Ahh, 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. Ah, 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 haven 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 temp 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.
In other words, this is a thread on an imaginary forum our avatars frequent. The topic can fluctuate, and its mostly just general discussion.

Afternoon everyone. The time change in Kalos has kind of given me a headache. But at least I got to see a lot of waterfalls yesterday. How is everything going today?

Nothing much today outside of the weather being weird, cold and sunny in the morning then hot and rainy in the afternoon.
Whatever it's like tomorrow, it won't ruin the spirit for mother's day which we're continuing to get well prepared for!
Do you have any ideas for tomorrow too Iris? I think she'll be surprised with joy to see you in that adorable fairy form! aroo.

Yeah, I'm sure they're not that "vanilla". There's probably more than meets the eye!

that is one of the least creative names i've ever heard of.
that's like naming a song "song #1".
Think we're ready for that next floor, Eight.

Hey Acht, I’ve asked you before but I think you missed my question. Does your name choice come from German?
Also, while we’re at it, song recommendation.
Just Another Acht Fan
there is no way. i was kidding.
oh, right. forgot to answer that. i... have no knowledge of what German is, but i'm assuming it's a language, like Latin or my native Octoling. and, if i'm right that it's a language, no, i don't speak it. didn't know my name meant eight, though.
...kinda makes dating Eight redundant. like, "oh, Eight's dating another word for eight, how cute. they should be called '64'."
also, the song rec? amazing, actually. i love it.
Think we're ready for that next floor, Eight.

[1] I see. Yeah, German is my native language - although I have seen it pop up in other universes, like Tevyat, where it starts feeling ever so slightly… off? I guess that’s cultural diffusion for you, however that works for multiversal boundaries.
Also, based 2 Mello enjoyer! You'd probably love pretty much his entire discography, but in particular the Memories of Tokyo-To and Sounds of Tokyo-To Future albums. Tokyo-To Future is probably my favorite, if you can access it.
In other news, I have a choice to make this evening. Should I a) continue to work on my magic framework or b) read up on the optimization script for the homework that’s due next tuesday (in three days)?

wonderfully. she's, uh, very touch-starved so i have to give her hugs. a lot. not like i'm mad about it. i like it. means i get to spend more time with her.
hm... it's in three days. if it won't take more than 2 hours, i'd say today, but if it will, just put it off for a bit. the magic framework sounds interesting.

[1] Sorry for the delay, I'm currently hiking on a difficult trail with my parents and there's a lot of treacherous cliffs here. Tomorrow for Mother's Day I'm probably gonna get my mom some gift cards, lots of chocolate cupcakes and a Swablu as a new Pokémon for her to keep.
sounds fun

The Mondstadt language is apparently very similar to German. I don't think anyone here would recognize my actual native language, though, haha.

not really, no. never really saw the point in being "extra" for my partner. she loves me, and i think that's good enough. i love her too.
stay safe on that hike. went up Mount Nantai once with Pearl, Marina, and Eight, and nearly fell multiple times. thankfully Eight caught me every time. was nice seeing the view, though.

[1] D’aww, your relationship sounds great!
I’ve finished part of the framework now - mainly a set of functions that handle strings. I should maybe start at the beginning here.
A couple of weeks ago I discovered that in some universes, when I focus on the mathematical definition of an object enough, I could make it manifest in the real world - even objects as complicated as the Mandelbrot set. For instance, {x in mathbb{R} | x_1^2+x_2^2+x_3^2 leq 1} would create a unit sphere, roughly at the tip of my nose. And this ability would work through some layers of abstraction, too, I could define "sphere1" as being the unit sphere and still make it manifest!
So now, the framework I’m making is based on this ability. My goal is a system to which I can add objects, remove objects, or have objects exchange data between each other - for now I’m leaving this last part out, because it’s kinda complicated. The objects, as of now, are tuples of subsets of R^3 and a name string which helps identify them, eventually they’ll get input and output vectors too.
For scene adding/removing I want to make sure that every object has a unique name, so I’ve been working on those string handling functions for a while now. The outline for scene.add() and scene.remove() I already have on my tablet, and I only need to add those to my Github repository, so I might be able to test it very soon!
Speaking of the repo, feel free to look around. The majority of it is in LaTeX, I'm not sure if that's a standard you squids have

Oh, uh. That's not me, that's a playable character from a recently released game called "Rabbit and Steel", which, granted, does bear some resemblance to Touhou.

You look like a Touhou character. Kinda reminds me of one of the bunny characters from that series.

Haha, that’s fair! It’s gonna be really cool once it’s done and I have a couple of objects ready to use with it.

Seeing all the characters swap roles from the original format of Undertale is pretty entertaining imo.
