Insania

I'm rewatching Durarara!! as a refresher for the upcoming season 2. Can't wait for it.

I still remember that cruel prank they made with a sequel. Bloody cruel bastards. I 100% agree with you. I don't really get seriously depressed or cry, but I feel for the characters. Just like any book, movie, anime or other such show I watch. As for reading Katawa Shoujo...read it! Its free, fairly short, and gives you all the feels.

My most emotional VN so far is most likely Katawa Shoujo. The present circumstances of some of the characters I can relate with rather well, while others I have no personal experience with but can empathise greatly with their circumstances. I love it so much I have replayed all routes several times. Especially Hanako, as to some extent I have faced the fear of socialisation in my past, and while I don't relate to her exact circumstances, I can relate to her general position quite well. It was also the my gateway VN, so I guess I might have some bias towards its impact.

Well I've started playing Terraria...I wonder how long it will take me to get bored of it...

Welcome to fuwa. Here, have a dinosaur. I guess I'll add another recommendation on Katawa Shoujo. I quite enjoyed it and it is a nice, easy VN to read.

Humans who aren't your acceptable view as humans are considered worthless. That is possibly the worst kind of narrow thinking I have heard. Why is your life so purposeful? Why are you worth so much? Because you grew up on the achievements of others and at a time and standing that some don't? Hell to the no. I admit we are a dominant species in the world. I admit technology have made us into animals who have a significant edge over every other animal. I admit that with the choice I probably would save a human over an animal. But I have never perceived animal life or someone of less intelligence as worthless. You seem to attach this silly stigma of some sort of wrong in animal life in comparison to human life. Instinct is animalistic...instinct is human; humans are bloody animals. We live to live. Meaning is important for humans because our brains are as weak as they are strong. It is merely another necessity in our struggle to live.

I noticed that you have said 'you' in the sense that I wrote the article. To clarify, this was someone else's work that I found and found interesting. As for your question, I have not watched the movies. I'll be sure to give them a look soon though.

He essentially just talks about the security of our technology and the rate in which it is growing, which he summaries the security to be beyond terrible. He refers to various hacking methods used in Watch Dogs and compares them to the possibilities, and allegedly, real life instances where similar events have happened. In one instance he explains wireless pacemakers and how easy it is for hackers to interfere and possibly kill those who use them, providing demonstrations in which an actual person was able to hack a pacemaker to send volts through it. He also references self replicating viruses and more specially a program named agent.btz, in which took the American government 14(?) months to eliminate it. In regards to your dislike to his channel, I personally enjoy it. I do, however, not indicate his opinions as fact, but rather an interesting theory in which I either agree or disagree with. But to each his own I suppose.

Welcome to fuwa. By raid call do you mean a voice or text chat group? We do have a teamspeak and skype group that we use. For the skype just add me, (my skype info is on my profile) and I'll add you to the group. For the teamspeak, I can't exactly recall the information for it. I'm sure someone else will know.

Well I value technology that much. Without certain drugs, in which I still need to this very day, I would be either blind, deaf or dead. There is a certain condition I have had in the past that would have basically mutilated my eyeballs, along with my asthma which has left me to the point of near death. As much as I find some technological advances distasteful, I do find the statement, "We should all go live in the woods" quite over the top. No amount of natural non-technologically augmented drugs would have saved me from these situations.

Welcome to HELL fuwanovel!

Will technology blast forward int he future? Yes. Will people take advantage of this to cause chaos through hacking? Yes. Can we really do much to stop it? In my opinion, no. Technology will blast forward regardless of how dangerous it is, but like others have said: pros > cons. Technology warfare is merely another way in which humans will create more mayhem, but technology itself is also another way in which we can create great things. However I do personally believe that technology needs to slow down to a degree, we churn out more pointless things than we need, but this may just be part of the human condition so my belief is a moot point.

Perhaps my absolution of 'never should be joked on' was too extreme. I understand the need for black humour in certain situations and it being a viable and, depending on the person, effective use of relieving stress, tension, and other effects from dark situations. I do it myself. However I believe there a certain mediums people should not use for controversial dark humour, particularly the use of the public, or more specifically the internet. It is too public and not suitable for such controversial 'jokes' for the very reason it is being discussed right now: being get offended. Perhaps my wording of my opinion did not convey my entire opinion on the matter of joking on suffering, but my outrage are to that of people who joke lightly on these matters and are not involved in the crisis. The picture itself is not my main focus of rage, but rather the response to it, particularly from 4chan. Because they are not making stress-reducing jokes, they are not in involved in the horror that comes with disease. They are just showing a shocking lack of empathy for those who are involved. I may not be personally involved with Ebola, but I sure as hell am not so cold hearted to be so cruel for no reason other than out of pure malice. Tl;dr: It is the idiocy of the response from 4chan and their ilk that angers me, not the picture they responded to. Also I am curious as to why you find Katawa Shoujo so offensive, if you don't mind me asking.

Like others have stated it is a joke in poor taste. Jokes are acceptable within a relative time difference and seriousness of an event. Widespread suffering, and current events such as the Ebola crisis should never be joked on. It is a terrifying and extremely painful disease that is running rampant and I hope to god is doesn't evolve to be airborne, which is a discussion I had with various people recently. While I may make distasteful jokes on occasion without thinking of what I'm saying, creating images like this requires more than just a fleeting thought. I would also think that things like Ebola, Cancer, Malaria and AIDS, would be an obvious taboo when making jokes, but my faith in some people's ability to think seems to be too high. To be frank, this makes me ridiculously angry and disgusted.

Well I just finished Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. It was unbelievably simplistic yet somehow 'hid' a rather shocking complexity underneath it all while still retaining obvious symbolism...it is too glorious for words. But if you want this glorious-ness captured in words there is this rather in-depth article about it that made me love the series even more. It's quite a read and contains MASSIVE SPOILERS so if you have watched the anime give this a look if you like. Link is:

Welcome to Fuwa! Here have a celebratory dinosaur!

It's 4am at the moment but this sums everything up at the moment...

Very well. I'm quite adept at wasting time. Looks like fun so I shall play.

So much to unpack here. A) Thanks for rebooting this, Ren! B) THE VITA IS AMAZING, LEWY. C) NOBODY ASKED YOU, LEWY. D) No, it actually has lots of games, Lewy. E) You know what? We're just going to have to agree to disagree, Lewy. F) This conversation is over. G) Here's some pretzels. I'm sorry for yelling at you. Katawa Shoujo 2 exclusive pre-alpha art leak! ... I wish... In his defense, he did warn us. I still get emails from time to time asking me to delete this one from off the forums... Happy 2000th post! Happy Moderators' Appreciation Day! Oh my bloody god that Levi picture is gold. I demand you print an A3 copy, frame it, and mount it on your wall.

So many posts in so little time. My poor notification bar can't keep up. The spam is strong with this thread it is...and I like it

Most I can think of with my limited VN knowledge is Kamidori Alchemy Meister. https://fuwanovel.net/novels/kamidori-alchemy-meister http://vndb.org/v5652 It is very different from the Ocarina Of Time adventure type. It is more of a dungeon crawler, linear questing type game. Very retro in the sense that it is similar to the older Zelda games. But in all it seems to fit the 'adventurer' type theme you are searching for.

Well, I don't really know you all very well considering I'm a fairly new member but I do however understand how unbelievably time consuming being a mod of any forum can be. So as a thank you I will overload you with dinosaurs...because why not? My dinosaur friends and I greatly appreciate your work. Keep at it!

1. Smiling Jack from VTMB - Why? Well...uh...he's Jack, man. Also he is unbelievably violent and badass. Also I'm a sucker for characters who can so efficiently paint a perfect picture of psychotic violence in a single sentence. 2. Suoh Mikoto from K - Calm, collected, yet passionate. He is immensely powerful, cares endlessly for those who have no place to belong to, he isn't petty, yet he is passionate (in a subtle way). Besides, he is my favourite male character within my top anime. 3. Takigawa Yoshino from Zetsuen Tempest - He doesn't easily show his true emotions and has interesting secrets to tell and actions to take. Can't go into too much detail for Spoiler reasons and simply can't be bothered to say everything I love about his character. My favourite characters are in constant flux, but I can say these three have been the contenders for quite some time. Also, I'm probably forgetting a few of my favourites so these may not be 100% accurate, but off the top of my head the top three it's these guys.

I don't drink coffee regularly, usually I only drink it after a meal at a restaurant or when I'm offered one. But when I do drink a coffee I prefer a cappuccino without any added sugar. But if there is one thing that bugs me about coffee is when I see people add a ridiculous amount of sugar. (Which I see almost everyday after school.) My peers add about 6-8 sachets of sugar into their coffee. Each sachet probably contains about 3 spoonfuls of sugar, so they are essentially adding 18-24 spoonfuls of sugar. It's a pet peeve of mine. It baffles me why people wish to drink sugar with coffee, rather than coffee with some sugar. I'm done. I'm finished. NO MORE RANTING! IT'S OVER. RANT BLOODY COMPLETE!!!!
