    Even so, you did an extremely piss-poor job of making it obvious to the point where you probably shouldn't have said anything at all

    We really should stop here. Us two derailed this topic pretty heavy ^^" Let's agree to disagree and depart our ways, alright?:sacchan:

    Wow, it's almost like saying, "We should start WW3" will always be taken the wrong way, and pretty much anyone should have known that!  Hell, that's almost basic logic!

    Try thinking before you say something like that next time.

    Ok, next time I'll use "we might be in need of a non-nuclear global crisis". You're right saying, that way it sounds not as bad. But I somehow think I need to explain myself again. That post of mine was not intended to be taken serious. My concerns are true but exaggerated to prove my points, please think of it as a twisted form of satire.

     

    While you might be right, your wording is kinda off. Critizising the thought process of some people voicing their opinions, as twisted as those opinions may be, can be seen as arrogant. No offence intended

    Uhhh...are you batshit insane?  Yeah, let's start a world war in the age of nuclear weapons!  I don't see a single thing that could go wrong!  "We should start a war because we've been peaceful for too long"

    If you think that's funny, you have one of the most twisted and demented senses of humor I've seen in a long time.  What is wrong with you?

    Ok, I knew some would get this the wrong way, I regret wording it that way and I'm sorry I offended you. Originally it was intended as a Hyperbole. My point was that too much of a time of rest & peace produces unrest. If we don't have any real kind of crisis, we ourselves create a crisis. But yeah, world war was waaaay to much of a hyperbole, again sorry about that ^^"

    I made the statement because I don't believe what Tyrosyn posted was constructive, and I am a strong believer that one must participate in good proper discussion to resolve issues.

    Ok, I know I'm throwing oil in a fire (sorry about that, really) but Tyrosyns post was, while not constructive, an accurate describtion of whats wrong with the current generation. Just throwing random words in the air and most of them fit this generation: entitlement, arrogance, angst, superiority complex, hatred. (yeah, I'm a cyynic today)

    Entitlement is the worst part of it. Young people in general seem to see privileges as their rights. And if its not 100% of what they wanted, it means war to them.  Taking everything the generations before us worked their souls off to get and all the current generation seems to say is: "That's all? We could have done a better job and faster while we're at it."

     

    America, and europe btw, were "peaceful" for far too long, at least in my opinion. If politics get stale all eyes turn either to the left or the right. And most get pulled in the direction that promises change. Even if that change might not be for the best. Brexit, Right Wing Movement in europe, Putin don't giving a f*** (ok, that's nothing new, how many centuries has he ruled anyway?) and religious extremists getting more and more active. If "peace" lasts too long we start to destroy ourselves.

    I'm not saying we need a new WW or something, but... Maybe we really do.

     

    Sorry, if it sounds like some kind of doomsday prophecy ^^" Most of it can be taken as some kind of twisted humor if you can't relate and if you can, sorry, I'm with you on this one.

    You reap what you sow.

    I'm with Tyrosyn on this one. To be honest I'm not particularly fond of how america dictates everything from media to popculture and lowering the bar on everything. I really look forward to see the (mostly selfproclaimed) cultural "center of the wohle universe!" shift after all angsty cultural influences leave america after crying and fleeing.

     

    If the country is seen as a restriction rather than a support, you are sure to look for some kind of extremism. Not really helping that modern american philosophy semms to be of a 'shoot first, ask question later' track with all social groups spouting extremists the moment they start to exist, if not earlier. Plus americans seem to love explosions and the people that scream, fart and barf the loudest and piss the widest.

     

    I bet Trump as president is a step to world peace even if most of you think of him as worse than hitler. I seem to recall that he wanted to focus on the inner workings of america, anyway.

    Sadly, the world of writing doesn't work like that. If you want your name on a book, you must either write it or contribute to it (like illustrators do for example).

    Yeah, I know. But I study literature & translation at university, should be easy enough to work in a field where I get my name in a book

    The sole fact their storylines are presented in a visual novel format DOES NOT make them visual novels. Period. The same goes for BlazBlue games. They are fighting games at core and thus, aren't vn's. They aren't vn hybrids, either.

    It's been a constant and neverending battle on VNDB, as to whether keep certain games in or drop them off the list and BlazBlue has been one of the few which had numerous take-downs and returns, just because uneducated masses keep on pestering the creators as to why "aren't they on the VNDB, despite being VN's",

    Funny trivia: What is now known as "visual novel format" is not really "visual novel format". If you don't believe me lokk NVL and ADV format at vndb, if they didn't delete it yet.

    I can only talk about vanilla BB and I don't know if it changed in later installments, but vanillas story mode fits as a hybrid. The story sequences are long and often enough and not interrupted by gameplay. If long sequences of uninterupted naration in a game do not count as VN hybrids, what else does?

  8. As a child I wanted to be a knight or a hero. Slaying dragons, saving damsels in distress and getting rewarded by kings. Now it is being the evil guy spreading terror wherever he goes, getting young maidens as sacrifice for turning my wrath somwhere else, being paid for wreaking havoc and destroying those foolish "champions of justice" in both body and mind.

    Nah, just kidding. Or am I???

     

    For a long time my dream was to write my own books, but I'm too lazy. Now it's just having my name in one. Either as "translated by" or in the page where authors bash their friends and those that helped creating their work. But that's not really a dream and more like a goal.

  9. I have to agree here, BlazBlues Story is pretty massive. Most modern RPGs don't have that much nowadays. I don't really know how much time you normally sink into fighting games, but in vanilla BlazBlue 2-3 hours of VN style narration per character seem pretty long to me.

     

    Most people don't think this is a VN, but funny thing is I've seen people claim Neptunia or Atelier Games are VNs :vinty:

    Damn people! Give the man a chance! He has not even taken office yet and you are already bashing him, good grief!

    "Why should we be fair to someone who has more money than us, more fun in his life and accomplished more with just existing than all of us combined did by doing stuff!" /sarcasm

     

    I think it's just modern "political correctness" that teaches us to hate anything that is not the popular opinion.  "Don't like what we do, well sucks, you racist child ra**er born from incest. WE are the tolerant ones and YOU are intolerable!"

     

    And it might not be obvious, but this is an opinion. If it offends you, just don't listen to it.

    Will Trump being the president affect the VN and or anime community at all?

    *Obligatory "he will make anime real" answer*

    Except for some memes, I don't think so. Him being in charge might as well be a plus for us since all people that scream "censor XYZ" seem to be against him

  12. I just finished Re:LieF and its True Route was kinda underwhelming. The first 3 were nice enough, although on the short side. But the true route just felt rushed. They start to deconstruct the protagonist only to revert him to his former state of mind after a short friendship speech...

    And best girl only got half an end :kosame: But at least she NTRs the protagonist somewhat xD

  13. America got lucky(?) with this one. He is what they brought upon themsleves. Vox populi & all that stuff.

    Still better than Hillary, imho. I don't like her at all. Something about her is just creeping me out. Obligatory inb4 "U afraid of womans, m8?!"

  14. Sup, Dood?

    The Name's Prinny, dood. To celebrate the day where netherworlds greatestest demon has made you puny humans surrender, I, the great Prinny, have offered the present of my presence to you, dood! (Ok, that was just a joke on american politics and how those guys behave, I really hope nobody is offended)

    Hobbies are reading, RPGs, Eroge and killing people (jk), dood.

    While I'm not really someone to be active in communities, I hope to atleast not have everyone explode on me, dood. That's my job, dood!

    Favorite VNs are: Fantasy stuff, Comedy and Hybrids

    Stuff I like: Books, Games, animals, writing, reading, cooking (and eating) and lame jokes, dood!

    Stuff I hate: Harem Protagonists, Deus Ex Machina Protagonists like that grisaia guy, forced comedy & forced seriousness, people and being thrown

     

    I dunno what else to say... Questions are accepted, dood
