The factory gatcha pull info says there's a 0.002% chance of pulling "Short Day Factory", and the pity system has been globally disabled for over 10 years now.

Better luck next pull!

You might want to check out Mother's Basement on YouTube if you haven't. He's got a great series called Hottest Trash Anime which goes through all of the current seasons more baseless series. He goes over their strong points, and potential audience, and it's all done in a pretty creative and entertaining format.

I will admit, I didn't end up watching anything off of it last season, so maybe we are going through a bit of a drought.

Y'know I was genuinely surprised by it. Like the concept is certainly rather suspect, but then it turned out to actually be quite lewdly wholesome.

I haven't read the manga yet, but I suppose I should. I might save it until I go up another grade level or two in my Japanese studies, though.

I find some of the stuff listed here is borderline not ecchi. I might risk some criticism here, but for me ecchi needs to have some aspect of sexuality as a core theme, not just coincidentally have thrown in a bit too much fan service.

If you want to try something a bit more adventurous, then Interspecies Reviewers is definitely one of the better ones. Also, Gushing Over Magical Girls was quite decent as well.

Thanks for the interesting video, and good food for thought!

I find it interesting that he identifies eroticism as something sacred, then fails to identify the concept of transgressing against taboo, which I think many people find to heighten eroticism, also as sacred. It seems to me like a failure to separate fantasy from reality.

When you roleplay a scenario with someone, it is acting, which itself is an artistic expression and something creative.

Now don't get me wrong, a lot of mainstream porn is formulaic and boring because they all flirt with breaking the same standard taboos in the same formulaic ways, but I don't think there's anything morally wrong with it conceptually.

The problems occur when people are unable to distinguish that those acts should only be done with prior discussion and consent. Mainstream Christians really need to learn some lessons from kink communities.

Me too, Japan, me too.

Nobody's mentioned this one yet, perhaps because it's a bit obscure, but Vib-Ribbon (PS1) has such a unique and endearing OST. I never played the game, but I heard one of the songs and got totally hooked.

Pack it up boys. Just one comment, and the thread's already over.

They were burning money to gain market share and now they're jacking up the price? Shocking, I say, truly shocking.

Is what I would've said if I didn't read the article, but it addresses that pretty well. The jist is VC went in with expectations of greatly decreasing costs, which is happening with older models, but nobody wants to use older models.

So, costs are actually going up, and the bubble will keep swelling, I guess.

You're welcome!

Yes, I think that's generally pretty accurate. That's why when a vtuber graduates (leaves their corporation, that is) even though they'll have a new avatar, (usually the IP is owned the corp) they'll often still keep most of their fans.

I mean, in a twisted way...

^That's ^kinda ^funny.

I'm not an apple fanboy, but Steve Jobs really understood why and how huge corporations ended up making shit products. I think that he played a huge roll in making them stay as design focused as they were.

Here he is succinctly explaining the issue: https://youtube.com/watch?v=P4VBqTViEx4 (2:30)

A few of those even have actual real live victims, unlike video game porn. This whole debacle is truly absurd.

Ours will attempt to get his butt to eye level, and start wagging the tail to smack you in the face. It makes me crack up every time.

Just getting around to trying it now. Will update with further info.

Very first impressions:

Yep, its sexo pokemon snap! If you're into furry or pokephilia, and enjoy photography, this'll probably be a fun time. It seems like it is more anthro focused though, not that I'd be a good judge of any of this or anything. >_>;

Right off the bat, the walking animation is very janky, but otherwise it seems surprisingly polished. The tutorial is a bit info dumpy, but it's not that overwhelming.

Just starting actual gameplay now.

Edit 1: Managed to soft lock myself on the very first quest. Got stuck in a tent flap. Lol. Fixed with a reload.

Edit 2: Now I can't find this expedition log for the 2nd part of the first quest. This does not bode well. I swear I should work in QA, as I can't find anyone who's had this problem.

I'm giving up for tonight. It kinda feels like nobody play tested this.

Sure, I could try! It's still a bit confusing since it was mostly just entertainment for me until very recently.

It's a combination tbh. Obviously a lot of it is acting, and you never know exactly how genuine your oshi really really is, but their personality, tastes, and sense of humour all shine through. It'd be generally pretty tough for it to be a complete facade and for them to still seem genuine.

Then again, you never know. I've heard there were some VTs who did a complete 180 in personality, for example. I think it'd be hard to not notice some signs, but strong feelings can severely cloud judgement, so who knows.

The character's design and mannerisms are also pretty important, though. I think a lot of the time the VTs will want to play a character that's kinda an idealised version of themselves. If they see themselves as cute or cool or sexy, they'll play up those attributes.

As for knowing stuff about them, I think it also varies from VT to VT. Some are more willing to share aspects of their personal life than others. The one I fell for is quite open about her life, but I'm someone who highly values honesty and integrity, so I guess that tracks.

So I think to answer your question, personally for me it's 70/30 them vs their character, but that's my supposition. I imagine for others, it could vary quite a bit too.

Sorry, but that's a secret. I'd rather not publicly out my degeneracy level, dayo ne. (Even though my oshi is actually very wholesome.)

Weirdly. I caught feels for a vtuber recently (completely unexpectedly) and now feel suddenly motivated to improve my life. It also feels like I got hit by truck with emotions that have been nonfunctional for several years.

Parasocial relationships are tough, as they can never be fully reciprocated, and dealing with that feels like it's going to be a bit stressful. That's also precisely why I'd avoided them and thought myself immune, but apparently not. Lol

Is Sapphire Safari... a furry porn version of pokemon snap??? I'm going to try it for shits and giggles because I adore pokemon snap. Wish me luck.

It solves it like a pack of flextape solves the titanic's water incursion problem.

This is just treating a symptom of the underlying fractures in the capitalist foundation.
