Letter thread

Hey y'all - it's time for another letter thread! J and Anna are welcome.

I promised earlier to divulge upon you the name of my favorite vidcon, but I have a treat: not only will I give you the name, but I will give you a tantalizing summary to entice you to try it (though you will no doubt need to brush up on your kanji before playing, as the vidcon's subtle yet flavorful use of Japanese idiosyncrasies can only be grasped in their entirety by those with a sound mastery of Japanese). The vidcon, as many of you may have guessed, is the absolutely stunning RPG/dating sim Angelique: Tenkuu no Chikonka, one of the first games to pioneer the moe aesthetic. It flawlessly merges a powerful and compelling RPG story and system with an incredibly advanced and realistic dating sim that has sixteen (that's right, SIXTEEN) datable characters. Though it is not generally my nature to develop crushes, I must admit to feeling the palpatations of love's caress once or twice while dating, as the characters are very beautifully drawn in the anime style. Add absolutely enchanting music with incredibly lush and colorful graphics and you've got the perfect recipe for the best game ever made.

It should be no surprise to my more-informed viewers that the topic of my discussions would eventually fall to the well-established artform of eroge (known to laymen as "hentai vidcons", though this is a false moniker as the vidcons deal with far more than mere hentai). Much-beloved in the East, these games are sadly, and one might even say expectedly, decried in the West as bastions of perversion and pedophilia for portraying extremely young girls in erotic situations. A person who looks at pictures of fictional little girls isn't necessarily sexually attracted to them. What if (s)he finds them cute? Despite the obvious flaws in the anti-eroge constituency, they continue to claim that eroge are sad, cartoon versions of sex for manchildren that promote rape, pedophilia, and abuse towards women. The logic used seems quite silly, because then people who enjoy killing or raping in games would be classified as murderers/rapists in real life. Come on. It's a fantasy, it's inside your head. Get educated. I recommend either Kana Little Sister, Rape Academy 2, or Crescendo to start with.

There is, perhaps, only one medium of art that matches the excellence of vidcons and that is (obviously) visual kei. Combining absolutely exquisite j-rock and j-pop, sprinkled with minute hints of vidcon melodies, with the pyrotechnic visual flare that the Japanese are known for, visual kei takes its viewers on a rollercoaster ride of lights, fanfare, and music that even Beethoven could tap his toes to. Would that I were Japanese, (though under careful scrutiny, it appears my geneology tree does in fact show signs of a Japanese presence) I too would participate in this art of the 21st century and even perhaps venture onto the visual kei stage myself. It is no surprise that the impotent minds of Western society cannot fully grasp the total splendor of visual kei and instead choose to squandor their time listening to rap and country "music".

The vidcon Manifesto by Pump
1. All vidcons must be released alongside a minimum of FOUR limited edition wall scroll.s The wall scrolls will feature pictures of characters from the vidcon in the anime style. The only exceptions to this rule are sports games, which will not be released with any wall scrolls (as there is enough sports memorabilia to last its ignorant fans for a lifetime).
2. Only one vidcon per sport can be released a year. For example, there can only be one basketball vidcon, one football vidcon, one baseball vidcon, etc.
3. All vidcons with English voice acting must make Japanese voice acting optional. Furthermore, they must allow for subtitles. "Subs not dubs."
4. All RPGs must strictly adhere to the moe aesthetic (this may anger some Western RPG vidconners, but I barely consider them vidconners at all.)
5. All vidcons must have a minimum of three beautifully crafted anime cutscenes.
6. All vidcons must be released alongside its full, feature-length soundtrack. In order to avoid confusion, the soundtrack MUST be called GAMENAME OST (for example Ar Tonelico: Melody of Elernia OST). It may not have any subtitles (for example Ar Tonelico: Melody of Elrnia Rhapsody of Music Soundtrack). This rule does NOT apply to arranged soundtracks.

Ahhh, console video games (or vidcons as I call them), the ultimate medium of expression, able to convey any emotion ranging from hatred to love, loyalty to fear, all in front of our eyes. Oh, and with lovingly crafted art, music, and the ability to control the action, vidcons are the ultimate combination of the high arts. While I tend to play the stoic, I will be the first to admit that vidcons have driven me to cry, to scream and shout, to feel actual hate; such is the power of this force beyond our wildest reckoning. And here I am, before you, to tempt your tongues with the taint of such a tantalizing topic. And the Japanese, the true geniuses behind the world of video games. Pah, I throw my scorn upon such incompetents of the West who would mock the true art of the Japanese with 'games' such as Baldur's Gate and Madden. Perhaps it is that the West is not as intelligent as the East, but this is a matter for another day. Japan has given us such masterpieces as the Final Fantasy series, Star Ocean, Wild Arms, and of course, Arc the Lad. Yes, some of the finest vidcons in the world were created by Japanese. I come to you today to ask you in all earnesty, what is your favorite vidcon? I will reveal mine after the grand debate has illustriously begun, but not before the first poster falls victim to my plot of discussion.

It should be no surprise to anyone with a passing familiarity with vidcons that pocky is the ideal food to snack on when playing mentioned object (although 'playing' is an inappropriate word, because you experience, rather than play, a vidcon; I shall use 'playing' for the sake of simplicity). For those ignorant to the intricacies of this fine Japanese cuisine, imagine a delicate stick of sweetened bread about the width and length of a chopstick, its tip coated in the richest chocolate imaginable. The bold flavor of the chocolate is complimented by the small nuts that caress the tip, creating a culinary juxtaposition of sweetness and saltiness that can only have been hatched in the mind of a chef versed in the subtle paradoxes of Eastern cooking. They are light and easy to eat and hold, useful for vidconning on the go, and their sugar content add that extra boost for late night vidcons. Therefore, pocky has garnered itself the precious title of "Ultimate Vidcon Snack". Perhaps the only drawback of pocky is its limited availability in the West, though this cannot really be attributed to the snack itself, but the infuriating baboons that think they are running grocery stores.

In the course of my carfeer as a vidcon specialist (my own coinage, spend it wisely), I have never seen such blatant and frankly, sickening ignorance as that exhibited by the "people" (if, in fact, they are homo sapiens at all, as their intelligence implies elsewise) that claim that Zelda is not an RPG. There is nothing that Shigeru "Shiggy" Miyamoto could possibly do to make the vidcon any more of an RPG as it meets every single criterion for being one, particularly that it takes place in an imaginary realm with a fantastical beastiary, the damsel/villain ratio is at or above standards, and that the core emphasis of the gameplay is on bedazzling all foes with impeccable swords and sorcery. Furthermore, this line of thought can be extended to all vidcons in which the player controls a character (hence, roleplaying), though I cringe slightly at the thought of such mundance vidcons as Madden being RPGs, as they do not even include exotic weaponry such as, well, the tonfa.

I'm sad because it's not about sex. I just love you so much and you don't even like me. It hurts, don't you understand?

I still think about you daily V.

Why? What do you think about?

If I would say it. It wouldn't be a surprise anymore.

ganer girl club: an imaginary harem group of women that will attend an institution and play videogames and discuss each one every week but you, a guy, are expecting a room full of sweaty neckbeards but find a group of shy, beautiful women with a shared love of gaming whose world flips upside down at the arrival of the protagonist. thats where you come in.
who will you speak to? the mysteries of the gamer girl club unfold in new and interrsting ways as the protagonist gets to find out the quirks and interesting hobbies and variations of taste that each girl has, and even some personal slice of life and upsetting trauma. but as the only guy in the club, things might get a little heated between girls, if you arent able to handle it properly!
just need 5000 to get this project underway

I always forget that you know best

just go back. you know you need reddit. head back.

I never thought I'd see blatant trolling as I have in this forum. Step away from the computer, drop the ham sandwich, and back the FRACK off gaijin. I hate to use that word but you've made me that serious. As hard as it may be for you to fathom, some of us here are actual fans of the Final Fantasy series (pre FFX) and Square's work in general. You can try to bash me for an avatar I bought because I happen to be a dedicated fan of perhaps the most poignant, painstakingly woven tapestry of love, loss, and vengeance ever to be put from pen to paper, but you would fail, like all you flamers do in real life. Who can say that the minds at Square Enix (note: the appropriate portmanteau is SQUENIX, not the laughable SQUEENIX) were not inspired by the works of William Shakespeare or Chuck Palahniuk? Cloud's Bastard Sword has more akin with the bastard sons of Macbeth than it does any armament or basilard of the time. The Honey Bee Club in Midgar reminds me more of the Fight Clubs than any brothel. So please, use your brains, not your sarcasm, and step up to the intellectual plate, or leave this forum and take your "haterade" with you

I used to love FF as a kid but I moved onto more mature games like Shin Megami Tensei.

Target,

I tried out 3 of your store brand jeans today because they were all on the clearance rack and I'm a poorfag. Slipped on some light blue dad type jeans, but I'm still too fat (38") to pull those off, and I don't think slim goes well with a light wash. I then tried your slim straight, but only found out in the fitting room that they were "distressed". I hate that stupid cut up look. Looks ok on women but not me. Then I tried your regular dark wash straight. Those looked great! I was going to buy those. But I looked at the prices on all 3, and the distressed pair was $9, while the other two were $14. But it looked like the price tag was just slipped in on one of the loops. So in the fitting room, I swapped out the price tag on the cheap ones and the ones I wanted. Took them to self check out, paid, and left. The receipt showed I just bought target jeans, no distinct type, on clearance. I hope I didn't make you mad Target senpai. I buy a lot of stuff there, and I still bought something. Maybe you can go easy on me?

You made a nice effort to make threads that I used to post in, but I'm not biting the bait. Fuck you.

PLOT TWIST: turns out the game is actually real life and the gamer girls are mass murdering millions of innocent people at the behest of a mysterious extradimensional entity
What happens when you find out?
Do some of them already know?
Could you still love them if you knew that they knew?

Dear kathy.

have another good evening today.
you deserve it

PLOT TWIST TWIST: the girl that you indicate the most interest in always ends up killing you family as a part of her mission
do you cheat on her, and incur her wrath, or do you stay loyal in spite of what she's done?

Dear B.G.

Fuck you stupid whore.

Dear Jow Forums

I am still hungry, around this time I am always hungry. Today for breakfast I had some beef jerky and for lunch I had salmon and steamed rice. The recipe for the salmon has parsley in it though the first time I made it I didn't have any so I didn't use it. This time I did use it, and honestly I couldn't taste a huge difference but it felt cool. My portion of rice was only a wee portion, so when I went to get my pumps I was weak and tired. I am certain that is the reason. After I go to the gym I like to go and feed cheese to the stray cats around my apartment, other people give them normal food so I like to give more treat type things. The kittens are pretty cute, I think they are about 7 weeks old now. Some of them are starting to lose their blue eyes. I miss my grandma, I think I might mail her something soon like some flowers.

Don't die on me when I'm still writing my letter

K,

I obviously made a mistake in telling you I had feelings for a brief moment before you killed them with your obnoxious behaviour. This, I shouldn't tell you. I hope I've got the self control to avoid saying this in real life.

I have desire for you, but it's sexual, aromantic. We could fuck, but I couldn't pledge myself to you. And I know it would kill you. So I guess we can't have sex or even kiss. I'm sorry.

Will you talk to me, please?

How about you talk to me for once? I hate chasing.

n, you're an attention whore with nothing going for you except your sex appeal and you chose a crazy idiot over me. like i knew it wasn't going to be that serious but like honestly, a week and you're in love with him? on the one hand, i know i dodged a bullet, but you could have said something. done w/ you bitch

r, i'm mad at you for banging my friend after we broke up, but i'm a hypocrite cuz i banged his ex even before that happened and never told you. so uh. i'm an asshole but so are you.

I want to talk to you in private, can you throw me a bone please.

>wants to talk in private to someone specific, presumably
>posts vaguely on user in a public internet forum
Why?

>may or may not ever read it
do you even understand letter threads? go home normie

A,

If it was you who called me user at 1:36am, try again. I couldn't answer the phone.

Actually I've used these for like... At least a year and a half or so.

These threads are mostly for a cathartic release and to put certain intentions into the universe. The person that is for may or may not read, point is, I put it out there to the universe.

n,
i love you so so much and i'm so lucky that you're in my life. you make me the happiest person in the world and i couldn't bear to live without you. at times, we go through rough patches, but we always manage to get past them! thank you so much for putting up with my nonsense. i know shit's fucked up with depression, paranoia, anxiety, and other possible mental illnesses... but... you can rise above those things. maybe not now, and maybe not in a couple years. but eventually. i believe in you. don't lose hope and never give up!!! i will support you no matter what and will also love you unconditionally. you are broken, but that makes you even more precious to me. i love you. i will never stop loving you.
yours truly,
p (aka t)

these threads always pop up when im in my feels about you. im afraid that something has changed now that you know how i feel, but in the end it's clear that i am just being insecure. i am so in love with you

if you haven't been here for 5+ years you're a normie and a newfag

A
Every day im without you is so bad for me. I think each time I have to say goodbye and leave you for a while it makes me want you even more than I already do. Its only been a few days and I miss you so much. I cannot wait to see you again, and I would drive to see you right now if I could.I really hope next week we can meet again because its really hard for me to live without you. Every day I fall in love with you even more than the day before, I just want to be with you every day already its taking too long.I really hope our living situation works out in the end and before the end of the year were together, because it is really hard for me to not be with you daily. I'm certain im going to spend the rest of my life with you.I should just tell you this but I think its cuter if u find it here heh
I love you more than anything

Do you happen to be writing this letter to an Anna?

You are literally the only person that make me go gay for you.

yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuup
this is the most original yup ever

I wasn't going to fuck you anyway. Your cowardice is repellent to me

I'm another K and I could say the same for the person I'm thinking about.

Is that person a B?

I dreamt about you too last night, we were togheter in this huge garden and we were eating salad. It was nice.

Yo D,

I wanna tongue punch your fart box.
One love and fuck you.

Sincerely, S

Whom you dreamt about user?

What is a part of growing up?

Dearest M who does not know this board,

I think I got over all.
You and I are best friends. Recently we are chatting everyday. Your country won the victory and you sent me a lot of videos. I can recognize the state of the country you live in and I realize that you are a real person.
"Let's meet in Paris!." We were joking. But it will soon be reality! You are healthy and very gentle. You always contact me when I am down. I feel like happy when I talk with you. Actually You might be my soulmate.

Getting drunk and wondering where it all went wrong.

The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place... and I don't care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently, if you let it. You, me or nobody, is gonna hit as hard as life. But ain't about how hard you hit... It's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward... how much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done. Now, if you know what you worth, go out and get what you worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hits. And not pointing fingers saying: You ain't what you wanna be because of him or her or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain't you! You're better than that

Dear A/K,

What did you think of the drawings? I thought the Orthodox crowns were a nice touch. Message me, I still have a small bit of hope that you will, but it is so easy to forget internet people, and I am thinking it was a farce the whole time. Maybe you have some humanity though, we shall see.

-B

You bring me a ray of hope tbqh.
I like you and your philosophy.
Whatever initial you are, I will remember you.

Perhaps I should call you sunshadow. You bring the sun to a shadow and make the shadow look better.

>if you haven't something something you're a normie
Cry louder baby bitch

user is Rocky Balboa

Dear D,
Recently i read a thread where a bunch of losers like me were listing the qualitys of their ideal gf. I was actually making a list and figured out that everything i was listing was everything i know about you. Is obvious that i have a crush on you since i first listened to your voice, but It has turned stronger with the time. I know i'm like the 5th orbiter that you have and maybe there's a chad out there whose dick you wanna ride, so i think that all my feelings just have to dissapear for my own emotional health and for the weird friendship that we have developed together.
I'm sorry I love you.
Sincerely, I-kun

Dear Chloe,
I know you don't know about any of this and I'm sorry I'm so much of a pussy I can't tell you this to your face, but you changed me. I used to wake up everyday feeling drained and beat down like I couldn't make it anymore, but then I met you. The more we talked, the more I felt I had an attachment to you. Everyday waking up became more of a bittersweet dream, because I knew that no matter how much I cared, nor how much I tried, you would always go for the first fuckboi you would see. If you ever see this, I want you to know you are too sweet to be pulling shit like this over and over and breaking yourself everytime. When you were down, I helped you up, because you did the same to me. When christmas came around I was overjoyed when you opened my present. Your birthday when we stayed up all night talking about the future. I love when we stay up talking till the sun rises and my parents get mad that I'm still up. I regret wasting those 8 months so heavily on you though, but till the end, I love you.-S
