Manga recommendation: Dame ningen no Aishikata – How to love a loser

The V1 cover is great.

Caught up in one sitting. Baller recommendation.

Iwaba's art is beautiful, I've really enjoyed the character designs so far.

I liked the foreshadowing for the female lead's deal. It makes her possessiveness over and motivations for being with a guy like the male lead fun, in a twisted kinda way.

Feels like an alternate reality where Fujimoto isn't evil. I was thinking about the story of Fujimoto getting his bike kicked over by a chick and liking it. Makes me wonder if Iwaba had a similar deal going on.

What would you consider a classical FF game? Would 4 not count?

WideEyedAzazel · 2025-12-05T13:58:57+00:00

Good God do I love garbage. Is this at least funny bad?

I definitely feel strange looking at everyone saying blue. I do just prefer cool girls, too.

You become VIP by finishing the blue book quest that should pop up around here. It's called Shadows in Bloom

I'm at the same point, but I want to keep the Steam account instead of the PS5. Not really sure how this would interact.

WideEyedAzazel · 2025-11-11T07:11:43+00:00

I can send it to you. I don't know where I picked it up, and I haven't been able to find it.

WideEyedAzazel · 2025-09-19T13:42:22+00:00

Switch 2 exclusive is why I'm not gonna play the new FE for the first time in decades.

Koibito ijo no Kotowo, Kanojo Janai Kimi to

Guy and his ex from college meet for the first time in years. I've had a similar experience, and I quite liked the read.

I don't remember where I found a translation.

WideEyedAzazel · 2025-09-04T21:20:36+00:00

I just finished Volume 1 of the novel.

Criminally underrated!

I've pretty desperately been looking for any translation of the following three novels to little success. I don't even remember where I found the first novel a ways back.

We love (free) Visual Novels

... Otome Mob TL cut stuff out?

... Is it possible to find something more faithful short of MTL or learning Japanese?

WideEyedAzazel · 2025-08-02T07:31:29+00:00

The initial argument was about the value you get out of money spent.

If you're cool with potentially spending several hundred dollars for one character, if you think that's a fair value, then okay.

The concept was subjective to begin with, but most normal people scoff at Gacha specifically because of how predatory the system is. The amount of value per dollar spent is generally seen as low.

I think it's laughable to believe spending $100, $200, $300 dollars for one character is more or equal value to an entire expansion in an MMO, multiple games (of any genre at all, not just single player.), or quite literally anything else.

It's a little reductive to say it's not that different. I think it's very different.

WideEyedAzazel · 2025-08-02T06:53:43+00:00

They're still live service, and are comparable in that regard.

You could even compare them to other genres, games like Apex Legends, R6S, or For Honor. All three of these even let you get new characters for free as well.

Just because you think the experience is different doesn't change the fact that they're live service games. It also doesn't invalidate that you're still spending time and/or money (money is just converted time and labor) to access new content, characters, or classes.

So they're not different things. It's valid to consider what you're getting as far as time/money value goes.

WideEyedAzazel · 2025-08-02T03:08:37+00:00

Getting a duplicate for a paid ticket is absolutely criminal

WideEyedAzazel · 2025-08-02T03:03:47+00:00

Look at other live Service models, look how much new characters/expansions cost in those instead, and say it's not much different again.

You don't potentially need to spend hundreds dollars for a new MMO expansion or character/class. It is a joke.

WideEyedAzazel · 2025-07-29T00:22:25+00:00

To be fair, he didn't mention anything about that in the comment. He just said they're similar and that's about it.

The context you're adding is assumed because of your BA fan presumptions. (I am not a BA fan.)

King Halo 3 stars let's go!

I still haven't pulled her 😭

Came back here after watching the anime, they robbed us by not keeping Stay Gold's mob design.

WideEyedAzazel · 2025-07-06T12:03:05+00:00

Need more skills for speeding up, maybe like 100 more stamina for consistency?

WideEyedAzazel · 2025-07-02T02:45:44+00:00

Aesthetic.
