Is this one instance where I can be excused for not reading the OP? I have to get to work on Monday.

EDIT: I skimmed it. Thanks for the manly gifs above.

Welp. Be more subtle.

I'm just making fun. I guess it's not allowed if I join in on the fun right. Whatever.

 

[Andrefpvs]

I read the entirety of the OP, and I don't think people should make fun of the OP. Why do people do this? It hurts. It just hurts so much. I want to have surgery and forget horrifying things like this ever existed.

Sometimes I feel like I don't understand this world. I feel like crying when I watch people being mean to each other. Just be nice.

People being mean and posting images making fun of OP.

This really hurts. I want everyone to be friends with everybody. I am in so much pain right now.

It hurts. I don't know what to think.

Spoiler

This was painful to write

OP; don't be a dick, spoiler tag your Persona 3 spoilers or at least give a proper heads-up. 6 month rule my ass.

Edit: oh you already did it! Great!

 

[bobawesome]

OP, since I have a waifu avatar I give you my sincerest blessing in using one for yourself.

 

[NHarmonic.]

I don't know why, but even before clicking i sensed this was related to HolyBaikal.

 

[rpmurphy]

someone needs to inject this thread with some hot blooded MURICAN manliness to counteract all this moe, I want to get the feeling that makes me stand up and clap after a meal.

This thread feels like the End of Evangelion, I'm just reading with this in my head.

I'm all about moe life, but damn.

 

[SerTapTap]

I can't finish a single sentence in the OP. I sort of just look at it, and it burns a word or phrase into my retinas, and I immediately shy away and think of cute little kittens so as not to remember what I actually read.

Long story short, I have absolutely no idea what this thread is about, nor what the OP is going on about. I am extremely grateful for this.

Just read the reactions it's better this way

 

[Kageshinzo]

I’d like to take this time to give a thank you to HolyBaikal. I needed to have a section of this thread dedicated to you and only you; I don’t want or mean to put pressure on you and I don’t want to force you to like me or anything. I’m doing this because I need to, because I can’t stop thinking about how to write this thread and how to thank you properly. HolyBaikal, you are the catalyst to all of this, it’s because of you that I felt the need to make a thread and continue with this all and the truth is you deserve much more than just a simple “Thank You”. Without ever having a conversation with one another, you touched me in ways that no one ever has. When I first stumbled upon your posts (When I was a shy Junior/lurker) I was surprised at many things, but the most important being the way you spoke/typed and the logic you used. I’ll be honest (the entire point of this thread) with you, the first time I read your posts I was confused and even slightly upset/agitated that someone could think the way you think, but fortunately for me, I no longer think this. It took a while for me to realize this, but after reading your past threads and posts I came to the conclusion that I was missing something vastly important in my own life. Well, saying I was missing it is wrong, I guess the best way to describe it would be is I never didn’t have it, but I believe I “locked” it up and “it” is kindness, cuteness and the moe of all life. A large “theme”/subject matter of your posts were about being nice, kind, cute and loving all that comes with it. I sit here drafting sentence after sentence as tears run down my face, what can I say to properly get my emotions across, how do I even say it? HolyBaikal, I want you to know that I appreciate you more than I have ever appreciated anyone in my life. So much so that I want you to know that I respect everything about you, I truly like your line/way of thinking (I’ve incorporated it into my thoughts), I love the way you speak on this forum, I love the stutters and dots (….) you use when you type, it’s unbelievably cute and I used to do something like that too; in the end though, I really…. …. …. l..-…l...-…like you and everything you are. It’s hard for me to say this because I get this feeling that NeoGAF will think I’m a mega-creep or a super loser for even confessing this, but I no longer care. You have changed me for the better and as I sit here thinking, I believe that every single person on NeoGAF, nay, the entire world would be better if they could have a little HolyBaikal in them. I feel so much better after accepting myself and realizing what I was missing. I know my thoughts are loose and incoherent and may not even make much sense, but in the end, HolyBaikal, you are the most amazing person I’ve ever come across and I want to see you continuing to make cute threads and heartfelt posts because everyone should read them. I hope you can live on for a thousand years, or more if you desire, I feel truly blessed to have “met” you. I envy you.

The game is pretty old by now, and it's entirely spoiler tagged. The whole post is full of black lines. I think that's a pretty good heads-up to not read it if you care about P3.

You may be comforted to know that member bans typically are not permanent.

I don't understand, post what you feel you need to, I guess.

I accept your blessing, I'll think about it.

I'd like to believe I won't be banned for my thread, it would have happened by now, no?

I mostly felt sorry for HolyBaikal after those rants. But when people tried to point out that anime characters would look strange in real life, the counterexamples HolyBaikal posted looked like blowfish. They looked even less like human beings than average moe characters. That's what they want to look like. Like, come on, help me out here.

Don't worry about it, dude. It's cool that you feel like you discovered something valuable about yourself and, whether or not it's difficult to take it in stride, you are actually giving a lot of people a good time with your sort of ridiculous thread.

I didn't even actually notice that HolyBaikal had been banned for the past month, but if she(?) happens to still lurk, and is reading: I don't really think you're as nonsensical as some people in the thread are characterizing you, though it's hard to disagree that you're too stubborn and avoidant of viewpoints you disagree with. Hope things are going well.

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

I dunno what to say... that OP was something else, but at least I can say that I love HolyBaikal, she's awesome and I'm still in contact with her.

In the Ar Tonelico side of things, I have not played them, but I did read all the Ciel nosurge summary and I will finish Ar nosurge someday.

I was referring to the holybaikals

HolyBaikal told me that her ban was perma.

 

[Mokoi]

Questions at the end:
- Asking for VN recommendation.

Since you have a PC play Planetarian ~the reverie of a little planet~. It's good because I bought 14 copies of that shit. Also to the moon. Not vn per say, but who cares great story.

also this video feels kind of relevant.

Alright, I apologize.

Well, yeah. OP should play Ar nosurge

Yup, I bought it a while ago. Just got done with Persona 3 today actually, it's why this thread is up and alive. took a whole month!

Thanks for this, will keep it in mind.

I mean, as long as people are enjoying themselves that's nice, I get it. I'm fine though, thanks for asking. It feels good to get this off my chest, been on my computer for a while now. I feel great actually, like a high.

I don't get why people love Persona 3 so much. The monotonous dungeon design killed it for me.

 

[Toxi]

 

[Karsticles]

I read the full OP, minus the P3 stuff because I done want to be spoiled. I am disappointed. I thought the OP would go into depth on what he came to love about moe culture, or what he started to understand about it. The most important part was kind of...skimmed over.

 

[The Silver]

Shit man, I don't even know who's serious ITT anymore. I know I'm not.

Embrace the spirit of moe

Gangstas with waifus.

I accept your blessing, I'll think about it.

Moe moe kyun~

 

[Steel]

Hm... Well read the whole thing and... Hmm.... Uh... Hmmmmmm....

Well it's good to find out you like something. So Kudos OP. And it's never good to judge a whole group of people, I agree. That being said, it sounds like you need to take a step back and breath for a second.

Also I loved Persona 3 as well, definitely a good game.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

What the hell are VNs?

Visual novels. Ace Attorney, Danganronpa, Hotel Dusk, Zero Escape... Though, those have more gameplay elements than the usual visual novels.

 

[weemadarthur]

I'm aware of the Rune Factory games from Bomblord.

I've heard Agarest Wars, but don't know anything about them, should I just wiki/google it or do you have an opinion about them?

I didn't get very far in the first game. It's a grid based strategy game, where the formation allows for bonuses, which are really important. But the moves the characters do also move them on the board...so they can move OUT of formation before the bonus goes off. Which would be okay if it worked the other way - but it doesn't - they can't move INTO formation, your turn just ends instead of allowing the bonus move.

Since I recommended it for the relationship aspects, this might not be helpful.

Nice to hear, that game needs more love.

 

[Arcadius]

What the hell are VNs?

Visual Novels, books/novels told in picture formats, I think. Can range a large array of genres too, but I think it's a Japanese thing. Don't know about Western VN's.

 

[Andrefpvs]

By the way OP, there are people, such as myself, that think that "waifu" talk is silly, yet are fans of the Persona series.

Writing off a series because of one subset of the fanbase was indeed very silly, and I'm glad you eventually tried out the game.
