
And yes, he's straight.

>>36216
This. The actual OG fangirls weren't watching anime, they were watching Star Trek.
>>36216
Hetalia Axis Powers came out in what, 2009? After Ouran High School Host Club? (People got into the anime, who tf read the origial webcomics before that?)
I was reading One Piece reader inserts and SasuNaru fanfiction prior to that (although I was personally a big Pokemon yumejo, Red was hot), I felt like Kuroshitsuji hit way harder in my region than Hetalia ever did, everyone's husbando was fucking Sebastian Michaelis.
I feel like Hetalia was bigger with fujos than yumejos anyway, given the character dynamics.
Either way, you're giving Hetalia way too much credit.
>gigachad
Also, you talk like a moid.

Arthur is literally the perfect man. I would die happy if he was real and could fyck me one time.

I think it’s kinda cute but I def don’t personally understand how far ppl go with it. Also I fear the community is just the 2020 kinning community 2.0 kek

>>38320

not my cup of tea, I can have beloved characters I buy merch of and hold close to my heart but I don't really do any self inserting. It can get annoying depending on the character and intention/kinks tho.

>>38320
LoL wtf. Is this like Erika Eiffel and object sexualization?

Nevermind. Now I understand.

Tigers are probably my favorite animal. They're so powerful and majestic. I sometimes go to the zoo just to see the tiger.

+1 with the wild cats. can't forget about the smaller ones too, like servals <3

>>36742
Snow leopards are my spirit animal

>>23503
idk why but this pick of orochimaru looks familiar somehow.

>main job?
Bard
>least favorite job?
Maybe Gunbreaker
>favorite npc?
Hien
>opinion on sprouts
They are alright, it's mentors that are bad typically. It's nice coming across a mentor that actually helps players though.

>main job?
BLM
>least favorite job?
i have only tried blm and rdm, both were pretty fun
>favorite npc?
ilberd
>opinion on sprouts
no opinion, just lost the sprout myself

>>24150
I'm this anon and I'm here to say now that I've tried Gunbreaker more, Astrologian is now my least favorite job.

>>22137
>main job?
scholar!! i used to main smn but after shb it just… :(
>least favorite job?
summoner now. too easy blehh
>favorite npc?
elidibus best boy. emet selch is also at a close second, i love his snarky demeanor bahaha
>opinion on sprouts
they're ok!! its nice having new people in the game, as long as theyre receptive to advice.

It's just stupid and they're all cash grabs without any sincerity. I tried a couple times thinking maybe just maybe I'm wrong but every time I came back realizing I was right all along, as always.

Straight romance media is either a snoozefest or makes me roll my eyes every 5 seconds or so, I find yaoi and yuri more interesting on average.
So essentially I do avoid straight romance, but can tolerate it if its not too obnoxious. I like yaoi and yuri better but romance isn't exactly my #1 favorite genre so I usually don't go out of my way to find it. None of this is because I'm lonely, however.

>>38208
I avoid straight romance too because I hate how women are written. Can we name any straight romance where they show a future shot of the old and gray couple and they're just happily hanging out and never had children? That's a big part that fucks me up. If I like a female character, she's usually a cool adventure lady, and to see her fate as being demoted to pregnant and/or nurturing just ruins the whole thing. Kids ruin adventure and romance, I don't want to see anything to do with the topic.

This usually doesn't happen with the gay male ships. Though with the trans stuff in the past 10 years, I've seen more art where they turn one female and she ends up pregnant anyway, so I can't even get away from it that way anymore. I've learned that I don't hate romance, I hate contrivances and unequal relationships that are treated as normal.

>>38252
this reminds me how a lot of the time the mc in otome games is an amorphous blob. she's often timid, lame and lacks initiative.

I mean it makes sense, MCs in romance are often like that so the other characters have more space to shine, but I just think it is lame. I want something like female Rance

i like looking at romance media with rly abusive relationships - not that i want them irl lol. it just makes me feel better about myself and its on the same entertainment level as true crime

Piracy is in my blood, a way of life where I live, it's not my fault my country's currency is so shit that something cheap and mundane in the West costs a week worth of meals here.

Games, music, films, everything; actually, does bootlegging my own merch (not buying from bootleggers) count? Because I love this one game but I hate the company's practices.

But I still support artists if I can, either through local merch or buying access to their original comics/manga if it's all reasonably priced (like, a keychain shouldn't cost both of my lungs and kidney combined); wouldn't support those who deliberately bootleg them. Still, the choices I have are limited so I'm sailing the seas anyway.

Imagine paying for Netflix lmao

>>32587

Kodi? So true nona me too

Thinking of doing it the cute way where I make a NAS server, buy blurays from the thrift store, burn them onto my drive before returning them to the thrift.
I only need a YT subscription otherwise. There’s a lot of cozy free movies on there.

>>34042
I’m with you on that - the only things I ever downloaded were stuff you can’t rent or buy anyway.

i mainly play retro vidya but i've seen so many fatfuck 45 year old collecters price them at 30 dollars. its not like im supporting the original company that made them by paying for them anyways. piracy 4 life. normalize emulating old games.

I miss Windows XP and Newgrounds so much. The only thing is back then I had a shitty cyberschool laptop with retarded website blockers.

>>482
What ever happened to this?

>>37429
Yes

Today's shittification is a symptom of inflation. People need to make more money than they used to.

>>38025
What does this have to do with anything?
