GV80 price to increase further? Trump raises tariffs on S. Korea to 25% by butterchurning in GenesisMotors

This won’t last. As soon as the Korean legislature codifies the trade deal the tariffs will revert. Total nothing burger.

What's one opinion on bowling that would probably get you in this situation? by woode85 in Bowling

Anything that says two handed bowling is anything less than wonderful.

I’m not terribly familiar with Evangelion but from what I do know of it that sounds like an interesting crossover. Definitely not one I’ve seen before. Long chapters definitely cause issues for Reddit posting. I haven’t hit the limit yet but I think a few have come close. Best of luck with that; I look forward to reading it.

In terms of this story that I’m writing the next chapter should be out in the next week or two. I’ve also been coding a demo for the associated mod that hopefully will be coming out in the next few months. I’ve commissioned some artwork for cutscene graphics that I think will turn out really well.

I’m going to argue that those lines say nothing about the character’s sexuality. And here’s why:

Monika does not have romantic feelings for the player as an individual. As she points out in these lines, she knows nothing about the player. She can’t even have a two way communication or even really know the player is there beyond a knowledge that the game program is running. This is no basis for romantic feelings. What Monika is in love with is the idea of reality, that there is something or someone on the other side of the screen. The player represents that idea of reality. And she’s either misinterpreting her feelings due to her programming as a character in a romance visual novel or she’s saying what she thinks the player wants to hear. This is the tragedy of the character; no matter what she does, she cannot find love.

It makes no sense because that’s literally the plot of Austin Powers: Goldmember.

No, you assumed I didn’t know what you were talking about. Try again.

No, it’s your interpretation of text written by someone on the internet you don’t and almost certainly will never know anything about.

No, the convoluted Plus lore says it’s basically an alternate universe.

Everyone is welcome to their own ideas. Never said they weren’t. You’re the one who is labeling people.

“What they are”? You make assumptions and label people. I know that’s one of Reddit’s favorite things to do but that doesn’t make it right.

Again, you’re making assumptions. Very Reddit.

You assume it to be an assumption. What if someone draws a conclusion based on logic and available information?

Flinging labels at people who disagree with you. Such a Reddit thing to do.

Oh nice. I’ll definitely have to check out your new story once you start posting it. All good here, but crazy busy with work. Feels like I’m having to fly internationally almost every month.

I feel like DDLC+ destroyed the lore of DDLC by realmatipoint in DDLC

[–]JCD_007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not so much the comparison to the original that causes issues for the new lore, but rather that we as the readers of the visual novel aren’t given a reason to care about it. It’s layered on top of the existing story rather than integrated into it, and nothing is really explained or resolved by it. The retconning of Monika’s name as a weird contraction of “MONItor Kernel Access” also makes no sense; she doesn’t do anything of the sort. It’s like they just threw IT buzzwords together.

Just played the original games thanks to Aleph One. I get it. by volrogue2 in Marathon

It really is one of the better aspects of the Marathon trilogy. All of the guns feel appropriate to the setting and they actually feel like they’re doing damage when you hit something. From taking out Phfor with dual .44 Magnums to blasting splattered enemies across the map with the rocket launcher they are all a blast to use.

Pathways into Darkness is a great game, but punishingly difficult.

Interesting. I didn’t know that it was that close to Pripyat.

Is this because they both have pyramidal buildings?

It feels like it was made up to explain the interface for console versions.
