Truly, the life of a nomad is difficult. One must constantly move to find new lands. One uses the nearby resources to its fullest extent, before shortly leaving to find more. It is the same with any wanderer on the internet. One constantly searches for new sources of entertainment, to get rid of this boredom. Some find fertile land and learn to farm, though some continue to search for new lands, like a nomad. Well, that was a poor attempt at an analogy. Well, to get things straight, I'm leaving. Not like it matters, anyway. My disappearance would help preserve the already scarce energy within the universe, carefully maintained by the incubators. So, eh- the true purpose of this thread isn't to announce my leaving, which I can do quietly, but to leave just a few words. Announcing my disappearance is just a consequence of leaving my last words, after all. Sure, I say a few but everyone would realise that this would be a relatively lengthy message. Now, how I ventured into Fuwanovel? I don't remember. I was sure I was reverse-searching a certain CG, and I ended up here. Fuwa didn't really interest me all that much, though. I made an account since I wanted to mess around the former Games and Chatter forum (Now replaced by the highly inferior Coliseum of Chatter). I eventually found myself in a certain roleplaying site, and met its eccentric leader and her staff, whom I enjoyed being with. It was fun while it lasted, certainly. It was such a shame. After its disappearance, I returned to Fuwa- which was as stagnant as ever. Nothing changed between those months of inactivity (Well, I did notice the missing torrents). Since I've never really gotten interest in visual novels, I remained in the Coliseum, waiting for people to fight. It was then that the FuwaChat had appeared, which was disastrous. Still, it did its purpose. By then, I was able to fight people directly, in real time, rather than wait for each post. It was a good addition, and I gladly abused my moderation powers to their fullest extent. And thus, that's the summary of what I did on Fuwa. It was 10% contributing to the community and 90% fighting other people. Time well spent. And thus, I leave you with my final words: Death to each and everyone one of you. I mean- eh... my apologies, that was my inner voice talking. I'll voice it a little better. May the rest of your lives be uneventful. Now, that sounds better, doesn't it? ... Right... I'm sure you're expecting individual messages as well, so- eh, why not? I'll leave some messages to the people I've stepped on, spit on, insulted, and fought. I'll also leave some messages to those I messed around with when I was bored. We're still waiting on you, lad. Kaguya Ah, Kaa-chan, I've never talked to you in a looong time! Do you still love me? I hope you do! Well, eh, I missed your old name. Members of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (الدولة الإسلامية في العراق والشام) HMN You're haram. Mustkill You're haram. Monmon You're a high level of haram. The highest level, even. Kiriririri More than two 'ri's are haram. Aho inu. Mugi You are a high level of haram as well, but whatever. You're not Arab anyway. Linova You are also haram, but not that it matters. Babiker Not you; you're halal. Oh, thanks for sending Kanra over. I bet Kanra caused a mess. Schutzstaffel Nayleen Nayleen and I used to be friends. Now he's an aho aho German. I'm still waiting on that beer of yours. Tay Your Majesty. Give me admin please. Thanks. If you think I forgot to leave a message for you, then you were probably a bunch of lowlives who will never amount to anything. Well, eh, farewell. I leave you with a top secret image I took from Pyongyang.

I hate it when I just want to enter a thread but instead click on the persons' username and so my avatar is plastered onto their profile until 5 other people visit and makes me look like some stalker

Introduction This is probably a fucking terrible idea but I felt like making a blog to talk/rant/cry/be dumb about stuff. I'll try to be serious about mostly everything I say here, but I doubt I'll manage to not end up lightly flaming or saying bullshit sometimes, sorry in advance about that. T_T I'll use this post to talk about my trip to Japan as well since blogging two lines would be hella lame. Japan Alright, where should I start? Well, my nationality might be Brazilian but my ethnicity is Japanese, so I always had a bit of interest on Japan. I lived there when I was a baby but that doesn't counts anyway. I went there with my grandparents, younger brother and fucking four cousins - two of them stayed with their parents there though -, just imagine the disaster the whole thing was. Getting everyone ready on the airport was hell, the airplane was hell, getting our luggage was hell, bathroom breaks were hell, the whole thing was basically hell if you didn't got it yet. I don't really talk to any of them aside from one of the cousins, which is the closest to a regular family interaction that I have. I call him Mini-Bitch because of reasons and that's how I'll be referring to him through the post. When we actually landed in Japan and got out of the plane, holy moly what a cold place. We went straight for my aunt's house where we all would stay for the whole trip and got received with a really nice dinner, assorted traditional foods on the table and some fucking delicious apple juice on the fridge. No, seriously, that juice is worse than drugs, Mini-Bitch and I bought it wherever we found it, that shit is fucking dangerous lmfao. Food was delicious, seriously, the meals felt solid but never really too much that you'd feel heavy, unless you're dumb like me and orders a goddamn three plates large curry dish and eat it all, then you're probably going to die for around an hour just like I did. Not gonna lie though, the lack of meat was hard to deal with after a while. Even when there was meat on the dishes it wasn't the same thing, mostly due to how they prefer to prepare it which is not exactly to my tastes, but still a bit above decent. Fucking drink machines every fucking corner sucked my coins dry on my first week, took me a while to notice where the fuck they were all going. Keep that in mind if you ever visit Japan, 100~130 yen for a good drink basically anywhere might not look like a lot but it'll consume your whole wallet before you notice. I visit a shit ton of places but I'll only talk about a few of those, either because it was really cool or because it left a great impression for whatever reason. First of all, Osu Kanon had a shopping district that was pretty legit when compared to the other places I visited, maybe it's just because it was the first place I visited when I got there but I'll definitely try to go there again someday. During christmas I went to somewhere-whose-name-I-never-got-to-know and had my first white christmas in my whole life, such magic (Christmas happens during Summer here). I had my first snowball fight, there's something simply unique to feeling your body slowly hardening due to cold after being hit a thousand times by dumb-shits who don't know how to aim when you team up, and I also built a failure of a snowman that I love a lot, I'll never forget you Pedrito. (´._.`) New Year was w/e, we just had a kinda fancy dinner with crab (which is not exactly that good anyway) and some booze - best part right here. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that Japan has some delicious alcoholic drinks and I'd love to have tried more of them but I couldn't buy anything since I'm not old enough, so all I got my hands on was whatever my aunt had lying around on her fridge and occasionally something I managed to convince her to buy me. ヽ(͡◕ ͜ʖ ͡◕)ﾉ Talking about booze, I'll leave my rant here that I couldn't find a single decent vodka there! End of rant, so let's get back to cool places. I really liked the planetarium and the aquarium since I had never been to any of those before. I saw the stars Yumemi, I saw them ;------------;. Went to Disney again and that place is seriously overrated. It's a good park and all that but you can't compare it to other Japanese parks or stuff like Universal Studios, Disney is all about making dreams come true and believing in magic. While I look like I'm flaming it, I spent my whole fucking day singing "Do you believe in magic?" so ヽ(◉◡◔)ﾉヽ(◉◡◔)ﾉヽ(◉◡◔)ﾉヽ(◉◡◔)ﾉ. I won't talk about the other parks because I'm not really into amusement parks, they were really fun though, I just don't get all crazy over it. Alright, let's move to Tokyo now. I visited some cool places that once again I never got to know the name, had some good food, slept on a good hotel and managed to get some booze once again woooooo. I visited Akiba twice and God what a crazy place. First time there was when I met Ren, who I'll talk more about in the end. It's an amazing place that is really fun to just hang around and look at the showcases, specially the figures. I'm not a collector but I got myself some just cuz I tilted and felt like spending money that I could have saved for more VNs, food or clothes. Honestly, I never thought I'd ever see that much porn on the shelters of a store that wasn't specifically a porn store lmfao, gotta love sofmap. I'll try to post pictures later or maybe just make a video about the shit I bought, dunno about it yet. Oh yeah, idols are fucking everywhere, love live is like cancer jesus macaroni penis what a joy it was to listen to u's songs everywhere. Hm... I think that's enough to define that my trip was amazing and I'd love to visit the country again, fuck, I'm actually going to try and become a teacher there. Talking about teachers, let's talk about Ren now. Oh boy, how do I start this? Ren is a fucking giant and I'm a dwarf, that was basically how people saw us there probably. I came out of the subway station, first thing I see is a tall foreigner with a red-beanie, just like the one Ren said that he'd be wearing, I just wasn't expecting him to be like, 20~30 cm+ taller than me (ﾟーﾟ). He showed me around the place, taught me the good places to get some cheap stuff and explained about a lot of things, such as sofmap's green/blue warnings on used games and how pre-orders work. We had some quality-time you know? Talking about weeb shit and eating McDonald's with no french fries, btw McDonalds became a thing that I always have to mention when I just wanna drop a random comment to some thread of his or a reply to him, I don't remember how it started but it was probably me being retarded. There's not much to talk about our meeting really, we went around the stores hunting for porn games to talk about, had some laughs looking at how broken their english was on game covers, had some McDonald's, quality-time, more laughs as he would hit his head on signs placed on the ceiling of the stores (LMFAOJA8FHEAFHA) and we shared life philosophies that can't even be expressed in digital letters, fuck binary. Great times, buddy, great times. Until he started showing me Love Live hentai, that fucker ruined my idols forever (ಠ_ಠ). I said it before though I can't recall the context, but I'm definitely going to kill you. I think that's it. I did no edits and I don't think I'll do any just for the fun factor that is reading something written literally straight from my mind, as in I thought about something and wrote it down immediately without thinking about how I'd order things (Akiba was before Christmas). I just thought about it and I actually only mentioned Mini-Bitch once here even though I made it look like he was going to be present everywhere lol. He's a piece of shit but he made this trip a lot funnier than I expected so shout-out to him though he'll never read this nor know about the existence of this blog . Okay, I think that's it, I'll add an @edit below if I remember something relevant to add. Thanks for reading everyone.

2001 version comes with seperated bgm and game disks. You would need to insert/mount the bgm disk/iso (in my case, it is bfs_game.bin)

life in a nutshell

The fact that they fart rainbows and poop butterflies (or so I've been told).

I love how this thread's survived for so long

You do a regular practice with a card that has the same skill. So for example a card with a "Perfect Charm" skill will only level that skill if you do practice with another card that has the "Perfect Charm" skill. If the card is level 1 skill and you use another level 1 skill card to practice, it'll level up to level 2. If you want a level 3 skill card you'll need to do practice with another level 2 card (that's a 100% guaranteed level up), but if you want to risk it you can use another level 1 skill card again, there's a 50% chance it'll level up, this chance keeps decreasing the higher level your card is (from level 7 to level 8 it's like a 1% chance) so if you want guaranteed level ups, only use cards of the same exact skill level. Exact figures if you want to level up cards to level 3 and higher using only level 1 skill cards (courtesy of Cychun87): lvl2 -> lvl3: success rate of 45-50%, my exact figures were 48.2% so if we factor in random bad/good luck I think that's a good ball park to fit in lvl3 -> lvl4: success rate of 20-25%, my figures were 23.7% lvl4 -> lvl5: success rate of 8-12%, my figures were 8.3% lvl6 -> lvl7: success rate of 2-5%, my figures were 3.7% lvl7 -> lvl8: success rate of less than 1%, my figures were about .5% Personally I've gotten my UR Kotori up to level 5 using only level 1 skill cards, but I think after that it's just impossible to get that lucky so it's probably best to go down the guaranteed route after. If you only want to go the guaranteed route you'll need 128 cards for level 8

What children of anime romance have to look forward too.

Wow, lots of attractive people! Haha, that's great. Not many girls have posted a picture so I feel the need. Ignore the derpy face I'm making.

Hi all. I've been out of the community loop for years thanks to life events but I've been slowly working away at the To Heart 2 X rated translation and only just posted the first new patch in years a couple of days ago. The project is basically just me by myself and is 80% complete. I posted a summary on reddit of the project progress here: http://redd.it/36tawo Nero suggested I join these forums and it's probably a good idea since maintaining momentum and seeing enthusiasm from people using the patch helps keep me motivated. I guess I should probably start a project thread on this forum once I figure out how to. Edit: Here is a project thread for it now: http://forums.fuwanovel.net/index.php?/topic/10250-to-heart-2-x-rated-translation-project-alpha6-patch-available/ I usually go by the name conman though that seems to be used a lot so I've used my project team (hah it's just me) name for the forum.

Hello to the fuwanovel community. Name's darkkira1332, just call me Kira. I have been lurking the forums for about 3-4 years, Ikr, I'm a creep. Just decided to make an account (though I used to have one, but for some reason, I can't access it anymore). Anyway, I love visual novels. Eversince I first stumbled on one about 9 years ago. First VN: Becoming what I am today: And thats it for my introduction. tldr; I love VNs, I love lolis and flast chests, and I cry from a good story. -tips hat- Nice to meet you all, try to put up with me, and have a nice day.

Unacceptable: KonoSora (obviously), Divi-Dead (TL occasionally ruins the mood and makes the mystery quite hard to follow), Gin'iro (I don't think it even counts as translation...), all troll machine translations and some nukiges I don't remember. Borderline - Cross+Channel. Now that's a rather special case. The TL is definitely readable and sounds more or less fine, but from what I heard it still butchered quite a lot (since the original is apparently untranslatable). I still haven't given the JP version a try though, so I can't say for sure. Passable: Phoenix Wright (not exactly a VN, but it's worth mentioning), HoshiMemo, Otoboku, Rewrite. One important thing must be noted here - I have read the majority of translated titles before I learned JP, so I could only spot obviously bad stuff back then. There's a good chance I wouldn't have found anything in Otoboku and Rewrite if I have read them earlier (I don't remember what exactly, but there were some details and mistranslations that annoyed me there). I probably bumped into a few more such titles, but they weren't bad enough to remember. Phoenix Wright is a special case, since it's a localization, not a translation. It's done more or less right, but some clues that relied on kanji and puns were butchered, and in some cases American setting just doesn't work and some things seem completely out of place. Satisfactory: I'd place the vast majority of translated VNs I have read here. That might be because I have rather low expectations when it comes to translations in general, but in most cases there's really nothing terribly wrong with them. I'm somewhat forgiving when it comes to writing quality though, so I'm not too bothered by some awkward expressions as long as the TL is accurate. Anyway, people who really care about details and nuances, probably will learn Japanese sooner or later (like I did). For others, most translations should be acceptable. Excellent: There's no such thing. Translation is always different then the original, and I want to experience stories exactly how the author wrote them (if possible). That's why I dislike TLs by default. Needless to say, I hate all localizations with passion (especially Americanizations). I don't have different standards for Fan and commercial TLs, mainly because they generally are on a very similar level. Actually, Fan-TLs tend to be a bit more accurate, while commercial ones tend to be written a little better English-wise (at least most of the time).

We steal other peoples traditions and claim them as our own.

Anime characters are relatively easy to make renders out of, it's not like you're forced to do it if you think it's too hard too. Sometimes it's also impossible to find a render for that particular character and you have no choice. I'll probably dump random signatures here from time to time, I need to work on my skills.

Not everyone knows about renders nor about how signatures are made.

Really liking Owari no Seraph. I can see how some people might try and make a connection to Attack on Titan with it, it does have some similarities, although to be honest it's not often you really find totally "fresh" ideas... Everything's pretty much been done. That said, I don't mind it. I might be less of a critic though, considering I have a fascination with vampires (not that retarded Twilight bs btw) and rampaging giants (Titans) just kinda seemed bland for me. I did watch AoT though, I loved the atmosphere it gave off. Anyway, I like the MC's reason for fighting. It's rather cliche and typical, but at the same time it gives off a good feel considering the circumstances so it kind of makes sense. Oh. And Shinoa. Need I say more?

keep in mind that running games in compatibility mode is not the holy grail, when it comes to playing the olden ones. in many cases you´ll still face difficulties with displaying the game correctly in fullscreen mode. because those games we´re talking function without having high requirements, its advisable to play them on a surrogate-pc with windows xp installed. should be sufficient in most cases

Is it an original or obtained from a torrent? If I recall correctly, Bittersweet Fools didn't had any TL; it needs to run in japanese locale and I'd recommend trying to run it in a compatibility mode as well, either the 98/ME or XP/2000 modes. Check the options and see if the sounds isn't accidentally turned off by default and try to chose an appropriate sound driver if the game requires it. Certain external audio cards and adapters (like the ones used by gaming headsets) often have problems with playing sound in older games; some of those issues can be resolved by turning off sound acceleration in the windows sound options. There is a possibility as well the game folders might not be nested properly, or the audio filepaths are wrong. Post a screencap of the main folder and I'll see what can be done. Bittersweet Fools was Minori's debut title. Are you interested in translating it, or something?

I confessed the exact same thing about a month ago.

Well, yeah, but what exactly does Seraph do to make itself stand out? Sure, it has one likable character, but is that enough to put it on a level above mediocrity? The ideas in that anime have been beaten to the ground in entertainment media, and it doesn't even work as an emotional piece due to how uninspired and standard the development scenes are. I think DanMachi is better because it has moments of high tension and emotional character development. Sure, it wasn't anything thought-provoking, but at least Lili's story makes it really easy to sympathize with her and grow more attached to. While I don't necessarily disagree with using cliches to develop a character, I feel that the way the story is told is just not compelling enough to warrant its use in Seraph. The characters' backstories are too far off for the audience to feel a connection with them, and to build things on top of a base that doesn't work just makes the cliche even more annoying. Really? I never really considered the cooking aspect to be anything noteworthy in One Piece. I thought of it more as a storytelling utility to bring out the best in Sanji's character (I think he's really cool too). But I wouldn't call the cooking battles in SnS anything laughable, since they can throw out some pretty catchy tidbits about how the food is cooked. I can't say for certain that these informational bits are accurate, but they seem believable. And the way the writer works in a twist with how the meals are prepared are both really interesting and really cool.

ur not worth shit

You would own a huge collection if we had that button.

Confession: I rarely ever brush my teeth (<20 times in past four years). Because I'm a carnivore, I eat 75% meat (no exaggeration) and no fruits or vegetables, I don't get much acid and the meat itself acts as a natural brush. Just recently my dentist thought he saw plaque in two places, so he did minor drilling to check and do preventative measures. I had my mouth drilled in two places, neither had plaque but just really dense bone. Every time I go to the dentist, I briefly brush my teeth so the hygenist doesn't have to work incredibly long, and I can get out of the place faster, as I have better things to do. Oh right, the dentist always says my teeth are in great condition. Confession TL;DR: I have glorious teeth of the gods.

This "emptiness" that you're feeling right now is what many people refer to as the 'void'. You experienced something that is so amazing and had such a big impact on you that after it ended, you feel like part of you went 'missing'. You feel as though you will never going to experience the same thing ever again. You don't know what to do with your life, and the fact that everyone around you are oblivious to what you've just experienced adds to that. But don't worry, it will go away in time. What should you do? Simple. Go and experience more things. Remember that KonoSora is just your first visual novel, and as your gateway VN, it's going to leave quite an impact. There are tons of other amazing VNs out there that are as good, or even better, than KonoSora Edit: Aniki threatened me at gunpoint to recommend Saya no Uta

Actually there is sequel (fandisc) to the game but it is not translated. Now you have to read more VNs of course. Feels and moe are best. Edit: Read Saya no Uta next

Nice job.

I never really uploaded any of me on any forums or anywhere online until now, I suppose it's a start ^ ^

A freaking bad-ass! If you haven't play this game go do it right nao! Yo that game is sooo dark. It's kinda creepy but it was really good. Btw, the truth is always an option. DO NOT feel bad if she's making you feel uncomfortable. Just be straight with her dude. Like, come the f*ck on it's so f*cked up when people can't be real with themselves and other people. Plus, she's a friend from the internet, it's not even like you're telling her to her face. I know it's none of my business, but trust me. This is advice from a woman, and I'll tell you that them bitches not worth the anxiety.

Well, yes, but the costumes are paid DLC. Paid. Not coming with the game. Not free. I'm still on the fence about the game. I'm sure as hell not buying Yosuke cross-dressing DLC. Is anybody? That's not really a rhetorical question. Will anybody, anywhere actually buy this? It seems pretty much certain that they won't make as much money as it cost them to make it, at the very least...

Okay I finally figured out how to do this. Thanks for your help! I apologize for this pic, I'm bad at fake smiling.

Congratulations Shinji

Yeah, the "そういうことだ" line was a little bit off, but everything else in your tl seems perfectly fine (looking without context, that is). The "……失礼します" line seems to be Pabloc's own misinterpretation of the JP text. We don't have enough context for 「だが、現に我々は狂い、自分を保つためにあらゆる方法を模索して来た」 but unless the curse itself explicitly makes you mad, this line probably means that the potential of being cursed made them lose their minds (not literally) in their search for a way to preserve themselves (I imagine these guys were doing something really terrible using "lifting the curse" as an excuse). 自分を保つ can mean both preserve oneself, and preserve one's sanity which makes the whole thing even more confusing without proper context. But the way this line hits me is closer to your interpretation, as it was probably not they who were literally mad / confused, but the way they approached the situation and their actions thereafter. I can't really tell without reading the actual VN, though. xD The non-underlined lines are just more literal interpretations of the, more or less, same thing you wrote. So you could just use whichever you think flows better. And your style, in general, reads a lot better than most of his suggestions to me.

yeah that's why I think it was one of the best routes and fuko its just amazing sadly it's the only route that has the other ones are regular drama but they are well written and they got some very good plot twist so it's really fun to read.

Glad to hear it! Congratulations to him

Sorry for the delay everyone, the illuminati was busy working on brainwashing the world, but we finally have a winner for the contest. Congratulations to Mcguffin! You will receive your Steam Key for the game shortly! To everyone else, thank you very much for participating and showing that love for Sachi, there were a lot of really good entries, but unfortunately only one could come out victorious. For those who are still looking to get their hands on this game, there will be another giveaway for a second Steam key on our social media so if you want another chance, make sure you follow us on Facebook and/or Twitter. That is all!

learn japanese faster! And then she told me...

You're old if you remember watching this

Does anyone know their results? If not here's a free test: http://www.16personalities.com/free-personality-test Post your results and discuss.

For those not aware of it, Fuwa is hosting a giveaway for Love At First Sight, a visual novel that was just released on steam. To participate, just complete the following task and post your entry on the giveaway thread. The deadline is around 26 hours from now so you can still do it! Go show Sachi that you're worth a chance! Task: Sachi Usui, a cyclops girl and the main heroine from Love At First Sight is incredibly shy, that's why your task is to write out how you would win over her heart.

Typography: Tear of the Moon Other: Add lots of purple sparklies or something

Fuuko is obliviously the representation of the white male patriarchy.

After discovering that sitting down is a form of oppression, statues of old English authors are oppresive to minorities, that disease names are triggering and that greek mythology should require trigger warnings for students, this seriously (and sadly) doesn't even faze me anymore. We now live in a world where being offended automatically seems to give you entitlement to have it your way. We really need to colonize Mars soon and leave these people here on Earth.

I read Aaeru's old blog and saw that she wanted help with a site to make VNs more popular in the west. I joined the forum (the site wasn't even up yet for real) and offered to help. So yeah I have been here since even before the site launched.

We must cuddle for a minimum of 60 seconds every 120 seconds.

It sounds fishy to me as well, hence I'll contact Uchikoshi and get his confirmation that this is legal and stuff and that we can be guaranteed the funding WILL reach ZE3 before I do anything. I am interested in the project itself too, but I too will be pissed if they were simply capitalizing on the promise of ZE3.
