Wow, OP, I'm actually impressed at the intricacy of this thread you've made. Very few things on /v/ are so expertly orchestrated that they can be distinctively designated as "shitposting," but you have managed to do it so effectively and so succinctly that I cannot help but applaud this valiant effort. Virtually every inch of your thread, from the OP image portraying some emotion clearly distinct from happiness, joy or anything that could be deemed positive by anyone to the snarky, derisive tone of what little words you've written (all of which are unrelated to video games, I might add) are perfectly structured in a way fit to make only the most agonizingly autistic people on this board reply. Too many shitposters these days go straight to the single-line, canned phrases and anime reaction images, but you have taken a degree of subtlety in making the board worse and have totally succeeded at it. I'm almost tempted to preserve this thread in some sort of digital carbonite, just so I can refer to it later on when I want to infer just what the absolute qualities of a bad thread or reply must contain. You have made a checklist of all the things this board does not need posted on it, and you yourself are some sort of flawless specimen of the jizz-stained, mentally defective contrarian condition that would even find making such blatant garbage an acceptable endeavor. Because of this thread, I hereby crown you the official king of shitposting. You are now given total authority over all future mediocre contributions to the board (nay, all boards on the site, and possibly the entire internet) and may take them under your wing so that you might properly refine them into exceptional examples of anti-intellectualism, simplistic opinions, baseless ridicule, ignorance of facts and a general desire to foster divisiveness in a congregation of people you do not know. With your help, they will surely learn what it means to lower the overall level of public dialogue on the internet.

Good point. I'm also always very surprised how popular h-games with female rape victim protagonists are. Why are there so few where you play as the rapist? Does this say something about the average male?

>>382607374
>you know what I mean
No I don't.

>>382608161
It might be that playing as a rapist is a little creepy and off-putting.
At least if you're playing the victim, things are "out of your control" and you're distancing yourself a bit from the fictional crime while still having just as good of a spectator seat. Not sure if this is accurate, just guessing.

If by "discusses" you mean make Larry faces and meta humour about the site, then yes, they do.

People who do that to their pawns in Dragon's Dogma are literally Hitler. Nothing makes me dismiss a pawn faster than seeing a shitty joke pawn, right along with Guts, Casca and princess dress set pawns.

For anything like Final Fantasy where the characters name is already a thing I never change it and just leave as it. Cloud is Cloud, not whatever fucking thing I'd call him. Don't even know why that's a feature in the game.

Normally otherwise I enter my normal name for a serious playthrough. Then I play how I'd act if it were real (minus the physical strength of course). Otherwise I lose track of what character I'm autistically pretending to be.

you can do that with pretty much any new game, which allows them to be enjoyable.

I just started Dragons Dogma myself and made my pawn a cute, blonde, twintailed loli. Is that okay or overdone?
Can you even edit their appearances again or is that locked in?

If I wasn't a lazy sack of shit and actually made a game, I'd have 3 gender options; male, female and other. Selecting other closes the game without saving.
