Years ago there was a Lego dress-up thing that offered more choices than most of these "games". Wish I could find it now, that thing was awesome!

Presumably not this one, because it's awful. This one isn't much better, but it does have a bow!

After that, I had some really scary goggles attached to my skull, so that the lens could get close enough to inspect my retinas, or ocular pressure, or something.

I've had my ocular pressure measured tons of times. They put some local anaesthetic into your eye and then you rest your chin on this thing and they poke your eye with a round glowing stick. You can tell when it reaches your eye because it deforms it slightly and makes your vision go a bit weird.

This one starts out as many of them do; by making us rummage through the pantry. At least I think it’s the pantry? Either they’re keeping their milk and cheese in the pantry or their bananas in the fridge, and I’m not sure which possibility I find more offensive. :colbert:

What's wrong with keeping bananas in the fridge?


Kloro posted:

"Microwave oven" is what people over here would call a microwave if they were being formal, but it is just a name. And trying to bake a cake in a microwave would not go well at all.

You can totally make cakes in a microwave.


Kloro posted:

I forgot about those! Those are usually called combination microwaves though, aren't they? I can see why a translator would be confused.

Convection microwaves.


OwlFancier posted:

As a concern, if it's anything like every microwave oven I've ever seen, attempting to use the conventional element will make your food, kitchen, hair, and entire house smell and taste like burning plastic. Though that might be just because they're used so infrequently.

My parents had one until recently and I'm pretty sure they never had that problem.


Hokuto posted:

And I don't mean American chores where you can throw clothes in the dryer and cook up some Hamburger Helper; No, this is Japanese chores where you have to spend 2 hours prepping dinner (because instant mixes above the tier of cup ramen don't exist) and hang all of your laundry by hand because dryer hookups physically don't exist in houses or apartments.

What's a "dryer hookup"? And cooking food from fresh ingredients usually doesn't take anything like two hours of preparation.

It MAY have been from A Wrinkle in Time, actually... There was a character who hypnotized one of the main characters, I think? And the sign that he was hypnotized was his eyes spinning or rotating.

That series of books kinda hosed me up as a kid. And A Wrinkle In Time was BEFORE the crazy got mindblowing in those. I'll never unread that one childbirth from Many Waters. Ever.

So today in the coloring book corner, we have a phenomenon I have not touched on yet that shows up on these types of websites: Create Your Own Manga games. In these, they give you a scene, and you can dress up the characters and change their dialogue. There are a lot of these. Let's tell a story! Here's a good example from Rinmaru.

Here's mine:

It tells the story of evil anime chef Hatsune Miku, whose friend stole some mysterious Pocky out of her school bag, only to find out the deadly and zombifying consequences.

A PSA about not reading the thread.


The minty-haired Akihito is upset by Hitoshi's failure to understand even the basics of fashion.
Hitoshi is crying because he's being choked.
Akihito is crying (but hiding his tears behind his glasses like a real man) because it's hurting him more than it's hurting Hitoshi.


The game. The music is really good in an awful way. I've been listening to it for 20 minutes.

A few of these of these games have such washed-out skintones; on this one I only went to the second-lightest shade, and somehow I entered the grey zone. This particular game is also a bit odd with hair colors, as I set both of these girls to white hair.

But regardless of that, I had fun going in and building some quick and silly scenes. Even if this is all I have to show for it.

When you said Boyfriend Maker, I got my hopes up a little, thinking it'd be this app, which I love and am SHOCKED hasn't shown up in this thread yet (unless I completely missed it). Here is a tumblr with examples of why its the best girl game of all the girl games: http://boyfriendmaker.tumblr.com/ I will 100% play some of it and take screenshots for the thread as soon as I can.

That being said, I did enjoy this false Boyfriend Maker in the exactly correct way:



and then I realized you can adjust the features so I went back in:
