    I mean, yeah somewhat, I’m just pointing out the idiocy of asking that question in a place specifically designed to talk about those places.

    Also, regardless of how bad the sites as a whole are, making the transition fully is just plain too difficult, there are communities that haven’t moved and no matter if you are putting effort to have them here, you won’t be able to get a question about a program answered if there are 3 active people on a community




  • It just bugs me how repetitive the mafia involvement plot lines get in this genre, it is in virtually in every single one and when it gets there it does it in the most stupid or unnecessary ways.

    Loved your analogy, I didn’t think it that way before but 21 jump street × fight club fits it really well. I’m probably gonna start using it to describe it lol

    One last thing just in case you get somewhat interested, the korean delinquent manwhas are a completely different genre from the manga ones. Like, manga is usually more romantic about the figure of the delinquent, it also treats it as a weird in between of the worlds of adults and teenagers, stories usually show the protagonist as a noble delinquent. Manwhas are more like trashy entertainment, there is an absurd amount of bullying going around, lots of them are revenge stories from weak to OP, here the protagonist s usually act vigilante-like, and the fights are usually phenomenal, it feels like it is the biggest focus on most works and most manage to make shonen tier pacing of fight after fight being entertaining.


  • I reread D-frag, its one of my comfort reads so I read it now and again from beginning to end.

    I also read The Bully In-Charge up to chapter 69, its another korean delinquent work in a world where adults dont intervene no matter how bad things get and kids are so vicious they send each other to the hospital in a daily basis. The catch here being that some higher ups at the education foundation decided to hire a 20 year old ex delinquent to go to school as a 16 year old and beat the crap out of the bullies, so he gets to dominate them. I don’t think it was trying to do comedy, but it ended up being hilarious in many situations I laughed out loud, it is pretty ridiculous at times. The fights were somewhat good, but near the end it is getting into the typical delinquent manwha territory where gangs and drugs get involved in every high school conflict and also some special bullshit ability is getting introduced, which kind of ruins the “somewhat plausible fiction” element of the fights into straight-up fantasy. (similar to what happens into kuroko no basket to give some reference)



  • Just one thing to add, people freaking out is extremely uncommon. I haven’t even heard about a case IRL, even for trans people it isn’t something that tends to happen.

    Don’t be afraid to just guess when you are unsure, you can always ask though and at least for younger generations it isn’t seen as weird or unpolite to do so


  • I sure love it when people use a single opinion to smear a person’s entire legacy, he was great not only for the tech stuff but his stance on scientific articles piracy and a lot of other stuff too.

    I won’t say that that his opinion on cp is a great one (there is no doubt at least for me that distribution should always be illegal), but he wrote it as a 16 years old and it was guided due to his extremism for free speech over the internet, regardless, it’s not like he himself was an evil person distributing child pornography, to paint him as an overall shitty person for an opinion like this seems idiotic imo

    This is q bit personal and maybe slightly unrelated, but it reminds me of when people defend non-offending pedos (as in they are attracted to children because yhey are born that way but have not offended, nor groomed, nor harmed a child) saying the stigma should be erased because that would allow us to actually help this people who constantly hide it, therefore reducing the harm to children. This position has unironically got me called a pedophile and a lot of horrible stuff over the internet, and I would draw parallels to this situation, no matter how you slice it this opinion should not be used singlehandedly to state he is someone that shouldn’t be respected. Especially since he is not defending the harm itself being done to children (as in the production of CP) which would still be a crime under his view. (Although distribution of course grows the market so it’s idiotic not to go after that too), but as I said, it’s a bad opinion but that doesn’t make him a bad person.









  • Most probably, but there is always the possibility of people either being underage, stupid or unaware due to upbringing (imagine being told your whole life something is in a particular way, it isnt unreasonable not to doubt that) and I prefer to engage honestly with people even if I look like an idiot, just in case.

    Of course when clear bad faith is shown I will just not engage, or call it out, but in


  • “so I can still get the health benefits from it”

    Seriously, you aren’t getting healt benefits. You might feel better but that is the nicotine, it’s a psychological effect not something that is improving your physical health in any discernable way.

    Just understand, people don’t smoke because it’s good for their bodies, people smoke because it feels good, it’s an important distinction.


  • I forgot to add Roborecall!!??

    This might feel like a “demo game” to some people, also it’s from 2016~ which is an era that didn’t produce that many diverse and interesting vr titles, but this one feels really good.

    It’s an arcade shooter where robots have gone crazy and you have to kill them, the action and combat is fast, you can grab and dismantle robots in melee. One thing though is that like many of the games of that era, this game is teleportation movement based (like half life alyx when you play on the default mode) which is a bit annoying, at least for me.



  • Yes, this so much! VR minigolf is amazing, you barely need any space to play. The skill ceiling is jogh and the multiplayer is really enjoyable (you only see floating hands and it plays like normal minigolf)

    The maps are colorful, the themes really interesting and also they look really special, like you are on an incredible theme parl of sorts, the inmersiveness of this game and gameplay are unmatched.


  • Haven’t tried bonelabs myself but I heard the campaign was lacking so I just recommended boneworks instead since to me at least back when it released it felt like the most complete vr game.

    Haven’t tried the vr chat alternatives, I don’t know if it is because I mostly visit Spanish talking communities but my experience has not really degraded. Admittedly I’m not a hardcore user who spends a lot of hours there, but I have fun whenever I hop in. I will try them zometime but since they are smaller they will probably have limited communities in my language, and speaking in english is a bit uncomfortable for me at least.

    I had no clue DRG had a vr mod??? Literally my first time hearing about it… Lol

    Lastly, I can vouch for the minecraft mod, if you set up a server correctly you can even play with friends that have it on desktop together, there are also movement commands that were fun instead of ussing the buttons on controllers.
