    Excuse my bad drawing skills. For this one picture, Hachikuji will be my favorite fictional character. (I tried to draw Rin, it was too hard. Cat ears are hard...)

    Dear competitors,
     
    It has been a fun seven weeks entering this contest with you all. I would give a shout-out to certain people but there is no need. You were all great and probably put in more effort than I did. My objective was clear from the beginning. I know a lot of you were here to win and to get your prizes. In no way do I plan to stop you from doing so. However I needed to make sure that solidbatman had to suffer as much as we the contestants had to. No organizer should be able to just go around and tout his stuff and not have to suffer from our hands. If we are here to win, we should also make the person giving us the prize have a little fun as well. If we are told to dance, we shall dance, but we will make sure he notices we aren't doing it for him but for the prize. When we are told to write, we will write as much or as little as we need while taking a few fun shots at our lovable and huggable solidbatman. You were all great and made me laugh and have fun along the way, just remember that we must continue our pursuit of having solidbatman remember his place in this world. Remember our struggles, and never forget what we are here for. To all of you fellow contestants, I say thank you for this fun time we were able to share.
     
    Best Regards,

    solidbatman Lover!

    Once upon a time, there was a man named solidbatman. He decided to troll the forums and start a seven week long contest that would test the entrants' wits, guts, and determination. At first he thought this was a great idea. As time went on, he realized he had made a horrible mistake. With so many people participating, he would actually have to get the prize and make sure someone wins it. If not the backlash would be crazy. So during the seven weeks, he made different events and contests that required the participants to do really hard or embarrassing things so that he could at least laugh at their misfortune. As time wore on, he got more and more bored with the contest and decided to put in less and less effort. As the home stretch was approaching, he thought he would try to be the terrible host that makes guests do things that were not only repetitive but also annoying enough that they would have to put in effort. Even if he wasn't able to get what he wanted out of the contest, he could get some laughs and watch the poor contestants suffer. As the final days approached, he thought he would make his entrants write a story about the contest. Maybe they would write about their struggles, maybe they will praise him, or maybe just maybe, they may come to love him. However, he did not see shcboomer's post coming. All he thought was that shcboomer was lazy and put in very little effort, and he wanted to make sure he was tripped up by having to write a realistic story of some sort. He was wrong on a lot of counts, no one would have seen this post coming. Who would think that someone would post about the contest and try to figure out solidbatman's intentions. Even with that, it was not enough, solidbatman had to take full control of the situation. In order to do so, he made sure that there were bonus points and no way of knowing how to actually obtain them. Maybe if he hid some points, he could make sure that everyone would be tripped up, that or he could arbitrarily assign points. This way the leaderboard could be as skewed as he wanted it to be. As day six drew to a close, he knew that he had done the right thing and that everything was working out just as planned. Even this post was part of his master plan and nothing would stop him from accomplishing his goals. His entire intention was to raise his likes count on his profile by having more people like his posts. One thing he could not have imagined was that people would only like one of his posts and that the rest would be ignored by the mass majority. Before he knew it, he had not only failed in getting likes, but he was also outed to the entire community. What would he do now? The answer was simple, he would pretend this was not the case and move on with his merry life.

    Welcome to the forums, I hope you'll enjoy your time here.
    As other people said above, you will need a torrent client. Take one of their suggestions and install it. Afterwards all .torrent files should be associated with it and you have to do is double click the .torrent file.

    shcboomer got a reaction from Yeah Way in How Literally Are VN's Typically Translated?   
    Well this opens up quite the can of worms, but I'll chime in with my personal opinion on the matter. One of the biggest things about translations is always the literal vs. the liberal translation of things. It can range from anywhere being too literal and looking like "Engrish" to being too liberal/localized and completely lose the meaning found in the original language. In most cases, I would argue that finding a balance is probably the hardest part.
     
    For me on a personal level, I'd say I try to find that balance as much as possible. However, people tell me that I tend to be more on the literal side of things. It might have something to do with me having a more "editor" first mindset. Admittedly at times, I try to edit my lines as I TL them and usually that becomes a mess. There are times when the line I translated just sounds wrong so I decide to give it an edit instead of just leaving the raw translation out there. For better or for worse, I think striving to find a balance is my ultimate goal when it comes to translations/localizations.
     
    Just thought I'd chime in with my opinion. I'd be interested to hear what other people around here have to say as well.
