Everything is moving into gear, and I'm happy for it. I do have a tremendous workload on my shoulders, as I'm essentially going to be cramming two years worth of classes the following two semesters. It's going to be really tough, but I know I have it in me to push through.

Oh damn, thats a tough one. Hanako seems really minimalistic so to say considering what we see of her room at school, with only the outmost basics laying around and not any specific room theming. I can imagine her having a display of some kind for her precious dolls, a clothing rack where she hangs all her hats, she's obviously a hat person and i guess most of the furnishing will be old-timey/posh in some way, not so much as Lilly's but a touch of it.

I think the interest of the general itself plays a big part too. A team is as good as its fans. If we manage to generate enough interest, the rest should be easier to do. Some people might be put off by >sports but the VGL and to an extend 4CC is a fun way to represent your general/board and have some form of activity for said general/board. Some of the currently active teams run only on Caretakers, meanwhile in /ksg/'s case i think we have the manpower to fill both the Manager and Caretaker roles. All we need is a push, dedication and the support of /ksg/ itself. If the cup wiki is anything to go by, we dont need to be PES experts either, just gotta have the heart for it. If you and anyone else is truly interested and able, we should get into further details here, get a little "organised" on it ya know.

Snoozu is such a popular character, for barely being in the main game. Even taking into account any unofficial sources, are there any fans that want to fill me in on her good qualities?

I've only heard the originals of those tracks once myself, and while they're good, I'm with you that Skaf took them up at least a level. I'm glad I asked you for recommendations, and thank you for suggesting those.
>glad he's making music in the way he likes
Yes, there are always some that are going to chase the algorithm. But the real value of the internet is that everyone can follow their passions and find or create a niche with likeminded individuals to mutually appreciate one another.

Rooting for a team is some of the most fun you can have. If we can get our foot in the door and get people wanting to watch matches when they happen, I think general interest will go up wildly.

It's all the busy work beforehand (such as understanding fucking anything about PES) that will be a hassle and won't get as much attention. Perhaps putting renaming some of the roster members to a suggestion box and vote? (assuming that's not against the spirit of VGL)

>If we can get our foot in the door and get people wanting to watch matches when they happen, I think general interest will go up wildly.
Thats about right, like i said, all we need is that push.

>It's all the busy work beforehand (such as understanding fucking anything about PES) that will be a hassle and won't get as much attention.
The most dirty work would be tactics and aesthetics. If we get a solid baseline that doesnt lead to the team being utterly destroyed then its more than enough, im gonna give it a go and make each player league legal and start testing, see what ticks and what doesnt. Aesthetics can wait but they're also quite important. Team didnt even had a model for Lilly for crying out loud, there's gonna be some big changes in that too.

>Perhaps putting renaming some of the roster members to a suggestion box and vote?
I too think the roster is rather stale in places. Some of the players are essentially on the team twice which doesnt make much sense and are very broad in meaning, not 100% /ksg/ or KS related. We also definetly need to have all girls on the team which right now isnt the case.

>>494781820
You can always make a seperate draft and share it here for people's opinions.
>>
>>494781626
>>494779958
The team absolutely requires a full revamp, with at least some new players. A lot of the memes and jokes arent really used anymore, and they can only really be moddeled as png heads.
A lot of players are already jokes related to a specific character, so they just need a model.
Im postive i can get player models going, its just a matter of implementing them into PES, and it might take a while (musical+life+its a decent workload)
>>
>>494783228
But he wasn't telling the truth, so why would that help you?
Even if he meant it, you're just a proxy for the devs, defending them and speaking on their behalf, so the compliment could only be intended for the devs.
>>
>>494783228
The changes I am thinking about making are
>add link to the wiki transcripts page
>add links to dev sites, e.g. Skaf's bandcamp, Delta's tumblr, etc.
>add links to The Answer and pXt
>add link to Weee's art stream from a couple weeks ago or so (I think there have been others like that, but it's the one I know. I want to link to dev sites above anyway, but I think this video is hidden from her main videos page)
>add a better flowchart than the one that's in there, as well as to two fast-100% walkthroughs (one regular, one for Steam cheevos)

There might have been something else, but that's what I remember
>>
Oh hey, the resident retards are finally here, didn't take that long. I was almost worried.

>>494780536
>Even taking into account any unofficial sources, are there any fans that want to fill me in on her good qualities?
You rang? To be honest, I'm pretty sure that the main reaon she is the most popular out of all the alt-girls is the fact that she got a good, finished fanfic before the others. I bet if Learning to Fly was finished back in 2013/14, Saki would be a lot more popular then she is now.
If we go off of the pseudo-Suzu route fanfic as "Snoozu cannon", then you certainly can make a decent case as to why she is great - she is cute and somewhat relatable, her chemistry with Hisao is enjoyable and most of all - you see everything from her POV, which helps to develop her values and inner struggles way more than a Hisao POV approach most others take.
So that's my condensed opinion on the subject.
I mostly avatarfag her because there are enough people posting the main girls, and I don't want to blend in.

>>494783996
Sounds reasonable.

Like yeah i get it but its by no means exclusively KS or /ksg/ related. There's an urgent need for modernization.

>Im postive i can get player models going, its just a matter of implementing them into PES, and it might take a while (musical+life+its a decent workload)
Needless to say nor you or anyone else is forced to make things or amount to something but obviously any form of help is well appreciated. Easy mode would be implementing MMD models of the characters (if they exist) into PES and make any potential adjustments on them.

>>494783996
Doesnt sound too bad, a section of the dev's non-KS works would be neat to have. The stream link is on the previous thread, Weee unlisted it because they had an oopsie moment with one concept sketch which was pretty kek worthy too.

>>494785030
Thank you, that does explain a lot. I only know her from doing Summer's Clover a couple years ago, and I couldn't recall much of her personality from that, and even less that I found particularly likeable. I'll have to give pseudo-Suzu a try soon.

>>494785689
I don't know why she panicked so much about that, it seemed mild to me. But anyway, I'll make a back-up of the existing one just in case, and then hopefully I'll have time to update it later tonight.

I dont like making promises but i do intent to at least try, first i gotta turn all players league legal which is a bit of a pain but its gonna be the least of it.

>>494338323
>I don't mind sharing some details on that~
well if you don't mind then...

>hanging out here or consuming any media in english is the most effective way to eventually think in english
you're right, this is a good advice I also like to tell myself, if you want to get good at some language the best way to learn it is by communicating day by day with foreigers, learning social norms, words etc. That's why I don't want to learn and speak another language (like french or german) if I don't live in those countries, ofc foreign language develops your brain or some shit and is a flex but really if I don't use it as a daily mean of communication, it really is pointless.

>now you can recite ulysses all you want!

>>494364812
>maybe.. but I've met way too many people. even when I'm being honest, they believe I'm trolling and if they don't, they just don't find me likable
I guess this is the most common problem that every person on this website can relate to - we are just different, and I don't mean we are all losers and bad people, but we just think in a little different way, that they don't consider typical or normal.

>what's your reason for that? do you not like other people or do people not like you?
well, when I was younger I was a strict antisocial, and even tough I had some friends I strongly refused to get along with them, idk why, I think generally people like me, even tough I don't do that much to keep with them in touch, they just are there, existing in the void.
I think that the problem is with me - which I work on every day, and I make some progress.

>it truly is. sentimental and gentle
correct.

>they're usually douchebags :P
really? I thought people that are into language are more emotional/social/understanding than idk, people that are more into math or science.

To answer my own question, I have about 1k Lilly pics, plus 156 screenshots from the game (including earlier versions).
I don't save every picture of hers I see, in particular I don't like the very lewd ones (e.g. when she's straight up having sex, even worse if it's not with Hisao or a threesome) and those where the art style is considerably different from the VN.

Rtil has drawn a lot of Lilly pics, but several of them strike me as vulgar and/or OoC, it would seem that it's not easy to capture the Lilly essence for most artists

>HA! ARE YOU HAVING A SPLENDID TIME DUDE?
I was having a good time in this general, since I finished ks 2 weeks ago, engaging with community, posting and all but now I don't even have any motivation or drive to check it, my katawa dick disappeared and I don't feel that attached to the game or characters right now, I think that the usual life slow got me and I'm unsatisfied with myself, maybe it will pass, I hope at least.
Also, had you got katawa dick after you played Lilly's route? (also I noticed we stopped talking about Lilly and focused on other things in this convo, isn't that weird?) Are you still in this sad and emotional state like how you have been 2 weeks ago? Do you taken up other katawas routes? Are you having fun?

>if you had at least one real friend, someone who gets you and has played katashou
I think finding that friend would be difficult irl by every means, but I have you, /ksg/ anons, Aranon, Basil and other posters that I can freely talk with in this general, maybe the real friend we made along the way wasn't Lilly, but rather tea-anon?

>well, if you really feel that way, maybe. you don't seem dull or uneducated to me.
I'm not uneducated, but I think I lack some general knowlegde, like talking about normie things with normies, that is my weak point, since they don't give a shit about niche media, I'm catching up with watching old films and playing games to have something to talk about, like I was saying I improved, but I want to be able to talk with anyone on any topic with confidence and knowlegde, that shit would be so cool. I'm not forcing myself to like things I don't care about, but because of my personality and lack of motivation, I can't even get to watch a movie or anime, but shit will change, I hope.

>I'm not uneducated, but I think I lack some general knowlegde, like talking about normie things with normies, that is my weak point
If you want to fit in with the normies, the key isn't being all-knowing, it's generally just knowing how to listen and be naturally curious. Mostly because most normie conversations aren't that interesting, and they generally do not care that much for your hobbies or topics, but people like talking about themselves - if you can make them do that and find from it a topic they are passionate about, you've won, double so if you actually know anything about it. If they don't have such a topic, then they aren't really worth spending your time with.

well, I haven't been to r9k in some years, I used it when I was a le hekkin depressed teenager, I would scan the whole catty to see some threads and act le sad, I wasted my time there. Except /ksg/ I check up /sci/ once in a while, but I don't use that much fo' channel now, I just grew up and have some other shit to do.

>okay I'm sorry I didn't mean to understate your feelings
no, you didn't, I'll evaluate on this more.

>oh okay I misjudged the kind of person you are because I falsely believed that emotional people must also cry a lot. I wonder what it feels like to feel emotions the way you do
idk if it's because of the culture I grew up in, the environtment I was raised in, personality traits I might posses, maybe even genetics, but
I just can't cry that easily, I'm not that emotional like you guys here, I'm just very stable in terms of controlling and bottling up my emotions, I think that's a bad thing, because I would rather let it all out, but I physically and mentally cannot do it that often. KS on the other hand helped me feel those emotions again, this game will always live rent-free in my mind.

>ice been to poland and the czech republic
oh, very nice, how do you feel about those countries? Did you have fun, what tourist attractions have you seen?

>you mean to strangers? yup, I did pick up on that. so smiling and being overly polite isn't the norm either?
yeah, I don't mean nobody smiles but it isn't that casual like in the west, or more precisely in US. People are very friendly and caring, but only if you get to know them well, they put on a mask on, but take it once they can trust you.

maybe, I think the stereotype around eastern europe that we come as cold-hearted, but like I was saying this is more of a mask than actual thing.

>I get that it really irks you you can't just find an outlet for your pain and it feels like it's eating away at you. it sucks, I know. but crying over katashou doesn't really bring much relief unfortunately
it's good that we have this general, this place that we all can discuss and talk about things like this, to be understood by eachother and supported.

I'm a staunch determinist and fatalist, so things aren't random and "just happen", but they are bound by laws of universe and god himself, we depend on so many events that happen in our life, but it's also logical that all these things happen.

>no no, you too are able to feel intense emotions it's like you said you simply go about that in a different manner.

The smiling thing is a big one people know about, but it's interesting to me that this seems limited to being in the cultures of your home countries.

Good morning, /ksg/. In spirit of the edition, I started my day making my breakfast while listening to the 2015 version of Wiosna. Wiosna is of Polish for Springtime and blooming, but the song has a quiet reflectiveness to it that makes it feel appropriate for Autumn. This is the time of year I find myself considering most what decisions to make about my future, and I can't help but think back to staring at that title screen after my first route ending and feeling as though I needed to reconsider much of the trajectory of my life. That's the beautiful thing that brought us all here together, isn't it? Staring at the screen as this theme plays, thinking, and feeling.

My tea recommendation of the day suits such reflection, and is Gyokuro, a kind of green tea grown in the shade. Certainly an acquired taste, with the grassiness giving an umami that may put some off, but a soothing afternoon tea that's well loved by enthusiasts globally. As an aside, it's the first variety of loose leaf green tea I ever tried.

>>494847378
Good morning Emifriend, it is getting to that time of year, isn't it? I've been enjoying the duskier mornings personally, I enjoy the stillness of it. My city gets so busy in the Summertime, the longer nights and colder days bring a well needed peace. Was your run enjoyable?

>>494772554
I've never been one for reading many fics, despite writing them, but this is a real triumph for the writer. They've been at that for an awfully long time, I hope it receives a lot of well earned attention now it's finished. I have so much fondness for anyone who appreciates Saki or Rika as they should.

My, my, my, Emifriend. I didn't realise you were the tealinquent from yesterday. Since you're regretful of your actions, and have made corrections to your behaviour, I suppose I can let you off with a warning just this once. You're lucky I'm so kind.

Maybe the composer's background is Polish? It's difficult to say, with how little he's said of the OST. Whenever I named chapters for stories I was writing I would just have one come to mind that felt right. It was a very emotional decision, rather than any sort of logical one. The same is true for other creators I've spoken to, by and large.

Im kinda like that, in the sense that im a firm believer of canonical content.

>Could you give me a quick rundown on VGL and 4CC?
Alright so, 4CC/VGL is where boards/generals represented by football teams in PES compete into tournaments and such, 4CC and VGL are the main events but there's also smaller side stuff going on too. The matches are CPU vs CPU so the only human input is the team's tactics and player "stats" so to say so things are both balanced and hectic in a fun way. Another thing people do with their teams is use custom models, stadiums, fan chants, which makes it all quite kek worthy. The /ksg/ team had a good run in the past and it was also one of the first teams to ever exist in VGL. When i talked with the VGL people yesterday they had a positive reaction towards /ksg/'s revival so thats pretty inspiring and im hoping /ksg/ itself is also as excited for this as we are. If you want the raw details about 4CC and VGL in general, you can look through the wiki for more but do note the /ksg/ article has been rather old and rusty which makes me hope that we find a brave anon can also help with fixing that as well.

NTA but I think our bias in favour of canon content originates from fanfics being a humble black-on-white text, as opposed to a proper meal made of text, art and music.

The more basic corners of my brain may be prompt to acknowledge the canon as inherently superior, but I'm fairly sure there are some good fanfics out there who could effectively complement/redress (in a very unofficial manner) the occasional flaws of canon writing, in particular in the three controversial routes (Shizune, Hanako, Lilly). You are technically "breaking canon" by doing so, but it doesn't have to be a bad thing if the broken corner is something several readers (whether a majority or not) disliked in the first place.

That being said, I would outright shoot in the face whoever creates self-insert OC x Katawa fanart or fanfics, just to give a quick example of a line I don't want any fan to cross (you may have other examples in mind yourself)

I think its less about the way its presented and more about the raw quality and consistency of it. Since its a fan creation there's no sort of hard guidelines or concepts to follow hence most fan works take liberties ranging from few to story/character/setting altering and that can put off people understandably.

>I'm fairly sure there are some good fanfics out there
No arguments there, in the sea of fan works there's always good stuff to find.

>who could effectively complement/redress (in a very unofficial manner) the occasional flaws of canon writing
That, i cannot say for certain. Its cool to theorize and suggest tweaks but publishing it as a "What it should have been" or something, makes me raise an eyebrow in doubt and also kinda feels like throwing the original creation in the trash. Again, all routes have flaws yes but unless we get a true "patch" for them, there's no denying it that it is what it is.

>I would outright shoot in the face whoever creates self-insert OC x Katawa fanart or fanfics
I can see where you're coming from. If KS had a nameless protagonist that the player names then yeah we would get a free pass to just put anyone in there but since we got Hisao, its only fair to have him take that role.
I guess a no-no for me would be to forcebly incorporate OCs with the main cast in any way. You can still have a heartfelt story about cripples in their own circle, it doesnt have to involve the main cast, ya know? If anything that way its a lot easier to get creative since you dont have to treat lightly with the established canon as much. Another thing would be people who write up stuff about the main cast from their past but i guess this leans towards "muh canon" again but still, worth pointing out.

because it was made by the japanese, chances are they really thought the Christian images just 'looked cool' and that was the only reason they used them

it definitely is, but since the people making it weren't japanese themselves, it's possible their cultural influence seeped through and affected everything, hence the cross and lilly's faith matter

>>494860782
>You say it like its a bad thing...
Oh if I said that, it'd be somewhat hypocritical. I'd imply it though...

But thank you for the rundown, that does seem really interesting. So from I could tell, our main issue is the fact that most models that were used back then can't be recovered, so we have to make new ones, right? Plus obviously assemble a small team of anons willing to put it all together. Could be interesting.

>>494863671
>Its cool to theorize and suggest tweaks but publishing it as a "What it should have been" or something, makes me raise an eyebrow in doubt and also kinda feels like throwing the original creation in the trash.
Agreed, trying to one-up the original material generally does not work, and is often times just a bold decleration of "I know about the work better than the original creator". The best fics are those who built on top of the stablished framework - whether that be side stories, continuations, etc...
Plus I don't feel the "muh cannon" argument is *that* important if you build on top - the original story was made by a couple guys from 4chan, so if someone here is going to try to expand it in his own, respectful way, it's perfectly in the spirit of things.

On the topic of models, i did manage to salvage things but as you can see, its nothing that we should consider usable. Some need fixing and others need to be downright replaced. Boxheads are too basic and bland by today's standarts. Rin in a bin should literally be Rin in a bin, not a simple ass boxhead. The easy way would be to grab some KS models that already exist out there and stich them together to have something presentable.

>>494872475

That shouldn't be that difficult, considering the fact that 3D models exist for almost any girl. Making some meme-worthy adjustments also isn't that hard - well depending on the meme. Which brings up an interesting question - what even should our meme models be?

>It depends on the volume of what is being build on and what artistic liberties are taken because like i said, its too easy to get carried away.
Oh I agree, my original point was mostly related to more tastefull and respectfull aditions, not those which do a complete 180 a do something completely different in both tone and scope.

>>494876209
I suppose I should clarify - I don't think making what if's and alternative realities is an insult to the author, I infact quite like these stories if they're well-made. It's only when you present it as "What should've ACTUALLY happened" and not just as a cool what-if, then it becomes really annoying.
>>
>>494863671
If a story only has oc only interacting with other oc, then what would be the point of using the setting?
I dunno, I guess I dont mind oc so much as long as theyre well written, and I feel like theres plenty of space in the setting for a writer to be able to insert their own stuff. For example, what happens to Emi when Hisao goes down Lillys route?

Most things right now are PNG/Box heads which is pretty uninspired. Some can work as PNGs but this should not be the majority. Emi's buttshecks face and Lilly's "Are you frustrated?" long face can definetly work as PNGs but i'd like to see a proper model for Hisao for sure, have Rin be in an actual bin, running around will be pretty hilarious, Chocolate Hanako actually holding a bunch of chocolate on both hands would be funny too. Circling back to Emi she must have artificial legs, maybe even some mecha-like ones too. We could have >Comfort Misha be in a more revealing outfit to emphasize the supposed comfort, we could have Shizune in a knight's armor or somesuch because Risk. These are off the top of my head so any suggestions are also welcome.

I see your point, but its just that whenever people write stories that involve OCs and the canonical cast, they tend to put their own spin on it in a way that strays from the things the main cast is about/portraits. But again, this is with my experience with such fanwork.
>>
>>494887448
I can see most girls sorting themselves out without Hisao, the more worrying cases would be Rin and Lilly.
>>
>>494888458
Im not sure what Do it for Her's model is, but i would see either Hisao, or a green anon with running gear, a book, cup of tea and maybe some paint splatters

>>494867468
Suriko doesn't talk to fans on social media. He's so addicted to backstabbing others that he's become paranoid that whoever he messages will actually be a Hanako fan that weasels in and backstabs him. There are psych terms for this but you've probably observed it already in stories like Hamlet.
>>
>>494888871
Currently its a boxhead with a Do it for her collage of Hanako which i dont mind one bit. We could always switch it to a PNG head where its the same collage with all the girls for inclusion.

>or a green anon with running gear, a book, cup of tea and maybe some paint splatters

>>494888614
For Lilly specifically, I think it depends on what you count as a satisfactory conclusion.
If she never ends up dating Hisao, she will never get the message that manipulating guys with feelings for you is wrong.

Assuming Hisao goes for another girl, it would be necessary for Lilly to meet a Hisao-equivalent in Scotland for her to grow up and figure out her flaws.
Since she's upper class, she might end up having her parents find a fiancé for her, and it's really not a given she will appreciate his personality (which is at least likely to be snobbish and spoilt).

With Rin specifically, I can see how things are likely to go south for her if she doesn't meet someone who is willing to invest time and energy in genuinely trying to understand her (such as our beloved Saosao).

It's a matter of chance ultimately, none of the girls need Hisao the way they need air and water, it's just that meeting him in a good-ending context is a smoother and simpler solution to their problems than not meeting him and continuing to look for "Mr. Right"

"Upper class" in the Old World means you're born into wealth.
Especially in Britain, where there is a formal system of aristocracy which nobody for now has any serious intention of abolishing.
Even middle-class people who somehow become rich continue to identify as middle-class, precisely to make it clear that they were not born into wealth, they achieved it themselves.
If anything, it's the aristocrats that freeload off normal working people, and in fact it has been so for more than a literal millennium.
Even in the US, there's so-called Old Money

No, kids are naturally vile and cruel both to each other and to adults and to all living creatures. On top of that, they commit their atrocities even though they're perfectly aware they shouldn't be acting like that. So no, children are not inherently kind ever

Morning /ksg/

There's gonna be more testing later today before i go off to play children's card games after so long, how's your morning? I just made my trial cup of tea, i let it stew just 1-2 minutes over the recommended time because it took a while to react with the hot water. It has a surprisingly light gold color and the taste is unmistakenbly black tea goodness, i think next time i can use hotter water and more leaves to really bring out more of its flavor. 50g is also a buttload so i doubt i'll finish it within a week or something but i'll definetly try out others too.

Im glad you're having a good time Emifriend, she would be really proud of you. I know that you feel like its too soon to be certain and confirm something that has such gravity but i say you keep being so blunt with how you feel, express your excitement over your new routine. Living in doubt or being cautious is exhausting, its not wrong to be excited about the present because this is what you're living in right now. Past is gone and its nothing but memories and the future is as unpredictable as anything, so enjoy the present to the fullest in any way you see fit.

Regret is something i personally had only a few times in my life, maybe im too stubborn to admit that there were times i wish i did things differently but either way, its better to try and fail than to regret not trying in the first place. There's always that tiny chance you gonna succeed and you wont know until you try yourself. I hope you're back into the latter mentality anon.

>its better to try and fail than to regret not trying in the first place.
Depends also on whether it's just about you personally or if other people are involved.
I could easily list 4/5 things in life that I'm glad I ultimately did *not* do, despite feeling tempted to do so.
For example, openly asking someone out on a basis of a sudden crush (which could very well not be there any more in a few months) is unlikely to be a good idea. Just as an example

That and also if it objectively affects you negatively in some way. I didnt mention that since we're mostly adults here so of course i wouldnt ecourage anyone to do stupid shit for the sake of doing it.

>For example, openly asking someone out on a basis of a sudden crush (which could very well not be there any more in a few months)
That doesnt strike me as something entirely wrong to be honest. If you like a person, there's no harm in asking them out. Despite my many downs over the course of my life, i still have a bit of a hopeless romantic within me but even so, i dont find it wrong for people to just go out, see how it goes and build off of that and if there's no connection, well, at least you tried and found out. If anything i think its best if you do go after said person, that way you gonna find out if your feelings for them are true and more than just a crush and also find out if they're also interested. Expressing feelings of affection towards another person is a herculean task yes but the irony is that most of the time, its as easy as saying a sentence and sometimes it can lead to something great.

As for the topic at hand, of course you cannot live your life as a yesman and go after every single thing, but when something or someone that interests you comes along the way and you're able to make a move, there's no reason to not give it a shot ya know?

Its understandable to feel this way. Life's uncertainty isnt very pleasant and can easy bring you down, believe me. What we can do as mere people is to see past that and focus on what we have going on right now. I also get how its not possible to be optimistic all the time, you gotta have a grasp of reality too, however, when applicable, its better to not think of how bad things are/will be because it will only get you so far. A focus on the present is the best course of action i believe.

>Why are random people on 4chan the best motivational speakers on earth
4chan's anonymous format means people can be themselves here, in a positive and negative way. No one is holding back, everybody pours their heart out without any regard for their personal image.

So you can easily have the very highest and the very lowest of the internet whenever you come here

Which katawas would be easiest to groom into starting their own onlyfans accounts when they hit age of consent?

Emi is probably easiest and would be the most successful. She's the most sexually active already and greatest sexual experience. Dad's dead, so no strong father figure to set her straight. On top of all that, she looks very young for her age and can fill the niche of a legal loli.

Lilly would probably be difficult to groom. Not only does she have Akira watching over her, but her personality leads to at the very least keeping up the appearance of a prim and proper girl, despite her adolescent sex drive.

Hanako's self image issues make her especially difficult to groom. The way she acts and dresses is specifically made to not draw attention to herself. This runs counter to making her take off her clothes for money and the idea of strangers seeing her body might make her bluescreen on the spot. That being said, if sites like onlyPats or Paturbate existed, she'd be much easier to convince.

Misha would be easy to convince if you can catch her when she's vulnerable much like in the comfort Misha scene. Alternatively, if you can groom Shizune, Misha would be practically a freebie that comes with her.

Shizune can go either way. On one hand, she's smart, competitive and wouldn't want to do any damage to her future career before it's even started. On the other, she hates her dad. Leaning into daddy issues and resulting teenage rebellion might be the best bet with her. If successful, getting her brother to star as a femboy sissy would be almost as easy as getting Misha on board.

Rin might be convinced to do it, but there wouldn't be much success. Given her personality and interests, she may be convinced to explore the artistic quality of painting in the nude, or some such excuse. The obvious thotty "arts" such as bodypainting herself on stream may be a bit beyond her given the lack of hands. While she's able to do much with her feet, they're not that flexible.

Hisao potentially gets his dick covered with Misha's pussysnot in Shizune's route. She can try it then you help her get into Shizune's panties and are rewarded with plowing Shizune from behind while she goes down on Misha.

>>495035759
I really think a third-wheeling route in which he tries to get Misha with Shizune would've been great if not left to A22, but I understand the point of the game is romance

I don't think a girl who's willing to fuck you for comfort is fully gay unless she was that desperate and had no one else (which could apply to Misha)

As lesbians tend to abundantly explain, its pretty common for women to gaslight themselves into dating and bedding dudes even without sexual attraction ("compulsory heterosexuality").

Alright lets see...

>Emi
She would either play a Synchron deck because speed or an OTK deck to finish games quickly.

>Shizune
A very obnoxious combo deck that would either lock you out of actions or sit on many negates. She'd stick to the meta all the time and throw a fit if she'd lose. She thinks Baronne was ok to exist.

>Lilly
Im torn between Labrynth and Aromage. Two very fitting decks for her, while Aromage is slightly combo centric its still has a theming she'd really enjoy.

>Hanako
Burn decks and Volcanic memes aside, i think based on her personality, a FLIP effect deck would be ideal for her. The recently released Mimighouls would be perfect for her.

>Rin
She's the one doing all the silly techs that eventually lead to a board that will make you gasp in awe and she'll go "Ohh, it worked, i never thought it would..." or maybe something like Gren Maju and go "I attack with 10k, you dont have any battletraps right?"

>Misha

Everything is going great right now! I just started going on runs, and it's a lot of fun.
I also started college recently, I'm on my second week. High school has destroyed my self esteem and mental health, and this new environment is way better. Working on things that actually interest me, and also meeting new people like me is just awesome!
Back in high school, I felt hopelessly stupid for being incompetent in most subjects. Now that I'm fully studying the one subject I'm good in (computer science), I finally feel like I'm worth something for maybe the first time in my life.
My only worry right now is whether or not this will last. My mental health is very unstable so things could crumble at any moment.

>>495058839
I don't really jive with Hanako playing a set 5 pass since those are infamous for relying on topdecking instead of execution skill. Even for someone who's anxious and has trouble just being themself, a game has a directed goal, and she has a variable but nonzero amount of motivation to excel, at certain things. I would say a combo deck that doesn't get nibbed, so maybe Centurion with zero extenders. Treating her different for the sake of being different had some really pathetic outcomes in the past, like her sabotaged route. She became "the one who's defined by her disability"

Nice! There will always be shortcomings; nothing in life is perfect, so you're right to not let them bring you down if possible. Learn a lesson if there is one, and that's the best one can do.
>>495062728
College kicks ass, I hope you continue to ride this high. It's still good to gain exposure to other subjects, but your general education requirements will handle that. You have more control over that in college than in high school, so you might find something more to your taste. E.g. if you mostly disliked literature class but enjoy sci-fi, there might be a science fiction course that fulfills a requirement.

Chess Archfiends were the first ever archetype.
Puppet Pawn/King/Queen exist, and barely qualify because Promotion wants an archetypal card.

>>495065753
I dont see her meek personality as a con nor does it make her seem something she isnt. Girls do not need such physical or psychological trauma in order to be like that.My ex was almost exactly like this when i first met her. On the topic at hand, Flip effect decks arent as "braindead" as they seem and i think Mimighoul specifically is a nice fit due to the fun theming and decent powerlevel. I did thought of picking Ghosttricks but i wasnt sure.

>>495066038
As far as i recall, the only one that comes close to that was the initial wave of Archfiends and that is a bit of a mess quality wise much like the other anon said.

Fortune Ladies for being my all-time favorite and wish it would get more support to make them viable.
Heraldic Beasts for the cool theming and XYZs
Superheavy Samurai for their unconventional yet fun gameplay

Zombies can be a pain to deal with unless you got banishing but i get the appeal, plus they're really versitile and can have a variety of builds plus owning people with Skull Servants is never out of style.

>>495067698
Does she think her anxiety is a bad thing? Yes. Does she get what she wants in her sabotaged route? No.
I can tell that the visual language behind flip monsters is based on hiding and passivity. The latter mostly a side effect because if mega powerful effects like vanity's emptiness and io were on green cards they would have changed the state of the game. This means cold wave.
I'll suggest she might also like the hidden power within an unassuming normal monster, which could be phantasm spiral, or primoredial if it ever becomes playable.

I don't want to spoil anything for you, plus it would detract from the feelings of accomplishment once you land a katawa's path. Try not to be a shut-in like Kenji. But his ending is fairly common (actually, if you're totally lost and choosing randomly, you get Kenji 54% of the time), so don't think that you're just being (completely) a gay sperg.

Whether you finish a full route or not, consider filling out the survey we have going on for the next few (?) days (it's in the second post). We haven't done one in a long time, and new and old players are encouraged to fill it out.

I selected both bi and straight cause I would describe myself as "mostly straight" which sounds dumb and like cope ik but i had the option to for whatever reason
It is kinda funny how I basically skewed the results a bit because of that, I even mentioned it here before, it was probably in the last thread
I can't say if anyone else has done the same
>>
>>495208921

Eh, you did the right thing if selecting both made sense to you and the poll allowed it. If the poll only allowed single responses we'd be missing out on information. You sound bi to me, but you're the one living it, so I'll trust that the "mostly straight" carries a lot of weight with you

I guess I've always questioned it but I've mostly felt attraction towards women but it's undeniable now that I have a slight attraction to men. I relate more so to straight dudes though since that's how I've seen myself all my life and my attraction to men is like I said not that much but it doesn't exactly feel completely accurate to say I'm one or the other so I dunno

Hello /ksg/ I got out of bed pretty late this time.

I liked your responses on my last night's question so here's my answer. I think the best thing would be waking up and see her laying next to me, still asleep with mouth agape. If patting her head wakes her up, i'd greet her "Good morning" and proceed to cuddle her. That would be the best for me.

I would tour Hokkaido with her, all of it, in winter.
She likes snow and could enjoy the places, despite her lack of sight.
Furthermore, unlike me, she speaks proper Japanese and could easily act as a translator with locals.
Hopefully she likes crab meat, because that's part of the local cuisine.
Know what, Hanako can come as well, I am going to keep the atmosphere very Platonic and modest

I first read Katawa Shoujo when it first came out. I must've been around 14 at the time, only doing Hanako's route. It made me feel very empty.
I've been better since then, at least getting my life together a little. I hadn't thought about Katawa Shoujo in a very long time, but I started reading it again when I saw it came out on steam, and I just finished Hanako's route again, now that I'm pushing 30. And I still feel that same emptiness.
What do I do with myself now?
>>
>>495277019
Play other routes, live, become a better person knowing she would have wanted you to

>>495277626
I think I took that to heart way back when in 2011. I was a shitty kid, and I don't think I could've envisioned becoming who I am now back then. I can confidently say I'm a good person. But I still don't see the point.
I'm not gonna kill myself or anything, I'm just struggling how to comprehend these emotions. Trying to figure out why I'm waking up in the morning.
>>
>>495277019
>And I still feel that same emptiness.
I can perfectly relate.
It's been 10+ years and it still hurts just as much, Lilly and Rin's routes in particular.

I think you should accept that you live in an imperfect world far removed from anime idealism, and that you won't get an unambiguously good ending in this life, because no matter how big we dream, we are all surrounded by heavily flawed human beings and burdened by what-has-been.

But you can still try to make the most out of it while you can. You are the one who sets the goal, on the basis of what you believe to be your innermost potential.
Become kinder, fitter, more creative, more mature, bolder, etc.
Do whatever will prevent your future days from feeling a bit too similar to each other.
Either make peace with the past or forget about it forever, whichever makes more sense to you

Just try to take control of your life, if you don't have it already, and also take responsibility for whatever happens as a consequence of your own choices.
That's pretty much it
>>
>>495278663
No, yes, that... makes a lot of sense. Thank you.
It's just that I feel I've already done all of those things. Taken charge of my life, made plans for the future, worked towards my dreams. I don't think my life can realistically get any better than it is right now. So I still can't help but be disappointed that 'this is it'.

I do disagree with you on one thing, though. Of course we don't live in an ideal anime world, and there's no such thing as a good ending. But I don't think the characters in Katawa Shoujo are that removed from real human beings. Things Hanako says near the end are almost the exact same as things my male best friend has told me, at some times word for word. And I've met some very interesting women that completely go against what you might think the stereotype for women (especially that you get on 4chan) is.

But yes. Obviously the emptiness itself doesn't go away. I wasn't hoping for such a convenient solution to present itself. And I still want to fight to try and make things better, even if I can't envision how. I think I just need to post in here for a bit. I'm very appreciative of the empathy and kind words, from both you and >>495277626.
Thank you.

I think the fact that you posted here is a good start. I can definetly relate to you as we're both Hanakobros and of similar age.

Making a post here, having a cry, sharing how you feel, vent about something and anything in between are good ways to let this pent up emotions out. After that, its all up to you really, nobody can force you to pick up new habits/hobbies, socialize, work on things etc, that wouldnt be right. One thing i can give as an advice is for you to keep doing what you love, so long as it doesnt have a negative impact on you physically and/or mentaly. A good life is being able to do what you love, so go for that and your life will feel ever brighter.

I know how hard it is to stop thinking about how lonely, misunderstood, and unlucky you are sometimes, it undoubtably sucks, but if it gives you any solice, you're not in this alone, me and many others out there know exactly what you go through, so dont feel bad for it, express yourself, let it all out, we're in this together.

>>495277019
It's unfortunate, but Hanako's route generally fails to inspire people. We understand here.

>>495279186
Thank you very much. It's more appreciated than you know. I've never posted in KSG before, and always joked with friends it was a little dorky that it was still ongoing after all these years - I haven't actively used 4chan in a very long time, and I'm very surprised at the kindness on display in here.
I don't like being coddled, of course. So I'll try my best to help any other anons too. I don't know if it's passe to post discord accounts if anyone needs someone to talk to here, so for now I'll just post in here and try and do what I can for anyone that needs a hand.

I kind of understand, but if I were in your position, I would probably breathe a sigh of relief if I came to realise that it really cannot get any better, and that I am not procrastinating another self-improvement quest because they are all accounted for.
You might have heard of the saying "No need to worry if there's a solution, and no need to worry if there's no solution"

>But I don't think the characters in Katawa Shoujo are that removed from real human beings.

By all means, count your blessings.
Be grateful for every good thing/person that comes your way.
I was merely expressing my general impression of mankind, and in any case, having flaws doesn't necessarily translate to being unpleasant and unfriendly, that's just a particularly self-evident type of flaw

>I don't know if it's passe to post discord accounts if anyone needs someone to talk to here, so for now I'll just post in here and try and do what I can for anyone that needs a hand.

Each girl hits your feels a different way. Emi invokes motivation and understandably so. She is a driving force that just keeps you going and the fact that she wants you too to keep going is really motivating. Hanako invokes emotional emptiness due to how consistently relatable she is with the majority of her fans. A person that wants to be loved and treated the same way as anyone else. Nowdays it's bordering on terrifying to be yourself nowdays, people will call you names, laugh at you, judge you for your hobbies/interests/lifestyle and most of all, never see the true you, only make an impression out of your "exterior". So when people that feel this way see Hanako, they see someone who feels exactly the same, they see their perfect mate.

>>495280636
Isnt it obvious already? I think what i said to the other anon is perfectly applicable to me as well. Hanako is a woman that is such a rarity in real life it hurts. A woman who will see the real you much like she wants you to do for her. She's compasionate, endearing and her smile can warm even the coldest of hearts. She really is that precious to me.
>>
>>495280636
NTA, but I always found the question "who is your favourite girl" to be really difficult to answer. It's comparable to "what's your favourite movie" - I don't know if I'm supposed to answer with the movie I consider the best artistically, the one I'd enjoy watching the most, or some linear combination of the two qualities.
Same with the girls - the one I'd enjoy being with the most romanticaly would likely be Lilly, the one I'd likely enjoy time spent the most is Emi, the most complex and interesting girl from a narrative and a overall character depth point is likely Rin, but my overall favourite route is tied between Emi and Lilly. (And I enjoy posting Snoozu, because why not). I suppose I could go a bit more in depth, a thread or two back we had a discussion over the romantic appeal of Lilly, which was quite interesting.
>>
Sure, discord was really just an example of a method to talk directly to someone one-on-one. I appreciate the freedom anonymity grants someone, as there's no real fear of being judged - there's nothing to really judge to begin with. At the same time, I feel a personal and direct conversation can kind of help better in certain ways - and if anyone needs a good listener to talk to, I want to make myself available, regardless of the platform used.
And I have no delusions about being extremely lucky, of course. I'm able bodied, I have at least a few friends, and I have enough money to eat every day. The loneliness does still hit hard sometimes though. As is to be expected.

I'll probably do some light doodling. Any suggestions welcome, as long as there's no expectation of quality.

>>495281924
Your favorite movie is the one you enjoy watching the most - as opposed to what you think is 'the best' movie. And I'd hope choosing between 5 girls is easier than choosing one movie out of however many you might've seen in your life, but I understand your point nonetheless.
Your answer is interesting enough to serve as a satisfying answer though, so thank you very much. Besides, you're always allowed to have more than just one favorite.

I don't think I relate to Hanako, personally. It's more so that I very much want to make her happy, and learn from her. I think I know exactly the things she needs to hear, because I've struggled a lot in learning to love other human beings, along with myself. Maybe that is a kind of 'relating' to her though, I don't know. I just want to make her happy.
For what it's worth, women like that might be rare - along with any human that's that kind, but they exist. I promise you that they do.

Oh I agree, most people don't have an issue answering most of these questions. I'm just really analytical with my thinking, and tend to overanalyze even the simplest things. Which is a part of the reason I like to stick around in these threads - you get a wonderful opportunity to really dig deep and think through the inner depth and impact of one of my favurite works of fiction with fellow anons, which is quite rare in this day and age.

Very nicely put. I'm not the biggest Hanako fan in the world, but I get the appeal. I suppose a reason for that is the fact that I'm generally a pretty unfiltered person, who is generally not afraid to share his thoughts and views. So I'm bit of a polar opposite of Hanako. But I do know a lot of people with similiar problems to hers, albeit at a lesser scale.

>>495282767
>It's more so that I very much want to make her happy, and learn from her.
If you want to make her happy, then be the best version of yourself you can be, and give her a helping hand whenever she needs one. I think an overall fixation on making her happy and helping her could be a bit detrimental, although noble in spirit.

>>495282767
>For what it's worth, women like that might be rare - along with any human that's that kind, but they exist. I promise you that they do.
I'd like to think so, but previous sour experiences with ex-girlfriends and people in general are really discouraging me. It almost feels like i was born in a wrong era, in a timeline where people's feelings and true selves are cast aside and if you want to find someone, you should cast those aside as well, and thats what i hate the most, i dont want to change for the sake of not being alone. I know people have flaws and would be better off with fixing them, but at least in the current society, changing means turn into any other bloke out there because "thats how normal people are" and that always ticks me off. Let people be and love them for what they are, not what you want them to become.

>>495283402
Yeah exactly. Some people are not as fortunate to be able to show their true side to others and feel good about it or have positive results. There's always this feel of discomfort and "fear" that if you say too much, people's impression of you gonna do a complete 180, so most of the time its better to just sit in the backstage and only ever go for it when there's a certainty that you will not be viewed differently. When there are those moments you can open up, its the best.

I can 100% relate to this. I am a complete asshole and nobody likes me, yet I somehow can't change. I've completely lost my ability to feel love. I recently felt a spark with a girl but it went away immediately and I somewhat hate her now for basically no reason.
I hope I'll find a way to fix myself. At least I'm working on myself right now...

You really do sound a lot like a certain friend of mine. Just like Hanako does.
I don't think it has anything to do with the era you're born in. It has more to do with the people you spend time with.
That is, of course, a matter of luck, but there's a certain thing I remind myself of sometimes that helps me keep my chin up, and I hope it'll do the same for you:
A relationship is between two people. You, and someone else. Whether it be romantic or just friendship. So it doesn't matter what the 'norm' is, it doesn't matter if 99% of people are evil and can't be trusted. You just need one other person to think the same way you do, and that's not at all impossible. It's just one person.

I don't think you should 'change' yourself, but you should improve yourself, so to speak. without changing who you really are, or doing anything you definitely don't want to. Hanako does change over the course of her route, after all. She gets more courageous and willing to do new things. But she doesn't ever betray herself. I think that's more important.
And you probably don't necessarily care, but I love you, anon. I don't want you to change for anyone, and I think you're just right, just as you are. I'm sure that's what Hanako would think, too. Maybe.

>>495283402
I am very much like you, in that I'm very unfiltered, but I think that's what draws me to Hanako. It's what gives me the confidence I can help her with the parts she needs help with.

Man, I haven't used 4chan in a while, and it's difficult to keep track of who is who. I know that's the point, but it does confuse my feeble mind a little.
>>
>>495284645
I'm very sorry to hear that, anon. I'm sure you can change. You just need to figure out what you want to change. What parts of your personality are important to you, and you don't want to give up on? What parts of yourself do *you* want to see changed? You have to start off by making a plan, and trying to figure out what's right, and what's wrong. People can always improve. Of course, I'm sure you don't need to 'fix' yourself. You just need to figure some things out. Rather than change the person you are, change which parts of yourself you focus on.
And running is impressive! I recently reached a record of 5 kilometers, which I'm pretty proud of. Do share how long a distance you ran, and what your goal is.

>You just need one other person to think the same way you do, and that's not at all impossible. It's just one person.
That what brings me down the most. Judging by my experiences, how things work nowdays and my age, a person like that seems so out of reach, as if im asking for made-up individual, someone that doesnt exist. I know that this is statistically impossible but the odds of meeting such person are also against me, or it simply feels that way. I want to be optimistic about it but i've been hurt in variable degrees so many times, its hard to be.
>>
>>495286140
I don't really know what the right method is - both in terms of practicality and without seeming like an overreaching tard - but if you need someone to talk to, a friend, I'd like to do anything I can for you. I'm not a cute girl, but I am still pretty good at being kind to other people, if that's worth anything. I'm at least not out of reach.

I get your point, and it is precisely for that reason I think one should be more honest and open to who he actually is. If you are truly open and act "unfiltered" from the start, you won't have to fear anyone doing a 180, as they are already used to you. The catch is that being truly open will filter out a lot of people from the start, but is it truly worth it to keep these people around you?
Speaking from experience, I do have a couple friend groups, and I can act almost however I like and get away with it - because I've been honest from the start.
However, take it with a grain of salt with relationships. I'm not saying the typical advice of "just be yourself bro", I'm saying you should be honest and open. You have a core inside you which you cannot and should not attempt to hide or change, however the bad habits and behaviours should be changed and worked on. You shouldn't change your core personality, your inner ego for the sake of others and not being alone, but you should embrace positive change and bettering yourself. Your bad haits are not you, they are but a parasite leeching on your core.

>>495284645
Good job man, glad you are keeping up the routine.
If you remain positive and appreciate the beauty of your progress and the struggles, I'm sure you can become less of an "asshole". Excercise helps you with confidence and overall calmness, plus it tends to humble. I think the effects are wonderful, both on mind and spirit.

>What parts of your personality are important to you, and you don't want to give up on?
My biggest problem is that I'm always acting very antagonistic towards everyone. I have a tendency to make myself the center of attention even when I don't really like it. I'd say I'm a pretty funny person but I almost always use dark humor that'll often get as many people upset as laughs. I can be funny in other ways but it's either by using references (that'll give it a high chance of flopping), or by being very situational.
So, people usually see me as either funny but annoying, or just an asshole.
I'm also overly blunt but that isn't inherently an issue, although it does make my bad tendencies worse.

>What parts of yourself do *you* want to see changed?
I want people to stop seeing me as annoying and/or an asshole, but I honestly have no idea how I can change that. I've tried to convince myself to stop acting like that but I just can't, that's just how I am.

>Do share how long a distance you ran, and what your goal is.
I can run about 1km at most. I don't have a set goal but I'd like to at least to that same kilometer-long route I'm doing without being completely exhausted.

You seem to have a pretty good plan already. I think my advice regarding humor is just to 'learn your audience'. It's normal human behavior to adjust your personality depending on who you're conversing with, and once you know someone's okay with dark humor, you can do it to whatever degree you find appropriate, while holding back more to people you're unsure of whether they'd appreciate it or not. It's important to learn people's boundaries.

If you're often unwillingly in the center of attention, it'd be good to try and figure out exactly why, and how you can avoid it. Try and put yourself in other people's shoes. What can you do to try and call less attention to yourself?

As for being antagonistic, that's more of a worldview issue, I think. So it's a little hard to give some advice and tell you 'just do this'. It's obviously not that simple. Best I can tell you without knowing more about who you are, is to try and remember no one's really your enemy. Everyone is genuinely just trying to do their best. Some people are stupid, and make the wrong decisions because of it, but no one aside from the severely mentally ill are ever going to try and purposefully cause you harm for no discernible reason. People are, at their core, good. At least, that's what I believe.

It's not exactly that I dislike being in the center of attention, it's the fact that I end up in it more often that I'd like because of my own behavior.

>Everyone is genuinely just trying to do their best.
I know that (or I'd like to believe so), but even so I just hate some people. I'm just a really hateful person.
I recently met a guy at school, we had to do a week-long group project together so I spent quite some time with him. I can tell he's nice and is trying his best, but I kinda hate him simply because he's a little naive and is the more reserved kind of person. At this point I'm looking for very minor things to hate him over, it's really strange.

You can't. Or atleast not conciously. That's the fun part.
What other people think of you, or how they percieve you, is out of your control. That all depends on their subjective view of reality, and good luck trying to mess with that. What you can do is continue moving on - try to better yourself and find out what truly lies in your core, and what is just a habit. I'm much the same way - I like dark humor, and I am somewhat unapologetic when it comes to my remarks. And to be honest, there is not that much I could do about that - it was a core part of me. So I've learned,(or well, I'm still learning), how to get my point sacross in a better way. Meaning I don't have to compromise and lie to people, I still get across the message I want in a honest way, but I don't sound like a complete asshole while doing so.

>>495288430
>That's my main goal right now. Hopefully working on my body will also improve my spirit. I've heard that a lot
Oh it does. It certainly helped me with my inner peace. The main advantage I can recall is feeling a lot more confident, both in posture and overall behaviour. and from this confidence comes a calm demeanor. Someting in the sense of "I think highly of myself, so why would I need to needlesly put someone down or get angry at someones remarks?". Which helps you in, well, not acting like an ass.

>>495288816
>In my defense, i've grown more bold over the last few years but not to a point i'd be 100% open about myself, after all, you cannot reveal your true powerlevel.
I'm not suggesting going full /pol/-tier at the start, which I know you understand, but I just want to clarify. I'm merely advocating for being honest and open about your core and values, not that much about your opinions on things, that's not that important.
But props for being more open. It's certainly not easy, but it's a great path to be on.

Ah, at your age you can't always fix everything right away. At the same time, your brain is much more malleable, which can be a plus. I honestly think the best thing you can do is just give yourself some leeway. Be more patient with yourself, and accept you're not perfect. Not only will it make it easier for you to endure these trying times, it'll likely make you more tolerant of others too. You've just got to learn to forgive yourself.

NTA but we're the same age so maybe we're also similar in the regard that I notice I usually am nitpicky with people like that when I'm not in the best mood myself. Misery loves company they say so maybe you're not feeling too good about yourself and taking out on everything?

That's good. The simple fact you're reflecting over yourself at 18, and want to make a change, is a very respectable trait.
You have a tough path ahead of you. But it's a satisfying one. The thing that pulled me through was a strong inner desire to better, to do more and better than others, and to truly excell. That's not a universal motivation, but it worked for me. So find a reason you want to be better. Anything goes, as long as it's personal.
The key is leaning to live with yourself, and truly embracing who you are. You have to become a friend with your reflection in the mirror. You'll spend most of your life with that person, so you better get used to him and treat him well. Once you can do that, you'll be confident in who you are, you will not be ashamed of being open and honest - for you know you are a great person and a friend to yourself, so why would you want to hide it? And from that, inner happienes and succes can be achieved. The best, most succesfull people I've met, and the people I consider my best friends, all follow this trend. They believe themselves, and want to show themselves to the world, not being afraid of anything.
So good luck.

Good afternoon, /ksg/. I apologise for not checking in for a while, my health is better and worse, and unfortunately it wasn't tremendous for a while there. However, I'm back home with a rather large pile of books I picked up on the way to keep myself occupied, and it warms my heart as it ever does to see you all again. I do hope I haven't missed too much. My tea recommendation of the day is Ceylon Orange Pekoe. One of the more distinctive and well known black tea blends, it has an almost toast like taste to it, with note of citrus and honey. A truly timeless classic, enjoyed by the occasional tea drinker and the connoisseur both.

I will be closing the survey tomorrow morning, also, so an enormous thank you to everyone who took the time to fill it in, and a gentle reminder for those yet to do so.

I'm personally a believer of the "split attraction" model of sexual orientation. Someone could also simply not feel one label adequately describes them, and use multiple. Largely, I don't believe in limiting the ways in which others can describe themselves.

Aranon hi! Its great to have you back. If you noticed the latest posts you gonna see we got some new people which is impressive i'd say, still attracting attention as if nothing changed. The survey amassed a lot of responses which is also quite the feat. i had a feeling something was wrong and couldnt help but worry. Hope you stay out of trouble from now on.

Greetings, our local celebrity.
I'll have to write down all your tea reccomendations one day. I plan to go tea shopping sometimes during next week, so it should be interesting.
Good job on the survey. The results are certainly interesting, and one can gather some substantial data from there.

I've been able to have a peak here and there, and I've noticed there's still a steady stream of lovely new posters. It makes me terribly excited to start planning a few community events, perhaps a cytube movie watch together or something similar. I'd also love to host an art challenge, judging by how many people seem to have picked it up from the survey answers. Yes, it's unfortunately something of a bad spell for me at the moment, a few different things have acted up at once. Hopefully I'm through the thick of it now, and can get back to my relaxing mornings with my dear friends here.

My, anon, whomever could that comic be inspired by? Perhaps some dashing and roguish young lady with a very good sense of how one should enjoy their tea, no? That's awfully cute of you to draw that, it's really brought a smile to my face. To answer your question, 100C is a perfectly acceptable temperature to brew black tea. I'd recommend investing in a tea thermometer, as the mug often cools the temperature of the water, so you may find you need to heat the mug with a bit of boiling water before adding the tea. It takes a bit of practise to get right. It's not something you need to get too worked up about, as far as tea requirements go. Green tea is a bit more particular.

>>495307064
You wouldn't be the first to make that suggestion, anon! Thank you for your well wishes. Yes, I do have both of those, but I wouldn't be in an awful hurry to post it publicly here, for reasons I'm sure you can imagine. However, I'd be perfectly happy to add others if we talk regularly in the general.

Oh hush, you. Hello to you too, Suzufriend. I appreciate someone holding the banner of one of the old fanroute favourites high in this day and age.

We could definetly use more art, its gonna bring some variance in posting and into our collections. Watchalongs could be interesting too, but i suggest we start of with something easy and not too sappy, we got enough crying out of KS as is heh. Speaking of community activities, i know you might not be too keen on sports, even virtual ones but i hope you and the rest of /ksg/ look forward for the rivival of our VGL team which i've been working on lately. I was approached by another team's manager and if i manage to fix a few things in time, we might have our first friendly game next friday after so long. Its not gonna be perfect but i hope it sparks some interest in everyone and cheer the team on and who knows, maybe we'll enter the real thing and reach the top or have fun trying.

I'm trying to think about how a Miki route would work, from what little we get to see of her she seems to have her shit together just fine, enough to be helping others with their issues too, now maybe something can be made from that, like she dreams of becoming a therapist or something, then there's the issue with overlapping with Emi, although that could be remedied be saying she likes to hang out at the pool that gets mentioned at the beginning of the game, that could even be where you meet her.

That's how social interactions are for everyone. You might not see people outwardly bothered by this, but it's the case even for normies. How many people have 40 close friends? Virtually zero. Everyone has to interact with dozens and dozens of people to find a handful that they're willing to spend more time on, and if they're lucky they'll form a strong connection with just one of those. Then they repeat with a new set of a few dozen interactions. If you cut down on the number of new people to meet, you will end up prolonging how long it takes to find that first good connection, let alone all the others.

Oh goodness, there's no "main person" here, just a few regulars who post a little more than others that some keep track of, and I'm one of those. However, I organised and provided art for the survey that's been running, and like to talk here all day about tea. I also have an arrhythmic disorder, and some anons like to ask me about that.

It's my pleasure to make your acquaintance, new anon. Have you been out jogging like the other Emifriends, or are you simply relaxing with us, enjoying the good conversation here? Thank you for your kind wishes, I appreciate it enormously.

>>495309965
It's a bit spur of the moment, but perhaps we could watch a few anime OVA's tomorrow around this time? Saturday wouldn't be a bad day for it, and I'll be resting in bed regardless. I'll need some time to plan an art event, but there were a few groups that did regular art challenges back when the game launched, and I'd be more than glad to carry on the torch first raised by Capslock.

I'm not opposed to sports, I'm just more of a fencing sort of person. I will, however, be there to cheer on our team, pom poms and all. I'm eager to be a part of any community events.

>>495310670
We're so happy to have you, drawfriend. Please don't be discouraged by anonymity, I've made dear friends here despite that. As long as you make an effort to stop by and say hello often, you'll have no trouble making friends. Your Hanako is dearly adorable, also.

I suppose someone could put it in a pastebin set to expire after a short time in their reply to me? I know it's a bit hypocritical to suggest others do so, but I think it's fair for me to be a little more cautious than others.

Oh, thank you. I thought if no one wanted to represent the alt-girls, then I will. I'll likely switch it up sometime. I did expand both my Miki and Saki collections, so I'll likely choose a different girl each thread.
I'll let you know about the tea, but I'll try to start by myself. My mother used to enjoy tea very much, so I'm familiar a bit with what I enjoy.

>>495309965

I do have a couple theories, and I plan to test them out sometimes. Like how much the effect is tied to the enjoyment of the VN, your age, relationship status, etc... I think I could rope some fellow /fit/izens in when NNN starts, which should provide interesting data.

Regarding the watchalongs, I think it's a neat idea. We could organize one during these hours some day, seeing as us eurobros are still active and americanons have already woken up. I know we did a streak of dbz movies back in /a/ a couple months back, and it worked out well.

>>495310670
I'm glad you enjoyed yourself. The anonimity is a double-edged sword, I agree. It's sad you won't know anyone here personally, however it allows for a greater degree of freedom for everyone here. It's like life - everything is temporary, so enjoyit while it lasts.

>>495314202
>So when i claim someone as my friend i mean it in a big way.
The topic of friends is always interesting. I do have a great amount of people in my inner circle, and do generally go out with groups of them quite often, but I still wonder if I truly am a proper friend, or if I consider them as such. It's weird. You are surrounded by numerous people, but consider only a few as true friends.
It reminds me of Griffith, funnily enough. Many comrades, but you don't see them as equals.

You're very right, though life being as temporary as it is is something i've never been able to fully digest. Assuming you're the same shizune guy that's been posting her this thread, you especially seem like a very good person.

Anyway, I'm done for tonight. I ended up drawing all the main girls, too! Hanako, Rin, Emi and Lilly! That's all of them, right? I'm pretty sure that's all of them.

>>495313775
I don't think it's a mod, I think it's a standalone VN and story using the same engine. I could be misremembering, but I think you just unpack it somewhere and run it. You play as Miki and there are two possible routes: one for Suzu and one for Hisao
>>495314202
>very sceptical person and how i tend to put great value
I'm very skeptical and picky about people as well; but it makes me value the friends I do have all the more, because I realize how rare and special they are. In turn, I show them attention and care that I don't spend on most people, and my friends see that and feel even more appreciated/valued.
So yeah, it's a nice little feedback loop, and you do have to try to get to that point. There's a lot of time and energy that will go to waste, but you'll get better at balancing your time/attention as you go. That's just the reality of social interactions, same as how if you want to be really fit you need to put in a lot of time and work at a gym or the like. It sucks that there's no easier way, but that's the way it goes, and not exercising isn't really a superior option.

I'm the sort of person who can't really sit still, so I have a lot of hobbies. Charitably, you could call me a Renaissance woman. Uncharitably, you could suggest I'm tested for Attention Deficit Disorder.

I like to represent Miss Katayama when I can, she's very special to me. It's a shame she doesn't have an awful lot of art that's, appropriate, but I'll be doing my part to change that soon. Hm, I might keep calling you Suzufriend even if you're posting Saki, it's just simpler for my easily confused little mind.

My own mother used to make us tea every day after school, with a few biscuits on the side. It was the beginning of my fondness as well. Is NNN Nanonwrimo, also? I've participated in that before, it's good fun!

>Like how much the effect is tied to the enjoyment of the VN, your age, relationship status, etc
I'd argue that the feels KS invokes is a huge faction but that could be said for any emotional work of fiction yet i dont think others manage to nail this down as reliably as KS. Sure you might get emotional over a movie but it wont kill your sex drive, not a chance, or at least in that level or length.

On the topic of friendship and such, for me personally, i take these bonds very seriously. Sure i know bunch of dudes from my cardgame circle and i do like hanging out with them but calling them "friends" would be a far reach. I doubt that if something in my life goes south they gonna jump in to save the day, not that i wouldnt appreciate it if they did or that they're apathetic, we're simply not on this level ya know? Maybe its my too innocent mentality when it comes to people's relations but whenever i go out of my way to call someone a friend, that means a whole lot, im a huge advocate of "eternal" bonds i suppose.

Thats exactly how i feel. I had this friend for decades, we stood by each other through thick and thin, until eventually he grew distant and wasnt there when i needed him, its been almost two years since that and he acts like i never existed to begin with. I just cut all ties with him for good and im not looking back, i decided to be this cold as well because much like i've already said, i put real value into those things. I just wish people in general were honest with their feelings all the time, so we could skip all this misplaced trust on each other.

Maybe something on his end? Maybe he felt offended by something you did(n't) do, or someone told him a false rumor about you. If you guys don't try and address growing distances before it's too late, falling out of friendship is inevitable. Sorry to hear that happened, though.

It was definetly his end. Whenever he gets involved romantically with someone, he simply vanishes and gets "busy" all the time. This was the last straw considering how before that, i was there for him when we ironically enough got dumped at around the same time. I brought him home, didnt put any financial strain on him since he was out of a job, lend an ear to his ramblings, even allowed for one of his flings to come over so they could do their thing and he repays me with ignorance and complete apathy for my own problems that followed after that, so yeah, fuck him. I learned from our mutual friend that he plans to marry this girl he's been with and needless to say i was the last to know, so even in the huge off chance that he ends up inviting me to the whole thing i will simply refuse. I did reach out to him before, he didnt bother interacting back with me for two years so i could care less at this point. Its just tiresome to try your best with people that in the end treat you like this.

On a more serious note, thank you for the compliment. You do seem like an interesting person aswell, and I do hope you'll check back in here from time to time. Your drawings are also very appreciated, you have great talent.
Regarding the uuncertainty of life, it's complicated. I always joke around that I'm good friends with lady death, as I do have quite a history with her. I'm also really interested in ancient philosophy, in which death plays a major part quite often. So I've slowly grown to terms with her, and really treat her almost as an old friend. It helps me keep my cool.

>>495316595
She's the girl I have the least material on, quite unfortunate. I do hope you'll make some, she deserves it. And you call me whatever you want, I don't care. If I wanted to be known by something, I wouldn't be on 4chan.

>My own mother used to make us tea every day after school, with a few biscuits on the side.
That sounds wonderful. My mother used to make tea for breakfast when I still went to school, and having a nice, warm cup of tea during the morning is still my favourite thing. Especially now, when it gets colder.
And NNN is well, not that. Let's just say nofap threads always surge in popularity during November, so promoting KS as the ultimate nofap solution could yield some test subjects. Kek. But thank you for introducing me to Nanowrimo, it does look interesting. I'll check it out tommorow.

>>495317775
The way you put it, I think our idea of friendship is similiar - as it being something more than simply enjoying someones company.. The issue I have is the fact that a lot of people around me are nerds with not that much social life, so I'm pretty sure they consider me a friend, meanwhile I think of them as one the x people I like to talk to daily. I don't think the mindset is innocent or wrong, quite the opposite - it's honestly noble. But it does lead to these strange situations.

It's funny you mention philosophy. I was so terrified of death as a kid I was obsessed with metaphysical philosophy, and I still know a lot about it to this day. It never really helped my fears, though. I do live a very sheltered life.
I'd recommend the manga 'We shall now begin ethics'. it's more focused on the ethics aspect (duh), but it is a very good manga about philosophy.

I'm a pretty slow worker on normal drawings, too. Pic related, this is honestly a pretty simple thing, but the work it took me was spread across a full week. The trick to fast doodles is just to not care about if they're ugly or not. I'm not gonna get into the specifics of whether they actually are ugly, because that's besides the point - I don't care if they're ugly while drawing. I just put down lines.

Hence why im a firm believer of honesty as well. You gotta be upfront with your feelings or else people might get the wrong idea or someone gets hurt emotionally and doubley so when there's romance involved.

I'm working on a mod that will include both Rika and Saki, so I hope to talk more about it when I have more to show for it. Here's an in progress sketch for a Rika sprite in a casual outfit as a sneak peak, I'm trying to stay as close to the original artstyle as I can. I'm curious about what you mentioned about death, being someone who's had her own brushes with it more times than I'd enjoy. I have a similar philosophy of death acceptance, and try to encourage others to be at peace with the concept. I find cultural traditions around it terribly fascinating.

And, um, oh. I. Am not sure what to say. That's, certainly an endeavour one could embark on. This might be the most I've ever embarrassed myself in a thread.

I own the ordinary amount of dresses and ribbons, I think? I was into EGL when I was younger, so maybe slightly more than ordinary. The building I live in is certainly historic, but it's not a castle, unfortunately. The castle my ancestors lived in was burned down several centuries ago.

>>495320228
Perhaps I just need to get over myself a bit, and be more comfortable with not being such a perfectionist. My tutor has said as much, too. That's a really lovely illustration, is it Chiaki?

Oh yeah, I know people like that. In this case, you're doing exactly the right thing, and in a way you're lucky that you were able to call it off before you sunk even more energy into the relationship. Still sucks big time, so I hope you don't run into many of those going forwards. It's a pain to have to be vigilant for one-sided dynamics like that, but it's a relief when you identify one early.
>>495320228
Your illustrations are great. I haven't said so earlier in the thread, so add this poster's compliment to your growing pile.

Is there a term for when someone keeps digging themselves into a hole, only it's a cute situation instead of a sad one? The Rika sketch looks very nice, the facial expression will make for a memorable sprite.

For me, reading philosophy, especially the greeks and romans, is a comforting thing. It showed me that the struggles you see people daily are as old as humainty itself, and also helps you to think critically and form your opinion on the subject. I still think philosophy should be written in dialogue form, it's the best way to transmit ideas.
I think Jefferson once said that it is an utmost pleasure to be able to read the classics, which sums up my view nicely. Plus I'm coming from a deeply analytic and technical background, so it's nice to be able to analyze human topics, rather than endless numbers. So overall it's not a fix-all solution for fear, but a nice break from reality, atleast for me.
I'll take a look at that manga someday, it could be cool.

>>495320639
That's the fun part. As I mentioned somewhere deep in this thread, I tend to be myself all the time - I act the same way infront of my friends and these people, so the're getting the full experience. Plus if anyone wants help, then I'll help them, no strings attached. So from their point of view, they are getting the friend treatment. I just don't really consider as such, and don't really have a reason to push them away. That's the case for fellow men, with women it gets a lot more complicated, really quickly, and there you have to get your boundaries straight really quickly.

>>495321496
Oh that is superb. Really nice work, I can't wait to see it finished.
Oh yeah, death, always a fun topic. I had a near-death experience when I was young, which was quite a wake-up call, but over the years I was in contact with death from a second hand. There were a lot of occasions - I dated a girl on deaths door for quite some time, (which was a part of why KS hit me so much, because I've basically lived through Hanako's bad end IRL), numerous deaths in our family, a close friend died in an accident right after he left us from a meetup we had, plus I've met and talked to so many people on this topic..
cont.
>>
>>495327107
Mostly unrelated to what you said, but having read through Hanako's bad end today it really bothered me. Hisao just acts like such a bitch in it. Your friend getting mad at you one time does not immediately end a friendship. Just apologize, convey your feelings to her directly, and try to figure out what's best for both - maybe give her some time if she needs it.
I get the point is that Hisao is just as flawed, but it still rubbed me the wrong way. It seems like such an easy situation to fix.
>>
BYE GUYS
>>
>>495327107
cont.
... including some veterans, orphans, etc... that I've almost grown accustomed to it. It is a strangely fascinating topic. As you said, there are differences in how cultures percieve death, and I don't really like the way it's stigmatized in contemporary western society.
Maybe that's the inner classical philosopher talking, but death is not a bad thing, quite the opposite. We shield from it, we hide from it, we are sad when it comes, when instead we should be grateful that we even had the opportunity to live life as we did. When someone dies, I try not to be sad, but instead to celebrate their life and achievements, and be glad that they were with us. It should be celebrated when one dies at the peak of their life, for one who does dies at the top, having reached his goal, and didn't have to live to see it crumble down.
So that's it I suppose. I'm at peace with my mortality, and hopefully I'll be able to leave with grace and dignity. What's your view on the topic?

>>495327487
Hanakos bad end is a bit caricaturized, but it can somewhat happen. My case was a bit of Emi/Hanako bad end, where I tried to help her at all costs, not realizing that simply me being there was actually enough for her. There were obviously many other issues I'm skiping over, but that's the main point. And when you're young, disstressed and in love, you are not acting rationally, believe me. And so is the other side. Good luck trying to have a rational conversation at that point. I've tried. Didn't work. So I wouldn't fault Hisao that much.

My, I cosplayed her years ago, she's an old favourite of mine. You're a talented artist and an anon of exemplary tastes. Thank you so much, also, I'll be posting the finished work when it's done, alongside a Saki as well. I'll send you an email later so we can stay in touch, I'd love to get you involved with the art challenges I'm planning for the general, if you're willing.

>>495323325
Oh gosh funny timing for the question, yes as I mentioned above, I cosplay. I always wanted to do a Katawa Shoujo cosplay but the uniform is so upsettingly tricky to make, and now I think I'm a bit too old. Maybe I could make a good Sae! You do flatter me, Hanafriend, but I'm as common as mud. I'm from an awfully rural town originally, every bit a country mouse.

>>495324927
How is being into EGL digging myself into a hole, anon? I don't see how it's related to the other thing, it's just a timelessly stylish fashion. I'm going to work on a few variations of the expression, I think, but I like that one as a neutral face for now. My thought for Rika is that she's awkward but not necessarily shy, just socially clumsy and a bit of a dork.

>>495325608
>>495326970
Oh, now both of you, behave yourselves, goodness.

>>495327107
Thank you! It seems we have a very similar view on mortality. I've "died" a couple of times now, and had a few loved ones pass on as well. My culture isn't as deathphobic as other Western cultures are, having a strong tradition around spending time with the body after death, and several calendar dates that are heavily associated with it. It's a terrible shame how detached society has become from death, we do so much to put it at a distance, and allow ruthless and opportunistic funeral organisations to profit off of the grieving.

Death is, at its core, simply a part of life. For most of time we didn't exist, and for most of time we'll continue not to. It's not a stranger to us, and we shouldn't be afraid of it.

I know its not proper to ask a woman her age but i doubt you're that old to not do cosplay. My guess is you are definetly not over 30 but in the off case you're nearing that, if i can do cosplay nearing that age then so can you.

>>
>>495327487
I do think that her bad end is the one that has be best chance of salvaging.
Lilly's left to Scotland
Hisao cheated on Shizune and she thinks that it's her fault
Rin's route has them growing apart for a while beforehand.
Hisao already failed his second chance with Emi by the time it ends.


Her bad end feels cut short, more similar to Hisao yelling at Rin, or getting kicked out of Emi's house where the story was still able to progress afterwards.
Of course you can say the same, that it gets cut short, about her good end.

Ah, I wish. No, I think it's not going to work out. Both classes we have are just a little to intensive to make small talk, and I got moved out of the group with her to help a new Chinese student. I could talk to her after class but she's so incredibly socially awkward that I just feel kind of bad making advances on her in any way. I know that's a shitty thing to say considering the themes of KS but it's not like I treat her differently because she's awkward, I just feel like she doesn't see me that way.

Well maybe you can help her come out of her shell, you can make friends with a woman without the pursuit of a romantic relationship

No harm in just asking someone out, you know. Worst she can say is "no". or "hell no, god, kill yourself" or something. but even then it's not that bad.

>>495375463
Maybe so. I'm just not sure that's what I want. She did smile at me the other day and she came up to me asking me to take a picture of the blueprints we're supposed to study for our test in a couple of weeks. She was so cute when she did it - like she braved all the feelings inside.

What's worrisome is not that it happens.
It's rather that at some point it fades, even if you don't end up meeting your Katawa IRL.
Clearly because the game purifies you, but like every medicine, the dosage cannot manifest effects in aeternum.

>>495367712
As I have mentioned in a previous thread, the idea of "bad ending" is relative if it doesn't lead to a character's death or some other life-changing event.

Specifically:
Hanako and Emi throwing a tantrum at Hisao is nothing time cannot heal

Even Rin and Lilly prematurely leaving Yamaku is a wound that can potentially be healed a few years down the line (surely there's someone here who resumed contact with a HS acquaintance/friend they had previously lost touch with?). Yes, it's a possibility that Lilly may never return to Japan, but it's not as realistic as you may think, since her being bilingual English/Japanese and a hafu means she still has strong ties to the country, and maybe her parents just want her to get a university degree in Scotland before allowing her to get a job wherever she prefers.

Hisao cheating on Shizu with Misha is very bad, of course. But I have seen couples survive a single episode of cheating, as long as there's *genuine* regret and not just the wish to eat the cake and still have it afterwards.

So yeah, I think the bad endings are more make-believe than anything else, they ignore the fundamental truth that "life goes on" (certainly so when you're 18).

Now, Hanako's pre-alpha bad endings, on the other hand...

That's understandable, a lot of posts here are basically public DMs and there's often no opportunity for a third person to join the convo

>How many people have 40 close friends? Virtually zero.
Can you even have 40 not-particularly-close friends?
At some point they are probably more like "fans" than "friends", since you're probably a popular person

I went with the piston anyway because I didn't want to spend all night setting up keyframes on a bunch of bones for a 4 second animation.

Morning /ksg/! Staying up wasnt good for me, almost hurled on the run. I guess tired body couldnt keep up with pumping air or something. Still, powered through it, kept my new distance up.
Enjoy your paturday!

Good morning anon.

Hello /ksg/ another late wakeup for me but i guess its a given since i fell asleep at like 03:00 last night.

>>495390861
>Koikatsu
The VGL people suggested me that i should look up models from that to use for the team, if you can point me to said resource that would be nice. No need to be moeblobs or porn tier just something servicable and likable by all.

>>495392000
So it would be preferable to you that you get Katawa Dick forever? I honestly dont know what to say on that.

>>495392793
While true that asians age "differently" there also small cases of that for people of different nationalities too, and like i said, i doubt Aranon is that old, im sure she's being modest.

>>495393971
Hey. Dont push yourself too hard, slow and steady wins the race.
>>
>>495394075
I know there is something that lets you rip models from HS/KK/HS2 but I'm not sure if they come rigged or what. Check the AA2 or ILLUSION or HONEY SELECT generals if they still exist. I forget which board they were on though.

she said she was in her late 20's once and 'getting close to 30' another time. it's all in my notes.

There's a reason why you get it, and there are more and less appropriate contexts in which such a spell may end.
Let's face it, the average 4chan user can be a relatively lonely person who is vulnerable to developing some form of sexual addiction.
Being too overwhelmed by your formerly pent-up emotions to find any sort of solace in lewd visual material can, conversely, be a welcome change of pace

>Being too overwhelmed by your formerly pent-up emotions to find any sort of solace in lewd visual material can, conversely, be a welcome change of pace
You just summed up how I've been feeling for the last month perfectly. I've been thinking about fighting my porn addiction, but I never had the strength to do so.
Now that I have a severe case of Katawa Dick, I have zero interest in any lewd stuff, it feels great honestly.
If my horny comes back soon, I think I'll be able to keep it in check now.
Also, getting permanent Katawa Dick wouldn't be so bad in my opinion.
>>
>>495395227
i don't keep track of that.

>>495395050
Neat, i will probably mess about with them eventually and check how to port them into PES, thanks!

Thats a sweeping generalization on your part. Im not gonna say me or the rest of /ksg/ is beyond sexual urges because that would be hypocritical and a lie but im betting there's plenty of anons here (myself included) that see sex as something more intimate and endearing and that leads them to be more vulnerable to Katawa Dick and less addicted to sexual activities so to say.

>>495396879
>im betting there's plenty of anons here (myself included) that see sex as something more intimate and endearing
Than what?

>and that leads them to be more vulnerable to Katawa Dick and less addicted to sexual activities so to say.
How does this contradict my point?
>>
>>495397434
>Than what?
Than some form of addiction or a need that they have to fullfil.

>How does this contradict my point?
That wasnt my intention, just wanted to point out how not all anons that post here are sex addicts, probably.

Goodnight /ksg/.

Just so it's 100% clear, when I say "sexual addiction" I also mean playing solo.
This is, after all, a website with a vast, constantly renewed amount of lewd material. Just because we are on the SFW side of it doesn't mean we should forget what's beyond the pale

>not all anons that post here are sex addicts, probably.
Per personal intuition plus the poll results, a lot of people in here are in the "horny every day" phase, which I estimate to be between 15 and 25, give or take.
So yeah, it can easily make a difference in your life when you suddenly develop KD syndrome

Good morning, my fondest /ksg/. I have an afternoon ahead of me of a few important appointments, which is so troubling for a Saturday when all I want to do is relax and work on a painting. Our health is our greatest asset, however, so one must be diligent with these things. I hope you're all well and had a good night's rest. My recommended tea of the day is Chili Chai. As simple a combination as the name would imply, this chai includes dried chili peppers, which gives each sip a tingly heat on your lips and tongue. The weather here has finally cooled, and I can't think of a better suited tea for blistery winds.

The survey has officially closed as of this post, and thank you all so much for participating. I'll be compiling the data to release, as well as working on the collage, over the coming week.

I'd also like to remind, and invite, you to a cytube movie night in seven hours. We'll be watching Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou, followed by Special Duty Combat Unit Shinesman. It will be nice to chat to you a little more casually than usual.

>>495394548
While I am very flatter you find me fascinating, I'd like to gently discourage you from keeping notes about me. That's a little disquieting. You are correct about my age, unsurprisingly.

>>495394324
Happy Paturday, Pat-anon!

>>495393971
Sleep is vitally important to one's wellbeing, as much as exercise is. I'm sure Emi says as much at one point or another, or Nurse does. Either way, please get your rest when you can, but congratulations on your new distance.

>>495332334
I'm not too old to cosplay at all, I just prefer not to cosplay high school students these days. Of course my skincare routine keeps me glowing and youthful, it just doesn't do to dress like a teenager at my age.
>>
>>495399598
>While I am very flatter you
Flattered, I mean. I'm still a tad groggy.
>>
>>495399598
Good morning, hope the appointments dont eat up your whole day
>Sleep is vitally important to one's wellbeing, as much as exercise is
I'd say I learned my lesson, and it's all fine as long as I can keep moving, she'd understand
>spicy chilli tea
I need to try it right now. It's still surprising to me how varied tea flavours can get
>>
>>495398362
Ah i see what you mean, yes we do have a lot of young people and their crazy hormones but even so, i find the term "sexual addiction" pretty strong with very grim implications, which are perfectly possible to find in this website but i doubt that that you can find as much in this specific general.

>>495399598
Hello Aranon. Hope the medical routine goes smooth. Weather is finally getting cooler here as well, we're close to comfy times.

>Watchalong at 21:00
Sounds good to me, i'll probably be home by then!

>it just doesn't do to dress like a teenager at my age.
I was right on the money when i called you modest. If a school uniform isnt your thing then you can always do Lilly's casual outfit. Its gonna be hard for people to get but i bet you gonna nail it.

No, it's not a joke, I genuinely don't know... I guess contrabasses are a lot bigger, though. I wouldn't know which is which without the other as reference.

hey, you're in my timezone. europoor.

Greetings /ksg/, hopefully you are all doing well. You haven't been skipping your new morning routines, right?

>>495393971
Great work, keep it up. As others said, rest is important - your body needs to repair itself before you can challenge it again. But your mindset is on the point, so keep it up!

>>495395719
Wonderful, insn't it? I think there has to be some switch in your brain that is activated by your feelings from KS and goes "Alright, I don't want to be horny, I want to feel true love" and just turns down your lust for a while. And if it is that way, then honestly, I wouldn't mind permanent Katawa Dick too.

>>495399598
Nice, I can't wait for the collage, I know you'll do a god job. Unfortunately I will be away this evening, so I won't watch the OVA's with you all, but I hope you'll have good fun.

Also no good celebrity is complete without some questionable fans, so you can check that off. Heh.

Nothing makes one avoid a certain course of action quite like it resulting in the violent expulsion of one's breakfast, that's undeniably true. Tea is gorgeously varied, whenever someone tells me they don't like it I always ask if they've tried anything other than English Breakfast and the answer is always no. It's like deciding you hate champagne because you've only ever had a cheap Prosecco, you know? It's always diehard coffee drinkers who refuse to expand their tea palate, but I'm going off on a little tangent there.

>>495400597
Hello, Hanafriend. Luckily a couple of them are phone appointments, so I can take them in a nice café. Make sure you wear a scarf when you go out if it's getting cooler, you don't want to get sick. Looking forward to seeing you for the movies!

I don't think Lilly's casual outfit would be much of a cosplay, it's the sort of thing I just dress in. I suppose with the wig and all, I could. It's something to mull over. That's sweet of you to say, also. I'm about her height so I could certainly make an attempt of it.

>>495401490
That's wonderful to hear, I'll be in touch! I think I can make a joke out of that too, hold on. "What's the difference between a cello and a contrabass? You can sell-o a cello, but a contrabass is contraband!"

>>495403360
I'm still turning over ideas in my head for the collage, I'm not sure whether to do it digitally or handwrite the notes and arrange them. Whatever it is, it'll turn out nicely, I hope. We'll miss you at the movie night but there's always next time, Suzufriend. And yes, I certainly do have some. Interesting admirers.

>"What's the difference between a cello and a contrabass? You can sell-o a cello, but a contrabass is contraband!"
That's awful. Did you just come up with this? I'm impressed.

>You can sell-o a cello, but a contrabass is contraband!

oh my god.
>>
>>495404453
we're a long way for scarf weather unless nature flips the switch sooner than later but thank you for your concern.

Cosplaying relatively simple designs can be tough for people to notice where they come from, especially something as niche as KS. Going by a very similar experience i'd still recommend doing it because in the end doing the cosplay itself is fun, regardless of recognition.

I want to keep my running routine consistent but I probably won't be able to for like 4 days...
Today is my rest day, I shouldn't be risking injury by running too much every day.
Tomorrow it'll rain pretty hard.
Monday and Tuesday I'll have classes until very late, probably won't have the time to run.
I'm sorry Emi :(
>>
>>495407504
Consistency is more important in the long run. You can always make up for it on the other end - not by running more often, but by trying to run a little longer than you would've otherwise. Make Emi proud!
