Is this the greatest thing to ever grace planet earth?
I literally can’t stop touching myself
Such a high quality release.
BUT WHY IS THE CAMO BLURRY
I think it’s a regulation for the civilian models.
Something’s off. I’d be all over this normally but I can’t seem to get excited over this.
Your shit taste is showing.
Nah, I just think I’m kind of desens…descen…I’m kind of tired of the same thing over and over.
That’s what happens when you consume way too much fucking military equipment and weapons.
Yeah I think it’s that. I better stop buying so many weapons already or I’ll never find pleasure in them again.
Any word on the Camo stuff for other civilian weaponry?
They said they were going to announce more stuff on a later date.
I like porn, you guys.
THIS THREAD IS CLOSED
Anyone else remember that the userbase for danger/u/ is supposed to be primarily female? Because the devs sure didn’t. These parts just remain as gross and dumb as ever.

We have nanomachines tracking people 24/7. However, due to the violent protests that have taken place recently, Prime Minister QUINCY is now proposing a new law that will allow the government to “shut down” anyone with nanomachines in their body, using a pulse signal.
”Many people died during the protests, and that could’ve been avoided if we had more control over the masses,” QUINCY said during a parliament meeting. “We have the technology to simply shut down lawbreakers. It’s a non-lethal way to end any kind of conflict and it’s common sense to use it at this point.”
When asked about the possible negative consequences, QUINCY refused to make any further comments.
Ever since Giant Yusuke won the GSF belt, he’s had nothing but negative responses from the fans.
Challenger after challenger has tried to take the title away from the imposing giant, but nearly all of them were injured in the process.
66 American Kid surprised the GSF world by returning to action almost four months earlier than expected, and then challenging Giant Yusuke to a title match on January 4th at the Super Silver Thunder Dome.
”This January, I’ll become the champion GSF deserves!” 66 American Kid proclaimed during a promotion in front of 25,000 fans in the Kokoro Hall.
“I feel like shit.”
“You sure you should’ve come then? You’re in the alright to stay at home.”
“I have to come.”
In another game, this could have led to an insightful analysis. Unfortunately, this is VA-11 HALL-A.
“I threw away everything I had in my life to be here.”
“People I loved were pushed aside so I could enjoy my freedom of being here.”
“My stupid, stupid freedom…”
“…”
“So I will come here until I die, even after the bar closes, until my hair falls out.”
“You’re the one who looks like she’s about to fall apart.”
A master at pointing out the obvious and implied.
“Your eyes are red and swollen.”
“Yeah? Well…your hair is…hairy!”
“Yes, it is.”
“Agh! Who was the dipshit that changed the order of the glasses?”
“It was me. I was the one washing dishes yesterday, remember?”
“Oh yeah, I was too busy staring at my crumbling life and all that.”
“Why don’t you go home, Jill? You’re in no position to deal with people right now.”
“Go home, rest a bit.”
Honestly though he’s kinda right.
“My girlfrie-…my ex-girlfriend died and I wasn’t there to see her one last time.”
“All because of a fight I spent all these years regretting and wishing to, but never actually apologizing for.”
“My decision to assert my freedom and grab a hold of my life led me to this.”
“A bartender strapped for cash that distanced herself from her loved ones for no other reason than selfishness.”
“So I won’t fucking leave. I threw all of that away to be here, so here I will stay!”
“This is what I wanted, this is why I left all of that behind, this is why…”
“…”
“See? You’re starting to sound like a broken record.”
Do “not working” and “having company” have to be diametrically opposed, though?
“How are you feeling, Jill?”
“I feel like a shit-eating piece of shit.”
“I’m the lowest of any possible life form you might find.”
“Nanobes look down to me in disgust, knowing they’re far superior.”
“You’re spirited, that’s good.”
“Where’s the mutt?”
“Working with CIRA.”
“‘At’ CIRA.”
“I know what I said.”
“In any case, let Jill process her anger. It’s perfectly normal to feel that way.”
“And here, she’s surrounded by people that care about her.”
Also a good excuse to keep her working, I guess.
“That’s a lot better than leaving her to fend for herself.”
“I mean, as smart as Fore can be, he’s still just a cat.”
“Then why not have Jill stay, but not serve anyone today?”
“What part of ‘I won’t leave’ didn’t you understand?!”
“I didn’t leave everyone behind just to sit and do nothing!”
“Fine, fine…”
“sigh What do we do if she lashes out at a client?”
“That’s why you’re here, Gillian Pliskin.”
Somehow I feel like the devs are only familiar with that name through Metal Gear.
“Who?”
“Hey Jill.”
“What?”
“I’ll be in my office, but if you need a break or a hug, just tell me.”
“…”
“The hall of heroes keeps shining. Brimming with the… sniff Do I smell tacos? Wait, it’s outside. Nevermind.
“Oh, hell no.”
“…Virgilio. What can I get you?”
“Today, the luminous pollution on the streets makes it seem almost like a starry sky.”
“And when I think about stars, I think about celebrities. Celebrities are fishy and my favorite fish is the octopus.”
“So I want something octopus-like.”
“…”
“Aren’t you…gonna do that weird bartending thing?”
“I’m waiting for you to order like a decent human being.”
Moral of the day: don’t be a dick to service workers, ever.
“I’m not following.”
“Spell out your order like you’re a human who is not in need of medical help.”
“Fine then, I want a Sparkle Star. S-P-A-R-R…kle Star.”
“…”
“Have you TRIED to spell under pressure?”
“You look angry, Spelling Bartender. Are you having that time of the month or something?”
Haha, casual misogyny.
“No, I’m just filled with ridiculous amounts of anger, pain, and self-hate, and…”
“…on second thought, you’re not that far from the truth, I guess.”
“I get those too, you know? Periods.”
“…you do?”
God forbid trans people exist in this universe, or something.
“Yes. Last month, I finally got over my Renaissance and moved to my Enlightenment.”
“…”
“And here I was, thinking you’d get to say something serious for once.”
“Are you implying I’m not serious?”
“…”
“Glaring holes through me will do nothing. I’m glare-immune!”
“sigh”
“But if you allow me to give you a sincere piece of advice…”
“…whatever. It’s not like it’ll help.”
“You shouldn’t kick yourself so much.”
“If you keep it up, any chance of finally forgiving yourself will be someday be gone.”
“Self-hate will leave you with a hole that will never heal.”
“So please take measures against it instead of sulking so much.”
“…I’ll be damned. That actually sounded half-sensible.”
“And here I was thinking you were just a pompous lunatic.”
“Hey! Pompous lunatics have stories too!”
“Really? What story?”
Hopefully one about how his life got flipped turned upside down.
“I…would rather not tell.”
“Figures.”
“You want anything else?”
“Have you ever seen how the…”
“…”
“A-A Bad Touch.”
“…”
“Yeah, I guess this is the one.”
“…”
(“Maybe he’s right and I shouldn’t be so hard on myself.”)
“…”
(“Even though I deserve every second of it.”)
(“If only I had apologized earlier, I might not be feeling this way right now.”)
(“If only I…i-if only I…”)
(“I…I can’t even remember what held me from apologizing all these years.”)
Here’s a nice point to segue into one of this game’s problems. While the typical visual novel has plenty of narration and internal monologues - one could say they form the bulk of the genre, even - the way this game is formatted doesn’t really allow for those, and that results (at least in my opinion) in a far weaker narrative.
“Um…bartender. You’re making lots of faces there.”
(“Pride? Fear? What kept me from going out and apologizing to Lenore?”)
(“I can’t even fucking remember what feeling kept me from fixing this whole situation?”)
(“Can’t I at least find solace in whatever feeling it was that brought me to this situation?!”)
(“Great, now I’m feeling even worse thanks to not being able to muster whatever feeling held me.”)
“…”
“I-Is she okay?”
“No, but just leave her be for now.”
“Hey Jill!”
“…eh?”
“Oh, thank god. A normal person.”
“WAAAAAAA! A Mummy!”
“No, no. I don’t have kids.”
“…still more normal than this twat.”
Is twat commonly used as an insult outside of Britain? It just sounds kinda wrong in American English.
“How are you feeling, Sei?”
“My bones are still broken, but at least the cuts are healing nicely.”
“Thank god I’m not someone that scars easily.”
“Um… I mean wounds don’t leave me marks. It’d be a problem if I couldn’t get scar tissue.”
“What happened to you?”
“Fell off two and a half stories into some trash and rubble.”
“You look better, though. Last time you came, you looked like you were about to collapse emotionally.”
Uh, Jill, she WAS about to collapse emotionally. You were there.
“Heheh… I guess.”
“…”
“…you’re the one who looks like it now, though.”
“How do I put it…it’s like when I called you your full name, but magnified.”
“Yeah, don’t mind me too much. I’m in a bad mood.”
“Anything I can do?”
“Please forgive me if I suddenly lash out. At you or anyone else.”
“Do you want something?”
“My tongue’s not so sensitive today, so let’s have a Beer.”
“And you?”
“Such a change in tone.”
“I-I’m fine. I don’t need anything.”
“…”
“Yay! Let’s see if there are any differences from the canned ones.”
Probably doesn’t have that carbonated feel, for one.
“…and?”
“This one tastes…less watered down.”
“So, did something happen to you?”
“I’m fine, nothing’s happened to me.”
“People who are fine don’t act like that.”
Besides, someone saying they’re fine is like one of the more obvious indicators that they’re not fine.
“…oh! I get it. You’re in ‘those days’.”
Why are all the running gags in this game…like that?
“…”
“When it’s that time of the month, I get a bit sulky.”
“No, I’m not on my period.”
Just stop it, please.
“No?”
“sigh I’m dealing with the loss of someone, okay?”
“Oh!”
“…”
“…sorry.”
“Don’t worry.”
“sigh Maybe I shouldn’t have come today after all.”
“…”
“Um…”
“No, I…”
“Hm…”
“Maybe…”
“Agh!”
“Are you alright?”
“I-I’m trying to find something to say…”
“Making a joke would be tasteless, and I can’t say everything will be alright without it sounding…cheap.”
“I’m…at a loss as to what to do here. Sorry.”
“Heh…”
“Wanna hear something weird?”
“I was exactly like that when Stella came here on Monday talking about you.”
“Oh.”
“Well, ladies. I’m leaving.”
“…Virgilio.”
“Yeah?”
“You were just sitting with a Valkyrie.”
“sigh I’d feel bad about the way I treated him today.”
“…if not for the fact that he was being cryptic with his orders for no good reason.”
“Yes… NO!! I mean…”
“Heheh…”
“You could’ve given him a free Beer or something and apologized.”
“Yeah. I just keep messing things up with people.”
“But you know? He seemed familiar.”
“Familiar?”
“Yeah, I can’t put my finger on it though. I just feel like I’ve seen him somewhere.”
It’s a good thing this will never end up being relevant in any way whatsoever.
“Ah well, it might just be that he looks like someone from an ad or something.”
Or a popular youtube series.
“So, what brings you here?”
“I wanted to come with Stella. So I’m waiting for her.”
“Why here?”
“To be with you, of course!”
Jeez that’s gay.
“…”
“That reminds me. How did Stella react when you arrived?”
“She slapped me…real hard. It hurt.”
“She said, ‘That’s for making me worried and not listening to me!’ and then she became happy.”
“Huh…”
“Can I ask whose loss you are dealing with?”
“…you shouldn’t be bothered with it.”
“Just pretend I’m in a bad mood and call it a day.”
“Oh, okay.”
“…”
By the end of this game 90% of the dialogue will just be ellipses. Possibly even 95%
“…”
“…you really want to know, huh?”
“I can’t help it! I don’t like seeing people sad. I just need to know context, not details.”
“sigh Someone to whom I said some mean thing to passed away before I could ever see her again.”
Well that’s one way to put it.
“Does that work?”
“Yeah. Sorry.”
“Knowing I can’t do anything helps me calm down but…”
“E-E-EH! I mean…it’s not that I wouldn’t help! I just…”
“Calm down. I get it.”
“I can’t contain myself when I see people in need.”
“But I’ve learned that there are times when you just can’t do anything…and that’s kinda fine.”
That’s…a bit of a morally dubious outlook on life, but hopefully I’m just misreading that.
“Thank god I learned that, otherwise I would’ve gone insane ages ago.”
“You’re a good person, Sei.”
“Nah, I’m just an annoying girl.”
“Still, if there’s anything I can do to help, let me know.”
“I have broken bones but that doesn’t mean I can’t offer emotional support.”
“You could always order another drink.”
I don’t think that constitutes emotional support, Jill.
“Oh yeah! That! Let’s do that.”
“Get me something cold, please.”
“Alright.”
As always, use opportunities like these to make the most expensive drink you can.
“It’s pretty cold outside though.”
I’m the kind of person that eats ice cream in the winter so I don’t really see a problem with that.
“Yeah, but I don’t like hot or warm drinks.”
“They make me feel nauseous.”
“You know what cheers me up?”
Booze?
“What?”
“Singing. Hearing people sing helps too.”
That too, I guess.
“Do you sing? I mean…did you take singing lessons or something?”
“Nope. People have told me my voice is pretty nasty, actually. But they’ve also told me I’m good with the harmonica.”
“So you play the harmonica?”
“I needed something to do some breathing exercises with, and a harmonica is a lot smaller than a tuba.”
“And I guess if you practice enough, you become decent.”
Pretty sure this is a universal piece of advice.
“That’s something I didn’t expect.”
“I hear that a lot. I know I don’t look like the musical type.”
“I used to play the violin. Right until I was…16 or so.”
“Really? Can you still play?”
”Fuck no.”
“The violin’s at my mom’s house, so I don’t have it with me.”
“But I guess I could. It’s one of those things you don’t forget easily.”
“Why did you stop?”
“I don’t know. One day, I just felt like stopping. No deep reason behind it.”
“Just like me and cooking!”
Hot take: cooking is great and you should learn to how to cook if you can.
“That…and almost burning my place up.”
While attempting to make a bowl of cereal, I’d imagine.
“…”
“When’s Stella coming?”
“Now that you mention it, she’s a bit late. Let me call her.”
