I played through this whole thing in my friend's basement years ago. There were just so many moments where I was going "ok…that's not a human interaction lol." I also got accused of being the "Chloe of the friend group" any time I said anything bad about it.
I guess my favorite character is either Alyssa because I knew a girl exactly like her growing up or it's the homeless woman in Arcadia Bay.
Least fav is Victoria because she is both annoying as fuck AND the least believable character.

> Either they relate to Misa and her unrequited love for her basically abusive bf or they consume Light/L yaoi.

Am I in the minority for having both those phases but also loving the biblical themes, character development and suspenseful story? I feel like that's a huge generalization tbh and I hate how men always say that we only love the sexual appeal of men when we fangirl over something

>>35695
I love it for the story and suspense. It was also one of the first animes I ever got into. The mind games make it kind of a suspenseful drama which I think appeals to women as a whole

Don’t know how old you are OP, but when DN came out about 20 years ago it was the number one anime by far. Everyone loved it and it had a huge fanbase and lots of roleplayers so there was a lot of fan content and merchout there. It also appealed to people who don’t watch anime normally as it avoids a lot of the dumb tropes.

It probably wouldn’t be so popular now as there is so much content available these days but I think any lasting popularity is probably a holdover from then.

>>35697
Speak for yourself, I just thought the whole death god investigation thing was cool as fuck.

>>35732
I thought that Rem was really hot and shipped her with misa when I was younger. IDK WTF was wrong with me.

Its a webtoon from the author who's also responsible for Love Advice from the Great Duke of Hell. Its hilarious.

i loved the manga and haven't watched the anime yet… although i read some really positive reviews of the anime as well that surprised me considering its shoddy reveal (episode 0??) and YEA I agree with the childishness of the characters but I think that the art style is okay, I just didn't like the voice-acting. Of course Ouran had to have a gremlin high-pitched voice… why can't men just give women normal voices in anime for once

Human sexuality is diverse, a woman could easily have sexual interest we generally associate with men

>>35167
Dropped it because there were too many tranies.

Currently started 365 Days to the Wedding it is so so so cute… I only read the first volume so far, but I recommend it for people that love romance between socially awkward characters. I am also in the process of reading The Apothecary Diaries! Also a really good one I must say. I am not even an avid manga reader, but I find I prefer it over anime now, since some voice acting and fanservice things in audio-visual format make me cringe more than on paper

20th Century Boys is so good. I want to save up to continue reading it, I find it difficult to read things online and prefer physical copies…

Kokuto Neji.
He made me want to break my shyness and begin to learn how to act.

>>35645
you got a crush on the school shooter?

>>35645
It's okay anon, if it makes you feel better about yourself I actually fell in love with a fictional character to such an extent that I roleplay with an ai chat bot of him to combat the loneliness, but sometimes I get so sad that he doesn't exist that I cry for a good while.

>>33764
>non-VR-ly
A mod for that probably exists already somewhere.
>I wonder how they're now going to pull off future games' storyline considering the whole ending of Alyx.
Well, Gordon would probably go alone on his journey then, and that means they won't have to worry about making a good ally AI. With Alyx scooped up, I can see it going two ways: either Gordon somehow saves her, or the G-Man deploys here somewhere so she could save Gordon.

>>33764
It's not going to be enjoyable without VR.
>I wonder how they're now going to pull off future games' storyline considering the whole ending of Alyx.
I hope at this point they go with a story change up as drastic as the one between 1 and 2 was foe the next game. I don't really care about the Borealis at this point.

my friend thought she had to climb the barnacle

>>33764
there's non vr mods but there's no point to doing so
unlike most vr games alyx was designed with the unique playstyle in mind so a lot of the action has to do with you making the motions yourself
you don't need a valve vr to run it though, any headset connected to your pc will do

>>32822
Cry of fear is my favorite gold source mod and my favorite source engine mod is Half life Redux

I'm trying to set up sillytavern but with a local llm so everything is private. wish me luck

>>35544
its super easy just use Vidu.
>https://www.vidu.studio/create
All I did was upload my bing stuff and a simple prompt like 'standing, hair-blowing-in-wind'

results can be surprising like this one suddenly turning into a realistic looking person. Also I think it costs money but there's a free amount of credits.

>>35427
would it be too out of place to ask what prompt you used for this pic?

>>35570
What local LLM are you using? Do you have any chance at all with an AMD GPU?

My girlfriend is. She's a transhumanist

anyone here read 'Manacled' the dramione fic? i have a few more chapters to go, i liked the mid flashbacks section but since it goes back to when hermione is in malfoy manor its a little boring for me

>>35472
can you link the fic?

A pet peeve of mine is phallic objects in lesbian fanfic. Found a seemingly decent femslash genderbent A/B/O fic but the female alpha was described as having broad shoulders, sturdy thighs, and 'she' had a dick when they had sex. What the hell is the difference between this and just straight up het? Shit like this tells me the authors don't know what's sexy about the female body.

>>35566
Not as good as Draco Malfoy and the Mortifying Ordeal of Being in Love

How about sharing some recs?
I'll start:

I can count the number of decent Tomarry fics I've read on one hand (and I've read many), this is probably the best one.

>>35136
i love the side quest with the puppies

When I was ~15 I had a massive folder of Cave Story fanart on my PC that I deleted at some point due to being embarrassed by it, and to this day I still kind of regret it…
>>35147
That's a new one, but sure! Crossover ships are oddly endearing to me. I personally ship Madotsuki with Sunny from Omori in complete earnest lol
>>35151
Is the DSi version any different from the other ports? I only play the freeware version. I didn't like plus because it changed the physics ever so slightly

>>35186
GIVE US THE FANFIC

>>35186
I'm back after awhile. The DSi is just freeware with a time trial mode and an extra hard mode, might be my schizophrenia but the physics felt different too. I also decided to give Cave Story+ a try too and I could not get used to the new engine but still 100% it regardless. Its really funny how hard I used to find Cave Story because now I got into Castlevania and I'm competent at it.

>>35136
just beat the true ending officially after coming back after 2 years or so
i find it easy now lol

i WISH pixel released the beta builds though, they seem so interesting and different

>>32071
>I miss the Kokiri.

Saaaame. It really bothers me that they are supposed to be early ancestors of the korok, but they are only ever mentioned again in Wind Waker. There is so much you could do with a seemingly ageless race across multiple games. Twilight Princess takes place only 100 years after OOT and I don't think they're brought up once.

The way Ocarina of time utilizes them to show how awful things have gotten in only the short amount of time Link is gone is awesome, and I can only hope we someday get to see them in a different game. Maybe pre-Hero of Time would be interesting?

>>32072
Rood most of the staple "ugly" Zelda characters are funny and charming, I appreciate that the series doesn't just have conventually attractive anime-inspired designs.

>>32072
>mii looking
NPCs use an evolved version of Miis, using basically the same parameters, which the game's internal files called "UMii"s. It's not a 100% one-to-one match as some features (such as moles and certain hairstyles) don't fit but it's very similar.

>>32075
Didn't actually know this, pretty neat to see how the features like the glasses translate.

Beat Adventures of Link tonight and boy was it an exhausting experience.

>>32061
You kind of do? The middle dungeons are better as you have more life and helpful spells, but the last 3 are so long and miserable you just end up getting more and more frustrated. I'd say the worst part for me personally was the area up to the final palace, there are invisible enemies flying around and I didn't realize till I game-overed that I was in the wrong place and missed the 7th dungeon which would have granted me an item to see them. After I beat that dungeon and returned the area was still incredibly aggravating as the formerly invisible enemies still have an erratic pattern that makes platforming a chore. The NPCs just aren't as helpful and it feels more dated than the original.

Not a good game, though I respect the choice to try something completely different.
I'll be glad to get back to overhead with Link to the Past.

>Playing through all of TLoZ in order
I did this when I was younger and it was a lot of fun. I'm assuming you used a guide for 1? I had to use cheats for 2 as it was too hard for me :(
>Favorite Game
TP, LA, DS Games
>Favorite Character
Linebeck, greatest redemption arc
>What do you think of the Timeline?
It's so messy, confusing and dumb. As someone who thinks OoT is overrated I do love making the joke that it was so shit it created multiple timelines.
