  1. This looks like a scene straight out of an American Pie, but as the saying goes: DOESN'T MATTER, HAD SEX! This also sounds a great story to post on 4chan/b/ and see the reactions
  2. I'm just an illiterate and common person, but isn't that natural progression of language? Some terms get used, others are forgotten, and new ones are born. Maybe now some people perceive this as a threat, but that's just life and language taking it's course. For example, my German professor told us last week that even though Genitiv still exists, the people who use it are either high brow members of society or old people, and that Genitiv users are a dying breed. I don't know what to make of it, just that it's life. Some things stay, others go. As for mastery of the English language, I agree that it is quite the colossal endeavour. I used to think I was very knowledgeable due to having completed Cambridge's Certificate of Proficiency in English and being the smartest student when it came to English classes in general. However, as I was writing my Hanachirasu review and now that I've had a few ideas for a literary narrative percolating in my head for a few months, I notice that I am a mere student who is far from being a posh and cultured speaker who can write good English.
  3. IIRC, the game just ends. The final two scenes are basically Then the credits roll. Congratulations, you just got what even the game calls "The Worst End".
  4. Nope. The worst end is basically: Hidden Content Wow... Now my head hurts... That's too much bestiality for me, and by the way, you can't live by only eating shit, and I am not even talking about the bleeding of sawatari... Did they really show all this with CG? Basically, they show pretty much everything.
  5. Do it. I only have one question: is it really all scat or is there other stuff in there? I might wanna try it out. There's a lot more stuff in there. I only saw two endings but it has a lot of particular fetishes. Scat is used in a few scenes though (I'd wager about 20% of them feature some form of scat). Well, there IS a happy ending in there. Just one in like 10. And even then it's not happy for everyone. I felt pretty proud of myself because I always get Bad Ends when I play VNs without a guide and with Starless, I got the best ending on my first read.
  6. It's just that there haven't been enough firstborn virgins sacrificed to the productivity gods in order to make the people finish it, that's all. I wonder if LB can net in more revenue than a Sakura game. One can dream.
  7. Wasn't the EX! translation already rip, given that it's been in Limbo for a long while now? Anyway, haven't read LB but nice to see some more serious VNs coming to Steam. I wonder if Rewrite will make it to Steam one day. Don't even have to argue about removing H content, since there isn't any to begin with.
  8. Nakamura Yuuichi - Hazama/Terumi from Blazblue. I think most still know him from Clannad or OreImo, but for me, Hazama is just the pinnacle of his talent. The guy pulls off a bloodthirsty psycopath so well. Jouji Nakata - Kirei from Fate or Alucard from Hellsing. Since both series are very popular, I don't know by what role he is better known. Both are still great performances though.
  9. I didn't know Fuwa had language and grammar Nazis... I've been learning English for about 14 years now and I don't consider myself proficient in English (enough to write literature at least).
  10. Yeah, Fuwa's a pretty nice place and community. I can proudly say it's the forum where I've remained the longest, even when I may have not been doing or consuming the things the forum is about. We have so much in common
  11. Is that what we're calling it now? "Hey girl, how about you walk towards the light?" And Ren, can I start calling you the OriginalElephantMan?
  12. So games (especially RPGs) have always had some morality choices between good or bad, the needs of the few/one or the needs of the many. I love it when there are moral choices to be made in games, even if they are basically transparent like in Bioware games , or more complex and grey as in the Witcher franchise. The first game with morality I ever played was the first Knights of the Old Republic,when I was in elementary school and back then I was a complete douche because: "Yeah, I can choke and use lightning like Darth Vader. I'm such a cool badass!" However, around 7th grade I began hating the "evil" side of the moral compass and since then, I always aim to be the biggest paragon of virtue and kindness, due to various reasons. First, I love the gratification of helping others and bringing them joy; second, my life is already miserable enough, I don't want to see others suffer as well, third it sort of eases my own pain. Now, the interesting part is how this contrasts with reality. IRL I am a spiteful person towards those I don't like, extremely competetive to the point where I need to see others fail so that my victory has meaning and whenever people ask me to do charity or similar work, I shy away to my comfort zone. I can understand how some may enjoy being an egotistical, maniacal villain for several reasons like taking out their stress on the game's characters, feeling all powerful and being able to squish the weak whilst they are strong, etc... but for me, I can't stand watching game characters suffer and it pains me greatly when I can't help a companion or NPC, or if I made the wrong choice, which is why in games like the Witcher I use choice guides on my first playthrough of a game in order to get the best result and so I can avoid anyone suffering. Some may agree with me, others like my friends call me a spineless White Knight faggot for doing it the way I do. Anyway, what type of moral choices do you prefer in games, binary or shades of grey ones? Good or Evil? Do they contrast with how you make similar decisions IRL? Why?
  13. I've also been in college for 2 years now and haven't made a single friend my age. The only close friend I attained by being here is a 33 year old woman, married and has a son (she graduated last year and was my partner in group assignments for a whole year). With her, things went very well, but other than that, I get along well with the teachers and that's it. Most people in my college are girls. Girls who aren't interested in games or Japanese things in general (closest thing is people who watch Game of Thrones) and whenever gaming comes up in classes, they speak of it in a sardonic fashion, as if playing games on YT for a living is the same as being a cancer to society and they also mention that "the people who shoot school kids in the US play games". I think of you as the guy who uses the weird font. Also you wrote a pretty good review Anyway, good to know people see my threads as interesting and not just as "guy's whining again...Great..." . And thank you, mister. I was considering writing another one for a VN not covered yet. Also, think of it this way, you might be alone and lonely, but that's better than having shit friends who are bad influences or abuse you (that's what I try to tell myself at least). And I'm also open for conversation if thou so desireth, good Sir. I am probably not an enticing candidate for dialogue, but as they say on the interwebs:
  14. What are you writing? OELVN project. 13,000-14,000 words in at the moment. Sounds cool. Forgive my noobish ignorance but is it an indie VN or are you with a large company? It's closer to indie than anything else. Generally we're hoping to get a demo up that goes to about the 30,000-40,000 word mark. After that we'll be able to get a kickstarter up and running, and hopefully the demo will serve as a jumpstart to get lots of funds. Sounds like fun! I look forward to checking out the demo! Thank you. Development never moves as smoothly as one would like but at the very least I hope to finish the demo's writing by January. We still need to find artists though ;-; if u need music. I can help We have a composer though he's doing other stuff as well. You'd have to ask him i was joking. My music isn't consumer standard It's always difficult to tell when people are joking. xD if ur interested though, I can give my sound cloud account. I'd love for my music to b3 used in art This almost looks like a work of modern art. Confession: I sometimes wish some of my posts would make people interested in striking a conversation. God, I'm pitiful. Confession 2: I wonder daily what my reputation is here (and even if I have one lol).
  15. I don't know why I am writing here, honestly. Confession: Whenever I see someone here talk about a difficulty in their life, I just feel like being near them and comforting them, which I then feel bad about, because I fear it is a masked sense of pity and I hate that. Confession 2: I respect the fact that people might not be interested or just prefer to keep to themselves, but seeing people here with whom I could be able to be with IRL and ease the loneliness, and thinking that they don't want to makes me feel even worse about having near to no friends. Confession 3: I wish I could make friends here, but even on the Internet I'm too scared to make a first move and feel anxious because I might make myself look stupid and embarass myself. Confession 4: I'm too shy to go the Fuwa TS for the reasons mentioned above.
  16. Now, this isn't being in their world, nor is it becoming that character in heart and soul. Just shapeshifting into their physical appearance whilst being yourself and doing everything as always. Mine is a tie between Hazama or Terumi from Blazblue and Gunji from Togainu no Chi: Hazama: Terumi: Gunji (the blonde on the left) :
  17. Hanachirasu is a revenge story developed by Nitro+, featuring many dark themes and amoral characters. Whilst it was made in 2005, it has withstood the test of time in all aspects and is an excellent, albeit short read. Read the review here! Since this was the first VN review I've written, please leave feedback on what could be improved. Thank you and have a nice day.
  18. Yes, it's me again with yet another pseudo therapy question. Like a friend of mine said, "Woe is you. You like drama so much, you should try theater acting." Anyway, title. Do you need compliments from others to feel acomplished or to feel that you did a good job? Do you think that without recognition from other people, you feel as if your efforts have been for nothing and have achieved naught?
  19. Was going through some tracks from past games for music to use in Rebel Galaxy and nostalgia hit me like a truck:
  20. If my high school experience were a VN, I bet it would be an Utsuge that would only warrant pity. Throughout most of my highschool, I didn't have much free time due to having like 3 extracurricular activites that were very time consuming, in the 10th grade I got bullied and beaten by some pothead until the board of directors intervened and also in the 10th grade I had a big crush on a classmate of mine, who promptly humiliated me in front of a few people (to make matters worse, her gossip friend who tells everyone everything was with her so the next day the whole school knew about my glorious feat). In 11th grade, still no time for myself almost, saw a friendship I deemed great turn sour and abusive as the guy mocked me for one year because my father was dead and his wasn't (this went on for the whole school year because I was lonely and had no other friends to turn to), played World of Warcraft and began spending ludicrous amounts of money behind my mother's back in order to feel a sliver of control and self esteem. In the 12th grade things got somewhat better. After beginning to watch anime and reconnecting with some old friends, I stopped talking to that abusive friend of mine and started hanging out with a group of acquaintances who became good friends of mine, began investing more time in my studies and got better grades, met a girl with similar hobbies to mine and we actually got along well... Then came the time when I had to decide what I was going to study in college, didn't know what I wanted so ended up going to a course chosen by my mother. Before I began college, that girl with similar hobbies found out I had a crush on her and proceeded to dump me because she was in love with a voice actor from Japan. Finally, I went to my high school graduation ceremony and had to hold back a dam's worth of tears because I didn't want to go. When I was talking to my History teacher, he gave me a goodbye hug (never wanted to cry so much in my entire life, yes even when my father died, sue me). Now I'm in my last year of college and that is a whole other can of worms for another time. So yeah, my highschool life can pretty much be described as a Bad End from start to finish. Yay me. Edit: Oh, and I forgot to mention I didn't go to my highschool prom because I didn't have a person to go with and I didn't want to embarass myself for being the lonely fuck who couldn't even get someone to go with him.
  21. Space trading sims are actually kinda fun. Huh.
