Hit 3283 words for the prologue which was supposed to only be 1000 lol. But it turned out to be much more in depth that I thought it'd be, maybe I'll keep the length.

Gonna head to starbucks again tomorrow near the station and put some work in on the first chapter.

The main thing is that you're writing.

You can always edit it down or repurpose it later, but don't worry about that now: keep writing.

Prologue has hit 3000 words so far, will start chapter 1 soon. Been slow because of work but thats good, means I don't get burned out easily.

I'm still into RPG's and strategy games. Been meaning to jump back into X4 actually >_>

Oh god I had this a few months ago then it changed back. I hope to God it doesn't change into this again.

Like imagine leaving a legacy where hundreds of millions of women on the planet voluntarily wear your name on their private underwear. Both celebrities and the public. >_>

Look up Oni Street Fighter IV.

Oh I know him, so its continuing him surpassing that level now?

Also doesn't Satsui No Hadou make your hair red? Why is it white now?

Did they get rid of that god awful stupid flower hair?

I chose the black lantern corp forgetting that it was just a bunch of zombies >_>

Is there a bear in any of these stories?

There could be...

I've written 2000 words on what was supposed to be a short prologue to the story and I'm not even half-way through it >_>

Pretty cheap, are they really six foot tall?

1:4 scale

If it was Ai Hashimoto I'd go to the deepest pits with her >_>

A lot of you may not know, but I've been writing stories since I was in secondary school. Now that I've settled in Japan, I have free time and I'm continuing a draft of a story that I started writing back in London.

I might drop a few excerpts here in the future, any criticisms will be appreciated >_>

It will most likely be on my PS5. I have a very good desktop computer but I don't like playing games on it anymore.

I mainly just want a game I can relax and play for a bit after work or before going to bed.

Final Fantasy IX is my favorite game of all time and Zidane is my favorite character of any game ever and I heard there's some easter eggs in the newest expansion ... not that I'll even get to that point any time soon.

@SpiritSephiroth fam if I do start playing can you give me some pointers?

Sure man, I can give you a rundown on things anytime and point you in the right direction!

They had issues with the light lamps as well as other things that look more Chinese than Japanese apparently.

What's this boards obsession with defending Biden? lol

You started watching movies and dramas yet TC?

My list is always here for you to browse through >_>

Dante. He goes into hell and takes on hordes of demons at their own doorstep likes its just another day out.

And after DMC5, both Dante and Vergil's powers are pretty freaking over the top now >_>

People are trying to change it into him being an actual Samurai, probably because of the recent Assassins Creed game. So basically now its seeped into historical Wikipedia articles.

One more point, I'm making it a mission NOT to find other foreigners to make friends with. My LINE is full of mostly Japanese people and I'm actively using my Japanese to improve and integrate as much as I can.

I really don't see the point in moving to Japan and then just keeping to a foreigner social bubble for the rest of your life. Its such a pointless thing to do and I've seen others do this.

japan is a very bigoted country so uh its not the best

Its not outright bigoted. But you can feel that you won't be "one of them". Just like every other culture, such as Arab culture, Pakistani/Indian culture and even Korean. Its not exclusive to Japan.

And that's something I don't really care for. I don't see myself as part of a group identity. I'm my own individual and I've always been, even in London.

Not everyone is it anime either. More of the younger generation thing.

@SpiritSephiroth what's your take now that you have lived their for like 2 months? Is it like you imagined?

Love it. I'm not into anime, more the culture people and way of life. Also love the music and entertainment industry (idols, movies, celebrities ect).

Its so chill in Osaka, and work as well is good. Seriously, if this keeps up, I'm probably not gonna leave and look for an indefinite stay. Probably move to Tokyo next year too.

London really took the life outta me and it feels like I'm recovering here. Granted its only been two months but I had people telling me after a few weeks of work I'd hate it. Have no idea where they were getting that from.

And yes, I've met a few girls and hanging out with them more soon.

Surprised it took them this long.

There is a ass creed game where you play a black woman during the slavery era of America. Had a weird gimmick of changing outfits to alter abilities and what places you could freely roam.

She was a black girl lucky enough to be adopter by a rich white family so she had a high society type dress that would allow her access to most public places but combat and climbing I believe where restricted. Had a slave outfit forget what abilities it gave or removed. Then the typical assassin outfit which let you play like a normal creed game.

Yeah it was liberation and I really enjoyed it. Again it was a spinoff, would be nice to have an Assassins Creed mainline game set in a slavery setting (Well not "nice", but interesting) that has a whole background for black characters going into their roots. Or maybe just set one in a black country? I'm sure they have a lot of untapped lore there that can be explored for the masses.

I'm just annoyed it's a half assed attempt at including a black character. Why not set it in a black setting where you actually delve deep into black history and characters? That'd be way more cool. It just feels like they're looking for brownie points. There are so many characters in Feudal Japan worth exploring and they settle on the one black character, when there are other much more important figures. Again it's so lazy.

Make a game based around black history. It's about time we had a big game like that, not indies but an actual AAA game. But no, that'd require some actual effort and respect towards the culture. Something these huge corporations have no intention of doing.

Edit: Assassins Creed freedom cry was pretty good, now they can try and make a whole game with something like that, not just an expansion.

This is normal TC. I think about my ex in retrospect almost the same way. Except for the therapy part.

the female fanbase of supernatural kept getting the female characters killed off
anytime a woman so much as looked at sam or dean the studio was flooded with hate mail demanding they kill off the person trying to steal their imaginary boyfriends!!

its why jo wasnt in season 3 or 4. the fanbase hated her for flirting with dean.
the fanbase were more accepting of mother figures for the boys and as they got older they also liked daughter figures like claire

Yeah that shit was weird asf.

Thanks TC, now I feel like rewatching it.

I turned my game into a raiding war simulator. I had huge raid camps and whole groups of decked out npcs with power armour.

There were wars all over the map lol. Was fun as hell.

FFXIV literally has some of the most twisted sadistic people in the series (I don't say villains since some of them are arguably misguided and have their own "justifiable reasons".)

• The Ascians, Emet Selch, Lahabrea, Elidibus ect ect. committing genocides of various worlds over and over, billions and billions of people in order to get their own world back.
• The Allagans. Did some of the most insane, torturous and unethical experiments to many creatures and beings, one being enslaving dragonkind and Bahamut into a never ending torture, whilst siphoning their energies throughout time, which resulting in driving Bahamut crazy and turning him into a shadow of his former self.
• Valens van Varro. Literally committing child slavery and torturing them, forcing them to off one-another if they are disobedient. Treating them like playthings whilst experimenting them into giant mechs and forcing them to "fuse" in their cores. He literally promised a family their salvation whilst they had to watch their father go through this. Only to go back on his promise and forced the mother and children to do the same thing. This even disgusted his own soldiers.
• The Garleans. Basically following in the Allagans footsteps, experimenting on people and fusing them in technology, whilst creating biological horrors in order to win a war they are so hell bent on winning against Eorzea. Enslaving Ala Mhigo and treating them like second class citizens, and also comitting genocides against other nations like Doma and Dalmasca.
• Athena. Experimented on her own son and let loose Pandaemonium, a facility which experimented on beings. Tried to become God by fucking up her husband and childs lives and is a literal psycho who attempted to destroy the aetherial sea (the actual afterlife)

I can keep going with characters like Zenos who genocided his own people for a fight he wanted with the Warrior of Light, or Yotsuyu who enslaved her own people for a grudge, but I'd be here writing all day.

Seriously, pictures and videos don't do this view justice. Been hiking for hours and no one here lol.

Hope I don't get lost.

Oh another atrocity by Israel?

From the sound of it, youve spent little to no time worrying if youre displaying abusive behavior, offensive, or trolling in the pastand now you are. So its more safe and secure for those you interact with, just not you.

It obviously looks shit. But this technology will obviously get better. It has been at a rapid rate.

I'm confused though, this seems like its working on old tech. Sora AI looks 10x better than this.

I have some of those figures >_>

It feels more boring, more pressure on me personally whether what I'm posting is against TOS, and all around less fun.

So is it "safe and secure"? If im constantly watching what I type all the time, then no not in those regards.

Kinda sounds different which I like, not sure how it'll be with repeated battles but if "BABY BABY BABY BABY yeaahhheahhh!" taught me anything, I'm probably gonna love it.

And they also operate like a city. Insane.

I think it's a shame cuz all it does is make the world of Dragon Ball a little more boring. Plus they put animal people back in with the universal tournament and those wolf people so at the end of the day it didn't even fix whatever problem toriyama or his editors thought needed fixing.

Those are beings from other worlds and universes. I think he just wanted to keep universe 7 Earth normal.

It's more the amount of bullshit companies are pulling now. Sony especially, ps5 is probably the last console I'm gonna buy from them. Microsoft has been shitting the bed, and now with their recent closures.

Then you have all the bullshit companies in between. I'm gonna stick to FF14 for now and play through my backlog. But I'm gonna take a backseat from anything new the industry is gonna bring out for now.

I hope there's some sort of reset or shakeup to fix a lot of this crap.

People in Japan use Line right? >_>

Yup. Its like our version of Whatsapp in the UK. They even got other features that us in the west don't have, like access to pay accounts (Line pay) and even a lot of different delivery systems, payment systems, government websites and services ect ect.
