Pixel booty in glorious 1080p with 4x MSAA hmmm.... :p

And I heard DA: I uses a new version of skin shaders... double the hmmmm...



Yikes I: New bed perhaps?

Got a new mattress back in september.

^ Good photo, you look cute. :3

Edit: Might want to quote-tag it though as it is quite big. ;)


I know, right.

Also, if you are a Doctor Who fan or if you ever watched Gremlins, you might want to keep your eyes open for easter eggs.

What about Gremlins?

Ohhhh. I know that feel.

Our house is infested with spiders.



I mean friends I know in real life. >.>



Ask a neighbor to jump on your back.

That would make it worse

There is an easter egg - as in, a reference to the movie - in the DLC called Old World Blues (Fallout New Vegas). It's pretty cool but can be easily missed if you just rush through the area. (Hint: It's located behind a normal one-family house)

Oh I thought you were talking about something in the movie itself
 
I need advice: there's this guy at my gym that I'm very much attracted to. I think he's intrested too cuz he stares at me a lot. Sometimes in the gym, sometimes in the locker room. Sometimes when he's coming out if the showers in s towel all wet, and we will look eyes or in mirror I'll catch him staring. But neither of us can get past this...and it's been going on for months now. He's gay, there's no doubt about it. But he's obviously very shy. I'm tried to find him on apps like grindr or scruff with no luck. I wanna say hi, but I'm not sure how to broach the greeting incase im reading too much into the body language.

Anyone have luck on picking up dudes at the gym?

Ask him if he needs a spot next time he's there and rub your jink over his head..he he oops grab it instead of the bar then he's totally want a second date. Or just talk to him there's a common interest so that's one way to talk to him. Make sure you write this all down. So I can read the novel latee

I would compliment him or ask him about a certain kind of workout that he might do. I was one time flirting with a guy at the gym, and I was just asking about his ab workout (he has really nice abs) - we had a good conversation but that was it. We continually make eye contact and make each other laugh... lol. I suggest you talk about a workout that you have seen him doing, and go from there. Best of luck!
 
Gonna be a drinking night again tonight. Sadly, no cute latino coworker to do irish car bombs with like Thursday night. Sigh.

Having Thai food tonight.
Yum. :)
There's this cute Thai dude who's my waiter tonight. :) Too bad I'm getting this stuff to go.
Get the waiter to go. Problem solved.

For reals though, so jealous. I would love some thai right now.
 
It's so weird feeling like this.

U guys feel it, too.

Keep waiting for my emotional bandwith to broaden so passing feelings don't consume me anymore.

Start up a conversation about gym stuff? In a way it's kind of nice that there's common ground there. And in a way gym discussions being so mundane is a good thing, too, you can probably judge from how receptive he is in the conversation if he likes you, at least platonically. After that, I don't know though, lol. But breaking the ice is the first step.

I kind of have the opposite problem where I have a lot of trouble actually learning about ideas, but once I do I can relate and present them to others fairly easily.

I'm of the same opinion. I tend to waste a lot of time at home, so school is far better than having nothing to do_Only thing I really hate is doing the paperwork to actually get into school.

Kind of jealous. My smarts are like the McDonalds variety. Fast and semi-consistent, but kind of cheap and you're not sure where the food is coming from. When I learn stuff I mostly just feel like I'm making clay impressions in my head, I'll get the general 'form' of an idea, but you kind of have to dig into it in a more deliberate way to make it really yours. I just map everything to like archetypes and symbols and junk to shuffle around bits of abstract perception, that sort of thing is probably better if I wanted to be like a writer or something more creative, less so sniffing out like internal logical inconsistencies and stuff.

Paper work sucks. I could never work in an office. Not just from my own preference, I'd probably get fired. Too detail oriented and formal.

Hugs and drugs are always welcome

Valium is sort of like a chemical hug, too :p

To compensate for the depth of comprehension I'm incredibly forgetful and absent-minded, so I tend to screw up even things that I know well. >___>

That sort of learning is beneficial though, at least in terms of having a wide breadth of Knowledge. Even if it's not exactly tailored to your objectives, it still lets you collect basic information fairly quickly, which also helps a lot when dealing with new people.

Honestly, you're really handsome so anything you wear will look good on you. That sweater though... lol Jesus doesn't look too happy.

Same, I wanted to get one on PS3 but I read that they were unplayable on PS3 :(

Yeah, there's all sorts of bugs, glitches and frame rate problems. For me I just never liked the premise of the game.

Yeah they're pretty glitchy on pstriple. Theyre still fucking glitchy on pc too but they at least have the mod community. It's a shame because they have some amazing writing and atmosphere. The shooting is just okay but i guess it could be argued that it's just one play style. As much as i love 3 and NV, its still really difficult for me to play 1 and 2
 
...go on.
I never said good gay porn :p

What was the context?
well
um
i wanted to play around with the annoying "lesbian ends up having sex with a guy" trope that is often seen on tv by writing about a straight guy and his gay friend who has a huge crush on him but is currently in a relationship. The straight guy ends up having sex with the gay guy due to a series of events that spiral down to the straight and the gay hanging out and drinking beer, but I read it and I could hear the "bow chika bow wow" music playing in my head :v it was just a dumb idea that i had, maybe dramatic isn't the right word. it could also lead to the gay guy's boyfriend breaking up with him and trying to move on while the gay guy gets trapped in grindr hookups and the straight guy trying to fix his friendship with the gay guy's boyfriend
this is so bad omg

Seems fine to me (if a bit contrived, but if it's the whole premise you can probably get away with it, so long as you do a good job setting up that the straight guy is bi-curious). As long as you're thinking about the consequences and following up on them realistically and consistently with your characters' personality, that'd make a perfectly serviceable "revitalized relationship" story.
 
There are also girls out there who play gay dating sims. I think Youtuber PressHeartToContinue (aka Dodger) also talked about No Thank You in the Co-Optional Podcast a few weeks ago. She may even start a LP of it, obviously with the adult content cut out because of Youtube's guidelines.
Oh, of course. I just mean to say that straight guys seem to be the majority of the VN fans here at GAF so it's hard to strike up conversations about games the appeal to gay dudes, straight ladies, lesbians, etc. etc. It mostly happens in the OT or LGBT appealing Community threads.

My whole point is that I want to encourage more conversations about games like Coming Out On Top, No, Thank You!!!, etc, from all parts of GAF. Everyone is welcome. It's just that being a gay man and knowing the appeal of these games to other gay men, that's why I brought it up here.

Though that could be another argument towards making a separate OT - if the existing VN communities are overwhelmingly predisposed towards straight men, then obviously there will be no interest towards games like these within them, but creating a separate thread might catch the attention of those who wouldn't otherwise align with the extant VN fan demographic here.

The worst what can happen is a bunch of immature gamers will come and post stuff like "eww, that's gay!"
and then get banned - so maybe that's not really "the worst" thing :>

A little less worst thing that can happen is that the thread will get few posts and then gets buried by hundreds of "Why The Order 1996 is the best/worst thing in the industry", "Ubisoft/EA sucks and here's why!" or "Sony/Microsoft fanboys says Micorosft/Sony is stupid" kind of threads ;) But at least the thread will be there for people that played the game or would be willing to play it. (I've played the demo some time ago and it intrigued me).

So... just go for it. :) It probably won't end as a 50-page thread, but those few people interested will probably still read it.

This is exactly why the thread should be made.
Thanks guys.

If it's a gay dating sim thread, add information about Future Games dating sims! Hunks Work Shop and the one with the student finding out his PE teacher did nude modeling and blackmails him into being his sex slave, I don't remember the name of that one.

I didn't even know that was a game, I thought it was just a CG set. (With the most ridiculous pixelation/censorship I've ever seen. A shame too, since the artwork is hot.)

Yep! It's Nekomaru, my fav DR character.

I love him.
My favs so far are Byakuya and
the real Junko from the end of DR1

The first game was awesome even if I called most of the twists before they happened; loved watching it play out. I know no spoilers so I have no idea what I'm in for now.

Enjoy, and don't look up anything ANYWHERE until you finished the game.

Some people are so beautiful they can wear whatever kind of nasty rags and still look good.

My thoughts exactly.

Thanks guys.

I'll decide by tomorrow for sure.

I hope you do make it. I had never heard of coming out on top until you mentioned it, and I am sure that with an OT a lot of people will be interested in trying out the game. It seems like an interesting game.

I had a feeling you would since it's from a kinda of an obscure/underground show, but now everyone knows who it is. :)

I actually haven't seen any of WtBA, is it good?

Overall I think it's pretty good: stories are kind of comedy / detective stuff (with some twists here and there), the humor can be hit and miss and main characters can be charmingly or annoyingly stupid. And if you're into (muscle) bears, there are a lot of eye candies (Ian Park is only one of them) ;)

Try watching it; episodes are short (few minutes each).

Well you could just go to him and say "So you're gonna talk to me after all this tme or what?
Dont do that
I feel like jumping in the cold pool would be a good attempt for this yet i'm not in your position so i wouldnt know for sure what you'd feel best to do. You could ask him something about working out see what he thinks or clicks in his head, yet i dont think i personally would make any statement said to him feel very congratulatory or like some sort of worship just in case he's an asshole. if he is there would be no need to inflate his air balloon.

As Caladrius said, this isn't bad per se, but does sound rather contrived; at least, when divorced from any further detail or elaboration.

It would be worthwhile to establish plausibility of this happening before the scene in question, because otherwise it does seem unlikely or out of left field. Define your characters well, what they want and how they feel, so they can act and react consistently as the plot progresses. That kinda thing.

But then again I can barely write any more so what do I know.
