In this image we see a navy blue Marisa in a stout and rotund form, playing on a child's swing set. What would you do if you were to see such an unnerving image? I would be very frightened.

This image demonstrates navy blue marisa's incredible speed, able to tread upon water in it's haste. Imagine how easy it would be to pursue prey with agility like that? There would be no escape.

Here we see a particularly chilling image. I am unable to comprehend what is happening here. It makes me shudder uncontrollably.

Medicine is the best doll.

My favorite thing about Medicine is that tripcode fags story about melting to a blob of bodily fluids and shame from touching her.

If I am making a character for the long haul, is starting as a Golem of some kind the best choice due to the way AP gains work?

>>16822666
Next patch there'll be some kind of experience bonus for low INI, so the very very best is probably snail.
Personally i can't deal anymore with the cleaners, they're such a pain. It also makes inferno mode a complete bitch, carelessly passing turns too quickly in what you think is a safe space, and you're dead.

TL;DR yes

>>16816925
It turns out you live in a dystopian hellscape, and all those people on the table are people you vaguely knew on the internet. You all decided, in the urban misery, to escape into a simulated world, one that inhibits your memory and makes you think you're really part of it.. Each of you was controlling a character. Those cute anime girls were pollution choked ghoulish hags, worn down and torn up by a blade runner, 1984-like shitscape the likes of which is almost nowhere to be found today, even in deepest poverty. This was a suicide pact you made with internet strangers; splurge on an old, beat up CNS VR system none of you could afford, set the duration dial to two months, and starve to death, happy for once.

Now all through the game, in the nature of the glitches, in character dialogue, you’ve been hinting that this is the case. Like a 16 year old girl would have been discussing seriously concepts with a knowingness and authenticity that was super-incongruous, because she’s sub-consciously remembering shit like her dad getting his knee acid burned straight through so he couldn’t work at the factory anymore, so her mom had to become a prostitute and borrow from gangs. Maybe this girl in particular was a tsundere type character, super vain and obsessed with looks and makeup and kinda bitchy, mostly because on some repressed level she remembered the night her mother came home with her face all cut up after she couldn’t make a payment.

You force the player to confront if they still feel the same way towards these girls. You thought you’d made emotional connections based on who they were on the inside, you overcame their exteriors to get to the true them and liked it, but are you still going to feel that way just because of how they look, because you’re in a grim world where people aren’t so pretty?

>>16816931
Couple of possible endings. Do you settle down with one of the girls in the real world, and both decide to struggle together to find some kind of happiness in a shit-hole, rusted and stained apartment, wondering what in Christ’s name that smell coming from the sink is?

Do you chose to ultimately get back in the machine, essentially commiting suicide?

Do you choose to pointlessly march down what’s called ‘Martyr’s Walk’ the avenue before the centre of government, where citizens who have finally had it with the state of the world will make one pointless protest march, alone or in a small group, before getting cut down by hovering security drones for disloyalty and terrorism.

The game has a lot of room to explore themes of using media as escapism, criticising the kind of escapism and pandering in Japanese media specifically, and examining how you deal with the imperfections of reality compared to idyllic fantasy. Should you keep engaging with the real world, even if fiction is more gratifying? Is beauty really just skin deep, or can you see yourself settling down with someone who looks like old Mellisandra from Game of Thrones because you remember earlier in the game, when some cute anime girl sat on a pier with you and told you her deepest fears, and you remember how warm you felt when you realised that your clumsy attempt at comforting and reassuring her worked.

You can also branch into political themes, with regards to the protest ending, like whether futile political action has value, and just look at what it's like living under that kind of regime, particularly with regards to how it makes you interact with media, and the parallels that has with the actual world.

tl;dr
What kind of girls do I fuck?

Len'en Project

>>16808393
Elaborate.

Marisa wants to be a dosu is fucking rage inducing gameplay wise.

Because lazy ass Takeuchi recycled Len's character design, so they felt forced to do everything in their power to differentiate them personality-wise. Same goes for White Len.

This is why you call riichi, kids. It's funny how the first 2 hands were really similar in terms of waits and losing pinfu.

I don't know. Is it really that more amazing than how /jp/'s most iconic, universally-liked and creatively productive period is that extremely short band between 2009 and 2012? That's not much when compared to the almost 10 years of the board's existence. And it was some 5 years ago.

>>16871364
What are you talking about ? From personal opinion, and from what I've heard from other fans, all 2hus from MoF to TD were pretty damn good, and we're talking about a time period that dates from 2007 to 2011 here, way past the 3 years you suggest.
That's not to say the classicals aren't good, but still.

>short band between 2009 and 2012?
You mean 2008 and 2010. Fuck the shitpost era.

Shouldn't you have a picture with zombies instead?

It's never happy.
