[long peak]

And weekends

[tidal shore]

ah

[long peak]

And on vacation

[tidal shore]

I see

[long peak]

Now it wasn't a full 40 hours cause that would be illegal but it was damn near 40

[high storm]

Being taken care of is actually very comfortable

[tidal shore]

afaik a student can work up to 10 hours a week? depends by country tho

[long peak]

That's crazy

[high storm]

Heavily county dependant

[tidal shore]

well, you can technically work more if they are paying you "under the table"

[long peak]

My only restriction is that I couldn't work until after midnight

[tidal shore]

which is what most people do

[long peak]

Which was broken many times

[high storm]

They can work 36 hours here lol

[tidal shore]

that's crazy

[high storm]

14-16 is just 24 tho

[long peak]

So my whole schedule was go to school and then go to work and repeat

[high storm]

That sounds not ideal

[long peak]

It was not

The job sucked too

[high storm]

Rip

[long peak]

I left that one to have a more accommodating job

Where I could actually do homework

[high storm]

Very hardworking individual you are

[long peak]

I also started working before I had my license so for the first month or two I'd have to have my parents pick me up at 1 am

[tidal shore]

do you think it was worth it, in hindsight?

[high storm]

All I did during school was having fun and relaxing until crunching

[long peak]

I got a good buffer of money but i wish I had more free time like I did before I got a job

[tidal shore]

well, if u don't hate school days then consider yourself lucky

it's a privileged position to be in

[high storm]

Imo working anywhere is a good idea and a wake-up call for many

[tidal shore]

yeah agree

[high storm]

It's less about school and more about being a kid

[tidal shore]

no, it's totally about school

[high storm]

School is chill in retrospec because you were a kid

Kids don't have adult worries

[tidal shore]

having your individuality and talents stifled all throughout childhood, school being too poor to even let you experience the outside world via trips or even take you to sports events

[high storm]

Thus childhood is the best period of life for most people unless you had abusive parents or smth

[long peak]

School is a million times better

[long peak]

Okay so I think this is a you thing

[high storm]

This is a you problem

[long peak]

Maybe Poland is just doodoo dog ass

[tidal shore]

ofc this goes without saying, if u have not-poor parents then u won't have a problem with it

[high storm]

Kids don't have much individuality developed anyways

[long peak]

I mean my parents aren't poor but they definitely aren't rich at all

[high storm]

Until 15-16 you barely have a personality beyond 1-2 traits

[tidal shore]

this is the most invalidating response I've read today, nice

:DDD

[dusty fable]

How exactly your individuality and talents are stiffled at school? You get an all-rounded education that allows you to find out your talents

[high storm]

Yeah school is a jump pad not a cage

It actually does prepare you for your shittty future job

[tidal shore]

Idk what la-la-land you're from, but that'd fefinitely not it
you can't express your own opinions, you're forced to conform with everyone else, discussion is actively discouraged and punished, your talents are not being put to use simply by not allowing you to participate in organised events, there are no clubs or nothing really that would focus on elevating individual students' talents

and like I said, if your parents are poor then they can't even afford to sign you up to any clubs either

[long peak]

That's not at all what school is like

[high storm]

You had a really shitty school without a single club

[long peak]

I'm thinking you went to a prison school

[tidal shore]

again, Idk what la-la-land you're from, but this is what school is like here

[long peak]

I went to a regular public school my whole life

Not a fantasy land

[high storm]

I wish...

[dusty fable]

Can't relate to that. Too bad you experienced that, because that's definitely not what school is about and if it's widespread in Poland, you need a reform

[long peak]

Poland seems to have the 5th best education in Europe idk

[high storm]

Caveman probably didn't have many friends in school or smth

[long peak]

From a brief Google search

[tidal shore]

look at the criteria used to determine this

[high storm]

Otherwise fucking around every period and during some of the lessons releases much tension

[long peak]

Let's not make assumptions like that

[tidal shore]

I know it's kind of commonly accepted abroad that Polish people are hard workers, maybe that's what our schools are best at creating, haven't looked much into it so I wouldn't know

[long peak]

This is all I could find in response

Only universities since they're actually adults

[tidal shore]

yeah makes sense

it's a bit crazy how different high school was to a uni in my experience

in high school ur still being treated like a 5 year old, but in uni suddenly you have agency and no one demands anything from you

[high storm]

Caveman you just had a very shitty school and assume everyone had 7 lessons

[tidal shore]

anyway, I'm talking personal experience, so I'm not saying this is how it is everywhere (evidently it's not, I lost on spawn location)

[long peak]

Well when you say this it comes off like you mean that's how it is everywhere

[dusty fable]

I understand why it can be like that, but it's not how it should be. Ofc, when you have classes with 30+ ppl you have less chances to meaningfully participate and teachers in public schools may somewhat give up on students and not pay much attention to them. It's a failure from multiple perspectives that could happen

[high storm]

I somehow doubt that every day every school had 7 hours of non stop lessons and homework for hours

[tidal shore]

I see, honestly I got a similar vibe from your and kvitsev's responses too, I should've been more specific

[long peak]

Well I'm just surprised you had 2 hours of homework every night

[high storm]

Effectiveness of schools in current format is whole another beast

[tidal shore]

it's okay, I managed to evade most of it

but at what cost

:pepehands:

[high storm]

Skipping classes and pretending to be sick is actually cool and awesome

One problem for me tho, I lived 10 steps away from school

Never shit in school toilets I don't think, I just walked home

[long peak]

Well regular school is fine

[tidal shore]

it is kinda crazy yeah, when I was in a specialised class for year (until deciding it's not for me) we had 8 lessons a day (not everyday, but 3 times a week at least), it was kinda exhausting

[long peak]

Talking with friends at lunch doing stuff outside of school was sick

[high storm]

Wtf, never heard of school like that

[tidal shore]

huhh they let you outside during breaks?

[high storm]

That's the best part

[long peak]

No

We had a courtyard

[tidal shore]

oh ok

[high storm]

BRO IS NOT BEATING PRISON ALLEGATIONS

[long peak]

And then after school, you do stuff with friends

[tidal shore]

legit can't leave bulding during breaks

they'd lock you in

[high storm]

That's so fucking stupid, why not? We always had half of our class go outside to even buy stuff or smth

[tidal shore]

middle school was the worst for it I remember

[high storm]

We even had one of our classmates as dedicated delivery boy so we wouldn't waste time to going to shop and just play basketball or football

[tidal shore]

lmaooo

how long were your breaks?

in hindsight, I think my primary school was the most normal, it just got worse from there

[high storm]

15 minutes ofc

Can't imagine they can be different

[tidal shore]

yeah 15 mins sounds about right

[high storm]

45 minutes a lesson, 15 for break

Eh

[tidal shore]

yeah

5 minute break, only once a day u get 15 min break

[high storm]

What?

[tidal shore]

yeah it was like

[high storm]

Every break is 15 minutes

[tidal shore]

5 mins break, then 10? then 15? then back to 5 again

something like that

weird system

[high storm]

Every is 15 except events then it's 20

[tidal shore]

crazy

legit fucked by spawn location

😭

[dusty fable]

Why, maybe you do need a reform in Poland

[high storm]

Hey man your diploma is much better than mine

That's what matters

[tidal shore]

don't got one bro 😭

[high storm]

The one you get from ending school

It's acceptable in EU, Ukrainian one isn't

[tidal shore]

huh

I didn't know that

[high storm]

That's why many Ukrainians go study in Poland ┐⁠(⁠ ⁠∵⁠ ⁠)⁠┌

[tidal shore]

oh by diploma u meant end of hs certificate?

[high storm]

Yuh

[tidal shore]

fair

[dusty fable]

Is it even important nowadays?

[high storm]

It was at the time I was in school

[dusty fable]

Important for what purpose?

[tidal shore]

better education abroad I presume

and money

[high storm]

Better opportunities

[tidal shore]

that too

[dusty fable]

Maybe. Ppl who care about opportunities at school wouldn't rely simply on the certificate. If you want opportunities, you win competitions

[high storm]

Yeah yeah yeah whatever both things are true

Study good = easier looking for job

Simple as

[tidal shore]

for people to care about opportunities they must first be aware that opportunities exist

[high storm]

Yeah no shit, it's the same as "There is nobody 100% healthy, they are just undiagnosed"

[tidal shore]

yeah, you can't act on something you don't know about

which is another big problem I've had with school

the opportunities were never made known to me

[high storm]

That makes many children feel lost tbf

I imagine many of us had this dread when we found out like "In 100 bagillion years sun will die" and were like 😱, or when we saw a cosmonaut and just decide on the spot to become one

Kids are stupid, you need to introduce them gradually

[dusty fable]

Well, I was just answering to posit about hs certificate of one country giving better opportunities compared to another country. Either he was aware of that or it is a preconception he picked up later

[dusty fable]

Kids don't really grasp the concept of opportunities fully, though they can be aware of them. That's why parents need to push kids. And whether that push will be able to do good or bad depends on how well kids and parents communicate

[dusty fable]

All kids are impulsive. They get interested and then get bored. Parents just need to channel that properly. And that comes from understanding. Not many parents are able to understand their kids well enough to make proper decisions for them

[tidal shore]

idk

I stuck with football pretty much my entire childhood

so not all kids are impulsive

I would probably remain a footballer if people weren't so fucking shit

[high storm]

That would be a rare exception so not applicable

[tidal shore]

the worst part was I had to wait 2 years before I could sign up for a football club, meaning I was going to be behind the rest of the world anyway cuz of how shit Poland is

so fucking backwater

pisses me off every time I think about it

[dusty fable]

You were just lucky to find what you liked early on

[tidal shore]

too bad I can't pay taxes with it

athlete's life is short, and if u don't make it to top 5% of the world u won't make good enough money with it

[dusty fable]

Well, can't blame you for that. Sometimes we don't stick to what we like for whatever reason and it's reasonable. That's why we need parents to figure that out for us

[tidal shore]

yeah that's true

actually crazy how big a difference it makes

are you familiar with this? https://www.reddit.com/r/chess/comments/1d9gjeh/til_psychologist_lászló_polgár_theorized_that_any/

[dusty fable]

Well, it's a pretty common theory and it is somewhat supported by scientific evidence. That's why some parents try to make their kids play piano or violin as early as possible

[tidal shore]

wat

sorry, I don't see how this relates

[dusty fable]

Well, the guy taught his kids chess since the age of 4. They became good at it. The earlier you start to learn something the better you will be at it. Since the father was a good player at chess he had it in his genes, so it was a reasonable thing to try, though not necessarily a good one

[tidal shore]

wouldn't call it genetic but I digress
wasn't the premise a bit different? something about surrounding yourself, your household, and your kids with chess, making it natural for them to pick it up rather than forcing it on them, the end goal would be sparking their curiosity and keeping their interest

whereas I see parents forcing their kids to learn piano or violin or whatever, which is the opposite of what Laszlo did

actually this forced approach was adopted by the whole of China

for piano at least

[dusty fable]

Tbh, I still consider it forcing on them. I doubt all four of his kids liked chess that much.

[tidal shore]

if you read interviews with them they will say they loved playing chess

this is so funny, she just went like brrrr (Judit)

[dusty fable]

Well, in this case I am wrong then, but I am still doubtful of the method

I think ppl need to choose what they like

My personal choice would be to train kids' physique and memory and other cognitive abilities and let them choose what they like having those powerful instruments at their disposal

[tidal shore]

what about nurturing their interests?

a kid with a lot of knowledge and abilities might feel aimless

[dusty fable]

Well, that's the harder part. Kids tend to find what they like pretty early, it's their parents mission to identify these interests and support or inhibit them

[tidal shore]

in the first place, how can a person know what they like without knowing it exists?

the choice offered by schools is often incredibly limited

internet has changed that in the sense that you can learn about possibilities and activities and jobs by random chance, simply by scrolling on social media

and talking with people on discord

which I think is a net positive

[dusty fable]

You don't need much to experience a lot of things in the world as a kid tbh. And the direction could be set by simple preferences, like running, fighting, reading, singing or other accessible activities

[tidal shore]

and say, if your kid's interests are sports (which a lot of kids would like honestly), you will need to ensure that they can sustain themselves if the sport doesn't work out

so it's not just about nurturing interest, but other things too

[dusty fable]

I think a healthy smart person can sustain themselves in most cases

So the point of early education is to develop healthy and mindful habits

[tidal shore]

ehh

maybe

yeah habits are important

but for habits, I think the long term goal would be to make them stick, cuz along the way (especially during teenage years) they might fade or get replaced by vices or other things

[dusty fable]

That's why you need to develop mindful habits too, like developing a proper opinion and decision making habits. That's why modern education theory includes things like making kids choose their toy(and only a few toys at that, not many) and stick to their choices, if they think these choices are correct. So the kids are more mindful about their choices. It's a complex topic

If you have a proper decision making setup, it is harder to pick up bad habits, because kid can evaluate things from multiple perspectives. And good habits survive longer too, because kid(or teen) can understand what is good about having these habits

[high storm]

Can you guys talk about like Naruto or Bleach or something

[tidal shore]

shut the fuck up kvit

https://tenor.com/view/judgement-cat-cat-angry-cat-cat-face-cat-forehead-gif-4731341898773190051

[dusty fable]

The same goes for developing appreciation for delayed gratification. Because a lot of bad habits come from preference of immediate gratification

[tidal shore]

I see

[tidal shore]

yeah this is fair

honestly, I don't think I've ever been taught this

had to figure shit out on my own, and I'm probably still missing a lot

oh well

[high storm]

Yer lucky I am playing zzz rn and instead of listening to your schizo rambling

[dusty fable]

It's a rather new set of theories. Most of the research was done in recent 15-20 years

[tidal shore]

seems crazy to me no one thought of this for the 12 000 recorded years of human civilisation

[ionic schooner]

wsg chat

what are we yapping about

[tidal shore]

hi coco

[ionic schooner]

CAVEMAN

[tidal shore]

coco discovered alpha transparency and invisible character

I give it a week before he gets bored of it

[dusty fable]

There are multiple reasons for that. Until recently the best strategy was to have as many kids as possible. So the preference of having a single kid in a family is rather novel, so ppl start to pay more attention to kids

[dusty fable]

Finally, the ages long quest is completed

[tidal shore]

I am not entirely sold on this reasoning, cuz like, I assume even before that, nobles and plebs alike would focus on the child that inherits their legacy

so they would pay a lot of attention to the chosen child, at the very least

[dusty fable]

Oh, it's not that paying attention that matters. After all, aristocrats also preferred to have more kids, because their death rates due to illnesses were still pretty bad. I mean that nowadays it became a commodity that can be sold, thus people are incentivized to research it.

[tidal shore]

I guess that makes sense

[frank musk]

He did that already a while back, ill bet 3-4 days

[dusty fable]

Funny enough, ppl seriously thought that more flogging for adults was a good educative measure to teach them proper behaviour and discipline. So they had flogging in army until like 1900s or longer depending on the country. Humans thought beating kids was a good educational technique (a lot of ppl still think so). So honestly it doesn't surprise me that we still don't know how to raise kids properly

Beating is simple and it's working short term for educational purposes. And humans are known for not being great at thinking long term

[high storm]

Gotta love the goofy faces in kindergarten wars

[high storm]

Due to powers of my giga autism I got myself a free melted chocolate ice-cream

Gonna be a gamble if 2 hours long melted ice-cream is edible or not

It's not 😭

The one time approaching a stranger unprompted didn't get me stuff

[dusty fable]

You can make a milk shake with a melted ice cream

[high storm]

That shit tasted funny

No shot I am eating something that tastes sour when it's supposed to be sweet

[dusty fable]

I don't think ice cream goes bad in less than a day kekw

But yeah, better not to eat if it has a bad taste

[high storm]

That's what I thought too! But god smite me down if I am lying that ice-cream tasted like mold

Well I approached a group of 8 people and got something from them for free so I already see myself as successful individual today

this one is funny

ok here's my actual list (cuz these are the only ones I've watched)

• maid dragon outside the picture

actually haven't finished AoT yet

[high storm]

I have not seen half the shows present it felt unfair

I would also never defend Griffith, fuck that guy

[next crescent]

Same, I don't want to share the results because I've only watched like 4 of the shows lol

It feels unfair

[high storm]

I put the only 5 I've seen lol

[next crescent]

Lol

[high storm]

Oh no nvm I didn't put mushoko there

Ain't anything "based" about it

I put it on the very bottom

[high storm]

After reading the interview I am 90% convinced the author is just autistic but undiagnosed

You don't say "Laios is literally just a normal guy like you and I"

No, he really isn't

[dusty fable]

Kekw, this site is funny, I dig it

[dusty fable]

Rip

Pretty sure NGE and Frieren tanked my Based rating

Tbh, none of these are my real top 5. Maybe somewhere in top10-15

These animes are mostly hype shit

I am honestly surprised Death Note is note there.

I'm going crazy over this "non-existent" romance cheating story, discord servers that i'm in don't know the story that i talked about

[outer scaffold]

New studio?

The artstyle is different than what i've seen on the social media

[long peak]

I've only watched one episode of one piece but it's fine

[edgy bone]

i feel like it didnt even care about the rest after i put one piece first

[next crescent]

The description seems to be based on which anime is your #1 on the list and the title is based on your anime in 1-5

[edgy bone]

i have no idea what my description even means

[outer scaffold]

Your friends have two sides, either the ones that watched one piece and the ones that don't, that's it

[edgy bone]

sorry i meant

the title

[tidal shore]

I'm ngl

I wanna watch Lain and Welcome to NHK one day

[high storm]

I prefer more silly tests like "What ninja turtle are you"

[tidal shore]

hi ninja turtle

not sure about Eva

I've seen Eva abridged tho

couldn't be arsed to watch the original first

Y'all know about Lain, right?

[high storm]

Smart and thoughtful tests like that make more sense

I am for example was often Donatello or Michael

[tidal shore]

cap

did he rly say that

is the author rly this oblivious

[high storm]

Laios is autistic as fuck I dunno why said he is a regular person like her

[tidal shore]

all characters seemed very off to me in the manga tbh

[high storm]

I would say yes

[tidal shore]

lmao

[edgy bone]

i read the manga

it's kinda a slow burn but i like the overall message

[high storm]

ANOTHER EXORCISM? 💀😭

Please tell me it's literally actual magic not ghost fighting ba

[dusty fable]

Watch it. At least NHK. Skip Lain until you are fucking old and can either 5head it or just at least sleep through it without regrets

[dusty fable]

Iced out means washed, but in a crippled way. Like washed due to a trauma. IDK if trapper is supposed to mean anything besides trapper

Oh sweet

Go For It Nakamura! is getting an anime

I really liked the comic myself. It got some good laughs outta me.

[dusty fable]

You are not old enough to fall asleep while watching the anime. You can't watch Lain otherwise. Unless you're somewhere between sleeping and waking and making some random cognitive connections

If you watch Akira and Ghost in the Shell and Ergo Proxy and like it a lot, then maybe you are fine with Lain, because it's a step further into philosophy and meditative storytelling

[high storm]

I loved Ergo Proxy but Akira was quite frankly very boring for me

Due to it being cult classic I expected it to be more than what felt like just the beginning

[dusty fable]

Ergo Proxy is the closest you get to normal storytelling in old-school anime cyberpunk genre. If I were to suggest an old cyberpunk anime, it would be either Ergo Proxy or GitS

Because it's the easiest way to get into the genre

[high storm]

Literal nobody

[tidal shore]

it's okay I'm into avant garde stuff

[dusty fable]

I wouldn't call it avant garde. It's more like a philosophical work.

[tidal shore]

I guess

the presentation though is pretty avant garde from what I've seen

and I really like the songs from it

[high storm]

This time it's in modern setting and main group are spec ops and they use guns and shit and monster are called literally monsters

Lots of bureaucracy and all characters seem like reasonable adults

Too normal for Shonen jump, I will it when it will get axed because of no harem or honkers in your face

[shadow knot]

nhk ni youkoso aka peak show mentioned, I have been summoned

[shadow knot]

100% check out nhk it depicts neet/otaku culture at a solid degree and handles a lot of topics really well while balancing the mc’s development and his interactions with most of the cast

lain was definitely ahead of its time and many people fw the aesthetics and eerie psychological atmosphere it pertains to but unfortunately for me its worse of the 3 abe shows

texhnolyze will always be the best for me even if its one of the most pretentious anime one could ever watch

https://tenor.com/view/texhnolyze-ran-mask-rotating-gif-22803550

Man, really need to restart reading the manga again. I forgot why I dropped the fan translation (slow updates I think?), but I hope my local publisher gonna have the rights for this cuz of the anime

At least the Overlord one looks like it's on track for its release

[dusty fable]

Here some good Touhou vibes for you https://youtu.be/d0dfD_JYnTE?si=S0h35QZQso8B7hvW

Here some more https://youtu.be/E-YVBzqbVEo?si=th--GGvUs33m7Jt0

This last one very few ppl know about (unfortunately)

[topaz linden]

Ah, some bossa nova touhou lol

I do like it from time to time, but I tend to stay more in the rock/edm touhou genres

[dusty fable]

Piano/jazz/classic/orchestra Touhou is vast. And it gets very good composers too (jpn conservatory freshmen mb? Sound is often very good). And all of it started with Touhou Metal for me Kekw

Still a banger op

[long peak]

I think bling bang bang born clears

[high storm]

I too prefer a goofy opening

Beastars openings are very good though

[shadow sleet]

No way TOG predicted chatgpt 10 years ago 😭

[high storm]

What's TOG

[frank musk]

Tower of god maybe?

[shadow sleet]

Yeah

[dusty fable]

Scientists thought we would have ChatGPT 50 years ago. Then machine learning hit the wall. Anyway, this level of automation was in SciFi for years

[high storm]

🤓when jokes and exaggerations exist

[shadow sleet]

Its eerily similar

Texting interface

[dusty fable]

Tbh, we have almost everything SciFi envisioned: robots, holographic displays, flying cars, virtual reality. Most of it doesn't work as we hoped xD

[shadow sleet]

People are starting to get too used to it

Manipulated data

People believing in it so much they cant see when it lies(hallucinate)

ChatGPT doesnt work yet people are gobbling it up ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[dusty fable]

It works if you are experienced with it. If you don't expect it to give you a final result, but a half finished product instead that still saves you hours, it's great

[high storm]

AI is a tool not a master

[dusty fable]

First mobile phones were also an unusable shit for years

[shadow sleet]

It works for queries that are already massively documented online

Nothing more

[high storm]

As if that's not useful lol

I for one would never find as many sources to back my shit up as GPT did

First time ever seen a bachelor degree defence starting with thanking Allah and writer's family lol

[shadow sleet]

I use it mostly for code and it makes a lot of stuff up lmao

[dusty fable]

That's the problem with information, we have too much of it already. AIs let the user more laser focus on stuff, instead of scrolling through pages of information

[shadow sleet]

References

• ChatGPT. chatgpt.com.

[high storm]

Nope! I actually asked for sources and did get them!

I worked with Gemini AI though

[shadow sleet]

Lucky you, if whatever it said exists

[high storm]

It does, it provided me a direct link to it

[shadow sleet]

I dont use gemini alot aside from demos since it has a free dev tier lmao

[dusty fable]

Well, there is template driven coding and solution driven coding. Bots would not be able to provide the latter anytime soon, because you often need 1 exact solution of hundreds similar ones, and the solution is also an unlikely one which is not something current AIs can pick up

Anyway, boilerplate code is still what code mostly consists of.

[shadow sleet]

Yes, the tech landscape also has rapid iterations. Alot of the responses are obsolete if ur working with newer things.

Anyways personally I am on the camp that GPTs will not be the way to go forward

Waiting for a genius to come up with a completely novel architecture

[dusty fable]

There are new architectures. KANs were invented recently, which is a completely novel approach. The AIs just starting to lift off

Our problem was that AIs are a black box in a fashion, which is what KANs intend to tackle finally

[shadow sleet]

Im not too into AI research so hopefully theres a publicly usable model of its implementation

(Thats not 100B in params and my pc wont even load)

[dusty fable]

This is exactly what KANs intend to solve. We need a lot of models because we can't intelligently update or tinker with existing models. We don't really have debug tools for models, that's what KANs intend to change

[shadow sleet]

Sounds great

Wow well this sounds like genuine slop

[rancid ledge]

that song will forever haunt me

[topaz linden]

Personally, I find Gemini has the better conversations/overall readability, but Copilot is my preferred one for research, since unlike Google's, it actively can search the web for answers/sources to link (Google's is more of a "saved up to X date" database iirc)

Been using Gemini tho for language learning and it's fantastic

[rancid ledge]

there are so many "another world" animes

with the most obnoxious names

[topaz linden]

Even actually good series arent safe from the ridiculous names lol

That name is so ridiculous...

[rancid ledge]

i thought it ended

[outer scaffold]

Nahh, this time, the rumored different ending could be true (at least, that's my guess tho)

[rancid ledge]

Yeah, yall have fun with that

[outer scaffold]

No, you're coming with us aND HavE sOmE FUn...

[high storm]

0 hope for that, most they will so is probably some animation changes at best

[next crescent]

What is the movie even going to be about 😭
I felt like the end was kind of, well, the end

Unless they're going to expand on the ending sequence with the tree

That was shown during the credits

[high storm]

I think it's like blu-ray release type of deal with some scenes redrawn at most

[rancid ledge]

fuck off, get the fuck away from me.

[high storm]

Wtf is your pfp btw

[rancid ledge]

im not into what anime y'all into

[rancid ledge]

why is it your business, lay off

[high storm]

Looks like fucking Steven from Steven Universe, incredibly lame

[rancid ledge]

oh yeah i am lame

im lame for liking a series, anything else

[high storm]

Just your pfp as far as I know

[high storm]

Nah not really

[rancid ledge]

and it is steven, you idiot

[high storm]

Ha! Knew it

[rancid ledge]

idc feel free to call me whatever you like

[high storm]

Ok Teruko

Having a schizo moment, I get it, just yelled at a spider in my bathroom for getting too close to my sink I understand a fellow schizoid

[rancid ledge]

im not having a schizoid

just dont question about my pfp or my business, thats not something for you to worry about

[high storm]

XD

[rancid ledge]

if i did something that bothered you, then ill leave you alone.

[high storm]

Why are you behaving like an angsty teen bruh

[rancid ledge]

why are you worried about it?

[high storm]

Oh I am not it's just so fucking funny

[rancid ledge]

yeah i am a joke, yeah i get it

im sooooo hilarious

[high storm]

xD

[rancid ledge]

anything else you want to add?

[high storm]

Thanks for the laugh! That's it ig

[edgy bone]

literally read the tweet

improved cuts

[next crescent]

What does that even mean though

The final part to the final season is going to be edited into a movie?

They'd have to cut out like 80% of the material to make it fit the run time

Or is it a different type of cut

[edgy bone]

cut and reanimated

think like how the boruto movie got turned into the manga fterwards

or the kimetrsu train movie

or the dragon ball movies

but in reverse

[next crescent]

Huh 😭

A movie being turned into a manga?

[edgy bone]

ye

it's the whole issue with having canon material be shown in a limited time format form of content

if people get into the series later after the movie stops airing they have no way to see the canon stuff

so they turn it into anime episodes or manga so it's better maintained

also that way you dont have to switch mediums back and forth

[next crescent]

Ah

[tidal shore]

this random manhwa had below average art for like 60 chapters and then it decided to pop off for no reason, actually crazy

@high storm u gotta peep this

[high storm]

Looks so try-hard edgy, peak comedy, thanks

[tidal shore]

I don't see the tryhard part

Imo a pretty well executed panic attack moment

[high storm]

Shit looks hella goofy with the last page of dude just 😁

[tidal shore]

ahh

that's fair XD

[outer scaffold]

Hey, at least poly ships can stop a war between straight shippers and lgbt shippers

Not really niche if both sides can see the benefits of it

Jujutsu Kaisen by Akutami Gege will be ending in 5 more chapters in Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #44 out on September 30th, 2024.

Twitter · Aug 19, 2024, 11:10 AM

[frank musk]

wow 5 chapters

[eternal wyvern]

I have no idea what's going on, but can't wait to see how the fandom gonna take it (the ending)

[frank musk]

im expecting more

[eternal wyvern]

I wonder if we're getting another long running series end before 2024 is over, it's gonna be another 2020 deja vu if that ever happens

[high storm]

HOOOORAY

FINALLY this is over

[high storm]

He said he intended to end in 2023

[eternal wyvern]

For context, the promised neverland, yuragi yuna-san, and haikyuu ended on 2020 iirc

[high storm]

Shit is VERY rushed

[eternal wyvern]

..lord forgot abt the canceled act-age

[high storm]

Underdeveloped world, 0 world building, wasted potential of many characters, countless asspulls and convenient moments, at least his next manga gotta be fun

[eternal wyvern]

Aaargh would've gotten an anime if that author didn't do that stupid harassment

[high storm]

It will be remembered for cultural impact (memes) aka Domain expansion being the biggest one

Regardless of ending memes will be looked upon fondly

[frank musk]

im still trying to remember what happened in the culling games arcs

[high storm]

I don't expect anything good from ending

[high storm]

A fight, a fight, a fight, a fight, a fight, Higuruma, a fight, a fight, a fight

Captivating isn't it

[eternal wyvern]

I'm expecting more fan works based on AUs at least

[high storm]

AUs?

[eternal wyvern]

Alternate universe

[frank musk]

but hey at least that guy's dance was funny

[eternal wyvern]

Like "everyone lives AU" and the likes

Just to cope w/ the ending

[high storm]

Oh yeah that could be fun, fandom will shrink like a motherfucker until next season of anime though

[high storm]

Maybe at least AUs make some character development lol

I believe Gege doesn't care about characters either way tbh, at least past 2 chapters were nice because THEY WEREN'T ABOUT FIGHTING FOR ONCE

[eternal wyvern]

There's prolly already plenty of those
I mean I cope w/ KHR's ending by diving through fanfics and AUs

Those were the days

[high storm]

Pretty crazy how build up and extension of characters' motivations make you INVESTED IN THEM 🤯

[high storm]

Well JJK author said he wants to make idol manga next, we can look forward to that hahahah

[eternal wyvern]

Though since jjk is ending soon, I'm assuming kagurabachi gonna get more fans after this
Or there's gonna be a "big hit vacuum" until the next new battle shonen hit series on jump

[high storm]

I hope it won't attract illiterate ones

But yeah Kagurabachi is pretty legit and most definitely next big hit

[eternal wyvern]

Tho tbh I still think kagurabachi's situation kinda reminds me of black clover in a way, or maybe it's nue's exorcist that's giving me black clover vibes

[high storm]

You read Nue's exorcist?...

[eternal wyvern]

Nope

Don't even read kagurabachi either

[high storm]

Thank god, dropped it after 30 or so chapters due to harem bs

[high storm]

It a bit more complex classic dark-ish shonen, not difficult to follow and haven't had some crazy emotional moments (imo) but it's flashy and easy to make look cool in edits and funny in memes

[eternal wyvern]

I just didn't enjoy the main character's design that much (nue's exorcist), too flat (the same reason I dropped kagurabachi in the first place)
But the reaction from fans was pretty favorable, so it's gonna be a big hit as well

[high storm]

I really hated Nue's exorcist, it's complete slop and it seems it's mostly preferred by Japanese fans only. Kagurabachi started as a meme and first chapter are pretty cliché but gets much better, first arc villian was top notch

[eternal wyvern]

Honestly, that's why both outsider's reactions to both series made me think of black clover in a way

[high storm]

Like imo putting THIS in your FIRST chapter is MADNESS

Author was off the rocker for this one

[eternal wyvern]

I still won't touch them unless I really want to, but it's kinda fun seeing the fandom grows at least

[high storm]

Haven't seen nearly as much media presence for Nue's exorcist, where do you see people discussing it?

[eternal wyvern]

Mostly in forums and JP twitter side iirc, I haven't gone there in a while

[high storm]

That's what I guessed 😔, I really don't get the appeal of "Wimpy scared main character gets strong and a whole harem to himself just because he is so special"

[eternal wyvern]

But I remember seeing lots of fanarts from popular ecchi fanartists, making fanarts of the girls, so it's a good indicator of a growing fandom on that side

(not just ecchi fanartists, but iykyk)

[high storm]

I guess we found the culprit for popularity then!

The shallowest reason of all imo to be frank

But yeah they do look pretty good I can't say manga looks bad

[eternal wyvern]

You'd be surprised how willing a fandom can get for their waifus

Aka gacha scene

[high storm]

Yeah I really hate waifu tribalism

[craggy mango]

The price to pay to get hxh return ig

[craggy mango]

For about 5 chapters maybe

[high storm]

I only ever played wuwa, battle cats, zzz and genshin, never found a character I would go online for and argue about them being more attractive than another lmao

Battle cats fandom is beautiful though, easily my favourite out of gacha scene

(probably due to low waifu%)

[high storm]

I am dreading how many "new" exorcism manga will begin the day JJK ends lmao

[eternal wyvern]

Aah you should play more JP gacha then, it's everywhere

Idol fandom is also like this iirc

[high storm]

I find it to be completely pointless to argue with someone who is biased and blind enough to not see the greatness of insert waifu why bother smh

The closest I ever got is like, Konosuba? I really like Wiz

That's about it

┐⁠(⁠ ⁠∵⁠ ⁠)⁠┌

[outer scaffold]

Around 1 year after gojo's death huh?

[high storm]

This was a good deep dive into psychology, 8/10 for Homunculus, I really could not relate to struggles depicted so it's deeper meaning is lost on me

[long peak]

Hey the last 2 arcs were pure heat

Not necessarily emotional but it was cool

[high storm]

Just because I know someone very well (character in this case) doesn't mean I will sympathise with them

Main character fucking SUCKS as a person

[long peak]

Chihiro?

[high storm]

Still a good interesting story to follow

[long peak]

Chihiro is cool

Him and hakuri had a sick dynamic in this last arc

[high storm]

No, he really isn't, he is literally insane r***st, obsessed with materialism and who forced a girl into same insane shit as he did

[high storm]

Who are you talking about?

Oh shit sorry I thought you replied to Homunculus message

[long peak]

Oh

No I was talking about kagurabachi my bad

[high storm]

@long peak sincere apologies for my misbehaving

[long peak]

You will be spared

[high storm]

Yeah totally agree, really grew to appreciate Hakuri this arc

I wonder if his abilities will anyhow be nerfed or smth though

He seems ||crazy strong as of now||

[long peak]

I mean his abilities aren't that particularly crazy, for now it's just teleporting items

And he only has 2 right now

[high storm]

Really liked his interactions with his family

[high storm]

That's twice as many as his other folks had tho lol

[long peak]

Well,

Yeah

True

[high storm]

I liked his dad the most in the family though easily

[long peak]

His dad was a great villain

[long peak]

He didn't have any lofty plans or anything like that, he just wanted to run his auction

[high storm]

True centrist, just doing his thing /j

[long peak]

If you ignore the product being sold, true

[high storm]

Really liking the villains in Kagurabachi so far, first arc villain in particular

[long peak]

Yeah I'm hoping this next arc goes crazy

[high storm]

He really felt like someone who belongs in later arcs compared to other shonen

[long peak]

Cause the setup is feeling pretty good

[high storm]

I am expecting lots of fucky sword abilities tbh

One of them probably cuts atoms or smth

[long peak]

It reminds me of the divine visionary testing arc from mashle

[high storm]

To complete all of "Rokuhira Openhaimer" memes

[long peak]

Or at least the start of it

[high storm]

Have not watched that

[long peak]

Mashle is sick

[high storm]

But if Chihiro gets an arc for each sword I will be plenty satisfied

[long peak]

It's a brain off shonen but it embraces that fact

[high storm]

Do we think there will be "fake sword" arc?

[long peak]

Like one of the temples is hiding nothing?

[high storm]

I am kinda betting there will be a mf tryna be a cool guy and make his own sword lookalike

But your suggestion is interesting too

Like "Oh we are guarding this vault for years why would go inside to check if sword is there"

[long peak]

Well I'm not really thinking so, but that's the most reasonable conclusion if there was to be a fake out

[high storm]

I want a dual welding enemy if that's possible

Chihiro kinda did that I guess

[long peak]

That would come near the end if anything

But yeah chihiro already did that

[high storm]

But I really want to see a full power double sword combos or something because final fight of first arc was SICK and I want that again

[high storm]

Do we think we gonna have another part of crew join?

[long peak]

Literally no clue

We're 3 arcs in and we've gained a random amount every time or none at all

[high storm]

Guess manga is built differently 🗣️🔥💯

[long peak]

I don't think this is a one piece situation where there's at least a pattern for the first half

[edgy bone]

omg it's finally over

[long peak]

How

[ionic schooner]

gege goes into jjk himself

and kills literally everyone

[long peak]

I believe it

[ionic schooner]

like he writes his own op powers

and kills everything

[long peak]

Coco you should watch mashle

[ionic schooner]

destroys the world

[ionic schooner]

i watched s1

is s2 out yet

Oooooooh

It looks so fucking good

[tidal shore]

"bleach" being next generation is so crazy

[next crescent]

Hey, it had a new season semi-recently

After 15 years

Think of it as a new gen reboot

[craggy mango]

No 😭 it means they gonna hold an award for new unpublished battle manga

The jury will be jjk, mha, bleach and black clover authors

[high storm]

Oh no

[craggy mango]

That's why Horikoshi drew all those mc

[high storm]

I still remember JJK author saying he likes one of new mangas and it got axed

I would not take Gege's blessings lol

[craggy mango]

Actually Tabata being in there is more questionable

Nobody gonna put black clover at same level as the other manga

Should had invited Gotouge instead

[next crescent]

Ye

[tidal shore]

actually

black clover is pretty good

I'll die on this hill

[high storm]

It sure isn't talked about though

[tidal shore]

for me manga >

that said

nvm

I don't feel like becoming a heretic yet

[high storm]

Smth smth shonen bad?

Or whatever would be heresy in this case

[tidal shore]

I would put them all on the same level

[high storm]

Eeeeeeeeh

[tidal shore]

jjk maybe gets a pass for having dope animation

storytelling tho is all pretty much cookie cutter

i sleep

[high storm]

Yeah nah I don't feel like these are all on the same level

[high storm]

Storytelling is imo the most important part that's why jjk as a whole sucks ass imo

Anime adapted pretty much the best arcs lol

Unless someone think that the 1/4 of manga (sukuna fight) is the best arc

Which imo sounds like a meme

[dusty fable]

Agree, Black Clover is quite good. The first story arc is complete trash but then it picks up. Probably 3rd best shonen for me after FMAB and HXH

[tidal shore]

huh that's a more crazy take than I anticipated

I thought Black Clover generally had a mediocre reputation

[dusty fable]

It had, but then it got good, but nobody cared kekw. People who know, know

[tidal shore]

people who only watch the anime

I remember when it started airing, and nearly every episode had some filler mixed into the story, which I thought hurt the overall pacing pretty bad

but yea I agree, the story picks up later and honestly it kept me hooked (which is rare for shounen)

[high storm]

I know manga showed naked women without censor, that was the only time I've heard of black clover manga

Oh and about how it's about to end soon or smth

My friend watched Black Clover day 1 so he told me a little about it but it's generally not that popular of a show

[dusty fable]

Popularity in shonens is pretty unimportant. Plenty popular mangas that are mediocre

[high storm]

Khm khm demon slayer khm khm

[high storm]

I am not saying it's bad, I never watched it, I am just saying it's not as praised as some other shonen shows

[rancid ledge]

I still like the part when asta turned into a demon

[high storm]

Spoilers smh

Not that I intend to watch the show though

Just others may be lurking

[rancid ledge]

hey you showed csm spoilers so let me have this

[high storm]

Seems like a circle of unnecessary spoilers that can easily be broken

[dusty fable]

Black Clover doesn't have outstanding qualities. But its storytelling is strong and ppl who read shonen don't usually care about that stuff

[high storm]

Be the better person, you know you can 😁👍

[rancid ledge]

season 1 may not be good but the other seasons are great

||elf arc is good as hell||

[tidal shore]

is actually also pretty good, I will also die on this hill

[high storm]

I remember and I will disagree with you until bitter end

[outer scaffold]

WAIT WHAT?

[high storm]

I thought it was pretty hard, turns out it's still kinda "censored" (ykwim?)

[dusty fable]

Did you expect Berserk lvls in shonen manga or something? xD

Damn, all chats deadge. Guys preparing for school or something

[high storm]

Lmfao no

I am probably going to get 2 new roommates soon

Gotta keep my room tidy for a day or two and then drink two 17 year olds to half death

That's our welcome ritual

[outer scaffold]

Wait, you're drinking two 17 years old? Cannibalism. /j

[high storm]

I want to eat human flesh one day but it won't be soon

I will just make them drink beer or my dangerously high in alcohol homemade wine

Confirmed.

[high storm]

It's not that bad most of the time

People hate on things they haven't tried

[outer scaffold]

British food right? RIGHT?

[high storm]

Oh yeah yeah

That's the gif I replied to

So obv

uhhhhhhhhhh

pripara ig

idk

i heard aikatsu but never watched it

[craggy mango]

RIP legend 🙏

She was also Flamme VA

Rewatching Frieren will hit harder now

[high storm]

Yet another case of Illness

Translated the doc in twitter post

[craggy mango]

She was 61, still pretty young

[high storm]

That's why I was a bit surprised and translated the doc

[tidal shore]

the opposite, woman hater 😎

[tidal shore]

man that sucks, rip

[high storm]

Dialogueless chapter in chainsawman

I kneel

[mighty cape]

Finally out in quality EN

[dusty fable]

Should be speechless instead

[high storm]

I want next chapter to be without drawings then, go full into the theme

That would be SO fucking funny

[dusty fable]

That would flop unfortunately, Gege can't write more than 50 coherent sentences

[high storm]

Why mention Gege? I am talking chainsawman

[dusty fable]

Ah, right. I confused myself into thinking it was jjk

[high storm]

JJK wishes it had the artistry and creativity of chainsawman 😦

[tidal shore]

@high storm

baki got this?

[high storm]

Probably

Baki built differently tbh

[high storm]

Yujiro has so much testosterone everyone looks like a chick to him so I imagine he could impregnate a woman by looking at her intensely so it's not that hard to imagine he can do this

[outer scaffold]

Rhinedottir gone.

[outer scaffold]

I wonder who will be voicing her now

Moving on, i actually watched 13 Going On 30 yesterday, it's actually promoting subtle cheating, for the female mc or the main mc, it was already implied that she is a cheater, but the male mc also subtle cheating near the end

Moving on from my negative rant, mark ruffalo can actually play his role in a romance movie pretty well, he played the awkward character and moments pretty well with his face and voice

[eternal wyvern]

Lmao

Whoever actually thinks to put in the website names there is too gullible I feel like

[craggy mango]

Tbh i would write some site with the most annoying ads

No mouth 🫢

[shadow knot]

that time of year again

https://youtu.be/iNPK6DzQCzY?si=blPZJD34Elc9qlKz @junior vessel

[junior vessel]

oh i hated that

[shadow knot]

this scene got posted a couple times in this channel I feel

its the only good scene in the show lmao

[junior vessel]

its a meme scene

[shadow knot]

yeah its only relevance

[junior vessel]

the whole show was bad but at least i could tolerate it except for this

[shadow knot]

insane

[high storm]

Such a good scene, incredible voice acting, heard anime is shit tho

[junior vessel]

i just hate when an unserious show tries to take itself seriously

breakdown over chunni talk

[shadow knot]

no that’s totally fair

the thing is that it was too good to be in an unserious show lmao

[high storm]

Wow did they really waste this gem of voice acting on some shitty comedy anime nobody talked about?

Kinda sad

[shadow knot]

yeah the only relevance for it is that scene and its the first trigger show that adapted a source material

its not dungeon meshi guys 🤓

[high storm]

Oh fr? Never knew

Really doesn't scream trigger from it's looks

[shadow knot]

ikr

just looks liek a piece of shit hs anime

[junior vessel]

just regular slop, I dont want to shit on it too hard cuz theres worse that deserves it but yeah

[high storm]

Fo sure

Damn

[shadow knot]

iirc its just a bunch of kids that got superpowers but nothing happens

and thats the point

so they just make sol rom fun or whatever

[junior vessel]

they did draw some kill la kill references here and there

[tidal shore]

it's true

she really popped off

[high storm]

I gotta watch kill la kill someday

[shadow knot]

thats their first show trigger is well known for and considered the best

even though edgerunners remains top guilty pleasure for me

batshit crazy throughout

[junior vessel]

i like the funny move where a studio references their other works just for show

[shadow knot]

and 1:1 with most of the game

[tidal shore]

let me know how many socio-political themes you will notice in it

[high storm]

Kill la kill over Gurren Lagann? No way

It can't be that good

[shadow knot]

ttgl is gainax

[tidal shore]

kill la kill is underrated

would put it above fmab

[high storm]

Oh my bad, but aren't they made by trigger employees or vice versa?

[tidal shore]

or steins gate

[shadow knot]

kinda, gainax and trigger will always be separate to me

gurren lagann still my #1 out of every anime I watched

[high storm]

Stein's gate is unbelievably goated though, if we cut all the useless fluff offshoots

[high storm]

Ma maaan, good taste

[shadow knot]

good taste recognize good taste

[tidal shore]

what do u like about it

[shadow knot]

https://tenor.com/view/usogui-usogui-manga-usogui-perfect-hal-usogui-hal-gif-10797931998043851210

[high storm]

Time travel shows are just something I enjoy very much and this fascination started with Stein's gate

[tidal shore]

fair

[high storm]

Also women in it are all stereotypes I just love

A redhead, a man, a quiet girl

KINO

[shadow knot]

I think S;G to me is one of the only good time travel anime
but then again it had a good VN to begin with

and they adapted it really well

[tidal shore]

I usually can't stomach time travel, and steins gate was no different here (still finished it tho)

[junior vessel]

well steinds gate did it very well, i didnt watch it I played just the first VN, should finish other endinds

i mean visual novel

[high storm]

Stein's gate 0 didn't feel out of place either, I watched it after original show and god it was good

Super slow show though I almost dropped at the start

[junior vessel]

it has a funny system where one irrelevant choice changes the ending

[shadow knot]

actually haven’t checked out 0, heard the ending was really good

[high storm]

It adds a lot to it but doesn't feel like a necessity to watch despite what some mega nerd "Watch original 23 episodes, then S;g 0, then 24th episode"

[junior vessel]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCZsmTSkxaQ

[junior vessel]

man those nerds are always full of it

[high storm]

I was very new to anime at the time so I didn't even hear anything about "correct view list", still very much enjoyed the show

[junior vessel]

i remember finding some guide for all the dangandronpa shit and made it look like rocket science, bro just do release order

[shadow knot]

this is good insight I appreciate it

[high storm]

OVAs are just funsies thought I think

1 episode offshoots

[shadow knot]

I would’ve just done the nerd order out of curiosity lmaooo

[junior vessel]

how about watch original 24 episodes, then 0, then rewatch original again

[shadow knot]

23 eps -> 0 -> 24

[shadow knot]

be like one of my friends who watched backwards

[junior vessel]

omg

[high storm]

Well, because, ||in 23th episode you see what's essentially end of 0, thus you are encouraged to watch all of 0 and THEN finish 24th episode||

[junior vessel]

I remember some gigabrain who watched invincible backwards and didnt like it

and just why

[high storm]

Why

[junior vessel]

they just did

[high storm]

Seems not just counterproductive but straight up stupid

Still ngl my favourite time travel show is probably fucking Link Click

It's so good 😭🙏

[shadow knot]

still haven’t seen s2

but I liked it for the most part

[high storm]

Ooooh you won't regret it

I like the opening working as the same song in reverse

Funky

[high storm]

This season they dwell more into the ||red eyes|| and stakes are much higher

Just fyi if you are interested

[shadow knot]

noted

[crisp skiff]

Very based

Like the building plots they make

Gurenn lagann clearly top 3 anime in my list

Reason why not higher cuz the weird animation they released on ep 4

[undone marten]

Fate Zero is the best fate

[crisp skiff]

Never watch fate series

[dusty fable]

That's just how diverse Trigger is tbh. I don't really like Kill la Kill much, but Ssss.dynazenon is my favorite anime from their production

[dusty fable]

You should check out Nonary games series. The second game in series is hands down best take on time travel I have seen.

[high storm]

Visual novels are a big fat no from me

[dusty fable]

Too bad, visual novels is the best storytelling you get in anime

[high storm]

If I play a game I expect gameplay, not just reading text boxes, not appealing to me sorry

[mighty cape]

Nagatoro, Usagi, Dressup Darling, and Komi spoilers ig
||https://fixupx.com/animeculture00/status/1826119370701156717?s=46||

[dusty fable]

Guess no point reasoning with a generation who doesn't read books

[edgy bone]

nonary games have the most gameplay out of any visual novels

trust me im the same

i dont like visual novels that are just text

i loved the nonary games

theyre more puzzle games with a deep story than visual novels in the traditional sense

ive tried a lot of visual novel stuff and these are the only one ive actually enjoyed playing

[dusty fable]

What VNs did you try?

[edgy bone]

fate stay night, multiple phoenix wrights, danganronpa

[high storm]

I read what I wanted to and all the necessary school shit, I am 20, not 10, I just don't like visual novels because I find it tiresome to read tiny boxes with still pictures

[edgy bone]

some corpse party (altho i liked the first one)

[high storm]

My imagination is far superior to what paints can depict

[edgy bone]

try zero escape

[high storm]

Lol

[edgy bone]

they use 3d models from the 2nd game onwards

[high storm]

Eeeeeh I dunno, maybe if they aren't crazy long or take a long time to get good

Like, what was it, Fata Morgana?

The super long as fuck VN with good story

[dusty fable]

That's why you read manga and watch anime

[high storm]

I gave up after some time playing and just watched a summary

[edgy bone]

try playing the first one till you reach one ending and then decide if you wanna keep going or not

also personally i recommend playing the originals on the ds/3ds emulators instead of pc ports

at least the original was kinda designed for the dual screen, the pc port feels a bit clunky with the ui cuz of that imo

they emulate really well on the phone
