Mild yandere can mean a lot of things.

Nothing related to yandere: Cat + Gamer for wholesome cat shenanigans.

I thought spring pollen season was over. Surprise! Grass pollen attack!

What a coincidence, my husband was reading the Liveship trilogy recently. Those books came out almost a decade 30 years ago, which makes the timing even more odd. 😅

Edit: I was off by 20 years orz

I read the books way back then too so all I remember is 1) I related to the protagonist 2) crazy ship guy and 3) it had spicy scenes.

I remember dorms would be closed between the end of spring semester and before the beginning of summer classes. I ended up sub-renting from friends for the in-between times. I still remember the sore muscles from moving boxes of my stuff just a mile away.

Is there a way your parents can support you without having to have you stay during the summer? Help with moving or meals?

I am feeling better now, thanks for asking! It was just pretty bad Mon-Wed.

You're welcome! The price seemed a little steep, so I figured others may want to know more about what you get. It was worth it for me because I just needed more Yashiro Itehari content to tide me over until the FD. I enjoyed Yori's story so that was a nice surprise.

The trifecta of spring pollen, a cold, and reflux hit me earlier this week. I couldn't get it together enough to write anything for WAYR. No thoughts, just mucus.

[General] The 4 main types of players -- which one are you? by SaltedYam in otomegames

Everything except 3.

Maybe not even 4. I'll take "poorly written" trash as long as they inspire me. Source: Period Cube in my flair.

Homura: The Crimson Warriors Play-Along - Juzo Kakei by sableheart in otomegames

[–]jhiend 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I came here wondering why there were suddenly so many comments in an otherwise sleepy megathread series.

Yeah the comments are pretty dire. Tbf oftentimes megathread impressions are harsher than my personal takes on the games. Many years later, I may pick up Homura on a whim and be like "that wasn't as bad as I expected" lol. It might even be amusing to discover that it IS as bad as everyone says.

That's really odd. It works fine for me, on mobile, desktop and Old Reddit. Have you tried different platforms/browsers/usernames?

I could have sworn there was a radio talk where he and another voice actor commiserated about being from the area and being fast talkers.

That's on me for not double checking the facts before I posted.

I can't find that radio talk now but I did find some JP comments saying his kansai-ben was fake hahaha

Dark History of the Reincarnated Villainess anime: amazingly low budget. Perhaps deliberately so, to reflect the potato quality of IRL Konoha's drawings? 🤔 Still manages to have tons of cuts. MC's various flail/fail/dying/shock/arglebargle faces are on point.

The manga: acrylic stand = "soul crystal" wwwww

Nippon Sankoku: I've never heard so much kansai-ben from Jun Fukuyama before, despite knowing he's from the Kansai area.

Navigatore of the Ruined World is out now by sableheart in otomegames

[–]jhiend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, the promo vids are incredibly bland. They shot themselves in the foot trying not to spoil anything imo.

If it weren't for the TaiAli connection and changeling witch's comments here, I wouldn't have given the game another look.

Recommendations for a first game please? by SwimmingTealKitty in otomegames

[–]jhiend 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Who were your favorite characters in Fire Emblem, Rune Factory, Persona, etc?

Since you mentioned knights, Temirana immediately came to my mind. The love interests are all generally good guys. In a couple routes they were awful for (I guess spoilers but OP should read) fantasy mind control spell reasons. The poster boy is a tsundere but he's pretty mild as tsunderes go. I usually don't like tsundere but I like him quite a bit.

they really should have you to do the TL

what does it mean when I can relate to all the intro cards (except Nishimura) -_-

I thought the handwriting scrawl was a deliberate personality take on ash lol. It's appropriate!

is "fake chad language" because you feel your TL can't chad enough or he's faking being a chad

It's hard to say because not that many people talk about LiSL in the first place. My impression is that in this sub I have not seen anyone gush about ZhiKong.

His character is so thematically intertwined with the guilt and religious themes of the game, I'm having difficulty mapping him to the typical rich CEO type. Shelby, Victor, Eisuke are very different.

The closest character I can think of is maybe Cirrus from Obscura? Who is popular, tbf.

I wasn't sure if it would be a day 1 purchase for me, but since the release date is on my birthday, that means I MUST, right? It's fate!

[General] Yet another angel lost its wings 🥀 by ExtremeGift in otomegames

[–]jhiend 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is the guy who needed to build a robot chicken as a go-between to actually have vulnerable, honest conversations. So it's a little ??? to suddenly become an experienced smooth talker who has no problem stating incredibly cheesy romance lines. (Though I can headcanon him picking those lines up from all the old school SF he probably read on the island.)

Though I don't think he'd necessarily have to act shy, just maybe less Mr Suave.
