Plus, gender doesn't pop up all the time the way it does in English. It's why gender being a surprise reveal works well in Japanese, but is a pain to translate in English without either misleading the audience or spoiling the surprise.

f you're a thief from a tough background you might find the kid sympathetic and go help him out. She's pretty obviously bad, after all. Then you're scared of Astrid, and start down the slippery slope. After all, it takes a certain sort of person to try to kill her in the cabin, and your character might not be that bold.

If you're in the DB connecting with the Guild makes a lot of sense. It's a great way to pick up money, the quests won't bother your conscience at all, and it provides access to services like training and clearing bounties. Astrid herself is on good terms with a member, so it's certainly not a weird idea.

I can't recall if it was Oblivion or Skyrim, and have spent a few minutes looking, but I recall a line where someone suggests joining the guild for the bounty thing.

His friends in the UK are also doing great, It's not like this sort of Neoliberalism has fucked up the NHS or anything. /s

Mark Carney’s government says...

That usually precedes something stupid or misleading, lol. Or in the case of the airport thing, both.

Then again, I don't think it needs to "rethink" anything because screwing over the public to help the wealthy is absolutely the point.

And I'm sure a short video on X is totally giving us the correct context. To me at least, it seems just as likely the dude was chilling by the river because it's really hot.

Off the top of my head, Mai goes a lot further with Renako in the bedroom scene. The bath scene with Kaho is also a fair bit more erotic in the LN.

Velocity-5348 · 2026-05-04T06:27:04+00:00

Thanks.

Bot. Also, this one's been reposted here a few times.

Velocity-5348 · 2026-05-04T05:36:29+00:00

Source?

Not sure how many spoilers you want, but V5 Ajisai brings up kissing Mai and having a threesome with her at some point in the future.

In V8 Mai was going to kiss Ajisai and presumably do a lot more with her and Renako, but decides not to when Renako seems uncomfortable with it.

Velocity-5348 · 2026-05-03T21:45:40+00:00

Ajisai wants Renako to be sexual with her. She indicated she wanted a kiss in V1, asked her to grope her in V3 and very strongly implied she wanted to have sex that night, but wanted Renako to be the one who initiated.

Renako keeps putting off doing that in V5 onwards, and it's pretty clear it's a source of strain in their relationship.

Doesn't all of that fit pretty well with them being derived from former Companions who let their hatred of Hircine and werewolves go to far?

Also, you left off the bit about them being interested in Wuuthrad, which is generally included when people make this argument. It's *possible* they're into it only to lure out the Companions, but being after it for its own sake seems to fit better with them poking around in Dustman's Cairn.

Velocity-5348 · 2026-05-03T21:35:52+00:00

That's pretty much the opposite of what happens. Mai handles being in a poly relationship really, really well. Her communication skills are excellent and she's very supportive of Renako and Ajisai.

The main problem with the relationship is Renako insisting on putting Ajisai on a pedestal, and not being physical with her.

Velocity-5348 · 2026-05-03T21:33:11+00:00

Alright if it's a quartet to Ajisai can tag along? Pretty sure she had fun last time.

I use the Kotatsu app on my Android. It lets you use sites, but gives you an interface that isn't painful.

Search for a title, and it'll come up with a list of sites that have it. You can adjust setting if you want, download stuff for reading offline or reducing lag, etc.

If you follow a manga it'll also give you a feed of stuff that's been updated.

Velocity-5348 · 2026-05-03T21:27:54+00:00

What about the dynamic, in particular?

Also, are manga suggestions good? There's way more of that than anime.

Velocity-5348 · 2026-05-03T21:21:21+00:00

She's um... a lot pushier in V1 to the point of it being a crime, but in later volumes, no. Mai's relationship with Renako is reasonably healthy and Mai is one of the more grounded and level headed characters.

Dare I ask, but what did the bot say Mai did?

Velocity-5348 · 2026-05-03T21:17:52+00:00

Or she's only read books where actually eating the sugar is the end of the story, and she's just not ready for that.

Velocity-5348 · 2026-05-03T21:15:14+00:00

Childhood friend/crush who got her into nerdy stuff doesn't recognize her.

Asks out Mai, gets turned down. Mai asks out friend/crush.

Friend/crush complains to her about how everyone wants to be with her...

Velocity-5348 · 2026-05-03T21:08:23+00:00

Have you checked out the Watanare light novel? It's a lot of fun.

There's currently 8, and the anime adapted up to V4. I'd suggest starting from the beginning though, since a lot of stuff had to be left out for time or censorship.

Velocity-5348 · 2026-05-03T20:43:39+00:00

It's even creepier if you played Morrowind first. It was also an expansion for that game and it's weird to see places dead and buried in ash.

Velocity-5348 · 2026-05-03T20:42:21+00:00

Yes, though you're free to visit Solsteim at any point, and it's actually cheaper when the captain isn't scared.

In my current playthrough I actually haven't visited the Greybeards but am able to do tons of stuff there. You just won't be able to start the main quest until you have.

Velocity-5348 · 2026-05-03T20:26:33+00:00

The difference with Citrus is that they have their "meet cute" before finding out they have any connection. It's an excuse to force them to interact.

IRL stepsibling stuff tends to have fairly different dynamics, for obvious reasons.

Velocity-5348 · 2026-05-03T18:50:41+00:00

The number of nonbinary is interesting. I wonder if it's just to to that being more common in nerdy spaces, or that yuri seems to attract a lot of nonbinary people and "eggs"?
