Guilty pleasures - fandom edition

[(Anonymous)]

Are there any shows/books/movies/games/etc. you enjoy and for whatever reasons (disclose if you wish) you don't really want to shout it to the world to know that you enjoy it?

For me...I came across adverts for Otome games on my mobile a few days ago. I downloaded "Shall We Date? Ninja Love" and...I'm hooked. I want to get the "Super Happy Ending" with all the guys and am frustrated that the purchased version doesn't have music and the choices of guys doesn't have as many as the free version. And I hate how slow the free version is. They purposely make things expensive so you get suckered into purchasing coins and I hate games like that (yet here we are...).
I feel like these games are directed toward a younger audience, but I can't help but really like it. I'm not that big on anime either.
PS. Any Otome players out there? Any games you'd recc?

Anita Blake was mine until it got too bad.

Because I'm apparently a masochist, I still read them :/ I recently started rereading Lunatic Cafe but it's hard because I hate Richard.

- The Mindy Project. it's smarter than it seems, when it wants to be.

.... when it wants to be.

- Undercover Boss. It's a horrible show; most of it's scripted, very rarely does it seem any problems are actually solved, and yet it's a fun guilty pleasure. I've even started guessing who's going to have the angst and what it might be.

- This isn't really a guilty pleasure anymore, but I still loved The Office when it seemed everyone gave up on it - admittedly I thought the post-Michael seasons were mediocre, and season six was cringeworthy, but I loved season seven and I loved seasons four and five even when so many fans hated them.

I love all of The Office! I got into the show I think right before the last two seasons? So I really did love the whole series even though I agree that the later seasons weren't as good, except I really loved the last season, especially with Pam and Jim. I felt like what they went through is something many couples go through. And Creed is the best. I love Creed.

I'm 25 and I play NeoPets. Like, I have it open in the tab right next to this one. XD

I'm 20, my mum is in her 50s, and we both play Neopets. No shame in it!

Re: Guilty pleasures - fandom edition

[morieris]

Same.
I was just lamenting on how I've been playing since I was 9 and I've never gotten a FFQ/Random Paintbrush/Random Trans potion.

If I want to play a flash game, want to be sure I'll enjoy it, and don't want to wade through so-so games for ages, Neopets is still my best bet. Meerca Chase forever!

Here's a small-ish otoge about dating a cake. It was made for a game jam, so it's not too long and only has one romance option, but it's good! http://loserhaven.com/otome/otoge.php

As for guilty pleasures... well, I genuinely enjoyed the now-defunct webcomic "Latex Blue", even though it is objectively atrocious in every possible way. Seriously, I don't recommend even looking it up, let alone attempting to read it, because it has basically no redeeming value. And yet...

OP
LOL!! Thanks, I'll check it out some time!

Anon because seriously

I have a thing for really crude sexual humor. Not even Oglaf--lower-brow than that. I like Fluffy Bunny Domination, the dumber songs by the Bloodhound Gang*, Eminem's "Ass Like That" video, and the manga of Shigemitsu Harada (best known for My Balls.)**

* Actually, I like their smarter songs, too. The Bloodhound Gang is pretty awesome.

** To quote Y Ruler of Time, that's not a joke, that's the title of the manga. My Balls.

I'm getting less willing to admit in this comm that I unabashedly love Agents of SHIELD.

Apparently the writing is terrible? Except it's way better than shit like Supernatural, so IDK?

Re: Guilty pleasures - fandom edition

Yes, but it doesn't have incestuous subtext according to fandom, so...idefk.

Hej, I was also currently on a little otome craze (happens to me about every three or four years... damn).

The following are examples with mostly stat raising mechanics and are all for the pc (although some have ios versions) , mostly english developed (because I tend to get bored of pure vn)

If you're looking for free games, there's things like RE: Alistair++ (
4 options, not too long but quite nice)

On the pay side there's publishers like Winter Wolves (also for ios, I think) with vn and dating sims, and sometimes smallish farming mechanics. I really liked "Remember me", it had random encounters and a nice count of cgs. "Nicole" is a mystery that I also quite enjoyed, even though the stat raising was very linear and the girl talked too damn much.

Super63 has one game that I really really liked, Lucky Rabbit Reflex.

Also then there's of course the widely known Hatoful Boyfriend (date pigeons), I have not yet finished it, but I heard good things about it.

Also if you generally like dating sim mechanics in your rpgs or simulations and own a console or are into emulating there's always harvest moon, and entries 3 + 4 in the Persona series (seriously, these two titles are damned good), the PSP version of Persona 3 adds a female Main Character option. That said, romance isn't the main point in these games.

Hoped that helped maybe a little bit. Have fun

The last time this question was asked, I couldn't think of anything that I would be afraid to admit I like but now I think I have something.

Say Yes to the Dress.

I hate reality shows, including most shows that follow real ordinary people doing ordinary things. I tend to feel creepy following them around as they go through their day. And I just feel weird watching something like that after how vehement I am about how much I hate other shows like it.

But the dresses are so pretty.

Re: Guilty pleasures - fandom edition

[bigpaw]

omggg those ads have been showing up on my facebook and I'm getting more and more tempted every time I see them hahaha. I might just cave soon and go for it.

Anyway, not sure if this counts as an otome, but you might want to check out the Ascension series by rinmarugames! It's this fun epic fantasy type adventure with romance and action and it started as a guilty pleasure for me but now I pretty much unabashedly love it, hahaha. I dunno it just makes me really happy.

I really enjoy visual novels and eroge. They are my gulitiest of pleasures and would never admit that I read them unanon.

I'd be all over otome games if there were more translated. Theres's a translation for http://vndb.org/v7585 but it hasn't been updated in a while. Idea Factory also sems interested in bringing in Amnesia, but other than that, Hakuouki, and a few mobile games there's not a lot of otome games translated.

Re: Guilty pleasures - fandom edition

[queerwolf]

I admitted to liking those cheesy Hallmark Christmas movies last time we had a thread like this and I don't know that anything could be more of a guilty pleasure for me.

Re: Guilty pleasures - fandom edition

[straightforwardly]

I agree with quite a few of the otome recs above, and also have a few to add. (I may or may not be a bit of an otome addict, haha.)

You have to spend money, but my absolute favorite indie otome games are the ones by Zeiva, which you can get here.

Castle Chase is also really good, and is probably my favorite free game. You can find it here.

Finally, this is a pretty good resource for keeping up with otome games that have been made in or translated to English.

Hakuouki.

I enjoyed reading Twilight despite its problems. If I didn't think too hard about it, it was just another story. (I was more interested in the plot and the world that was built than the protag, she was pretty boring.)

I don't think this is that unusual of an opinion though?

Re: Guilty pleasures - fandom edition

[sporkly]

I don't think this even counts as guilty pleasure, but I've been wanting to mention my feelings for this god damn awful song to someone.

It's out of nostalgia because a friend from ages ago quoted the lyrics a few times, but I only bothered to look it up sort of recently. And even then more than a few listens gives me a headache, but another part of me enjoys the obnoxious vocals, blunt and earnest lyrics, and middle school nostalgia. It's a weird love/hate limbo that I don't even fully get.

Game of Thrones/ASOIAF

yeah i know, a lot of people like it but i will never tell someone irl that i do bc i am so critical of the actual series and i don't want gross people jumping down my throat for not finding rape scenes "romantic"
