This is pretty much the saddest thread at this point.

I mean. Star Citizen got a shitload of money because people wanted it. No one was interested in Indivisible to the point where the crowdfunding failed and they keep soldiering on like a trainwreck in slow motion by adding characters from other indies in a desperate attempt to get noticed and pumping up pledges from people who did. The fact they actually have a publisher who told them to get crowdfunded reeks of people who have no idea how to do business getting strung along by people who do.

At least they should have the dignity to say "No one wants the game. We'll take that L and move on" instead of stringing everyone along on some insane goose chase to get a game that was never going to be funded, funded. Having gaf members do your propaganda, marketing and social media push is cultish as well. Especially with them all talking about the "Thunderclap"

They extended their campaign by a number of days (I want to say 20, but I'm not sure) when it was clear that they weren't going to meet their goal. Apparently you can do that on Indiegogo.

Thanks for the details. I'd say I understand the sentiment but yeah. Sometimes you lose with crowdfunding, especially with such a high goal. You can't force mass enthusiasm.

The thing is, this is basically Lab Zero's last chance. If they don't make this work, the company crumbles and everybody heads out to look for a new job. I can see why they're pushing this as hard as they can.

The vast majority of any and all media is either bad or specific to someone's taste.

I love honest, fun and dumb entertainment when it comes to anime. No little girls, no kids, give me an awesome amount of dumb and I'll be entertained.



The majority of western cartoons are comedy oriented or superhero oriented  :zzz

Having your opinion on anime based on Dragon Ball Z would be like someone's opinion on TV drama being based around Dexter. Or if someone thought all rap/hip hop was like Eminem.

Love or hate what you want breh. Just don't be surprised if you watch something shitty, and its shitty.

Why do they do this? A guy is just happy to turn his penis into a towel holder. No one's harvesting smegma to make something edible and putting it on the internet.

I did play the first DOA volleyball game on the original Xbox, and I dug the actual gameplay way more than the T&A. But this series isn't oriented around just volleyball, its half volleyball/mingames and half ogling at digital titties and ass.

The first one at least contained a decent V-Ball game and the characters were clearly over 18 though.

DoAX3 had Marie Rose as the most voted for character to appear in the game

I've been rooting for the thing to fail, personally. Just because they're asking WAYYYYY too much for something nobody clearly wants. It's stalled with like one or two extension days giving ZERO new cash for far and people are deluding themselves with "BUT JUST WAIT FOR THE LAST FEW DAYS! IT'LL BE FUNDED GUYS!" when the best a day has done is like $1,000 or so.

Also if you are complaining on the internet about these kind of games you can go fuck yourself too. Sorry ass mofos scared of skin yet no complaints where you can blow up anything and everything to fucking bloody chunks in most games but that's just A-OK. Fuck this bullshit mentality and fear.

Well, them putting the "prototype" up on PS4 for a few days with no Steam was strike one. Now they've put it up on Steam and while it's an interesting idea (fuse FF13-3/Lighting Return's combat system in with Metroidvania exploring) it's not something that demands me to give them some cash, IMO.

I feel bad because I'm on the "eh, if it is on Steam sale" side of the fence instead of "yeah, I'll give you cash" side.

A character in a work of fiction you are so enamored of you consider her your "wife" ("waifu" being an imitation of the stereotypical way a Japanese would say the english word.).

Quote
A term coined by Otaku and Weeaboo alike for their 2D significant others; predominantly anime and video game characters. A Waifu, in contrast to a harem, is the love between one man and his one and only Waifu. You treat your Waifu with the utmost respect and courtesy and most refuse to even fap to their beloved, seeing the act as an insult to the non-existent woman they have committed themselves to.

A spin-off term "Husbando" followed for Fujioshi who feel similarly towards male characters.

Wife and husband turn into waifu and husbando because that's how they're transcribed into Japanese. It's weeb shit mostly, but you see people talk about western media the same way sometimes. Mass Effect's Garrus is some people's husbando, etc.

:beli The Extreme spin-offs aren't as jack-off material as people make them out to be. There's a decent volleyball mini-game in between the pool hopping and casino games. That and while there's T&A you mostly dress each girl up, butter them up for risque things like the Venus to be accepted/dating sim elements.

She looks exactly like I expected her to look.

She has a lot of armpit hair. More than me currently.

I thought yeasts only grow down there with poor hygiene though so I don't know what exactly she's proving assuming she knows. That she's basic (pun intended)?

Bad hygiene leads to an imbalance (too much) and smell, yeast naturally happens down there.

You can have vaginal yeast overgrowth from other issues though like anti-biotics, diet, pregnancy, hormonal imbalance.

The best part about any of it is they get real upset when you call any of that stuff porn, even if you're not being judgmental about it but simply calling shit what it is.

It's always kind of grossed me out more than anything, this insistence that it's more than that. That's the delusional part right there.
