    Touhou Project (Obviously), Dangan RonpaStar Wars, and probably a lot more that I can't think of right off the bat.

    Star Wars is only 1 I know, and like doing an Adventures of Jesus RP, so. :P   I'm not a fandom person anyway, I need to be like an expert in all available source material;l or close to to even try, I was taking a shot in the dark, because I've been wanting an RP lately.

    Ah, I see. Well, good luck there.
    Guys, help. I need comfort.


    NISA alone has almost $350 worth of limited-edition, limited-stock games I want, and almost half of them are on their very last items in stock.


    The Switch comes out in about a week.

    @Aenon Ehhh. I think I'm at a point now where Steam sales aren't that big a deal to me any more. I have most of the games that get discounted, and haven't really been adding them to my wishlist rapidly either.


    (Still hoping for a larger discount on VA-11 Hall-A, though.)

    The bartending sim? That's near the top of my wishlist.

    @Captain Gensokyo Yup yup. It's #1 on mine. Sounds like a really short game, albeit amazing, yet I just can't justify the $15 for it. Think the lowest I've seen it drop is $12.
    I'm laughing because it seems like most multifandom interest checks have become equivalent to business meetings, with a person or people who made the rp pitching an idea to some of the big-name "investors" like @Ammy, @billthesomething, @Noivian, @Vagabond Spectre,@The Omen of Death, myself, etc. and seeing if they're willing to commit to the product rp or not.

    Only time I entered a multifandom was to "mock it" in a sense. A self-contained parody. It ended up becoming a super serious character

    ...ooh. I'm a big name? That makes me feel good inside. <3


    I wanna build a world by throwing stupid references at everything. Wish people could have a bit of fun with it instead of trying to turn it into a pissing match. Every time. Get outta here, Goku/Saitama/Superman. Go beat each other up somewhere else. Bandai is busy growing food for the Stray Sheep here.


    Also not a fan of OCs and self-inserts, so those two facts alone kill pretty much every topic for me. I really ought to just try and start my own at some point.

    Ik I am bumping this after around a week, but I just had to reply, with me being considered a 'big investor' in the multifandom community by someone like you. Lol, which I suppose is an honor, in some regard. I finally feel included! Yay!111!!111!
    I keep noticing that when it comes to edgy political commentary on here, it's 90% vocal passive-aggressiveness towards Trump. I hardly hear any voices from the other side. I guess it really is a generally calm side, in that case.

    What I've noticed is it happens in bursts following this pattern (on this website)


    *Vocal passive aggressiveness toward trump*


    *Vocal passive aggressiveness toward trump*


    *Vocal passive aggressiveness toward Trump*


    *Outright saying they don't like Trump*


    *At least one Trump supporter descends from the sky to tear apart your argument, even if the only thing you said was "I hate Trump", which really isn't an argument, just a bland statement of opinion*


    *Three dems tell the Trump supporter in no uncertain terms to fuck off*


    *Trump supporter gets angry. "I am entitled to my opinion!"


    *Everyone else who doesn't give a shit either way pops on to try to defuse the shitstorm that is brewing: "Yeah, you are entitled to your opinion. So is the person who made this post, which you commented on negating it. You really can't do the whole 'I am entitled to my opinion' argument while shitting on someone else's opinion please leave"


    *Original poster finally chimes in to the shitstorm they created by attacking Trump supporter with personal insults*


    *Trump supporter tries to refute insults and does more personal insults*


    *Everyone else tells them to STFU and stop acting like kids*


    * @ApfelSeine pops on 98% of the time to shut down the discussion, its usually her/him/them from what I've seen, go ApfelSeine*


    *Vague posting from Trump Supporter and original poster*


    *Everyone telling OP to STFU again while ignoring Trump supporter*


    *Vocal passive aggressive support FOR Trump*


    *Rinse and repeat*


    You have to admot I'm accurate

    What is fascinating to me is that I tend to encounter quite a few Trump supporters. The few times which I posted political statuses, it was generally a Trump supporter who'd respond, but I wouldn't know it at first. Granted, I have only two examples of this, so it's not really generalizable, but I think the nature of the conversations are somewhat telling of why you don't see that many Trump supporters popping up.


    In general, I'd post something vague about the debate proceedings or my thoughts on partisan politics, and I'd get a random person popping up to give their different opinion, but sort of cautiously. It would later turn out that they were a Trump supporter, and I'd continue talking to them with genuine curiosity about their viewpoints (since I'm fairly insulated where I go to college, and it's helpful to hear the opposing side). It would fascinate me how different reality is perceived depending on who's looking at it.  And not in an "I see the truth and no one else does" sort of way, but more in a "my life experience leads me to believe X, while yours leads you to believe Y". I think it's very productive to take a step out of my bubble since I get to see where both sides are failing and where both sides are succeeding. 


    My analysis of why these exchanges went the way they did (as opposed to flame wars of "You're terrible!", "No you're terrible!" back and forth ceaseless arguments that go nowhere) is that most likely, a lot of Trump supporters are not eager to identify themselves. Not out of shame, but just because it's not fun to be the target of name calling. I think many anti-Trump folk feel a very passionate hatred towards Trump, and that often gets taken out on any supporter that crosses their path because it isn't as though they can yell at Trump directly. Now not all people who hate Trump do this (I'll use myself as an example here since I don't like generalizing people when I don't know anything about them as an individual). In fact, I would much prefer if people on both sides would tone it down a bit so that the moderates can come out and feel comfortable voicing their opinion. As is, you are only likely to come across very extreme viewpoints, and when people are not willing to treat each other respectfully, it descends into petty insults on both sides.


    If we could all just get along better, I think we'd benefit from having a constructive political discourse. Everyone would, even if your opinion is the "right" one to have. I would prefer not to have to shut down political discussions, but a lot of people cannot seem to avoid controlling their tempers. It's understandable in a way. Politics affect peoples' lives very personally. And I'm not gonna lie, some people post political statuses with the specific intent of getting a rise out of people (I've seen people on both sides of the isle doing this, and both sides rising to the bait). That said, people of all sorts of opinions exist, and a strong effort should be made to let everyone feel that they have a right to hold their own opinion without being the subject of a witch hunt. We're all people, and should all be treated with dignity and respect - even if we don't like or agree with each other.
    Man, I'm sad that there's a steady decrease of quality status updates for me. I used to be able to just browse the feed casually and find plenty of good posts to look at, but now, I'm not so sure.


    Posts about memes and gaming are slowly dying out and being replaced with generic social-media posts.
    Hope you don't mind if I uuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhh......

    Man, I'm sorry about my answer, but I don't think I can dedicate to another rp right now—my replies are being spread thin as it is.

    I wasn't the one who created it, so I don't think that's the issue. Maybe it automatically removed itself for being inactive?  :S

    War. War never changes. Fallout 5 looks great. But seriously, the voice clips and klaxon mixed in with the music sent chills up my spine at one point. I don't know why half of the pictures in this were chosen, though.
    Sometimes I get this feeling of regret whenever I decide I'm in too many rp's already and pass over an idea for a new rp, only for it to grow like crazy and stay active for more than a couple of months. 


    It's moments like that where I kick myself.

    How do you get your Touhou games?  Do you happen to use Moriya Shrine too?
    Count Gensokyo
    Count Gensokyo
    Yeah, I used Moriya Shrine to get all of them and manually English-patched the ones that weren't pre-patched. I also got all the print works straight from Moriya.

    I'm sorry, I just got curious so I had to ask.
    [Fire Emblem]


    Guys, guys, I need help. I need serious help right now. 


    Which cute mage should I have on my team? This decision is too stressful; I can't play favorites with two perfectly good waifus. That's when a third-party decision is needed.


    My team is well-balanced. Sophia has red tomes while Nino has green, so I can either have an extra red user or green user.


    So, gamewise, these teo are an even match.


    Therefore, which gril is objectively cuter?


    Sophia?

    Or Nino?

    Nathalie Portman is the reason I work out. I have this fantasy where we start talking at the Vanity Fair Oscars party bar. We exchange a few pleasantries. She asks what I do. I say I loved her in New Girl. She laughs. I get my drink.


    "Well, see ya," I say and walk away. I've got her attention now. How many guys voluntarily leave a conversation with Nathalie Portman? She touches her neck as she watches me leave.


    Later, as the night's dragged on and the coterie of gorgeous narcissists grows increasingly loose, she finds me on the balcony, my bowtie undone, smoking a cigarette.


    "Got a spare?" she asks.


    "What's in it for me?" I say as I hand her one of my little white ladies. She smiles.


    "Conversation with me, duh."


    I laugh.


    "What's so funny?" she protests.


    "Nothing, nothing... It's just... don't you grow tired of the egos?"


    "You get used to it," she says, lighting her cigarette and handing me back the lighter.


    "What would you do if you weren't an actress?" I ask.


    "Teaching, I think."


    "And if I was your student, what would I be learning?"


    "Discipline," she says quickly, looking up into my eyes, before changing the subject. "Where are you from?"


    "Bermuda," I say.


    "Oh wow. That's lovely."


    "It's ok," I admit. "Not everything is to my liking."


    "What could possibly be not to your liking in Bermuda?" she inquires.


    "I don't like sand," I tell her. "It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere."

    High-quality rips galore. Am I the only one who would still play this because Waluigi actually gets his own game?

    yet?

    Negative Zone
    I think that's part of why I love it so much. Dedication to the true art of HIGH QUALITY RIPS. But yes, to answer the original question, I would totally play a Waluigi game.
    Holy crap, I can't believe I nearly forgot how much I love anything that T. Stebbins does vocals for! I just discovered a newer song that he sang in and decided I'd just post it for fun. I really enjoy listening to Eurobeat/High NRG stuff now, and this is no exception.
    I see you have been viewing my profile.

    That's pretty evident by your profile picture, anyway, and with a dead meme in usw, no less.


    There're probably worse fanbases than that one now, actually. Maybe that wouldn't have been the case a few years ago, but it seems like things have mellowed out with the MLP fandom. I haven't seen one of those fans for a long while now.

    I'd say undertale might be one of the worst. Mostly because they still exist.
