Is this the one with the music and rhythm tapping? I had that for awhile. I stopped because it felt like it took too long to get through the storyline...

CONFESSION: Not the most confident person in the world. Not the handsomest either. Wait, how are these confessions...

And here when I saw "game store" I was thinking of boxed role playing sets and minifigures to be painted and way too many CCGs on a shelf...

Just in case you didn't understand, this is a great opportunity to get to know her and try to make a new friend. Friend? I was thinking it was the opportunity to get her number and score a date. Though I've never heard of a game store having a bar...

You're old I'm older. Call me sempai! Can I call you Oji-san? Just don't add the extra i, I'm not THAT old.

That is either going to turn out very well or very, very bad. I'd place my money on very, very bad. Obviously I will choose the girl that wouldn't mind being slapped on the ass. Yes, however the odds of getting the crap smacked out of you by 99 girls who don't appreciate getting slapped on the ass is much, much greater.

That is either going to turn out very well or very, very bad. I'd place my money on very, very bad.

You're old I'm older. Call me sempai!

I have VNDS and they have some VNs already translated for it. Works pretty well on my Samsung tablet. You can get Clannad as an APK. Supposedly you can get Narcissu as an APK as well but it never seems to work on mine. The text gets stuck and repeats from the beginning. There's also a way to backdoor Katawa Shoujo for your Android. You can install the KS APK but you also need to download and move the OBB folder to the correct place for the game to work. There's a decent one called Fragment's Note on the Google Store. There's a trial version and if you like it the paid version is reasonable. MY waifu is from there. ALL HAIL HAYA!!!

There's always Hisui and Kohaku from Tsukihime.

All of the routes are worth exploring for different reasons. Rin's is my personal favorite.

I usually hate grinding. Unless there's something I can do to make it seem less like grinding, I'll usually avoid games that force it on you. For instance, in Drift Girls (fun game) you can change cars around to complete mastery of each car and change waifus around to complete their levels. It feels less like grinding that way.

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED! Wait... CHALLENGE ISSUED!

For some odd reason, I have the hardest time playing evil. Even though I know it's a game and doesn't reflect my worldview at all and it's silly, I have the hardest time doing it. Deus Ex? I prodded and tranqued and batoned all the enemies. Planescape: Torment? I did all good deeds and was nice. DnD? I play paladins. I had to read about

May I call you senpai, Abyssal Money?

Ahhh so you guys started as an internet thing and married when you were 27. Wow really inspiring story. Thanks for sharing. I'm still 24 and there are still many challenges ahead of me. Your story gives me hope and optimism in life. One thing I realized was I definitely have to step my game up when it comes to finance and general real life stuff. You made it happen. You flew to NH and Florida. I can relate to this. I'm soon leaving NJ (by next week). I've lived a decade in Jersey City area; absolutely hate this place... but I'm hopeful I'll be in a better place. I can attest that online interactions really help break the ice. It helps develop relationships that otherwise wouldn't happen in real life. Long distance is definitely not viable for the long-term though... It's tough. Yep, it started completely over the internet, though that doesn't surprise me as much as it used to. But that's what can be great about the internet, you can be who you are and likely find many others like you who will like you. It takes effort to meet those people in person, though, since it's unlikely they're that close to you, but even just having a friend you type with is a great thing to have. And yep, you've got a lot ahead of you at 24. Getting out of a place you don't like may help. I'm from Cape May County and while I loved it, it's a tourist trap that dies around September every year. I liked New Hampshire but there wasn't much reason to stay after the paper made its changes. I'd hate to think where I'd be had I picked the option of going home to NJ. Florida was the right call.

urelated question, how many places in America have the same name as place's in England? A lot. Considering there's an entire region nicknamed "New England" you would't be surprised at how many places have the same names England, especially since much of America's history comes directly from there - England had the strongest influence in America after all, with France and Spain behind it. Heck, I went to college in York, PA and Lancaster, PA is east of York.

Confession: Being an older nerd who had social problems makes me sad reading this. Because I want to help. I really do. I've been there, and it's not always easy. So, I'll try as best I can here. CHALLENGE: I'm going to tell you some things about myself here. At the end, I'm going to give you my email address. Zodai already has it, but he had a good day. Seriously, just write me about something. Anything. Consider me an email Pen Pal. Frankly, I always wanted pen pals anyway. No pressure, and you don't have to give all your personal details or anything - I'm not here to stalk you. Just type. My name's Robert, most people call me Bo. I'm 38 years old and I live in Florida, but I'm originally from a tourist trap part of New Jersey. Growing up I was into golf, tennis and band (symphonic and marching). I didn't date a lot in high school. Maybe because I tried too hard and approached it wrong. I wrote poetry all the time, though I'd be hard pressed to find any of it now. I didn't really keep track of it after college, where I also dated infrequently. It wasn't until after college that I got into comics. I took a liking to X-Men and particularly Gambit, and when Marvel cancelled his ongoing series I got really pissed and looked for alternatives. I ran into a start-up called CrossGen Comics, and started reading those, and I also signed up for their forums/chat room. In another thread I mentioned you could be anyone online, I found it easier to be myself. I wasn't lying. I never tried to pretend to be anything. While on the CrossGen site, I easily talked with many people, including females. And I'm not lying when I say that it somehow managed to have at least four different women interested in me. At the time I was living at home in NJ, working part time as a sports correspondent, part time at an Atlantic City paper and then full time at an Egg Harbor Township one. I was looking for a better paying position, and I went on an interview for a new weekly paper in New Hampshire. On the way there I stopped at one of those girl's places in Connecticut, and almost ended up with her. I got the position, and upon hearing it, a woman in Florida actually flew to NH to meet me - ultimately because she was afraid I'd end up with the girl in Connecticut. So she came up, and it went very well. In VN terms it was certainly a turn down what seemed to be the good path - if it was a Steam game someone at Fuwa would be adding the sex patch. We had a long distance relationship for a year, at that time the paper decided to go in a different direction and replaced almost all of its staff, me included. So, it was either go back to NJ, or go to Florida. I went to Florida. The only person in Florida I knew was my girlfriend. Scary, especially if it didn't work out than I'd be moving again. Fortunately, it worked out. It wasn't always easy, but it was worth it. I've been married to her since December 2004 and we have two girls together. And I only won her over because I acted normal. I talked with her. Treated her with respect. Listened to her. Etc. I'm not an ugly guy. but I'm not particularly handsome, either. Anyway, there's me for you. So here's my address: [email protected]. You don't have to write your personal narrative or anything like me - just write about something. Anything. The VN you're reading. Favorite sports team. The weather. Whatever. You'll likely never meet me in person, but I want you to at least feel like there's someone who'll listen to you. You can consider me your friend even. And why not? The closest person in my life started out as internet data on a screen.

Problem: he still needs a better attitude than, "I'll only ever be able to pay for pussy" to obtain a good one night stand, or at least be able to fake a good attitude.

I think you forgot the STROKE-IMPACT font somewhere there...

While I wouldn't classify myself and my wife like that, she's definitely the more attractive one of us. I'm average, always a bit stocky, but I've dropped weight this year. She's thin. Well, not as thin as she used to be, because she grew hips and a butt. Married over 10 years now and have two daughters together (which explains the hips and butt). It wasn't my looks, but who I was and how I treated her.

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). It's not pitiful to want human interaction. Think of something you want to talk about and start a thread. Maybe it takes off, maybe it doesn't. But if you don't try...

Key word being "most" I’ve readily admitted I don’t know the guy. I’m going on the assumption that he’s probably like everyone else who has problems with the opposite sex – unsure of himself, no confidence, etc. To be frank, there are very few people in the world who are repulsive enough in any way to not be desirable to everyone else. Most people are generally average-looking, and the outliers are the gorgeous and disgusting. The 99% in between all fall somewhere in the middle. And personalities are so different from person to person it’s hard to gauge exactly what one wants. I would wager that if we took enough females from even just this forum, and put them in proximity with one of the guys, eventually one girl would find enough common ground to like the guy enough to fool around, given enough time. make that at most 97% probably higher by some's standards. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epidemiology_of_obesity#United_States where 6% of the population is class 3 obese. Probably not "average" by any stretch. Not to nitpick, but some people do have minimum standards, and the number of people fitting them are ironically shrinking due to expansion. As a sanity check, in the cafe in during in right now, judging purely by appearances, I'd only dare to talk to 7 out of the 11 females, with one of them I wouldn't go in a metre of. This is actually pretty amusing from my perspective. One of the first thing any science teaches you is to get more than one sample, and statistics says to get a lot of them. You are really selling yourself out without reason without getting a second opinion. Also, do you not have a job or go to school? Being isolated in your house is really the only way I can imagine not running into a member of 50% of the population. The odds are in your favor... 97% is still astoundingly high, even if we use that as a maximum. We'd also have to factor in what exactly are a person's minimum standards. There's also a lot of body image problems being tackled in the US, where standards of beauty are being challenged. When someone says the term obese, it's a clinical term for medical purposes, however, it doesn't necessarily take into account beauty or attraction. There are obese people who are genuinely attractive despite their size. And then there are raging fatass obese people. And that still doesn't take into account personality. Some of the most beautiful people are real assholes, and some of the fattest people are the sweetest people you can meet. So it comes back to the individual and what they want, or as you say, minimum standards. Some people have ridiculously high standards, others have none. I would guess most people have standards that include compromise for certain factors, i.e. "I can deal with X because he/she is so good at y." Which of course still brings us back to the point I think we agree on: if you try hard enough with the right attitude, you're more likely than not to find someone.

I'm always willing to help. I can give you my email address and you can toss whatever you like at me. Maybe I can jog your brain for ideas.

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 ;-; Sorry, I can't draw. If you ever need an extra proofreader I'd be willing to help, though.
