As far as the site goes, slowly working on Tales From the Basement 2 (About halfway done with the second path), and planning the next contest announcement sometime for September.

I was going to try to set up another Escape the Dark Sector game after the last contest, but you lot were all involved your Blacksmith stuff, so I didn't bother.

Also need to get around to updating the CYS history at some point.

I've been planning on what to do with wolves of the sea.

I just read that as, "I've been planning on what to do with all the wolves in the sea". Thought it was a very noble goal regarding an overlooked and widely unreported issue and wished you all the best in your endeavor. ^_^

Just kind of stumbling around aimlessly, looking for brains to eat. The usual totally not dead stuff. ^_^

Both!

Well your chances of getting featured in scifi are better with the cyberpunk story. However, the grimdark category doesn't have as many stories in it in general so more additions there are cool. Granted we could probably use more scifi stories too.

I've been busy with real-life obligations, and working on a non-CYOA story

My plan was to make Vira and Cupcake actually decent, but I haven’t gotten around to that yet. It turns out that being at kung fu from 8:30am to 9:00pm teaching little kids is really exhausting. Therefore I have spent my weekends sitting around and doing absolutely nothing. 

I rated and read the shortest stories I could find for a few days straight because I wanted the 50% of all stories rated trophy, but that’s literally all I've done on this site since the contest. Definitely not dead. :)

Well, I've been playing Persona 3 Portable. This is someone like Kiel's favorite game for the reason that is presented in the video above.

... When you buy a game for the sexy husbandos, but you can't get 100% achievements without completing the pedo ending. ^_^

Some would say it’s how you know you're playing a game that was produced in Japan. Lel.

Female sex predators don't get enough representation in a traditionally male dominated field.

This game was indeed quite progressive and ahead of its time when you think about its release date of 2009. As always the samurai is ahead of the silly fat cowboy.

Did you play the other personas as well?

I changed my avatar just to answer your question. 

Just looked up the game to check the age of the characters. From the info I can find, the protagonist is 17 and the boy in this clip is 10... Welcome to Japan, everybody! ^_^

And apparently in the original Japanese translation, the FEMC still "spends a long time" with him. It's the line that a player usually gets in a social link with heavy romantic subtext that's rank 10 and the characters are in a bedroom with one another. Maybe playing an intense game of chess? In any case, the localization team added the "you spent a long time talking" but taking the original dialogue into account, it wasn’t talking they were doing.

Maybe another intense game of chess?

But the trend continues in both Persona games that follow. In P4 you can be 16-17 and enter some relationship with an older nurse. P5 has you being 16-17 and able to date your older female teacher, or your older local doctor. But a 10 year old is kind of in a different league... they're re-releasing P3 on Xbox so I guess we'll see if they'll keep this scene in. 

Only time will tell if Persona 6 continues that trend. 

I'm sure they were definitely fucking and tried to get around it by saying they were "talking."

There was a game I was playing recently called Atom RPG which was basically Fallout: Soviet Union and there was a mission where you can make a teenage farm girl's life more "exciting" by getting her alcohol and weed.

You don't see anything and it doesn't directly say, but there's a lot of giggling, and "Wow!" "That's amazing!" and "Ouch!" style floating dialogue and it's pretty obvious she isn't just talking about the drugs and booze you're giving her.
