It's after my time. I was a Christopher Pike kid.

>>26364
What are these about?

>>26364
Omg same, I collect these now as adult along with Fear Street books.

>>26801
They're old YA horror books from the 90s, some of them are cheesy but a lot were pretty good

>>26364
Too scawy for me

Both of these passed me by. Twilight was coming out when I was in middle school, and the Hunger Games movies came out when I was at uni. During middle school we would open the Twilight books to random pages and read passages aloud and giggle. (Years later I would do this page-flipping with adult friends and a copy of Fifty Shades of Grey… Twilight (and its fandom) was truly the gift that kept giving.) By the time I was in high school the Twilight books were a joke. As for the Hunger Games, I never felt its cultural impact. Like, someone would say "the new Hunger Games movie is in theaters" and we all knew what that meant but nobody I knew was into the franchise.

As for why I never read them: I had a big aversion to romance, and this thread is making me realize that back then and to this day I mostly read one-offs and short story collections. If a book is billed as the first of a series or part of the [blahblahblah] series I tune out.

Or underage. Taste of a 10th grader

>>26822
Now this is the kinda gatekeeping I can get behind, it is kid opinion shit, undeveloped and unrefined taste, full agree.

He was cutest as Tate.

>>26824
He has such a range, he can play any twink or gay bottom perfectly fine.

>>26823
That is such a cope.
>Oh she doesn't like hairy buff men and grandpas so she's an underage pick-me this and that
Men are supposed to be good looking.

>>26603
i liked him during the quests, but i never got the appeal of him as a husbando

The classic. I bet he has a tallywacker like a Pringles can

Sebastian from Black Butler

>>26670
Sebas-chan is top tier!

I love him

>>26814
I know where you post

"No way a woman listens to [insert literally anything]"

What do you mean? I can be chronically online if I want to

>>26818
>If forgot quote reply
I post there too, settle down, it wasn't a judgement
>If speaking of OP's concept
Well yeah but where you find the stuff you like, this aint a thread of judgement.

>>26814
Super cringe and moid

>>26820
I just said no judgements faggot moid scrote behavior to ignore a request and just use it to hurt others.
Youre the only man here retard.

>>26574
Chaplain pairing? I'm intrigued, this sounds very tickling of my thing for religious boys (Who are sadly too rare).

Ooh yay a book thread! Give me some recommendations for some Mexican American stories dealing with familial generational trauma?

>What have you read recently?
Read an old Shivers book (a Goosebumps competitor from the 90s, they're cute kid books) and a Stephen King novel, I've decided the man is a freak and I'm not a fan
>Favorite books you've read this year?
The Simple Wild, Tampa, The Smell of Other People's Houses, My Dark Vanessa
>Books that you found memorable
Tampa; Bunny; Valley of the Dolls
>Books you found bad (and why)
Nothing But Blackened Teeth, it was barely a horror story and tried way too hard to be woke; The Silent Patient, idk it just sucked and wasn't shocking; White Ivy, it had a nonsensical ending and the MC was very entitled and annoying

What have you read recently?
Gideon the Ninth, Harrow the Ninth, Throne of Glass, Crown of Midnight, Heir of Fire
Favorite books you've read this year?
Definitely the Locked Tomb (Ninth House) books!
Books that you found memorable
See above. Gideon the Ninth in particular
Books that you found bad (and why)?
Throne of Glass. Omfg. The author is so bad. By Heir of Fire, she's finally getting a little better, but this is a whole new level of Mary Sue. She's the chosen one…..she's also THE SECRET DOUBLE CHOSEN ONE! Also she romances ever fucking man she meets. My god.

>>26431
I love the secret history! I read it recently and could not put it down until I finished it - wish I could find another book that sucks me in like that. I started Donna Tartt's other book, the little friend, but it's not as good so far.

what about europop/rave(?) with retarded shitpost lyrics

That's nice there's a modded option to kill NPCs I hate games that cheap out on that

Nice job misspelling the title.
So I guess the new update did get new people playing the game. But I'm not redownloading 70+ gigs on my shitty internet for cosmetic shit when there's still the depressing endings.

You bet I did. I installed the ‘target analysis’ mod so that all other takedowns would be non lethal (it’s my preferred play style it’s more fun going stealth/non murderer)

Him and the other head dudes at clouds got torn the fuck apart though.

>>26630
I wish Cyberpunk had some gory kills like Fallout. I wanted to crush the skull of some moids in game. For example that guy I posted in the OP he was more AIDS than moid at that point so it was a mercy kill.

>>24788
The music from this show is to die for. I will listento it until I'm 80 idc

Does anyone here know where I can find scans of the Shojo Beat magazines in full? I love the nostalgia but no idea where to look..

>>26069
there are physical copies on ebay. I have a few but plan on buying more.

>>26733
You are in my eyes anon

>>26069
Tried mangadex?
>>26711
She's asking for scans tho not physical copies

I remember struggle with utapri music on psp/vita. I mean it’s possible, but kinda harrrd
Oh, and touhou series games

Project Diva can get pretty difficult, I've played most of the games and now playing MegaMix+ I think it might be the hardest one for me. I'm usually pretty good with rhythm games. What mainly messes with me is those combo inputs where you have to press a bunch of different buttons at the same time and it's often difficult to tell the exact timing and buttons bc visually there's a lot of stuff going on all at once on the screen. I'm playing with playstation style icons since I'm more used to it, then it suddenly changes to switch icons, and my brain can't keep up bc half the time I'm thinking about playing pc games with the xbox button layout, which messes me up sometimes playing switch and 3ds games in general. Anyone else have this problem, I wish I could unlearn the mirrored abxy and it's why I set my pc games to show playstation button icons if they support that but unfortunately many pc games don't.

>>26680
I've played all those games and they are definitely hard, the only one I managed to beat was trauma team which seemed easier than the others.

>>26681
Put a lot of effort in lobotomy corp but haven't beat it either, being able to go back in time and undo mistakes really helps, but yeah it does get pretty brutal.

Another difficult game I still managed to make progress on and have a lot of fun with was Hollow Knight. After much suffering I beat all the bosses, got all collectables and endings, but ragequit after dying around the end of the 2nd pantheon too many times. Still waiting for silksong…

Hollow Knight
I usually don't like platformers but I played it for the aesthetic.

>>26667
Touhou EOSD in anything above normal mode.

For me it was chrono cross because 12 year old me couldn't figure out the combat system.

>>26239
> i thought it was too graphic and explicit, but it reflects the young generations imo as zoomers have been watching porn and other gross things ever since they were children
I never made such connection, but now it sounds plausable. In the anime there are scenes where a little boy uses the computer to look at dirty images, and I think that this character was around 6 years old.

>>26246
>>26242
Has no one here seen the source material?
The anime might actually be more toned-down. GO Nagi is a proto-coomer.

I thought that it was really really boring

It's been years since I watched it, but it was a "problematic fave" of mine when I watched it. The original Devilman and OVA is like that for me too. People seem to forget that Go Nagai was a raging perverted scrote, and the appeal of Devilman in the 70s was that it was extremely trashy. But the manga is pretty tame in comparison to today's standards. So I think the trashyness of Crybaby and how shocking it is to a modern audience was probably how people in the 70s felt about the original.

I didn't like some of it, though. I didn't like that Sirene was downgraded to be a prostitute and that Akira basically and rapes and kills her midway. I know, it's trashy, and Sirene dies in the original, but I always thought she was cool despite the nude design so it was disappointing. Ryo's modern design has an awful haircut, I miss his old design.

OP, how was Crybaby too much but Devilman Lady not? I personally couldn't handle the Devilman Lady manga because of the…issues, for lack of a better word.

It was pure shit. I didn't really like the manga either and haven't finished it. I seriously don't understand why so many people praise it, from actual connoisseurs to zoomers just getting into anime. It was so uncomfortably explicit, and not in an interesting way, coming from someone that likes ero-guro.
The manga is considered to be a big influence and sure I can recognize that, but the netflix anime was both boring and bad. The plot and the pacing was so ridiculous at some points to the point that it was funny.
