MY SECRET GUILTY PLEASURE!

Adult Visual Novels

 The Old Block has decided to experiment with an AI Assistant today, to delve into a guilty pleasure that engages him as a reader, writer, and gamer. If you are old enough to read this blog, you are mature enough to enjoy adult visual novels, (also known as VN’s). The Old Block may also provide downloadable copies of suggested suggestive novels based on your response to today’s blog. (Please indicate whether you would prefer a male or female protagonist, to enjoy the proper point-of-view!) Play them alone, or share the love with your partner for a more intimate experience!

Adult visual novels come in many categories and subcategories that offer a unique and immersive storytelling experience that caters to adult audiences. Here are just a scant few of the joys of adult visual novels:

SAFE AND PRIVATE EXPLORATION

Exploration of mature themes: Adult visual novels often explore complex and mature themes such as love, relationships, sexuality, and personal growth. These themes are handled with depth and sensitivity, allowing players to engage with thought-provoking narratives.

SELF-IMMERSION

Character development: Adult visual novels usually feature well-developed and multidimensional characters that allow players to empathize with their struggles and triumphs. As players interact with these characters, they can uncover their motivations, fears, and desires, leading to a deeper emotional connection. Players can also steer the emotions and passions of some leading and minor characters to enhance their pleasure.

THE DRIVER’S SEAT

Choice-driven narratives: One of the most exciting aspects of adult visual novels is the ability to shape the story through player choices. Players can make important decisions that impact all aspects of the game, leading to multiple branching paths and endings. This element of interactivity adds replay value and fosters a sense of personal investment in the narrative. (Save often, because some choices are irreversible and have permanent, negative consequences!)

ANIMATED LOVE SCENES

Visual and audio immersion: Adult visual novels often feature stunning artwork, animations, and soundtracks that enhance the sensual gaming experience. The detailed character designs, elaborate backgrounds, and atmospheric music create a rich, immersive world that draws players in and captivates their senses.

USE YOUR OWN NAME

Emotional engagement: Adult visual novels are renowned for their ability to evoke a wide range of emotions in players, from laughter and joy to sadness and heartbreak. By delving into the character's personal struggles and emotional dilemmas, players can experience a deeply emotional journey that resonates with their own experiences and feelings. Some VN’s offer the ability to change the personal and familial relationships of the protagonist to the supporting cast of characters in the story, which adds urgency, emotional content, and personal consequences to the gaming experience. (Would you say or do that to your own mother?)

In summary, the joys of adult visual novels lie in their exploration of mature themes, character development, choice-driven narratives, visual and audio immersion, and emotional engagement. These games offer a unique storytelling experience that challenges players to think, feel, and reflect on the complexities of adult life.

Is she a flower or a weed?

  Okay, ladies, turn your heads away for a moment. I need to render some mental images and pose a few queries to the men folk in attendance today. Yes, this is the “Old Block Church of What is on Your Filthy Mind”. You are a man, right? That instantly qualifies you as a purveyor of the almighty three “F’s”! (Food, Fighting, and F*cking, for the coarse among us. Gentlemen never use such terms, whether in mixed company or not, and certainly not in church!) So, the question on the table is, “Can you discern whether she is a flower or a weed?” Look around the congregation, and point that powerful digit of discernment at each lady in attendance, asking yourself, (or the digit), “Is she a flower or a weed?” (If you are a gynecological botanist, you are instantly disqualified from this exercise. You know way too much already!) Allow me to lay the groundwork for this little social experiment. Some girls are like delicate, fragrant flowers, but if they are in someone else’s garden, you can

My Personal Influencer!

The first article I had ever written in the 80's, sold to an international martial arts magazine. The article was written on an old manual typewriter that poked holes in the paper as I "hen-pecked" my way from start to finish. The article was inspired by two of my BFAMs, one of whom is now a legendary Capoeira Master, and the other who is now a poetic, master pastry chef! I was a super prolific writer in those days, after having majored in Commercial Art and minored in Journalism, ("Thank you, Mr. Adams and Ms. Dixon"). I wrote everything from product descriptions to novelty button slogans. I honed my writing skills by working in a one-man resume-writing office where my commercial art skills allowed me to produce creative resumes for performers, dancers, and other artistic clients. The marriage of writing and art served me well and later included music and songwriting, in my own recording studio, (FHBR Productions). I continued to write articles in local newspap

THE MEASUREMENT OF A MAN

Image
How do you measure the stature, significance and supremacy of a man? Do you check his bank account, or his net worth? (Lawyers do.) Do you weigh his life’s work or his accomplishments in the world of business? Is he a famous actor, sports figure or entertainer? Does his name appear on buildings, build boards or buses? Can you remember his name better than the members of your own family? Who the heck is he, anyway? Look at the image above. Study it as if a college quiz was forthcoming at the end of this blog. Boxing gloves! He must be a famous boxer, whom you never heard of right? Check out the hairdo, facial hair and shirt. You can find nothing there to give away his identity, right? He was just a regular guy, by all counts. His name is and was Lewis Chester Brewer, (it should have been Bruster, but he came into the world through a different maternal portal. Darn those maternal portals!) He died in my arms, several years ago, coughing up blood, and gasping for air to the last few sec
