    I think the point dovac is attempting, quite poorly to make, is that the people who wanted 18+ continue to not put their money where there mouth is, and continue to pirate the 18+ releases. So, if people continue crying over 18+ releases, SP will still bring them, and release a free patch, but the base price of the game will go up to compensate. Sure, SP will lose some sales, and its more likely the prices will not double as it was just dovac being angry in the heat of the moment, but the community essentially brought this upon itself. 

    Yeah figures, I wasn't really implying that I did actually believe they would increase the price by double the amount, I was just pointing out that if it was true they would increase the price by that amount neither side would benefit from it.

    Yes, but you're ignoring the effects of social inequity aversion.

    If the price would be the same for the all-ages version (minus the sex scenes which might or not mean less content) and the price for the Adult version (which has more content but cost more) is the same, then that is not equality (Best solution in my opinion would be to name the price depending of how much content has the Adult version or the all-ages version compared with each other). Besides I don't see anything wrong by complaining, think about it, if someone who doesn't play or even care about the Adult version suddenly has to pay more so others can have the free patch, isn't logical they complain? Same would apply if the opposite were about to happen. So isn't obvious I will be against this if it's going to have a negative effect on myself?

    Well if that is your stance on it, you don't need to be a part of the discussion. It means something to certain people, even if it's just useless porn to you. 

     

    This was ... interesting. Obviously the guy making free patches is in the wrong, but the absolutely childish behavoir from the SP guy is really pathetic to look at. And the fact that he does it openly to the public makes it 10x worse. 

    As for the price of the H-content, honestly, I don't care. I want the game the way it was meant to be played, and I'll pay whatever price they put it down for. At least it means we don't have a censored release like G-senjou again when they make patches, even if you have to pay extra for it. FrontWing just did the same thing with Corona Blossom, so it's not just SP. 

    Good point but those who buy the all-ages version does also care if suddenly the price increase by double the amount, besides do you realize by increasing the price by double mean the game that would cost like 30$ will cost 60$ now? This is not a solution you will pay exactly the same amount even if the patch will be free.

    Corona Blossom released!

    Alright I download the demo and it seems english translation is decent? Now for animation they're using Live2D and for the most part it looks great, but the eyes placement during some expression looks odd. From what I'm getting of the plot and characters, the story looks kind of over the top with some space pirates and robots added into the mix. Hopefully it doesn't turn into a cuteness fest, I would like it to focus more in the story as it sound like it has some potential.

    Even if it didn't have the results it did (though apparently there are some doubts as to their veracity), the experiment would still have been interesting if it didn't show the tendencies it claims to. Science is not simply about confirming hypotheses; a negative result can have as much use. How people react when asked by a strong authority to do immoral things seems like a pretty interesting topic to me.

    For me is the opposite feeling. Although I don't see it necessary to study this when you can just see the present and past record of people just following orders in both new and previous war.

    Experiments like this aren't even allowed anymore.  The ugliness they expose is considered to be too traumatizing to the participants.  A pity.

    More like they waste too much time conducting stupid experiments like these. So what ugliness was exposed here? It is clearly stated only a small fraction was prepared to administer the maximum voltage so there isn't anything so bad worthy of calling it frightening.

    It's an encyclopedia entry about a fascinating experiment demonstrating the power of authority to influence us to do things that violate our deepest-held convictions.

    Only those worthy of nekos will see nekos.  All others will see only the sad panda that keeps vigil over the gates to paradise, guarding its sanctity against those who would defile it.

    I wouldn't say it is fascinating.

    Am I a chuunibyou?

    Some time ago I watched a anime in which the protagonist and other main character are chuunibyou, while I watched these characters I realized a shocking truth about myself: I may be a hardcore chuunibyou since child:marie:! I reached this conclusion after thinking about my habits from childhood until my current age (18), I will expose them below:

     

    Since child I had very few friends and was somewhat antisocial which foreshadows my future destiny of becoming the greatest mage ever know and so I frequently played alone, one of my favorite (only) "play" was running around like crazy pretending was I one of the characters of my favorite cartoon (which are as far I remember always anime). Another habit I had was when imagining about the next episode I would include a original character (thankfully it was not a self-insert, I swear!) that was kind of a "cool guy". He was badass, looked cool and so on (suddenly I feel embarassed).

     

     I guess this is normal (I hope) for children (at least for lonely ones) although I not sure when I stopped doing this maybe I never stopped, maybe I just changed slowly the habits. I guess my next phase was when I started watching anime on computer, the first anime I watched on computer that wasn't a anime I had watched in my childhood was Zero no Tsukaima (I was around 14 years old at the time). I fell in love Louise. Period. I didn't know the word at the time but she was my waifu:wub: (It's kinda funny how I hated the other heroines for getting in the way and that today I like more of harems). At the time I stayed at my grandmother house on weekdays because it was near school and I went for my actual house on weekends but there was a problem for me: my computer was at my house and so I had nothing to do after school, after all was too old for running around the street (not that this has kept me from walking from one side to the other in the street at night) and so after lunch I went to bed and I imagined scenes that involved hugging and kissing mai waifu and after that I reflected philosophically the lack of meaning of life (whined about the fact I had nothing to do). All this led me to the most embarrassing phrase of my delusions.

    Note: Louise was also my first crush... I don't know how to feel about this. 

    I hated the world... Or at the least I thought I did, you know bullshit of adolescent. I basically imagined... .... ... ... ... ... (this is quite embarrassing:yumiko:) ... ... myself going to the world of Zero no Tsukaima. Every night before sleep, going in school, mainly in school and so on. I wished very much for it happen to the point it was thing I most thought about these days. But at same time other part of myself said "I going to get over this bullshit one day so I don't need to worry about that". And so this thought of "going to other world" become weaker and weaker but it never died and is a driving force in my delusions and is at the core of it even though I normally don't I thought it directly anymore. I also did get bored of hating the world and I also gained a notebook to use in my grandmother's house so I could keep myself occupied instead of thinking bullshit like the meaning of life.

     

    Now, my next (and current) phase. I guess it was a year before entering high school (although it was the same school from before), while imagining a sequel to Chrono Cross I had a "brilliant" idea: "I will create my own fictional world!" I guess that I was reading too much The Silmarillion at time. At the start my fictional world was a mess mixing up a lot of things from works, after a lot of time thinking, some inspirations, reading history on internet I was able to refine it into something much (I hope) more original. At the time my "going to other world" delusion although weaker than before was stronger than now and it direct influenced me at this process of creating a fictional world and so that fictional world was also a "world that I would rather live". I always imagined it in anime style, with cute girls, with cool powers (kind of a sufficiently analyzed magic), some bits of science fiction, etc. What was I going to do with this fictional world? A book? No way, my writting abilites suck. A light novel? Same. A game using RPG Maker? Hmm, this is actually possible. A visal novel? Maybe I should recruit some fuwans to form a team and launch a kickstarter. If Dharker Studio can do a successful kickstarter why can't I? All I would need to do is slap some boobs and say there will be 18+ patch:makina:. Maybe I should post this setting on Creative Corner someday just for hear what people think of the fictional world I created... but I am too lazy to that. Anyway even though I don't know what to do with it at moment my mind slip to this world frequently principally if I am not in the computer.

    Interestingly enough I considered what I did before I created this setting to be possibly sort of chuunibyou. I considered the fictional world some sort of artistic creation (of bad quality) but after watching that anime I realized  some similarities between the way my mind slip to the setting and the way the characters acted, then a shocking thought appeared in my mind "I am chuunibyou". Heck, I even say some weird bullshit to some of my friends and also have a weird habit of whenever I get excited with something be some news, a scene in a anime/visual novel/manga/light novel or some new idea for my setting I go jumping around (which greatly annoys my grandmother).
     

    So how I reacted to this? I was overjoyed. In these years, specially last year, I become more sociable, a bit less weird, more normal, was more friendly to my classmates. I guess this is a good thing but I felt like somehow I had lost someting important. When you walked holding hands with weirdness for a long time it is... weird to be a bit distant from it and so when I realized I may be a chuunibyou it kind of pleased me.

    Why I wrote this post? I was just lonely and wanted to tell it to someone Even though I concluded that I am a chuuni I need a confirmation. So after reading all this do you think I am chuunibyou or not? Vote in the pool above! This ended up in a big post, isn't? Thank you very much for reading until the end:wafuu:.

     

     

    I doubt chuunibyou would admit personally that they're one, so regarding that I would say you are safe. When I was a child I fell in love with Kairi from digimon for some reason, although that was the only time I ever did that, many people fall in love with fictional characters including grown-ups so who cares.

    There once was a guy named mitchhamilton

    He wrote a nice post about Fuwadom

    And how a guy named Tay

    Liked what he had to say

    And dropped a nice like on his post.

     

    Elsewhere Tay was feeling undone

    Because working on the site was not much fun

    Then along came poem

    Which really did show 'em

    And left him smiling the most.

    Sadly for you, I control both magic and Luna and will not do such a thing. I will not allow my precious Luna to aid undeads.

    But you have no control over the red moon. I might not be able to get resurrected as a zombie but maybe I can ask the great ones to turn myself into a hunter! :Kappa:
