To see girls vomit on me

i mean, moenovel gets paid for their shit tls so how much worse can you do? so long as the final work is cohesive and remains true to the final translation, you should be good. dont be like grisaia and add shit you think would make the scene funnier or better. thats you projecting your own standards on others work.

There's like 14 shitters above best grill

To be fair, we already had stuff like this for a while: http://waifu2x.booru.pics/
Still, quite impressive that it can produce something remotely human-looking from an 8x8 image.

If you liked SAO, yeah, it's worth the read as a bunch of things (mainly in ALO's arc) were skipped. Also, having Kirito's POV is a plus, as it gives him the feelings people say that he doesn't have in the anime.
Friendly reminder that Rokujouma's still awesome.

So I was browsing YouTube and happened to stumble onto a guy who fed a recurring neural network (LSTM type) some cute VN girl noises. The girl in question is Hinata from Pure Pure. Needless to say the results are interesting...
It's rather interesting to see just what a machine picks up from that, and damn creepy.
The amount of iteration on the left signifies how often the network has gone over the 10 minute sample data and is also a good measure of how much it has learned.
Also bonus points if you turn on CC and watch a machine try to understand what another machine is trying to say.

Masterpiece.

Yeah, Sharin no Kuni, Yuukyuu no Shounenshoujo was pretty great

This is what I imagine hell sounds like.

I, uh, doubt that will be a problem.  Has 5pb ever released an adult game?  I'm pretty sure they haven't.  And even if they have, I have a very (very) hard time believing a legit licensed game out of a big property like this would be turned into an h-game.  It just doesn't happen.

Googled "Akari Noble Works" to get an image of her while we were discussing her in Fuwachat.
Slightly NSFW:
Not disappointed.

Dear Fuwa,
                  Due to the recent update there are certain bugs, strange new systems and features and missing content, most offensive of them all is the missing avatars from the chat. Now i'd like to take this moment in time out of my rioting, specifically looting Tay's underwear drawer and setting Zebhra on fire to tell you that we have been given a crucial responsibility; We must band together and blame Maefdomn for all our troubles and ensure that all blame falls on him for no reason. Please remember this in your daily Otaku commute and stay angry my friends. 
Love
Totodile.
 
P.S; Maef is also the one responsible for slow TL times

The most proven MySQL editor is probably phpMyAdmin. Super easy to install and set up and fantastic to use. Has editing available for all tables with index (they should all have indexes) and can do just about anything you need.
https://www.phpmyadmin.net/
 
If you want, I'm willing to test features you need on my own MySQL server with my own phpMyAdmin install before you commit or anything like that.

 
As the name suggests it runs on PHP on your server, only thing I can't seem to find is that  WYSIWYG > HTML conversion .

I thought we need a crying emoticon.
Komari's face come to mind.

Note: This is not for playing VNs on the move, see this topic for that. It is possible to connect over the internet but this guide is currently only for playing VNs locally.
 
If you want to read a visual novel in your bed, or maybe downstairs but don't want the bulk of carrying a laptop then there is a pretty good method for you. This method uses NVidia GameStream from the Shield game console(?) but works on practically any Android tablet or phone. I myself have tested it with my GTX 650 GPU and an Acer A510 Android tablet and I get a very good framerate and resolution over my 100mbps local network. There is no noticeable input lag and it just feels like playing it on the device rather than being streamed.
 
Requirements:
PC running the actual VN PC has to have a NVidia GTX 600/700/800/900 GPU or GTX 600M/700M/800M (GT-series not supported) GPU Android tablet/phone (You do NOT need a Tegra for this, any Android device with sufficient power will do) Advised:
Wired connection from PC to switch/router/modem/AP 100 mbps or better local connection  
As you can see by the requirements, we will not be running the VN on our tablet but on a local PC. 
Step 1: Install and open GeForce Experience on your PC.

Step 2: Install Moonlight on your Android device.

Step 3: Pair your android device with your PC.
Start by opening the Moonlight app on your android device and click the "+" icon in the top right corner of the screen.


Then enter your PC name or local IP. You can find this IP by opening the command prompt and entering "ipconfig".

As you can see, my local IP address is 192.168.0.128, so I enter that in the Moonlight app. Be sure that GeForce Experience is running otherwise it may not find your PC!
If your PC was found, you can now pair the devices by clicking on the PC icon and entering the PIN that the Moonlight app is showing you on your PC.

Now that the devices are paired, you should have connected to it and will see a games list, if you have any installed. Our VNs are naturally not in this list so we will add them in the next step.
 
Step 4: Adding the games.
Go to "Preferences" and then "SHIELD" on your GeForce Experience to see the (empty) games list.

Click on the "+" button on the right side of the window to open a dialog to add the executable. Navigate to the VN .exe of your choosing and click "Open". Now your VN has been added to the list and you can open it on your Android device. You may need to reload the list by disconnecting and reconnecting. If you are anything like me, however, and you like proper icons and stuff you can edit the game by clicking the button below the "+" sign while you have the game selected. Here you can change the name and box art that will show on your Android device. Very useful for a neat overview if you have many VNs.


Tap on the icon of the VN you added to start it up on your PC and stream it to your Android device. Then just shut off your PC screen and enjoy the game. Controls are like most Remote Desktop clients as in, drag for mouse positioning and tap to left click. This is all you need for most VNs.
 
Troubleshooting:
Q: "Help, I have no sound!"
A: First try the usual stuff. If that doesn't work, try starting the game while headphones or some audio device is plugged into the PC. Noble Works will not output sound if started without any audio device but will work fine if you unplug it later.
Q: "I cannot connect even though the IP is correct and GeForce Experience is running!"
A: Check the troubleshooting tips in this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2505510
 
Extra: Remote Desktop
In my search for a high quality RD solution with sound I came across a guide (see bottom of post) which is how I figured this out. In order to just have remote desktop (and yes, you can also play VNs this way if you don't want to add them all to your list) just add "C:\Windows\System32\mstsc.exe" as a game in the exact same manner that you added the VN from before. Then open that app to enjoy high quality remote desktop.

So, I've been thinking. 
As you may or may not know, Bishoujo Mangekyou -Norowareshi Densetsu no Shoujo- (https://vndb.org/v8038) got a Finnish translation a few dozen days ago, and I was thinking that it's a shame that it doesn't have an English translation. As I'm a native finn and have been studying English for a long time and have adequate skills in it, I thought it would be great to TL this title from Finnish to English. The quality of the TL will be unknown as I have only looked the Japanese text only so much, but the Finnish to English part would be completed fairly skillfully. I myself think it would be a great project for me at the moment, and it would help brush up my English skills. I have no experience in VN editing and such, so I will be only translating the title.
Now, the question is if you, would want to see this come to reality? 
If you do, great. I will put up the website and such once the TL is in adequate state, and look for editors, quality checkers and so on.
Please, do leave your opinion for somewhere me to see.

I had to read the title about three times to make sure I didn't get the wrong idea
I think this is something that happens to almost all of us at least once. A lot of users here stumbled upon the VN genre completely on accident even. 
If I had to point out the most random story, I'd say it was when I was browsing /h/ a few years ago and found some Katawa Shoujo CGs with Emi and thought having sex with crippled girls seems like a cool game idea this looks like a really good game, and then I found out the title and played it and fell in love with it, even though Emi didn't end up being the best as I initially expected and Hanako won me over.
 
 

I'm going to get a year closer to becoming a wizard! \  /

Katawa Shoujo, it was pretty great. And it was the first time I went "wait, this piece of media has straight up porn in it, and this is legal?"
