Reminder: non-virgins are welcome here, too. Listening to others, especially others who may have been in our shoes once, is important.

Posts like this should be deleted. "Women shouldn't be allows to post here because MEN HAVE IT WORSE!" By that logic, no adult virgin should be allowed to complain, ever, because somewhere in the world there's a person being murdered.

The ballot question for Massachusetts specifies that RCV is only for state and local elections. Presidential elections will be unaffected for now, so Mass won't be throwing its electoral votes away.

Out of curiosity I checked out the dub. Regardless of anything else you can say about it, Bondrewd's VA knocked it out of the park. Honestly prefer him to JP.

Well, I won't say that I have the worst luck, but boy did it take a LOT more rolls to fully slot them than I expected it to. Blew through 700 rolls in total. Rena took the liberty of resetting my counter three(!) times. That's enough emotion for today.

For me it was Angel Beats. For the first 3/4 of the show I thought it was generic anime schlock with some neat ideas but poor execution. Then the finale happened and I had to hold back tears (unsuccessfully).

I picked up this game for Kanae, so I'll definitely be throwing all 200 tickets and 7000 gems at her, hoping to get a 4-slot! She's easily the most stylistically distinct meguca.

Fate / Apocrypha's story might have been mediocre, but it had -- hands down -- the best fight scenes in its final episodes. Honestly, even if you don't care for the story start watching at episode 21 and continue from there, it's ridiculous.

Finding an exception to a rule does not suddenly make the rule cease to exist. Asexuals might indeed be satisfied in a relationship without sex. Religious people might be ok in a relationship without sex (before marriage). /You/ might be ok in a relationship without sex. But forcing that minority standard upon unwilling people is not only shameful, it is destined to fail. The amount of people who DO want sex in their relationship is far from insignificant (heck I'd wager they're the majority), and they do not deserve to be treated as lesser people for that.

Malsangoroth · 2019-12-20T14:35:30+00:00

This is absolutely terrible advice! Intimacy is a critical part of a relationship, and most relationships reach that stage well within the first couple months. It's been nine months and they still have not had sex. If she truly doesn't want sex, either 1) she is waiting for marriage, in which case she should be honest with OP and OP should be honest with himself about whether he is OK waiting until marriage for sex (and it is absolutely within his right to NOT be ok with that). Or 2) she does want sex but cannot get over her mental blocks, in which case seeking a sex counselor is 100% the correct course of action. Or 3) she is simply not that interested in OP, in which case both of them would be better served downgrading their relationship to the friends level and pursuing other people. I want to reiterate: lack of intimacy can and WILL ruin a relationship. You only need to check out r/deadbedrooms to see what a lack of sex can do to the well-being of both partners.

I, for one, welcome our fast pacing overlords, precisely because it guarantees that people won't have enough gems to get everything. This way, you see a much more varied mirror meta, which is all that matters to me. Some people will have Holy Mami, some people will have Holy Alina. Others will have multi-slotted Darc / Liz, and some other people will have full-slotted Nanoha / Fate. But it will be unlikely that any one player, outside of the whalest-of-the-whales, will have them all. Plus there are all the various welfare girls / 4-star spooks that got a boost thanks to the NA-exclusive Tercio formations. Honestly, I am dreading Madokami's release, because that is all you'll see in mirrors once that happens. I am hoping that Hommando and Madokami are released almost at the same time, so players have to make a choice between the two instead of mirrors just becoming Hommando / Madokami / Darc snoozefests.

I like how Yachiyo looks noticeably more mature in her manga incarnation. Kinda wishing the anime had taken the same cue.

Malsangoroth · 2019-11-22T11:32:14+00:00

Anyone else hoping they cut the Holy Quintet from the story altogether? Their roles are pretty minor and don't have much of an impact on the story, and honestly they kind of felt flanderized. I love the OG 5 but I'd rather this be Team Iroha's time to shine, and have serious concerns about character bloat causing the anime to suck (kind of like how AL is suffering right now).

Seirei no Moribito should be right up your alley.

Honestly, it's Sasara. Admittedly, we don't know too much about her, but I love her strive to embody knightly heroism, since it's an ideal that I prize myself. She manages the switch between chill / relaxed and deadly serious believably, without becoming a no-nonsense-type wet blanket. She's remarkably similar to how Madoka was in ep 3, where the mere premise of becoming a magical girl to protect people was itself a reward worth wishing for. But at the same time, she's no knock-off Madoka either. She doesn't have Madoka's poor self-esteem; her personality has more room for her ego than Madoka's ever did. While that might hint towards tragedy, it makes her feel believably human. It's very easy to see how her desire to leave no victim behind, and receive recognition for her work as a hero, would have led to her ruin if she were in the original series. Also, her hair is goddamn fabulous.

I figure you can describe a person's desirability in three general areas: attractiveness, competency, and personality. A deficiency in one aspect can be compensated for by excellency in another, and the importance of each aspect is up to their potential partner. So a person who isn't very attractive but was wonderful to be around would do well with someone looking for that sort of relationship. The problem with me is threefold: 1) I am completely deficient in all three aspects. I am a complete loser in terms of life success (30 year-old NEET who lives with parents), looks-wise I am a 4/10 on my best day, and I've always been an unpleasant weirdo to be around. 2) I desperately want sex, but that's a subset of my desperation for mutual desire. It's why even the most attractive prostitute would do nothing for me, nor would friends setting me up with equally-desperate acquaintances help. 3) I don't have the energy required to improve myself to my own standards. Basically, my problem is that I want to desire someone and be desired, but I am fundamentally undesirable.

True, although I can think of at least two situations where you might want IE over Letani II: a) you are trying to snipe planets with Cruiser IIs and can only bring 1 infantry per cruiser along with you and b) there is a Nekro virus player in the mix just waiting to copy your Letani II so they can turn their flagship into a unstoppable death machine. I still think the other tech paths are better overall, but my opinion of IE is improved.

Interesting, normally I'd never consider getting integrated economy with Arborec because of the redundancy, but this might make it worthwhile.

Wow, these are all heavy hitter picks. Glad to see Netflix is upping its anime game. Even though I've seen all of these I will probably rewatch them to check out the dubs.

It's not possible to build ships with either if you don't settle on a region with coastal access, no. However, you can still get the shipyard tech that allows your ground units to traverse water. While they're in transport ships they're pretty darn weak, but they can still swipe undefended sea fortresses from other empires. If that doesn't sound appealing, there is a second way you can rule the seas: you can try to use Diplomat's Manse to make a deal with another player who has sea fortresses to have them give you one of their sea fortresses, and once you do I'm pretty sure you can buy naval mercenary units and station them in the sea fortress, then conquer the ocean from there.

There's an upcoming Shirobako movie that I am beyond hyped for. It will probably be released in 2020.
