I'll be picking this up once I clear out the more immediate titles I want to read. I'm assuming that if you liked LWR2, this is pretty much exactly the same?

Welcome to Fuwanovel, it's good to have you on the forums.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SANADA. YOU ARE MISSED.

My preferred method is digital. I'm not much of a collector anymore; my personality's a little too obsessive for that. In the past when I collected films and comic books, I'd often get too side tracked from focusing on filling in the gaps in my collection that it hurt my enjoyment of the stuff I bought. Since I'm not really into collecting VNs or just having a box + leaflet that I'd never otherwise look at but a couple of times laying around, digital is the most convenient choice - nearly immediately available and you don't have to leave the house or wait for shipping. As for dvd for usb, which is the cheaper delivery method production side anyway?

Finished Ruri's route in Demonbane, felt rather underwhelmed by the whole thing. For such a cool setting and premise, it felt like a waste. The soundtrack still rocks though. I'll be putting Demonbane on hold indefinitely to finally read Ayakashibito, which I hope will scratch the itch of what had me feeling like reading Demonbane in the first place.

Confession: My faptop went rip and I don't know what to do with myself. Seriously, it feels weird to use a desktop now for anything other than gaming, Probably will go shopping for a new one tomorrow.

Happy birthday, Dragoon. I think I remember you from the Fuwanovel irc channel.

I started watching season one of Fargo. The movie narrowly beats No Country For Old Men and The Big Lebowski as my favorite Coen brothers movie, so I'm happy to discover that (3 episodes in) the television show perfectly captures the feel and themes found in the movie. The humor, savage violence, and nihilistic bent is all there. Billy Bob Thorton's character is an absolute force of nature and it tickles me to no end to hear Martin Freeman (who is wonderful in the show) speak with an Wisconsin accent. I really shouldn't have waited as long as I did to watch this.

No, put that money you'd otherwise spend into a savings account to guard against unexpected expenses. Y'know... like an adult.

Welcome to the forums, I hope to see you around. Do you have a favorite VN?

Saw Antman tonight. Pretty decent humor, the ending action sequences were very fun and novel, but overall forgettable. The sentimental moments were extremely flat and Corey Stoll felt incredibly miscast and his character was a boring cliche.

I spent most of my free time yesterday working my way through Demonbane. I'm on chapter 7, which I -think- has split into Ruri's route by now, but I'm not 100% certain since this is my first playthrough. I'm really, really, really, really digging it in a few different ways The verbose style of writing and action sequences is a refreshing change of pace coming off of reading Hoshimemo, the setting is undeniably cool (there's no leeway here; it's impossible not to think it's cool), and (with a little tinge of recency bias) the soundtrack is among the best out of all the VNs I've read. It fits so well, with some of the tracks having a thematic 'otherness' that really nails the Lovecraftian aspects of the story. So with my interest being captured by Demonbane at the moment, I'm temporary stalling Hoshimemo for the time being. I normally don't like to start a new VN when I'm in the middle of reading another one, but reading the common route + 3 routes of Hoshimemo back-to-back got a little mind numbing and had me craving something that wasn't so slice of life or cute. My thoughts on Demonbane so far:

You're in luck in that the 3rd Raidy game is actually due out the 20th of this month, as long as JAST Time™ does not happen.

In my experience, control warrior really doesn't run out of steam against aggro; too often, you can't play your cards fast enough against them. I'd also question it being considered an immediate threat. Just dropping an 8/8 on turn 8 or 9 doesn't exactly cut it if your opponent has board presence, likely has a good chunk of damage in, and is likely able to just ignore it to push for damage. If you've already stabilized, which you need to do by about the time Nefarian would come out anyway, any big body would do the same job really. 9 drops in general, in my opinion, are 100% a detriment against aggro. Too dead. The caveat there being Alex. I actually like having her in my deck against face hunter as a heal. If you like having Nefarian in for a bgh target, I like Baron Geddon for that - better against aggro, plus people are often pretty hesitant to waste BGH on it and it can usually get in some work against other control decks surprisingly. In regards to helping replenish resources, just like Ysera, the cards you get are (usually) not immediately impactful and are just too inconsistent. Still, that's an interesting lens to look at Nefarian under and I've never seen it put that way. Regardless of that though, it's a fun card to run. I'd love to run him and sacrificial pact a Jarraxus. =3

I haven't played in a month, is x2 slam common in control warrior now or is it just a personal choice? Also, Nefarian seems like a poor fit. I don't really like 9 drops anyway (Alex comes and goes in my list), but Ysera (if you have it) would be a more consistent choice. Hell, I'd just slot in another Acolyte of Pain over it.

Happy birthday. I have you had a good one, Aaron.

I got in my blood the urge to read something chuuni last night, so I started up Demonbane and it seems I've accidently gotten myself hooked on it. I'm part way through chapter 2 so far. I'm really digging it, which is no surprise since given its kickass setting and premise. Really liking the game's soundtrack too. Will be reading some more tonight. I'll hopefully knock out Isuzu's route sometime tomorrow or so.

Obligatory you make too many threads about the same thing, this is such a goddamn outrage post.

My body wasn't ready =(

The simultaneous elation and utter disappointment I have with being lumped together with (Based) Okami is about as confusingly tangled as my sexuality.

Your last section has made me feel #oppressed. Teeku

Well, my first vn was G-senjou. Loved it, so I naturally moved onto Sharin no Kuni since it was another Akabei Soft game. It starts off a little slow, but it does pick up and I actually ended up liking it better overall than G-senjou. So I would recommend giving it another shot. Plus, as far as protagonists go, I'd say Kenichi fits what you're looking for pretty closely.

^^ Aye, it was pretty forgettable overall, but that's kinda true of the side routes themselves anyway. The only bad end I really even remember from that game was Mizuha's. As G-senjou was my first visual novel, I'm not even sure how it would stand up now. I really should reread it sometime.
