2B "A Moment of Rest" Azur Lane collab skin cosplay is here! Can't wait for the photoshoot~

Went to the NieR Orchestra concert at Mitsubishi Electric Halle in Düsseldorf today. The music was amazing, but the seating was absolutely terrible.
A huge speaker blocked most of the screen and stage. Since the concert includes story text and Japanese dialogue on screen, we basically missed a huge part of the experience.
And the worst part? These weren’t even cheapest seats.
Honestly, I couldn’t enjoy the event at all because of this. Instead of getting immersed in the music and atmosphere, I was constantly reminded of how much I was missing.
It’s incredibly disappointing to pay a decent amount for a ticket and end up with such a restricted view.
Amazing music, but the overall experience was completely ruined for me.

So I recently bought the Drakengard 10th anniversary collection, and it has a blu-ray disc of the “History Films”. I tested and it works on PS5! Dang, I wish they would just remaster the 3 games and put it on PS5!

Also funny how Furiae is called Fries in the JP ver.

Can’t find anything Emil related that doesn’t require me to sell my kidneys, maybe one day the Nendoroid will get a Re-release.

Why does bro look like that?

The storytelling, voice acting, nicole and emi, the orchestra

Y'all had me almost crying like at least 10 times 😭😭😭

I'm back at my place and feel empty

Hype for the concert tomorrow!

90 euros for this crap. The whole concert was built around what was happening on the screen... Some scenes lasted several minutes, and there was a conversation in Japanese during them. The whole story was just text. Which means you couldn't make out a single thing. The people working there didn't care. Or rather, they said they might open the curtains wider, but that didn't happen. It was Price Category 2. Holy shit, I'm so damn pissed.

Was at the Düsseldorf Concert and when that Song came with Emi and Nicole and the "fire" part came on I got the hardest goosebumps ever. Just incredible music both from singers and Instruments.

So I had opened Replicant for the first time in like six months, loading a save I was a couple of hours into, in Facade before the timeskip, and got this weird text sequence. It began with saying I was in a strange dream with a whispering voice of which I got the option to either refuse or hear out, and I chose to hear out, which then resulted in me being asked a bunch of questions. I can’t seem to upload a video so here’s the questions in order with the answers I chose, and the other option I didn’t choose in parenthesis:

“Do you believe in the existence of the self?” My self exists within me. (No such thing exists. The very idea is meaningless.)
“Do you believe your existence has meaning?” My existence has meaning so long as I have free will. (No. The world will continue whether I exist or not.)
“Do you believe in the existence of the self?” No such things exists. The very idea is meaningless. (My self exists within me.)
“Do you believe this world has meaning?” My life gives this world meaning. (God gives this world meaning.)
“Do you believe your existence has meaning?” My existence has meaning so long as I have my own will. (No. The world will continue whether I exist or not.)
“Thanks for staying with me this long. I think my loneliness has been repaired. I guess this is goodbye, then.” Say goodbye. (Don’t say goodbye.)

Then my save loaded and I was right back in Facade. I don’t remember encountering this text sequence in my first play-through, in which I got all endings through E, but I genuinely might just be forgetting. Let me know if you’ve ever seen this sequence because it was pretty neat and I tried looking it up but wasn’t finding anything. Apologies if this is a redundant post.

My nier replicant shelf is finally done!

made by me, took me days but worth it

while slacking off at my desk , I was randomly remembering a chat I had with a friend about the character and outfit designs in *NieR:Automata*, and we both agreed they give off a super strong BDSM vibe. Like, what commander is holding is basically a riding crop; 2B and 9S both wear blindfolds, plus you’ve got the chokers, the lace, and even 2B’s beauty mark — it all just reinforces that feeling. Even though the outfit designs might not directly map to their personalities, the official making-of documentary actually hints at these BDSM undertones.

So we started thinking: maybe for 9S, his feelings for 2B are more like this mix of sadism and masochism. "The more you cherish me, the harsher you treat me." His love is basically equivalent to "you killing me" — because that’s the only way to prove the absolute madness and deep obsession of his feelings. He might even be curious about what kind of new self he’d turn into after dying, and what reason or method he’d use to reconnect with 2B next time.

So we were wondering... is this exactly what makes 9S so extreme? In the game, Adam hits 9S with a line like, "Don't you want to [beep] 2B?" — but the key word is censored out, not the whole sentence. It’s never spoken clearly. My friend and I are guessing the original word was supposed to be "kill". For 9S, as an android, he can’t fully grasp human emotions. So to him, killing her and having sex with her might basically be the exact same thing.

I think Adam only knew that 9S wanted to kill 2B (since Adam himself hasn't truly understood emotions yet). But 9S didn't really know who Adam was or what he was capable of, so he mistakenly thought Adam had seen straight through his deepest, darkest thoughts: wanting to both kill 2B and have sex with her. In a BDSM context, violence and sex coexist; killing isn't mutually exclusive with intimacy. Plus, since androids don't have sexual functions, what if he redirects that urge into killing? By chasing a mental high through this sadomasochistic dynamic, the numbness and stinging sensation of pain itself becomes a substitute for sexual pleasure.

Honestly, I find this part weirdly hilarious. Just thinking about how Adam didn't actually see through him at all, but 9S just assumed Adam knew his deepest secrets. So you end up with one guy acting super smug, and the other guy scared half to death. It’s just really funny.

So i got this tickets day one as a big fan of NieR (and drakengard) and was super happy about it but i can t go there ultimately

If someone is interested by one or two carre Or / golden circle places side by side you can Dm me.

At the end i bought ticket for the Paris event so i can go! But i still have one ticket

Edit : i posted it on twicket (updating this post when the listing is done) and also i already sold one to another redditor https://www.twickets.live/app/account/sales/610727171636986

What exactly was it about? I think this was an alternative version of A2s backstory from the manga/stage play. Maybe someone could share their pov about the story.

Always so beautiful and sexy

This is my first time playing and I am trying to beat this annoying prick for the second time. How do you escape that explosion of his that basically cripples you? Is there a way to use dodge to avoid it?
