  1. Coming from an environment of mine, there's no way I could ever prefer those VNs with H-scene (even if I wanted to). Moreover, since I'm a first child and have many sisters, I have a dignity to keep and a duty to protect them. Therefore, my favourite VNs are mostly all-ages version (Clannad, Little Busters!, Steins;Gate) or Vn with a few h-scenes (Tears to Tiara, Grisaia no Kajitsu).
  2. Good luck guys! It's only natural for one person's opinions and preferences to differ with the others. I haven't ever played majikoi yet, but as far as I can see, it seems not to be a bad VN. Talking about H scene, I remember that I ever played Sharin - Yuukyuu in a public computer booth. I think it's safe to play on public because I will only "preview" it, in other words see only the beginning scenes. But damn that Natsumi part, I was truly shocked that right at the beginning the h-scene popped out. Thankfully, no one seems to care (but I'm sure deep inside some of them thought I'm a big pervert to play such a game on public.). I have a similar experience of being hated because of criticizing this anime. It seems like a local fan base made me into an enemy of some sort.
  3. Today's trivia: Did you know that hydrogen gas is the least dense substance in the world?
  4. it still wont fit, in a 3d size the volume would not fit every planet. you looking at it as numeric number, not the actual size from the 360 degree. In real life if we did have the power to mess around with it, most likely the gas planets will mix together to make a new and bigger planet that can fit all physical planets plus the moons as well as asteroids. as it stands it cannot fit every planet, number wize it can. You're missing my point. What you mean by 360 degree actual size is their geometry, I know that much. That's why I said "I mean it volume-wise, but my wording "could fit" did imply that the geometry should also be regarded, which would mean that trivia is wrong.". In the next sentences, why do you think I used containers as imagery comparison? Because containers are used to contain something, usually fluids. As you know, fluid's geometry always depends on its container. I also didn't mention that the container's geometry should be the same as the planets'. When the container is ball-shaped, the fluid will also be ball-shaped. When the container is cube-shaped, the fluid will also be cube-shaped. When looking at the container's volume filled with fluids, you certainly understand my imagery comparison now, don't you? fun fact, volume is not used in measuring things in space: angular distance with the help of the sun The diameter or d/2 = Dsin(α/2) where d is the diameter, D is distance to the object, and α is the subtended angle. and lastly the hard long way, Satellite Imaging so ya we "might" have the right size but the numbers might be wrong. Jupiter size is that example of where we could be wrong, we are only human mistakes happen when we counting. About this reply of yours, it didn't really connect with his post. Measurement is the assignment of a number to a characteristic of an object or event, which can be compared with other objects or events. Or more simply, Measurement is finding a number that shows the comparison of something with the others. In physics, this comparative characteristics of an object or event are called Physical Quantities. Volume and distance are two of these physical quantities. Volume is the quantity of three-dimensional space enclosed by some closed boundary, for example, the space that a substance (solid, liquid, gas, or plasma) or shape occupies or contains. Meanwhile, distance is a numerical description of how far apart objects are. Diameter, radius, length, depth, width, etc. are variants of distance. Therefore, this reply of yours didn't really connect with his post. About wrong measurement, surely we are humans so it's natural and inevitable to make mistakes sometime. Measurement will surely has something called measurement error. You can read a detailed explanation of measurement error here, http://www.physics.nmsu.edu/research/lab110g/html/ERRORS.html. You can see there that human error is not the only thing causing measurement result to be not actually exactly the same as its actual value. But humans are able to think, reflect, evaluate, develop, and improve with all their might despite limitations of their abilities, capabilities, time, and resources. Thinking it positively, all data of measurement value we have right now might still far from its actual value, but surely it will get closer and closer to its actual value along with time.
  5. I see, that's certainly true. I'll use the blog instead then.
  6. Hmmm, I see, it's rather difficult and complicated to translate language with a fixed degree of formality to another which has no fixed one. All the more difficult because I'm not a native speaker. Also, those slangs like gotta, wanna, 'cause or 'cuz are originated from AmE, right? It's troubling because mainly I use BE (or something BE-ish, but still keeping the Japanese atmosphere as much as I can). About the translation, does this sound formal? 分かっちゃったんですか? => You're able to understand that? あなたが断るんですかっ!? => So you're the one who turns it down? For the second sentence, it's rather troubling because the context is that the main protagonist asked (rather forcefully) his club president to "reject" (he used informal speech) the request from the student council president, "すぐに断ってこい!". Before the club president could say a thing, the student council president suddenly barged in and said, "お断りだ!". The main protagonist immediately replied with the sentence above (this time, a formal speech). Two things I found troubling are, If I use "reject" for his informal speech then "turn down" for his formal speech, won't this sound rather inconsistent? あなた which is emphasized in the Japanese sentence, does my translation still keep this emphasis? Once again, thanks in advance.
  7. Hmm, maybe I said it the wrong way. I mean it volume-wise, but my wording "could fit" did imply that the geometry should also be regarded, which would mean that trivia is wrong. However, say, you have containers with the same volume of each one of the planets in our solar system. Then you fill them with anything you want, for example, water. All the water contained in all other containers other than the biggest one could fit inside the biggest container, that has the same volume as Jupiter.
  8. Oh, you mean, there is such an ancient greek poem? Then I'm sorry for being narrow-minded, so that's true, eh? Then it's ok. Maybe the way I said it is biased but I did say that you may reply with anything concerning the trivia, so your line of thinking's not wrong. Although the reply don't have to be a trivia too, it could be a comment, a question, or other replies.
  9. Oh my, XReaper-san, I intended this thread to be a collection of "true" or "right" trivia but well, you may add any trivia you like, even if it's a joke.
  10. Yup, that's it, Hakuoro-san, thank you. I have only watched the first episode but I think it's quite good, save for its absurdity. But hey, talking about absurdity, Naruto is also absurd, but for some reasons I don't know, it's unbelievably popular. I guess all anime included in Fantasy genre will certainly have some absurdities. If I have to give this anime a score, out of ten, I'll give it 7.5.
  11. Then what about these, dowolf-san? 分かっちゃったんですか? あなたが断るんですかっ!? How should I translate them "formally"? Thanks in advance.
  12. As the title said, I'll regularly post trivia in this thread, one trivia each time I login. So you may reply with anything concerning the trivia. Then let's start with the first trivia: Did you know that all the other planets in our solar system could fit inside Jupiter?
  13. Before I start, let me ask, may I make a diary-like thread? Basically routinely posting my activities since the last time I logged in. If it's permitted, is "Members' Lounge" the right place for posting it?
  14. In a nutshell, I've seen this only once, but if I remember it correctly, it's quite interesting. The only things I remember are that the main protagonist was a student (who has to repeat his grade) for some reason, he got caught in a battle between humans and umm, zombies, I think he met with some girls (who are likely in some sort of organization) inside an umm, airplane I think. If I'm not mistaken he had a sword as his weapon and there's a girl working with him holding a weapon something like bazooka of some sort. the only memorable scene is when a zombie snuck from behind him to attack but he just nonchalantly hit the zombie without even looking back. I'm sorry if the clues are not very helpful, but I'll be glad if you can help me find this anime.
  15. Aren't you two afraid that I'm invisibly stalking you?

  20. Welcome, welcome, welcome Sheonori-san to our lair. Enjoy your time and relax here. Feel free to ask/discuss/share anything with us. You can see my VN preference on VNDB. Hope that it'll help you. About your english, don't worry, I won't hit you unless you irritate me for some reason. Regarding VNs, they're games and also novels, so you can either "play" them or "read" them.
  21. Welcome, welcome, welcome Baldur-san to our lair. Enjoy your time and relax here. Feel free to ask/discuss/share anything with us. I laconic people.
  22. Welcome, welcome, welcome canicheslayer-san to our lair. Enjoy your time and relax here. Feel free to ask/discuss/share anything with us. Your VN preference seems to match mine.
  23. Welcome, welcome, welcome alissialinney-san to our lair. Enjoy your time and relax here. Feel free to ask/discuss/share anything with us. You can see my VNDB list to see my preference.
  24. Welcome, welcome, welcome MX-Futhark-san to our lair. Enjoy your time and relax here. Feel free to ask/discuss/share anything with us. About Monmusu Quest, it's actually one game divided into three parts, not three separate games, but who cares about such a technical matter.
  25. Welcome, welcome, welcome Equestrian_Gamer-san to our lair. Enjoy your time and relax here. Feel free to ask/discuss/share anything with us. I wonder how exactly can you play PC games while riding horses (or ponies)?
