  • There are novels that don’t measure up to the writing of visual novels.

    There are comics that don’t measure up to the art of visual novels.

    There are video games that are less engaging than visual novels.

    Broad generalizations like this are so useless. It’s okay that you play one or two visual novels and they weren’t for you. I don’t particularly like visual novels either, but to discredit an entire genre because of it is just ignorant. I’ve played some visual novels that were excellent and pushed the boundaries of video games. See Slay the Princess and Doki Doki Literature Club. I’m playing Date Everything right now, it’s not exactly innovative, but I’m having fun with it.

    Hormones can play a role as well. Anecdotally, my wife’s hair during pregnancy became fuller and less brittle. Duckduckgo “pregnancy hair”. A monthly cycle, being on hormonal birth control, etc. will likely have some effect. I definitely agree that genetics does play a bigger role, but claiming that gender/sex plays no role is definitely incorrect.





  • Damn, what a wild take.

    Nintendo might not be as innovative as some indie games but they constantly innovate and define new genres.

    I mean, look at the consoles. Wii, Wii U, and Switch are all crazy innovative.

    Some of their more innovative stuff might not be as popular, e.g., ARMS and LABO. Even their mainline series have some innovative mechanics for the genre.

    Serious question. What company is more innovative than Nintendo?






  • Mad Men: I feel bad for you. I don't think about you at all.

    Similar vibe, but I think about this scene/meme a lot as well.

    Likewise, Don Draper is being an asshole in the scene. But, in reality most people don’t think about you.

    They could say something that offended you. They are going to forget about it. So there is no need to be upset, chances are they forgot about it.

    You could say something dumb or embarrassing. People are going to forget almost immediately.

    Agnostic Vampire: Foolish hunter, I am far more powerful than you. You have no chance at success.

    Hunter: Yeah, I really don’t know. You look really strong but I’m really strong too.

    Agnostic Vampire: Ahhh!!! Your uncertainty weakens me!

    Hunter: Oh wow, this feels like a trap. Now I’m even more uncertain.

    Agnostic Vampire: Ahhhhh!!!
