RAGNAROS THE FIRELORD 
I was pretty happy I got that, he was definitely the coolest legendary in the set, if not the best in terms of performance. I'll probably have trouble trying to fit him into a deck that does hi  justice, but I'm looking forward to playing some kinda reno control paladin in wild 

After watching blazing teens, I was super into Yoyos, although that was when I was a kid. No idea how good I'd be now
Was a pretty good show btw. Most of their tricks were legit, with a bit of effects added in cuz y nut
Also I must say, your skills are pretty next level. You'd probably beat the finalist in this show in a super saiyan/draon/fire move or something 

hey guys! i dont really know if here is the appropriate section,if it's not tell me ,i'll move the topic to a more appropriate place :v .
i've been wondering if any other members of this board are also into any kind of juggling. and of course,if it's the case for anyone,i'd like to see whant you can do
speaking for myself ,i'm into yoyoing since two years ,and before that i also tried penspinning (even if it's waaay too hard  ^^' ) . i'll leave my more recent video here ,hope you'll like it .
have a nice day !
 

Rooke is a stealth master. As such, under the cover of darkness (and many prank and distracting telephone calls,) I have snuck into Tay’s office and snagged some ripping correspondence from his secretary’s desk. Let us see what we’ve uncovered today!
Oooh, interesting. A little hard to read, a little heated. I'm also holding a reply in my hand, I wonder what it says.
So there you go, people are falling over themselves to congratulate Tay on his excellent coverage of otome VNs on Fuwanovel. I am pleased to see this I wonder if SecretOtomeLover has received his reply? Well, I suppose if I’m holding the only copy in my hands, it may be a bit difficult. I should return it but alas it’s too risky - breaking and entering is serious business. Oh well, learning the value of backups is never a bad thing.

Here we have a little preview of one of the visual novel core elements; the background art! An alley in Tuamera City. 
The team has been looking for something that could match the sprites in terms of quality and style. We're glad to say that we've found it.

If it all comes down to what do you replace the x/10 with, and "nothing at all" isn't an option, I'm sticking with my salt container idea.

Pros and cons section will absolutely stay. If score gets removed, it will be replaced by something else. 

lol

I sure as hell wouldn't. I don't have enough time to read every new release as it is. Why would I need even more, faster? And if I could read them all in time, there's always a life outside of eroge/VNs. I don't want a life full of mediocre experiences. Give me quality over quantity literally every single time, please.

I have been sick the past week, so I haven't made too much progress, but I will get chapter 3 up as soon as possible. Hopefully tomorrow, but it might come out on saturday. I'll do what I can.
One thing though ... THIS WEEK WILL BE EPIC! Look forward to it.

I have taken everything you guys said into consideration, and here is a small teaser for this week's chapter, with some ... obvious new additions
 
 

The tool itself is a way to stop people from accessing the site for a certain amount of time. The way it's used is up for the user. 
Your post makes sense. It's why I don't criticize Nay's way of modding - I think it's perfectly valid. 
Still, if possible, I'd like people to stop being arses over saying they're not welcome. It's not like I never ban anyone. It's just that I prefer seeing if we can work things out before doing that... And I don't really think that's wrong. One of the advantages of being a small community is that we can pay attention to all the members, and make judgments afer familiarizing ourselves with the situations that led to the trouble-making and the nuance in the whole issue - and I think it'd be a waste to throw that privilege away. Things aren't black and white, and a kick in the nuts isn't always the right way to go about rule-breaking. 
Of course, it also depends on what the member is doing. Certain transgressions would just get someone banned, yes. 
Ugh. I suck at writing text-walls. Hopefully this managed to explain what I think about moderation better. If it didn't, rip me  

I just fell in love with Kaguya-hime all over again

Using translated VNs as a model to improve your writing is probably a bad idea.  Most releases employ literal translations by translators and editors who aren't professional fiction writers.
Using OELVNs as a model won't be much better since, again, most groups don't employ professional fiction writers.
You're probably better off reading popular fiction novels, honestly.

I was actually banned for like a day yesterday.
 
No bullshit; I actually like it here. /r/vns is getting too stale for me.

I'm frankly surprised @bigfatround0 hasn't been banned at least temporarily by this point, he literally admitted to screwing around:
If there are any legit complaints about moderation, it's how lenient they can be with his kind, ironically enough 

Aww hell yeah, user interface thread.
First rule of UI: Shizzle's gotta be shiny TO THE MAX. Buttons gotta be shiny, background image gotta be shiny, characters in background image gotta be shiny, sound effects gotta be shiny, et cetera.
Here's an example of PRIME SHININESS. They even got floating shiny animated stuff all over the place.
Shiny is bae.
Here's some more shiny, yo. It ain't as shiny as the first shiny, but when you open up the config and all that, there's some legit shiny in that faded background image, and buttons enter BLUE SHINY MODE when you hover your cursor over them.
And we ain't even got to SHINY SOUND EFFECTS because I don't know how to make webms with those. But them sound effects gotta be high-pitched, not too long but not too short, et cetera (because I ran out of stuff to say).
YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE SHINY.
Actually, that's the only thing I can think of. I don't care what else you do, so long as shizzle's shiny.

I feel visual novels are usually too nonsensical to provide any realistic portrayal of love. I might end up loving the characters. But I can't actually think of the story and the love development as realistic. To be honest. I think Visual novels are even worse to at reflecting real life than dating sims are. Even the thought of it is so far out there. I find it hard to point where it stands.
Although I think the concepts of dating sims are overly simplified as well. I do have a certain lack of faith that some people might understand this. For an average sociable guy I guess it won't be much of help. But a person who has never understood social settings. Or perhaps never really had much normal social contact with people. Perhaps It would be in some sense worthwhile? If actually dating sims makes people understand some social concepts, I can't say they are useless. Hopefully the people playing will have some hobbies or interests to talk with other people as well. Rather than just talking about dating sims, or the weather. 
Alright. Then I'd just say. "Then I'll give you Flutterz a glass of cognac." And you will be like:
 

Might sound weird, but I wonder if the video is onto something
I haven't actually played any dating sims as far as I can remember, aside from vn's in general. But if you believe the statistics from the video and the concepts it spurs. The sims does actually promote the basic concepts of dating. But not in that you should try to imitate how dating sims work. But rather understanding the concepts that dating sims have and the similarities they have in real life. The nuances of language, communication and relations to others. Knowing the difference between saying "how's it going" compared to "hello". "Do you like the taste of beer?" means more than just liking beer. Rather, saying yes to it. Would mean yes I'd like to drink with you as well. These should be might obvious for any functioning human being. But I am afraid for some people they aren't.
That sims have a value is based on that those statistics in the video are actually legit/good.. Their reliability aside. Actually talking to people is the only way to will actually become good at it. Also trying to randomly use dating advice without knowing how your actions work. Frankly is retarded.

So, the second vid is out:
While I do understand that both the past video and this one don't exactly bring new discoveries to how you should date, I think it highlighting the important parts of what you should and should not do to get a real grill is very enlightening, and self assuring. I personally think I'm going to take Huniepop, and games like it, more seriously after watching this. I never considered giving gifts to be a big deal for example (I thought it was just a cheap way to get a grill), but now I understand both how important it is and how to do it right.
Whether you look at it the same way or not, I would like to ask if you think the same can be said about the popular VNs in this community. The kinds Matt brings up as an example are mostly dating sims, which aren't really the same as your average Japanese VN. The latter tend to have more story and less mechanics, it's not as simple as getting to sleep with a girl. The methods used in things like KEY VNs in particular feel a little... Extreme and unrealistic. It's been a few years since I last read Clannad so I don't remember it too well, but I recall thinking "who dafak does this irl, these silly fapanese VNs"  I suppose it would require me to read VNs in a whole new light in order to come to a satisfactory conclusion, taking them a lot more seriously than I usually do. But what do ya'll think? : >

This is so well put I can't believe it's a shit post
