Keep dreaming then. Everyone knows that anime fans don't have friends.
Well there are some pathetic ones, but there are also people like me.

Popgaf is a plague, or a mild rash depending.

Stump said it best:

Stumpy said:
pop-gaf is a community thread built around a subculture where men pretend to be vampy, catty, bitchy women in the rupaul drag queen mold, speak in a nonsense made-up language designed for maximum shrillness, and insult each other for their preferences in top 40 music.

the fact that this would lead to hostile interactions, or interact poorly with a forum whose broader rules say not to insult one another, is not a surprise.

also ya fav is a busted bitch~


Speaking of which, I'm playing Star Ocean: The Second Story (a.k.a. "Pickpocketing Simulator 1997") for the PS1. Throughout the game, you steal "portraits" from people that (when used) pop up as full-size anime-style drawings of the female characters. Seems really strange to me.


So, basically Japan's preemptive answer to The Witcher's card collecting? haha


not available in argie apartheid

Just come over later and we'll watch old anime together while eating sushi and gushing over Christine Love's VNs

how German of you :p
I actually wanted the japanese ships Kongo or Kagi, but they had no japanese ones. Mainly american and german ones, and then not even Prinz Eugen. :/

Nice stuff. I should get a Revell scale model of the HMS Rodney and we can have a battle.
Hehe, maybe the Bismarck isn't in bad luck this time.

you guys hate everything lol
I don't hate PopGAF. I just don't want to touch it.
That's awesome tbh. I hope you will post progress updates.
If I manage to not set the ship on fire :D

Ick. Just fought
Garuda
in FF3, and he used his
Lightning spell
literally every single turn. Even being overleveled and having my white mage cast Cura-all every turn, I still failed due to the mistimed heals. Second attempt, he just autoattacked most of the rounds and everyone survived. Seems like a cheap RNG fight (never played the original NES game, so I don't know if this is just a straight up faithful copy of the fight).

Well, I don't know if I'd go that far, but there's certainly a lot of crap to collect (mostly steal) in this game. Portraits, unique items you steal from your party members (male or female), some kind of J-pop fanzines (some of which tell you that you would be embarrassed to show them to anyone else), cards, poisonous flowers, etc.

Jackbox PS4 is in a PSN flash sale this weekend for $10 (60% off). Maybe it'll be the same on Steam when the co-op sale is live.

TowerFall is $4.50 (70% off)

I know what are you talking about! SO2 is amazing, it has content for 2-3 full length games, I tried to 100% on two different occasions and I'm still somewhat in shock how much things are to do is in this game. Also OMG at that crafting system, I will never forget.

After watching a couple LPs of Darkest Dungeon, I had to pull the trigger. My first early access game. It seems fun

Definitely been worth every penny so far. Knocked out the first 2 bosses and slowly building up the B Team whilst destressing the A Team. I got stomped the first couple of dungeons i played but once you get a handle on the mechanics and get lucky with the randomessness and get over the early hump I've found it quite addicting. Plus I'm quite attached to my heroes now that I'd be pissed if one of them died.

Non anime-fans are PopGAF.

I don't like anime or what ever load of rubbish passes off for pop music these days (less the whole cultural shenanigans surrounding either) so put that in your metaphorical pipe and smoke it! Then again I spend 40 weekends of the year with hopeless dreams that my useless footy team will actually amount to something this season only to have my dreams crushed every year come what May. So not the best hobby to have.

Now that was uncalled for.
Sorry.

Stop try to apply reason when I insult you. Badmouth my mother or question my sexuality or something!

Hey Einstein I'm on both sides.
I am shocked.
Oh wow, new Hanako Games (Long Live the Queen, Magical Date) game on Steam

Why doesn't Arthea have it yet?
Looking good *wishlisted*
 
How is Besiege for a person who isn't very creative or imaginative? I got 7 dollars from cards, and that one looks mighty fine from the gifs posted here.

How can you say that? My own footy team had the disgrace of being relegated, but even after that I'd never say it's a bad hobby. Of course that I don't know how are things over there, but here that's actually the best hobby ever.

Personally I feel intimidated by the great works of others and feel inferior when I am running Besiege.
FigureGAF is pretty high up there too I think. I'm sure there's plenty of overlap.
Right, forgot about them. There was a split very recently because of the anime, yes?

Oh was there? Interesting. I haven't visited in a long time because it was primarily anime figures and I mostly collect Iron Man and video game figures. Also because occasionally the pics posted were borderline NSFW. Maybe it's time to go back.

Yeah. I admit that I did a double-take when I pulled up a guide for the game. There's an absurd amount of stuff to find and collect. I wouldn't have bothered starting it without a guide.
 
don't have a waifu this valentines? i gotchu covered.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Answer me this:

What is that one game that breaks your heart to know that people only "play" it for cards?

For me personally I think it's a toss up between

Prime World: Defenders, FATE, and Lili: Child of Geos. All of these I enjoyed immensely, were included in cheap bundles at some point, and have trading cards.

There isn't "one". I always hurt when people idle games I liked for cards instead of enjoying them.

This is also true. Of course I know as well as anyone that not everyone has time to play and evaluate every single game.
