Personally, I think a lot of people don't like this because the ending is a downer, rather than because it's poorly done. Maybe not everyone, but a good portion.

No i dont like it cause the writing is shoddy.

But it's not? It's minimalistic on purpose, there's no need to know about the name of the boyfriend, what he has done wrong, it's irrelevant.

There's no need for details we can all understand that this is the classic, girl gets together with girlfriend(s) so she can get comforted because her guy is being dumb, mean or dense. An extra bonus here because the MC have feelings with the girl who really isn't going to leave her boyfriend.

There isn't a need to know anything else to understand the MC's feeling.

I think she's handled a little better than other lazy geniuses. The bizarre way she acts with mc, going from threatening strangling to biting to licking and kissing also shows there's something not quite working inside. Yeah it's still cliche but sometimes executing a cliche well is good enough.

It's cliché but it's entirely possible. This could another case of an high functioning autist or something similar. Most "geniuses" or people with a VERY high IQ tend to be lopsided when it comes their "intelligence". They usually have strong defects as well, usually related to social interactions but not always the case.

I guess it makes sense, to get something of great value some sacrifices have to be made and it's not different when it comes to brain usage/functions. You very rarely will encounter someone who "has it all".

I think this one has potential. And... I'm not entirely sold on the "lazy" genius.

Well, if she does not study at home and just sleeps at school then she totally is a "lazy" genius.

But this could turn out to be the super cliché "sleeping at school, part-time working because poor" type character. She can't join any clubs because of time constraint.

Have a hunch she's going to end up as a villain

She can't be a villain if she follows the system like a good girl! Anyhow, I highly doubt it. Maybe being used THE villain of this season, but she's not really that smart to be anything else than fodder.

Well, at least FFXIII is pretty cheap, so I wasn't really expecting much effort put into the port... Would have been way more pissed if it was 30+$ for the same thing. Though I still have to be able to play it, thanks to the game size and not too great internet connection, still have more than a full day to get it ready. ><

The thing is, based Durante is probably going to get it stable running 1080/4k in less than a day, as a single person. This goes beyond "really much effort". It's more like "no effort at all". Although one can only expect Japanese to look at computer as this weird thing only used for memos/emails and excel spreadsheets.

I'm glad they offered dual audio with japanese or english voice, but I'd rather we just had to download the desired language and not the full package. :/

This would of been so much easier had they have the English as default for international version and then have a free DLC that you can DL for the Japanese audio/lip sync.

Now the real question(s), nude mod/character mods when? And when can we have a mod that we save hope's mom and it's Hope that dies?

Oh and HD textures, let's not forget those.

There's definitively something wrong with G-Reco, i can't make any sense of episode 3

Tomino making sense? Oh boy...

Anyhow, I'm not sure but it feels like the grey haired research division guy is counting on Bellri to unlock the secrets of this whole thing. Highlight of the episode was that leopard(?) getting winded, 10/10 just for that.

I also watched Psycho-Pass S2 Ep1, stupid new girl is Gino 2V.0 "enforcers are not people hurr durr!"
Death, when?

From what little I've seen though a few rounds of Google, booting on 2v2s seems to be a mistake and it's meant to apply to 4v4 matches.

Even if that is the case, it's common tactic in any group PvP games to try to isolate one person and quickly remove him/her. I feel very strange about games that punish you for good play.

In other news, I'm tired of devs like this : http://www.vgchartz.com/article/251946/ubisoft-30-fps-feels-more-cinematic-60fps-not-important/

Being a PC master race I feel physically ill that these people can come out and say it. This is appalling and they call themselves game developers.

We've been able to do 60 FPS for so long and yet you have these doofus that shoot you these horrible game tech wise ( poor coding, bloated, poor optimization ).

Today FF13 PC port was released on steam ( lol after 5(?) years ). It was locked at 30 FPS / 720P, had a size of 50+ GB.

A kind soul posted a workaround for 1080P in 2 hours, fairly stable. Now I know, Japanese devs have no idea about PC, since Japan really doesn't care about anything but consoles, but still... This hurts the man.

I can sort of see what they're going for, but it seems an odd way to go about it.

I don't even understand why they'd even do that. It's a fighting game in which the objective is to "smash" the other team/player.

Why would you even have this feature?

Presumably it's to prevent experienced players bullying n00bs. It's better business if your new players aren't being frustrated out the door by being ganged up on. That's just my initial guess though, I don't have any details of what Nintendo has in mind.

Fighting games are always filled with perfectionists ready to smash your face in. I don't see why this feature is really useful, does smash not have a ladder system which pairs your against people near your skill level? This would really fix most problems.

It's hilarious that you get booted in a 2v2 for attacking one dude though, nintendo truly showing it's colour right now. Games for kids yo.

I don't even...

Ahaha I think the reason why this one-shot blew up instead of those two is because this is a lot tamer thus there is a wider audience.

There was a previous thread for Sensei. But there was so much vitriol that it went bye bye.

Something good I haven't seen brought up here is Shingeki no Bahamut Genesis. Great animation, clever action sequences, and probably the funniest show of the season. Not yuri at all, though

Love the animation and the battle sequences as well, but nothing really happened. I need more meat until I can say I like it.

(I can't believe some idiot on the last page actually pretended this story was anywhere close to the worst stuff on this site. Redirect all your complaints to Oshikko Sensei please. lol, Jesus Christ.)

It is truly a shame the first thread has been lost to us, it was really something.

Praise Godhouse, First episode of Kiseijuu was great.

Good hand animation
Transformations aren't censored at the very least
Dat doge
Good OST
WUB WUB
Healing ED

Just watched Build Fighters live with some people from /m/, good stuff right there
Group watching stuff is so fun really.

Group watching is so fun.

Soon I'm going to be watching Kiseijuu / Parasyte with /a/. Much hope that it isn't too censored considering it's a late timeslot.

I finally remembered to read the last volume of "The Legend of Mother Sarah". I felt like it was a good ending, stopped where it should really.

One thing is for sure, mom's are tough.

Wait, isn't this the end? Why is it still listed as ongoing? Some extras or something left?

Looks like chapter 42 wasn't the end, but rather the beginning of the end ( last arc ).

Oh man... Mature Ran has such sad eyes, what happened to my poor Ran :( .
I guess I expected something like that, but still...

Although let's face it even if Bioware is a bit clumsy with their romance options, at least it's romance.

This how I feel about most romances in video games. RPGs are inserting them up because folks want em, but they end up being just a side thing ( which they should in all seriousness, these games are not dating sims ).

I feel like having no romance and just using the power of imagination to be so much better, but that's just my take on it.

Rather enjoyed this, and I'm the sort of person that hates any kind of Y chromosome in my yuri manga :p.

Careful here.

The evil in me sort of wanted her to pass on as they acknowledged their relationship and all.
Maybe it's just cause of "Fujimi Lovers".

Well, if you're gonna go to the Bible it's all Old Testament since Jesus didn't seem to really care one way or the other. But to the mindset who's going to use that to argue against SSM, if Jesus didn't explicitly deny something in the OT, then he was approving and, if it meets the prejudices of the person interpreting, outright boosting that point of view.

If I may... The stance of anti-homosexuality is both in the OT and the NT.
Not really arguing anything, it's just that if it wasn't, us gentiles wouldn't really care about so much.

lol I just wish there was an IQ/aptitude test requirement to have ANY kind of power.

I know you were only thinking of politicians, but it occurred to me... Being a parent is absolutely wielding power, it's time to test folks for parenthood before they conceive. I can already see it "Japan new low birth stats, it's in the negative!"

Thanks for being super respectful with your response, by the way. Totally wasn't expecting that.

Nothing you've said needed that, what you've said is true. The only thing was that the tone you used was a bit on the "offensive" so to speak.

But as a long time internet and political forum person, I've learned to refrain from falling into that trap. As soon as you start attacking people for their belief, belittling them, you've ensured the debate/discussion will add nothing of value as you go forward.

Sol Falling, I could not agree more!

And nobody has problems with, lets say, a 26/27 year old man dating a 15/16 year old girl? Innocent until proven guilty? In many countries that is statutory rape.

People have issues with it, but this work has a lot of issues, girl had/has it rough. It's hard to cover everything all at once.

You're right that in some countries this is statutory rape. But in this case, if she is 16, she can legally marry him with consent from one of her parent. Considering the father just bought a new house with step-mom #9000(?) I'm sure he's so happy to be able to get rid of her.

That makes the boyfriend a predator. Guilty.

If what we're shown and what she said is true, you are absolutely right.

I think it's perfectly legit to think of all men as self-absorbed horndogs who're controlled by their dicks to the point that they can't even be accused of "thinking". Guilty until proven innocent, lol.

I thought it was innocent until proven guilty! Oh well, that's just in the law, fact is we discriminate and form our opinion and previous experiences incredibly quick, humans are so judgemental usually. It doesn't have to be about guys or girls really, it can be about anything. It's hard for me to assume another guy is not a douche when he's wearing sunglasses at night, I try real hard to not think of him like that when I first meet him.... But, it's quite hard.

The situation itself is pretty disgusting (unfortunately it strikes me as pretty realistic), but in such scenarios IMO it's actually preferable for women to come to the conclusion that men are absolutely worthless

If you start with the idea that they're dumb, then you aren't hurt or surprised when they are. It's pretty much my exact philosophy in life, assume the worse and you can only be pleasantly surprised when you get proven wrong. I do that with everything, from video games, tv shows to relationships.

I'd say it's basic sense/human nature that given any significant form of desire, human beings have the potential to be pieces of shit. Throw in any structural imbalances of power and what you have is a recipe for violence. That older brother doesn't hold any sympathy from me because no matter what, he sits in an inherent position of power over Rio, and he took advantage of it. What Rio meant when she said that she wouldn't care if all men just fucking disappeared from the world, is that in such a case, she might've had a chance at living an actual life of decency (not being forced to give herself to men in order to protect herself, and then coerced by her body into enjoying it). I can't blame her.

Agreed, give the opportunity to do something without the law getting involved and most people would do many more things. Just think about all the times in your life you might of done something if you weren't scared of the consequences? Oh man, all those candies at the store when I was 6-7... I think I did it once, peer-pressure from classmates. But that grumpy old man at the front is sort of to scary to do it more.

Considering she lies a lot I'm not entirely sure he forced himself on her, who knows really. It's/he's not really important, what is important really in this work is her attitude and past experience.

All in all, although I don't really like the story in general because the blond is not really a person I'd want to hang out with but I can understand why she's the way she is.

When you are hurt by people, you either use that to your advantage, or you don't interact with them ( this is usually has an adult ). Women who stayed single because they were raped, and did not engage in any relationship with men are pretty common. Some try to slowly break down the wall they built themselves but some are just unable to heal and just give up. It's a sad thing really.
