Lol if it's not straight up fluff everyone loses their shit here

There's a difference between "not fluff" and "unhappy ending".

er . . wu? . . . anyone else think that's normal? You love someone so you decide to try and kill them when you find out/believe they are never going to be with you? Show of hands.

It's completely normal. Especially for yandere characters.

I don't know how this series can keep getting more and more ridiculously adorable, lol. You'd think it'd have hit some sort of point of critical cuteness where it would be physically impossible to become more adorable than it is.

You're an optimist aren't you? (:

Actually not really. I'm much more of a pessimist than that might make me seem. I'm just a weird pessimist who tends to act optimistic.

Also to be clear I'm not stating that that's definitely or even likely the case. I'm simply stating it's possible, which it is even if it's quite unlikely.

The "You're no longer he person I initially fell in love with"-style of development is extremely common in romantic relationships - fictional or otherwise - and it doesn't always have to be a bad thing. But in the context of this particular story, it certainly isn't a good one.

I'd argue while it's not necessarily good it doesn't mean no good can come from it at least. Even though their relationship has had that sort of development she's decided to stay with her. So even if she no longer currently feels anything for her other than an obligation or duty it's still possible for her to find something she loves regardless.

But Madoka and the girls did have a happy ending in the new world

1.) Homura did not. Hence why Rebellion even happened in the first place.
2.) You are completely and utterly ignoring the fact that I said it's suggested Madoka's universe was unsustainable. Try reading all of my post ffs.
3.) The Incubators would inevitably try and find a way around the Law of Cycles anyways in order to turn magical girls into witches. This is kinda the most major point about Homura's actions in the latter half of the movie. Madoka shows absolutely no concern for her own safety while Homura is aware that the Incubators can and will eventually succeed. Since it has been her purpose to protect Madoka since she first became a magical girl anyways and because of the complete lack of concern Madoka had for her own safety combined with Homura's wish not being fulfilled in the end, she took the only path she saw available and, just like the series, put herself in a position where she has a lot more potential to protect Madoka at the cost of looking like the villain.

It's a good thing this is a fictional story and not real life then, huh? Otherwise it would actually be a problem.

Ethan7892 posted:

I thought that Rebellion never happened because Modoka probably use her wish to probably erased the events of Rebellion and all of this never happend, hopefully it's true

Rebellion definitely happened. There's some important stuff to remember. The most important one is that Homura didn't become a witch but something similar but still totally different. In fact it can be argued that Madoka's wish is what caused her to undergo that change. Madoka's wish was strong enough to even prevent herself from becoming a witch so even though Homura directly interfered with Madoka trying to purify her soul gem Madoka's wish couldn't possibly not come true though she wasn't capable of cleansing Homura's soul gem. Hope and despair were never the main driving forces for Homura anyways so Madoka's wish prevented her from becoming a wish by turning her towards her actual driving force instead. It's also quite important to note that the isolation field the Incubators utilized would directly interfere with Madoka's ability to see every point in time. So she had no way of knowing exactly which outcome would happen here. And since this is Madoka she would choose to trust Homura. Also I don't see why the outcome of Rebellion was necessarily a bad thing. The series left Homura's wish completely unresolved to begin with and the epilogue seemed to suggest that Madoka's universe was unsustainable anyways since the wraiths were clearly stated to becoming more powerful and more numerous as time went on. Madoka's wish was the only adequate outcome for the series at that point in time but that doesn't mean it was resolved either. Rebellion was not only the logical conclusion to that but it was definitely inevitable. Not that I'm expecting the next movie to have a happy ending or anything either though.

Why are everyone so goddamn set on Maiko being a bitch? LMAO!

She's a love rival so it means she has to be a terrible person since Hina clearly has terrible judgment, what with liking Hana who's clearly the worst person ever.

I don't know if this is the best place to ask this question, but this is the Cafe, so I'll ask it here... do any of you good folks use reddit? My username's MiniMinute, and I frequent the yuri sub... frequently although it's pretty much dead. I guess there's not really a need for the yuri sub with the Dynasty forums but, still, I think that we should all try to cultivate as many bastions of yuri content as possible!

I have a Reddit account but avoid using it because Reddit's threaded layout is complete trash. Kinda hard to keep up with a thread when new posts can appear literally anywhere on the page.

Rina posted:

So, the yuri dynamic between Junko and Mikan (the characters in my avatar) in Danganronpa Despair:side wasn't quite what I was expecting...but I absolutely loved it. I mean, yes it's bordering on hardcore S/M territory, but DR has never really been a light-hearted series. The dynamics shown between Junko and Mikan in this ep actually fits a lot into what has been established in the story, and I'm pretty sure Junko is using a carrot-and-stick method to both appeal to Mikan's M side + making her think that she is being loved. It's deliciously wrong but still so appealing at the same time.

I've only played the two that are available on Steam but this really doesn't sound remotely surprising. The games have made it fairly clear that Junko doesn't give a shit about anybody at all. I mean in the first game she murders her own sister after having manipulated her into helping her set things up in that game to begin with. And Mikan kinda sets herself up to be easily manipulated with her personality, unfortunately.

Read the two posts right above your first one. That'll explain why that is.

Why bother having more then one monitor ? Its like having 2 or 3 of the same book.

It's one of those things where you never realized you actually needed it until you try it. Though if all you do is play games, browse the internet, watch movies, and/or listen to music on your computer then it's probably not a big deal. For video editors and developers (or just multitaskers in general) it's extremely useful. I have a triple monitor setup myself and make use of all the space quite often. And going back to a single monitor setup when I'm working on someone else's computer ends up feeling extremely claustrophobic. Though on the other hand with one monitor it's a lot more difficult to lose your cursor, lol.

This is an example of my general layout. Right hand monitor tends to stay exactly as it is there. The left monitor is used for stuff like documentation and references for whatever I'm working on, music, notes, calculator, etc. With my main monitor being my main workspace.

It's very cute >~< I can't wait for new chapter.
Anyway it made me wonder if gay people have amnesia in real life, they will turn straight or still be gay.

Amnesia doesn't work the way it's so frequently depicted in shows and mangas so it's a kinda moot point. Iirc the most common form of amnesia irl is in fact an inability to create short term memories. Long term memory is unaffected and you don't lose previous memories either.

hoatuy posted:

this game has four volume. I believe it will explain later in other game. The first game is the weakest in this series.

p/s: sr for my poor english

Yeah, I'm aware of that. I'm really curious how they're going to work though. Despite the ending feeling seriously inconclusive it also didn't feel like it could really continue either, at least not the way they're formatting the series. And the fact there's two separate routes seems like something that might be a bit difficult for them to account for.

As for it being the weakest game, I can't really disagree or agree with that since I've only played the first one. Other than the ending though I thought the game was perfectly fine. (If they'd just cut off like half way-ish through the ending it'd have felt a lot more conclusive and fitting to me.)

I just beat Mayuri's route with the actual proper ending. I'm a bit disappointed really. There's no actual resolution. Mayuri just leaves the academy with no real warning and doesn't even tell Suoh and despite Suoh being sad she makes some bullshit wish that Mayuri forget her? Like what the hell was that? Though I suppose if I take into account how Kara no Shoujo ends even in the best ending, expecting a happy ending with solid resolution was probably dumb. (The fact that this is so much more light-hearted than KnS made me think that it wasn't going to end in a depressing way even in the best endings.) Though the game would have been just fine with a conclusive happy ending...

It does make me rather curious about the other games in the series though. It didn't really feel like it left a huge opening for a continuation.

Really crossing my fingers and hoping innocent friend remains innocent and unhurt, she's literally the only unfucked-up person left in this entire series and is honestly a breath of fresh air in that respect. I need SOMEONE whom I'm not constantly suspicious of in this series!

Shouldn't the fact she's so innocent compared to everyone else be reason enough to make you suspicious of her?

Thanks. I'll add that to my notes so I can get it implemented when I get back to working on the script.

Thanks, Alice! This is working perfectly. :)

No problem. It was a pretty simple script so it only took me 20-30 minutes including troubleshooting my habit of consistently forgetting how to use Javascript's replace function. (Would've been like 5-10 otherwise.)

neversung posted:

That would be wonderful, thank you!

Should be available here. Let me know if you'd prefer it to be formatted differently or something. It just moves the "Dynasty Scans ›" to the end so if you're on the forums, for example, you'll still get "Forum ›" then the thread name. But for chapters it's "Chapter name | Dynasty Scans".

Has anyone here who played the original Japanese version be willing to answer a question about chapter 3?

Near the end you're required to answer two questions. The first is asking where the most Christians are. The correct answer is apparently Italy while the conversation earlier in the chapter states America, referring to the US. When speaking strictly about Christians of any sort this seems to be valid since Americans are mostly Protestant which is still a form of Christianity. When speaking about Catholics in particular though then Italy probably would actually be the correct answer, what with the Vatican being in Italy and being the head of the Catholic Church. The second question is to name the taboo number. Somehow the answer to this is 17 despite during that earlier conversation 13 being specifically mentioned plus 13 being relevant during this bit as well. And having looked around I don't really seem to be able to even find anything on the number 17 being considered taboo anywhere to begin with. Edit: So after listening to Suoh's explanation it seems 17 actually is considered unlucky in Italy, though my searching didn't seem to uncover that and on top of that asking for the country with the most Christians rather than Catholics. And when searching for unlucky numbers in Italy rather than taboo ones as the story talks about I do get results mentioning 17. But the game specifically talks about taboo numbers so it's an easy mistake to make.

So is this an issue with the translation itself or is there really just something I'm missing here? I ended up having to look it up because I just wasn't getting it.

Not like it's a horrible tag or anything. Just rather unhygienic if done irl is all.

How's the translation quality now that they've had time to fix it up?

The translation itself seems fine. There's some typos though. Specifically with words ending in 's which for some weird reason seem to consistently have the apostrophe replaced with an F.

Not sure about this. The setting of the isolated all girls school in the middle of nowhere does not seem very appealing to me. It makes it as if the idea of an homosexual relationship is pretty much forced on the cast due to lack of alternatives, and is bound to last just as much as their stay in that enclosed environment. It kind of bothers me when the entre thing is portrayed as just a phase.

I'm not far enough into it to say anything about the romance side of things for certain but it seems pretty clear that the main character is quite gay and just happens to not be very conscious of that fact due to the fact she's rather socially awkward and tends to go through a great deal of anxiety even talking to the people she's most comfortable talking to. Can't speak for anyone else yet though since I'm only part way through chapter 2 currently and romance isn't even really a consideration just yet.

May be unhealthy but it's still far more healthy than the situation she was in before.
