i made a video about the time the staff from KEY, before they were KEY and made Clannad, made a game about crazed sex cults, mom complexes, and psychic powers. it is quite a ride as you can imagine, and also not very good

So like, it's obvious to me reading the comments on my post that anti-porn people are largely like, afraid of porn. Like the concept of a sex video is really spooky to them. They're not making thoughtful critiques of the porn industry, which is genuinely a really fucked up industry, they're mostly just spooked by the concept of a sex video and what it could Do To You If You See It.

I said this in another post, but it's like, the difference between "a ton of coffee is produced using slave labor" (valid, important criticism of the coffee industry) and "coffee turns people into raving coffee addicts who forget how to interact with anyone because they're so obsessed with their coffee" (objectively not true, insane viewpoint).

It's literally just sex videos. They really cannot hurt you.

I first saw your video on Sex 2 and watched some of your other videos. For some reason my brain does things and two things I wanted to ask. One: Is there such a thing as an anti-eroge? I know most of the games you cover are in that genre but I was wondering if there is a game that is an eroge but one in which the sexual content is less for the pleasure of the viewer but instead the opposite. Two: You mentioned Touhou, what your opinions on it as a whole?

1: this is like half of what I cover, but Suisenka is an extremely explicit example 2: i like girls with hats that go pew pew

Hey,

Do you still compose scores for video games?

No, currently this is NOT a serious business enquiry at all lol. Right now, I am broke af and have 0.5% of my indie VN done.

I am curious about the pricing, though. Not as “can I pay that now” (I can’t) but as “can I pay that literally ever” (assuming that I manage to finish the VN, which I hope I do!)

Aside the obvious “more music” = ”more money”, what else is the cost based on? Can you give me any approximates for anything?

(no, I am not holding a grudge against you for ignoring me tagging you under my Manakashi fanart LMAO. And, right now, I draw better anyway)

Helloooo!! I do actually, in fact I have some projects in the works right now! My pricing is typically around USD$120 per finished minute of music, but I try to be flexible if people need it. The cost is pretty stable regardless of what kind of music is requested, and I've only ever increased it when working with small businesses with funding rather than individuals or groups.

(I'm bad at this website and generally don't see things I'm tagged in unless people send them as asks, gomennasai)

Remember: It's culturally insensitive to call people from certain parts of the US "yankees", this goes back to their alignment during the civil war. for a more inclusive approach you can try language like "confederate" (location sensitive) or "gringo" (most inclusive)

Oh hey Bluesky's doing anprim discourse. I really did think that was just a tumblr thing at this point.

i cannot keep quiet about this anymore.

if you're in the US or Canada and interested in learning a language using a free app please get a library card and download MANGO. it's very good and extremely free with a library card (there are many public libraries and universities using the service, so make an account and use the search feature here to find out if there's one near you).

mango currently has 72 available languages and dialects (that's right! different courses for french or canadian french! spanish or latam spanish!). it's set up basically like an audiobook with text. the idea is that the narrator explains the words while you read, and you repeat after them or say the translation out loud when prompted. there's a daily review where you go through flashcards. you can also use the flashcards at your leisure and create your own. at the end of each chapter there's a listening comprehension quiz and a reading comprehension quiz. i cannot emphasize how effective this all is. and it's free with a card.

if you're not in the US or Canada and/or looking for something more like duolingo (don't use duolingo btw tldr they fired translators and replaced them with "ai"), then try BUSUU! it only has 14 languages atm but the lessons are really descriptive and effective. it also has a feature where you can correct other people's open-ended speaking/typing exercises. you set your fluent languages, and exercises by people learning those languages will appear in your feed for you to correct. you can even add others as friends! and, much like duolingo, it has a streak and leaderboard system for you to strive for, minus the guilt-tripping owl.

busuu is free (you watch ads to unlock lessons and they're all skippable after like five seconds), although it also has paid premium/plus versions (i don't use the paid version—the language courses are available for free, and the ad system is Really unobtrusive).

so that's my wisdom for the day. mango and busuu. please check them out :)
