You can also play VNs on potato laptops, even netbooks or whatever they are called nowadays. Most of the available VNs are designed for Win XP or Vista. Also don't leave Linux outside, it swallows a lot of VNs.

Obviously VNs appeal to gamers with potato PCs who coincidentally tend to have lower budgets, so I guess they play a lot of free VNs. The gamer/VN-player multiclass also exists, and those people have decent PCs, so they're not shy about spending some bucks on a VN, I guess they want quality above all. I've spent around 400 euros on my Steam library, or so it says, and most of that is VNs, so there you have it.

It's just that those labels tend to, not only not give you a sound idea of what game you're getting into, but, some of them overlap in a lot of games. For example, even though I've found people who disagree with me, I consider Key full-blown moe, you're made to care for the heroines presenting drama as a way of "bonding" with them. Oh, poor girl, let's see what happens to her. Strictly better than having no interest in a character, but along moe lines. The feeling you get from classic Key heroines is akin to moe (I bet most of you find them adorable, and the Facebook Key fangroup is scary at times). I also consider Hoshimemo to be a nakige (and moege too), but fundamentally different from Key. In fact, along the years we've had lots of attempts at the nakige formula. And charage vs. moege? Who can tell them apart? It's more that charage is a subdivision of moege, in my view. Like someone said even chuuni is a brand of moege, because it's a field that appeals to otaku.

Actually I prefer to buy in dollars since my currency is the euro. Though Steam sales are good, they aren't that good when it comes to VNs. I mean, in some months FF15, released this year, has been at 50%. To see that in a VN we have to wait ages. But, localisation companies' sales in their stores is heavenly. Besides, this is the proper way, as you give the full value of your money to them.

I don't think we'll reach a satisfying solution, as 18+ content is just the tip of the iceberg with eroge/nukige. I certainly don't want to read endless vanilla H-scenes, I don't mind if they're axed. And the "spicier" content won't probably make it. The heroines' age is certainly laughable, if they're worried of underage sex the majority of games should be censored because the heroines being legal adults is just a lie, happening in high school and whatnot. Let's just face it, fetish eroge are niche and need to stay that way. This Negligee looks like a Western LGBT game (more than yuri really), and it kinda seems Steam is more readily to accept this than the Asian way of tackling sex... and fetishes.

You'll like an animu called, "The secret of blue water" (America) or "Nadia of the mysterious seas" (adapted from Japanese). Early 90s.

The only VNs I would be willing to revisit would be: - Katawa Shoujo: tried to reread my fav routes, but gave up. - Little Busters: I'd reread it whole, Steam version with bonus routes so not everything is already seen. - Period: there is a couple routes I'd like to review. And, of course, Steins;Gate and S;G 0. I've played those 2 times each, last year and this year. I'm kinda wanting to play them again next year. Add to that a complete Let's Play of base S;G, that was when I first heard of it.

Playing Chaos;Head...

Yukizakura- A teacher who likes to drink. Crescendo- A nurse heroine no less, and great at that. Period- Another nurse! But this time around, the route feels like a bonus, it's probably the shortest in the game.
-
A shame, I played the whole game but I discarded my saves. In the future I should keep them. Note: I read Chisato's

Well, I suppose Hotaru getting a route and getting could have been interesting. Sigh.
