I agree with the conventional decor ruling out a lot of the merch. For me, the problem with keychains isn’t that it clashes with my fashion. (my wallet is star wars themed, so fandom keychains fit right in), the problem is that I don’t like the change out keychains very often. I need something where my favorite character doesn’t change to often.

I’m a sucker for thing “from something” as well, I usually think of food not clothing though.

Humenity’s selvation will come from tripping on drugs?

It looks so good, doesn’t it? I ended up backing their kickstarter so I could buy some of their stickers.

Sounds like it would be amazing if done well. I really like otome games with deep plots beyond the romance. That’s why I enjoyed cafe enchante despite the poor translation. I do enjoy a slice of life once in while too though.

I’ve regretted it before, but never enough not stay up again the next time. XD

trademarks are good for 10 years and looking at some of twitters trademarks it seems the renewed them in 2019. So yes, in 2029, if X hasn’t reverted to being called twitter then their trademarks will be unprotected.

This is probably a good time for me to lay out a piracy policy:

If the game does not have a legitimate English version and it’s older than 5 years, direct piracy links are allowed.

If a game did have a legitimate English version but is on a system that is no longer supported, that specific version is ok to post. For example, Hakuoki on the 3DS is allowed because the eshop is closed, but Hakuoki on the Vita isn’t because the Vita store is still running.

I personally think that piracy makes it more difficult for creators to be fairly paid, but also that it is necessary for game preservation under current copyright laws.

Two scenarios came to mind immediately. 1. Merpeople. The MC is mermaid and LI’s are all mermen, no need to turn it into a “the little mermaid” thing and bring in human LI’s. Bonus, all the LI’s are shirtless all the time. 2. A Coven. The MC is part of a longstanding coven and has grown up as a witch. Dating presents a dilemma because she can’t let her potential partners know she’s a witch until she can trust them, but it’s hard to date someone when you’re hiding being a witch.

Oooh, what game?

It just hits different when it’s late. Or alternatively, I start reading with the intention of staying up for a normal amount of time and then I get sucked in.

Learning to drive. I’ve met a few people who didn’t learn to drive until their late 20’s or 30’s and there always seems to be some awkwardness to their driving. On the opposite side, learning to drive at 16 seems to encourage reckless habits to form, people I’ve known who waited until 18 have much better driving habits on average.

Uh, the first one. It’s all downhill after that. It’s the only one he’s ever pulled off. Look at the goals for the master plan part 2 and you’ll see that they haven’t managed to do a single one, but Elon still went ahead a published a part 3. Why actually meet goals when you can just pretend you’ve met them by posting new ones, I guess.

I have been summoned! thanks @euphoria, @Elevator7009. I am indeed the mod of m/Otomegames. Come join us :) we’re friendly.

I don’t think so? I’m struggling to think of how it would enhance human rights. Isn’t it the same as regular marriage without the trip to the local court? I always thought other countries had it as a penalty so that couples couldn’t use cohabitating but not getting married as a tax loophole.

Yep, though the single option is often written as single/never married so that it’s more clear. We don’t have common law marriages (except a few states) so those 4 categories cover every situation, though without much detail.

Shu’s route in Dairoku. He’s basically a child. He looks and acts like a child. He’s technically thousands of years old, but I think we all know that’s just a “clever” way to skirt laws. This trope appears all the time in harem anime and I was disappointed to see it in reverse in Dairoku. His appearance is around 12-15 and the MC is in her mid-20’s. Even if he was drawn to look like an adult, it’s super uncomfortable to date someone who’s mentally a child.

Additionally, there’s a whole mystery surrounding Shu. He appears in other routes as an aloof figure with unknown motives. When you finally play his route and uncover the mystery, it’s lame. It’s a lame mystery with a lame conclusion imo.

Lord of the Wings: Demo

It’s a Dungeons and Dragons inspired (I think the characters are basically living in a dnd world), romcom featuring a cartoon art style very similar to Total Drama Island. It’s heavy on the comedy. If you’re a fan of tabletop RPG’s I’d definitely recommend checking this one out. If you’ve never played dungeons and dragons though, you’ll likely miss a lot of the jokes. It’s fully voiced, and has a good bit of MC customization options.

I’d like to encourage more upvoting and boosting too! I like leaving comments, but I know not everyone does. The points from upvoting themselves don’t mean anything, but it lets me know if my post is appreciated or if someone else’s post is worth reading past the headline.

A new car not having CarPlay isn’t even something I thought I’d have to look out for, yikes. Every rental I’ve gotten over the past few years has had it, and it’s such an upgrade from having to deal with the shitty built in systems.

Reading the article, they’re also getting rid of Android Auto, so really this is just GM being too cheap for literally no reason. I used to think Ford was the company that wouldn’t survive the transition to EV’s. With GM doing stupid things like this and the electric F150 actually being good, it’s looking more and more like GM is the one that’s in trouble.

Thank you for explaining this, I’ve had federation turned off for a while now and have been wondering why so many things from Lemmy still pop up.
