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

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

If you told me this time last year when I signed up to this community that I would not only stick with it, but would consider it one of the highlights in my social life I would've laughed at you.
 
Yet here we are, one year and 608 posts later.
 
I'm not exaggerating when I say joining this community was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I know I'm not the most active person on the forums but that doesn't change the fact that this community has helped me become a more social person and actually given me a great reason to play visual novels. Hard to believe I started off as a bit of a lurker lurker and am now running one of the forums clubs.
 
Thank you guys so much for welcoming me and tolerating me.
 
Heres to another year!

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. 

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

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

This is just a suggestion, for those who read untranslated... basically, every three months, I suggest a list of five VNs (each from a different genre or type) that those who read untranslated pick from.  These will all be VNs I've read before (I don't believe in suggesting VNs I haven't played before) and my recommendations will be based - after the first quarter - on what the members of the club think might be interesting. 
 
The first rule is that any genre that is picked can't be picked twice in a row... mostly because chuunige, moege, and gameplay-VNs all have their passionate followers who will vote their candidates in every time, lol. 
 
The second rule is that it has to be a VN from my vndb list.  I can't recommend something if I haven't played it, and I'll at least consider anything from that list.
 
Feel free to make a case for your favorite VN (untranslated).  If it looks interesting, I'll endeavor to add it to my random VNs, play it, then consider it for the list of candidates. 
 
Nukige and rapegames are out of the question.  This is simply a matter of practicality... because those aren't really fit for the average reader.
 
Try to keep reading levels within reasonable limits...  I won't suggest Dies Irae or Bradyon Veda unless there is a request, for instance, because their difficulty levels are too forbidding for the average reader.
 
For the purposes of this thread, nakige and 'normal' moege/charage will be considered to be separate genres.  Fantasy and sci-fi will not be considered to be separate genres... mostly because about sixty-percent of all non-nukige VNs have some kind of fantasy element in them.
 
If all the members of the club who are reading/playing finish the chosen VN early, we can start a new round early.
 
Double-listings (multiple VNs, for those who can't bring themselves to play certain genres) will be considered, if the group is large enough.
 
 
 
 
 
If you have suggestions, please feel free to post them now... my current list of candidates are
 
Haruka ni Aogi, Uruwashi no (nakige)
 
Yurikago yori Tenshi Made (chuunige)
 
Tasogare no Sinsemilla (general VN/story-focused)
 
Harumade Kururu (mindfuck)
 
Ikusa Megami Zero (gameplay/rpg)
 
 
Edit: Aaah... incidentally, I won't be voting during any of these.  By putting these VNs up here I'm basically saying I'm perfectly happy replaying them or have played them recently enough to discuss them in detail, lol.  I'm interested to see which one gets chosen.

The plastic crack is strong with you. Those are some good looking models.

It's hard to pick one thing y'know? I prefer to think of your entire post history as a singular magnum opus.

Hello!
 
I hope everyone is doing fine, because I am! I finished my summer semester and got accepted into university! These last months have been really tiring, but worth
 
I would just like to say that I will be coming back to the facebook page! I see it has been a bit off lately but I'll focus on it!
 
So, if there are some important news to share, please tl;dr me? 
 
And good job on promoting the Steam page also (y) 
 
PS: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOMER <3

So, I completed Kosame's route in one go yesterday. My thoughts:
 

There's unlockable routes in it so you have to follow that to an extent. I suggest starting with Kotori as it serves as the best introduction to the setting and it's not bad. Lucia's route is better and you can start with that if you really want. Shizuru and Chihaya routes are the weak links so stuff those in the middle somewhere and close out the heroine routes with Akane. Then there are the final true routes. 

Hm, for some reason I can't cast my vote in the poll. Despite answering both questions, I get an error telling me I must answer each question.

Your mistake here was telling people your function as the community liaison.
Now people might get the funny idea to hold you to it and actually come to you with suggestions and complaints, thus resulting in work. 
 
Rookie error. 

I guess "vibrant" and "colorful" are good euphemisms for "more boobs".
