I recently watched Violent Evergarden + The movie and I thought it was genuinely one of the most beautiful animes I've ever seen. It's not normally something that I care much about with anime but it got me wondering what out there was really the peak of this.

OH but I love to absolutely binge series of animes so if you have something please only tell me if it's 100% complete so that I can watch something beautiful from start to finish without feeling disappointed that it never got a second season or was only 1/5th of the manga or something!

EDIT: I wasn't expecting so many responses. Thank you everyone I really appreciate it. I can't take the time to respond to everyone but I'll try where appropriate and if I end up watching your suggestion I'll make sure to come back and let you know.

I really love Kimi Ni Todoke, although I think there were a few issues with the pacing of the anime in seasons 1 and 2 I really loved season 3 and was delighted to find out not only is there a manga but the manga is complete!

So I'm wondering. Should I hop into the manga immediately where season 3 ends or should I read the manga from the start? I'm not sure how thrilled I would be to go back to before Sawako finally kissed her boy and got over a lot of shit. But if the general opinion is that reading the manga from the start is better I'll probably do that.

Appreciate your thoughts.

Hi folks,

I'm a big tower defence fan but one sub-genre I particularly like is when I have to manage the base and ensure I properly staff my defences and build it properly. I'm looking for something that's less about tower defence and more about survival with defence aspects. I don't mind if the defence is towers or people with weapons just that I have a home base that I'm trying to protect.

Bonus points if the game includes scavenging for resources to build my base/defence etc.

Would prefer 3D FPS style although I am open to suggestions if the game is good regardless of this.

Already played:

• Rimworld
• 7 Days to Die
• Mindrusty
• RiftBreaker
• X-Morph Defence
• Creeper World 4
• Orcs Must Die series
• Fallout 4 (although I'd argue that barely counts)

Edit (Games I've also played but forgot to mention that people suggested)

• Factorio
• Kenshi
• They Are Billions

I just got into Doom modding recently and have been trying out loads of different mods and I knew Ashes was VERY highly recommended. I told myself I was going to play tons of other stuff and not touch it until later... My brain being an easily influenced dopamine fiend thought differently.

I played through the whole thing as quickly as I could, I loved every second of it. The story and setting are genuinely amazing and I agree with pretty much everyone else when I echo that they could have sold this as a full title on steam and I would have gladly paid for it...

But now I've been depressed as hell for the last 2 days because when I finished it I can't find anything else to fill the hole it left in my life... Do I just replay it again and find every secret? Try some different options out? Play it on the hardest difficulty? I feel like I'm going to be chasing this feeling for awhile. It's rare that a game affects me as deeply as this, it's usually only very special games that manage to hold this kind of sway over me... I just didn't expect it to be a Doom mod of all things.

I need Episode 3 like an addict needs his next hit.

To clarify I have currently played and finished: Episode 1, 2 and Dead Man Walking. I started Hard Reset but was a little salty cos it was a different character and story but I will check it out soon as just knowing there exists more content made for the game keeps a little bit of hope left inside me for now.

I apologise if this is a common question in the community. I couldn't see any recommendations thread / sticky about it.

I recently played through MyHouse.wad and had an absolutely fantastic time with it and it really opened my eyes to what is possible with such an old game series.

I've watched some YT videos about Doom mods but I prefer to hear suggestions from real people plus I have a specific caveat that I'd like to make.

I would like to know the best/most suggested mods but from WORST to best. Essentially I'd like to save the best for last as to avoid other mods seeming worse by comparison if I play the best ones first. I know this is probably a highly subjective opinion based question but regardless I'd appreciate the communities input and recommendations all the same.

Hi all

I recently played Ultrakill and suffice to say really loved it, however I was really surprised to find it wasn't actually finished yet as I thought the game had been out for years by now so it left me feeling a little bitter.

Despite this I really wanted to dive deeper into the modern boomer shooter genre but specifically for games that are actually finished/complete.

Is there a list of recommendations specifically to fit this niche before I dive into any other games blind and find them unfinished?

Once there was a man made of paper. He was easily ripped and incredibly fragile. Thankfully the paper man had a nigh unbreakable shield that he hid behind. The shield had been crafted by the paper man after numerous painful battles. The shield however grew stronger after each encounter and the paper man cared for it well.

After many battles the paper man had become untouchable, thanks to his shield. However the paper man soon noticed that he could not put the shield down. Before the paper man realised what had happened the shield was always being held in front of him, other people in the village could barely see him from hiding behind the shield, but they didn't seem to mind too much, so he decided to keep the shield up and keep battling.

A long time passed and the paper man had became someone the villagers of the town would rely on to deal with difficult and dangerous quests. The paper man reveled in being relied on and knew he could take on any task with the help of his unbreakable shield.

However one day after a series of long and stressful battles the paper man noticed the shield had become particularly heavy, so much so that people could see more of his face and he could barely hold the shield in place.

The paper man pretended nothing had changed and continued to battle day after day.

One morning as the paper man was getting ready for the day as he went to pick up his shield he found that it had become too heavy to lift. The paper man couldn't make sense of it, only yesterday had he won many battles with his shield and he had felt strong and the villagers celebrated his victories with him.

However today, looking at the shield on the floor and his frail paper arms, he realised he couldn't hide behind his unbreakable shield anymore. The paper man didn't know what to do, he couldn't face the village without his shield to hide behind, so he chose the only option he thought was left.

He ran away and hid in a cave.

At first, the villagers would come to check on the paper man and ask when he would return to fight their battles and go on adventures, but they soon moved on with their lives as they had their own battles to fight and couldn't rely on him anymore. The paper man spent a long time in the cave, still unable to lift the shield. Even attempts to make a new, lighter shield failed as every new shield crumbled in his hands. After a long time of hiding in the cave the villagers forgot about the paper man and moved on with their lives. The paper man didn't mind as he'd rather be alone than face them without his shield.

After a long time the paper man decided to take a walk into the village as he had heard that a new book store had opened and he wanted to pay it a visit. Since the villagers had forgotten him he found it easier to hide without his shield and could wander the streets paying no mind to anyone and them doing the same in return.

After some time avoiding the villagers the paper man found the store and entered. It was packed from floor to ceiling with every manner of book he could have imagined. He spent a long time browsing the subjects on offer and reading the spines of the books. The paper man had been so engrossed in the books that he failed to notice that the owner of the book store had walked up beside him and was looking right at him. The owner was a tall and strong man who wore a large and shiny shield strapped to his back.

The owner smiled in a way that didn't reach his eyes and handed a book to the paper man and told him that the book would help him understand himself better. The paper man, feeling naked and exposed reached out and took the book from the store owner. The owner said that he knew the paper man would come here someday and kept this book aside, waiting for this day.

The paper man opened the book and found it was full of hundreds of stories of paper people like him. All their pain, confusion and loneliness reaching out beyond the scribbles on the paper and into his heart and gut, like a cold but comforting claw. The paper man felt a new kind of fear well up inside himself. A strange mixture of excitement and terror at what he would learn from the stories and of himself.

The paper man couldn't understand how the owner knew, he had hid himself so well all this time even when he couldn't bring himself to wield a shield, he had kept his distance from the villagers and kept quiet.

There was nothing to hide behind in this moment of raw exposure. The store owner could see right through the paper man.

The owner reached behind himself and unbuckled his shield, holding it out in front of him like a large metallic plate. The paper man looked down and saw In its reflection himself standing beside the reflection of the owner, but the owner had changed, he was a paper man too. The owner smiled again at the paper man and put a hand on his shoulder. He explained that the paper man wasn't alone and told him to keep the book and if he had any questions he could always come back to the book store.

The paper man returned to his cave, book in hand. He didn't know there were other paper people like him, he thought he was alone. The paper man spent a long time reading the book, speaking with the book store owner and learning about himself and the other paper people.

Some time later in his cave the paper man put down his latest book and tried to pick up his indestructible shield. He found that he could hold it again, not quite as high as before, but it was possible. A strange feeling washed over the paper man, he realised he could return to the village with his shield in hand and return to his adventures. He thought that he would be happy if he could wield the shield again, but he realised that he no longer wanted to hold his shield or any other shield for that matter. He wanted people to see him for who he was without hiding, just as the bookstore owner had.

The paper man fixed the shield to his back, tucked his books into his pack and set out for the village, determined to no longer hide behind his cursed shield but armed with new knowledge of himself and others like him.
