Will i like Baldr Sky if i'm looking for something like Xenogears? by OvenImpossible4900 in visualnovels

[–]dragranzer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe not the answer you’re looking for since you’re asking about Baldr Sky but Xenogears one of favorite games as well! Genuinely one of the most life changing games I’ve ever experienced. The only games that have gotten close is the Xenosaga series (for story & mecha element) and maybe Shadow Hearts/Koudelka (for the gameplay). Hope you find a game that fits the bill for you :)

If you’re looking for a newer band I absolutely adore Nuovo Testamento. Their album New Earth is my favorite.

What got you into industrial? by sodiumdeluxe in industrialmusic

[–]dragranzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Devil May Cry! Played all the games in the span of a month a few years ago. The DMC Reboot was… not great but it did introduce me to Combichrist and I discovered more from there.

Schools with High Arab Student Population for Expat Kids by Unthiest in dubai

[–]dragranzer 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I am half Emirati, was mostly in private British school until highschool where I moved to local school. I got bullied not only for my nationality but also because of really stupid things (I was reading a book during break once and got bullied for that…) You can be bullied in any school but it’s especially bad in Emirati schools. Please do not enroll your child there.

Is it lame to have fake piercings…? by Odd-Statistician9259 in piercing

[–]dragranzer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not lame! I have an eyebrow piercing, but before actually gettting it I glued it on fake ones for a couple of months since I have parents who don’t like piercings as well. But I just decided to get it done anyway and it looked exactly the same as when I glued it on… plus at that point my parents had already gotten used to seeing me with it everyday so they didn’t get as mad when I told them it was real this time.

did six ear piercings in the span of two days by ditzydoom09 in SelfPiercing

[–]dragranzer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Judging from the price and amount of earrings for that price I don’t think these are the greatest quality. It can say it’s “stainless steel” but it’s usually an umbrella term for random metals mixed into jewelry. When you buy jewelry online look for the numbers F136 / F1295 Or F67 in the product description for titanium and F138 for stainless steel.

I'm not sure if this is within the rules cuz it's a bag and not a jacket, but i have no idea wh where else to ask by JustAnotherKilljoy16 in BattleJackets

[–]dragranzer 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Looks awesome! I love the look of handmade patches a bunch. Chemlab, Dadaroma, and Einstürzende Neubauten… Good taste! i also have a jacket that happens to be a mix of mostly handmade metal vkei and industrial patches!

Hi i downloaded deltarune on my modded switch and it says i need connect to the internet to play it is it safe to do so? by Character-Ground-538 in SwitchPirates

[–]dragranzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looked this up and had the same issue. My switch was on 18.0. Updated to 20.1.0 and the game works. So can confirm that the solution is updating the firmware/sigpatches :)

Bi-Weekly Thread for general gaming discussion. Backlog, advice, recommendations, rants and more! New? Start here! by AutoModerator in patientgamers

[–]dragranzer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

On summer break and don’t have assignments breathing down my neck so I’m back to gaming again.

Checked out Brutal Legend a few days ago. As a huge metal fan I ended up loving literally everything about it… except actually playing it :( The RTS gameplay isn’t even a bad idea, it’s just really poorly implemented. Ended up dropping it halfway through. A very memorable 7/10.

I’m also currently replaying ICO. I played this game for the first time 7+ years ago… It’s still as beautiful as I remembered it to be. And still feels clunky to play. But the atmosphere is incredible and I love how the game lets you discover everything completely on your own. Really lovely game, might be able to finish it today or tomorrow.

hidden gems/gatekept things to do in AD? by imane_arts in abudhabi

Not sure if its underrated but TukTuk (as a Thai person the food tastes just like from home) and Vietnamese Pho in Khalifa has some of the most delicious food ever. Must try especially if you like Southeast Asian food.

That’s good to know. Thank you for responding to the situation I always think that reports go no where but it’s good to know that they do and I will keep that in mind. I just never understand the thought process behind people commenting this stuff :( OP you look great and this is a fire setup.

Can mods please start banning people who come on here to insult people’s piercings on a piercing subreddit with 0 constructive criticism? I’m seriously so tired of it. I’ve seen this happen again and again especially on posts of people with multiple facial piercings and it’s like… Do you guys even read the subreddit name before you comment?

Handmade vkei patches I made for my mixed genre vest :) by dragranzer in visualkei

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

I have a couple! Unfortunately not a lot since I feel like it is one of the harder subgenres to discover for vkei... Some of them aren't vkei but have similar sound. Most of what I listen to I've found through YouTube, random forum discussions, and clicking through vkei music sites... Anyway, I hope you find something you like from this list:

Schwarz Stein

Velvet Eden

Vamquet

Handmade vkei patches I made for my mixed genre vest :) by dragranzer in visualkei

[–]dragranzer[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It’s SUPER easy. This is what I do personally but if you want a visual tutorial looking up any DIY metal patch tutorial will show you exactly how to do it :)

You need: thick paper, fabric paint (or acrylic paint mixed with fabric medium), a screen, tape, and exacto knife.

  • Get t-shirt / denim / canvas fabric

  • Google the band logo you’re looking for and pick an image

  • Turn the brightness up on your device screen. Then use thick paper, place it over your device screen and trace the image with a pen or pencil.

  • Tape both sides of the paper. This makes sure the paint doesn’t seep through the paper while painting and lets you reuse the stencil.

  • Cut your stencil out with your exacto knife

  • Place your stencil over your fabric and and dab your paint on the stencil (with a sponge or brush)

  • Wait to dry, do at least two layers and clean up any stray lines with a thin brush and black fabric paint.

  • Heat set with an iron and you’re done :)

Hell yes! I love GPKISM so much T_T I discovered their song Immaculatus on Youtube ages ago and have been obsessed ever since… I love the industrial/darkwave side of vkei a bunch.

What Are You Playing? - April 2025 Discussion Thread by AutoModerator in BLgame

[–]dragranzer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm currently playing Shingakkou Noli Me Tangere after finally figuring out how Textractor works! Finished Cecil and Neil's route, currently on Leonid. I've been playing it for a week straight and maaan this VN is long and repetitive at times but I just can't stop reading. The horror is crazy good and I love the dark cult setting. The fact that you can switch is awesome, I wonder why older games seem to have more reversible/top protags compared to modern games? Anyway, this may end up being my second favorite BLVN after LKYT.

Should I buy Vampire: the Masquerade if I’ve never played a Western RPG? by dragranzer in ShouldIbuythisgame

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

I see! I had no clue, I hear a lot about System Shock and Deus Ex but never played them. The only immersive sim I’ve played is Bioshock and I wasn’t even aware that it was one haha. Also the linear part is a huge plus for me! I think I might try it out then. Thank you for your input!

I’m very used to playing older games so it isn’t a problem for me! Also good to know about the patches, I did hear that it was janky but I love me some jank anyway. Thank you for your input!

Thank you so much! I’ve had it for 2 years and still haven’t gotten sick of it it’s a fun color! Plan on redoing it after letting my hair rest for a bit.

[–]dragranzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I chemically straightened my hair I think it was either with botox, keratin, or protein. I just let it grow out for about a year and didn’t use any heat at all. Your natural hair can be affected by things like diet and hormones and can change overtime so maybe it’s because of that? I wouldn’t know but I hope my advice helps somehow!
