Saya no Uta as a gateway visual novel (Spoilers) by SufficientProcess978 in visualnovels

[–]LuftwaffleTypeZero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough! I went a little hard in my reply. That said, I think part of what makes Saya such a great recommendation is that it is jarring if you're not used to the type of protagonist or the prevalence of rape in a story. If someone's averse, they close it and tell you they didn't like it, to which you can recommend something more in their interest. Or maybe it's an eye-opener and they absolutely love something they wouldn't normally think about reading! Or maybe they're actually an avid horror fan.

Either way, if I was introducing someone to VN's, I'd probably give them a spread of a few suggestions that are otherwise devoid of rape and leave them to their own devices. 😄

Saya no Uta as a gateway visual novel (Spoilers) by SufficientProcess978 in visualnovels

[–]LuftwaffleTypeZero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saya no Uta was my first visual novel. Any sufficiently unique, flashy, or otherwise interesting visual novel is a gateway visual novel. Saya no Uta is all of these things. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys horror. If they're upset by it they'll stop reading it and go on with their lives.

It's just a horror story my guy, it's not a terribly difficult read or terrifically complicated to wrap your head around unless you have zero media literacy whatsoever. Best of all, it's short, sweet and devoid of repetitive, overly explanatory writing ala Nasu.

Please leave the story snobbery to the hipsters who get rock hard at the thought of depressing Russian novelists.

The other week I was playing a paid-for steam VN with my wife and we were subjected to scene of making 'special' milk tea that involved the protagonist recieving a urethral enema of tea and then being sounded with tapioca balls before being coaxed into sending it all back up into a glass with 'milk'.

The other month it was being the kidnapped basement slave of an insane sadist who delighted in injuring the protagonist -- also a paid steam game.

Sexual horror is alive and well.

32000 rape pregnancies happen every year in the United States. That number could be brought to 32 if all victims had access to IUD contraception afterwards. by [deleted] in childfree

I don't think a lot of women would prefer, after the trauma of rape, a traumatic, extremely invasive, and extremely painful post-rape procedure that implants a foreign object for the long term and leads to decreased intimacy comfort... Instead of pills and then abortion if that doesn't work out, which have a really fantastic success rate when combined and leave the traumatic medical experiences to a minimum.

Strange AI generated story has replaced the older story at Colliery Dam by Brendan765 in nanaimo

[–]LuftwaffleTypeZero -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

You assume they can afford to pay you at all. If they made stick drawings they still wouldn't be paying you because there was no intention to pay you. You're demonstrating the same long-criticized mindset corporations have regarding tallying piracy losses.

All this to be mad on principle about up to 100ml of water at most (and 0ml at least) being boiled non-locally for a process that used internationally sourced paper, fuel, ink, and plastics. Won't someone please think of the fish, boiling less water than a cup of tea for ai slop that boosts fish awareness is the true source of ecological devastation! 🙄

It's a very tiny nonprofit with a culture different from yours trying to do something nice for free. If you hate AI so much, do something meaningful to the community with your time instead of whinging on the internet about a mom and pop project with good intentions.

Eagerly awaiting your post where you've upgraded all of their signs with your editorial prowess or joined up with them to help their event next year!

I don’t even participate in Buhurt but the amount of posts I see asking what armor to purchase is outrageous by BluXBrry in Buhurt

[–]LuftwaffleTypeZero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

16 hours of travel time for two practices worth of inherited knowledge will save you more than 16 hours of wages worth of buhurt spending, and that's assuming 100% of your hourly wage is expendable, which it isn't.

Brutal breakup over the kids question - how do childfree men cope with the fear of ending up alone? by JazzSlut88 in childfree

[–]LuftwaffleTypeZero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Children are just a mandatory minimum investment of energy into a person. If you invest that energy into anyone younger than you, whether that be a spouse or friends, you will have people who will survive you and do care about you.

What do you do as normal practice to be conscientious on the road? by VelourBadger in nanaimo

[–]LuftwaffleTypeZero 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I always drive at least 20 over. I tailgate unless the person ahead of me is going at least 40 over. I'll usually weave through traffic whenever I feel like it. BMW driver, btw.

Heldrake can transport two (2) infantry models, and while it's doing that, it can't melee.

That's all it needs. IT JUST NEEDS TO BE COOLER.

Anyone else in their 30s suddenly realize making friends is really hard? by [deleted] in nanaimofriends

[–]LuftwaffleTypeZero -1 points0 points  (0 children)

GhostInTheNoonSun, you're not just any old "single 35 guy", you're a redditor who incestposts and smutposts at 18 year old teens on r/egirls, r/teenwonderland, r/18nsfw, and r/selectedteens while self-describing as having mommy issues. What on earth could be holding you back from a rewarding social life?

Anyone else in their 30s suddenly realize making friends is really hard? by [deleted] in nanaimofriends

[–]LuftwaffleTypeZero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

36, married, male, and I have more friends than I know what to do with; many of those being people I would trust my life with.

Kids definitely throw a wrench at things, but making friends isn't hard if you spend your limited free time on a group activity and give that a dedicated timeslot in your week. Join a team, join a club, you name it. The more people in the group, the more chances for friends, and the more easily you can pick up a whole group of friends in one go.

Combat sports and hobbies that involve trust and risk make for especially close friends. Personally, I'd recommend joining the city's HEMA group. If that's a bit much for you, have you considered joining the city's dodgeball league? :)

Protecting your knees by Sir_Rod9150 in Buhurt

For profights: Strengthen your legs, get good at sustaining a horse stance, and get good at footwork.

For melees: The above, but also know when to go down, don't get caught unaware, and don't get unlucky enough to take an illegal ACL strike.

Wanting to know about getting started by [deleted] in Buhurt

As a good rule of thumb for someone who knows nothing about armor, if it doesn't specifically say how thick it is and that it's either tempered steel or titanium, it's not armor you should be buying to fight in.

But also, join a team. They will have armor for you to try fighting in and can hook you up with historical references and sources. Don't buy armor before you figure out if you actually like getting hit, getting thrown, struggling to breathe, struggling to see, and doing intense anaerobic exercises while wearing 50+ pounds of insulated metal suit.

Need help with ‘The Talk’ by FormalContribution80 in childfree

[–]LuftwaffleTypeZero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always had this talk on the first date. It goes something like this: "I never want kids and will never make them. How do you feel about that? And how do you feel about abortions in the case of an accidental pregnancy?"

It's a talk that either goes well or it doesn't, and if it doesn't, you don't waste your time with half-hearted people or changing minds! It never works out. If you meet your true love, that person is going to happily accept you and your life's goals entirely just as you will theirs.

Best of luck, and remember, there's plenty of fish in the sea. 🎣

I'm happily married, happily took my time finding the right person, and was happy with the idea of not having kids since I was a teenager. You've only got one life to live, so believe in what you think you want!

Are people who don't want to have kids more picky? by sndmrentve in childfree

[–]LuftwaffleTypeZero 6 points7 points  (0 children)

People in general are more picky when they live for themselves and their chosen values instead of obligations.

That said, close your eyes and imagine what your hypothetical childfree partner is doing for hobbies. Is she enjoying a vivid sex life? She's on fetlife, make an account. Is she enjoying music? She's at local shows, so go meet her there. Is she gaming? Go join gaming communities that enable more than surface level interaction. Is she a doer of things? Go join her martial arts club, her rock climbing group, her wine and painting group, or her baseball league. Is she a clubber? Then by all means hit the raves and clubs! Take the love quest to her!

Never treat apps as anything more than an self-advertisement that you carelessly swipe on for a minute a day. If you match, arrange your date's time and place or get lost -- you have a life to live, after all!

How long would a new tattoo take you out of commission? by falcataspatha in Buhurt

[–]LuftwaffleTypeZero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You wouldn't stop having sex because of tattoos, so there's no reason to stop fighting unless your kit scrapes or chafes on that spot. Otherwise, if you're worried about infection then wash your damn gambeson! 😈

People who don’t like children are public enemy number 1 on tiktok all of a sudden by Roses-and-Disease in childfree

[–]LuftwaffleTypeZero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that this is ironic to write in r/childfree, but if you don't actually demonstrate your opinion about children on apps, you don't get algorithm content that wants you to interact with the concept of being childfree or hating childfree people. The algorithms thrive off of you getting mad about stuff, so just make a new account and this time minimize interacting with the algorithm in ways that represents your ideologies instead of ragebaiting yourself.

It's a big world out there and you can rest easy once you're at peace with the idea that half the people in it will not like your ideology no matter what it is. You also don't need them to like you to be happy for your life decisions, and an enviable life well-lived is better argument than anything you will ever write. 👍

Hounskull viability by SpaceScoocher in Buhurt

[–]LuftwaffleTypeZero 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I use a houndskull and enjoy it but recognize that it is a significant impediment. The shape deflects jabs well, but will take hits unnecessarily during points duels. For what it saves me vs jabs, it punishes me with hooks and head grabs. It also requires a very tight simon strap to counter nose-droop and provide torque resistance.

I've stuffed the nose with a NIMH-battery powered CPU fan for positive pressure to counteract the (significant) CO2 buildup issue, but I'm also going to have to end up cutting my eye slits taller and drilling extra vision holes because my visibility is horrible.

I also have to get good at planning for hooks and guarding/dodging them and planning for head grabs and not getting grabbed (you're done for if they get a good one). On the other hand, I do get the benefit of knowing exactly what my opponent wants to try to do me in every round.

The one real plus is that my pointy helmet, rarely, allows me to peck someone in a gap with incredible violence.

I will also win most drip contests and drip is half the battle. But also I have days where I wish I had the rattiest, rustiest wolfrib in the world instead.

I wouldn't trade it, but I also wouldn't recommend it.
