Paddy, let's just agree to disagree, since I feel we won't get anywhere. To quote Nietzsche a final time: "What should I have to give thee! Let me rather hurry hence lest I take aught away from thee!" :) Radien, as far as "planning" goes, I think we may be arguing semantics. Your...

Radien, well, I agree she has problems with social interaction, and that's exactly why I think it would be strange for her to just even show her body like that, nevermind have sex on the spur of the moment. I think people like that would need a few days or at least hours to gather the courage to do ...

Xerxes and Geltastic, thanks for your story. For both of you, I hope all the best. Xerxes, I'm also quite "lazy", in that I relied more on my talent than on studying, which isn't a good idea. It's probably too late for us, but I'd say that if you're a high school student who finds school e...

I recently tried to match the 5 stories with the 5 "mental poisons" , that is, unskillfull attitudes that cause us to suffer. In each of the five routes, the main cause of suffering is then one of those 5 poisons. This is what I came up with, some minor spoilers ahead: Hanako: Pride. Hisao...

Paddy, I don't consider it credible that Hanako didn't know that sex would follow if she did that. In our day and age, in Japan, or in the western world, if a person takes another person to a private bedroom, closes doors and windows and takes most of their clothes off, then that's a plain non-verba...

Pay, I was and am mostly formulating my own interpretation of the game. Which says more about me, I guess. As for confusion, I think that happens when you have different conflictiong feelings and ideas you can't sort out. Hisao seemed confused indeed about why Hanako wanted to have sex with him. He ...

True, Daitengu, life is change! And the broken heart, like broken bones, gets stronger when it heals. Go ride on the waves of life with that new strength!

Well, after thiking a bit, I will agree that I did exaggerate Hanako's virtues and Hisao's vices in my theory. This is though, because I felt that in this thread and elswhere she is serously being underestimated and misunderstood. Misunderestimated even? ;) Mirorrm, I can even almost agree with what...

Splendidclaw, thanks for your story. Iy's commendable to be so level headed and plan out your life. Even when you have a job and a family you'll be able to spend some time on your hobbies like gaming, etc. Just that you'll have to be more selective since you'll have less time to indulge in them. Yes...

Paddy, I could probably debate you almost endlessly since I disagree with you all the way, however, I will try to avoid doing that here too much since it's not the right place. I'll just adress two things I noticed about you in general. First of all, I noticed that you seem "stuck" in your...

Althamus and Wanderingheartache, thank you for your stories. Both of you don't worry about staying pseudonymous, I think that's also what this thread is for. I always consider the name you give yourself to be more meaningful than the one on your driver's license, since that is the name you gave your...

Micechaseskittens, that's a lot better photo, indeed. The feeling that goes with it seems much better too!

Well ,yes, the first distopia you mention will almost certainly happen as a phase of a few decades to a few hundred years before it is resolved. What will end it though is the march of technology: once androids become cheap enough to produce, everyone will have them, and in the end, the base of the ...

Well, I think exponential growth will not continue. As I see it, technology advances in spurts, to then level off and even regress a bit again, before the next spurt. This is because technology is invented by people and the social conditions need to be of the right kind to allow technological progre...

We could help others but not help ourselves I guess because it's a lot easier to give advice than take it. I can say "Work harder, be more considerate and be more diligent" and if pretty much anyone on the forum followed the advice they'd be in a better situation than they are at the mome...
