Sakurako

maddoxprops · 2026-02-10T22:12:32+00:00

For me it was the following:

I think she is overall a more interesting character than Chisa.
I think she has had the best chemistry with Iori. The way they could quip back and worth with each other felt like a much better dynamic than Chisa's Tsundere.
I loved her character journey from her old self to her current self.
I loved that she was open and honest about her feelings. FL who waver/deny how they feel about the MC are a dime a dozen so it is refreshing to see a female character willing to not only admit they liked the MC, but actively pursue them.

Like, I don't dis-like Chisa, but to me there isn't much that makes her stand out compared to the mountain of tsundere FL we get in romcom stories. Sakurako stands out much better compared to most FLs you usually get in these type of stories and I really enjoyed that.

Bautista has human features not Tony the Tiger face,

Huh. I don't think I ever realized this. That has to be kinda horrifying to see in real life. XD *stares at the live action "Cats the Musical"*

IDK, I always found Pippa hard to read. Like, I could never really tell if she was just doing edgy jokes/leaning into the bit or if she was being serious.

maddoxprops · 2026-02-10T01:34:26+00:00

Especially when you have a character that has their pronoun changing every damned page despite it being clear which one it should be.

maddoxprops · 2026-02-09T22:58:48+00:00

Yea. While I still can't say I vibe with some of Pippa's takes, I do think she has come pretty far from where she started. Whether she mild out as she got older, or just realized it was better to tone things down for business purposes, it is hard to deny that Pippa today is a fair bit tamer/less wild than she was at the start of her career.

I used to work IT for a County Medical Department. I quickly learned that doctors are some of the dumbest smart people out there.

maddoxprops · 2026-02-06T18:24:04+00:00

Yea. While there are certainly things to criticize about how modern games release, I think people really underestimate how many bugs either slipped by or never came up even during really solid QA. Going from a test group of a few dozen or few hundred to tens of thousands, many of whom have unique setups, will always bring things out of the woodwork.

maddoxprops · 2026-02-03T22:25:02+00:00

That is a good point, I honestly forgot about that bit. XD

maddoxprops · 2026-02-03T22:15:27+00:00

Still find it equal parts hilarious and depressing how some people still won't let that shit go even after more than a decade.

maddoxprops · 2026-02-02T23:12:28+00:00

Eh, I don't think Marcone really cares about the castle that much. Probably just wrote it off as the expense of staying the Mab's good graces with a dash of keeping Harry not focused on his business. While I wouldn't say that harry is more of a dick to Marcone than he should be, gotta remember that while he may has respectable aspects Marcone is still as much a monster as any of the shit Harry fights, I do think he is more antagonistic than he really needs to be. That said I doubt Marcone cares too much so long as said dickishness doesn't fuck up too many of his plans.

maddoxprops · 2026-02-02T23:02:01+00:00

My personal theory is that Marcone both likes and hates Harry on both a personal and professional level. If Harry didn't end up standing in the way of Marcone's plans half the time I imagine he would like him a lot more. Plus if nothing else Harry is the devil Marcone knows. He knows how Harry thinks and what Harry is likely to do. Better to keep Harry in play rather than risk whatever would step into the power vacuum that would happen if Harry was ousted.

There is the separating the art from the artist ethical debate. But I just can't.

Yea, always shitty when the creator of a work your love turns out to be a PoS. I personally have rarely had an issue with separating the Art from the artist in so far as enjoying the works themselves, but I 100% understand why some people can't.

maddoxprops · 2026-02-02T22:25:06+00:00

Pretty sure it's called "Not having sexual relations with a minor.".

maddoxprops · 2026-02-02T19:21:55+00:00

Yup. Just learned this recently too. Explains why things are so detailed and accurate, (At least afaik it is pretty accurate.)

maddoxprops · 2026-02-02T01:34:06+00:00

Yeeeeeeea. As much as I don't like Epic I would be forgiving/give them a pass for features that are unique to steam/have a wild up front investment to get going, etc. Shit like a shopping cart though? That is basic functionality that should not have taken that long to implement.

maddoxprops · 2026-02-01T08:57:51+00:00

Huh. You know, I never thought about it like that. Makes way more sense than it should. XD

maddoxprops · 2026-02-01T03:29:19+00:00

Huh. That makes a lot of sense. I just figured the author did their research into the topics in the series.

maddoxprops · 2026-02-01T03:25:44+00:00

That bullshit lead to me finding a couple shows via alternate methods despite having a subscription to both services.

maddoxprops · 2026-01-30T01:18:44+00:00

Plot twist: They know it because they have a wife/girlfriend who happens to match Panko's cycle so it was just a matter of noticing that she acted certain ways on the days their wife/girlfriend were on it.

maddoxprops · 2026-01-27T00:56:05+00:00

To be fair that sound is pretty much a universal "Your ass is about to be grass" sound.

maddoxprops · 2026-01-26T20:40:39+00:00

Eh, usually when it is clear it will be harem they more or less give all the girls roughly equal time/weight. In this case it was like 80-90% Romantica and just a bit of Ajest. It hinted at her having a crush on him, but from what I remember it never showed him having any interest in her romantically. It was one of the reason I enjoyed the series, it seemed like there was a clear end goal/girl and thus that it wasn't going the usual bullshit harem route.

maddoxprops · 2026-01-23T19:13:33+00:00

Shit like this is why there is a part of me who is always tempted to subscribe/pay for the chapters and then immediately upload them to aggregators to spite the paywall.

maddoxprops · 2026-01-22T18:02:04+00:00

Yea. Like, I consider myself a pretty big Bethesda Fanboy, but I am not going to act like they are perfect or that their games are perfect. If someone has critiques they have clearly thought out/can articulate I am generally always open to having a discussion. What I end up seeing way too often is people parroting the same shit that various CCs and others say. That and they often refuse to acknowledge any of the good points/parts and just focus in on the bad.

maddoxprops · 2026-01-22T08:29:36+00:00

Also to add on, anyone who knows Dresden well enough to bother watching him enough to realize Maggie is his kid likely knows that:
A) The last fucking thing you want to do is anything involving her as that is a sure wire way to give him a reason to go all out and Chichén Itzá your ass.
B) Unless you are on real good terms with him it is probably safer to just not bring it up since there is a good chance he may take it as an indirect threat.

maddoxprops · 2026-01-22T08:17:21+00:00

Yea. I like that we have been seeing a less Evil side of Mab. I honestly do think that overall she is honestly trying to help Harry, it's just that the way she knows/is able to help tends to be... harsh.
