SEASON 2 HYPE FOR DOLPHINS AND MAXIMUM GAR.
I'll be playing this game too since Taimanin Asagi's gone stale for me and as fun as AoI is...there's no H and that's a goddamn crime(still be playing that though).
I'm enjoying the game so far, seems like there's quite a bit going for it.

Hiroyuki Imaishi comments on drafting Kill la Kill: “I can’t wear sailor uniforms with this kind of story!” This is the kind of guy that would make TTGL and P&S.
Even though I can't relate with people sexualizing Kill la Kill(until Zone gets on that), I'm sure your over-complicating things since you can still distinguish between reality and fiction.
I do it for the outfits all the time. Fighting games by Arc System Works in particular:

What sucks about getting Christmas Vassago is that I have to wait an entire year to Evolve it(If it even shows up next year) and she doesn't have the free high potions. But yeah I'll take those two 5*s(the other being Orias).
So it turns out there's a player referral system where both parties involved can get 10 AP potions and 10 BP potions for free and a chance at a free 4* "The White Light Nevil" for both people involved.
This chick in case you were wondering.
My invite code is 1noohs for anybody wanting to reap the rewards, to find your referral code just scroll through the advertisements on the home page.

Alright the union I am leaving was full of lvl.70s with giant racks and tight bums. YOU GUYS WON'T MAKE ME REGRET THIS RIGHT?
Also I just figured out this was like Taimanin Asagi Arena, where it's best to waste as much BP/AP as humanely possible before leveling up. Needless to say doing the event first was a horrible idea as I jumped 7 levels.
I'm interested in your Union Odamust.
Game is very fun and lenient early on which is always nice to see. What's a shame is that you can't be part of several Unions at the same time because I'm having a bit of trouble finding people for raid bosses..

Fujisawa's actions towards Takeshima were immoral. She fed sensitive information to Takeshima's parents with the intent of stirring them into harming her and succeeded in causing that harm while also showing no remorse over that harm. The act was manipulative and caused pain to the victim, that's immoral enough for me.
I tolerate Takeshima's mistakes more than Fujisawa's, not condone them. As I said before "it won't undo what has been done" and neglect of her duty to protect Fujisawa is certainly one of her more critical mistakes.
Fujisawa did not say said she was the only one receiving abuse from her classmates, only that she was receiving excessive abuse and it's possible that Nomura could be her replacement in the event of her absence. It's implied but currently there is no evidence.
Notably Takeshima's interruption ceased their bullying at the time, why not just let them continue bullying Fujisawa then tell them to clean up afterwards? It's because she wanted to stop them in the act. Her thoughts at Club Moon reflected her motivation to act in defense of Fujisawa, she clearly showed then that she was somewhat willing to step in for Fujisawa. Therefore while the reverse can be true, it's entirely possible Takeshima was secretly helping Fujisawa there. I'm lead to believe a bit of both.
In the end, I don't believe anyone in this manga is morally just. I believe that (putting it roughly)Fukushuu Kyoushitsuu is a collection of undesirables committing actions unfavorable by societal norms.
I'll listen to what you have to say next(if you'll allow it) and I'll stop there. I don't think this manga is worth the effort and I'm satisfied with your performance.

Blaming her because she COULD'VE done something at one point is insidious.I do not understand why you can blame Takishima for not standing up to her parents when Fujisawa did not react appropriately to her bullying especially after you stated that is insidious.
Blaming Fujisawa for being unable to fix her own problems when a rational solution existed is reasonable. Why not go into law enforcement protective custody if someone threatened her life? Why pursue this suicidal vengeance when she still has a future ahead of her? What does this vengeance accomplish in the end besides ruining more lives? What Fujisawa's suffered to doesn't justify the mistakes she's made, especially with what they've done to others.

Just like you brought up the point of the possibility that someone COULD have done something, Prez could've done something about her parents. And again, this doesn't not absolve her from her ethical duties. Not even gonna touch on the immorality of abandoning someone and knowing that it'll make their lives even more miserable.I am more willing to tolerate Takeshima's mistakes than Fujisawa's. Because she is more than willing to atone for her mistakes, it won't undo what's been done but it's still a step in the right direction and better than nothing(which could have meant a world's difference with Fujisawa's isolation). On the other hand, Fujisawa desires suffering and misery to fulfill her personal vendetta that will undoubtedly sow more chaos.
cruz737 wrote...
Again this goes back to mental state of a person in constant despair.Even if her life is terrible that doesn't mean she has the right to make other people's lives the same, not with her personal vendetta as the objective.
cruz737 wrote...
Comparison isn't apt. Already explained to you why it's not immoral. She neither urged her parents to abuse her, nor did she make class prez go to bars with strange men. If a young boy reports reports and identifies a crook who shot his father in a home robbery, is it somehow wrong if he knew the crooks life was going to be more difficult? In the end of the day she was a spiteful anonymous(presumably) tipper with credible information, not a malicious zoo keeper.The boy is held liable for ruining another life despite doing the right thing. No one should be morally just in inflicting suffering, punishment is a tool to be used out of necessity and the weight behind helps ensures that. I'm not saying the boy should be punished but he shouldn't be proud of it.
In this case I'm not addressing the outcome, she fully intended on making her suffer by throwing her into harm's way. What is important is that Fujisawa wanted her to suffer in a cruel fashion. Why assume she would not want Takeshima's current predicament? She's not going to have any remorse when she learns of the results of her meddling and it's only going to further her resolve to ruin more lives.

Don't really care that you mourn. Just answer the question. Why is okay to expect something from one victim of circumstance but not another?You asked why people show sympathy for one but not the other. I showed that I mourned for both. But sure I'll answer that question. It's because the circumstances are different, you yourself acknowledged that Takeshima is leagues better than that rapist.
cruz737 wrote...
Her authority and standing are directly related to the harassment of others.I'm willing to bet that class doesn't just pick on Fujisawa given their volatility, it's likely that Takeshima could has too many harassment cases on her hands(on top of her regular burdens). Or are you implying that she's turning a blind eye to Fujisawa' suffering when she subtly stood up for Fujisawa when that classmate spilled a drink on her? Also Takeshima's authority only spreads to the classroom when she's there(which is probably rare considering her schedule), if she faced Fujisawa's more malevolent tormentors outside the school I doubt it would end well(assuming she even has the free time to do so).

Why are you so perfect.

I disagree.Well since you said "if it's established" then you've probably entertained the idea that it's not a classmate that pushed her into traffic but I'd rather hold on that thought for now. So I'll assume that it was one of the bullies.
The problem is they haven't given concrete proof of her powerlessness, only implied it from her side(which is obviously colored). Granted it's only two chapters in but somewhere down the line they need to show why she's powerless. Without evidence, I'm going to assume she handled this poorly if at all(with the reverse true). It's entirely possible that despite the tormentor's degree of maliciousness and cunning, she COULD have found a way out. I would have to see the degree of the tormentor's previous actions myself. This conversation feels a bit premature.
Ayana is being selfish
I'm not saying Ayana is being selfish for asking for help, I'm saying it's wrong for Ayana to seek vengeance on Takeshima (although the manga could make that interesting). Yes Takeshima did treat her like crap(while being under the weather) but Ayana still could have approached her in the future(maybe she did but it didn't go well? Show evidence). Regardless, a cut relationship is not grounds for ruining Takeshima's relations with her parents and society. Friends can forgive(and will as Takeshima showed) but what Ayana has done will scar Takeshima. Both parties were at fault there: Takeshima for honoring her promise to neglect Ayana and Ayana for not being compassionate when it mattered in the past and present.
didn't do much for previous harassment sessions
They already said Takeshima had a decent reason for neglecting Ayana that one time. She's got ALOT on her hands and while it's terrible that her friend was neglected as a result, it's far-fetched to say she didn't do much in the past when she comforted Ayana.
What about Ayana choosing not to make peace with Takeshima? I'm interested in you addressing that.
Even if she knew her parents were not only strict but possibly abusive, what they do isn't controlled by her.
If I threw a man wearing a coat of meat into a feral lion pit, I would not be innocent. Ayana set up the situation knowing full well that the consequences would cause suffering worthy of the pain she's felt. Regardless of the outcome, she meant harm.
It's not fair to say that one person should be in control of not being physically assaulted but then that we should be sympathetic to someone who couldn't stand up to her parents.
Well I mourn the victims and guilty in this case. I prefer not to speak for others.
I'm just confused as to why people are okie dokie with the first revenge but shocked at the 2nd one. They're very similar in concept. It's just that one person is a lot less terrible than the other.
Well it's person not people(I don't think anything in this is fine). You said it yourself, she's kinder than the previous victim. Takeshima was also not directly involved nor showed intention to bully Ayana. In moral standing, details and extenuating circumstances are incredibly important. I'll also blame the infectious white and black attitudes toward cheating for coloring people's judgement of the first victim.
I might be saying this prematurely, but I feel as though Ayana is supposed to be an antihero. Her actions are meant to offend the viewer but to what ends or effectiveness remains to be seen.
cruz737 wrote...
It's fine to be upset about losing friends but that does not justify Ayana punishing her for that(which I like). Takishima didn't make people bully Ayana after fighting with her, the bullies simply took advantage of that fact. Also why didn't Ayana try to make up with Takishima after that fight? Even if it wasn't her fault it should be obvious that Ayana was under a lot of stress and later on it was shown she was acutely distressed by Ayana's mistreatment. Ayana's bullying issue could have been under her own control, unless future circumstances elaborate on why she isn't in control-I'm almost certain Ayana's being very selfish in this pursuit of revenge. Could or could not be a bad thing.
Takishima's parents are actively trying to isolate her from society, the one thing that keeps her sane(as evidenced by her outbursts). The other guy can move somewhere else and start new, this girl will be lucky if she can even see somewhere else.
I agree with Sprite, it's pretty shallow on paper considering how much they've left up in the air and the tired bullying victim play but maybe this will play out right. I'll stick with it till I find better things.

I used to just sit in the late hours of the night and go through the soundtrack before I uninstalled this game. Someone always recommends this VN around Christmas time for a reason.
I STILL SCREAM AT THIS SHIT AFTER FOUR YEARS(ending spoilers)

Yeah my information was incomplete and it's good they honored their promise later, but the point still stands they did not plan on honoring their promise. I understand you don't want to start and that's perfectly reasonable.
@RBZ Riot feels like it could fall over at any moment with the competition from other MoBAs rising but somehow it still manages to cling to life. LoL will fall one day but that time may still be far off.
Yeah Dragon's Dogma is a good callback to the time when Dragons were more than flying fire lizards(doesn't help that everyone wants to be Skyrim now), even though I didn't play Dragon's Dogma for the story. I felt the combat was pretty nice since I liked doing things Shadow of the Colossus style while setting myself on fire.
Archer stated that the idea of inheriting the role of a martyr from another individual is flawed. The redemption will be what inheritor fantasized the ancestor to receive rather than what the inheritor truly desired, thus the inheritor will suffer from countless meaningless sacrifices and struggles for a redemption that does not save the inheritor. The feeling of laying to waste thousands of lives for nothing must be soul rending.
Oh man episode 12 is going to be awful.

Tell me more. The second part, too. I know jack shit about what Riot's up to.Basically Riot had a referral reward system where the highest tier reward grants an expense paid trip to Riot HQ to design a champion. Totalbiscuit reached that tier and they immediately took down the referral system, because they never expected anyone to reach that goal and their solution was to ignore Totalbiscuit's replies. They did the same to four other sponsors when they reached their own respective rewards involving developing a champion.
Riot's business model(apologies for spellcheck) is to keep things in constant flux before people can process them, as you can see by the aforementioned scandal and the constant patching they do. The problem is that because they keep things in constant change there's no reliability and people who expected certain things from them(champions, balancing and rewards) will be furious. I don't like this approach, it screams abuse and dishonesty.
What about the small timers guys? Indies these days are doing wonderful, wonderful things.

- Minatosoft: Majikoi A series fandiscs are bull and you know it.
- GIGA: Baldr Sky Zero never happened.

Oh you weren't banned. Congrats.
Yeah there's been about five people with Me!Me!Me! avis, three people who frequented IB used Me!Me!Me!(freak, yuri and Jacob) for some time. I could understand if Me!Me!Me! was practically flooding Fakku but complaining about three people is kind of silly and if this is related to other mediums Longevity frequents then just ignore them until it dies down.
To answer your question Longevity no there aren't enough people using mememe crap.
I think Hatred looks boring and the fuss kicked up by it is a farce, the important detail is that the farce was started by someone meaningful: namely Steam.
Pretty much I'll advocate TB's statement.

Technically Steam has the right to refuse service or promotion of a game but when you see games like Postal, Manhunt or similar games meant to star the protagonist as a mass murderer or psychopath on Steam and this game operating under similar context was denied service it's pretty obvious that Steam's taking liberties with that right. It's hypocritical for Steam to refuse that game but allow similar graphical content to exist on their service, it would also help if they actually made a statement rather than silently taking down the game.
Furthermore, suppressing the right for a someone to publish a game on Steam-Greenlight is counterproductive to allowing an indie studio to mature under Steam. Ironically Hatred's gotten more attention than it probably deserves with this fiasco which completely contradicts stifling this production.
Personally I think the game is awful, but it has the right to exist.
EDIT: Gabe Newell made a statement saying he's not responsible for what happened and has put Hatred back up on Greenlight.
