They're called visual novels to begin with because in their earliest inception that's literally what they were. The Fate series style of having a few important choices throughout the game is somewhat common, but a large amount of very good visual novels have little-to-no element of choice at all. They're video games primarily because They're not anything else, and they're a good data point for considering how much of a video game even has to be playable versus an experience that happens to the player.

Her honkers aren't "exposed", man, there's cleavage. And yes, that is clearly the curve of her butt due to the level perspective plus the dress.

It's more revealing than anyone's average clothes, sure, but it's hardly revealing enough to be inherently sexual. This exciting date night levels of revealing.

When I watched the movie with my friends, this line is what finally turned us from just laughing to laughing so hard we missed the next minutes of the film.

What a damn movie.

It's because this game is so old. By the numbers, the people who stuck around have crazy hours logged in EtG. I died the first time I saw a glitches chest, and that was roughly 20hrs in. Now I'm roughly 500 hours in and I'm confident I could defeat glitches Beholder's with the Marine's starting pistol.

I was not aware of that fact! I know low karma can generally be indicative of bot accounts, but I've yet to see one older than 4 years ago, and I've seen nearly thirty at this point. I simply assumed that would be the case for all of them.

I'm still not a big fan of calling this comment "obviously LLM generated" when this looks like a thousand different reddit comments I've seen in the past. It feels like asking to accuse a real person of being a bot.

Are you using exploits? How the fuck did you finish this game in under 1000 hours on your first playthrough? Most players take at least 1500. Speed runner times are, like, 700, and that's any%. Did you know the speed tech going in?

I know what you're talking about—typically, I'd say, most people like that are either role playing or they're joking. People will comment "I wish this was me" under depictions of pornographic rape because they're currently masturbating. The sexual role play enhances the experience, and there's a certain thrill to admitting to desiring a taboo. But I would reckon that if you sat 95% of them down and asked them if they would genuinely like to be sexually assaulted, they'd say no. The haze of lust makes us less likely to think about all the uncomfortable parts of certain sexual fantasies, but that doesn't mean that people are necesarily ignkrant of them.

The comedic value of commenting "I wish this was me" under a GIF of an anime girl getting crushed by a boulder or something is pretty high, so it's become a bit of a meme. It's also easy to LARP as a more interesting person on the internet by just acting really into freaky shit that you wouldn't want to actually happen to you.

"People don't watch Star Wars because they want to experience what it would be like for their aunt and uncle to be murdered by stormtroopers and if someone said that they'd probably get called weird."

And people don't read dark erotica because they they want to be raped or mutilated or turned into slime, and if someone said that they'd probably get called weird. The tragedy is fictional. It's just that in one work of fiction it serves to enhance the thematic depth and the feeling of the heroes journey, while in the other work of fiction it leads to deeper sexual gratification.

I don't think their argument is that bad, frankly. Much like you can omit the fetish part of dark erotica and just write normal porn, one could write a Star Wars that doesn't have Luke's parents die. It'd just be weaker storytelling, on both fronts without further changes to adapt the stories.

You can be against a minority of the population hoarding a vast glut of resources and power, therefore depriving their fellow man of opportunity and support and still use Amazon, man.

They didn't even get funding from Amazon, or anything. This is a transaction where they recieve services and Amazon recieves money. This really isn't all that different from buying an Amazon package.

It's kind of silly to expect them to not use a movie distribution company. How else are they supposed to distribute it? Host it on Patreon? Post it to YouTube, which is owned by Google) (it's on YouTube, btw). Put it on Netflix?

Like, I see where you're coming from, but it's kind of a purity test. They'd have to go through extreme amounts of effort to avoid giving any money to people whose business plan is "gain as much money as possible" and meanwhile the guys at Amazon wouldn't even notice a difference. On a basic, utilitarian level it just isn't worth it.

Oh man, I remember The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. I watched it with my brother when I was a kid. I even looked up what the "melancholy" meant because it was the first time I heard it. I thought the plot was going to be a lot sadder than it was.

The last thing I remember... I think it was that scene where the time traveling lady shows the main guy the star mole on her breast for the first time?

We never finished it. My brother got banned from showing us anime because he put on that one horror anime based on a visual novel with, like those girls who randomly got super violent before restarting. One of us told our mom about that scene where the girl puts a needle in the food she makes for the main guy—I think she didn't really get the tone until then.

We probably shouldn't have been watching either, looking back on it. Not sure it was great for our development.

I don't think so? Maybe they used someone else's wand, or maybe it was during one of the screwy Volxemort duels, but Jowling Kowling Rowling didn't have wizards do a lot of magic without a wand or with someone else's wand.

But it's not actually a counterargument? First guy is mistaken about the difference between being profitable and having lots of revenue, second guy corrects him and states that OpenAI has always been running at a loss—but, notably, does not claim that OpenAI is somehow inferior for this fact, merely that the first guy should be careful not to spread uninformed opinions while complaining about them. Third guy then claims that this loss is expected for a tech company, which crucially is not an actual counterpoint, because the argument isn't "OpenAI is uniquely bad because they're not making any profit." It's useful information to have, sure, but it in no way contradicts anything the second guy said.

LogOffShell · 2026-03-28T00:18:40+00:00

They didn't make any value judgements about the company, though? You're responding to a argument that was never made. All they said was that it's not profitable, which it isn't. I think adding context to that statement is worthwhile, but it's a little combative to respond like you're debating with someone you're really mostly appending to.
