DarkZedge got a reaction from GB_ in Post your desktop screen shot
Simple yet elegant, I have the same wallpaper on both my screens and I think it looks pretty good even if it's simple. I like having it clean and in order too :3

DarkZedge got a reaction from Chronopolis in Post your desktop screen shot
Even though I only recently had posted that one, the reality is that I had it for a long while and I decided to change my whole desktop around this time, because why not ?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Finding this amazing Megumin wallpaper helped me make up my mind about it.

DarkZedge reacted to Nandemonai in Shin Koihime Musou Translation Project
Okay, everything that has been edited is now properly accounted for in the tools. Here is the current project status (all of these are edited percentages):
Total edited: 5609/108888 (5.2%)
Shoku route: 2860/41882 (6.8%)
Gi route: 1390/38852 (3.6%)
Go route: 1358/25983 (5.2%)
Kan route: 1/2171 (basically 0%)
Over the course of my time on this project I transitioned, basically, from translating the remaining h-scenes into being a transleditor. Nobody else was willing to do it, and the script needs some serious whipping into shape. Also, I was much more haphazard in my editing before. I would simply edit parts of files that clearly needed it as I happened to stumble across them. This is reflected in the editing percentages, which are haphazard and show a lot of minor work mostly spread across the whole project, while a few files were very heavily edited. For example, the majority of what is "edited" in Go happens to be the parts of Non's h-scenes that I translated (which mostly required only minor touching up).
Then the tools were ready. And with the tools came nice stats. With the stats, a good look at the state of the script. I hadn't realized exactly how big the script was. It's more than a hundred thousand lines! No, I'm not going anywhere. Don't panic. (And put this fish in your ear. Trust me.)
But it does mean a change in approach. As many of you probably know, the game is split into three routes (and one final bonus route, Kan), one for each of the three factions Shoku, Gi, and Go. From now on, we are doing one route at a time. First up is Shoku. It's the longest, and it's the one our translator has decided to focus on finishing the h-scenes for.
This doesn't really mean much. The editing percentages for other routes just won't move for awhile. No, it's not your imagination. Yes, it's on purpose.

DarkZedge reacted to Kaguya in 50 translated VNs you should read before you die
This list won't feature the VNs in order of "how good they are". Rating them would be way too much of a clusterfuck to me.
The VNs are not in their respective order. Meaning number 1 is not the best, and so on.
1_CHAOS; HEAD
2_Cross Channel
3_G-Senjou no Maou
4_Fate/Stay Night
5_Forest
This Visual Novel is the easiest visual novel translated to get a bad ending without using a walkthrough- which just adds to the fun of it. It makes a massive amount of references to common literature, which makes it even better.
6_Katahane
It may seem like an ordinary moege- the atmosphere is light, the story is full of cuteness, which you can note by the character design and soundtrack. It gets really good in the middle, and you'll be dying to know what happens in the end. A game with multiple perspectives, it's definitely one of the most enjoyable Visual Novels I've ever read.
7 Majikoi
8_Little Busters!
9_Tsukihime
"You shouldn't tell lies that you can't even fool yourself with"
10_Swan Song
A post apocalyptic Visual Novel.
11_Symphonic Rain
It may seem like your ordinary moege. Trust me, it's not.
12_Sharin no Kuni, Himawari no Shoujo (and sequel)
13_Sekien no Inganock
Steampunk. An atmosphere full of mysteries and references that will make your head blow up.
14_Steins; Gate
A visual novel that deals extensively with time travel and it's consequences.
15_Utawarerumono
16_Fault: Milestone (1 & 2)
17_Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni
18_Kara no Shoujo
19_Umineko no Naku Koro ni
20_Planetarian
21_Ever 17
Another top 10.
22_Remember11
It lacks in the ending, but otherwise the story of this VN has enough to easily become one of my all-time favorites.
23_Zanmataisei Demonbane
24_Rewrite
"Could it possibly be rewritten, this fate of hers?"
Another one that enters the top 10.
25_Narcissu
26_Grisaia no Kajitsu
27_Saya no Uta
Only if you enjoy dark and messed up settings.
28_Higanbana no Saku Yoru ni
29_Eien no Aselia
30_Rose Guns Days (1 & 2)
There are small sections of gameplay on this one, but you can skip them by pressing the space bar, so this still qualifies.
31_Sengoku Rance
I feel obliged to comment on this VN before suggesting it to anyone. It's an Alicesoft title, which speaks a lot for itself... If you don't know how it's going to be like, well.. Kind of tough to describe. Lots of sex, including comedy rape. Alicesoft tends to make the whole story a comedy until right near the end, where things actually do get serious. It's worth checking out, if you don't mind Rance's personality.
32_Phenomeno
Want a short VN that can captivate you for their whole duration? Here is it.
Visual novel adapted from the youth horror novel written by Hajime Ninomae and illustrated by yoshitoshi ABe.
33_Ef- A Fairy Tale of the Two
34_Dysfunctional Systems
Another one great for those who want short Visual Novels.
35_Daibanchou
Another Alicesoft title. While Rouga is not near Rance's level when it comes to pissing off people, alicesoft's style is something which often doesn't please people.
36_Yume Miru Kusuri
The endings pack quite a punch.
37_Kikokugai- The Cyber Slayer
38_Eden
39_Hoshizora no Memoria
40_Katawa Shoujo
Yep, it's somewhat overrated. Still, the fact that it is substantially easier for those who are starting to play visual novels to read should not be discarded, and overall, the story was good.
41_World End Economica
42_YU-NO
43_Shikkoku no Sharnoth
Yep, there is a minigame on this one. If you download a save data you can skip the minigame, though. So it still qualifies. Another VN that enters my top 10.
44_Muv Luv Alternative
The first Muv Luv didn't have enough to enter this list. You should still read it, though~
MLA is definitely awesome.
45_Dangan Ronpa
46_Comyu - Kuroi Ryuu to Yasashii Oukoku
47_Hanachirasu
48_Ayakashibito
49_I/O
50_Deardrops

DarkZedge reacted to Nandemonai in Shin Koihime Musou Translation Project
Alright, update time. All the work on massaging the scripts into the format needed by the scripts is done. Now we are waiting for our programmer to finish integrating the scripts into the tools. We should be able to start giving percentages in a few weeks. (At least, a translated percentage. Some stuff has been edited, but the new tools distinguish between "translated" and "edited", where the old format we were using before does not. So some things were edited but the tools won't know that until someone goes and fills all that in.)

DarkZedge reacted to skrewball717 in R.I.P. Chester Bennington
http://www.tmz.com/2017/07/20/linkin-park-singer-chester-bennington-dead-commits-suicide/
Such a sad day and huge loss for the music industry. Linkin Park has been my favorite band since HT first came out back in elementary school, so this is truly crushing.
You will be missed Chester. Plan on solemnly listening to LP for a while. Really in total shock.

DarkZedge got a reaction from krill in Welcome to the SpamDungeon: Yet 'Nother Public Fuwa Discord Server
We started as a pm group which lasted a long time that eventually made the transition to discord and we've been running it there for a good while, we thought it'd be a good idea to make it more open or public so to speak and to let those from the community join if they so desired. The server is currently being upheld by myself & @Arcadeotic.
Now I'll stop rambling and provide an invite to the place, feel free to join in and have fun chatting or sharing whatever you want.

DarkZedge reacted to Dergonu in New to VN's
OP, note that this is sarcasm.
See this thread for info on why.
Hmm, have you checked out the 50 translated VNs you should read before you die thread? Lots of great VN recommendations for beginners there.
My personal recommendations would be Grisaia no Kajitsu and Eden*.

DarkZedge reacted to Nandemonai in Shin Koihime Musou Translation Project
OK, so apparently, completion percentages come along with the tools. The tools are more or less ready, but the scripts aren't quite in the format that the tools want. Conversion is almost done.
-
DarkZedge reacted to Nandemonai in Shin Koihime Musou Translation Project
No, it's not dead. Work proceeds, but the game is huge. I'm not sure who is supposed to be coming up with status updates or completion percentages. I'll see if I can come up with something.

DarkZedge got a reaction from InvertMouse in Replayability in games and visual novels
You do have a valid point, you don't so much replay the whole game as you simply skip over to the fork in the road and choose differently but you're still playing the game again even if only partially

DarkZedge got a reaction from InvertMouse in Replayability in games and visual novels
Since visual novels having more than one route has become sort of a "expected" thing and it already counts as replay value, I'd consider extra if it has unlockeable routes or perhaps hidden extras and so on. In this day and age where games and visual novels along with basically every other medium gets more expensive it's important for them to be replayable but shouldn't really be forced, I've always considered that it was important for the consumer to feel like he got his money's worth of content.
