When the thread descends into disrespect then I suppose the mods will have a decision to make. Until then it's a VERY worthwhile article, and is something that people have generally known for a while - too much democracy is never a good thing (do note that there are exceptions to the rule.) But those feeling the need to sling mud at only America have blinkers on, because this is very much a Western World problem -> the idea of 'too much democracy' isn't a problem that just America is facing. I can guarantee you that Australia and Europe are currently facing similar 'tyranny of the majority' issues. That quote nails modern internet culture. Also most of the debates on Fuwanovel. (Also most of the youth of today. And 4chan. Well, 4chan doesn't even pretend to be reasoned.) And you can apply it to any debate on any topic on the internet. People arguing on feelings and emotions rather than reason and logic. It's as though before you get into an internet debate, you need to send each participant a box of tissues and a stress ball because you'll hardly begin before the tears, teenage angst/bitching, and namecalling begins to flow. Go on a developer's site to complain about problems and BAM, you'll be targeted by a mob. But these people will then be targeted by a different mob - a mob of opposing views. Then the name calling starts. Then the crying starts. Then the capital letters start. And you're left there thinking ... I was only bringing up an issue. EDIT: The internet used to be a lot better back in the 90s. You could actually have intellectual discourse with people, because the other people on the internet were pretty smart also. These days, it's getting harder to find intellectual discussion. These days, there's a lot of trolls and posts full of nerd rage. Also no social networking, and it was slow, meant you couldn't live on the internet 24/7 which meant talking with people who were actually a little bit grounded and not driven stupid by living in the virtual world all day every day. Everyone benefitted when only a select, nerdy few wanted or were capable of getting on the internet. Now everybody's on it and it's a dump, and yes, it's everybody's fault. That means most of you reading this thread. For shame! EDIT2: No idea how I got on that topic. Don't ask, for I can't tell.

This is my first time doing something like this. Though I am confident in my abilities, so i believe i can at least make a decent one. This is gonna be really tough. I have to work on everything. I haven't done much programming but this will be a good way to get experience. The story is one of the things i'm good at so I wont need to worry much. Music is also is a alright thing i can do. I can't create symphonies or anything but it's something lol. Art ugh probably the most difficult thing ill be doing. I suck at it xD. Don't worry though i have an idea for that. The only reason i'm even making this post is because i'm excited about this. It's gonna take a while but ill do it. Right now i'm in the process of making the story. So i'll come again some other time with progress made on it. That's it for now. Byee!

Welcome to the internet. Let me say that for once, I know where you're coming from. As a guy living in the Middle East, I can't help but sigh when I see people overseas suggest ridiculously stupid solutions to the problems this region of mine faces. "Just nuke ISIS/Saudi/Iran/all za Middle East while you're at it" seems to be the general consensus at times. And surprisingly, I also agree with you on "the masses are stupid" point, and am rather surprised to see this new critique of democracy that is getting more and more prevalent over the internet. A few years back, especially around the start of the Arab spring, democracy was the divine way of a modern country to function that none would dare question, and anyone even considering something else is "Hitler". It's rather refreshing to see a little more open mindedness now. I don't claim to know much about American internal affairs so I can't comment much on it specifically. But I do think that this odd belief that Westerners in general seem to have, the belief that "democracy is the objective best thing ever", is rather... Troublesome, to say the least. It naturally demonizes every other alternative without much of a reason. If I were to ask most people today why Democracy is "good", the average answer will be something along the lines of "well, at least it's not fucking communism". Personally, I don't think there's a global, all-righteous and correct way to make a functioning government. While democracy has been relatively successful in the West, that is not the case for the rest of the world. If you look at the Middle East for example, you would find that monarchies are much more economically successful and progressive, and politically stable than "democratic" countries. In other words, "what might work for you won't necessarily work for everyone else". Whoever becomes president this time, there is going to be a very large segment of the population that won't accept the result. In my opinion, when the biggest Democracy starts not accepting the results of its own system, it's a sign that it's not working any longer. And that's really why systems are a thing: To make things work. If Democracy works in a certain place for a ceratin period of time, then it's the "correct" way as far as anyone can say, not for any deep philosophical reason. If it doesn't, then maybe a new way is better

TIL Rooke is a proud representative of the "Like this if you are a 90's kid" movement.

In this case I'll keep it going... @Kawasumi FU brah!

There's something funny in the schizophrenic way Sullivan displays side to side elitist conservatism with liberal values. I hear he's often been like this. There's a latent fear of the masses that is kinda imbued throughout his whole article (if only by the claim that the issue is that there can be "too much democracy") but at the same time he can't really bring himself to say the increase of inclusivity and representativity of minorities, and the lifting of several anti-democratic barriers in the US system, are bad things, because you know that wouldn't be progressive, and liberals are always progressive, history is obviously going towards more progress y'know. Another type of schizophreny: that of the color-blind, gender-blind liberal. Sullivan is "obviously" for everyone's equality yet he manages to make several claims that "white male culture" is being demonized, which proves that he doesn't understand at all how minorities movement work, what's at stake and what are the issues, but also that he probably lives in a parallel world. Anyway, the problem is not that there's too much democracy, it's that there's not enough. The article can flaunt all the increase in democracy there's been, it doesn't change the fact that there remains many structural issues with current political systems. With its Electoral College and its complete lack of regulations on campaign spending and funding and media coverage, the US arguably has "less" democracy in its system than we have in France, yet the french system is still terrible. On the politician side, structural issues make it so that representatives don't represent people at all. On the people's side, the fact that politics has been reduced to elections and that everything is done to de-politize a lot of other things make it so that people are not involved enough in politics. Democracy would gain a lot from having people more involved in politics overall, and that doesn't mean sitting there waiting for people to get interested into politics but making the system so that they do get involved. Debates are fueled by emotion and personal position: no shit bro. That's not a new hot take specific to the internet, Spinoza already talked about all of this centuries ago. Human beings are not rational most of the time. Most of what drives us is our passions. Debates on political matters that would happen on a pacified public place where everyone would be equal and rational are mere fantasy. And what's true of the masses is true of the so-called elite too. They're not more rational, they're not any less determined by the social, political, historical structures in which they evolve. There is no virtuous people, so what we need is virtuous institutions, a system which will push everyone upwards, and that's probably not representative democracy. One could even wonder if it would be democracy period, maybe the anarchists were right all along, who knows. One thing is for sure, it's that on the contrary the internet, through its network, horizontal, decentralized structure is a huge step forward. It may take a while but it will, like any structure, have deep effects our society. Assuming we don't all die before, of course.

I'm not against free speech on this forum, but threads that specifically target religious/political discussion hardly seem like they would relate to visual novels or Japanese 2D animation. Having a discussion such as this outside of the forums seems okay, but I really don't want to see America being attacked, seeing as I was born here and actually respect my country in some ways. Jokes aside, this thread seems like it will turn into a mudslinging contest about America; I don't think this forum is the place for that.

I agree wholeheartedly. That last route's ending being so well-executed is most of why I think so highly of Comyu and why I recommend it to people so often. The atmosphere it built, the CG, and the music all combine for a really remarkable moment. It's probably my favorite VN ending, and one of my two favorite moments in any VN (only Gahkthun has a scene near the end that competes with it).

This was a fascinating read I came across while parsing through The Atlantic. It frames Trump as a neo-fascist and an existential threat to American democracy. NYmag: Democracies end when they are too democratic. And right now, America is a breeding ground for tyranny. One of my favorite lines:

https://www.humblebundle.com/books/kodansha-manga-bundle Well this came as a surprise, Humble Bundle has decided to have its first ever manga campaign where you can get multiple digital comics for a pretty low price. If you guys want to start supporting the manga industry, this is a very good entry point, because even at the highest tier of $17 you're still saving a butt ton of money than if you were to purchase all of these comics individually. Also, these are completely DRM Free, which is even more rare for digital comics. The list of comics available in this campaign: Attack on Titan Vol. 1, 2 and 3 Parasyte Vol. 1 and 2 Inuyashiki Vol. 1 and 2 Vinland Saga Book 1 Space Brothers Vol. 1 Ajin: Demi-Human Vol. 1 and 2 The Heroic Legend of Arslan Vol. 1 Knights of Sidonia Vol. 1 The 7 Deadly Sins Vol. 1 Battle Angel Alita: Last Order Omnibus Vol. 1st I hope in the future we'll have more digital manga humble bundles, there's lots of potential here.

This is the entire premise of a representative democracy. We don't want the average person, or even the collective, making important political decisions. Christ, half the nation can't even take care of themselves, much less contribute usefully to running the country. That's why we elect representatives who hopefully can make better decisions than we can--and they in turn appoint experts who handle the actual policymaking and implementation. The common person influences the process, but they're not making decisions because they're not qualified to do so. And that's exactly how it should be. Give total power to the people and the result is mob rule--pretty much how Internet communities typically function, and we know how dysfunctional those can be.

Bruh, I am actually studying joinery right now the next person swears he doesn't snore

Oh, lemme take a shot at this one. People could be better informed, but I'd say that not enough to take political decisions unless we're talking daily hours of mandatory education and forced participation that are completely unrealistic. I dunno. Politicians need to take some really important decisions, and I'd say often enough those decisions involve specific knowledge that people can't just learn from some google searches, and that we're better off letting experts in those fields take them instead. Not to say politicians know about those issues either... But just letting the people decide is a great way to get humanity extinct ASAP, imo. I also think it is more realistic to educate a few hundred politicians on the myriad issues they'll be deciding on than doing it to everyone. I could be wrong or completely crazy, though. This type of thing is too complex and out of my area of expertise.

I do not live to hit my mother, how dare you! Next person has never played a Zelda game

Unfortunately, foreigners like @Down know more about the US political system than 90% of Americans. Being a foreigner by no means makes him unqualified to comment. And again, it was @Rooke who made the point that American democracy is by no means unique. Most affluent Western nations share a similar system. However, tyranny of the majority is a thing, which is why we have constitutional limits on government power, separation of powers, and a judiciary that is remote from the political process. This is why it's all the more concerning that judicial appointments are being politicized. This is EXACTLY what the founders of our political system were trying to avoid. If we keep this up our republic is going to give way sooner or later to mob rule (i.e., democracy). What terrifies me most about Trump is how he oversimplifies complex problems and promises outlandish "solutions" that would make these problems far worse, not better. All politicians do this to some degree, but Trump is by far the most anti-intellectual candidate that's achieved popular support. This sort of deliberate delusional mass indoctrination of the public is classically associated with authoritarianism, cultism and yes--fascism. The more I reflect, the more I realized Obama was everything I wanted in a president. He's careful, deliberate, reasonably apolitical, and his arguments are reasoned and nuanced. He recognizes and embraces the complexity of the problems America faces. Trump is his antithesis. If I had a message to the American people, it would be this: elect a president who will be an effective leader, not simply one who will champion your pet cause.

I'd already answered this, but the difference is that ef first tale only covered first half or so from overall story while fairy tale of the two combined the first half and second half (latter tale). And if you wonder which version is the best, I would suggest just pick first tale and latter tale separately since the combined version managed to remove extra menu, while separate version still had extra menu intact. Oh, extra menu is the menu which you could see CG, listen BGM, and rewatch H-Scene after (Or sometimes during) finishing VN and actually this should be common feature for any VN.

US politics may be one big theatre but trump is simply pointing it out.

The last GM standing Q&A: Link to the thread: Would you rather read the chapters in a PDF document? Click here! Chapter 1: Chapter 2: Chapter 3: (Word count, 4439) The Last GM Standing Chapter 4 (Word count, 3984) The Last GM Standing Chapter 5 (Word count, 4491) The Last GM Standing Chapter 6 (Word count 3334) - Finale, part 1/2 - The atmosphere on the battlefield was suffocating. With the sun once again covered by dark clouds, a strong wind blew across the area, seemingly building up to a storm. The three GMs were standing on an open field, facing each other, with their remaining warriors at their side. Kaguya, Nosebleed and Down. Only one of them would come out of the battle alive... .... Nosebleed was knitting his brows as the powerful wind struck him. In his mind, countless questions raged around. Why do we have to do this? Why wont the others put down their weapons? Why do we have to fight?.. At his side, Kingdomcome and Nebjula stood, with their weapons drawn. Nosebleed had lost many during the battle, and was down to his last two brave soldiers. He wished for nothing more than to let those two brave survivors make it out alive. But in order to do that, he had to fight ... He had to fight for them, and for the ones who had already given their life in this gruesome battle. "It's time. I can't guarantee your safety during this fight ... Not that I have been able to do that previously either..." Looking down at the ground with a shameful expression plastered on his face, Nosebleed spoke to his comrades. "Don't worry, we will be at your side until the bitter end." Kingdomcome said as he put his hand on Nosebleed's shoulder. Nebjula said nothing, but walked up at Nosebleed's other side and prepared his maces for battle. His hands were shaking ever so slightly and his lips were trembling. Before them stood Kaguya, with his four remaining fighters, and to their right was Down, who also had four warriors remaining. No one spoke. The overwhelming silence was soon followed by a loud roar of thunder coming from the east. Just as the sound of the thunder was heard, Kaguya made the first move... The battle had begun. - The beginning of the end - Kaguya lifted his arms above his head and summoned a massive fireball, hurling it at Down. Down reacted quickly and pushed his comrades out of the way, then jumped up in the air, making the fireball collide with nothing but the bare ground. As he floated through the air, Down gripped his sword and made a big swing, targeting Kaguya. The blade approached its target with great speed. Kaguya lifted up his right arm and the blade collided with his flesh. But, despite the strength of the attack, his skin was not cut. A big shockwave blew across the battlefield, as a reaction produced by the powerful impact of Down's sword. Down quickly drew back his blade and went in for another attack. Kaguya used his arms to block the attacks, and retaliated with punches that Down fairly easily dodged. The two traded blows for a while, neither landing any good hits. "Devourer of light, bane of the living, ruler of death, envelop the world in darkness!" Chanting a spell from behind Kaguya, Jade stepped forward and sent a large cloud of dark smoke towards Down. The smoke crept forward like a living being, seeking out enemies, and completely avoiding teammates. Down reacted quickly and jumped back a few meters, then he raised his sword towards the sky, and a bright green light erupted from the tip. The light wrapped itself around himself and his warriors, shielding them from the smoke. "Dergonu, Greenshadow." Speaking to two of his underlings, Kaguya pointed forwards, and the two launched an attack at the exposed Down. Because he was busy holding back the shadow from his forces, he was wide open. It was not a physical barrier, but instead one to hold back magic, which meant humans could pass through it. The two ran towards their target and raised their weapons. "Get back scum!" Before they reached Down, a shadow quickly jumped out from behind him, blocking both their attacks. Two green swords glowing in a green light, similar to that Down was producing, was blocking their weapons. "Yaaa!" Their opponent, FinalChaos, pulled back his swords and spun around, making the blades strike at both targets in a circular motion. They both had to raise their weapons in a defensive manner to block the attack, at which point another attacker stepped out behind Down and struck at the two team Kaguya members. He held a long green dagger, and stabbed at Greenshadow's chest. Greenshadow quickly moved his shield in between himself and the dagger, whilst still holding back FinalChaos' sword attacks. Fred the Barber, the second attacker from team Down, quickly moved sideways and tried to stab at Greenshadow's flank, but Dergonu jumped in between them. The four warriors started attacking each other left and right, looking for openings. Meanwhile, Down was still holding back Jade's magic, which was starting to approach its limit. Suddenly a rain of crossbow bolts approached Down and the other fighters present. Down extended his left hand, making a physical barrier to stop the sudden attack, leaving him even more exposed than before. Kingdomcome from team Nosebleed was positioned about 50 meters away, firing freely at the group. To his left stood Nebjula, protecting his teammate from potential threats. "Damnit ... At this rate we will be sitting ducks... Babiker, Kawasumi, take out the sniper, I'll hold back Kaguya. If you run into Nosebleed himself... then run." Doing as their leader told them, Kawasumi and Babiker started running towards the team Nosebleed members. Fred the Barber and FinalChaos were still in a fight with Dergonu and Greenshadow. Jade and Gijimu were standing next to Kaguya, working like bodyguards. .... Team Down: Fred the Barber, FinalChaos VS Team Kaguya: Greenshadow622, Dergonu .... Down finally got a break from all the oncoming attacks. Kawasumi and Babiker had approached Kingdomcome, and Jade's magic had finally stopped. But, just as he had some time to catch his breath, two pink shuriken soared through air, approaching Down's position. He quickly tried to swat them down with his sword, but as the blade was about to hit the oncoming shuriken, they moved as if they had a will of their own, making them avoid Down's weapon. They hit him in the chest, making his personal barrier take a strong hit. Upon closer inspection, Down saw that the shuriken were tied to a string, which was being controlled by someone further away. "... Nosebleed." Clutching his sword with all his might, Down swung it in a big arc, moving it towards the location the shuriken were being controlled from. A massive wave of green energy approached its target, breaking everything in its path. A pink magic circle appeared in the target location seconds after, blocking the attack. Meanwhile, FinalChaos and Dergonu were in a fight a little further away from the GMs. As Down had engaged in battle with an enemy, FinalChaos had taken command of the battle against Kaguya's troops, and had sent Fred the Barber to fend of Greenshadow622 while he himself fought Dergonu. Fred's dagger would be of little use against a massive mace. Of course, it wasn't very ideal against a sword and a shield, but if he could at least hold out until FinalChaos finished his own fight, then that was enough. FinalChaos was calmly analyzing Dergonu's attack patterns as they fought, trying to find an opening. From the look of it, he would not tire easily, not to mention that if he stalled the fight too long, Fred could be in danger, so he would need to finish the fight some other way. Dergonu wasn't particularly fast, but every time FinalChaos moved in to strike at him with his dual blades, it made for a dangerous opening. All it took was one hit from the giant mace to knock him out. He had to play it carefully. Because of that, FinalChaos did not take the initiative, and instead waited for when Dergonu attacked. Then, he moved quickly away from the mace and sliced at Dergonu's exposed side. His swords collided with Dergonu's barrier, bouncing off him. Because the attack was a very swift cut, it wasn't particularly powerful, but it was enough to slightly weaken Dergonu. If he kept that up, he would be able to win. "You little ... STAND STILL!" Shouting in an agitated voice, Dergonu suddenly lifted his mace above his head and smashed it down in the ground in front of him. As it didn't look like the attack would hit him, FinalChaos made no attempt to avoid the attack, which was a mistake. The mace produced a shockwave, which knocked FinalChaos off his feet. Dergonu followed up with striking at FinalChaos on the ground. It would be impossible for him to dodge it from that position, and so he used his swords to absorb the impact from the attack. He had to use all his strength in order to hold back the giant mace. It slowly but surely started pushing back FinalChaos' swords, inching in towards his chest. There had to be a way out. Still remaining calm, FinalChaos looked for a way out of his dire situation. He could kick Dergonu's legs, making him trip, but that could mean his mace would hit him in the process. Such a blow could be fatal, so that wouldn't work... As he approached his limit, no longer able to hold back the mace, he came to a conclusion. Suddenly letting go of both his swords, he made the surprised Dergonu tip forward. FinalChaos then gripped the approaching mace, stopping it right before it hit his chest. Following up his surprise maneuver, he kicked at Dergonu's leg, as the mace hitting him was no longer a risk. Dergonu fell over, losing the grip on his mace. "Crap... You annoying pest!" Gradually getting more and more annoyed, Dergonu launched a flurry of randomly directed punches at FinalChaos, who had not been able to retrieve his own blades yet. "You can have this back." As he said that, FinalChaos threw the mace at Dergonu. Acting on pure reflex, he gripped the mace midair. FinalChaos then snatched up his blades from the ground, and thrust them into Dergonu's wide open chest, crushing the remaining resistance in his barrier. "Ghhhh..." Letting out a pained noise, Dergonu lost the grip on his mace, and fell to the ground. "Now... Time to check on Fred." Turning his back on his dead opponent, FinalChaos looked around for his comrade. .... Fred the Barber was trying his best to fight off Greenshadow's attacks. He was unable to parry the attacks directly, as all he had was a dagger, however he was able to stab at Greenshadow's side whenever he moved in for an attack. He had landed a few hits, to his own surprise, but he had also sustained a wound to his left arm, making the already difficult fight even harder. Greenshadow's shield was also a problem. Because of it, Fred could only attack Greenshadow's right side, because the shield would make attacks to his left completely impossible. Fred was breathing heavily, and his heart was beating faster and faster. The pain in his arm did not really bother him, but he was starting to get really nervous. He had no real plan of attack, and the only thing he could do was fend off his opponent, keeping him at bay with some sneaky counterattacks here and there. At this rate, he would not be able to win... Would he die? Would he lose? Was this the end? Greenshadow looked at Fred with a hint of guilt as he moved in for another attack. I see... So even he knows it, huh? The blade moved towards Fred. He sidestepped, but just as he moved away, he realized his mistake. He had moved to the left, which meant ... Greenshadow's shield bashed Fred right in the face, completely impairing his vision, making the world spin around in his head. Then, right after, a cold sensation hit him in the stomach. The feeling of cold steel piercing his skin. This is the end, huh? ... Maybe it's for the better. "FRED!" Someone shouting his name made him snap back to reality. FinalChaos jumped between them, striking at Greenshadow. His swords hit Greenshadow's shield, but he managed to force Greenshadow back, making him take the blade out of Fred's stomach. Fred collapsed, and FinalChaos dropped his swords, catching Fred before he hit the ground. Greenshadow looked at the scene, with a pained expression on his face. "I'm sorry." With those words, he turned his back on them and walked away. A hint of a smile appeared on Fred's face. "S-Seems I did a lousy job of stalling him, huh? ..." FinalChaos shook his head quietly, and held his comrade in his arms, closing his eyes. Fred had been one of the people on his team he cared quite a lot for. Some of the others were too brutal, too ruthless and bloodthirsty. But maybe ... Maybe those qualities were what one needed on a battlefield like this. "Rest now ..." Upon hearing those words, Fred nodded ever so slightly, and soon after, the light vanished from his eyes, the smile still present on his face. Team Kaguya, Dergonu- DEAD END Team Down, Fred the Barber- DEAD END .... Down felt the life force of another one of his warriors vanish, and anger welled up inside him. Why? Why are we doing this? Why?! "GAAAH!" Unable to contain his anger, he shouted at the top of his lungs, and struck at Nosebleed with incredible strength. The power of his attack was enhanced by his rage, making Nosebleed's barrier wither. "Guh..." Surprised by the sudden attack, Nosebleed took a careful step backwards, putting more energy into his barrier. "No more! NO More!" As Down shouted, he prepared to strike at Nosebleed once again, but was suddenly stopped as a Kaguya moved up next to him and struck at his chest with a fist wrapped in fire. The attack created a massive explosion, sending Down flying. He lost the grip on his sword, and as he hit the ground, it made a giant crater. Turning around to face Nosebleed, Kaguya struck at his new target. Nosebleed was not caught off guard however, and easily avoided the hits. He then retaliated with a hit off his own. The two struck at each other repeatedly, making waves of fire and energy fly everywhere. Down as still lying in the crater, unconscious. About 50 meters away from the GMs, another battle was taking place. "Nebjula, duck!" Kingdomcome fired a flurry of bolts at Kawasumi, as Nebjula jumped to the side just in time. But, as the bolts were about to hit their target, Babiker moved in and hit every single one out of the air. "Too slow kid." He said with confidence. As Kawasumi saw an opening, she struck at Nebjula with her sickle. Nebjula blocked it with his maces, but Kawasumi was much faster, and followed up her attack with a kick to Nebjula's head, making him fall face first into the ground. "Damnit..." Cursing to himself, Kingdomcome fired more bolts at the team Down members, trying to buy some time for Nebjula to get back up. But, every bolt was hit out of the air by Babiker before they hit. "Who the hell is this guy?!" "Keep them coming buddy, I can do this all day!" He answered in a smug tone. Kawasumi grabbed a hold of Nebjula and lifted him up in the air by his neck. "Good boy. I'll have some fun with you before I kill you." As she said that, Kawasumi placed her sickle on Nebjula's hand, and cut off one of his fingers. "AAAAAAAHH!" Screaming in pain, Nebjula kicked at Kawasumi viciously. "Come on now, be still! You are making this so much harder!" Kawasumi tried to get a good grip on her opponent, but wasn't able to keep a firm hold on him because of his resistance, and eventually dropped him. "Look what you did! Your dirty shoes made my armor all filthy..." Kawasumi kneeled down, once again trying to get a good grip on Nebjula's neck. "Y-You bitch..." Nebjula suddenly thrust his head upwards, making the top of his head collide with Kawasumi's nose. As she gripped her bleeding nose and staggered backwards, Nebjula got to his feet and picked up one of his maces. "Payback time." Nebjula then lunged forward and was about to strike at the defenseless Kawasumi. But, right before he managed to attack her, Babiker launched a kick which pushed Nebjula back. Nebjula hit the ground with a loud crash. But, during the second Babiker looked away from Kingdomcome, another volley of crossbow bolts flew towards him with great accuracy. "... Shit." He had no time to deflect them, and the projectiles hit his body all over, piercing his arms, legs and chest. Warm blood flowed from his open wounds, and his entire body screamed in pain. After just a few seconds, he fell to the ground with a thump. "Nebjula, let's hurry! Looks like Nosebleed is in a pinch!" Kingdomcome quickly ran up to the fallen Nebjula and helped him up. Nosebleed was in a fight with Kaguya, and it looked like Kaguya was landing quite a few hits. They had to hurry over to their commanders aid. "Like I'll let you escape after screwing up my nose you little shit!" Kawasumi got to her feet and moved forward quickly, aiming for Nebjula's neck. "Look out!" Kingdomcome instinctively pushed Nebjula out of the way, and Kawasumi's sickle hit Kingdomcome's neck. The thin blade made a deep cut in Kingdomcome's neck, cutting through his throat, nearly separating his head from his body. "Whops... Looks like I hit the wrong one. Well, whatever. You're next." Nebjula did not react to Kawasumi's words. He was completely paralyzed, covered in his teammate's warm blood. He stared at Kingdomcomes body, not knowing how to react. "... Eh?" Kawasumi suddenly let out a high pitched voice. She had completely stopped moving, and blinked repeatedly, as if she wasn't entirely sure what was happening. She touched her stomach, and her hand was stained in blood. But it wasn't Kingdomcome's blood... It was hers. There was a large hole in her stomach. "Grgh.." Not able to form actual words because of the blood flowing out of her mouth, Kawasumi collapsed. Behind her stood Gijimu from team Kaguya, his hand covered in red blood. "I will let you go this time, but once we meet again in battle, I won't go easy on you." Gijimu simply left Nebjula with those words, before he had a chance to reply. Nebjula's legs were shaking violently, and he finally fell to the ground, covering his face in his hands. Team Down, Babiker and Kawasumi- DEAD END Team Nosebleed, Kingdomcome (REAL)- DEAD END The battlefield was covered in smoke, massive craters and dead combatants. This was the final part of the battle. Team Down and Nosebleed now only had a single warrior left each. Kaguya still had three remaining warriors. The battle between Nosebleed and Kaguya had not yet reached a conclusion. Down was unconscious, his body being protected by FinalChaos. Nebjula was still recovering from shock, and Gijimu, Greenshadow622 and Jade had joined in the fight versus Nosebleed.

What is wrong with you people? We need Trump-sempai to Make the USSA Great Again! It's not just for Americans, Japan needs America to be great again just as much as Americans. Most Americans don't realize how much of a problem it is for Japan to have a pussy in charge. But the Japanese with their eyes open know. Trump-sempai will give Japan the kick in the ass she needs to be great again. When Japan is great again anime will be great again. Why don't you want Japan to be great again? You must be hateful, hurtful, racist, bigoted, sexist, xenophobic Japanphobes who kidnap kittens and eat them alive. This tall drink of umeshu knows what's up. Random-kun for Prime Minister! And my waifu no. 612! You think some liberal pussy who wants to sell Japan to the Chinese will keep the world safe for anime and galge? NO! A vote for Trump is a vote for Japan and a vote to Make Anime Great Again!

Good luck. My army of Arrancars will support you in the shadows.

Best of luck out there. Feel free to pop me a message if you need feedback; us small-scale content creators gotta stick together.

Good luck with your project

Well, best of luck! Nice to see that you are excited about this. Can't wait to hear more about the story once you have more to show

Meh. Checks and balances. Congress will either be led by a GOP that doesn't want Trump or Democrats opposed to him. Assuming Trump even wins. With the Supreme Court coming closer to a moderate overall makeup, there are plenty of ways for Trump to be kept in check. It all comes out in the wash.

I'm sure you will be able to and if you need tips or advices I'm sure people will help you if you ask for it.

Good Luck with your project man

so can I just say that comyu's main route had one of the best god dam endings I ever saw, the only gripe I had with it was the fact and yes.... it took me like half a year to actually finish this VN does any1 know where I can get high rez versions of the cg's? please PM me, thank you

Hey fuwas. Maybe someone know (probably not ), that i am a sort of musician. I make mainly modern music, but i tried making a bit of "horror" or "creepy" ones. I m open for any rating or judging, whatever. All the songs are able to download. Some might be better, some maybe worse (or each of them ), some maybe only few will like, or some noone will like. Here they are: 6 in total Maybe help me find names for them

food discussion, I came to hate this, I really cant stand it anymore, every time someone starts talking about food or anything related to that, for example, what they are going to cook, what ingredients will they buy to make some special dish etc etc I skip it, I don't give a crap if it is important or not. Also butlers and waitress characters (the whole servant thing), I don't know why is there such a huge obsession for this trope in Japan, I don't have anything against those professions in particular but come on there are entire vns revolving around only those themes! Why? why is this even a thing?? I can understand 2 o 3 or in nukige vns...but come on, look at this: https://vndb.org/g1294 https://vndb.org/g1636 https://vndb.org/g640 https://vndb.org/g469 https://vndb.org/g1599 https://vndb.org/g829

My hopes and dreams are crushed, but at least I still have my H.

Nah, if I saw a doctor every time I was in a bit of pain I'd be there every 2nd week. And it doesn't feel too serious, just painful. Anyway people get used to aches and pains after a while, it's just annoying having to do long hours of physically demanding work when you're not feeling too good.

Well fuck you too, m8.

You need to get shot. Though, I enjoyed reading your rant on YuujixMakina

NO, KINGDOM. I'll never let go, man. I promise!

Great, so that's what the artist intended. I don't really care as I want my pr0n if I can get it. Artist/audience/Japan/west disconnect, whatever, fuck the mosaics.

The whole stalling on things you don't want to conclude thing is something i get really bad with Anime, and sometimes games. I oddly don't have it nearly as bad with visual novels... But yeah, I have SO many anime half watched and every once in a while i try to make an effort to finish them, even if i have to rewatch a few episodes to get my memory refreshed on where i'm at, but it seems for every 1 show i manage to finish, there are 2-3 that i will stall on. I tend to have a much easier time finishing shows that i force myself to watch weekly, or are generic (although painfully generic stuff i'll end up dropping) VN wise, I tend to finish what i start for better or worse. Some times i'll finish a route and go "Wow, i really enjoyed that" and then have the rest of them sour my experience. I think the only VN i've actually dropped was like Ikikoi. There was only 1 heroine i remotely enjoyed, and the rest were, lets just say... not to my taste. (But yeah Canvas 2 wasn't the best, but i still found it overall... tolerable)

I have this same problem, although not quite as severe. As far as VNs go, Duel Savior is one of these, where I got halfway through the final route (of seven) and stopped. More recently, there's Kara no Shoujo 2 where I've gotten all the ends but the true end. I keep telling myself I'll go back to it but I just never end up doing so... I never consciously think "I don't want this to end," I always come up with some other reason for stopping. But I've heard a number of people are like this and the common psychological explanation given is a subconscious aversion to endings, with people like me afraid of being "finished" with something and never having a reason to go back. I do finish most VNs I start, however. Normal video games, on the other hand... I can't remember the last one I've beaten. I literally can't. I've started preferring games that don't have an end, maybe because of this. Even my beloved MGS5... Maybe some day... Going back closer to the original topic, I've never stopped a VN because I just liked a heroine too much. I HAVE stopped reading a VN because I hated the other heroines, though. Like Canvas 2.

i´m more the type who reads like 95% of the story, regardless of routes, in 2days & then suddenly stops doing so because he cant bear it coming to an end... at least 150+ partly great ones have already met the aforementioned fate, though i keep on swearing to myself to resume them one day, probably...

That's why I always plan my routes as best as I can based on the common route, leaving the best for last. If there are 4 routes and I rank the girls 1 to 4, the order I play them in is 3,4,2,1. I do 3 first because if I do my least favourite one first, I might get tempted to start skipping long before I get to anything I enjoy. Leaving the best for last allows me to savour the game story more and understand everything surrounding the best heroine by the time I do her route.

Paprika. It's a piece of art with plot embedded but in a good way.

The first draft of the story for the demo is finished! It ended up being around 10.000 words, which will be around 30 minutes of reading time. We'll be going into editing, and drawing the first four backgrounds!

Rewrite Rewrite is set in the fictional city Kazamatsuri where treeplanting and afforestation have caused the city to become overgrown with trees and flowers in much the same way that other cities are filled by buildings. However, while most of the city appears to be rural, there are many traditional city elements as well. While set in a modern setting, the city also gives off a strange sense of nostalgia. The basis of the story is set in a high school setting. The first half of Rewrite primarily consists of the characters interacting in many everyday, enjoyable scenes. The latter half, however, is more serious, emotional, and carries a sense of mystery to the plot. As indicated by the title, rewriting is the theme of the game's scenario. The tagline for the game is, "Could it possibly be rewritten, that fate of hers?". Suggested Walkthrough Order!! Ending Guide As far as I can tell, absolutely nothing in the Mappie segments influences which of the five heroine routes you end up on (if any), not even the parts where one of the heroines accompanies you. So they're ignored in this section. I don't try to list every single choice you should make for each route, because a lot of them probably don't matter. Instead I try to list only the important choices, the ones I think are enough to guarantee you get the route no matter what else you do. Warning!
