    Well if that is your stance on it, you don't need to be a part of the discussion. It means something to certain people, even if it's just useless porn to you. 
     
    This was ... interesting. Obviously the guy making free patches is in the wrong, but the absolutely childish behavoir from the SP guy is really pathetic to look at. And the fact that he does it openly to the public makes it 10x worse. 
    As for the price of the H-content, honestly, I don't care. I want the game the way it was meant to be played, and I'll pay whatever price they put it down for. At least it means we don't have a censored release like G-senjou again when they make patches, even if you have to pay extra for it. FrontWing just did the same thing with Corona Blossom, so it's not just SP.

    How can a grown up man act like a child on the internet? He is the CEO of a company for god's sake, he should act like an adult for once!

    Not sure if true. I thought there was always a good balance. Some nukige, some charage and some serious games. Like today.
    If you don't mind, I will give my own opinions about your recommendations. Let's make this an old school eroge recommendation thread!
    Private Nurse:
    Interesting premise, but awfully paced execution. The game is simply too long for its own good. At first, the game tells you it will only span a week. And by the end of the week, it's already really boring. But then it will extend its time period to a full month! In the last weeks, every day is literally the same. (And with literally I really mean "word for word" the same.) And the ending was also a punch in your face.
    I really wanted to like this game, but I couldn't.
    Figures of Happiness:
    Probably the first eroge which really offended me. This game is simply rage-inducing from the first minute on. And it will never get better. It may make you think that there will be a pay-off in the end ... but there will be another twist which makes everything even worse. Horrible, horrible game.
    Brave Soul:
    I had fun with this. For me still the best officially released HRPG in English. Characters are fun, gameplay is fun, it's just good fun.
    Hourglass of Summer:
    Mediocre, I guess? Well, I liked that everything was voiced, even the narration. But it really couldn't live up to its potential, I think. Not really bad though.. just not really good.
    Snow Sakura:
    Mediocre again, I guess? It's full of anime and otaku references which I found quite funny back then, but newfags probably won't get them nowadays, lol.
    Princess Waltz:
    Haven't played that. I stopped reading English translated eroge when it came out.
    Family Project:
    Haven't read it either. Or rather I stopped after the OP or something. It was funny, but it couldn't really hook me.
    Crescendo:
    Red and Green route were quite good. Whore route was lulz. Sister route was cringy. Teacher route simply bad. ...hidden route actually really good. Liked it.
    Kana:
    Now that one is awesome. Of course only the original version. Not the disgusting Okaeri-remake.
    Phantom of Inferno:
    Haven't played it because some guy standing right before me in line bought it before I could. Bought Hourglass of Summer instead. Not sure if that was the better option, lol.

    thanks to @CeruleanGamer having been the more fast one my recommendations are now obsolete.
    not much to say, just try reading those mentioned above, especially lune bitters has quite the cool lineup.
    anyway, just in case you´re also looking for sth more archaic, go for bishop´s titles, as they know how to deliver stuff in a good & believable manner. lots of chicks are getting abused/harmed in a sexual manner and it´s mostly none other than your fictional self (mc). almost the same goes for some of lune´s other titles such as jutaijima & fuurinkanzan (GO FUCKING READ THAT ONE!!!). aside from these you might want to look into silky´s jokei kazoku series, you might...

    edit: ALMOST forgot mentioning isaku´s /shuusaku´s/kisaku´s literary superiority in every possible regard. it´s raw, it´s ugly, it´s archaic urges at their very best - pretty much the genre´s deconstruction par excellence.
    simply wonderful!

    edit2: on another note waffle´s yabai! has a certain nostalgic flair about it, you know, that glorious depiction of rape/physical violence as it´s been originally intended, unlike the vanilla-lized travesty it turned into over the past years, like when rape still wasnt sth to be enjoyed , but used for eradicating a peoples body & soul instead.
    edit3: wouldn´t include the tantaidans in the list of ntr-focused titles by default, simply because there´s way more to the pretty cool series, than its trait of sexual abuse. basically saying you´re going to be dissappointed if that´s the only thing you´re looking forward to. otherwise go for it, it´s well worth the invested time.

    The problem isn't so much that they are gathering data. Like you said, every place on the Internet does that. And in most cases, it's not harmful.
    The problem here is more what they are collecting and who can access it. The answer to the what is "everything", the answer to the who is "the NSA". And this is harmful, indeed.

    Tyr got a reaction from Darklord Rooke in What do you guys think about the term "Weeaboo"   
    http://www.pbfcomics.com/71/
    Of course, in this comic the word didn't have this meaning yet which it got later when 4chan banned "wapanese" and people used "weeaboo" instead.
    Rooke is pretty much spot on with his definition. This was indeed the meaning the word got when 4channer used it.
    Sadly, some newfags misused the word in recent years. Casual new anime-fans are using the term weeaboo to insult serious fans of the genre. Probably because they can't distinguish between a weeaboo and an otaku. Or both look the same for them because casuals don't understand the concept of taking one's hobby seriously. "Anime" is mainstream now and normies want to dissociate themselves from freaks. Doesn't matter whether the freak is an otaku or a weeaboo.
    Because of the frequent misusing many people think a weeaboo is someone who likes Japanese/Asian entertainment in general. That is wrong. Being a weeaboo or an otaku is mutual exclusive.
    The most important trait of a weeaboo is that he has only superficial knowledge and enthusiasm for his hobby even though he might think otherwise. Exactly the opposite of what makes someone an otaku.
    A weeaboo thinks anime is the best thing ever, but he actually only watched the 1% of the latest mainstream shows because he doesn't really care for the medium itself.
    A weeaboo wants to learn Japanese so he can visit Japan and read manga/watch anime/play eroge in Japanese, but he never will.
    A weeaboo thinks Japanese culture is great, but he doesn't even know that there is more to Japan than Akihabara and Shibuya.
    A weeaboo wants to have a Japanese boyfriend/girlfriend, but in the end everyone looking Asian will be fine. (Oh yes, that is a thing. Back then when I still had weeb friends, nearly everyone had his token Asian bf/gf.)

    Tyr reacted to Darklord Rooke in What is a weaboo?   
    In my experience, the people who show the most hostility toward 'weeaboos' are people in the West familiar with Japanese culture. Because 'weeaboos' love Japanese culture but aren't familiar with it, those who ARE knowledgeable tend to look down on them. Take for example the amount of Japanese pandering in OELVNs, it's consumers of Japanese media that led the criticism against these games, not the general public itself. The general 'Western' public wouldn't know the difference between a 'weeaboo', an 'otaku', and a general nerd. In fact, the general 'Western' public wouldn't know the term 'weeaboo'.
    I therefore find comments about the "West's" attitude to weeboos to be suspect, TBH.

    Playing the game right now too.
    The English title is extremely stupid.
    I like the piano soundtrack. Though I must say it lacks character. Even though it's good ambient music, it's pretty bland. It reuses old Square-Enix music themes, but doesn't really find its own distinctive style.
    The story is pretty generic, but I guess that is the point. The game is hilariously pretentious, but to be honest, retro JRPGs took themselves way too seriously too ... and we loved it. I'm certainly enjoying it.
    However, the characters are really a little too bland and forgettable. Sure, they're fine.. but really nothing more. The main character with his pseudo choices is very retro ... but in a bad way. The game tries to copy Chrono Trigger, but Endir is by far no Crono, that's for sure.
    Regarding convoluted combat: The time stops when you target an enemy, even if you play in Active Mode. It's really important in this game which enemy you attack, so don't just button smash your way through.
    People saying the game is too easy and it's indeed easy ... but only if you are playing good or you grind too much (which is easily possible when you try to farm drops). If you don't use your techs wisely, it will be very hard.
    If you try to get drops, the combat system is actually pretty interesting and it's fun trying to find out the best combinations of techs to maximize the looting.

    either way fairly good so far, the combat sometimes is a bit convoluted because you don't have much time to react so you just keep attacking and you win XD 

    The music is good, the art too and the story...well can't say much yet but so far I think it's a good rpg.

    I don't understand why any of this would be necessary.
    Tay said the PC was encrypted. That's enough. There is no way anyone can access the data on the hard drives. (If that wasn't the case, the encryption would be meaningless. And I assume Tay wouldn't use a meaningless encryption.)
    Changing everything, especially e-mail addresses, is a hassle not worth it if there is no benefit at all. In fact, I think it's pretty hard and stressful to coordinate such an intensive change of private information.
    And, like I said, nothing of this is necessary. The PC was encrypted. No one can crack this safe. Tay's private information is secure.

    DMM games use a different executable file than the normal package version. That's probably why VNR can't find the right place to hook. You can tell VNR where to hook by finding the right H-Code for your copy. This is easily done by comparing the pirated version with the DMM one. Look at which place VNR hooks the game, then search for this bit pattern in the DMM release and hook with the same H-Code at this new address.
    You probably didn't crack your pirated version correctly if it crashes after starting. But I don't have the game so I can't reproduce the error for you, sorry.

    Tyr got a reaction from Xykros in Nukiges with great story   
    If you talk about "great story" in the context of nukige, it doesn't mean the same thing as if you were talking about normal eroge.
    "Good" story in the context of porn means that it's a story that greatly enhances the porn. It does not mean that it's a good story in itself, because then the game wouldn't be a nukige anymore.
    This is a concept most people, especially Western people don't understand. For example, there is nearly no Western pron flick with a good story, because most people think that story is unnecessary in pron (such plebs!) or if they try to write a story into their porn movies, it's extremely boring, pointless, pretentious, quickly forgotten during the sex act and certainly never erotic.
    Asians are different. Japanese are very good at presenting porn scenes in a very erotic context. Just look at all the different JAV scenarios or thousands of pink eiga. Korean soft porn flicks are also pretty good at this.
    Keeping that in mind, euphoria certainly is not a nukige for example. Despite the initially high density of hentai scenes, when the story comes in, the ratio of hentai scenes drops. That's because in the case of euphoria, the hentai scenes enhance the story, not the other way around (story enhances the hentai).
     
    Well, nukige I think have a good story:
    Definitely Yabai which was already mentioned by @XReaper. The revenge aspect makes the hentai scenes much more satisfying and extreme. And the story parts really add to the characterization. The detective gameplay and storyline would probably not be enough for a normal eroge, in this case however it's perfect and exactly what this nukige needed. One of the best I have ever played. Everything by Amagasa, especially Virgin Load. OMG I can't even. It's just perfect. Toki o Kakeru Shojo. The storyline is great. Very dark humor, but still very interesting and actually quite cleverly written. The Yami no Koe series. It's like 90% hentai, but the scenes between are so full of characterization and development that it really makes the following hentai scenes so much more engaging.
