Despite my earlier comment about Fate/Grand Order, I still consider it a beautiful piece of fiction. Its just unfortunate the setups you have to take in order to succeed in the business world.
I made the comment elsewhere that people who become super rich/successful probably never manage to do so in a completely sin free way. Its just the damned nature of the game. Honestly, if I owned the rights to FGO, I’d be doing the same thing they are doing now, maybe donating some of the extra profit I earn towards the causes that I feel is of great importance. (or so I tell myself that I would do. I won’t discount the possibility that greed might overcome me if I ever find myself in that position. hopefully not.)
Normies will spend their money on all sorts of frivolous nonsense anyway. I suppose you may as well profit off their legal addictions so you can put some of that money into not just benefiting your life, but into furthering the causes you care about. that will probably be what I’ll have in mind if I ever do get to trying to start a business.
On a completely different and less serious note befitting this thread, I talked about games I found myself burying into for awhile. I can’t believe I forgot to mention what may have been the most recent experience (I often go months these days before I get into my next video game) of them all; Amagami ebKore+
I think this is the first time I’ve played a translation patch via an emulator (I would recommend the ps2 version. PSP’s text had issues displaying character names and looked worse graphically). Its a dating sim rather than a traditional VN. There is no violence or action in the game, but the story and drama definitely kept me interested for awhile. I forgot what stopped me but I almost finished. No full blown 18+ content though if that’s what you’re looking for, though there’s definitely some kissing and lightly erotic stuff in it.
I’ll probably just download a 100% save file and continue where I left off to finish off the remaining heroine story routes rather than start all over should I get back to this.
I was really close to getting a 1CC in the arcade version of Street Fighter II earlier today. It did not work out, but the resulting two-credit clear was still a new personal best. The SNES version is less difficult.
Congrats!! I would definitely not want to go up against you haha
