Been told the “kink” is balanced. Of course it isn’t. It blatantly caters to men that only see women as sexual objects.

I honestly do NOT see how it’s balanced. Female frames are always “sexy” (a lot with high heels) while male frames of course run the gamut of “eldrich horror” to maybe sexy.

The storylines: The women are all mothers, lovers, damsels that need to be saved, dead or a combination of these. See also: How Jade’s story was all about A MAN (who gets a name) and how he was mad that she _died in childbirth_ as well as at the Tenno for..doing nothing, they didn’t cause that. Anyways Edgebro.
The Lotus needs saving every other day. She’s also demasked and has a boob window. Something I don’t think we get to see with Teshin (Duviri doesn’t count, even then he has a beard coving his face.) Even the Dax in the Erra cutscene has her mask broken. (Always got to show the woman’s face).
Suda, a cephalon, needs saving from herself by… men (Male cephalon).
Vent Kid’s sister needs to be saved by you.
All the female Entrati family women have their breasts emphasized and their faces clear of infestation.
(Let’s not even get into how lots of women are portrayed as evil, and how machines are gendered female: Necramech, Exploiter Orb)
The men’s storylines?: Constant redemption for being horrible people. (Alad V, Nef Anyo, Ballas actually take a day out to help you a bit before going back to being evil) Heroes. Powerful people. The Queens? Nope.

The men we do see that are ‘pretty’ get “uglified” like Ballas and the entirety of On-Lyne.

The female agents you get on missions show their face, the men do not.
Let’s not mention that a majority of the men look 30+ in age and the women around 20-

Female frames: always gotta have boobs and butt and a lot have high heels. As you showed.. only 1.. 1!! male frame is even remotely ‘sexy’ and it STILL caters to men.

1999: We have the ‘exotic’ Asian woman, the ‘spicy Latina and the Sexy woman with boob armor. (Two of the frames they are based on play the same. Interchangeable. Pick your flavor of woman.)
Men?: Snake, Big Boss and Otacon.

The ‘kink’ only caters to men and having yet another ‘sexy’ skin for a female frame adds fuel to all the gamerbros that are currently screaming about how Aloy has face fuzz and thus ‘is a man!’ and how Sony censored their sexy game. As well as fueling the idea that women need to be sexy ALL the time, even when they are warriors.

This probably the worst non-indie otome game I’ve played so far. I question if this was really written for a female audience.
The MC is a complete doormat and treated like a child by the men around her. She is of course younger than them because not only are women expected to be subservient, but also younger for some reason. In one scene the boys are actively keeping away a shoujo manga from the MC. A manga that was written and designed for her target audience. All because it’s too “steamy”. In this she is treated as a child who should not be exposed to anything remotely sexual. Yet we have two of the boys constantly touching her without consent, especially Karasuba that even touches her legs and sits close to her. This also has that gross habit of all Japanese media of having a woman apologize for everything she does and her existence. Even when it’s not her fault.
This game also goes really hard on hating women. Being called a “woman” is an insult to men, which is why our society’s insults are based on likening everything to being female, or female anatomy.

Now that this is done, I’ll have to see how it’s loose sequel holds up.

Music is however fantastic. If anything give the soundtrack a listen.

People thinking that Linux will solve all the issues with Windows 11. However the common consumer doesn’t even know Linux exists sometimes.

TL;DR: There needs to be ONE Linux flavor to rule them all (Debian seems to be the top one), run Windows programs without flaws, have superior driver support for things like VR, needs to be simple and baby, and the community needs to not be whiny techbros.

—
The problem with Linux is that it can’t do Windows games. yes Proton exists and helps, but it can’t do games with nProtect and other DRM garbage.
Linux can’t do drivers for popular tools. I know the VR especially Oculus support is very much lacking and/or broken. Not even sure my LeapMotion will work.

Proton isn’t an option because I’m betting it’s not a “One click install and works”. Which is what the average user of Windows 10/11 needs. The culture of Linux is also one of “Well they just need to learn CLI and how to do it!” This turns people off and makes Linux look like an arrogant “hobby project”.

Another of what’s bad is all the Linux flavors. Too many and the various setup guides for people that might want to switch are for that flavor. NPM, Yum, Apt-get? If it doesn’t work on their flavor then they just toss it all as ‘too hard’. You want this program? Run a Docker instance? What’s that? Here’s a wall of text and even then it’s not 1 click install.

I too suffer from this. Look to see how to upgrade/fix/install a program and it’s written for Red Hat, Arch or some other flavor. I hate to say there needs to be one flavor and it needs to be stuck to, but that’s why people use Windows. Windows is Windows is Windows. (I know there’s a difference but installing on all windows is the same)

Why do all these Linux people assume that the common consumer understands how to get and install Linux? Most people I know don’t even know how to turn Windows Updates off since it’s a more involved process now.

In regards to people going to throw their computer away when it’s no longer supported.
If the computer can’t be upgraded and isn’t supported by software devs, then they consider it effectively “Obsolete” and they “Need a new computer”. So they shove the one they have in the dump and go buy a new one.

I’ve seen my parents do this before when the computer starts just slowing down. Toss the old, get a new.

Then we get into the Linux community itself which has treated new users with hostility and “RTFM”. Windows users don’t RTFM. Yes they want it babyfed to them and there’s nothing wrong with that. They want to “1 click install, 1 click upgrade” and having a Mint install eat itself alive to where I had to format and reinstall IS NOT AN OPTION. You can’t have a catastrophic failure like that and telling people to “Backup before update” is only for people who have the luxury of money for extra storage and cloud. (Let’s not even talk about the misogyny and racism that goes on)

Yeah I want to see Linux as a defacto too, but like.. the community around it has got to change and there needs to be a flavor you can install no probs..

It’s another show about girls made to appeal to pedophiles and has the tentacle rape jokes a plenty for you. Complete with a predatory lesbian that wants to get it on with these children.

If you want to learn about fishing please do it from another fishing anime, unless you are one of those otaku that loves all your gross pedo anime.

First and foremost the translation by Demiforce is pretty garbage. Not only do they add themselves to the narrative on one clue, but there’s also lots of American pop cultural references as well as “Wassup,G” in one part of the game that is out of place. Some of these references weren’t even around when the game was made. One major thing is the transphobia they added for one character in particular when you are interviewing students. Of course Nintendo gave them something to work with which is the other half of this review. How utterly misogynistic this whole game is.

This is the prequel game to “The Missing Heir”. So it basically is telling you where Ayumi came from.

Ayumi who made a Detective Club at school with her friends Hitomi and Yoko. Yoko who was murdered and is the main case of the whole game. Ayumi who is only there as a prize at the end for ‘doing good’ and then becomes the main office slave, useful to get coffee and do men’s menial labor. So much for being a Detective. Of course there are a number of points where she’s “just in the way” as well. Leading for her to be taken as a damsel to be saved… twice.
Yeah this game is a dating sim too.
At least she wasn’t Yoko! Yoko faces a worse fate.

By the end of the game the text exonerates a murder who is also an accessory to murder. Who literally DISPOSED of Yoko and killed Shinobu. The game praises him as a “good guy”. The girls of course are simply trash. Thrown away. He dies an “honorable” death. “He looks up for his students!” As long as they are male.
Meanwhile this is where the plot goes off the rails. Where everything points to him and it flips to “Oh, this other teacher is suddenly a homicidal maniac and REALLY did all the killings!” The story would have been much better if it was about a man who everything thinks is “great and wonderful” but in the end was human garbage. Nope, gotta put all that on someone else… right. at. the. very. end. Just to have Mr. Dogshit come out smelling clean, despite a hit and run and then disposing of the body. Despite tossing a girl into a river. Girls aren’t human to Nintendo in this game.

Also of course it has the “Yoko looks EXACTLY like Shinobu” interchangeable women BS as well on top of all this.

On top of all this there are points where you are blocked not knowing what to do. One is a dunk guy where you have to go through all of the options more than once and is just annoying. Prepare to get stuck.
