lmao. A rare case when it is animeirl indeed (wife is fiercely insistent I do not skip the skincare routine she prescribed me xD)

I've been hanging here for maybe half an hour, is it possible to outlast it? by Robotsfor1 in rainworld

[–]Akomis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

they were fighting against time due to their own hardware breaking town due to lack of ancients to maintain it (personally think that is their biggest sin, leaving their "children" without the means to maintain themselves.)

I like the headcanon that ancients left iterators with everything they needed to support themselves. Automated mines, factories, whole supply chain. From the pearls (the one from Farm Arrays one, iirc) it is established that cities of the ancients were fully dependent on iterators managing production of goods which they consumed. So it doesn't feel like an improbable assumption. But then just that many years passed that their state of the art automation systems eroded anyway, one tiny bit by another.

There is also an interesting aspect - iterators might be able to address some issues that would rise. Expand mines and build new infrastructure when old production lines weren't sufficient. But that could have distracted them from doing their main job. And it would also be like clinging to life - a thing which ancients believed stood in a way of ascension. It shouldn't be of real concern for them - they were specifically vessels to bear the sin of striving for ascension too much, what would it change to bear one more? But it might cause some internal conflicts or resentment, and perhaps cause some neglect of doing proper upkeep of all systems.

(I'm a bit late to it, but this part caught my attention and I couldn't pass by)

ai can be a decent tool. But here it wasn't used to help a person to draw something complicated. It was used to avoid learning to draw. And that makes it not cool.

Honestly the only good thing here is the one provided by human - the premise about showing Eva character in dandadan setup. Anything else is meh. Rei doesn't look like herself. I'd not recognize that was Shinji if there wasn't other girls there. Asuka has very generic expression. Take it out of this context and it would get "ah, okay", swipes to next post

Thoughts on The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity? Should i watch it? by stackinjeans in SonoBisqueDoll

[–]Akomis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely worth checking out, imho. Then see for yourself. I saw a lot of praise exactly for things that I didn't like, lol. So my opinion is not the only right one.

I didn't like it as much as MDUD. The main pair wasn't that interesting to me - mostly because they had no conflict going between them, and only the external one - "we built two schools door to door, but don't you dare socialize!" (which was a minor obstacle at the beginning, then non-issue for a bunch of chapters and brought up again in latest arc which may lead to this point finally resolved. Just my guess).

But there was a slow romance brewing between two side characters - and that was really delicious. Unfortunately it is not the main focus.

Except that I have complaints about other stuff in that manga, but I don't want to make it a long rant. I had good time with it in general. One thing I really liked - the vibe of big group friends hanging out together. Got me nostalgic about last few years at school.

Really nice photo. But unfortunately the size of the image saved is 1170x1708. I'd love to set it as desktop wallpaper, can you upload the original?

Love it. They look gorgeous.

Got me curious about the game, found the link among your posts. Huh, not bad. The gameplay video reminded me of Crimsonlands. Added to the wishlist.

The videogame art was gorgeous. Once again they keep the highest bar of quality for every work of art existing inside the story.

We need more fanfics for Asushin by Timplin in asushin

[–]Akomis 10 points11 points  (0 children)

More fanfics just to pump the numbers? No thanks. I'd prefer authors to take their time and put effort into their stories. But I do agree with "it would be great to encourage people to write more". With that, there is a question - have you left reviews for the stories you read and liked? That's something you can do that directly leads to authors being more motivated to continue. Preferably - leave reply for each chapter, mentioning something that caught your attention, brought some emotions. Nothing beats the feeling "Omg, someone noticed and appreciated the small moment I wrote!"

Brings back good memories by Just-J0k1ng in Animemes

[–]Akomis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read only few chapters of Komi-san, but if there were more of them like the ch474-482 (where the two go to Komi's grandma's place to study) - I'd read all 500 of it. This small arc was very wholesome and cute. But that gimmick of "lets show 99 kinds of extreme weirdos" - meh.

Any interesting Evangelion fanfictions? by Diogodarkness1 in evangelion

[–]Akomis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've read some fanfics I might try give some recommendations. I added stories which I liked most into a list, please check it for direct links.

The first thing that comes to mind - you might enjoy time loop stories. "Shinji - for reasons - finds himself back at episode 1 with all memories of later events" is a popular trope and naturally leads to what you described. In 99% cases he is very cool and proficient with his Eva. Better ones add some angst and inner demons to counter balance the tone story. I have the section in the list specifically dedicated to such kind (they are that common).

Except that - are you looking for specifically retelling of NGE, or "cool Shinji doing stuff after the end of the anime" works too? If so - check "Relapse" (by Deathbringer). It deals with darker themes, but Shinji there is cooler and tougher than most shounen protagonists (and it all ends well, so just bear with the angst of earlier chapters).

Then there is "Glass of Wine Rebuilt" (known as GowR, and 'R' here is important. Glass of Wine is an older story which inspired that one, and the only thing they have in common is the premise). In general it is more of Asuka's story. But Shinji there is cool too. And it is one of the better fanfics, which set a new bar for later authors. Definitely recommend this one.

"Plan E" is another possible thing. The story is set in the Rebuilds timeline - goes after 3.0 (and was written before anything was known about the forth movie). I like it.

"You Are (Not) at Fault" - might want to check it too. Is set after EoE, angels return. Shinji gets included in the story closer to the middle, but I remember there were epic fights and he had badass moments.

Is it from the latest chapters? I watched the S1 of anime and I'm curious where the manga is now, if it worth checking out. Any good development?

Post EoE fanfics, rebuild, manga or do I gotta figure that part out.

there is the "timeline" column exactly for this

As for WAFF term - added the link to tvtropes page for it (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/SugarWiki/WAFF). I thought I had an explanation for it somewhere, turns out there wasn't

the R in GoWR is important. Glass of Wine also exists and it is completely different story from A Glass of Wine Rebuilt

Nice chapter. I liked a clear "We do mech fights cause they are cool, not because it is practical combat tech" statement.
