Hey!
Oh boy, I just finished Sakura no Uta (which was I don't even know how many hours of reading, 50++?), and what an great game, but that is not what this is about. I am looking for a new VN to read, I have had my sights on White Album 2 for quite some time, but thought it would be worth it to ask for recommendations here too. Oh by the way, for those of you that have read WA2, do you have to read White Album (1) to then go on to the second one or are you fine either way as long as you start with the Introductory Chapter of 2?
I am fairly open when it comes to suggestions, just try to lay low on the Slice-of-Life content and mega monologues of doom on philosophy (some is fine, but I feel like I am not into another ultra philosophy lesson like Sakura no Uta). If I were to say something I am looking for it would be something with a bit of drama or action and some interesting characters.
As you likely guessed I do not mind if it is only in Japanese.

Hey!
I recently bought White Album 2 and made sure that it was a download version. I got all the way to actually having the game on my computer. So far no worries, but then it just will not open. It directs me, when starting the .exe file, to downloading Soft-Denchi's latest version of "RunTimeProgram" and upon doing so, it still will not start, each time simply reminding me to download the same latest version I have downloaded and run like 12 times. At one point (when I tried running the game as admin I think) I got a message about logging in with my DMM account to get access to the game, but even doing so it still didn't work, and after downloading the game a second time not even that popped up.
TLDR; Bought DMM's download version of White album 2, got message about software missing, downloaded said software, still nothing.

Basically the same as @bakauchuujin . It goes something like this: "Your save data is outdated. Please delete your save data and run the program again.". Don't know the mechanical details though if that does not work.

Confession: I've had some pretty nasty two weeks because of family issues, but life decided that it wasn't clear enough with it's stance on my humble person, so today my cat died.
My girlfriend make an observation that this seems like a good day to get drunk together and I honestly don't see any holes in that logic. I'm drinking to you guys then!
乾杯！
Sorry to hear that, sometimes life really has it in for you it feels like, hope you are doing better now.

I'd say the Kururururugi thing is simply cuz he IS that good. Karen is super important to the Black Knights cuz she's a great pilot, and Kururugi is even better, so any fight he joins becomes very problematic. He's like the ace of a sports team, easily changing the dynamics of any match.
In regards to the "peace zone":
You need to look at it from a narrative point of view, I believe. It's not "oops, accidentally used my Geass", but rather a scene meant to show us how Lelouch is way past the stopping point, and that the Geass has become as much a tool as a curse, and a part of him. There will be no peace for Lelouch, who is cursed for life after accepting the supernatural power.
Have you watched HxH 2011? It's pretty much along the lines of FMA: B in terms of style.
Hmm interesting did not see it that way, well they were only a couple of thoughts I had during the show. Thanks for the recommendation too!
-
So I binge watched all of Code Geass and... wow. Lelouch was such a good protagonist and the story was just amazing. In a sense Lelouch's genius kind of gave off vibes of Maou from G-Senjou and Sherlock and I just loved it! Lloyd is also such a good side character, that personality was just great together with the seriousness of some of the battles. I have some critique however;
SpoilerMost of the story (especially in season one) felt like a thrown together battle between invincible Kurururururugi and invincible Lelouch. At least to me it felt like as soon as Kururugi came to the battle it was basically over and that he would always wizard up some attack to completely turn the tables, making some of the battles where you knew Kururugi was at the scene feel like they were already decided.
,
The whole scene with Euphemia's "peace zone" just felt really weird (is cliché the right word here?) and the whole thing that Lelouch accidently used his Geass was just, I don't know, a bit like the writers just wanted to suddenly turn the tables but didn't know how to do it.also
The emperor really felt like a push over compared to other characters (I.E. Kururugi) and it felt like they could have made the "final fight" of the empire out to be more.
Overall I am very happy I looked at the series and I wished that more grandiose shows like it existed (I have already watched Fullmetal Alchemist
). Personally I find it really hard to just watch high school and slice-of-life animes. And as they appear to dominate the market, it is fairly difficult to find something to my tastes (Steins Gate is out but I have yet to read the VN).
I wonder what they can make out of season 3. I must agree with a lot of people that I am sceptical to the show actually not being just a cash-grab from Sunrise.
SpoilerIt would kind of be interesting however if they could turn Lelouch into an antagonist and do a full 180, making him instead try to end the world.

I kind of regret not being able to help you out here, with you being so generous as to give away game codes on the other thread, but ah well. I guess I can throw some directions to some decent artist that can do stuff for commission ($25, I think?), but not sure if that is what you are looking for.
Kind of wish I had learned to paint, apparently it is supposed to be pretty fun. Guess I will leave that in the to do list for now.

Ran into another issue; I couldn't get Yomichan to translate any text. No matter what activation keyboard key I used, Yomichan would not translate any Jap text I hovered on top off.
FYI there are settings in Yomichan which allow you to make the translation appear by just hovering over it, I think the default key is shift (?).
Also Yomichan is sometimes bad at detecting the word hovered over, making no translation appear, but if you stick to it long enough I have found that just trying to detect it over and over again works (or looking at a word on a website to activate (?) it).
Yeah I wouldn't call it ideal, especially if you have no interest in learning JP grammar or vocab, but it works, especially if you on the other hand know your grammar fairly ok and have some decent vocab, then you can start to see the process speeding up (due to you having to look at the translation less and less). If all you need it for is to look up some one-off word it is particularly good, I've found.
I don't know about Translation Aggregator, but if you have found it good, it might be the best option out there for those who are just looking to enjoy a VN without perhaps doing the whole learning JP thing. Like you said Chiitrans is outdated (and most likely gone forever, since there doesn't seem to be any signs of it being updated) and VNR a mess. -

alternative to Chiitrans that uses google translate to translate on the fly from ITHVNR ?
As far as I am aware the options are either straight up, by hand, pasting the material into Google Translate or using Visual Novel Reader, neither of which are really something I can wholeheartedly recommend (since, of course, sentences get read the wrong way). If I were to recommend something it would be using Firefox, clipboard inserter and (thanks to points highlighted by @tymmur about bad network security on outdated browsers) a up to date extension to translate the pasted material, like Yomichan, which, doesn't translate whole sentences, but can translate individual words, grammar (having general knowledge of this is of course still recommended) and turn of phrases. (I do not know if you are learning Japanese, if you aren't this might be a bit of a big jump
)

So I finished Rin's route in Sakura no Uta. It certainly was more interesting, in my opinion, than Toritani's (explaining some of the backstory of the main characters) however, perhaps I didn't like Rin's character very much and that is why, but still I felt like the Rin's character's story was not capturing me (the main plot felt, well, somewhat shallow). Though, frankly, the game has already a pretty high bar set with some truly interesting characters like Naoya (whaaaat? An interesting protagonist can such a thing exist?) and Kei.
It will be interesting to see where the story goes next now that some of the main plot points have been explained.

"*record scratch* *freeze frame*
Yup, that's me. You're probably wondering how I ended up in this situation."This game, though. Man, this game. Fire, poison, water, some mist and even ice. Me and a friend vs 2 cooks, a waitress, 2 drunk patrons, a dwarven bard, a mysterious traveler and a tinkerer. Not sure how we got here. Things just kept escalating.
Hoh.. yeah this brings me back, this happened a lot during my playthrough of Divinity too, almost half the time spent in a sitting could be spent just stuck on a single boss or an area with a screen that looked like an absolute mess (partly to blame me using MVP summons). When I got towards the end of the game I was pretty much so scared of seeing the final boss and having to spend hours on that final boss to beat it that I didn't play and yeah I still haven't beaten it, kind of sad but ended up dropping the game :/.

@Zander, I hope you don't mind me hijacking the thread, as you're done with your part?
I actually also still have keys for Karakara, Fault milestone one, Highway Blossoms and Huniepop. If anyone wants any of those please write here or PM me. Thank you for your attention.
I would like Fault milestone one then if that would be ok.

If I understand the message correctly your game configurations are outdated. In the message they ask you to clear you save data and then run the game again, no clue if this works. The part below informs you that you can with CTRL+C copy the message (and then perhaps look for help online).
As for solving the problem I am in the same boat as you but perhaps someone else can help you if you clearing your save data doesn't help.

But now that I have something concrete to center my thoughts on, I feel like I can finally throw in the towel for good and just leave the MMO scene entirely. I'm not sure how well I'll hold up in the future, but I'm gonna bookmark those two videos I linked as a reminder of why I quit playing MMOs in the first place. And frankly, now that I know how Skinner Boxing works, I'm a little pissed off that I allowed myself to be manipulated like this. That said, I'm glad I caught on before my spending habit became more severe. Because of how much time I spend playing this game, I've developed bad spending habits such as extending my membership period for beneficial auras, buying banks slots, buying pets, buying gear/item presets, and even maintaining membership for another account so I can play two different game modes (standard and ironman). I've spent a little over $270 since I started playing in December, and I'm concerned that it might get worse if I continue to play this game as I have been.
Good luck, hope you manage to pull through, I am sometimes amazed to what lengths these games will try to make you spend both precious money and time on game mechanics and basic gameplay.

>The korean war is over.
SpoilerI doubt that, but I will leave it at that.
I would like to hope for a better future for the people of NK and SK though, don't really know how that would happen at present but one can only hope, right?

I would like to second what Dergonu posted. I don't personally have a thorough knowledge about translating but learning Japanese I could atleast perhaps give you a tip or two of my own experience so far (when did I get a whole two years into this thing?). I generally think it is a good way to start fairly early with the kanji and getting over the daunting task of even learning what the individual kanji mean (Remembering The Kanji, by Heisig, is an option I would recommend which goes through the aforementioned common use kanji that Dergonu mentioned). This may be somewhat controversial but I found that learning the individual kanji really helped getting a grasp of the general meaning of the words outside of it just looking like scribbles (some seem to point out that most compound words (words with more than one kanji) in JP don't make any sense when considering the individual kanji but I would not really agree with this since I, after having gone through RTK twice, generally can understand the meaning of compound two kanji words even without getting what the full translation is into English). It may also only be for smaller things when you are translating a full VN, but sometimes the individual kanji too carry a lot of meaning in an end of itself, for example in place or personal names or combined kanji words (with 4 or more kanji).
In my experience with grammar I would recommend, of course, getting a bit of a ground too in this by reading grammar guides (there exist loads on the Internet, and many that are free), like Tae Kim's grammar guide and Jay Rubin's "Making Sense of Japanese: What the Textbooks Don't Tell You" (this one is not free). Aside from this I would also recommend reading, reading and reading, perhaps it is just me but generally grammar and learning words don't help me much if I don't actively see and use them. I would also recommend coming back to these grammar guides if something worries you or makes you question yourself in writing or reading even if it is a considerable time after having read about it (like が and は).
A third thing I would perhaps like to add is the use of some kind of memory tool, there exist loads, but generally people tend to use in my experience Memrise or Anki (Anki being the one I use). These can both work as a learning tool and a remembering tool (for the aforementioned RTK for example), there existing, so called, decks with words that you can learn and options to make you able to create your own deck with words that you seem to forget or want to learn (perhaps taken from literature or online in works that you have read). This way you never truly get out of sync with the material that you see, and when you see it outside of the memory tools it reminds you of the word that you have learned or are learning, thereby reminding you of its meaning.
Lastly good luck, it may seem daunting but always remember that what you are doing is for something fun down the line!
can someone translate this?
