Throwing fuel on the fire, what about the difference between shoujo ai and yuri, why doesn't the first exist on Dynasty ? Is there even a nuance between the two to begin with ?

If we consider Overwatch as a 60% FPS - 40% MOBA,

Overwatch is 100% shooter, 0% MOBA. Dirty Bomb isn't a MOBA neither.

People I've talked with really find the game sharing some similarities with a MOBA. I know it's a FPS, but you can't compare OW and CoD for example. And from my own experience, although I'm not a big fan of OW, I perceived some MOBA influence in it.

Clearly you don't play Dirty Bomb enough. Seriously though, give it a try, it's free2play so there's no reason not to. And it's really fast paced which seems to be your thing judging by you enjoying Tracer way too much.

People're gonna mistake me for a Gigantic promoter but I can't refrain Talking about in-game pacing, I can pretty safely state Gigantic is the fastest-paced MOBA out here. If we consider Overwatch as a 60% FPS - 40% MOBA, I'd say Gigantic is the contrary. Not as fast as a FPS, but remains really frenetic, and allows more teamfighting, outplaying as it requires more strategy, macro-game and team-game as a FPS does.

As for Paragon, what irks me is that they introduced mechanics like farming you'd find in a MOBA like LoL or Dota, when this format should rather be used to accentuate teamfights and rapidity. I'm not saying it has no potential, I think it's [currently] badly executed.

I've never quite seen the lesbianism + feminism relation, tbh. In my eyes, physical and emotional attraction to a certain gender seem to have very little to do with political and social values. If a woman is "attracted" to other women specifically because of "equal rights" or "the patriarchy", it sounds a bit like chuunibyou to me... =A=

You've never heard of Lesbian Separatism or Political Lesbianism? There's actually quite a long history of connection between feminism and lesbianism, but that's a bit off the direct topic of the definition of yuri so probably not worth getting into here.

That moment when moderators themselves start an off-topic and passably interesting debate.

If anything is the future, it's Quake Champions.

Gigantic's character design is pretty cool though, Might give it a try once it comes out if the gameplay is faster paced than Paragon.

"Paragon". Just looks like some generic 3D / 3rd person shooter league of legends. The graphisms are neat but god it looks so boring to play.

Gigantic is still in beta, but it does have the foundation to be one of the best MOBA in the near future. For its drawbacks, however, I wrote a post here where I try to highlight them, although as you may notice if you bother reading it, there's no much to complain about for a game in beta.

It's funny because even among yuri artists the notion of yuri looks blurred. Tamamusi, for example, and according to this afterword seems to nuance lesbian and yuri; like a yuri would be a moe depiction of sapphism ? An archetype of lesbian story with some codes rather than the simple love between women ?

For all I care, I'm happy with calling yuri works featuring any love or sexual attraction / relations between women as the main part of the plot. And honestly, yuri sounds better than "lesbianism" or "lesbian story" in my opinion. Can't say which one is the best bewteen sapphism and yuri though, the latter definitely being moe-er ;)

Gigantic is the future, y'all should try it out.

Welln the replies to both of those messages sort of overly. Weird, I swear you were one of the people responding to my message in which I brought up the fact I'm dropping out.

Well, still the same best uni in the county is my goal, just a different degree. One might say a bit less money making, but I wanna fullfil my dream of becoming a professor of history. And not even a stupid pair of glasses will stop me from that.

Oh, I remember now. I had you in mind enjoying your uni, hence my mistake. Still don't know why I didn't remember you had dropped though. Oh, and don't worry, I believe you'll success pretty easily this time. You really are clever, notwithstanding your vast historical culture !

Now all we need is Rina, CCL, Alvis and Blackkitty to post more!

FTFY

Besides kitty who posted a message a few pages ago, I'm assuming you can talk with the other two pretty much whenever you want so. Still, they are welcome on the cafe and I wouldn't mind seeing this place even more lively ;)

I haven't called it "the worst thread ever" yet. But really?! Is there any thread worse than this one? How far do people there talk behind others' backs? How rude their comments are? O_O

I see what you mean here. However, I believe it would be sad to delete these 278 pages of discussions, a few being one of the best I've ever had on a forum, just because of some shitposts.
And, quoting a recent post

Seriously, No truer words have been said. Thank you for creating this thread, This might sound reeeeealy lame but believe it or not, This thread got me through some though time's ;u;

Hearing this is really heartwarming, and it somehow makes me feel proud of the cafe. It would be a waste to delete it, don't you agree, Oliver ?

It's rare to see dpf posting on the cafe, too bad it's under such circumstances.

Anon

Didn't intend to make you appear older when I said Mother, more like, highlighting your wisdom ! ;)
Zombies can't get old anyway.

Btw. I had to laugh really hard when I saw your last post in the „Suggestions for Improvement“ thread (＾∇＾) Just so like you... ^_^

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Screw that! Anon for Queen of the Human Race! >:D

No, please don't... I would just turn the whole world gay! ;)

A world filled with real yuri ? Me being able to finally fully appreciate yaoi ? Fuck it, I"m in !

This cafe is the place to chill, no doubt here. But even I sometimes try to subtly tell you to keep some of your thoughts to yourself. Needlessly throwing fuel on the fire doesn't give anything good. You can be so cool when you're not arguing; just like the reed, you sometimes should try to bend a little. (Dunno if I had either La Fontaine or Pascal in mind when I wrote that, seems like evening means philosophy).

Dynasty is love bro. Love implies humor and allows casual bad jokes, but not unremitting conflict. Time to sign the cease-fire.

Anon for moderator ?

You pussies ! I dare say Anon for PRESIDENT.
Glad to see our symbolic mother back !

i was cornered by those users and THAT "mod".

Isn't this rude? Also, it seems Dynasty Cafe is going downhill heading to becoming the worst thread ever. Anon, maybe you should consider deleting the thread.

I think calling it the "worst thread ever" is going a bit too far.

Also, hi Galich ! Sucks for these glasses of yours. Surprising to hear you're working in a [expensive] shop; weren't you intending to some university ?

Dropping a track from one the movie with the best OST, Ghost Dog :

Or even the whole OST : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrPJ2sObEig&t=210s

Luckily enough Ratana sama seems to have taken it well, so no problem. And with such a message of apologies I myself didn't expect, how could she not forgive you if she fully understands it tho.

That aside, time to move on. You didn't know and you didn't intend to be offensive in the first place. It's fine IMHO.

Too bad I'll never be able to use this as an avi

Or else bullying. But what else are they going to use? In real life, there are as far as I know (aside from extreme poverty or living in a war zone or like that) only two main factors that make kids sad or lonely: Parents and peers. So if someone came up with something else, it would be perhaps innovative, but it would also probably be unrealistic, or at least unlikely.
It isn't really "whipped out" either--it hasn't been overt, but her personality has definitely hinted at isolation since the beginning.

What about an illness? This is a genuine cause of suffering, for both kids and their families. I don't see this reason used very often.

Because illness isn't necessarily a synonym of loneliness. The point of Yuzumori isn't that she is suffering, but that she is alone, and thus sad. And, at least for the yuri featuring an ill character I have in mind, I don't recall any involving a development of their background, and how their families cope with the said illness. Which kinda sucks, tho.

You guys really make me just shake my head and roll my eyes a lot.

Without Anon to hold us back, we can sometimes go overboard. ;)

Although nothing too cringy happened for once, hope you're exaggerating a little.

Agreed that a forum search would be a good plus to Dynasty, would avoid people to make several threads for the same subject.

Also, it would be cool to be able to use .gif as profile picture, and maybe to allow users to have a signature. I have no idea if it's easy to implement though, coding has always been a mystery to me.

You're pretty lucky here tho, SF.

And there goes mods again.... sighs

Nice SF, you showed her.

Chapter 43 was easily the worst chapter in this series.

Geez, I think i skipped almost the entire chapter. I mean author was trying to show the difference b/w sex for pleasure and sex with love. but the way she showed it was really poor.

Really disappointed in this chapter.

hahahahaha
good to read your comment
i cant help if you disappointed
but i dont think to compared anything
i dont even thought about the difference b/w sex for pleasure and sex with love

and please do not misunderstand i dont reply your comment because the episode made you disappointed.
but its just because your point wasnt true.

BURRRRNNNNNN

How is that a burn? She made several grammatical errors in her comment. If anything she burned herself :)

I think Khasimir said "burn" cuz it was Ratana who made a point to Ulquiorra's post that they were wrong in their thinking :v

also it's really not nice to make fun of not native English speakers and their grammar :v

It's funny how something that has been discussed not too long ago, the question of someone's interpretation not being necessarily wrong in spite of what the author says, gets a concrete and tangible case on the same forum.

So, has the author the absolute right to state what is wrong and what is true concerning her work ?

Lmao SF you took a new step in disrespect even myself wouldn't have imagined : trashtalking Ratana Satis herself about her english XD

I rarely agree with Nez but she is rigth here. Bashing someone because of their use of english, even in the context of a joke, isn't the best way to make them improve or want to improve, and is rather scornful.

On the other hand, just focusing on your own english and writing properly is a good way to make the non-fluent get better, as reading grammatically correct english will make them write with less mistakes in the long run ;)

That can't be for the same reason. The evil/rotten/manipulative characters get hated for being evil/rotten/manipulative. People who love them do not love them for that reason.

Because they seemingly add some depth to a story / the reader can relate to them. Happy now ?

There was a room for debates, but you closed it.

So now because I like NTR it means everything I say is invalid and makes no sense. Nice logic there mate. Very open minded.

Allow me to clear this up. I didn't say your your argument was invalid, but since you indeed do like NTR, your point of view on Sue and her role makes sense. However, having already talked about NTR and expressed his dislike of it, I can safely state the character of sue is something Ulquiorra is never gonna like, and thus, you wouldn't have been able to be on the same wavelength. You love evil / rotten / manipulative characters, Ulquiorra hates them for the same reason. There's no room for a debate here.

I didn't mean to offend you or to give the impression I would consider your argument invalid because you like something I don't, I just warned Ulquiorra that the comment he was responding to was from someone who loves precisely one of the thing he hates the most.
