How's that EDF treating you today /xsfg/
Shoot a bug for you old pal Anonymous
I hate how the thread sinks fast on weekends.

Marrying dolce and having pico along as a set feels really weird.
I forgot, can you actually interact physically with pico?
>>138250270
Nope. I tried giving her a gift on the rare occasion her sprite is actually out, and I just talked to her instead.
So I just finished Return to PopoloCrois today. Did anyone else play it?Liked the characters. Story was okay. I very much enjoyed how they handled the story, as it didn't treat the player like an idiot and avoided the worst tropes. Combat was boring. Dungeons were boring. Farming and gifting kept you quite busy, as you could sleep at any bed and everything would be ready for you again; I actually ended up ignoring the farm and ladies about halfway through simply because I wasn't making any progress.
>>138214770Not enough yuri momdom. NOT NEARLY ENOUGH.
>Much as Nancy loves Jones, something has been missing in her life, made only worse by their collective barren-ness
>Dolce shows up and that missing element suddenly awakens in Nancy, something deeper than adoptive motherhood; she's driven mad by her attraction to Dolce, moreso as she's courted by Lest
>Their marriage finally pushes Nancy over the edge and she makes her plans
>Pico, eternally caught in the throes of her lust for Dolce, agrees to help
>Playing the part of the caring mother-in-law while Lest is away, Nancy's secretly administering suggestive substances and commentary to Dolce, subtly drawing her bit by bit into Nancy's reign
>Nancy and Pico eventually move to hands-on influencing, showing Dolce just how *good* it feels to throw aside those pesky inhibitions and let her true self and passions run free
>Each session becomes more intimate, more reaching in its perversion, more maddeningly liberating and fulfilling for Nancy, Dolce and Pico alike
>Eventually they're all but completely devoted to each other, and all they need is one last touch to make the bond eternal
>Through some secretly-acquired Sechs medical tech, Nancy extracts her own genes and uses them to IVF impregnate Dolce; Lest and Jones are none the wiser
>Nancy, Dolce and Pico carry on with their lovemaking, growing ever bolder - and one day, finally stop caring about the facade
>Lest comes home that night to find Nancy and Pico double-teaming Dolce at the apex of her maternity, and the truth finally comes out
>He mentally dies on the spot, reduced to a soulless automaton that only farms and crafts and follows orders
>Jones becomes a bitter evil doctor whose deeds are recorded in innumerable lurid tales
>Nancy, Dolce, Pico and their child, and the several yet to come, abscond with Lest-bot and spend their days in passionate bliss living off the fruit of Lest-bot's labor
>>138250270
It's pretty cute considering her backstory, really.
And no, you have to use Dolce as a telephone to get your Pico fix.
>>138255293

It's Sunday. Thread is more prone to dying.

It's also 0'dark00 Murican time. Shoot, I'm going to bed.
Bump
>>138253051
That pic makes me think that Dolce's the one doing the lewdposting.
I just picked up EDF 4.1, it's my first EDF.
It's a bunch of fun, I'm like 15 missions in and I'm wondering if there's anything I should know before hopping online.
Just bought the Senran Kagura Burst on a whim and holy fuck does it run like shit. To those of you who don't have a N3DS without the clock speed hack, don't buy it otherwise the game's pretty decent.
>>138275206
Thankfully Deep Crimson is much better when it comes to framerate. I had to stop playing burst for that very reason.
>>138246861
Seriously, Kamil has to be the most boring character around. Half the time I forget he exist at all.
Weren't there any better bachelors from ToTT they could have brought back?
Don't die.
So instead lets have a discussion, what are the worst bachelors/bachelorettes in the Harvest Moon games?
not RF this time to limit the pool a bit
>>138285773
Isn't that what's called the 'magical girl' outfit in SoS? Such a cute outfit, but such a shit character.

>>138285463
The fact that you have to dig through 255 floors of the mine is just not worth it. Its fucking absurd.
>>138285934
What was so bad about her?havent played ANB
>>138287059
Weren't there a couple girls in DS that had preposterous requirements? I recall the Goddess and Witch Princess also being out there.She's a gold digger who doesn't give a shit about you beyond the things you can get her. As far as I know she doesn't even get better after marriage.
>>138288560She does get better though. She goes from
>what a beta fgt lol
to
>I guess I could learn to love him, too.
>>138285463jk. i love her to bits
>>138285463
For bachelors, Gourmet is absolute worst but I'd say there's also Kappa, literally all the AnWL options, Rick, Soseki, and Allen.
>>138288560
A lot of the older Harvest Moons tended to have marriage candidates with ridiculous requirements. For instance most of the reason why I think Gourmet is the worst is because he's some disgusting fat fish monster but also consider that you have to raise his LP the same way you do everyone else's but can only talk and give gifts to him literally one day the entire year and then factor in your 50+ years of courtship or whatever.Gourmet aside though, sometimes I do kinda miss the special candidates. They were fun sometimes to challenge even if they could get pretty ridiculous.
>>138285463
Is this something you've posted before?
>>138272337
Given how a lot of smutty fiction is thinly-veiled self-insertion fantasy, that's not an unusual connection to make (and puts quite an interesting bit of spin on said lewdposting).
>>138273374
The one thing I've heard is just that enemy health increases proportional to player count, but other than that things're identical.
>>138298206
Surprise hug attack!
>>138288560
Wow what a bitch.
But yeah Harvest Moon DS just had bunch of stuff that was like that (65000 floor mine! ) It could've been a worthy sequel to FoMT but stuff like that kept it form doing so. Plus the game was full of bugs that can straight up halt your progress and destroy your save file.
>reading some Japanese blog with whatever random person giving their impressions on all the different characters
>says nice things about everyone, how handsome or cute they are etc
>get to Fritz>calls him an annoying poorfag whose only good point is lowering the difficulty of festivals he participates in
The American and Japanese fandoms must be more similar than I thought.
Also he said he played as the male protagonist but Minori was the true cutest waifu.
No dying on sunday this time I hope.
>>138300645
I firmly believe that Fritz isn't as stupid as he acts and he uses it to get free shit from people
>>138300645
>minori
>true cutest waifu
Patrician taste.Too bad she's a can't have.
>>138305743
Fritz is a crafty fucker, but your character always follows his whims, even though you've seen through his bullshit.

One day VR technology may make that dream come true, anon.

Well, there's also hope that maybe the afterlife is some kind of free-spirited utopia, not unlike some kind of fantasy anime.

Death is eternal oblivion, anon.
Never felt or be aware of anything before living. I'll assume the same when I die.
I do hope that, in the future, you can transfer your consciousness to a biocybernetic brain via interspinal/intercranial connection, or be injected and implanted with healer/nourishment nanomachines that would essentially make one near-immortal. Think of all the vidya you'll play if you have all the time of the world.
>>138312679
London?
>>138313360It's possible that there could be some kind of survival after death, like if some kind of dualism is the case. David Staume even speculates that in "The Atheist Afterlife." But then again, there may be no afterlife after all, but at least we won't know there isn't one if that's the case.
Either way, VR or afterlife is the only way we may get to experience RF or HM IRL.
