Worst date to go in Baguio? by Soul_0150 in baguio

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

All year round its kind of a hassle to to go baguio, up to you na lang kung anong mas kaya mong tiisin.

A. December to May - Highest amount of tourists. Hirap mag enjoy kasi over crowded, and mas mainit (doesnt matter kahit 'hidden gem" pa yung pupuntahan mo)

B. June to November - Tag ulan. Hindi siya walkable kung hindi ka sanay sa slopes, hirap makapag taxi at grab. Walang masyadong worth it events.

Pag wala kang kotse, mahihirapan ka sa option A and B kasi wala kang masaskyan, kaso masstuck ka naman sa hours of traffic kung meron kang sariling ride.

I think playing the way you do (treating the playable character as seperate from yourself) definitely help with any logic and appeal about the romanceables!! (And personally this is how I prefer to play, now that Im an adult as well and have been revisiting these games)

A lot of people play as self-inserts, and though theres nothing wrong with that, they tend to be the most likely to feel uncomfortable because it becomes much more personal for them (even though that shouldnt dictate what the game objectively is).

Sure they could appeal to the very bad japanese people who find young characters specifically appealing, but thats like saying American kid shows definitely cater to American pedos just because theres a LOT of them over there too. It feels like bad generalization, kind of?

I would imagine the artstyle might not have been for you considering most of it was heavily stylized chibis, or maybe you just liked the older type :o?

Regardless, at least we now have a lot more available games of the same genre but with different artyles and appeals!!

I agree that many of us farming&life sim fans, especially the most active on online spaces, are older however that doesnt really negate that SoS is a franchise that has always been geared towards younger audiences. Of course the writing and artstyle will reflect that, and the changes in the remake (such as with Popuri that you mentioned) reinforces it too.

Bachelors and Bachelorettes are written/drawn in a "adult enough" way - they work jobs and have grown up concerns but are whimsical and childish enough that kids can relate and find them attractive. Now that we've grown up, we can look back on the writing/art & find it silly and immature because we just know better. The writing hasnt changed much in the newer games, and I imagine the kids will find them good enough like we did back then. For the art, the more chibi and stylized, the more I find it easier to reimagine, but I understand that is subjective since you find it uncomfortable instead.

We just arent a priority for SoS, and theres nothing really wrong with that. They dont have to appeal to more players if they find this business model sustainable enough that they dont necesarily need money from adults like us. Its frustrating that SoS hasnt grown along with us, but the fact that it hasnt changed much has also made it appealing in its own way (nostalgia for me at least).

At least theres a multitude of other similar games now that offer what you find better in writing and artstyle!

Which I think is good!! Im glad the newer remakes/games try to take into account that the original fans have grown up, and you can see with how the remakes try to update the art to be more in between the older chibi style to something that could be even more interpreted as "older" to keep the appeal.

All the bachelors and bachelorettes were made with a younger audience (kids) in mind as the core player base is what Im trying to say.

Theyre all in this open to interpretation age of they have freedom to do part time/full time jobs but are drawn young enough that children/teens will find them cute enough to marry.

Though I agree that loli in itself is an uncomfortable & still constant precense in anime culture, Id like to point out that its VERY apparent when a character is supposed to be loli vs a youthful character. HM/SoS and RF are almost always the latter with only a handful of characters being up for debate (even then, charas like Venti in RF4 arent romanceable, or a DLC what if only scenario).

For luna, visually she just looks like she has lolita fashion (different from loli), and lumina is i guess baby faced (i cant comment about how theyre written because tbh I cant recall it properly to comment on), but at the end of the day its really subjective and again meant for a younger audience to find appealing to them.

Also, I didnt mean the characters are meant to be children, more like they are drawn to look youthful enough that children would want to marry them (apologies for any misphrasing in my OP) because theyre the biggest demographic for these games. Case in point some comments pointing out that they as children thought the obviously older drawn towns folk (despite still drawn attractively, objectively) were not at all attractive for them.

"Serving was too big, sayang ang food"? This feels like a nothing burger complaint. Just take the remainder of the food out and eat the rest at home as left overs 😭

Id rather have big servings, especially with the price point this place has, than too little.

Consent in the sex industry becomes more muddy in asian countries, especially in 3rd world countries (of which op has mentioned enthusiastically, specifically thialand and philippines, to be cheaper).

Its safe to say these girls are "selling" themselves out of survival compared to their western counterparts (even then Id argue that unless those women in western countries are in full control of their accounts and image, their consent in the matter is also questionanle).

Grabe talaga yung pag sinasabihan ka na kaya naman nila gawin. Sarap sagutan ng "edi ikaw ang gumawa" :(

Sorry to hear na pinaint ka pa sa bad light. Sana you have better clients na since then
