Does NBR really matter if the sister is still beaming with brocon energy? Sure, being related by blood is ideal, but if the siblings are highly compatible with each other then isn't that just as good?

Everyone knows half-sibling romance is the best.

 No.129013

I like it when siblings who don't know they are siblings end up together, dating all that, and then find out they're actually siblings. One of them is panicking and wants to run away while the other still wants to hold on to the relationship and has to do everything she can to get her partner back.
It's like incest without the incest. Perfectly rational to keep going.

I like it even more when it's just straight up incest incest from two siblings living together though. They love each other so much they just can't hold back anymore. Cute...

Alright, so I'm going to make an attempt at a Let's Play thread of what will surely be a fantastic game. I played the original Dungeon Travelers 2 on Vita and it was the last physical game I ever bought (remember when we could buy and own media?) It's truly an amazing game for many reasons. Fantastic characters, great classes, great boss battles and spectacularly frustrating dungeons. Its sequel, Dungeon Travelers 2-2, came out years later, but unfortunately it never received a translation.
Now, a decade later it did received a surprise translation and release on PC. It was going to be on Steam, but those prudes backed out. I'm sure it's related to the lewdness, as Steam only has room for stuff like Sex with Furry Hitler 2 or War Crime Simulator 2023. Instead it got a release on one of those gacha/freemium sites where it feels like you get malware just by loading the page, so I will instead be using the version found on nyaa.
If Aquaplus actually wanted money I'd be willing to buy figures and stuff from them, but nope, they don't. If I traveled to Japan I could get some crappy keychains if I timed it right and found one of their "pop up" stores, but that's about it. Okay, back to the game:

This game is a "what if" scenario at the end of Dungeon Travelers 2 if the final battle was lost. There's a Demon Queen that wants to corrupt and conquer humanity and blahblah that part isn't very exciting. Since the characters are the of the highlights (Aquaplus is involved after all) I'll give a brief introduction of each character before I start the game.

Tamaki is great. It's early in her route so it's just fully silly and fun, but I saw glimpses of her kindness in Sasara's route.
I bet I''m going to enjoy this route a lot!

Tamaki's route was way too short.
Initially I thought it might be the "time flies when you're having fun" effect since I'm prone to ignoring the outside world when I get into these, but no, it was definitely not something that I should have been able to get through in such little time.
I don't understand... she's a major character and she features prominently in official art. This was waaaaay too short. Some of her scenes were even shared as you can see on the "map" here with Konomi: >>126910. Then on other days I actually had to choose the 'go home' option because there simply wasn't any event with her. Huh?

But, I guess enough complaining about the length. It was a really nice and heartwarming story as expected. Unlike Sasara's route the confession was not until the very end, with no regular scenes as boyfriend and girlfriend apart from the short epilogue scene hinting at the future. This is something I strongly dislike, but I guess it's not too unusual. The climax of the story that contained the confession and love scene was quite long and emotional! If you count the pre-sex parts the scene had 7 CGs not counting variations, so that was quite impressive. But... I wanted more time with her....

Yeah, that would have been fun. Spending time together as a couple was completely missing; a nice continuation of the story and celebration of love would have been wonderful. Instead I'm simply taken to the title screen and encouraged to start the process over again with a different girl. It's wrong! It's cruel!
I don't know if writers think that there needs to be the "conflict" and pursuit in order for the story to be engaging, but it's definitely not true. Well, it's been 20 years so hopefully they know better by now.

Finished Karin's route. These routes feel short.
Maybe Sasara's route was the one that was longer than the others, or maybe it just felt that way because it was far more dynamic and dramatic.
Karin is a paranormal/UFO/etc-obsessed girl with a teasing/playful personality, but the route didn't really highlight the paranormal stuff much. Why is it that it was on Sasara's route that there was paranormal club event (with Yuuji and the others) where we searched for an alien(?) at the school (and I found her) but the similar event for Karin was just me bumping into a random girl for 20 seconds? The hypnosis event even worked on Sasara while in Karin's route I had to play along. Strange...
It panned into regular romantic-type stuff quite fast with the paranormal club in the background, which was enjoyable, but I was expecting a bit more zaniness since she started out zany and was also very zany in Sasara's route. It was cute and enjoyable, but I just didn't feel any connection to her. The thing with these stories is if I don't feel any connection to the girl then everything becomes less remarkable.
Maybe it was a mistake to do Tamaki's route so early, and also Sasara's since it was very emotional by comparison.

Current objective* route rankings:

1. Sasara
2. Tamaki
3. Karin

Tamaki is my clear favorite so far, but I have to admit that Sasara's route was far more fleshed out with conflict and resolution and a whole host of emotions and character stories. But, the climax of Tamaki's story was truly wonderful and she's the one I feel most connection to. I'm also extremely bothered with the knowledge in Tamaki's route that she came back for me after we pledged our love as kids (although "I" didn't realize it) and the whole reason I'm bad with girls is because I subconsciously love Tamaki. Every other route is me rejecting this beautiful story of a love which lasted for years even across a distance. I... this REALLY bothers me and I think it tainted Karin's route for me. Tamaki is suffering...
I think I'll save Komaki's route for last since she is the other character that features prominently, and Konomi will be second to last. But... Tamaki...

Possibly true, but it's very basic stuff.
Hori hori knives seem more like a 'maintenance' tool whereas specialty stuff is used when you need to do a bunch of it in a row. Something like a tool for playing seeds seems quite extravagant unless it's your job. People really seem to swear by these things so I guess I'll see if I feel the same way.

I have lost my swiss army knife but it's pretty useful. It is mid at everything it does but it's useful to keep on you when you need it and that's its main function. However I dislike that it doesn't have a screwdriver. They should make a version that has a screwdriver instead of corkscrew.

Screwdrivers are pretty common attachments, I think.
As for the corkscrews... I guess the Swiss Republic is in the general wine-drinking region, so it's probably a necessity.

They say be the change you want to see, and that if you like something you should support it. So I preordered the MahoAko BD boxes including the limited edition one with the Baiser fig. Here's hoping we get more series that similarly strive for greatness and ecchi in the future.

https://www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/gp/product/B0CSKQYYDF

Kinda wish I had money 10 years ago like I do now to freely spend on BDs... Could've started amassing a collection a whole lot earlier and I'm sure there's a bunch of limited edition ones that I'll never be able to get my hands on. The effect buying them would have towards the old production would probably be minimal as well. Though, if I were to venture forth and try to make up for lost time while NEETing around does /qa/ know of any good place to find older stuff, or is it just eBay and Amazon? On that topic too, how much into merch or BD buying is /qa/?

"What, indeed, is money?" I asked.

She flipped her long auburn hair with the casual elegance of a spider walking among snakes, and began to speak.

"Currency is a system that man has devised in order to give his efforts-- which you and I understand are ultimately meaningless on the astral scale, but the thrashing of a fly whose legs have yet to be torn off--"

(I recalled that like the dinosaurs, humanity would eventually be destroyed by some mundane natural occurrence like a meteor: we were too insignificant for gods to take notice of.)

"--value. The wealth number, such as it is, can be increased by work and decreased in exchange for goods and services, like our morning tea and the maid who brings it to us."

And indeed, the frills she wore. I understood this concept. It was like the use of male reproductive liquids in the magical world. In a corner of my mind, I began a series of calculations that would eventually result in my magical wealth number.

Every now and then people like to talk about future human evolution, that humans hundreds of thousands and millions of years from now humanity may be a completely new species that does not resemble a modern human any longer. Do you think so?

Personally, I'm inclined to believe that evolution is like language. When there is a strong social fabric connecting one person and community to the next, languages evolve very slowly. When that cohesion breaks down, languages tend to diverge and evolve. I think evolution is probably something like that, and within our broader interconnected world, humanity will probably evolve more slowly together and so maybe that human born hundreds of thousands and millions of years from now will resemble us much more than others like to suggest.

How come we haven't evolved out of needing sleep?

i'm not sure the reasons behind the evolution of sleep are entirely clear but it's widely agreed it's pretty important stuff

 No.127219

>>127217
From what I understand, sleep serves a few functions, that we know of. First is detoxification. While you're awake, toxins build up in the brain, and restful sleep allows the body to detoxify the brain. The second is memory consolation. It seems that during sleep our brains essentially go through a categorization process where things that happened during the day that were in your "medium-length" memory get turned into long-term memories. Third is healing. Wheen you sleep your body releases hormones that allows for you to heal.

I'm pretty sure those are the main reasons. I'm just a layman though.

There is also a more indirect reason for sleep: Nights.
It's just energy-efficient to go into a energy-saving mode in a time when it's cold and dark and it's difficult to spot the resources you want, or avoid the predators to whom you are the resource.

 No.127221

>>127217
Because there has never been a random mutation in our evolutionary line that allowed someone to survive without sleep, or if there were that person was unable to pass those mutations on long-term.

I don't think it would work. If you were in space between the Moon and the Earth, the Moon would take up more of your field of vision so you wouldn't see the Sun's corona like you can from Earth. You'd still be able to see the partial eclipse happening though. The type of orbit matters, however. You would have to be in a geostationary orbit, orbiting the Earth at the same rate that it spins, for the eclipse to happen at the same time as it does on Earth. Otherwise you could probably observe the Moon eclipsing the Sun pretty often. The Internation Space Station, which is in low Earth orbit, for instance, makes 16 orbits around the Earth every 24 hours.

 No.127200

>>127199
If you are going to space for an eclipse, there is no reason why you should have to stay between the Earth and the moon. All that is required is that you find a circular body that you can use to just obscure the sun with, (meaning you need to be the right distance from that body).
That could be the moon, it could also be Earth itself.

This year was the first time I ordered groceries online and had it delivered to the door. It's really weird and feels futuristic. It's not good for everything, such as wanting to actually look at raw vegetables or just browsing, but it's really nice. I even ordered some frozen yogurt to see what would happen and it came in some layered cardboard pouch thing that did a great job of keeping it cool. There's also subscription options so it happens automatically, but I think I'm going to hold off on doing that for now. I've also started ordering some bulk cereal and protein bars on amazon and it seems pretty efficient. I think I'm going to look up to see if Costco supports this stuff.
When I told my mom about it she said this stuff is bad for society because people need to go out and socialize and I don't think she's wrong exactly, but not everyone enjoys being surrounded by people. *cough*

Have you done this stuff before? I think I'm late the party in trying it.

I don't order groceries online, but this isn't true at all from my experience. I live close to the store so I just do the few minutes walk at non-peak hours, but I have tried it a fair bit.
If your groceries are at risk of being stolen, you live in a bad neighbourhood. That's the real problem. You don't have to use an app, there's a simple shopping website online. You can schedule the delivery time period and choose between delivery at door (ring doorbell, not allowing it to be set at doorstep if you're not home), or delivery at doorstep (ideal for hikis to take inside a few minutes after delivery man leaves).
The store is very good at displaying what's in stock and ready to deliver today/tomorrow or what will cause there to be a delivery delay.
I never had a bad experience with the service I used anyways, but I do live in a small country. It's not particularly expensive either, but I prefer just going to the store than planning ahead. It's a good service to have though, I used it a lot during 2020.

 No.127122

My parents used to do this, but I don't like it, personally. This kind of service is really only possible because of underpaid and overworked labour. If delivery drivers had better working conditions then no one would pay for it. Even if you ignore the worker's rights angle, the delivery drivers, in my experience, have such tightly wound schedules that if you're near the end of their route the delivery can be extremely late.

How is your sleep routine? I'm thinking I need to improve mine. Strangely I've found that having my little tablet thing playing a youtube speedrun history video helps me get sleepy faster. My theory is that it interrupts my thinking and allows my brain to turn off faster. It doesn't increase the amount of sleep I get, but at least it starts earlier so there's less wasted time doing nothing in bed.

Used to do the same with playing a YouTube video in the background trying to sleep. Recently though, feel like I've come to a realization on (my) sleep.
1. As long as I'm not thinking about something that's plausible in the future or a regret of the past, it does not count as a thought that keeps me awake; have been able to fall asleep within ~10 minutes of turning off my phone recently.
2. Used to think alarms didn't work for me, but seems like as long as I haven't accumulated any "sleep debt" the past 2-3 days, and as long as my sleeping hours for that session is >=6 hours, the alarm wakes me up. Have had cases where only sleep debt was the factor; but haven't tried that theory because sleeping <6 hours is already a cause of sleep debt. Also, have somehow trained myself to wake up after exactly 6 hours.
Think I've been getting my sleep schedule under control recently, 10 minutes give or take.
For waking up, the 90 minutes cycle seems to be true/working; hence my sleep time of 6 hours (90 * 4 minutes).

Well, if you're able to choose what you think about you're far more advanced than me. It would require conscious effort on my part which is probably even worse. I've been doing the youtube nonsensical documentary/review thing now for a while and I think it's working pretty well. The key is that it can't be too exciting or interesting, which I guess does count for most of youtube.

Why play something competitive if you are not going to be the best? or among the best, at least.

¨For fun¨ is the obvious answer but then you have a big skill gap between players. I don't play competitive online games anymore because I haven't been able to find an answer to this. I don't want to be a pro or anything, just good enough to think of myself as ¨good at the game¨. Whatever that game might be.

Instead, I've been playing Prominence Poker and MahSoul because those games are luck based and I can listen to a video or do something else while playing.

What do you think?

I don't know. Probably. I was mainly into speed running Mega Man because I liked doing TAS runs. Then I'd take what I'd learned playing a game frame-by-frame and try to apply it to normal speed.

There is a lot of debate about what is and isn't a glitch as well. For example, in Mega Man 2 you can modify falling speed using the pause button. This can allow you to take a route you couldn't normally reach. It isn't really considered a glitch since pausing is a normal part of the game. But some people might argue otherwise. So most of the rules are made up and arbitrary.

Mega Man 9's offical leaderboard for speed runs didn't list your actual time either. It only counted time when the game was actually running. If you were sitting at the weapon select menu time was frozen. So a lot of people would pause and unpause over and over again to make the platforming portions easier. They changed this for Mega Man 10 by adding a feature from the SNES games where you could switch weapons without using the selection screen. Which was more "fair" but kind of ruined the fun for anyone that was used to the NES games and didn't like that feature. You could still select weapons from the menu like normal but now the clock ran the entire time you were in that menu. Which pretty much forced you to use the SNES way (shoulder buttons) if you wanted any chance of posting a good time.

I was going to show you some runs the guy I used to trade the record with did. But the originals are no longer on youtube. Someone edited them to remove the pause screen which is stupid because now the music is all screwed up. Most of the strategy isn't shown anymore because most of it revolved around when you paused and unpaused.

>It isn't really considered a glitch since pausing is a normal part of the game.
It's a glitch if the manipulation of your falling speed is unintentional behavior, or if the availability of the route was an oversight on the part of the developers.

But yeah, the important thing is that the community agrees on a specific set of rules, and if somebody discovers a new trick, the community needs to come together and come to a consensus on whether or not that is part of the accepted gameplay or cheating. That's what playing games is about: a shared set of rules.

It isn't considered a "glitch" in Mega Man 2 because they have what's called a "zipless" category. Which basically means any glitch outside of zipping through walls is okay. It's by far the most popular form of the world record.

The pause trick was so well known most people don't even bother to argue it since it isn't a massive advantage and people have discovered ways to get into those areas without it (excluding where it helps you zip). It's basically just re-starting your fall. It halts all momentum you've already built up and makes it so you're falling off an invisible platform. Most people avoid it now because it's much slower than just jumping normally. Since now we're down to timing this stuff by frames instead of seconds.

Yeah, they exist. It seems like it's a mixed bag and most people simply want the "best" at events and such, which leads to stuff like THIS where they enter a debug room and just teleport around scenes and it's the most boring thing imaginable. FF7 has been a buggy mess in these events for a long time, but this is a new low if you ask me. Yeah, it's faster than the runs where they actually play the game, so congratulations to them I guess.
Glitchless runs seem like a niche when compared to people simply wanting to beat it the fastest way possible.

I can't find it anymore because they take down old TAS runs off youtube now. But there used to be a really cool run of Rockman 1 where you're literally reprogramming the ASM as you play. It's almost impossible to do it on a real console because 9 times out of 10 it'll lock up. But with save states you can try thousands of times and sometimes get through.

By the time you get to Wily 2 the game is so fucked up it can't even render sprites anymore.

The first season of Genshiken is really good—made me wish my school had an anime club (with actual wotaku). The second season focuses way more on the characters and less on otaku culture, and the third one is mostly a romance anime with an (almost) all-fujo cast, so naturally the otaku stuff is more geared towards women in that one.

In terms of highschool mine had one in like 2014 before it became flooded with ironics 2 years after. That aside, before that happened my anime club didn’t have too many hardcore fans, many of them were a bit casual. I don’t remember that many shonen fans though, they were all nice. But I still felt alienated from mine. Guess that’s what happens when you’re a niche in a niche(?) That aside, I’ll stick with the manga instead of watching season 2 for now.

Yeah, if someone posts him on /a/ or /his it has to do with Japan and Christianity.

This one is a bit strange to me. It's referencing the Powerpuff girls artstyle along with a squid kid from Splatoon. There were previous Powerpuff girls references made before.

I remember those earlier times on the internet when referencing Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy was seemingly a requirement. Apparently it was a thing over in Japan as well?
