Final Rumia posts while it's still Rumia day for a small portion of the world! So cute seeing her as she's going to sleep!

I was going to say we've got time, seeing as the main Harmony branch has a good handful of contributors, until he actually starts using it in main Harmony. Looked at the two most recent builds (2.4.1 and 2.4.2), turns out he's already been using Copilot and ChatGPT codex in them.

:flan_disgust: Oh, he's been trying (though I don't think he's done it yet).
Though Rimworld will still get the worst of it since that is the only Harmony library for a specific game this guy manages to my understanding.

Remember, Harmony isn't exactly a mod in and of itself, it's the C# library that's required for any Rimworld mod that isn't a xml mod to work (which is basically every mod).
If he goes down this path with Harmony, the game's modding scene is fucked.

I need to share this so others can know how truly awful things are. DLSS 5 has been announced to release this year, and it's utterly disgusting. Genuinely just looks like it takes the scenes and removes things like lighting, particle effects, and fog and then slaps a shitty AI face onto any face in the scene.
Even without playing requiem myself, this Leon before and after is just gross. Takes a clearly intentionally dark scene, and makes it brighter while increasing focus on the details that do not matter to the scene like wrinkles.

Also if you haven't yet, do yourself a favor and download some of ke-ta's artbooks. These things are genuinely beautiful in every way.

Fairies are wonderful. Also most fairy art falls back to ChimaQ because the man is a top tier fairy artist, mostly does fairy only stuff. Some of not his stuff.

It's even weirder when seeing what characters *do* have these kinds of stories. This is a little off topic to Koishi but whatever, I just wanna make the point proven further.
https://exhentai.org/g/1898855/00320822b2/ Hatate has a whole series where she gets married after being dropped into the outside world, and later Aya shows up to become the second wife.
There's also more than one where Momiji and Kagerou get the same guy, which is so weird considering how little interaction those two actually have (I've already posted some before).
https://exhentai.org/g/1504809/58a02ccbb2/ There's also whatever you'd call this. He is definitely getting to keep it going with the fairies.
https://exhentai.org/g/3365117/70f6721b6e/ ??? There's a major philosophical debate to be had here about what this could be considered. That is left as an exercise for the viewer though, as I frankly do not know if I have it in me to debate how much life all these dolls have and whether this constitutes a relationship with many girls or just one relationship with Alice. No TL but you *really* don't need one to understand this. Even with zero Japanese knowledge the author is very skilled at conveying his ideas through visuals (the idea is sex).

Genuine closest I know of without doing a deep dive is one where the guy is Satori's lover and in the second half Koishi just gives him horny pills and (arguably) rapes him for the sake of it just because she's horny.
Generally those two bring a lot more sisterly relation stuff than anything else (all possible meanings there, the more questionable ones I will not post for obvious reasons). Makes for good non-h stories about the girls but it tends to take romance out entirely.

Another cute ~~wolfgirl...? No, wait, there's some interference in the subconscious here?~~ Koishi post. She may be a weird, often incomprehensible girl, but she loves life all the same. Her unconscious actions are still driven by some form of reason after all. Though more than likely she'll pop in at the oddest times like this and decide to have some fun.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1A0CXmX_yc Perhaps this is what has infested the subconscious. Eurobeat is quite enjoyable after all,.

Would you consider a free konsultation? It's quite simple really, this lovely girl of entirely human nature will advise you on who would be best fit as your wife. Her konclusion? That cute fox you keep seeing around is definitely your best fit! Where's that fox now? Don't mind that, let the konsultant close up her shop and you'll find the fox soon. Surely there's no link between the two, even if you could swear the woman offering the romance advice was trying to hide something (somethings?) on the top of her head.

>unlike Epic who is just about worse than Steam in every way with not outstanding gimmick
Epic does have a gimmick, throwing money around. Platform is dogshit in every way? Here's some cash back you can spend pretty much only on Fortnite because nobody uses the platform for anything else. Putting a game on the platform causes sales to dip into the trash? Here's half a million to put your game on the platform anyways, enjoy.
Someone said that Epic is supposedly "better for developers" which I could believe only on the backend, the frontend and consumer experience is so bad that developers don't get a single thing from the platform that Tim Sweeney doesn't personally pay for out of pocket. But hey, they at least got gifting on the platform in time for the 2025 Christmas season, somewhere around 8 years since launching the platform. :ina_lownod:
Again though I do really like GOG. I just wish they put more effort into making sure DRM-free didn't just mean installing the game, but everything around it too. Online being blocked if you aren't running off the launcher is a pain and extraneous features like achievements aren't always bad, sometimes even really fun, but GOG doesn't let you have them.

Big props to GOG, this doesn't mean much for linux (most people hearing GOG would probably think it's a weird kink thing instead of a games platform, it'll only appeal to people who already know what GOG is and thus mostly people who already have a partial knowledge and appreciation for linux) but I'm glad to see GOG actually support Linux, it makes the DRM-free ideal seem more possible.
At the same time, still feel the need to shit on GOG for not having launcher features in the standalone installers. I get it, you don't want to encourage piracy. However I don't know if a game can truly be called DRM free if a bunch of features don't work because you didn't install the game using a specific launcher thus handling DRM for those features. I give em this level shit because I like the platform though. I want to see it be better.

Some LN impressions for two of these.
>“Omae Gotoki ga Maou ni Kateru to Omouna” to Yuusha Party wo Tsuihou sareta node, Outo de Kimama ni Kurashitai
This one is surprisingly good. Like, I expected it to be kinda generic revenge power fantasy. It is not. It is not even close. It is so wildly different and the setting is surprisingly dark in an interesting way. Should the adaptation prove good and production team actually have some balls, it should prove a very worthwhile watch.
>Shibou Yuugi de Meshi wo Kuu
This is basically a comedy. It is not, the author does not write it as a comedy. However there's just something really funny about the premise of the most emotionless apathetic girl in existence playing death games literally just because she can and doesn't have any other plan for her life. It's alright, though entirely dependent on how much you care for death game stories. I'm not the biggest fan of them and I mostly enjoyed it for the main character's shenanigans.

Biology for monster girls is an opinionated topic (unless you're following a base of some kind), but generally the sane option is that for any girl with a centaur-like body type, it's human biology down to the crotch with the "legs" being the point where the monster body starts.
Also an arachne would absolutely be extremely possessive and very grabby. You are being held tight by as many legs as she can spare for the entire experience and you have no say in the matter. :cirno_heh:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3575980/Fantasy_Maiden_Wars__DREAM_OF_THE_STRAY_DREAMER/
Fantasy Maiden Wars is finally out, with a release sale price putting it at ~$30 USD for launch. This isn't an unexpected price, as this is a massive four title collection designed to last for a long time telling a lot of stories. Still, it's quite unusual for a doujin title, but that just goes to show how much effort is here.
Funnily enough the OST is more expensive than the game, even at the game's normal price on the steam page. It's a bit much but the reason for the price is the fact that there's a whopping 13 discs of music with 234 total tracks on the OST.

>The cost of animators and voice actors would be too much for indies to afford for a full season.
This is depressingly true and easy to see if you've ever followed any smaller, say doujin, anime project. Go to example would be Fantasy Kaleidoscope ~The Memories of Phantasm~. Making a doujin anime of Touhou was immensely difficult for the circles involved, so much so that there isn't any voice acting (which is why any release with a VO track sounds a little odd, the series was never officially voiced). It took over a decade to release 18 total episodes, each shorter than the TV standard 20-24 minutes. Episode 18 had to serve as a sudden and unplanned ending too after things stopped working out (though after a two year break an episode 19 has been finished and is soon to be sold).
That's on a far smaller scale mind. To keep up with an anime season to be properly recognized, you'd need a full cour of show to air weekly for 12-13 episodes. It's a daunting task for even the most organized of groups.

2025-09-23 23:26:03 UTC

As the fall starts, so too does the season become more active for wolves. Not that you'd ever spot this wolf in particular, she's a rather shy one. Sadly for all her attempts to make friends, Kagerou is still struggling. She still has Wakasagihime and Sekibanki (even if the latter doesn't want to admit it) at least. Who knows, maybe with a little luck you could end up being a nice human friend for her?

SteamOS wont solve the problem, only sidestep it. People will mostly only be willing to use it for games if they're willing to use it at all. It will be a nice uptick in linux usage but hardly a reason for most to use linux overall.
Linux development right now has a lot of problems caused by the lack of concrete leadership. I felt like I was having a stroke reading the discussions on Wayland's official development page about how they do not want to add any cross-compatibility functionality for setting a main monitor in case software asks for it (i.e. Windows software running through Wine). It's the kind of feature that users expect to have. Lots of Linux software is full of gaps like that, intentional or not. A good OS like SteamOS cannot fix those kinds of pressing issues unless Valve were to outright take over a lot of linux projects.

This has been brought up before, all major laptop manufacturers have offered linux on their laptops for at least over a decade now. People only noticed it just now since everyone's pissed about Windows 11. It's not new and they're never going to stop offering devices with Windows. It's an option that's always been there but doesn't get attention since few people buy directly from the manufacturer.

>doesn't want his work to be "mainstream."
Kojima I'm sorry it's 27 years too late to attempt to pull this. Turns out making one of the games that becomes an icon for a specific generation of titles and franchise that is commonly considered at the peak of video games may make this hard.
Death Stranding may not be exactly the same type of mainstream but it's still mostly appealing to people who like big name Hollywood actors in their games.

Even with all her connections and power, or perhaps due to said connections, there are some people even the fox cannot manipulate or win against. Part of her desire in finding a good husband is surely to embarrass those who teased her in the past. An impromptu kissing session in front of the ever single great tengu would prove quite disarming.

>one guy
:awoo_what10: Dolls Nest is made by NITRO PLUS. The big name VN publisher who put out games like Saya no Uta and STEINS;GATE. Some guys from the company got approved to make a sub-developer called NITRO ARTS to make a 3D action game. Game was made with presumably a small team and a small company's worth of funding.
It was a pure passion project though for the team. They wanted a new Armored Core and were working on this while Armored Core 6 still hadn't been announced.

I'd think rough around the edges is a bit of an understatement. The game is pure roughness, there's practically no polish. Just pure unfiltered passion. It's why I found it so enjoyable though.

Dolls Nest on sale for summer sale, and to go with it the DEUS MACHINA DEMONBANE and Full Metal Demon MURAMASA promotional suits have been added each with their own weapons. They also finally added a practice range so loadouts can be tested without suffering through any given area.
I'd say it's worth $17.99. I found it perfectly reasonable at the $19.99 price point but a small discount is still a discount for those who care.

All sites will die one day. Pixiv will eventually stop hosting images, and there's a chance he may no longer have them all stored on his drive when that day comes. It's already extremely difficult to obtain most images on Twitter, never mind the fact said images are often hyper-compressed by the site. Personal archives can die at a moments notice, and that's if those with a personal archive are ever even willing to share. An artist fighting against archival is welcoming oblivion, wishing to be forgotten with the flow of time. :flan_yea:

I'm disappointed. Really. So this game's first demo was a lot more mysterious and atmospheric. Things were left far more for the player to decide upon and solve. There were a few mysteries where I swore I could do something more but couldn't figure it out myself.
Now this game is lacking in that manner. RPG mechanics have been added, which is fine I guess. However the Scarlet Devil Mansion commentary has messed with the game a bit. They will nonstop keep popping in with bare-bones comments or solutions to puzzles. Their suggestions and favor really don't seem to mean much of anything right now. Situations where you can choose who you add favor to often end the same way regardless of choice. Providing solutions to puzzles wasn't a joke by the way, early on a simple puzzle relating to an enemy type is presented and a solution is nearby. Originally it didn't elaborate on that because it figured you were smart enough to understand enemy weakness after being shown. Now the SDM characters chime in to say "wow, enemy is weak to that."
Despite calling leveling fine earlier, I am actually mixed on the mechanical implementation. Choosing a SDM character to side with for influence and what you receive is fine but I also feel that it takes away from the pure dice gameplay of the first demo. It made it so the player could be backed into a corner and have to find another way out of a situation. Now the player can be over-prepared just by performing a few actions and getting a level.

I was going to switch over to LTSC 10 at first but it wouldn't work at all with my system since it was too outdated. The latest feature update for 10 is mandatory for some more modern hardware to work on 10, and LTSC 10 doesn't use it (or didn't at the time) to my knowledge.

Again, LTSC is your best bet for a debloated 11, and then you can manually apply other patches later. It doesn't contain the AI features, hell it doesn't even contain the gaming features (which is actually a problem because the OS doesn't understand it, meaning you need to manually reinstall the services then disable them). MAS can activate them all so it's not an issue.

Being a child in the modern day and liking Pokemon is a hell of inconceivable scale. The card game is genuinely impossible to play because the only people who get the cards are scalpers and rich price speculators looking to sell graded cards at 10x the price. Some toys are difficult to get because of some perception of popularity or rarity. God forbid a child likes Vaporeon and wants a plush of it. The video games are a whole mess unto themselves. This franchise has become a cesspool of the worst of humanity and it still is mainly marketed at children who don't know any better.

Calling it "open world" slop feels wrong because it is still very much straightforward level based structure. Each area is a separate level. Some areas are large sure, but they're nowhere near an open world. :cirno_think:
Not gonna argue the point of slop since that's highly opinionated. I'm not really sure whether or not I consider the game slop right now. It's definitely struggling to have any identity of Doom though. All it really has of that is when it pans the camera out and shows the armor. It's struggling against even it's own claimed identity as mentioned with the fact it claims to be "medieval" but then the player enters a clearly science fiction lab to pick up a plasma weapon.
The biggest issue in all of this though is the fact that the game probably isn't even bad to play. It seems like a fine enough FPS and that's enough to sell it even though it has far too high a price point. It's likely going to keep selling and companies will assume it's what the people want and try to make more.

My biggest takeaway from seeing some footage of Doom The Dark Ages was how weirdly paced the start is. Like there's an entire section of tutorial in stage two about money and using it to buy upgrades. It has a big comedic MMO quest notifier in the corner and everything.
It's all rather strange and unfitting of either the original Doom games or the reboot Doom games. Not to mention how confusing the "Dark Ages" setting is when almost every single stage is taken up by a majority of Sci-Fi facilities and tech (but with the occasional wood or stone).

Be wary of a fairy arriving in your bed in the spring. For before you know it, you may be the father of a half-fairy half-human daughter (there is no such thing as a male fairy). It's a bit of a forceful method of taking a husband but it's not like you have much choice once it's happened. Waking up with a fairy next to you in the morning means it's time to plan a wedding.

It's a fucking Assassin's Creed game, they release these things anywhere from annual to biennial. It's not going to "evolve" or keep active development like a live service game. Ubisoft will release the one to two DLC planned (though maybe not conisdering how badly the release is going), and a few extra items in the in-game microtransaction shop like they always do with every single one of their open world games. :cirno_laugh: This is a laughable enough statement on any other Ubisoft title, but in this case it's so utterly out of touch that it's insane to see.

It's estimated to have cost $250-$350 million, which means anywhere from 5-7 million copies sold to do the bare minimum of breaking even.
Even better, because of the ubisoft subscription and constant keys, it's likely they need more than triple that in "tracked players" to actually break even.

Consider the following: Both. Or how about another girl displaying both?

Personally think ant girls are cutest as small chaotic gun loving creatures of possible destruction.

What kind of noble lady would she be without a large garden and a gardener to tend to it already?

Been checking out the Hero of Ice Fairy rougelite mode since Koishi's DLC releases sometime this month.
Man the EX boss destroying me. The game so very heavily hints and nudges at the boss, and when you reach her, it's very different. She's outright abandoned spell card rules, it's a one health bar boss fight, and boy does she abuse that fact. At least she gets a nice and threatening new track to go with the danger.

Sometimes when I see solid art, I look at the artist out of curiosity. Immediate work that stands out: something that gives me the slightly cursed thought someone might have an inhaler fetish.

Ah, bad performance means working as intended. It just so happens the intended experience is extra intrusive DRM/anti-cheat/anti-modding. :cirno_laugh:

I can't believe of all things, he had to say this. :cirno_laugh: Daima was good, this was well worth watching. 20 well done episodes.

Why does the fish have that look? What is her intent?
Never paid much attention to it before but damn does she have some unique eyes for her standard portrait.

Ah, if the great maiden of Chireiden were to read your mind, what would you have to show? Would it be lustful thoughts, disorganized madness, hatred, or something far off the usual mark?

Sometimes, upon seeing a piece of merchandise, you can't help but think of all the worst things. :cirno_peek:
It doesn't help seeing "life size" used to describe it.

The real fun of playing emulators on the Steam Deck is being able to use my capture card and OBS to fuck around. :flan_x3: It's always fun to be chaotic with decorations.

Bloodstained is a game I need to power through at some point, though I'm already well aware of quite a few things about it since, to be blunt, it's just a game of IGA's greatest hits. Pretty funny a game moreso meant to get him back into the industry fully has trapped the team finishing every content update promised during the kickstarter for around 4 1/2 years now.

Pretty solid idea for a metroidvania, they excel at this kinda simple but enjoyable story.
The bigger question is though, how "enjoyable" would the true ending quest be? :flan_smug2: Wouldn't be a metroidvania without some true ending annoyance being anywhere from inverse castle to La Mulana puzzle (though nobody can really pull off any La Mulana puzzle normally).
