    How do you deal with people being better than you?

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I been very competitive. Played in a small'ish game with a clan in a team against another clans. Won and came high in the majority of tournaments I played in.

     

    I realized something pretty simple from watching other players. How fast you improve and good you can get depends on Innate talent, effort and effective practice. When you find a player that's better than you. Analyze him and try to find what he does and how. Practice his skills. Then try to crush him.

     

    If that doesn't work. Look at the better guy as those who are worse than you. You are beyond them. Here the skilled guy, is beyond you. So, you ignore them as well.

    Discussion: Should Clephas' VN of the Month remain?

    in Visual Novel Talk

    Posted

    I'd like you to continue. Your reviews don't spoil and are clear to the point what the vn's are about. Who might enjoy them, what the good about the vn is, and the bad stuff. Always nice to read them.

     

    I think you know how to pace yourself. Steer away more from lower quality stuff when you don't feel like it. Write mini reviews. Drop mediocre vn's midway. etc.

    I honestly don't want you to go whacking yourself on the head by reading stuff you hate. So in the end, don't over do it. 

    Do animals dream when they sleep?

    They prbly fall asleep while reading. Then dream about reading a book. Multiple times waking up holding a book, quickly falling asleep again and dreaming about reading again. Ending up thinking the dreaming is actually being awake. After 2-3 hours of napping. You wake up. Realize the book you've been reading has been on the same page all the time. And that the story you've "read" makes no sense at all. The pages you've been reading wasn't actually reading. But dreaming looking at pages with symbols on them. Dreaming I am reading the continuation of the book, thus imaging what will happen next. Asleep brain being what it is. The dream makes no sense at all.

    Being an animal is pretty troublesome....

    How to translate and play untranslated Visual Novel on Emulators [PSP/PSX/PS2/DS/GameCube/Wii]

    in Visual Novel Talk

    Posted

    Played around some with the different methods. VNR hooking didn't work for me. But hex did.

    I think Dullian is correct. It doesn't matter if you use PPSPP for the hex. I got hex working on the ppspp as well. Very nice imo.

    With hex and HAT it's a very easy method to use when you've got it working. It remembered the right hex for me and auto clipboard the text. It becomes like ITH then. Pretty sweet.

    Only tried it with Dangaronpa 2 so far btw.

     

    @Styler00Dollar did you activate MEM_MAPPED in settings of cheat engine? Also HAT seems for some reason to open a cmd window when starting up the cheat engine. It needs to be open for it to work HAT. So don't go closing that folks, lol.

    I honestly see this as a very cool tool. If you want to read psp vn's/games. You can do that now. At least in the majority of the cases I imagine.

     

    Edit: Although In hindsight.. I am not aware of many good console vn's that can be emulated; and are not on pc..

    VNs with and without sexual content disscusion

    in Visual Novel Talk

    If there i an all age and a h-version and without major loss with the all ages. I still read the vn's with h-content, as I dislike removing stuff from the vn.. A few times I read the major parts of them due to story context or hilariousness of the scenes. At times I look forwards to the scenes, but I the end. I always end up skipping them. As they are boring as hell.

    So in the end I prefer h-content vn's, but skip the h-content. I prefer the uncut version in the end.

     

    As for caring about there being h-stuff... I don't really...  Give a shit; lol. Read too many vn's. Praise the ctrl.

     

    @scorp, you´re free to agree with all i´ve said before^^, as its (mostly) the same you´ve stated, but simply assuming every 18+ version is superior to its all ages pendant aka the full experience is also ..abit..missleading, because there´re those like chrono clock with them as independent xtra content (for economical reasons)- non really related to anything, as well as on the other hand those like amentes amentes where a huge amount of content been added to compensate for other stuff lost.
    And regarding an increase of personal attachment towards  the cast through given h-scenes, yeah that is possible, but from my point of view only happens if the story is well written and executed, more likely when everything is more serious and stuff, because generally i wont get attached to anyone whilst reading brainless moege etc, regardless who fucks with whom or not.

    biggest complaint i´m having with is the point, many people nowadays seem to believe only h-scenes are responsible for an adult rating & if cut out in one way or another turn EVERY novel/game automatically into an all ages version, which is completely bullshit no matter how you look at it. think someone stated the same on the muvluv threat, saying that adult storys are written for adults, having h scenes or not.

     

    I think Muv luv and loads of vn's are indeed mature stories. They can easily affected younger audiences, thus prbly shouldn't read them. That's a sweeping generalization though. I think it depends a lot on the person how they react to serious stuff. Not everyone should read stuff about torture, rape, killing, massacre, dying, fear, constant fear of dying etc.

     

    Saying it's all ages is so wrong in that sense. It just means it doesn't have porn anymore. Acceptable in the west = all ages.

    It's like the consoles versions in japan. Gotto remove the h-stuff. Then it's A-okay. But then it's 18+ or 17+ or something.

    Summed up:

    *chomp*

    people who use machine translation to read novels

    MT's are but a crutch. It's like having an intelligent monkey on a typewriter giving you his translations to you. You try to make sense out of his gibberish english. This does actually work to some degree. But you will never be smarter than the monkey.

    Damn the monkey, spend a few months practising jp, kick the monkey out of the door and do the entire process yourself. The first months are the biggest hassle, after that it's a better experience than using a MT.

    Danganronpa VR Trial Demo

    Sony has given out a Technical Demo footage of Danganronpa in VR. It looks pretty sweet.

    I'd imagine it might be uncomfortable to read with VR. I've had some issues with headaches with the use of the early version of Oculus.

    Interesting development none the less.
