Let's Play Love Revo - Because We Need More Brother Lovin' Up in Hurr

Thank you. I love Lacy. Wick is so weird sometimes, and she just takes it (mostly) in stride. Wick should just forget about Mitzi (whom I adore, but baggage) and get together with her.

Or give her a raise, that works too.

...forgive the rambling, I'm not quite awake yet.

Just my two cents, but my guess would be that while things like BDSM and the like have fairly large, happily consensual followings, the majority of incest is rape. Maybe not all of it, but a lot, and that's something that makes it kind of a touchy subject.

The majority of reported incest is sexual abuse, because if someone was secretly involved in consensual incest, would they start shouting it out to everyone? No, because then the person they love would be ostracized/arrested/stoned by everyone around them, vice versa, or both. The results are skewed because of this... Rape is never condoned by anyone, but incest and rape can be different things. I agree that there can be an abuse of authority, but there's a lot of (I wouldn't call it this, but) relationships where one person is clearly abusing their power to subjugate the other in real life.

I agree that the fact that most incest shown in the media is rape and abuse has created prejudice in mainstream beliefs.

Sorry for sounding defensive, but I'm a fan of letting people love whomever they want as long as it's consensual and no one's getting hurt/abused. I'm also a fan of keeping it on the down-low (I don't care as long as you don't share).

This is a result of my imagination, sleep deprivation, and R+18 otome games. Thank you Japan. \(^ o ^)/ Sometimes I feel that I don't have a creepmeter limit anymore. And then I look at Amanohashi and Shuu...

I can't particularly imagine that there are a lot of cases of consensual incest regardless, but I do apologize for making an assumption.

Sorry, I'm really not interested in getting in a debate about this, because it hits extremely close to home for reasons I'm not going to go spewing around on the internet but you can probably guess solely from me saying that.

I'm sorry to hear that...

Yeah, I'm not interested in arguing this either, but I just wanted to present another side, unpopular as it is.

Let's talk about something else, such as the fact that there are too many otome games/games in general and I only have 24 hours each day. I'm caught between whether to play Ib (Crys Play made me want to play it because...Garry!!!!) or continue Joker no Kuni or finish up Clover no Kuni or re-do Heart no Kuni. So many choices > _< Anyone know what I should play next? I've wanted to replay Tokimeki 1st Love Plus with the English patch because...it's in English and I can understand it more, but that would cut back on the fact that I have to do 200x10 or so characters = 2,000 turns x 3 games = 6,000 turns = at least a month. And I have papers due soon...

Let's Play forum, why do you distract me with your lovableness when I'm soon to be shot for procrastination? You make me have so many feels.

I have the same problem but with harvest moon

which is why my lp is taking forever.
too many moons to harvest
so little time

Personally, I think that any love between two consensual adults is fine.
But I still think incest is icky, and on top of that, Onii-chan is just annoying and way too obsessed with his sister. Even if they weren't related, I'd be like, "Yeah, no."
...I was gonna say more on this, but then someone mentioned Professor Layton.

Oh, how easily I get lost in those eyes...

Tale of two towns is making upgrading stuff impossible. ONE MILLION GOLD FOR THE HOUSE EXPANSION?! Aughhh tell me this before I accept the request *kills herself trying to gather all of the materials and making money*

My issue is interesting things in my LP are few and far between. Also it's a pain to screenshot.

it took a long time to get to the incest conversation in the WE NEED MORE BROTHER LOVIN thread
i was summoned here by discussion about harvest moon because HARVEST MOON <3

ToTT is an abomination of a game. I like it, but the fucking requests ffffffffffff oh my god
"i want this insect from like three seasons ago" "WHY" " :D "

I havent had a big problem with money
i mean you can buy rice for like 150 and make it into Rice Porridge and sell that for like 230
i just spend literally all of my money on rice
then like 10 minutes later
i have mad profit
no regrets

.

I barely ever even complete requests. It's gotten to a point where it's just ridiculous to expect me to have these items I can't even unlock yet Bl And then there's the ones that ask for some really expensive to make items and your only reward is jam. ;~; But I still play because I HAVE TO GET ALL OF THE UPGRADES.

i hate that i like hiro the most
and he is basically the shota route
i can't fucking go after the doctor
without being a creep it makes me so MAD
i just see him like i see fix-it felix and that makes it kinda better

Thats kinda why I went after Kana
He was the only one who looked older than 12 :I
plus i didnt have to impress any punk ass kid sister or the like

I went for Cam. I wasn't feeling any of the other bachelors. I wasn't influenced by a fic I read or anything, why are you looking at me like that? The only reason I've made it this far into the game is because of the Alpacas. I have an army of 7 and with their help I'll make so much money I won't even need to grow crops!

KANA IS A HORSE FURRY i'm sorry i'm not sorry

The first two dudes you unlock in the new Harvest Moon are jerks. One's a tsundere so he's not too bad and he gets better, but the other guy (Allen, a hair stylist) seems emotionally abusive to me. :/ Which... I'm all for diversity in the bachelors and all and I recognize that it's fiction, but considering the target audience for these games it's a little disturbing.

I got bored with ToTT right away, so I can't contribute much to that conversation. U:

oh my god his dialogue
oh my god
this is a game for the YOUNG PEOPLE

OBV. THIS IS THE GUY I WANNA GROW UP TO REALLY DATE natsume, marvelous, you guys need to cut that shit out.

that said, is the new HM worth it or is the customization all that's it's got going for it?

That's...no. That is not okay. I'm usually fine with tsunderes but what even is this I don't even...I think I'll either go for Neil or I'll just remarry Amir Amir, baby, long time no see! Mind if I crash with you?. This pushes my berserk buttons so I'll stay away from Allen.

I know, he's a completely controlling jackass. :/ Every time I activate a heart event of his I get pissed off because he drags me away from my work to wherever the hell he feels like going and expects me to be grateful for it. I've basically decided to boycott the hair salon so I don't have to see him. (Unfortunately, he still shows up at festivals to remind me I'm going to be upset when my cow dies because I care about it. Thanks, Allen.)

If he were harder to unlock I wouldn't mind as much, but he's literally the second guy you get and you have to get the salon in order to progress with the plot at all. So you're stuck with a tsundere (who isn't so bad, like I said, but he's still kind of rude sometimes) and this guy until you can unlock the first genuinely nice bachelor.

Neil is really nice once he warms up to you, and he's a pretty sweet boyfriend from the dialogue I saw. I'm waiting for Amir's butler to show up, but Amir and Sanjay can't get unlocked until Fall of Year 2 at the earliest...

I want to get the game (and a 3DS) just so i can give him weeds every day.

Yay~ At least my judgment in guys is still pretty good :D and oh...that's a long wait...well. It's not so bad I can spruce up my farm, make some cash, put Allen's salon as far away from my farm as possible~

Ooh, I should banish Allen's house/salon to the completely empty area I just unlocked! And give him poison mushrooms every day, because it looks like he actually doesn't mind weeds for some reason... I'd make pot stickers for him because he despises those, but I'm not wasting precious ingredients on him.

You can technically unlock Amir and Sanjay earlier than that, but you have to get yam seeds as a prize in the Summer harvest festival (or maybe the Spring one?) and then plant/sell 30 yams and 30 potatoes ASAP. And save up everything you need for the other renovation plans along the way. It's kind of a pain...

Honestly, after dedicating myself to running from bluebell to konohana twice a day to water crops so I could get the 1milG I needed to have a kid, nothing can be more bothersome. Do we still have the option of watering crops twice a day?

Yep, 10 hours after you water them for the first time you can water them again. Just make sure to be in bed before 11 PM (or make sure to eat food), because otherwise your health will be depleted and it'll cost you more stamina to do things!

Whoops, I missed this, sorry!

I think it depends, really. The customization of your farmer is fun, but it's ruined for me because I have a farmer with brown skin marrying a bachelor with brown skin and their baby is going to be white. :/ I don't know why they couldn't at least change hair/skin colour for Amir and Sanjay's babies, but they didn't.

The customization of the town is actually annoying to me because I have a hard time placing buildings on the map. I can't zoom out far enough to be able to easily place them down, and you need an upgraded axe to cut down all the trees that will inevitably be in your way. The town renovations are a huge pain to me because you basically need to hoard everything except non-bee insects, otherwise you get stuck waiting seasons in order to finish one last step. Fortunately, they give you a lot of storage space, but it's still annoying to have to keep everything (even weeds and branches and rocks!) "just in case".

If you plan ahead and know what you're doing it's more fun, I think? But it has the potential to get irritating if you mess up a step and have to wait three or more seasons in order to finish one thing. I'm having more fun right now than I normally do with handheld HM games, but since I have to wait until Fall of Year 2 before my chosen bachelor can show up, I'm not sure how long that will last. A lot of people have been having tons of fun with it and they're years in, though. There's definitely a decent amount of stuff to do.

Yeah but he's my horse furry

Darn. I actually dislike that feature :\ Well, as long as I don't have to run back and forth between two farms all should be well. I'm hoping they didn't bring back IoH's fullness bar because that would infinitely suck.

I LIKE Tsunderes and a lot of that dialogue is completely not anything close to a turn on. Teasing or being cold/stand offish is one thing, a lot of that HM dialogue sounds like an abusive relationship to me. Weird.

That's because it is an abusive relationship.
"Your stuff is my stuff. My stuff is my stuff. I own you."

yeah fuck that guy

It's completely out of left field and I don't like it at all. I go for the cold/tsundere guys or as close as I can get in nearly all of the HM games but Allen is my nope. I'll be sure to explain to my cousins why they should not go for him before I let them borrow my copy, that's for sure.

Yeah, I feel like giving Allen his most hated gifts.
or i would,if the game was even confirmed for europe
which it's not.
*gross sobbing in the corner.*

If there's no freshness meter then it will be a lot easier to hoard. I like to hoard things though so it works out great for me~

Late to the party, but I always figured he was just teasing the MC. But at this point he's my only real choice. (Rod annoys me, Neil and I share a birthday, Soseki constantly brings up age and eats old coins, I already married Amir in GrB, and his butler Sanjay reminds me of Agni from Black Butler.)

Wat.
...I actually kind of like the old man, from what I've read about him. When I get the game, I might pursue him.
But I suppose Allen isn't too bad. He apparently improves after a while.

i can't bring myself to buy a 3DS
especially an american one
when i know that it's region-lockedddd
help help help HELP HELP HELP

That fullness bar was the bane of my existence in that game. I actually enjoyed IoH, but I hated having to eat things that I could have shipped for money.

That hunger bar (among other things) is the reason why I sold IoH. Eventually got SI, thinking they'd fixed a lot. And they fixed SOME of my greatest issues (I CAN MORE WITH THE D-PAD YEAHHHH), but those bars were still there.

Just teasing... is he just teasing when he tells the MC she'll be sad when her cow dies because she cares about it (he actually says "...When that cow dies, you're going to cry a lot")? I don't know, I have an extremely hard time saying that's "just teasing". If a person told me any of the things Allen said in real life and acted like him I'd probably call them a jerk and avoid them whenever possible.

If the MC actually got a chance to tease back or stand up for herself, I might feel differently. But the correct responses are to roll over and let Allen do whatever he wants, and I really don't like that. It doesn't feel like an equal relationship at all to me. I will admit, however, that Allen reminds me of my father a bit (ironically, considering Allen's daddy issues) and that could be affecting my perception of him and his attitude/comments a little. Also, if he were in a different game (aimed at adults/older teens or something) I wouldn't even care as much, but I don't like him being in what is basically a kids' game.

You don't actually have to eat much in the new game! Only on stormy days and if you stay up really late (or if you want to recover stamina and don't have the doctor yet). I've only eaten once, and that's only because stamina gets used up 3x faster or something during a storm and I didn't want my farmer to pass out. I usually just keep a few fish that only ship for 20g around to fry up whenever I need food.

I finally caught up on this thread~ ... So everyone's getting a flood of likes.

I was angrier at the crops than the fullness bar. I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to grow crops outside of the greenhouse. It was just terrible why would they make such a system gdi harvest moon why
