Well put, Dawnstorm. I hadn't considered that chess scene at anything beyond face value.

There's so many subtleties and nuances shading Shizune's interactions with her peers in this path that I can't decide if A22 was a genius writer or if we're just overthinking it.

You could get on a beginner's strength programme. Starting Strength and Stronglifts 5x5 will probably work for your purposes, and you can supplement them with more sport-specific exercises if you're also interested in improving your ability at hockey. Things like agility drills (agility ladders, dot...

Don't know if these have been linked, but they're worth looking at if you want to get into strength training of some kind. http://users.rcn.com/theresa63/bodyweightstuff.jpg http://healthnfitnessinfographics.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/stronglifts-5x5-workout.png http://healthnfitnessinfographics...

Covered in the other threads, I think, though it probably bears reposting anyway.

She's not fat. She's not even chubby. She's thinner than me, and I still fit within the normal weight range. She's also thinner than every girl I've dated. She's perfectly healthy. And to those who have argued that prejudice towards overweight individuals is somehow more justifiable than those with...

Mostly agreed, which is her path is probably the one that has benefited the most from (good) fanfiction.

After looking at in-game pictures, I've changed my opinion of Misha's build. I now think she's skinnyfat. She has no obvious muscle tone and looks ok in clothes but is slightly chubby out of them. I thought they looked more muscular than fat in that scene. Kind of like she could kick you in the stom...

By the way, fat =/= curvy, unless you have a fetish for people who looked ribbed from all the fat folds. Fat people (especially women) are hijacking the term to feel better about themselves because they haven't the discipline to educate themselves, eat better and exercise. To be fair, once you're a...

IMO she's in that slightly awkward grey area between 'chubby' and 'curvy'. Not quite fat yet though. It's pretty obvious that she doesn't exercise, or if she does it's the silly 'do 50 reps with 2kg to "tone" your arms' shite that personal trainers have pressed on women for years. Swings, ...

Another one for Bastion. Both possible endings hit pretty hard.

Mass Effect 2 was also pretty good at the finale if you were invested. Of course, you knew how it was going to turn out.

Crescendo made me tear up a little at some points, Private Nurse inflicted the first real case of dem feels on me.

Yeah it's really a matter of personal experience. No one girl is better than the other. The girl that you see yourself the most in will be the one that resonates the most with you, if that makes any sense. Pretty much this. Also, Misha isn't a path because she doesn't bat for that team. Or is a fre...

Damn, yes. It's far greater than the sum of its parts would suggest. Bastion comes to mind as another example.

My two cents, beyond all the other points the others have mentioned. I don't know how to put it more elegantly, but it's probably the fact that it can circumvent my emotional defenses. I've built up a pretty significant resistance to reacting to any kind of emotionally evocative material over the ye...

Weakest? No. Hardest to appreciate might be more like it. It's a damned good one when taken on its own merits, beyond the usual path bloat and slightly clumsy prose in spots. It's rather a lot like Rin's in that there's a hefty entry barrier (i.e. Shizune's abrasive personality), but if she appeals ...

Just remembered this:
