>>567019338Remember when there was a big thing about destigmatizing topless women? Am I the only one who remembers #FreeTheNipple? Whatever happened to that?
>>567019727because the only thing trannies can self-insert is a dilator
>>567019820I'm sure that wouldn't translate onto anything a man had drawn.

>>567020072I wish there were arcades or at least locals near me…
>>567019089They literally tell you when they killed Beatrice"We are scientists, observors, researchers, we wish to solve every mystery". Beatrice was the only one who didn't get it, they are there to study, dissect, and understand the mysteries.Kivotos is a land of mystics, terrors, lore, the sublime. You don't get 90% of Gematria lore unless you watch every single raid boss intro which ironically lore drops a lot of lore.They probably would have really dissected into the students eventually(figuratively) if sensei hadn't threatened them in volume 1After talking to him, their interest shifted more to sensei, getting him to join the organization, they saw worth in him

>>567020072Does going to Chuck E Cheese in 2007 count? I played this Alien (movie) shoot-em-up with a friend there. We go to the alien queen boss fight even. The final escape was kino.
>>567019727I was about to say something like this. I don't understand why some people struggle with self-inserting.
>>567020692I see, thanks. It's been months since I read volume 3 so I forgot about that dialogue. It's weird, in a way the setting doesn't have a hard, consistent villain. Gematria aren't really that evil, Phrenapates was just trying to change Shiroko's future, and all the other baddies are mostly students.
>>567020072Like 2010 when I was really into Street Fighter 4.
>>567019727Make 100000000000x the most self insert game everTroons still claim its a yuri game when every single momotalk is about fucking the studentsYou ask them to explain why they think this wayAlways turns out they never read it, they just vibe off fanart or some shitFGOfags, shippers, yurifags, troons, they're all united in hating self insert stories, they hate male fantasy, they're all united in it. There's never been a yurifag who didn't hate self insert shit and secretly wants it entirely removed from the game, whenever they sperg out on twitter they always end up revealing their true feelings about hating male centered stories and stories where the girls are into the male protaganist, they headcanon around it but they always secretly hated it. Which is why you can't give them even a single ledge to grab onto ever, you have to be absolute in pushing them away.
>>567020758Just 1cc it.
>>567020895>Gematria Ok I'm gonna stop you right there, just because they acted all buddies-buddies with Sensei doesn't mean much considering they are all immoral scientists or complete wackjob like the clocknigger.
>>567019727>>567020850It might be something to do with personal agency and responsibility. Some people would rather be making decisions in somebody else's skin rather than implicitly being their own person and bearing the potential weight of their mistakes.
>>567020167Are they good?
>>567018889Remember if the picture is good enough the jannies have to goon before they can punish you.
>>567020895>They killed beatrice in volume 3I'm starting to think you didn't read volume F either>>567021031I see them as mostly morally neutralexcept beatrice, and clockfagThey're like rival bussinessmenYou won't ever agree but you aren't enemies either.
>>5670200722008-2009 I think.When you are old you tend to forgot trivial things.
>>567021031Blacksuits plans in V1 were pretty bullshit too - I think he gets a pass too often because of how fun a character he is. Clocknig is easy to hate, but Blacksuit had done close to enough the same thing without even having to use any bullshit magic, just manipulating Hosh the old fashioned way.
My dick never gets soft when I see Kisa.
>>567020820It counts but I'm more surprised Chuck E cheeses were still around in 2007
>>567021193Blacksuit saved your ass in volume F, he's one of your best friends.
hopefully they will announce some acceleration in gook stream tomorrow
>>567020895>It's weird, in a way the setting doesn't have a hard, consistent villain. I think we are better off now though in the villain category. You have the nameless priests who want to bring back the nameless gods and hate how most of the gods because students. You have Orville who is the third personality of decalcomania He's basically gone rogue because Gematria went kaput, he wants to see a world where the students don't have Sensei to solve problems. Finally, you have the fake GSC which is a walking imposter crisis waiting to happen. Basically much better villain line up than the early days.
>>567021031I'm not saying they're good guys they're just not especially core to the narrative.>>567021128Was it the beginning of volume F?...because that was also awhile ago. I finished it today but I hadn't read any blue archive stories for a few months and my brain is like a sieve.
>>567021128> Aren't enemiesHell no.If they are willing to do this to Hoshino just think of all the less fortunate students with weaker mystics
>>567018652
Look at all these rich kids going to Chuck E Cheese in their childhood.
>>567019528dunno, but their kind always ruins everything.

>>567021279Oh I haven't met any of these people, I know about the gsc fraud since I hang out here but haven't read up to her appearance
>>567021302Course they don't view the students as students, they aren't going along with this texture/facade. They simply see them as mystics. Gematria are all alien or extra dimensional beings, so they probably see this world very different than sensei does.

>>567021543I remember the priests since I just met them but they were basically only in Phrenapates' world/timeline so far, right? Unless the implication is that current sensei has met them.
>>567021362For me, it was Gattylands, it was good.
I hope she gets a cute name.
My precious desert rose.
Out of all the Gematria, I think the one who has done the least harm is Maestro. All the others have done something to fuck with the students, but Maestro's only offense was sicking Hiero on Sensei (which he did to us instead of targetting the students, it even gave Arius squad time to escape before Beatrice betrayed them)

>>567020072I’ve never been to an actual arcade, I’ve never seen or heard of one near my home throughout my childhood, only one large restaurant chain in my country had a small area dedicated to arcade games that I could playBut home consoles were already too much of a thing, so I probably wouldn't have bothered going there anyway
>>567021779Right I just mean I haven't really experienced them as major villains yet. I feel like through volume f I've only scratched the bare surface of the settings' lore.
Hina should fly more
>>567021790That's how I feel about all Gematria minus (((Beatrice))) for ruining our boys club with her presence.
>>567021740There's nothing more fun than being trash at a fighting game and fighting other people who are just as trash.

>>567022107that was my highschool childhood right there for anime fighters. different for smash though cause the 4 of us were ranked in socal for melee at the time.
New player here, how do I get Miku?
I'm a young spry 29.8+2 years old thank you very much.
>>567022148But arcades are still around? Arguably they're bigger now than they were from 2000-2010ish (if you're from the US, where statistically most posters are from at this time of day)
>>567022104Black Suit's a little pretentious and he was behind the Hoshino thing so I don't love him but he would be tolerable with a few drinks.The many and various Golconde are out of their fucking mind, I don't know if I'd want to hang out with them.
>>567022326Sell your soul to rock 'n' roll.
>>567022326Lol. Lmao. Hope you got a time machine.
>>567022405holy shit I just realized I lied when I said 1998, I've been to a barcade in the last yearI didn't play any games though I just got drunk and insulted half my coworkers and then left and played blue archive on my phone on the subway ride home
>>567022412Why is Black Suit spoon-feeding creatine to Hoshino?
>>567022293Hi
>>567022291This answer just makes me think you all will abandon BA the moment the newest hotness comes out. Just like you did with toho, kancolle, etc.
>>567022614It's his semen
>>567022412They're just guys being dudes.
>>567022104Probably gonna get flack for this but...Decalmonie was ruined by Shiroko Terror "killing" the Golconde personality. He was already suspicous since he saved Beatrice and made the halo-destroying bomb BUT Golconde was the rational one. Once Golconde was gone, then Francis and later Orville took over. Both were complete nutjobs for different reasons. If Beatrice didn't screw it up, Decalmonie would have.
>>567022606>I didn't play any games though I just got drunkThe classic barcade experience.
>>567022405yes there are arcades. i have a big one in the mall nearby. they use some kind of a pointcard system instead of coins to play though
>>567022412We can go out for drinks after he squares the fuck up.
>>567022645Listen up boy. No such thing as eternal. Enjoy it while it last that's just life.
I just don't understand why suddenly gematria played absolutely zero role in the decagrammaton story halfway through.It seemed like they wanted to do something with gematria from like 2021-2022, then suddenly were written out of the story.
>>567022645I still love 2hu and kantai, im a trve autistic otaku
>>567021553something like this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTqCMK3yEpM
>>567022645I check out new games if my friends play it and I also am interested in it. Currently playing the dragon quest gacha.
>>567022291MID THIRTIESSHUT UP
>>567022645well, BA is my main "side game" so
>>567020072A real arcade back in 2005. Chuck-e-Cheese in 2025 but that shit wasn't a real arcade besides the light gun games it had
>>567022645I never left 2hu.
>>567022870Not hard to understand, they got fucked up and blacksuit said "Alright, lets take five and regroup for awhile". They went on a few month vacation. The actual time in universe between all these arcs is basically nothing, all of Volume EX happened in three days, all of volume F took place in like a week, the volumes are actually really short.They're already back
>>567022645I didn't abandon anything anon, they abandoned me.
>>567022645I will stay with BA until it dies.> 2huNever got into it. I only played the castlevania parody> KancolleRumao do I look fucking Japan to you?
It's been pointed out before, but without gematria all you have are student"villains" who can never truly be evil.So there isn't as much of a sense of payoff or catharsis upon vanquishing true evil like someone like Beatrice.
>>567022645i don't really play video games all that much anymore they're mostly shit, if blue archive is gone ill move on to whatever the next cunnypilled game or franchise is
>>567022645None of those were my slice of bread.
>>567023315Thats how I feel with touhou sometimes desu and that makes me sad
>>567022645Nuh uh, it's unironically different now. Being older means liking less things and caring more for what I have. I'm on the downhill and no longer want change, but stability.
>unc hoursgo to bed
>>567022645Sure if there's something I like more. I would still be into Touhou if I enjoyed the newer games as much as the older ones, and if the fanbase wasn't absolute garbage these days. KC I never gave a fuck about, even a little bit.

>>567023429>>567023403What do you guys dislike about modern touhou?
>>567023243Who's this?

>>567022870They were destroyed by Shiroko terror first of all, literal death incarnate wanted them to fuck off. It gets even worse when, Francis (last one left), broke out Basement man who fucked things up even harder. Secondly...I have two theories:1. the appeal of Deca to Gematria was the mystery. Once Deca was revealed as a vending machine and Malkuth and deca triplets took over; the appeal was lost. What's the point of answering a mystery already solved?2. The nameless priests were revealed to be involved with Deca toward the end. Gematria fucking hated those guys so maybe they learned early and stopped wanting to get involved
>>567023424With train brats
>>567023339Are her nipples burgundy or pink?
>>567022293Mika is the sexiest student ever
>>567023496same shit every year, feels like Zun just pumps out games just to get them out, and modern day fanbase is very annoying and touristy, I still love it but I dont really interact with it any more, BA gives me a feeling of how the gold old days of how 2hu felt,very traditional and classic otaku culture if you will
>>567023596>Francis (last one left), broke out Basement manAnd got strangled in the process if memory serves.
>>567018243
>>567023424you know it's two midget old men doing the mocap for that, right?
>>567023596>Francis (last one left),they were all left, one thing about gematria is they're all theoretically immortal. Although they can still get fucked upPuppetman can switch bodies, blacksuit is just a smoke body, both of them say that Francis is immortal one way or another, none of them can easily die. They're just on break mostlyYou even see Puppetman in one of the raid intros after he was fucked up.Gematria have commented on trying to look into the priests but they don't have enough information on them, or the nameless gods. It seems like information of that era is mostly lost.
>>567023783Man can just schizo out and have someone else take the drivers seat.
>>567023690Fair enough and I sort of know what you mean, but blue archive's culture (and I'm obviously here so I don't hate it) is polluted by gacha culture in a way touhou never was and still isn't. But it's hard to have everything I suppose.
>>567023309>Gematria went on vacationTHEY CAN DO THAT!? I thought they were wagies stuck in a black company like me???>>567023783>Golconde>Shot>Francis>StrangledWonder what horrible fate is in store for Orwell?
>>567019528>Can't reply cuz so many people have reported my account or something, but... I don't know I just always get my shit rocked when I go higher than Extreme Mode. And I'd rather just win with my favorite students than just use whoever is meta.heh
>get attacked in pvp right when i login into the gameim convinced the big 'yahu watches my every move
>>567023496The music and gameplay (I know, I know) got weaker.But I don't blame ZUN, the man has been at it for 20+ years and has to be a parent now. Even BA would probably get stale past the 20 year mark.
>>567023424GUH
>>567023892Its a metaphorical vacation; in other words they need to lick their wounds and then regroup, start from zero. They're working for themselves as scientists.
>>567023571Really? I think it would be exhausting and not in a sexual way
>>567019528Hopefully it will join the 41% gang soon
>>567023992It is unfathomably exhausting.
>>567023571it's exhausting, but okay
>>567022645Every decade or so there is a big thing>2000s2hu>2010sKanColle>2020sBlue ArchiveWhat's important is that they keep the train moving. The problem with the other 2 is that they didn't do that. 2hu stayed as an outdated shmup and KanColle stayed a mega outdated strategy game. But I will say that a decade of life is already better than most things that come and go. It has already cemented itself in history
>>567023690I don't think so poorly of Zun, but I barely pay attention these days.I don't know if it's his work that's changed, the community, me or all of it - but this isn't my Mountain of Faith anymore.Considering how much old shit I can go back to and enjoy just fine (or even old shit that is new to me), I don't buy the "oh you've just got old" shit some people try to throw around though.>>567023797>You know it's one jap man that drew the last thing you masturbated too, right?Oh no!
>>567023892>THEY CAN DO THAT!?Well yeah? Even the schizos of our general go on vacation. Being evil is a full time job, remember to take breaks.
>>567022645I only played KC a couple of months and that was when I was a neet, lack of localization plus it being a bit time consuming to play made me gave up. I was never really into touhou but I really really like the fairies manga and I hope someday zun continues it. BA is the only game and multimedia project I followed this long.
>>567024125>It has already cemented itself in historyPretty much. The show isn't over, but BA objectively won the otaku zeitgeist for this decade.
>>567023891Yeah some gacha tards are very sub room temp iq (then again BA is the only gacha Ive put time and love into)>>567023932As I said in previous post, it feels like Zun puts games out just to make a quota, not saying in a bad way but 2hu should have ended games ago, it always good to end on a good note
