Friend started playing an odd game.  I'm not sure I remember the name fully.   Princess Maker 2 or something (I distinctly remember the 2 the rest I might be mis-remembering)

From the name I figured it would be targeted at a female audience.  I never had dreams of becoming a princess in my youth after all.  But after seeing the enemy designs, it is almost obviously targeted to a male demographic (the slimes have breasts, even the snake enemies have A-cups). 

WTF Japan you make confusing games I don't know what to think anymore.  Don't get me wrong I'm perfectly happy with games becoming more unisex, that's great.  But the game seems to go from one side to another so fast just a few minutes of steam share gave me whiplash.

Ah, Princess Maker 2.

It starts out with you, a heroic male? figure whom saved the land from the Prince of Darkness.
One night, the gods gift you a small girl whom you are requested to raise as your own.
How will she turn out to be? What does fate, through your guidance, have in store for her?
Will she one day return to the heavens, or will she settle for a life on earth?

Basically it's you raising a girl till she's 18. The endings are many, the paths to those endings are numerous. Plenty of replayability here.
You, the player, don't have much of an appearence. Although NPCs does adress you in some instances. But it's really all about your daughter.

It is an old game really, retrofitted for modern systems I guess.

Somebody should do a LP so I can add to my signature.

There's a fairly famous one!  The tale of Lizzie Shinkicker http://lparchive.org/Princess-Maker-2/

I'm happy it's being re-released, it's a fun management game.  Full of quirky Japanese stuff, mostly SFW.  The LP is safe I think.  It's *mostly* safe, but I guess there are a few images of the monsters that are technically naked.

Oh god, the one with Gendo Ikari as the father-figure. That one was fuckin' great.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

I particularly enjoyed the part where it derailed into a Eva clone game of Princess Maker, with Gendo unable to avoid the gay ending.

Really pissed off at the clerk of the 7-Eleven I just went to. I was standing outside, eating what I just bought, when several bees start flying around my bike and food, including flying way too close to my mouth. They're persistent to the point where I go inside, and when I inform the clerk there's a bee problem, he sneers at me and says that he's not going to do anything about it.

While I'm probably angrier than I should be, I still fell very disrespected by how he responded to a very valid concern.

[Levi]

If I was a clerk I'd have no idea how to prevent bees either, and I'd probably be pretty confused if somebody asked me too.

[somemildmanneredidiot]

Clerk's something of an ass, a "Wow that sucks, I'll remember to tell management about it" would have been significantly less dickish.

[Teneb]

I think even a "I can't really do anything about that, sorry" would suffice. But if that is more or less exactly what they said "I'm not going to do anything about that", then they were needlessly a douchebag.

There is no way this isn't a troll post.

This bee post made me WTF today.

Akura is a dependable person who doesn't troll.
Especially since he made this thread.
Unless your 'this' means your own post? o_O

Yes, these things happen. As in, that bee thing.

[Tack]

Maybe he really cares about the bee extinction thing.

[Dunamisdeos]

So like, bees have a range of like two or three miles from their hive.

The 7-11 guy cannot control where bees decide to bother you at. Therefore, it is maybe a little silly to ask him to go outside and shoo the bees. That's like if you went to a park and complained that there were ants, and someone selling hot dogs should make them go away.

[Frumple]

... the thing being kvetched about is not the bees. Just to make sure no one's confused on that front. It seems to be happening, so better safe than sorry, I guess.
