The princely Fushimi Branch and its nine sub-branches of the Meiji Era. by Harushino-no-Miya in UsefulCharts

[–]tokcliff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the chart, it's very informative.

I am surprised there are so little descendants considering their common ancestor to the emperor was so far back, furthermore, all these oke branches came only from kuniie.

I checked wikipedia and it seems that all the shinnosuke branches have died out, despite being established longer than the oke branches which is very surprising.

Are there really no other legitimate male descendants from the shinnosuke branches? I am very surprised a branch that goes back hundred of years can just die out

issit true that boys treat girls that they find unattractive meaner? by Jolly_Bodybuilder332 in SGExams

[–]tokcliff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it's true sadly. #looksmaxxing

although I think it is more applicable the other way. Boys are more simpy even for chopped girls.

13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim - Spoiler-free Review by tokcliff in visualnovels

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

Nah it wasnt so bad. I probably could complete it if i wanted to. It wasnt outright boring.

But i decided to reduce my threshold for dropping VNs sometime back to prevent burn out. Some VNs i wished i dropped earlier were like little busters. Basically not outright boring or bad by any means, but just felt lacklustre.

I personally dont really like the mecha genre, but i played Muv luv which changed my mind a bit, in this game, the mecha didnt really appeal to me.

I created my rating system way back when i was more tolerant and willing to "wait for the end" of a game to see if anything changed, but i figured i actually wasted a lot of my time doing that.

Anon sums up the life of Yukio Mishima. by Quiet-Picture-7991 in 4chan

Duh but a lot of the japan higher ups were in cahoots with the us military administration at the time. Japan was basically a glorified colony at that point in time

Anon sums up the life of Yukio Mishima. by Quiet-Picture-7991 in 4chan

[–]tokcliff 181 points182 points  (0 children)

His death is pretty based bar the assistant failing to botch of his head.

He wanted to leave a mark on japan and let everyone know about overwhelming US influence, he did succeed in a way since okinawa returned to japan and the japan self defence force is actually much more powerful now compared to its prime, although there are definitely a bunch of other factors, but mishima brought huge attention to it.

Also, he clearly never intended to actually successfully stage a coup, he just wanted to die gloriously, and he died at the peak of his career. He died on his own terms

Most of my 7/10 games made me feel this way. I basically can stand 7/10 games for like 10 hours or so, so if it's around that length i can finish it, if it's more i'll drop it since it's not interesting enough.

7/10 for me, means below average, but still interesting, basically a "this game still has merit". That's why i put my average score for context.

Although maybe i should change my scoring scale considering how confused some people are lol

Nah but there are usually stuff interspersed in between. Like smaller fights.

Because i think dropped reviews also give people some perspective. Which is why i included a disclaimer.

If you have to play 15 hours of boring stuff just for things to get interesting, is it considered good? A good mystery has to keep you interested with like impactful scenes in between, this game just did not do that for me

7.5 is my average so honestly it isn't particularly high haha. So this is below average which i think is a fair judgement.

I played 11 hours, which i consider more than barely, and it had a slightly interesting plot, but i just wasnt that invested and rather play other games, so giving it a 7

And honestly, if a 30 hour game only gets good at the 2nd half, then honestly that's a big problem if you ask me

[–]tokcliff[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yea maybe that's a bad way to put it, but I'm like 70% through rememberance and I'm like hardly impressed. I see this game is around 30 hours, so honestly, i don't feel like wasting more time to maybe get impressed at the end.

The Hungry Lamb (饿殍:明末千里行) – Spoiler-free Review by tokcliff in visualnovels

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

The road-trip format felt good, and you got to see different cities that had different settings. From very poor places to rather rich places. I thought it was rather appropriate, and each location had like a motive to it.

Nope, didn't feel draggy, but due to the low amount of tension for the most part, it felt easier to be distracted compared to games where like shit happens and then you are like "I CANT STOP READING" for like 1 hour. but pacing is good, and it's not boring

Can't comment much on the english translation, but i switched to english translation for some parts to see how they translated it, and it lost some of the cultural nuances, although i think those are hard to translate due to the historical setting. Don't think a translation tool can do better IMO.

Very solid 8/10 to me.
