    But there's actually a lot of beautiful ladies in the Journey to the West setting even outside of monkey game;

    Yaochi/Queen Mother of the West/Empress of Heaven (sometimes one person, sometimes multiple)
    Seven Fairies of the Peach Garden
    Chang E and Jade Bunnygirl on the Moon
    Jiutian Xuannv

    ... lots more, but it's like, Erlang's hot milf mom who's also the Jade Emperor's imouto, that kind of side character lmao

    The thing is about etymology, you know, "clone" is from plant off-shooting, "doppelganger" is double gang like spit roasting in bed, while "分身" is literally body splitting,

    So anyway, a monkey's butt hair

    Back during monkey king times, they didn't have toilet paper, instead, they used pieces of bamboo and scrape it off
    d.fish
    It's because one of the first lines in the game, in the intro, is about how all the monkeys are dead, so all the monkeys that come after have to be clones, or other beings in disguise, right?

    Yeah if you're talking about in the opening, Wukong says something (paraphrasing) like "I could understand all the other things you did, but KILLING MY KIN PISSES ME OFF" basically. In English, he doesn't say every single monkey is dead, just that the monkeys HAVE been dying

    In Chinese there was an implication but no explicit wording of this; he said they killed all his monkey children and monkey grandchildren, basically, and this is how he addresses all the other monkeys on his mountain under his rule in the original novel

    It feels like story based games are ruined if I look at their endings, but I can't help but look at the endings of these games

    But it's like, once I look at the ending and know that I can get a harem ending if I do steps 1 to 9999, I'm like, that's fucking too much work fuck

    I 100% used walkthroughs to make sure I didn't miss any hidden content in Black Myth Wukong once I found out there was content you could lock yourself out of in pretty much every chapter from 2 on. But I didn't read too far ahead, so the endings were still special to me

    I feel that's still fine, cuz it's just an action game, you know, but with turn based story driven games where you collect party members like fire emblem but instead of coupling them you pair them all with your player insert harem... it gets ruined not by the ending but by the time sink required by harem end idk lol
    d.fish
    d.fish
    it just

    you know

    ending doesn't warrant such time cost, but

    like you're there for the harem antics/interactions, but when you only see the result, idk feel deflated

    Sword cultivators in wuxia and xianxia are pretty lewd, because "flying swords" or dancing swords as they are more often known as in fantasy are summoned with the phrase "剑来", "sword come"

    swords are already lewd dicks, but now you want them to come, it's like

    Why is it that romance in video games often takes like multiple stages and shit, when I just want instant satisfaction damn it

    I was gonna get into this sailing game with age of exploration themes but international instead of caribbean, but the second picture is a shot of the inventory management and I freaked out like holy shit

    inventory management with dozens/hundreds of items is the worsttt

    o nvm I found the monkey stick makers

    they just arent my usual gotos for swords like anduril or elden ring moon sword or master sword
    d.fish
    There's a lot of these cosplay weapon makers that make realistic material weapons out of video games on taobao and there's a lot of dark souls and elden ring weapons they make, but there's no monkey sticks for some reason :(

    I accidentally called Stardew Valley a Terraria, and a kid called me grandma, and I guess this is another indication that I'm old, like back in the 90's when old people called every game a Nintendog

    I got really into these deep fake videos where they turned monkey game characters into real life people who were being interviewed and had them dubbed over it looks so jank but so hilarious at the same time

    Also, it feels like red boi never got a positive representation, like in every journey to the west adaptation, he's always a little shit lmao

    then again, he was one in the novel

    I've put off reading Maidenless till this weekend as I just beat Elden Ring. Loved the story and oh boy did I need me some Melina after playing the game. Posting here to avoid a necro. Thanks again for a great story.

    Which ending did you get? I was so depressed with the default "become a buddha and return to reincarnation" ending, like infinite suffering lmao

    had to look up how to jump out of samsara on some obscure douyin video lol

    Got the true ending with no crown lol. Honestly couldn't have beaten the Final Boss without the secret boss' spear anyways. Final Boss was giving me so much trouble until I went and got the spear, then I changed to a Perfect Dodge/Counter Thrust build and took it down in 5 tries.

    I was reading monkey game's monkey dev's monkey essay from 2007, about how he hates how the game industry is becoming more and more p2w and gacha-shit, and he wrote another essay in 2023 about how he justified his own previous games' gambling aspects and addiction inducing because he needed the money to make monkey game

    lmao

    feels like endings saying something about game dev journey
    hey, I was rereading game of thrones story - Playing The Game, just as good as I remember, but where has the nude character pic of the Goddess Meraxes gone. It was there when i read the story originally.

    No clue, haven't been in that story thread in years lmao.

    If it's a broken image/link, might be because it was originally hosted to Imgur before they wiped all NSFW content from their website.

    I'm sure this scene happened a couple times already in different shows, but the scene where a guy just goes up to everyone who talks back to them and slaps each one back to back, like in english shows, chinese shows, indian shows

    just, you know, slap!

    "You--"

    slap!

    "Hey--"

    slap!

    "I--"

    slap!

    lmao so fun
