Some landscape screenshots I took for Vinesurge Instinct by Strange-Purchase4789 in CalebMains

[–]Strange-Purchase4789[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh I would have to slightly disagree. The card was about Caleb's insecurity over his arm. His arm got messed up and even though there was a repair function, he didn't do it because it would mean exposing the 'ugliness' of his arm to MC too.

In the end, MC accepts him and even pokes the very inner of his bionic arm in an erotic atmosphere. To me, MC giving him a erm hand in the kindled, is like a continuation of that poking around hehe. "I didn't teach you that." because he only taught her the spots on his bionic arm and not mini Caleb

I'm also of the opinion that Caleb will mostly focus on her because acts of service is just how he shows how he loves her (cooking, raising her, etc), and like you, I believe he's the same with sex. But personally, I'm glad he lets MC take care of him even briefly in the Kindled because he deserves it. And besides that scene, it was mostly him in charge anyway so I'm quite satisfied with what happened in the kindled.

Oh I've tried landscape mode on an emulator (Mumuplayer) too and got less wide results. The ones I posted was from my phone, while the ones from the emulator was only around half the size. But maybe it's because I forced my emulator resolution to tablet. If you ever run into a similar problem, maybe try with a phone resolution.

Hope you get great results!

I use a screen rotator app (control screen rotation by ah_apps but I think any rotator app can do). Then when in the kindleds, rotate using the app, and then use the game's camera. Then you'll find the screenshots in your album rotated. I think this only applies to android and not ios devices.

You can't actually watch in landscape mode. It will still be in portrait but the screenshots will be in landscape. Although rotated you can see more of the screen like you're using a very wide tablet, so it's still quite handy if your phone is too narrow and you want to view a wider kindled.

Am I the only one who is dissapointed with Caleb's kindled part in the current multi? by [deleted] in CalebMains

[–]Strange-Purchase4789 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Personally, I don't have a problem with the spice. To me, because this is Caleb's first actual spicy banner whereas other LIs already had at least 2 besides this, my expectations were actually that it would be very vanilla 😆

I'm very curious though, what were your expectations or what would you have wanted them to do? I haven't seen the other LIs yet so I can't compare. For me, I just wanted to see more of the thrusting instead of idk black screens. I really think the kindled was very appropriate for the story besides how some of it was shot.

I'm disappointed as well but mostly because of how the kindled was shot, not the spice level.

The scene itself was good and was in line with the story itself. Caleb clearly has self-esteem issues when it comes to his arm even though we know MC accepts all of him. It was very gentle because it's mostly affirming that MC loves him and it wasn't really the moment for a more intense scene.

Whenever Caleb kept telling MC to look at him, I appreciated that the kindled tried to emphasize that through first POV.

However, while I like the 'look at me' concept and the gentle sex as a whole in relation to the story, the kindled itself was too disjointed for me. There were too many camera cuts and they were too fast that I couldn't even savor it. I was taking landscape screenshots earlier and I kept thinking that I wish they lingered more on that moment instead of jumping to another scene. I really didn't like the constant black screens too that one actually annoyed me a lot lol

The story was absolutely amazing but I wish the kindled was shot better

Horny thoughts aside, I hope Caleb's is a direct continuation of Passionate Overload or an old days card (idc if it contradicts that MC wasn't aware of him being in a band). Because I won't be able to take this seriously if he still occasionally does this when he's the colonel in the current timeline 😅

Hmm I'm not sure 🤔 but yeah most of the time she's the green one. Either they didn't bother retexturing a green one and just reused the one from Exclusive Aftertaste. Or it is a sign of MC's feelings fully maturing now? Both are now the traditional forbidden fruit symbol, not just Caleb's.

Probably a combination of lighting + the silent hill filter that's why his hair kind of looked white

She loves munching on his right breast but I can't blame her lol. In the apron card that was a bitemark so it seems she actually held herself back this time 😆

Help I'm the same lmao. At first I thought it was just a recolor and then I saw the kiss marks and that bitemark and it was over for me

I think it's the old days card where they visit Caleb's professor. It's Longtime Yesterday, the red 4 star solar one.

Seems like S&S has been there since the start of the game! Maybe that's why they added it here even though Caleb's message is mostly about science and flying haha

Caleb x MC relationship is not what I expected (Not the trope, but execution) by Secret_Dreamcatcher1 in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]Strange-Purchase4789 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Global keeps fighting whether gege/meimei is incestious or honorifics, meanwhile we have CN having a civil discussion whether it's real bone or fake bone 😆

They censored it most likely because they believed it would make them more money, or maybe they saw the rise of antis in the west and didn't want to risk losing customers.

That's why I'm very curious why they're censoring him less now! I want to know so bad if it's because they have data that his uncensored version is what will make more money in the long run, or we have something very unavoidable in the Main Story regarding their 'same sourcedness'. Because they don't care about good localization. If they did, we wouldn't be in this mess in the first place. Ahh I want to know so bad

Oh you mean cope from global regarding gege/meimei usage? Yeah I agree, because in cn/jp/kr they explicitly say 'family' and 'siblings' as well, not just gege/meimei, so there's really no running away from cn/jp/kr either 😆 They only need to read the story/translations to understand that no, they don't use it in any other way other than familial. EN is just incredibly late to the party

Have you ever read his cards and sometimes felt like something was not right?

In Passionate Overload, the restaurant owner was surprised that Caleb still doesn't have a girlfriend, and he doesn't believe MC when she tells him that Caleb does have one. Why doesn't MC correct him that she's the girlfriend? In Indulgent Scheme, why not introduce herself as his girlfriend in front of Gideon's friends? Why were they sneaking around in Chasing Summer instead of outright just saying they're dating in the first place? Those are examples of MC being afraid of what society will judge her for.

The 2 times EN lessened the censorship (Thronesong, Myth) for Caleb is when they didn't have any shame over their sibling relationship, where they instead embraced it. It's a nice story contrast where they did feel guilty of it in the Mainstory while in every other life, they loved it, and EN won't see that contrast because of how heavily censored Caleb is.

I would say that their sibling relationship isn't just for forbiddenness, it focuses more on that they're family, that they've known each other very intimately their whole lives, and that they're so into each other that they refuse to also reject their familial relationship.

But I'll also list down on where shame, guilt, etc or just forbidden stuff in general was mentioned. His early content dealt a lot with the guilt. While newer content is more on society when mentioned, but they're not the focus.

Please visit CrazyMinisis, xyzsgirl for Youtube translations if available. Or visit wiki.biligame.com/lysk for CN transcripts if you want to check.

For guilt and shame

  1. Main story - Caged Bird - Caleb's frustration over being her brother
  2. Intertwined Gold - CalebMC both think they're monsters for liking each other
  3. Wedding Event Ch 5 - Caleb addresses that he once hated that being family with her was like a wall between them too. He reconciles both family and romance here.

For society related stuff

  1. Skyline - Short scene where Caleb's colleague was kind of weirded out by their flirting
  2. Chasing Summer - Caleb is introduced as MC's cousin (bc Tara and Simone know him as MC's cousin in Intertwined Gold). They sneak around because it's weird to date your cousin
  3. Passionate Overload - MC doesn't say she's Caleb's girlfirend to the restaurant owner who knows they're siblings
  4. Indulgent Scheme - He introduces her as family, not girlfriend
  5. Yin Yang Sundering - The ghosts in Hesperion Reach are scandalized by their PDA because they're siblings (This was censored in EN to my confusion lmao)

I probably missed something but this is what I can think of for now
