What's friendship?

>>22341
In Nanoha's case, it generally involves getting blasted with a high-powered energy beam.

>>22341
This!

>>22342
Oh, so you mean Japanese sex.

>>22343
A hug is friendship?

>>22344
I'm completely unfamiliar with that relation.

>>22344
>Friend: a person attached to another by feelings of affection or personal regard.

>Friendship: the state of being a friend

Ya, they hug I think.

>>22345
As expected of a filthy gaijin.

>>22347
I'm quite familiar with mana transfer, and no beams are involved.

CGI dragons, yes. Fishies and dolphins, sometimes. But no lasers.

>>22346
Did Google help you there or did you come up what that on your own~? I think it's the former~

>>22348

>quite familiar with mana transfer

Uwaa, ecchiii~

>>22328
>Give me a choice between "other servant who serves as Shirou's ally towards the end" and Lancer is miles and miles ahead of Rider.
Well I'm a little biased on that point since Rider is my favourite F/SN girl besides Ilya.

>And yes, the final battle scene in HF sucks. It's glorified so much, but it's basically just Kotomine beating on Shirou until he runs out of gas.
Personally I thought it was more because either of them still had the energy left to fight at that point that made it even more impressive. Both of them are on their last legs, and then it breaks down into a manly fistfight between the two.
Maybe it's just me, but I'll always take a manly fistfight over an overly showy battle of magic and swords any day.

>>22326
Superhero, cold-blooded killing machine, same thing!

>>22349
I'm not pretending it wasn't. You little demon.

>>22351

It's different! Kiritsugu couldn't become one, which is why Shirou needed to take on his dream!

>>22348
Slut~

>>22350
Go away Fatty.

>>22351
Well, opinions, etc. I personally liked the big magical battles, but I can see why they tried to stick a brutal fist-fight at the end. It just didn't resonate very well with me, especially since Kotomine being able to show up there at all was a bit of a stretch. Kinda seemed like they shoehorned him in just to have Shirou fight him again without worrying about actually having it fit into the story. Oh well, though, a lot of people like it, and more power to them, I guess.

>>22350
It's a perfectly normal procedure for magi, you know.

>>22354

T-to say such a thing to kami-sama....!

>>22355

T-that's normal?!

>>22356
God~? Don't kid yourself~ Stick with your JUSTICE, nub~

at least I liked the concept of Angra manryu......
and Dark Sakura....everything else in HF is not worth mentioning.

So what made you want to post with Saya all of a sudden?

>>22359

>>22358

My justice is kami-sama's justice!

>>22359

Dark Sakura is easily the worst part of HF.

>>22361
>Dat ending

>>22362
I am refering to the concept, not the character itself.

>FSN talk again

>>22365

There's purple waifu~

>>22362
Yet you can't beat my Dark World.

>>22366
Best for mainstream perhaps. I have no intention of finishing it.

>>22368
I know the intro of FS/N is kinda tedious, but not THAT tedious. How do you make it through a game of Civ with that kind of attention span~?

>>22369
what Rin said, the Fate route may drive you nuts, but UBW route is something you must read.

>>22369
No, it sucks. Despite the intro, I still fell asleep during it.

>>22371
Yes, yes, I already get that you hate all that is good and reasonable.

>>22369
Backstory perhaps, there's chunks of them scattered throughout the VN. The cooking/going to school/normalfag life scenes were interesting at first, but they become somewhat of a hassle to click through after some time. (Yes, I click instead of leaving the VN on autoplay)

As for Civ games, I usually don't finish one game in one sitting, it can go up to 5 or 6 sessions especially if it's at Epic speed. With that said, I admit I don't have the patience to try out modern warfare, the furthest I've been is with Rifles.

>>22370
How should I describe this. Certain books and VNs draw me in and urge me to keep on reading the next word, line, paragraph etc. Fate and the first half of UBW hasn't been very .... addictive.

>>22373
Eh, if you've made it all the way through part of UBW and don't want to read more, you probably won't like the rest of it, even if the end of UBW is a lot more epic than Fate.

When did /seacats/ become so "underground elitist" about its VNs, anyway?

>>22374
And to be honest, I barely ever make it to the modern era warfare in Civ IV too, mostly because I try to end the games before then.

A well-played Civ towards the start of the modern era has such incredible production capabilities that you start getting unit stacks totaling 50+ units and it does severely slow down gameplay (against the AI, though, you can usually afford to divide up such a stack into a few smaller stacks to make things quicker).

>>22372
The picture you paint of me is.. cruel.

>>22338
Yes! Yes!

>>22376
I was exaggerating for effect, try not to take it so personally. Though you are calling one of the few VNs I'm actually interested in crap.

>>22374
It's probably just me being elitist etc. Although the UBW movie omitted many scenes from the VN or so I've heard, I believe watching the movie somewhat spoiled the general gist of the plot for me, hence the lack of motivation to read it.

>>22375
Indeed, however it seems like I'm missing out greatly on what Civ 4 warfare has to offer. Some examples include training a great general unit up till level 10 etc, naval combat and nukes.

With that said, it tends to get annoying when a modern resource like oil pops up on my town tile, forcing me to demolish it in exchange for the ability to build modern units.

>>22378
I jest. I hardly even read VNs. Though, it's still hard to not take anything you say to heart... Guess I'll go to bed and rid you of my presence.

>>22379
A city on the resource will allow you access to the resource. You don't have to demolish the city to get it. You simply lose out on the extra productivity the resource + improvement adds to the tile.

For example, if you build a city on an iron resource, you will have access to swordsman and other units you can build from iron. However, it's not a very efficient thing to do, because a mine on an iron tile creates a HUGE boots to hammers the tile provides, while a city on the tile will receive at maximum a +1 boost.

Though you should keep in mind that often later resources are revealed before you can actually make use of them. In the case of oil, for example, it is revealed by the Scientific Method technology, but you cannot actually build a well to gain access to the resource until you have the Combustion technology (or Plastics for water-based oil). Ergo, if you build a city on an oil resource, you won't be able to use the oil until Combustion, even if you reveal it when you discover Scientific Method.

>>22380
If you're intentionally trolling me, then why are you taking my responses so harshly?!

>>22381
Unless I misunderstood you with this big explanation and you were referring to a mature cottage aka a "Town" rather than a city. If so I apologize, been a while since I last Civ'd.

>>22382
Emotional instability plus feeling down etc. Someone can take control of character in /parlor/ if they wish.

>>22381
>>22382
Yup, I was referring to a mature cottage. If so, I take it that resource tiles such as copper/iron/marble/oil etc require their specific improvements to be built on them before they provide the bonuses that come with having that resource?

>>22383
Well, geez, I am sorry. I assumed that since you weren't being all that serious, you wouldn't take me so seriously either.

>>22384
In order to allow you to build the units associated with them, trade them, and receive the boosted improvement bonus, yes. Though by the later stages of the game I typically have so many cottages that losing one or two mature cottages isn't that big of a deal, though it's certainly disappointing if it pops in one my major commerce centers (on the other hand, it's certainly preferable to not having the resource, and oil is most commonly found in useless desert/water tiles anyway).

>>22383

Be genki, cake-san~!

>>22387

Yes yes Cirno-chan is a mexico.

>>22388
>Cirno-chan is a mexico.
A whole Mexico?

>>22389

yop

>>22389
Cirno is the queen of Mexico~~~

Too quiet...

>>22392
Was busy with other things, like pre-ordering myself an Elsie Nendoroid which I had no idea even existed until like 15 minutes ago.
It's actually incredibly convenient. I've been looking for a nice Elsie figure for ages, and I've wanted to get a few Nendos for a while now, so this takes care of both.

>>22393
If you have the money, buy both

>>22394
>few thousand just sitting in bank account gathering dust
Good idea, I forgot I could actually afford things now.

Girlfriend still hasn't called back. The work of the last three days was lost all at once. It was beyond my control. That night I dreamed I met a sentient baked dessert, the novelty wore off when he sold out my location to a black cat. My immediate future is a relentless wave that will come and pass whether or not I am able to surmount it. I was unable today to find something setting myself out from my monotonous peers, I didn't stand out. I wasn't worshiped. Other people were the center of attention and I found myself silent. But then I remembered. There is a forum somewhere not yet dead where five or so people recognize me with varying degrees of fondness under the name of a character from a Japanese doujin picture book. They know me. They know me on the internet. I also sometimes like to post as a girl. And nobody can take that away from me.

>>22396
wat
>>22395
and howd you get that money

>>22397
Nobody.

>>22396
...Hello Piece.

>>22396
>There is a forum somewhere not yet dead
Debatable. I'd say it's dead, not as dead as usual, but deader than it was a while ago. Sort of like, slowly dying, like an injured animal caught in a bear trap.

>>22397
ESA (and some other benefits thing), £650 a month, etc.

lol piece.

hi piece

>>22402

>>22398
oh, hi piece

Also >girlfriend
weren't you the one parading 2d etc~

>>22403

Hi little girls.

Hi piece, having problems with friend?

>>22404
That? I was only kidding. Goes to show you should be careful with satire over the internet, where the tone is harder to read.

The love of 2D is after all only a manifestation of the mind's imagination interacting with the desire to procreate a real partner. And this overwhelming desire to settle down and start a family is after all the driving force of sexually reproductive life, and the masterwork of evolution. A man who denies that denies his origin, his future, his purpose. His entire existence.

>>22408
oh you.

>>22408
I see you are still fine and kicking and your ability to write walls of deep text is still going well, that's good to know.
What have you been doing lately, aside from professional trolling?

>>22408
Did you get Friend pregnant??????????

>>22407
He's sleeping right now. Who sleeps? Not me. If I did, I might dream the same thing again.

>>22410
I have never trolled, let alone professionally. Satire is different.

Good afternoon everyone.

Indistuingishable from Meta, huh.

>>22414
Good evening to you too, mademoiselle.

>>22414
>>22413
Hello Lily and Rosa!

>lily and Rosa
Flowers flowers everywhere~~~

laptop working again for now

>>22415
I give up, I don't even know if this is Piece or Meta anymore. You're completely identical.

>>22418
meta isn't as witty as piece
or as he would say, he wouldn't waste energy on fluffing things up

>>22418
Its piece.....Meta only appear on gameboard.

>>22420
Well, that's not exactly true...

Anyway, I sort of thought the same thing as Lili. It was starting to leave a bad taste in my mouth if it was him.

>>22418

>>22415
I actually thought you were Meta for a second.

piece posts without a name etc ne

Only one who's ever called me mademoiselle, or used any French while sporting the Battler pictures, is Meta.

>>22425
Piece, Meta, what's the difference? If you know your seacats history Piece's first post was simply pretending to be Meta.

heheheheheheh it seems that when we mention someone that person appears.......let me try...
Astaroth I summon you!~~~~~

>>22425
ur meta
>>22427
astaroth is actually around

>>22428
Oooh , the summon system works~~~

>>22429
he was around before that you baka

>>22430
oh......I see.....

>>22431
Don't let it get to you, kiddo.

>>22425
You remembered?

>>22427
?

>>22432
>>22433
and just when I was about to commercializate the summoning machine~~~~~~~

>>22433
By the way, Astaroth, how is our little project coming along?

>>22435
I knew I was forgetting something.

>Square enix registers name of Final Fantasy XIII-3
Really square enix, you haven't milked it enough?

>>22436
...I see.

>>22437
I'll pirate it.
