I was wondering if anyone had recommendations for shows or books or manga (or anything else) with really good dialogue.

Oyasumi Punpun

Too many content warnings to count.

Solanin, by the same author, also fits. 12 Days (by June Kim) is nice if you're into dreary, somber dialogue, broken up by long periods of silence. As for film, Inglourious Basterds has really impressive synergy between cinematography and dialogue, though I'm not sure if the dialogue stands on its own. I'd be interested to hear your own answers to your question though, bubbleteabird!

Even though I wanna know a) which post even was it? and b) the reasoning behind it? asking over Discord is gonna be kinda difficult, since, y'know, ever since my grandma got really sick almost 3 months ago (she's still sick to this day) I've lost access to the only device I had a Discord account active... Maybe I should open a new account?

Sorry, I didn't consider any of that, just recalled you had Discord...But of course! DMs always open, blahblahblah.

We should have Solo Leveling in Dynasty

It's on a list...somewhere.

How about "Why Did I, the MC Of Gal Game Jump Into A World Of Yuri Comic?"? It's interesting enough

Yeah but no. This one was licensied by WebComic and Digital licensiers don't really like getting their things upload elsewhere. Not to mention the manga in itself has gotten the short end of the stick and don't have a end per se.

Unfortunately any webtoon/webcomic/etc. involving a license is a risky proposition for us, so that one is unlikely!

no wonder there's no update on the app

I asked my brother if he'd want me to find some funny images here, and mentioned that there are even memes, and asked him if he knew Dynasty Reader has memes, BUT I almost said Dynasty-memes, and I found it hilarious, and that should be an official thing (probably as a tag for any image here that is a meme, lol).

How do you guys figure out someone has answered you or mentioned you on here? I dunno what else forum is the best to ask this question, so imma just ask it in this forum. Like to my knowledge there's no notifications on here (or maybe I've missed it)

Also hope that everyone had a good day. I had garlic bread for lunch today so it's been fantastic

In this night's episode of BV's Weird Thoughts:

Due to me not having first period in school on Fridays, I spent such a period last week sitting in the school hall, first re-watching some documentary on Mihai the Brave, and then (as well as at breaks between classes later in the day, and at home the Saturday after) re-reading Teiji ni Agaratera. As a result, ever since then, each time I think of one of them, I think of the other two as well.

Now, how often would you want episodes of this (basically posts with the title given on top of this post)?

there are no notifications because as far as I know there aren't @'s or any way to specifically direct a post to someone other than quoting them or typing out @username. Anyway, you can go to where you know your comment is and just manually read things after, sorry that that doesn't help much.

Alrighto, thanks for letting me know!

I have been watching Nanoha a lot recently, but once I got to ViVid I got really bored so I took like a month to finish it, and I can't even be bothered to start watching VivId Strike

Guess i should hold an apologize for the locking of the Childhood Friend Yuri(?) thread as I think i shouldn't have step out of my way to talk about matter that doesn't concerned me. I know now that i shouldn't talk lightly on delicate subject like Transgender and TERFs comments so i guess i would stop commentings on such subjects. I will honestly understand if i must face some consequences on any sorts.

Protip : one cannot be a TERF if they aren't feminist to begin with.

Joking aside, the Dynasty staff is, and, as far as I can remember, has always been holding a very adamant stance on trans-related topics: some might even remember some clear cases of bias with a user whose name started with vi. The best way not to get insta-banned, in this particular case, is merely to avoid stepping in any of those debates. It is always better to wait for the burning issues to cool down a bit. And so is abiding by the rules..!

Thanks for the recommendations, OrangePekoe! I looked up 12 Days, and the synopsis and themes are very interesting. I am adding it to my to-read list. Sorry for responding so late. I wanted to reply sooner but I was busy this week. For manga/anime, the Monogatari series, Nana, and Shōwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjū have good dialogue in my humble opinion. For films, I would say that I enjoy the dialogue in A Coffee in Berlin, Pulp Fiction, and Lady Bird. For plays, The Importance of Being Earnest. For books, A Song of Ice and Fire and After Dark (by Haruki Murakami).

I couldn't find anywhere to post about this: in just the last couple of months several cafes have their web filter banning Dynasty Reader for sex/porn (it's always the same message). Can anything be done? I use my phone's data in such cases but it's annoying. Writing this Dec. 30 2019 i have noticed it starting in November.

Can't they just ban entry to the NSFW titles and let us enter the rest of the site? Would be a lot more sensible. But, then again, I can't imagine people bothering to manually police Internet access, so it shouldn't be surprising that bots are gonna bot.

Most web filters ban the whole domains, not the content. Half of them also ban Pixiv - which is awful given some artists depend on it - but one worry is there is a marked tendency to equate LGBT and suggestive with being pornography. Sometimes the more inexpensive filters are the ones with a political agenda. It's an issue in schools and libraries but in a cafe, well, all you can do is go, I don't come here as often because I can't surf dynasty scans, I doubt that would sway them. Just wondered how, suddenly, Dynasty Reader got on their radar.

Unlike OP (I remember it like it was yesterday that I was the reply you made reply to that I'm replying to right now, tho I forgot who OP was, and for all I remember (that is, nothing), OP may even been you), I am yet to have such a problem. But yeah, it is more efficient and inexpensive to just block entire sites. What's weird about what you mentioned about political agendas: in a weird twist, despite LGBTQ+ rights still being a contentious issue in most Balkan countries, including my homeland, Montenegro, the cafés here (even one that's just a thinly-vailed extenction of my hometown's largest place of worship, an Orthodox cathedral just across the street from my place of residence) either don't have such filters, or, if they do, they don't consider Dynasty a site that should be blocked. That, or they're so sure that there are no people here that visit the site anyway, so blocking it isn't worth the time and effort (oh, if they knew just how so wrong they are; I know when I mentioned yuri and how I like it and read it on a regular basis, AND since the fact that I'm from the Balkans was obvious in my channel name (despite a change, it's still obvious today) in the comments of a video, a Bosnian said "someone who likes yuri? from the Balkans? preposterous!").
That said, the only suggestion I have for OP is they try some different cafés. It may work. How widespread such cafés whose Wi-Fi bots don't filter Dynasty Reader out depends on the political alignment of the owners, the tech-savvyness of the programmers, the quality of the filter and OP's place of residence.

^ Introversion and social anxiety.

BTW, not only have I read your previous post, but I even copied it and saved it to my phone's notepad, in case you delete it (which you did). The lack of a reply wasn't because of a lack of interest and care, but because of a lack of knowledge on what to do. I want to help, but don't know how to... I'm 100% sure my assumption that we're in different countries is correct and about 50% sure we're on different continents, and since I don't know how autism/asperger's and maybe depression are experienced by people suffering from them, I have little way to support you other than quietly cheering you on (and hopefully, up, too) online.
