Guilty Pleasures

[Jhale M.]

Probably the most guilty pleasure thing I have is sexual so I won't say it...
On the other hand, I have a few I can share. I also like Once Upon A Time (but I got turned off by the 4th or second half of the 3rd season (it was hard to keep track) and ended up not watching it anymore. I think it is an awesome show, but it is based on Disney and I hate Disney, but it feels more like what Disney should be... But it is also a soap opera where some of the things are just not realistic but I just like how it is all about positivity in a dark world (although it stays dark too much in my opinion).

Surprisingly, I may not have any with video games. Maybe you could count me playing RPG Maker games that people would typically complain about, but I don't believe I should feel guilty for it. I like art that is considered amateur or just bad because it shows the humanity of a person (but it does depend on style still).

I guess I could also say Marvel vs Capcom Infinite is a guilty pleasure because I know how much people hate it and it does have some amateurish design problems, but overall it is a really great competitive fighting game, arguably the best and I wish it had gotten more DLC characters.

Lastly, I might have a new and powerful guilty pleasure with Final Fantasy Tactics Battleground on Twitch, where you can basically gamble (between two teams so the odds aren't that bad) and even have a character with your name participate in a fight and give you experience points. I don't know how the bot-oriented nature of the chat/viewer engagement works yet, but I still can just waste so many hours on it. Unlike SaltyBet (which is similar and maybe involved with the same people) you don't have to use an external website to bet. You can also educate yourself before battles happen if you are sharp enough.

I also used to watch a ton of Ocarina of Time randomizer (I probably will start with Majora's Mask when that becomes more complete/common) but I got tired of watching it and it now has no value most of the time. I realized that randomizing a game makes it lose its meaning since there is no intention behind it. I probably would be hooked again if people started tailor making switched up versions of the game where challenges compound together effectively.

I don't have any guilty pleasures, as that would imply that I feel any shame about enjoying them .

I mean, there are definitely things I enjoy that most people think are weird since I'm a guy, but I kind of just like things in general if they are good at what they attempt to do.

Like I like several romcom anime, like Wotakoi: Love Is Hard for Otaku or Kaguya-sama: Love Is War.

I like several shojo manga, and actually my favorite manga ever is Angel Sanctuary by Kaori Yuki (I also really liked the Cain Saga by her as well).

I think Final Fantasy X-2 is one of the best Final Fantasy games of all time.

But again, I'm cool with the fact I like those things so not really guilty.

EDIT: Also on the subject of cheesy pop music stars: Toxic by Britney Spears is a really well composed song that sounds super cool and I'll fight anyone who disagrees :B.

Well my three most prominent pleasures are displayed prominently in my profile picture, though I guess they wouldn't necessarily be something I feel guilt over if I display them so proudly would they?

Okay I've got one now. Game making. It's a waste of time and money that I know I'm not serious about in any way shape or form, that I often perform to the detriment of far more productive things I could be doing instead, yet here I am. Every few months I'll take a few months off but I keep coming back, knowing full well I'm still just wasting my time.

I love playing video games a lot. I can spand hours playing my fav game, that's bad

I guess people really didn't like Ready Player One. I don't know why? I found it enjoyable. My dad loves the movie. I also don't get why people complain about a movie with a big evil Corporation when big evil corporations like that are absolutely real. I guess I could consider that movie be a guilty pleasure.

I'm a guy. I like being a guy, it's nice. But when Girls Just Wanna Have Fun comes on, I'll sing along if nobody's around. It's such a fun, upbeat song that is a great fusion of lyrics and soundtrack, I love it!

I like South Park. It is satire of current politics and the producers think opposite of what they create. Do not let me watch current political news. My blood pressure would go up to the roof. I used to watch Ghost Adventure, but it became boring for me with dramatic. Instead of just going to check for ghost and move on.

Not Death Battle itself, but similar shows and stuff on youtube. Knowing which fictional character or faction could beat up another appeals to my inner 8 year old. Also I'm a sucker for in-universe lore and junk in general, so knowing the ins and outs of how certain abilities work or how much force it takes to blow up a planet is pretty interesting. It's definitely not the type of thing I tell people I'm into though, cuz admittedly a lot of members and aspects of the versus community are pretty cringy lol.
