(RP question) Henry, has there ever been a decision you've genuinely regretted?

"Regret, hmm? An interesting question, though I’m not sure you’d understand my answer. Regret implies I care about traditional morality or harbor guilt for the paths I've chosen—let’s not kid ourselves, I certainly don’t."

"However, if I must humor you, there are… moments I’d redo, purely for efficiency’s sake, of course. Perhaps a few hasty experiments where the specimen didn’t survive long enough to yield all the data I wanted. Or a handful of partnerships—like with Sinister, for instance—that proved more trouble than they were worth."

"And, I suppose, given the utmost hypothetical, one might wish to tread carefully with certain personal entanglements. Too many of you cling to your moral high ground while failing to see the grand designs—the real possibilities for evolution that only a few of us understand. I might wish that people could understand… appreciate what I do, but regretting their resistance? No. The limitations are theirs, not mine."

"So, do I regret anything? Only those instances where others’ small-mindedness and lack of vision have hampered what could have been groundbreaking work. But that's a flaw of theirs, not mine. And I don’t linger on the mistakes of others."

These are shots from the opening credits of "Requiem from the Darkness." It had a short run on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim block, but other than that, it didn't get much exposure in the US. It was an atmospheric, creepy show, starring an author named Momosuke who was traveling around Japan to collect a hundred horror stories for a compilation novel. As a result of this, he kept running into people (trickster beings? specters? minor deities? it's never really explained) named Mataichi, Nagamimi, and Ogin, who punish the wrongdoings of sinners in frightening ways. Ultimately, this is supposed to avert a major disaster, but boy does shit happen along the way.

As you probably guessed, this isn't a happy-fun-sunshine-and-rainbows show. The coloring and shading is gloomy, the stories are dark, and the ending is bittersweet. But the soundtrack is pretty cool, and I tend to defend the under-represented anyway, so if there's a way to at least check out a few episodes, why not try it?

Why I switched from Choices to Romance Club 📖

I started playing Choices in 2019 and I was always so delighted when they veröffentlicht published a new story. I really loved playing that game, but last year I discovered a girl on YouTube who was posting some let's plays from Theodora and I immediately wanted to try this game.

~ The graphic is waaay better and more realistic.

No reused faces nor characters. I am always amazed about every new book and its characters. Even the so-called "unimportant" side characters have their own design and are not reused which cannot be said about Choices unfortunately. 😔

~ Better character development. Your choices really matter and have different outcome for the MC.

The way you interact with each of the characters has its consequences. The LI's also interact like real people and if you date someone and then decide to switch to an other LI, their romance path is closed. You really have to choose wisely for whom you decide to be with.

~ Quality over quantity

I don't really remember how many books are currently published (ended and ongoing) in RC, but it's definitely not as much as in the Choices app. I HATE the VIP books and that fact that you have to wait thousand years for it to get widely released! 😵 And when you open the first chapter you see that it's just another single love interest book with some three macho guys you are not attracted to (I respect everyone who's into the standard "sexy" type of men, of course, it's just not me 😇) and three girls from whom you choose the kleinste smallest evil.

~ More accessible diamonds and teas

I LOVE Diamond Rush, Tea Parties and so on �� It's sooo player-friendly and so worth it! Even the access to diamonds and teas is more suited for wide audience and honestly - when RC is so generous and want to give you so much for free, then you want to buy some diamond/tea pack from them even more, because you know they value their players. 🙏

~ No single love interest books!

Oh my gosh, I have been so annoyed that most of the books Choices release lately is meant for single romance. The problem is not with faithfulness, but with the fact that everyone has their own definition of attraction and beauty. And most of the main LIs in single love interest books are written stereotypically (Bad Boy, guy nextdoor, rebellious girl...) I miss the plasticity of their personalities, of their appearances. Not everyone who matches today's beauty standards is actually beautiful. There should be diversity in LIs. Some of them should be curvier, more slender, with glasses, with bigger nose, with disability, with albinism... Just go on the street and look at the classic human beauty seen every day in public transport! Stop giving us some plain definition of beauty which lacks its own charm.

The only thing I would improve in RC would be the option to choose if we want to play as a male, female, non-binary...etc. As far as I know, only Gladiator's Chronicles have a male MC.

Now I have some personal highlights about Choices I'd like to get rid of because it's been in me for so long 🙉

First thing's first, The Princess Swap was such a good book. I loved the idea. Still, I've got a certain love-hate relationship with this book. First of all, biology and genetics does not make sense in this standalone. Secondly, lord Cecil was not as bad as everyone thinks. He and the king were my most favourite characters, actually. 🤭 Third, I was so annoyed by the prince/ss of Ismar. We were forced to marry them, we could not even say no.🤦

I loved BOLAS N° 1. I replayed the story twice. I was in love with Tyril Starfury. Even though I loved Kaya Duskraven more. She was sooo gorgeous! When they introduced the sequel to us I was naively hoping that we might get Kaya back. That we would find some magical artefact, for example, and bring her back to life, so that she can join the party and be our new love interest. I would definitely switch to her. Instead, we got Valax... I am a little bit disappointed by the sequel, to be honest. They were promising us so many mesmerizing things and I was just expecting a little more from the three years waiting episode. Not only did I not understand why Cherta and Willow joined our party and then they left afterwards... I was like: okay, new love interests apparently. And then whoosh, they vanished. And we ended up trapped with the Valax-drama until the last chapters... I respect everyone who likes the sequel, it is just not me. Unfortunately. I will stick to the good old first book, which I love. 🩷

Bones really went “you’ll never know the forth, the fifth, the minor falls the major lifts”

for atfhv playlist can i suggest looking into star wars soundtracks and the orchestral arrangement of black mamba by aespa? they've got a dark dramatic vibe that could maybe work imo

my concern with much of the star wars soundtrack is that i'm going to associate it VERY STRONGLY with star wars and not be able to mentally divorce it from that context if that makes sense? like that's why i couldn't put the first part of beethoven's 5th in there - other associations are too strong

i just listened to that arrangement and YES that is the sort of thing i'm looking for!! thank you!!
