Sometimes Even Reality Is a Lie! - Ch. 184 - Whenever, Wherever

[AnotherDuck]

Hanging out with a big boobed blond gal. Dude needs to explode.

She's cute and all, but not in the running for cutest.

Does Japan really have people who don’t play video games? I don’t think there’s anyone younger than 50 in America who hasn’t.

 

[ItsThatBriGuy]

Completely overly idealistic result of outing yourself as a gamer. The realistic thing that would happen in that scenario would be getting ostracized by your own family and friends and then descending into an endless spiral of depression and insanity.

And then you wind up here.

So there's a bright side.

 

[ItsThatBriGuy]

Dammit, they stuck the landing on this redemption arc. I hate that I don't hate it.

 

[PhoolCat]

🎵 Don’t like Waluigi,
Oh no.
I love it! Wah!
Oh yeah! 🎶

There is playing games and there's being a gamer. There's a difference.

 

[FortMax]

He had won the victory over himself. He loved Waluigi.

This whole arc was weird for me because it seems so unrealistic and fantastical. I was taught that anything you enjoy is sinful escapism; You should be working harder. Entertainment in general is a waste of time, and liking things only makes you weak and vulnerable because the things you like can be exploited to manipulate you. No adult should be wasting time on video games, or books, or hobbies; They should have a family and a business to support. Of course the sinful diversion would preach that sinful diversions are okay - The author wants to justify the existence of their product. The reality is that everything we like is evil and a means of exploitation, and once anyone else knows you like something you will be relentlessly mocked and abused until you hate it, and you will deserve to be mocked and abused because you sinned.

Yeah, no one comes close to Crossdressing Karou for cutest in this series.
Especially with the Princess outfit.

Thanks for the TL

bro
that's literally "no fun allowed", but applied to your entire life. where the hell did you grow up? and what are the suicide rates there, since that way of life sounds like a surefire way to get burnout and depression.

You know what, bro is probably going in his "dealing with his past" arc as a Romcom manga protag with a Gyaru FMC

The one fundamental truth about life is you will die and nothing you have done will have mattered. You can choose to do things you enjoy or not. It is literally your life and the only one you'll get.

Midwestern USA. Literally worked myself to death at 34, ICU brought me back. Now I'm depressed and my health is destroyed. Protestant Work Ethic for the win.
