    hawkins sold me on skinship

    I agree that changing it from a thing you do to any member of your army at any time apropros of nothing to something you do with your s-rank gal pals makes it a lot better

    The thing about the petting is that the digital anime man cannot reciprocate

    Now petting a pokemon or something is okay because it's your pet, and pets are unable to reciprocate because they don't have hands so they have an excuse

    But a human being, in the context of some kind of romantic relationship? It's completely one-sided affection, which even if you're not using it in a sexual context is still mega-creepo because cuddling/physical affection is usually a two-way street

    It feels diminutive and creepy because you're treating another (fake digital anime) human being like a pet

    In conclusion, god willing, the above words are all I will ever write about "skinship"

    Yes, I was trying to put my finger on it (god damn it) and that's part of the recipe for creepy disaster.

    I don't know that I need interactivity in those scenes in the games I wanna play, but at least that would feel marginally less creepy, I suppose.

    That still doesn't work for me because it's still a scripted event. None of that stuff feels "right" to me because it's so non-organic. They don't (and really can't) do enough to hide that you're just doing some basic event triggers in a specific sequence.

    Remember how you could watch an entire movie while cuddling with your girlfriend in first-person in The Darkness?

    You could only control where you look but that seems like a better way to induce feelings of intimacy to me.

    What about a Transformers game where you can't transform to robot form and also you have to do all the driving stuff like it was a real car.

    Anyways part of it is that intimacy in media (I'm only judging off media I dunno what a typical Japanese relationship is like) is depicted differently between the west and Japan and that shows up in skinship and that's not a perspective some people can shift over too and that's fine, I just wouldn't whitewash it as creepy (though the initial conceit of having authority over your pettee bothered me)

    Googling reveals the developer of Elsa Dentist is "Happy Baby Games"

    They have a Facebook group and a website but neither of them has any info whatsoever as to where they are located

    Wait

    there is apparently more than one game named Elsa Dentist

    The actual developer of the one we care about is "Cute Dora"

    Their website also states nothing about their company.

    Looks like Olaf loves cool baths. Elsa wanted to please Olaf so she use her master card to buy a special cooling bath tub. Let us hope that Olaf will not injure himself in the bath tub because he does not have a medical insurance and Elsa will have to pay for the treatment with her master card. Follow the steps and give Olaf a bubbly bath that will make him feel and look very fresh.

    this does not appear to be written by a native english speaker, if nothing else

    Since you've been gone
    Well I feel like I've been chewing on tin foil
    Since you've been gone
    It's like I got a great big mouthful of cod liver oil
    Well I'm feelin' like I've stuck my hand inside a blender and turned it on
    You know I've been in a buttload of pain
    Since you've been gone
