  1. So I recorded myself singing some Portuguese Children's songs... Never again.

      Spoilers: You won't understand anything and it's still bad. Feel free to share it if you want.

      I actually kinda liked it! At one point it sounded like you were talking in Russian,even.

    She just looked a little faint. No reason to suspect she might be growing ill.

      Yuzu thinks Yuzu is written perfectly Yuzuly.

      Yeah, that'd probably piss me off, too.

      It's not just with her, but with all characters. She never uses pronouns ever. Other people don't seem to mind, but it really bothers the hell out of me for whatever reason.

    4. Mr Poltroon

      Mr Poltroon

      I wasn't really complaining per say. It's just that I have a very bad habit of reading the actual words, which are quite often at odds with what meaning they take upon. A little close to fainting is in no way a mere out of it, but that is what it effectively means...

      Other than typos I really have no issues with the translation.

  3. PM'ing people all day, every day.

      Were you already a GM at this point? Or did you just like add even MORE work for yourself xD.

      Btw, "TL;DR I type way too much, you probably won't ever find me being serious, and how dare you skip ahead to the TL;DR."

      Now that you're a GM, will you finally be... serious..? :3

    3. Mr Poltroon

      Mr Poltroon

      I was not yet a GM at the time I started with the PM's.

      Ha! You wish.

      I knew that from the start, of course, I'm not the one with any choice in the matter.

      New goal for Venicey-Tiag: to become one who has choice in the matter. And when you write this goal down, you should be smirking, and when you say this goal out loud you should say it in Darth Vader's voice :3

      Indeed. I'm sure self confidence and arrogance will lead me far. A condescending nature certainly has given me many points on the internet.

      its a shame it isn't fully translated.

      To clarify, this is from Koiken Otome, which is fully translated.
      In case you didn't mispost and where actually commenting here.

      I mispotted it and thought it was from fortune Arterial. Sorry.

  6. In a particularly un-Tiaguesque mood.

      I feel compelled to point something out. If this fellow's name is Tiago than it would be an un-Tiagoesque mood he is in. The fact that he's in an un-Tiaguesque mood is conclusive evidence (using Rooke's dodgy logic) that Tiag is the name of this member, not Tiago :3

    3. Tay

      Tay

      Did Rooke just drop the mic and walk off-stage?

      I think he did.

    4. Mr Poltroon

      Mr Poltroon

      You'll have to excuse me for thinking that Tiaguesque sounds better. There's no reason to bully me over it.

      Of course. For the sake of comedy everything is allowed! ...is what I was told the other day. I don't see any good reason to not use this in my defence.

      Though I do somewhat wonder as to the veracity of that quote...

      PS: I know. My bells were all tingling but I couldn't find any message the first time either.

  9. By His royal decree you are to pay me an amount equal or superior to 666€ or whatever inferior equivalent currency your forsaken island uses.

    You can find His exact words quoted below:

    • Tiagofvarela
      By the way, I've been wondering, when you pay me for the damages that will ensue from all the wasted E-Mail space that's a consequence of all these notifications I'm getting; will it be from your personal money or Fuwa's funds?
       
    • Tay
      Rooke kindly volunteered to pay those damages.
       
    • Tiagofvarela
      I'll go bug him for it then.

      • Tiagofvarela Today 4:49 PM
        Rooke appears to be somewhat confused as for paying my E-Mail damages.
      • Tay Today 4:49 PM
        Just keep sending him a receipt
      • Tiagofvarela Today 4:49 PM
        Will do.
      • Tay Today 4:49 PM
        feel free to add interest

      But that’s the money I’m setting aside to upgrade my computer so I can finally immerse myself in the Witcher 3 for months on end without eating or sleeping. It’s gonna take a bit of an upgrade… and I should really remove the 5 ¼ floppy drive, people keep telling me nobody uses them anymore :(

      You should go see this person called ‘SolidBatman’ instead. Rumour has it he’s so overflowing with cash, he’s giving out nuggets of pure gold to random hobos. Also, tell Tay he’s a funny, funny man and terrible, terrible things happen to such people :P

    I like it when games have some amount of self-awareness.

    1. Fred the Barber

      Fred the Barber

      Surprised to see you playing this one. I assumed it wouldn't be your cup of tea, given what I've heard about it. But... I've been thinking about playing it too, so, now I'm curious to hear your thoughts.

    2. havoc

      havoc

      Well, i wasn';t expecting to see you playing this one.

      How is it so far?

    3. Mr Poltroon

      Mr Poltroon

      To whomever it may concern,

      I elaborate on my thoughts on this game on the following thread (on x3):

       

  11. Prepare thyself, Tiago's Golden Age is yet to come.

      No, no, I assure you. I meant Tiago's.

  12. Have a nice Christmas. It's the only time most of us humans focus on the good things and not the bad.

    1. 傍観者

      傍観者

      You too. And that's a very true statement. But aren't any holidays sort of like this as well?

    2. Mr Poltroon

      Mr Poltroon

      Holidays are to have fun, but that's not necessarily the case for Christmas, where charity and being nice still, somehow, top the list.

    3. 傍観者

      傍観者

      I guess that's how it's supposed be around the world. Too bad it's not the case for Italy. Everyone keeps everything to themselves here, no matter what time of year or what holiday it is. Can't really blame them, since most people have little to no money to spend on things other than bills and food.

  13. HqL1rHg.png?1

    This is a sentiment I truly believe in, and one Japanese VNs don't support much.
    You can't expect people to understand feelings and concerns you don't voice. You can go shove your "We don't need words. I'm the person who knows you best"s down the toilet.

    1. havoc

      havoc

      so very very true.

    2. Mr Poltroon

      Mr Poltroon

      Or the "You are not worthy/the right person for her; how could you not telepathically realise she doesn't like it when you wear that cyan shirt?!"s.

    3. Suzu Fanatic

      Suzu Fanatic

      mmm, partly agree, partly disagree. There "is" the very real concept of empathy. "No two people are alike", true, but it doesn't take a mind-reader to sometimes understand the thoughts and feelings of another.

      Though without context for that specific scene, I can't really speak for or against it. But I will say that the MC should consider "putting himself in her shoes" - how would "he" feel if the situation was reversed?.

       

      All that being said, sometimes there really is no understanding anothers feelings and thoughts - esp. if they come from completely different backgrounds and have very little common ground.

  14. KLV5PKZ.png?1

    Here's your daily reminder that I absolutely hate the construction "He is the type to".
    Jeez, why must you classify everyone into types? Sometimes I do, sometime I don't. If you want to express this sentiment you say the hyperbolic "He always replies to his messages quickly" or the average "He usually replies to his messages quickly".

    1. Tay

      Tay

      Mr. Poltroon's the type to hate labels.

      Also, hey! Missed talking to you. We should hang out.

    2. Mr Poltroon

      Mr Poltroon

      Damn, how does this guy know who I am? What gave it away? The cravat? It was the bloody cravat, wasn't it? Blast it all.

    1. Dergonu

      Dergonu

      I have to ask, is one of the characters called "Hum", or...? What is the deal with the "hum" there? Is it someone saying ふむ? (If so, dear lord, that translation.)

      Also, I want one of those radars!!! :pyaa:

    2. Mr Poltroon

      Mr Poltroon

      That "Hum..." means "Hmm...". Which means it could have been a typo or just a weird spelling. I accidentally use "hum" rather often, too, because that's how it is in my native tongue.

    3. Dergonu

      Dergonu

      Aha, I see. That does make more sense than it being a weird translation of ふむ :sacchan:

  17. Wow, I advanced three text lines consecutively by executing an unintended, but dexterous, movement.

    I picked up my keyboard, accidentally clicking 'enter', whilst moving my mouse, and I accidentally hit said mouse in the keyboard, clicking the left mouse button in the process, and by hitting the keyboard my finger slipped, scrolling down the mouse wheel as well.

    Therefore, I clicked 'enter', 'left mouse button' and scrolled down in quick succession, advancing three lines.
    You've got nothing on these skillz.

      That's got nothing on my "accidentally hold the Ctrl button for several seconds and fast-forward past half a scene" technique.

    3. Mr Poltroon

      Mr Poltroon

      Pfffft.

      Look at me trying to use Ctrl+Prt Screen to screenshot a scene and skipping the next three altogether.

  18. I've now returned from my trip abroad, which has cleared my head and thoroughly enlightened me.
    This new enlightenment then allowed me to change my perspective on things.

  19. 3jOJ38F.png?1Wow, this image truly represents what I believe more protagonists should be like.
    Instead of narrating stuff they don't know the first thing about as if they were professionals, they make sure to note that their eyes are those of an amateur.

    I have to admit that Chrono Clock probably has the translation that has been the most to my enjoyment out of anything I've read.

    I mean, 70% of it is probably the VN being good, but maybe the TL really is responsible for all these lines rendering me breathless... from laughing too much.

    1. Mr Poltroon

      Mr Poltroon

      Yeah, I'll just keep quoting the VN in this comment chain.

      "And so, my wallet had to take one for the team."

      I'd share a bit more of this exchange, but I'd rather play safe.

  21. I cannot believe I had let my spirit stoop so low... Had I forgotten about the eloquence of words? Well, no more, for I am back in the nonsensically wordy manner of my earlier posts on this forum! All credit goes to Rintaro Okabe, who expertly reminded me of the reason why I joined forums in the first place. Let the mere fools taste my overly complicated and most of the time grammatically incorrect sentences!

  22. Apparently people think you're female just by having a female in your avatar.

    1. Yukiru

      So you want others to think you're a female, that's good to know.

    2. Mr Poltroon

      Mr Poltroon

      Not exactly, I was more interested in seeing how many people are that prejudiced, but I quickly decided it's a worthless endeavour given my time on the forums.

  23. dSShalT.png?1

    I was wondering what it could have possibly said.

    1. Fred the Barber

      Fred the Barber

      Little bit redundant and repetitive.

    2. Mr Poltroon

      Mr Poltroon

      Damn, I can't read through the text. I can't tell if that's a joke or not.

      Because let me tell you, the original definitely is. And it's bloody hilarious.

  24. Fuwanovel's big change of the quarter. Here's hoping this is enough chaos and rioting to satisfy Tay's inner desires and actually get him to work on things.
