Just read whatever you wanna read. If you aren't enjoying it, or you aren't having fun, there is no need to force yourself to finish something just to finish it. That will lead to you hating the medium, and becoming a bitter, angry person when dealing with VNs. If for you, you cannot enjoy a VN after finishing a route because you feel like you're betraying them, so be it. Move on to the next one. Maybe after a few months, youll be able to go back and finish the original one.
There~ there~~ Batty-san. I'll lend you my shoulder anytime as well (no homo).
I agree btw. Read whatever you want, you read for fun. So silly to add senseless rules to that. Read the way you find it enjoyable.

That face and voice at the end. Just precious. Sadly the stupidity of these people is not new or even interesting anymore. It's commonplace. That I consider a pretty sad development.

Sharin is pretty nice. But I think I prefer Eustia's kind of linear story. Straight forward with just 1 h-scene pushed on you.
With more branches I like tokyo babel, that branches off quite early in the story.

Don't drink much tea now. But drank a lot last winter.
I brewed from loose leaves I bought at the local tea and coffee seller.
Usually make a 1.5 liter and put it in a termos can. Then I drink it throughout the day. It's genius. Like having a bottle of coke to drink all day. Just that it actually tastes better.
I recommend just buying many different varieties and drinking them. Usually green tea in stores are added with some kind of flavor. Lemon, fruits or something. They can be pretty good.
The green tea without blends and Matcha powder tends to cost somewhat more if you want it to taste good. I recommend trying them out as well, they can be really good.
Recommend trying out Rooibos as well. It's a different kind of plant than "normal" tea comes from. It's a bit sweeter and has no caffeine, also low in low tannin if you are worried about that.
Oolong is really nice as well.
All tea is nice honestly. People have to drink more tea.
Well I suppose Pu-erh tea is the only one I haven't really liked. Bought it once and it smells like rotten fish. Tastes pretty good though. Smell aside haha.

If you don't mind my rebuttal I'm not sure I agree. I think if the background image was filled with characters it would look messier and be a little harder to get around, particularly as most of the thumbnails would also feature characters. I suppose if they were somewhat translucent that could work? Just my two pennies though, it could look awesome with background images.
Certainly it would look messy if there was too many characters. Having something like 1-3 on each left and right side of the middle of the page. Depending on the size of them wouldn't destroy the balance of the page I imagine.

Considering that vn has only traps, it is yaoi yeah. Although I suppose it's slightly different I guess because they all look like girls, and wear girl clothes.
Is that not yaoi? I consider dude on dude yaoi. Might be wrong lol. \_(o_o)_/
-
This looks a lot better than before.
The header image might be on the slightly big side. Although having a big nicely drawn picture is nice.
You could have a highly detailed background image with vn/anime characters. Instead of having it white I think? Old theme currently has yellow as background. Having a nice background justifies having smaller header imo.

Baldr sky is getting a TL by sekai... I did not see that coming.

Nice @Riku I tried looking for something that could show one line at a time in TA but I couldn't find anything. Really nice. Going to be fun trying this out.
I can't get the 3.0 version to work, but the 2.4.1 version works. So doesn't really matter though. The 3.0 functions aren't really needed for me.
-

Ah, yes. I get the same issue with the top one. It's no doubt due to the fonts I think as well.
I've only used the software on fonts like the one on the bottom. So I've never actually experienced this problem. Good to know.

I was initially going to include this as well, but sadly my experience with it has mostly been negative as it constantly gets the text wrong. I wonder if it's my settings or something.
Never thought about converting .txt files to html and read them in-browser, I'm gonna give it a try when I can.
Perhaps you've had bad luck with it. Although you have to change a few settings with it. Without that it really doesn't work that well. Like Changing the "OCR langauge" to Japanesse, having the "text direction" to what you are reading, either vertical or horizontal.
-
Nice tools.
Additionally another OCR software Capture2Text Is nice as well. I find myself using kanjitomo mostly, and Capture2Text when kanjitomo fails. kanjitomo is much faster and just hover over, Capture2Text is manual but better at recognizing the text.
I mainly read from e-book/txt format. So I convert the books to html files so I can read them in the browser. I like this personally because then I can use rikisama. Which supports Epwing dictionaries. I use 2 methods convert the files to html.
If it's txt format (Aozora, 青空文庫) . I use JNovel FormatterIf it's in Ebook format epub/aw3 etc I use convert function included in the software Calibre. Convert it from the native format to Zip (zipped up html files). You can change the formatting of the html pages by editing the calibre Css files in the folder. Change font, size etc. I do that because I find the formatting rather odd.
Incidentally, drm files are like tsundere waifus. You gotto handle them with care first in another way.

Looking at some gameplay vids from the trial. From the looks of it they reverted to the older art style of BS and BF. I prefer it like this as well. You also got overheating for weapons and such. So it avoids the mistakes of BZ.
I imagine gameplay wise it will be solid. If they build upon what both BF and BSD systems as they were great. Although it was together with the story that made it great imo.
In the end I want Baldr Hard SF. Not Baldr Moe
-
It looks seriously Moe.
Nuff said.
Gameplay side looks alright, similar to Baldr sky Zero. Which had horrible balance, it was so bad you could kill the last boss in 6 seconds due to infinitive combos and combo bonus damage "traits"...
That being said BSZ was fun enough. Although expecting even less from baldr heart.

There are wiki pages from rpg vns around. So you can search for wiki pages in jp for the vn you are reading. Can easily check the battle combat words etc from there.
Generally speaking vn-rpgs tend to use the same vocab or varations of it, so for example looking the vocab from ikusa megami wiki for example prbly will help a lot.

No more porn, no more visual novels, no more anime, probably no more manga, no more dank memes, no more fuwa.
Basically, the world would end.
Pretty much might as well kill myself then.
Or develop a new sense for aesthetics and start collecting physical porn magazines. Develop a theater with people wearing anime cosplay. Draw my own manga. And create a underground weeb community where to show off our weebness and memes.

The error you get says: 正常にインストールされていません。 ゲームデイスクより再インストールを行って下さい。
The installation isn't done correctly, please insert the game disc and reinstall.
I recommend you do what @Kelebek1 said.

EMS has always been expensive for me. So I've only used SAL anyway. So this doesn't really change much for me honestly.

i´d say go for resonance (you´re going to take on chusingura anyway soon :P).
overall halo lady is quite the cool read, but i found its supposed to be grand finale to be pretty underwhelming/lacking impact for my taste, btw not nearly as satisfying as i could´ve possibly wished for in terms of " o anger, turn to heat, dry up my brains! This mad thirst for vengeance must be quenched... "Hallo lady!'s last end was rather lacking in impact imo as well. The rest of the game is great. So highly recommend it as well. But it's written by Hino, so you might want to read something easier. So I'd say go for resonance.

I guess the best method would be buying them used on amazon and use a shipping company to send it to you. That way you can get around the "shipping only in Japan".

Gave me a good laugh.

Why do lots of VNs still run at such low resolutions?
in Visual Novel Talk
Posted
Eh? I honestly can't see hardly any difference if any at all. Between putting a older vn in fullscreen mode and between using a VM to rescale the window. I imagine they use the same upscaling/zoom. For newer vn's with actual good support for upscaling the difference is huge ofc.
