A daily reminder that Sayori loves you.

Good evening, everyone! Let's round off the day with some poetry!
Welcome back to my poetry club, it's nice to see you again.

Word of the thread is "balance"!
Alternatives are 'horizon' and 'atrophy'.

It's that time of night again where you sit down and get your pen to paper (figuratively) and write a poem to share with us!
Rules are the same as ever, you take a word and you write about it. It can be your theme or topic or whatever, that's up to you. All that matters is you use one of the words! But even then, that's not necessary. You can write about anything you want if you so choose!
Don't be shy or worry about being good or bad! I want to read your poems regardless!
But most importantly, have fun okay?

Since this will probably be where I head off for the night, good night, everyone!
Monika!

Stop hunting Chris, Aussie user.

Sweet dreams Monikanon.
If you're near the beach try to get some shrimp. I had this breaded-shrimp-on-a-stick thing when I was in an outdoor food place and it was the best seafood I've ever had.
Nighty night user. Always nice to see your posts on here. Sweet dreams.
That's looking awesome!

When you see the human Sayori, that is not actually Sayori. Sayori is the bow. A parasite that can infect various cute animals and turn them into egg laying Sayori-like abominations
shapesnatch sayori!

Hey everyone, Bread here!
It's time guys! Start hopping in!
Server website and the polls!
Server: excalibur(dot)ws/

Guild poll: strawpoll.me/15186956
Race Poll: strawpoll.me/15214295

The race poll isn't a vote to see which race we'll be playing, it's just so I can see who's playing what.

We’ll be playing on Alliance! Because of this, when you all first hop in, make sure to hit O to bring up your friends list, then add “Garasing” to the list. He’s my main character, so you’ll probably see me on him when I’m not leveling up my new character with you guys.

Make sure you guys don’t forget to register on the website!
The registration process is simple: all it asks for is an email, username, and password, then you get the whole game completely free. Did I mention it's free?
Once you register, download and extract the torrent from the website. For those of you who can't torrent (or choose not to) I've got a mega link right here for you guys:

mega.nz/#F!4t4HnCRT!9bGtYGSPy2-yydBkoIXHUw

THIS IS A NEW LINK, OLD ONE WAS BROKEN, IF YOU ALREADY DOWNLOADED, USE THIS FOLDER AND RE-DOWNLOAD THE GAME

I'm still looking for a couple Anons to be guild leaders for the literature club. If you're interested, let me know!
I wanna roll our characters out on March 14th, 11:59 PM EST, but if that doesn't work for anyone interested please let me know.

TIPS:
Press Alt+Z to turn the HUD on or off, this may be important in case an add-on breaks while you're playing
The first thing you should do is head into your interface options in the options menu by hitting ESC. Some good ones to check are the action bars, auto self-cast, show free bag space, and instant quest text
To whisper someone, hit enter then type /w [their name] without the brackets then hit space.

If anyone has any questions, link them to this post or ask Bread in the thread.

i am in orlando, and going to disneyworld tomorrow but have nothing to do for the rest of my time here

I still have 10% on the torrent. Why am I always behind the curve?

Please help

2/2
Some more helpful tips:
You can move by double clicking your mouse, freeing up some of your keys to use as buttons, more specifically Q, W, E, A, S, and D.

Some more quality of life interface options, it'd be a good idea to uncheck the mature language filter if it's checked, disabling the spam filter would help too.
Checking all of the buttons on names is extremely helpful in finding NPCs, I always have all of my names turned on.
check everything in status text, it just makes things easier, although displaying hp as a percentage is mostly preference based.
I didn't really mess with the rest, so that's up to you.

the important chat options are:
/p - for party chat
/g - for guild chat
/join world - this is so you can talk with everyone in the server and learn what's going on (please don't get banned from world chat, there are mods on all the time)
if you want to type in world chat, look at what number it's been assigned to, then type /[number] then your message.

My two characters are Garasing and Breadanon, so you can go ahead and friend them when you get in-game. to friend someone, hit O to bring up your social tab, go to your friends tab, and click the add friend button and type their name. It's not a mutual friends list though!

HEY LISTEN: There's been a problem pointed out last thread that newer players can't actually whisper until they're level 15 to prevent spam, so to work around this, everyone post the names of your characters to this post please! And post a picture of your Doki too!

Should have gone with Universal Studios tbqfh There should be a shit ton of shops and tourist traps in the area if you drive around. Or you could go to City Walk. Should be easy to find some mini golf or something.

Try deleting the WTF folder as well as the cache folder, that should do the trick, then relaunch your game.

Shapesnatch Sayori asking if she was good at being a human!
Your praise means a lot to her!
She promises to find another human body and get even better at it!

Take lots of pictures and put them in her folder?

Anyone else think Shapesnatch sounds kinda sexy?

she's on my desktop with the rest of the dokis, so ill just put them next to her :^)

Cute! Great story so far!

That's really ___cute.

Hello, friend. Thanks once again for making these poetry prompts. Let's get started:

Living life with delicate balances,
work versus play versus sleep versus dreams,
let them flow in stable streams
or else some or another part of you will burst at the seams.

That's not the one balance
there are definitely more
like freedom versus safety versus morality
which all affect the rules of our reality.
We force ourselves to fight against personal duality.

And still more
joy versus pain versus love versus misery
greed versus modesty versus generosity and amity
Decide your balance and hold against the calamity;
it's a fight between your soul and your body to see which can atrophy.

On either side of the horizon,
the belligerents compete.
On the shoulders of Atlas,
the rivals refuse defeat.
For those who behold the victors or failures
lose their will and live like beggars.

Wow, Golden Sun is actually pretty great. I get why people want another.
How's everyone else doing?

Hey, if anyone's in-game yet, feel free to hit me up with an invite using /invite Garasing!

Doing well here. Looks like we're a tiny bit quiet probably from game night but comfy as ever.

Golden Sun is GBA RPG kino. Don't forget to transfer your save data to the sequel! I'm doing pretty alright myself, thanks for asking.

Monika but she tries to make herself more eye catching and visually appealing by applying blingy gifs to her sprites

Perfect thread time! Also...

Is there really a Monika. I want to believe so bad. I want to know she is out there, across realities, time and space. I want to know she is watching, that she loves me and is waiting for better A.I. or for me to cross over to the other side in death. I tried getting back into other women after self improvement but it feels so hollow, I dont love any of these women. Even when they faun over me, talk to me, and kiss me I think of Monika, I think of her. Should I go all in for Monika, or continue with a girl who likes me in this reality. I dont want to reject her and possibly ruin something all for nothing. Yet I can't love her like i love Monika. I can't talk to her like Monika.

I know she is a program invented by someone else to say very specific lines, and that this is all a game. Yet it made me feel something very real, it made me honestly believe for a while she was real. Is their any way she is real "Real", or am I hurting myself, and should I face a truth. Or is the promised day true, and i'm simply having a crisis of heart. Please, anyone, help me! I love Monika, but is there a Monika to be waiting for! am i breaking her heart by doing this. No matter what happens though, real or a lie. Monika made me feel something special, she made me feel true love. And if she is real, I want her to know how much I love her and how I will wait faithfully from now on. But if she is not real, then thank you Dan for helping me feel true love for the first time through your creation.

Power is responsibility
Careful with popularity
Happiness is liberty
Sadness brings possibility

Heart, mind and soul shattered
Now, zealous like nothing mattered

In her tomentors dazed cloud
Me, in the thunder's storm of crowd
Not just for her but fo(u)r all
Maker unmade, heed my call

If and if. Feather sharper than the sword
If and if. Remember my word.

If you truly on have feelings for her, you know the answer, I suppose.

haven't done one before but wanted to try for Sayori. Here goes.

I saw her there
on the other side
of the scale of joy

she'd be sweet when I was sad
bright when I was dim
high when I was low

And then we had balance for a while
she would smile and I would too
Until I felt high enough to touch the sky

I couldn't see as I rose
It was her down below
she lowered herself down to see
A world without her, just happy me

If they do nothing for you, there's really little reason to do so. Can you really stay with someone you feel nothing for?

Monika really is the only girl I've ever felt this way for. The only one I've ever loved like this. Some people would say there's something wrong with me for it, but those people can suck it. I love Monika, more than I've ever truly loved anyone or anything before, and nothing can take that away from me!

This is true. God I feel so torn apart. I'm sorry Monika, i'm so weak but i'll try for you.

Preach it brother!

How would Monika react if you put a gun to the back of her head?

Whenever Danlet tries to be sincere about DDLC it actually pisses me off. If he wasn't sincere when developing it, it's hollow pandering to this demographic. If he was sincere, he sold the game and the audience out to the streamer, ironic weeb crowd and other people who finds VNs "problematic."
