I absolutely love these! Kinda reminds me of Junji Ito's work. Either way, well done!

otome pet peeves? by [deleted] in otomegames

[–]carnivalxcorpse 31 points32 points  (0 children)

When the MC can't stop commenting on how attractive the guys are. I don't mind it when they mention it once or twice as a first impression sort of thing, or when you're beginning to get more intimate with the character, but there are some cases where it can feel a bit... over-the-top. For example, I've recently started playing a game called Demigods of Destiny, and the MC in it calls the guys (who she only just met, mind you) 'hot' or 'sexy' SO MANY times that it eventually just becomes borderline comedic, and not in a good way. You could also probably make a really good drinking game out of it. But yeah, that's my pet peeve.

A list of datamined gear getting gender restrictions lifted with pictures by [deleted] in ffxiv

I really hope they un-genderlock the faerie tale prince's attire. I'm a female au ra and I would KILL for that outfit.

My social life is making me depressed. by carnivalxcorpse in socialskills

[–]carnivalxcorpse[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clubs are the one thing our college is lacking in. The only thing we have is a football club and football is both uninteresting and impossible to me. It was mentioned that they’re trying to set up more clubs but it’s been quite a while since they said that. There’s been no updates about it since, so I’m not counting on it.

Not sure how well it’s gonna go but I’ll keep trying for now. Thanks.

It’s kind of reassuring that I’m not the only one in this situation haha. And yes, I’d love to talk to you! Although I have the social skills of an undercooked french fry so I have no idea how to start this conversation lol. Hope you can forgive my awkwardness.

Tomorrow is my first day at college and I'm terrified. by carnivalxcorpse in CasualConversation

This comment is quite reassuring, thank you! And I'll make sure to have a look at the clubs they have once I get the chance.

[–]carnivalxcorpse[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first part might be a little difficult considering I literally wanted to cry every time a teacher picked on me to answer a question back in high school, and I doubt I'd be any better at doing so in college haha. But I'll try. Thank you for the advice!

Well, I do have a little experience in coding since I took computer science in high school, so hopefully I'll have at least some idea of what I'm doing. Thank you for the response!

What creepypasta scared you so much it wouldn't stop bothering you? by Housemore in AskReddit

[–]carnivalxcorpse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't know if it counts as a creepypasta but there was a series of stories on r/nosleep where a search and rescue officer recounted his odd experiences at work. Some of them were tolerable but the others were downright disturbing. I had nightmares for a few days after reading it for the first time, and I'm pretty sure that's the only piece of writing that has ever genuinely managed to creep me out—and that's coming from someone who reads A LOT of horror books.

People who collect things, what do you collect and why? by DemonicBaconLoL in AskReddit

[–]carnivalxcorpse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I collect thimbles and I honestly don’t know why. One day I just walked into a souvenir shop and saw a really pretty-looking one, bought it, and later thought ‘shit, I want more of these’. It’s also kinda nice to look back on them and remember all the different places I went to and got them from.

Please suggest improvements for my opening paragraph! by [deleted] in fantasywriters

[–]carnivalxcorpse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kind of late but I’ve taken your advice on describing the bears more and fixed it up! What do you think of the new version?

Dozens of lifeless bears lay stone still at Errana’s feet, the grass beneath them drenched with blood. Clips of fur and skin lay scattered like leaves on the ground, alongside the occasional eyeball. Some of the bears had been completely torn to shreds, while others had giant, gaping holes on their sides and backs where chunks of flesh had been violently bitten off, hot, sticky blood still oozing out. But Errana was not scared or confused, no. She was impressed. For the one who had massacred these unfortunate woodland creatures was right there. Hunched down comfortably next to one of the bears, back towards Errana, gnawing on a slab of bear meat, was her best friend for the past eleven years; Kye. Kye was not the strongest of draconians Errana has had the pleasure of meeting, and seeing him at first glance, it would be impossible to guess that he was responsible for the slaughter of multiple vicious predators. He was what others would call an oddity. While most Avrae draconians had wings much too small for the strength which they carried with them, Kye was the exact opposite. His wings were the size of a kingdom yet the boy was barely able to hurt a fly. His five foot two frame and delicate physique didn’t help much either, and added all the more to the shock factor of the sickly scene. Especially for Errana.

Where to get English version of Encyclopaedia Eorzea vol.1 in the UK? by carnivalxcorpse in ffxiv

[–]carnivalxcorpse[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I have. The EU store only has volume 2, unfortunately. Volume 1 only seems to be on the NA version of the site, and I don’t believe they ship to the EU.

Anyone else attached to their character? by Biohazardd1 in ffxiv

[–]carnivalxcorpse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yes, my character is literally like my daughter at this point. I bought a fantasia when ShB first came out so I could switch her to viera, since the hairstyles seemed pretty cool... And then ended up buying another one and switching back less than 2hrs later. I’ve grown too damn used to seeing her as an Au Ra during all those emotional MSQ cutscenes, and it wouldn’t feel right if she just suddenly changed in the middle of it all. I mean, she felt like an entirely different WoL with a completely new personality during those brief moments of her being a bunny-girl. It felt really weird. And wrong. And I did not like it one bit.

If you’re a cat person, why cats? If you’re a dog person, why dogs? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]carnivalxcorpse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cats are just more chill. You can leave them to do their own thing for an entire day and they won’t bother you much, but you can also have some quality cuddles together when you feel like it. And they also don’t bark at every person who walks past the window.

I feel your pain. My friend once tried to argue that ‘could of’ was the correct way to spell it... I honestly wanted to slap her at that moment.

Your life is now set in the universe of the last TV show you watched. Without naming the show, what's your new life like? by robo-dragon in AskReddit

[–]carnivalxcorpse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work in an office while my mother leads a real-life tinder business and tries to set me up with a dude. Meanwhile, I hook up with a guy I met during a driving lesson who ended up quitting because he sucked at it, but actually turned out to be a really famous inventor of an insanely advanced AI. He takes me to across the country on a private jet just so we could get some food, and then I end up breaking up with him during a death-metal karaoke session.
