    I'm sick of hearing how I need to empathize and have sympathy for people who have no intention of doing the same for anyone but themselves.

    Free Use is boring. Sorry to say it.

    @Thorn_ For some folks, the appeal is embracing that lack of control, for others it is the tension and emotional upset at that very loss of control. There is definitely a different dynamic if, say, a woman is sentenced to free-use duty and her neighbors and coworkers take advantage of that than if she willingly climbs into a free-use booth to let anonymous people use her for their pleasure.

    You can still have forbidden sex (within reason) - what if a son/daughter/an in-law etc. takes advantage of the free-use situation? - but it's largely about the emotional investment of the people involved.

    I find it odd that someone thinks sex would be boring if it wasn't "forbidden." But I guess we just think differently.

    I've taken up vocal training. As it turns out, I'm super bad at it. Turns out, you can't get the hang of it in under a week.

    If you enjoy it and practice long enough, you will improve. And if you decide it's not for you, there are soo many other things to discover and enjoy!

    "These kids on their video games- sounds like you should play them then. Might give you something interesting to say for a change.

    "Rat-like" probably shouldn't be a word used to describe someone, and yet....

    I feel like we should tone down the way we deragotorize rats and other rodents, because rodents really aren't that bad. Unless you're a bad rat owner, but that goes for any pet. This is probably just my rodent bias shining through.

    I do get what you mean though.

    Nothing is more rage inducing than someone who has no idea what they're talking about, rattle off like they know more than you.

    Why are pokemon rom hacks always made to rig things for the ai like 50x over? Rigging rng is the wrong kind of hard.
    GyroscopicGraphite
    GyroscopicGraphite
    Do they do that? Pokemon does have enough rng checks that you could fail enough for it to feel like that. Especially a rom hack that might reduce chances or add new moves/mechanics with thier own randomness. Actually rigging chances, however, is pretty scumbag, yeah.

    Actually, I'm pretty sure that some streamer (Smallant?) beat one of the base games modded to rig every single chance in the NPC's favor. Maybe the rom hackers are just getting desperate? The only other options are just competive tournament setups and bullshit stat buffs, and even then, Pokemon fans always find a way...

    Yeah, no. Double criticals, the ai reading your inputs and switching on it’s turn immediately from its declared move, full five turn sleep, landing an 10% freeze chance on the first hit, among other things.

    "My Isekai Life: I Gained a Second Character Class and Became the Strongest Sage in the World!" .....what's the plot though?
    Thorn_
    Thorn_
    That's a thought. A thought isn't the same as a plot.
    GyroscopicGraphite

    I'm confused. The plot is "OOooOoOOo I discovered how to do X (in this case, be a second character class) and am now busted OooOoOo".
    Usually implies a subplot about obliterating the generic mega-evil demon lord and also a harem of various achetypes, as per the genre.
    Yet another mid anime content-farm esque isekai.

    Just felt I had the old one for so many years, was kind of tired of it, especially the one I made when I was younger. My only problem is I had to take underscores because this was taken otherwise.

    Hate to break it to you, isekais. "Do anything" skills are lame.

    Yep, this is what Ascendance of a Bookworm does particularly well. While Villainess handwaves all those issues by having the protagonist simply largely have amnesia of her past life, and having the hero of Shield Hero be a bit too quick to set aside his cognitive dissonance surrounding slavery,

    Bookworm has Myne, despite attempting to conceal the fact that she's from a much more modern world than what she was reincarnated into, have the most trouble hiding her societal ideals. Though she's very clever, her idealism leads her to trouble a number of times.

    The charm of SI is being inserted into loved franchise and being able to interact with characters (or make harems - but that is other can of worms) and change some events. The cheat skills are to empower the SI ti make changes... but most authors forget, that they already have a cheat skill by being SI - the foreknowledge.
