    babiker reacted to Valmore in Agobarrier, the writer of shuffle Passed away   
    That's pretty cold, man. Even on just the fact that he most likely had family of some sort means something of value to them was lost. Maybe his VNs weren't world breaking to many (I haven't read those yet) but still, he was a person, and so far as we know a normal person, not a person the world would be better off without, which are few and far between anyway.

    @KeadRei I knew it wouldn't be long before Gurren Lagaan got mentioned! Kamina's bombast definitely qualifies for me as something quite inspiring. For me, it's a great example of the kind of leadership described by Iskandar in @babiker's signature: a person who displays behaviour in the extremes lends himself to be followed as a role-model, because he is a tangible standard people can strive for: a manifestation of what their dreams are in reality, an example of what they COULD be, if they committed themselves enough!
    Bonus Omake for Gurren Lagaan fans:
     
     
    Oh, make no mistake, she might not have understood it fully, but she definitely knew what she was talking about. The phenomenon of transference is accepted as a well-documented fact. Happiness is definitely contagious - but be warned that negative emotions are as well!

    The first draft of the story for the demo is finished! It ended up being around 10.000 words, which will be around 30 minutes of reading time. We'll be going into editing, and drawing the first four backgrounds!

    @Tiagofvarela, Our first interaction that stands out in my memory was when we rallied our forces to defeat the loli overlord in the first Fuwa banner competition. I believe that thread was later deleted because of some drama, but it was totes worth it. Other than that I recall you agreeing to record a poem for me, which is still there for the world to see on my channel. That was cool of you. I also remember taking a rather large amount of gifs from you, which proved very useful in editing my videos. One particular time where we didn't get along in was in one of Aniki's games, in which you refused to ally with me :c
    I can probably recount more such events, as my memory is rather good with recalling seemingly meaningless conversations, but that should suffice to help you remember a little bit. You've recently died in activity way more than me, so I hope you do more stuff like this so I can enjoy exchanging more silly words with you. Keep it kewl and screw Da haters, you're fine how you are

    babiker reacted to Fred the Barber in My SakuraCon panel, "Getting Started with Visual Novels"   
    Thanks for the support and the suggestions, folks.
    My presentation is in 9 hours - starting to get a little jittery, but I'm sure it'll be fine.
    I actually intended to do things in that order initially, but I've been reading books about presentations, and some points they made convinced me that I needed to move things around. The psychology is basically that you need to start off strong, and then end even stronger. In an informational presentation like this, it's ok for the middle to be a little bit slower, but the ending is what people are going to remember the most, so you really need to save your strongest moments for the wrap-up.
    Probably the online video is a pretty different beast vs. the in-person presentation, in two big ways:
    Viewers are less invested in the online video than the people at the panel will be, since it's just a youtube video and they're comfortably at home; they can click away at any time. If you're there in person, as long as I hook you enough at the beginning and keep the pace reasonable, you're not going to get up and leave on me. In the live presentation format, I'm going to be visible, and people like looking at people rather than words (which is why my slides have so little text) - so a lot hinges on my attitude. Like Ageha said in KonoSora, you can control people with your eyes. So, I'm going to be trying to make good eye contact and whatnot to try to keep people engaged, and then finish strong to get people really hooked on the idea.

    The last GM standing Q&A:
     
    Hello people of Fuwa.
    A few days ago, Kaguya and Eclipsed made a joke about making me a BM if I made a fanfic about the Global mods fighting each other using armies of us fuwanovel members. (The deal being that Kaguya had to win )
     
    Now, after thinking about it a bit, I thought it could actually be a fun idea, for each of the global mods to recruit a small team of fighters from the members, naming a few of them as their generals, lieutenant's etc, and then I write the story of their battle. (And no, Kaguya would not be the automatic victor. )
    (I'm fairly certain there is more global mods on the forum, but these three are the ones I know the best, and I figured they would be okay with something like this.)
    (If not, I guess I'm getting banned. RIP Dergonu )
    @Kaguya
    @Nosebleed
    @Down
     
    So, what do you guys think? What team would you side with?
    Leave a comment with one of these:
    #Team Nosebleed: Members, @mitchhamilton , @Kiriririri, @Satsuki , @Valmore , @Deep Blue , @Nebjula , @kingdomcome
    #Team Down: Members, @Nashetania , @Tiagofvarela , @Funyarinpa , @babiker , @Maxel , @MoeKyun , @Fred the Barber , @nohman , @Totodile , @FinalChaos , @Kawasumi , @Flutterz , @Turnip Sensei 
    #Team Kaguya: Members, @Dergonu , @Nimbus, @Arcadeotic , @gijimu, @Velociraptor , @greenshadow622 , @Eclipsed , @VirginSmasher , @hitoribocchi , @Zebhra , @Duyy , @Jade
     
    (#Team Nosebleed has chosen the color pink for their team color.) - Team general @mitchhamilton (Since I got no reply from the mods, I used a random number generator to choose the general.)
    (#Team Kaguya has chosen the color red for their team color.) - Team general @greenshadow622 (Since I got no reply from the mods, I used a random number generator to choose the general.)
    (#Team Down has, with incredible enthusiasm, chosen green for their team color!) - Team general: @Tiagofvarela
     
    And for the mods, who of the members on your team do you want as your team leaders?
     
    For anyone who wants in, but doesn't want to choose a team, simply say that you are in and I'll assign you to a team later.
     
    (... Or just ignore this topic and let it die in a few days )
     
    I wrote a small introduction to the battle: (I kind of named Eclipsed Kaguya's general in this one, but I'll change that if Kaguya wants someone else.)
     
     
    (* Special rule #1, if Clephas chooses to join the fight, he will have a power limiter attatched to him so that the fights will be fair. )
    (* Special rule #2, Kaguya's immortality has been disabled in the fight by Nayleen and Tay.)

    But that's the thing, you don't see that it's in the Coliseum of Chatter until after you click it, since we're talking about the sidebar here. An alternative solution would be to mention what part of the forum it's in somewhere on the sidebar

    This is something I've seen being implemented on a few reddits and I think it's worked quite well: Mods should add "Misleading" to the start of a misleading thread. Like this:
    While that example shows "quality shitpost" (lol), you get the idea. I think it's a fair solution for both sides, people don't like being tricked by a misleading title, and people also dislike no one reading their threads at all.

    I was addressing that particular solution, which I think is not the right one. I don't care if the CoC posts disappear from the sidebar, I don't even use it.
    If you absolutely want your eyes to be completely protected from shitposting though, I think the only efficient solution is to close your browser and unplug your internet cable.

    I like the idea of a thread to publicly contend moderation.  I feel that some unnecessary censorship goes on sometimes--often not at all related to lolis too!
    Honestly this entire thread so far until Rooke's last post was just a waste of time to read.  Let's end the discussion of the need to ban OrignalRen.  It's dumb and nothing useful regarding the matter has been said.
    Yes, the clickbait threads in the sidebar are annoying.  They distract from real discussion and people asking for help--and just make the forum feel less useful and irritating to browse.  It's getting to the point that I think action may need to be taken.  I'm really anti suppression of speech, so that speaks for my level of irritation.
    I recommend one or more of the following solutions to this problem:
    Exclude new threads from the Coliseum of Chatter from the sidebar (best solution) Enforce descriptive thread titles (moderators may change thread titles without warning) to keep clickbait titles under control Consolidate Colisseum of Chatter threads and limit the creation of new threads to avoid clutter in the sidebar This is a forum and not a chatter box.  If you want to chatter about inside jokes, broadcasting to the entire Fuwa community is not the way to do it.  Keep it inside existing threads (in the Coliseum of Chatter) or take it to Chat Box (or off-site).

    That's a kinda sad/cynical individualistic vision of life. Social factors don't reduce to attention seeking, you can be motivated by a desire for social bonding which is centered more on the relation than on yourself, or by a desire to spread knowledge, etc. Altruism (which is only social in a broad definition since it's biologically engineered in numerous species like ours) and boredom seem like other plausible options.

    babiker reacted to InvertMouse in Unhack 2   
    Hi everyone! I recently finished putting together the Unhack 2 digital artbook, so I wanted to show it off today. Hope that's cool .
    Unhack 1, Cursed Sight, Without Within—just about all of my titles come with a digital artbook available as an add-on. Unhack 2 will be no different, so let’s take a sneak peek at what we can expect to see.


    First, the artbook will include your standard set of character sprites, CGs and backgrounds. Each image will come coupled with a brief commentary on the thought processes that took place during development.

    The Unhack 2 artbook will also feature a power chart that shows how capable each programmer and AI is in combat. A² always says she is the strongest AI, well, we will see about that, because characters from Unhack 1 are also included in this book.
    Players have mentioned they wished these artbooks would include early sketches used during development. I want to honor that request, so Unhack 2’s artbook will feature behind the scene sketches shared between Rosuuri and me.
    Thank you everyone !
