>Tfw no alien bunny gf Lop is cute but I have never really been into Star wars since I watched the clone wars series. Even though Star Wars Visions is basically the japanese studio given free reign to do as they please with it. Still deciding whether or not I wanna watch it since it's all just shorts being seperated from star wars lore. Looking at the shift away from the japanese theme in season 2 isn't really giving me confidence to even watch it at all.

>Oraingen suddenly starts uploading art to Pixiv again Can't say I'm a big fan of the delay, but I'll take it. It's crazy just how much damage Twiter cracking down on nitter instances and the death of their RSS feeds did to the kemono thread and this place in turn. So many of the imagedumps turned out to rely on that one technology, and dealing with current year Twitter is so bad that most anons just don't bother following artists with it.

>>77576 Succs are usually considered some of the more skilled infiltrators amongst monsters, so they likely have some control over that. Plus if she's actually in love with you, then she won't object to occasional cuddle sessions, even if the energy she can absorb through mere skin contact isn't enough to satisfy her hunger. Getting high on succubus pheromones and hallucinating whatever she wants you to doesn't sound so bad either though

Do you prefer a certain skin color on your demonic women?

>>78107 Blue, purple or red, but honestly anything exotic is fine

>>78107 I do prefer their skin more on the human-like side. Maybe whiter/ivory-like or just a bit more pink-hued than a human should be, but overall nothing fancy. I like them to have large wings and fleshy tails as compensation

>>74624 Being in my late-30s and having had a passion for mythology since I was in First Grade and the teacher let me read what were essentially kid's stories versions of famous myths like Perseus. Dunno how else to answer that.

>>61317 It's always bugged me how the Biblical angels are male but all modern depictions of them are female. Syncretism seems like an obvious explanation, but what do you mean by the "ministry of the Apostle Paul?" Do you mean the one in Acts and Galatians or some separate (or later) organisation? The valkyrie influences seem more prominent in Japanese stuff where they generally show up in armor and arms. I wonder if that's cross-contamination with some native legend.

>>77853 >but all modern depictions of them are female. Probably just a thing of modern west being duped into making femininity synonymous w8th innocence, ignoring that old biblical angels were ready to kill people as often as they were simply kind messengers

After a very long time (9 years since the last english release, 6 years since it came out in Japan), we finally got Volume 5 of I Heart Monster Girls, Monmusu's anthology series. Even better, Volume 6 is set to release in April, just two months away. There's a lot of M.O.N. girls focused chapters in this one, especially Manako, plus some other side characters also got to make an appearance. It's up on nyaa as always.

Any idiot can (and has) made at least one visual novel in Ren'Py I made several tiny VNs when I was a teenager, although I don't think I ever finished or published any, and it's the easiest shit in the world outside Twine games and maybe very basic RPG Maker games. The bar is so low that you don't even have to use Python for the basic stuff. Just take a look at this sample of the engine's scripting language from its website: label family: scene bg beach2 with dissolve "It wasn't long before Mary broke the silence, by asking me a question." show mary dark smiling with dissolve m "I told you a little about my family... but I haven't asked you about yours yet.

You learn something new every day. But yeah, that was a pretty wild turn. Guess it wasn't our intuition talking to us. Honestly don't know what to make of this development or how to proceed. The fruit I think correspond pretty well to the people around us, but everything after that I can't guess at all. Trying to collect our thoughts would probably be helpful here, but it would also mean being by ourselves when we're clearly in a pretty vulnerable state, so I'm against it. It'd be either 1 or 2. I guess 1 would be best, getting rehydrated and getting more food is worth the risk of getting bugged. A side quest also sounds like it could potentially help us find whatever the hell it is Bacchus and the hippy deity want us to find. So yeah, 1.

It'd be nice to keep the OP on the smaller side, but if any of you have any suggestions for stuff to add (especially if it covers something the existing links don't), I'd be happy to toss a couple more things in there.

https://x.com/draw_the_dice/status/1869366488664264766 It doesn't look like anybody made a new /mggt/ and I don't want to risk messing something up so I'll just post about it here because the game is about ghosts anyway. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nz1NpnYvpi0 I started Awaria a few days ago. As the trailer states: it is a game about playing as a (cute) maintenance girl working in haunted tunnels. Stations break down and need to be repaired with parts which can be collected throughout the level. All this must be done within a time limit for each broken station while dodging the attacks of the ghosts who haunt the tunnels. Mittsies' soundtrack pairs well with the frantic gameplay, keeping the pace up but still matching the vibe of cold and haunted tunnels littered with unreliable machinery. I don't claim to be good at games by any means but even on easy this game is really hard. It is engaging though and I appreciate that the difficulty setting applies to the individual chapters instead of the entire game. It means you can switch back and forth to your liking. I feel like the hitboxes are rather generous too. The wirecutters seem like they have properly slim hitboxes while the flames have larger ones. Nothing feels deceptive so the difficulty comes across as honest, which I greatly appreciate. The story seems pretty simple so far, I am on chapter 9 so far but I am almost done too so I doubt a whole lore bombshell will drop. So far the game just has you playing as a cute girl who wants to rizz ghosts. Speaking of cute: the ghosts are cute too. My favorite is Nikita because I like flamethrowers and I like older women and I like tall women and Nikita is all of those things. Unfortunately, she still gets a thrill out of trying to kill me, as do all of the ghosts. I suppose that is it for my review. If you play this game I would highly recommend relying on your joystick instead of the d-pad since diagonal movement will become imperative very quickly.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3155570/Decollate_Decoration/ A new game recently game out, but this time, (you)'re the ghost. Gal turned vengeful spirit has but one mission, to kill her beloved so they can be joined in the afterlife. She has to make sure he knows she is the one behind the haunting and lead him to his end. It's a very short point & click/visual novel game with some extremely cute pixel art and animations. It might be too short in fact, I finished it in one sitting and I'm not sure if I'd even recommend getting it for the base 8.99$ price tag. For better or worse, I'm pretty sure you could get just about the same experience from watching someone else play it. Despite that, the good news however is that it's actually bigger than it looks at first glance, at the risk of slightly spoiling the surprise, after getting the True Ending, you unlock an Epilogue and Prologue with some decent amount of content in them. The story was sweet and left me wanting for more, and for that alone I can definitely recommend checking it out if you're a fan of ghost stories.

Well, since fox girls love breeding so much:

>>2389 Thanks, I looked a little bit on the theory of forms after you mentioned it and I could get the basic idea, I still need to read more on Plato and the other guys, remembered a IRL friend who is also interested in philosophy. I heard something similar in the mgtow bubble years ago (more specifically on the topic of "waifuism", have you heard about it?) What I could get regarding western and anime is that in a way what has been going on in the western media industry goal for de-sexualization and masculinization of female characters due to things that, of course, everybody here knows well. And with that in a way one could get a feeling that something isn't as it was before, the (mainstream) "muse" ideal that was the status quo not so long ago. A good example is Stellar Blade ( I will hold myself from calling it a "gooner game" after reading the latest posts), I won't judge the game's quality here but we can remember the rage cries from the gaming "journalists" to this title simply because it had a pretty, idealized (in the sense of the theory of forms again) woman as the main protagonist. Other example is Atomic Hearth, for two reasons that we all know. I think that this episodes show that at least here in the West there has been a huge lack of something that we had in the past and we desperately try to get back, at least this is what I could formulate from the idea, specially regarding the idea of femininity that seems so lacking today. (with that I imagine that we could also trace a parallel with the article that you've send (nice site btw), but in a more transcendental manner of course) >monastery Cool, recently I moved back to a city with a big catholic influence (even on the name of the city itself), and between my last post in this thread and now I have visited the city's main cathedral a couple of times, although there are at least a couple more churches in town that I am planning to visit too, I even live near one as I can hear their bells from inside my bedroom. As >>2395 said, the commitment for entering a monastery is big, I could only imagine it being a good place to disconnect from the modern world, I also wanted to visit one if there was a opportunity.

>>2395 >>2397 Do you remember how monasteries used to play a big role in caring for travellers and such? I don't know how it is in the Catholic world (I imagine it's still the case there), but in Eastern Orthodoxy it's still kind of like that. You can visit monasteries or stay at them for a bit if you give the monks a bit of a head's up first. Like a lot of things in the church, it's still around, and you can still participate in it even though it's mostly outside the modern consciousness. This description by Patrick Leigh Fermor of his stay at a Benedictine monastery matches pretty well what I've heard from others, even if his initial response was more extreme: >To begin with, I slept badly at night and fell asleep during the day, felt restless alone in my cell and depressed by the lack of alcohol, the disappearance of which had caused a sudden halt in the customary monsoon. The most remarkable preliminary symptoms were the variations of my need of sleep. After initial spells of insomnia, nightmare and falling asleep by day, I found that my capacity for sleep was becoming more and more remarkable: till the hours I slept in or on my bed vastly outnumbered the hours I spent awake; and my sleep was so profound that I might have been under the influence of some hypnotic drug. For two days, meals and the offices in the church - Mass, Vespers, and Compline - were almost my only lucid moments. >Then began an extraordinary transformation: this extreme lassitude dwindled to nothing; night shrank to five hours of light, dreamless and perfect sleep, followed by awakenings full of energy and limpid freshness. This explanation is simple enough: the desire for talk, movement and nervous expression that I had transported from Paris found, in this silent place, no response or foil, evoked no single echo; after miserably gesticulating for a while in a vacuum, it languished and finally died for lack of any stimulus or nourishment. Then the tremendous accumulation of tiredness, which must be the common property of all our contemporaries, broke loose and swamped everything. No demands, once I had emerged from that flood of sleep, were made upon my nervous energy: there were no automatic drains, such as conversation at meals, small talk, catching trains, or the hundred anxious trivialities that poison everyday life. Even the major causes of guilt and anxiety had slid away into some distant limbo and not only failed to emerge in the small hours as tormentors but appeared to have lost their dragonish validity. This new dispensation left nineteen hours a day of absolute and god-like freedom. Work became easier every moment; and, when I was not working, I was either exploring the Abbey and the neighbouring countryside, or reading. The Abbey became the reverse of a tomb - not, indeed, a Thelema or Nepenthe, but a silent university, a country house, a caslte hanging in mid-air beyond the reach of ordinary troubles and vexations. >... >If my first days in the Abbey had been a period of depression, the unwinding process, after I had left, was ten times worse. The Abbey was at first a graveyard; the outer world seemed afterwards, by contrast, an inferno of noise and vulgarity entirely populated by bounders and sluts and crooks. This state of mind, I saw, was, perhaps, as false as my first reactions to monastic life; but the admission did nothing to decreaese its unpleasantness. From the train which took me back to Paris, even the advertisements for Byrrh and Cizano seen from the window, usually such jubilant emblems of freedom and escape, had acquired the impact of personal insults. The process of adaptation - in reverse - had painfully to begin again.

I, for one, continue to be annoyed that the anon who used to collect kemono art and dump it in the /animu/ threads has spent the last year or more obsessing with AI slop models. I remember he had a huge collection of doujinshis and often ordered stuff from kemoket/comiket each year. Keeping up with his uploads was like a holiday. longsworduser on sadpanda, for anyone who wasn't around at the time Obviously Twitter became way more hostile to any alternative frontend efforts and disabled any loopholes that resulted in RSS feeds being manageable, but I feel like there's been a void of kemono art in my life that just hasn't been the same. Maybe I simply need to stop being a lazy faggot and set up Hydrus.

>>2502 That's up to him. At least it's pushed me to look around pixiv a little more for kemono art. Speaking of unfortunate changes, apparently shikki_2p has been a 3DPD vtuber for nearly a year now.
