  1. I had that same problem when getting windows 10. After messing around with fonts, I figured that different ones work with different games This one works in Fate/Hollow Ataraxia for example So I figure you have to mess around with fonts until one works
  2. I'm interested in why exactly you think he's a racist in particular. His death was mainly due to his belief that all Indians were a part of India, including Muslims, which makes me think of him as a rather... Not racist man Gandhi is known to have said (and pretty sure there are still the original quotes and letters and such) that it was natural for the white man to dominate the black people of Africa, a "race of lazy and unproductive people". He said quite a lot of pretty extreme things, although later in his life he tried to tidy it up a bit since it could "mud" his name quite a lot. He did believe in equality... as long as it was about the Indian people. HIS people. Here are a few quotes. I'll say that later, much later, in his life, he did rectify some of the things he said. But if you dig a bit about the not-so-perfect side of Gandhi, you'll find some pretty horrifying things, like how he let his wife die cuz "he personally did not belief in western medicine" or how he banished his Muslim son from his house and forbid anyone related to him from ever helping him or even acknowledging his existence. Huh, interesting stuff. I'll add Ghandi to my list of people I need to look up more about then
  3. I'm interested in why exactly you think he's a racist in particular. His death was mainly due to his belief that all Indians were a part of India, including Muslims, which makes me think of him as a rather... Not racist man I'd probably second this, he was a pretty hardcore military colonialist, but in the long run I can see why people would still like him
  4. Alright, here's number two! Note that these aren't put in any particular order. Enjoy 1-Understanding Nyanyans I made a conscious effort to stay from cats last time, but screw it:They are everywhere for a reason. If you're looking to understand cat behavior and language more, or just want cute kittie pics, this should satisfy you: 2-TFW you start out strong, but then things go downhill... ... Literally 3- Reasons why you shouldn't post your pictures on the internet. Sure, this particular position is kinda asking for it... But anyone with enough photoshop skillz can turn even the most innocent picture of you into a sex tape. Beware 4-Why Women Can't Drive in Saudi Arabia title 5-When you're trying to take down the boss your team be like I guess you can say this about any team in a co-op game. And that is that. I didn't type the paragraphs I thought I would, but "The best of speeches are the clear and short" (let's see if you can find the source of that. Note that it's translated from Arabic :P) . Lemme know whachya think buddeh, I'll be sure to... Consider your words
  5. A few days after Christmas and the site has been infested with either selfies and star wars spoilers, or posts complaining about selfies and star wars spoilers, so it's refreshing to see something new for a change. 1-Crazy Post of the day This one is a bit NSFW, so I'll just post the link. I can't really give you a description as I'm not sure what to say, but if you're bored out of your mind, this might slightly amuse you http://imgur.com/gallery/bUpNgCe 2-Animals Oddly enough, this doesn't concern cats. I know, a post on the internet about animals that doesn't have cats?! I couldn't believe my eyes either! But hey, it's heartwarming sometimes to see animals do their unexpected things, so here ya go 3-What Happens When You Lose to a Mud Monster in Monster Girl Quest My title is probably more appropriate than the original 4-Meme of za day Took quite a while finding this one. We all know memes on the internet are serious business. I chose this one because well... It's kinda funny no? 5-What iz Racism? A bit more serious, and it's also a repost, but the message here is as true as it is important. And that's that for today. Not much words and critique, but that's mainly because it's the end of the day and I can't really give each picture it's fair share of criticism and consideration. You can look forward to more of that in the future. Hope you had fun for now, any suggestions/complaints/praises are appreciated
  6. This sounds interesting, if you do go through with it be sure to catch the panel on camera, we'd like to see every bit of it
  7. I-I-I I remember posting here, where'd my post go Anyways, I know it's far too late by now, but if there's anyway I can get squeezed into the story I'd appreciate it (preferably not as a cute gal)
  8. Shit, actually never heard of the guy. Well, thanks for pointing that out, another reviewer to follow
  9. BEST VISUAL NOVEL EVAR MUST READ SCREW GRISAIA I mean uh, yeah it's pretty damn good, my favourite VN thus far. It's also has a pretty epic story unlike most VNs, so it's pretty unique in that regard I'll leave you with Ashadow's review, it was all the motivation I needed
  10. ten/10 would read again. Nosebleed can make for an interesting perspective in the story, I'm all for keeping him. And lucky Ten got a spotlight, when's my turn ;-; Not but seriously, was gud. It's rather alarming that we're like one chapter in and we already have what might be considered "filler episodes", but eh, they work when they're done well, and this was so. Keep it coming Kaguya
  11. Quickly going to go through most VN reviewers I know:- https://www.youtube.com/user/Ashadow700 More or less the "founding father" of VN video reviews. His Rewrite review is my personal favourite. https://www.youtube.com/user/mattroks101 Matt's is a pretty funny dude, although most of the VNs he reviews are Western, hence bad. He also does some other stuff on his channel. His KS review is definitely a must watch. https://www.youtube.com/user/Belmakor19 While simple, Bel's videos are plentiful. Between him and Ash, you should find a review for most of the popular VNs out there. His LB! review is probably my fav https://www.youtube.com/user/pokestory1/ This is Rockmandash's channel, who has also reviewed a couple of VNs the others haven't touched. I like his "VNs on the go!" video the most c: Those are the main four, here are some honorable mentions:- https://www.youtube.com/user/Aaox00/ While he has technically only reviewed 2 VNs, Aaox's reviews are superb. You definitely don't want to miss out on those two https://www.youtube.com/user/thespazgaming Spaz has also only reviewed two titles, but they're still worth watching, and he's still the only one who's reviewed SnU out of the rest... And those are all the ones I know. I may have missed a few, but I doubt so, it's not exactly a popular field As for editing, well I personally like Magix because of it's ease and simplicity, but you can use anything really. Although you're talking about "recording" yourself playing, which isn't the same as editing. You can look up any screen capturing software, although I'm personally not very familiar with them And finally, you should review whatever you want to review the most. Don't review a VN just because it's popular, but because it was so amazingly awesome/awful that you have to talk about it. Or at least that's what I think. I hope I answered your questions, and gl with your channel
  12. The feelings are appreciated, but the idea is a tad bit unrealistic. If you want to make it an organized thing to periodically give away VNs to people, then it's impossible to do anything without being unfair. So how would you choose who gets the VN? Let's say we solve that, what are you going to do with the VN itself? If you pick it, then the said person might not want that particular VN, and if the person picks it than he might only want a super expensive VN. And even if you had the money for that, would it be fair to spend on one person what could be enough to get 2 VNs? These are all just the basic concepts, the real trouble is in getting the game to the dude, be it digitally or overseas. Over all, many would simply dismiss the idea as not being worth the effort, and they'd probably be right. You could go on a more reasonable scale and do giveaways every now and the OriginalRun-style, that seems like the more realistic option.
  13. Was this thread created mainly to increase your post count so that you can reck us in Kaguya's fanfic? you little devil you
  14. This looks like it's going to be preeeetty long...
  15. First of all one of those is between a guy and a women, and second-MY EYES. Y U DO DIS
  16. Well, it IS opinion after all. If we starting to bring source i think a war might break out Yeah, that feels a bit too serious. I don't mind everyone BS-ing everywhere, this is the internet after all. Unless you want a real historical debate about a particular topic, but imo that deserves at least a separate topic, if not another forum entirely. For a try, let's talk about this: I heard this quote originated from Game of Thrones, but regardless of where it comes from there are few things that are as popular yet as false as this. "Winners" aren't always the ones writing about their glorious battles, sometimes their writings are lost and the writings of the losing side survive, and in some cases the victorious doesn't even know how to write at all. The examples are uncountable: The ancient Persians, which Fiddle mentioned earlier, are known primarily from the writings of their Greek/Roman enemies. The two sides never completely eradicated the other, they were going back and forth for as long as people can remember. But most of Persian literature has been lost. You also have the Vikings, who's stories are mainly written from the English and other people whom were conquered by them. The same can be said for the Mongols, Huns... Actually any people the Roman viewed as "barbaric". We only think of them as barbaric because that's what the Romans wrote, even tho Attila and many other tribes rekt Rome. So in conclusion, history is written by... The author of the book you're reading lel. You have the example of pretty much all Arab wars with their European counterparts, both sides recorded their own history and both are available today, and yet which account you get depends on where you are taught. Westerners get that history from their historians, while Muslims get their history from their own historians. And so, I repeat, history is written by whomever had the ability to write and the luck to have his work survive and actually read by people.
  17. Well, I sure don't know where to start.... All I can say is that your education seems extremely simplistic and one sided. I guess I can recommend you play games like Age of Empires, civilization, etc that portray many history in a humane and realistic manner from many different perspectives. Age of Empires 2 was actually what got me really into history, so I'd recommend that game in particular over other titles
  18. I don't even know what to say... The Chinese have created a game where your score increases by being an obidient citizen, and decreases when being a bad one. And high score citizens have benefits over those with lower scores, and... Just watch it and you'll get it...
  19. The Persians are interesting, although I don't think we know much about how they were as a people from the inside. I would be very interested in learning more about their religious and philosophical views and their roots. Actually, here's an interesting question: If you were to think of a current, shall we say inheritor of the Persian empire, who'd be your pick? In the sense that America and Western Europe consider themselves inheritor's of Roman/Greek civilization. I guess the main options would be Iran, Russia and Daesh (ISIS). It's hard to put the finger on Russia, since it's not really at war with the west atm, but it does seem to have the Persian Empire's size/power going for it. Iran is were Persia use to be, but other than that I can't really think of a single thing that connects them. Then you have Daesh, a tiny little new state that isn't just challenging the West, but the world. I think I'd go with Russia, as it seems the most fitting
  20. I'm very bored, so let's talk about something we don't actually know much about, but are nevertheless very good at discussing: History. Except me of course, I'm that special snowflake that knows everything about history On we go: 1-Hitler is actually a misunderstood hero of the world who's life should be celebrated 2-The ancient Greeks kinda sucked The Greeks are regarded as the fathers of many of today's modern concepts: Democracy, Science, Philosophy, etc. But most of these scientists/philosophers were oddities among their own people, treated as badly as criminals. The Greeks, as a people, were much less cool: Slavery was everywhere, their "equality" was only limited to free rich men, women were treated like shit. And only Athens was a barely decent democracy, other places, most popularly Sparta and Macedonia, were pretty big dictatorships. That's all I'm bothered to type for now, feel free to share your own unpopular opinions, or shit on mine.
  21. This looks like it's heading in the direction most could-have-been-great-works have gone... Unlimited hiatus works :c On the other hand, if ya can keep things at a good quality, we can wait a bit. And if you think there are too much characters, you can just make a list of the ones that are going to be in this story and leave out others for one to come or something. I do prefer honesty over ambiguity, and even from a reader's perspective, keeping track of a crap load of characters is hard. So do what you feel you must, and fear not our judgement O great Kaguya. We're a community of VN readers after all, our writing standards are pretty low
  22. I quite often go for months without reading anything at all, then read a long VN in like 2 weeks. I use to feel bad about it at first, but It's pretty much how I am with VNs. Even if the VN is "good", if I'm not in the right mood for it I simply won't read it. At some point I almost felt like I had quite, and then I discovered monster girl quest and my VN life was saved
  23. As far as I know, there is no such thing as a "Norway clock". You either have 1-12 am and pm, or you have 1-24. In other words, 2 pm (in 12-hour format) = 14 (in 24-hour format). Just add or subtract 12 to the number when you're converting. It may be that some countries only use one system over the other, hence why you call it by the name of that country.
  24. 2 PM is technically 3 pm in Saudi Arabia, if they're not doing the DST thing, otherwize it'd be 4 pm If that answers your question ofc
