Osu!

I've noticed a lack of Osu! stuff, so i decided to create a thread
 
 
What is it?

An awesome rhythm game that ranges from really fun, to inhuman levels of difficulty (and fun). There are (currently) 4 modes of play:

Standard - Use your mouse to click
Catch the Beat (ctb) - Use your keyboard to run around the bottom of a screen to catch fruit
Taiko - Drums, on a computer
Osu!Mania - Piano keys, I have no idea what the upper limit of the keys are (8 I think)
 
 
 
 
 
Osu! Players on Fuwanovel
(Just report your primary play style, and I'll add you to the list!)
Fuwa names in the center, Osu! names on the sides

Standard

I think Sumika is the actual heroine, but I like Meiya more then anyone, even Kasumi.

I'd love to see how they would pace the show. I'm thinking of a 24 episode first season with a 12:12 Extra/Unlimited split, then a full 24 episodes for Alternative, then a third season with Day After and things like Rain Dancers and Chicken Divers as BD specials.

They would, naturally, animate Meiya's route.
Extra - Meiya
Unlimited - Meiya
Alternative - Sumika w/Meiya ending

She has literally one of the best singing voices I have ever heard.

薄汚れてる空を眺めて
君はそっと呟いた
揺らめくアスファルトの向こう
「道はどこだろう？」

見慣れた町、雪かう人々
あやふやで、好い加減で
ただ形の見えてる物は
横顔の答え

流れる景色吹き抜けてく風

気まぐれ　に　口ずさんだ　あの　メロデイ
動き出す　世界　への　鍵　を　持って

戸惑いながら、つまずきながら
「まっすぐ前へと行こう」
(I'm going to assume you forgot to put a " in the beginning here)

回る青空心焦がす日差し
陽炎に迷い込んだ本当の自分と
確かなもの捕まえて歩き出そう
微笑みと夢だけを忘れずに

溢れる思い、キラキラのひとみ
びるの向こうに消えてくとりの群れは
ああくすんだ夏空を置き去りにして

色好きながら、振り向きながら
僕らに呼びかけているよ

I hope this is right...

On a side note word-wise the last line
bokura ni yobi kakete iru yo
should be
bokura ni yobikaketeiru yo
confused me for a bit.

I'm more into the seiyuu side of JP music (as in, I tend to listen more to seiyuu who double as singers) so maybe you can try checking out:

Kaji Yuuki
Kakihara Tetsuya (his newer songs are really good)
Horie Yui (I like her better as an artist than a seiyuu)

ELISA recently came back from hiatus and released a new single, Soba ni Iru Yo, for the second ED of Valvrave. Her voice is really soft and soothing; if I were to describe it, it's like creamy chocolate that's been melted for spreading, kind of like butter lol. You should definitely give her a listen.

Yanagi Nagi also gets a special mention because I'm a Nagi fangirl extraordinaire and she's the queen of my heart <3 She has such a wide vocal range and can sing anything from fun, light-hearted songs



to songs that'll make you depressed and question the meaning of life. Okay, not really, but some of her songs are really deep and make you think.



She also came out with her first debut album earlier this month, which include some original songs, pieces from her previous singles, and even covers (i.e. Rurouni Kenshin's 1/2 and even a song from The Pillows). I unfortunately have not been able to get my hands on her first album because lolwhatismoney, but I've heard samples and judging from her previous works, it's definitely worth the try.

Errrr this post ended up being longer than I thought so I think I'll just stop here before I endlessly gush about how amazing Yanagi Nagi.

(still waiting for Tsukihime here)

-Edit-
Woops didn't read problem.
Might not be helpful whatsoever.
Sorry.

Huzzah! A Topic that I can finally contribute to! Well eclipse, that would really depend on what tablet you have.

Windows RT Tablet
I have no idea, never owned one. But this might possibly work.


Windows 8 Tablet
If it works, then you can play it (Win8 has some compatibility issues with other things, a lot of them having to do with engines that VN's are written on ex. kirikiri or rUGP)


iOS (iPad)
There are some on the iTunes App Store. But not much
Some people also report using xclannad to play some Key games.
You could always use a VNC client (but if you did that, the games wouldn't actually be on your iPad)
Though it hasn't been updated since 2012, you could always try Almight

Android
The largest selection after Windows tablets

Almight, again (though it really is useless)
The you have ppsspp, which is a psp emulator, but if you had psp iso's of VNs then you could play them through this theoretically.
VNDS which is an interpreter, it requires you to convert the game using converters foundhere. It started off as a DS reader, but then the dev decided to port it to android.
You could also use a VNC client
You could use ONScripter for Android or Habakiri to run ONScripter based (Higurashi, Umineko, Tsukihime, most older games) or Kirikiri (G Senjou no Maou, erm.. newer games)
0m3ga engine
Ren'py has an android option
There are also a lot of Visual Novels on Google Play.

D.C and D.C.II

And 恋姫夢想
Trial version of 恋姫

Kindle
Put android on it.

Hope this was helpful

Please read the disclaimer/other at the end

What you need:

1. A psp
2. A microusb or a Memory Stick Duo Adaptor
3. Software that can extract rar files
4. Converted games (you need to own the game first)

Steps:

1. Download ONScripter for Psp - Here
2. Extract the files, you should see something like below:

3. Connect your psp to your computer
4. Create a folder in Psp\game called ONS

5. Go back to the extracted onscripter-20110111_psp folder and click on the "ONS" folder, you should see something like below:

6. Copy the EBOOT.PBP and the ons.ini files and paste them into psp\GAME\ONS

7. Open a game (legally obtained)
8. Locate 3 files and copy them into the same directory as EBOOT.PBP

Arc.nsa or arc.sar (these files have all the sprites, backgrounds and voices, sometimes music)
0.txt or nscript.dat (this file has the story, and has instructions pertaining to music and voices)
default.ttf (font, if your game doesn't have one, I think any will do.)

IF your game has separate music, it would be a good idea to copy that over as well
Create another folder called CD inside it and place the music in there (should be in .ogg or .mp3)

9. After copying, your folder should look like this:

10. Put memory stick back into psp
11. Turn psp on
12. Go to games
13. Press X on ONSCRIPTER for PSP 20110111
(hopefully no crashes here)


Disclaimer/other:

1. This is an older version of ONScripter (I think, not too sure)
2. ONScripter website
3. This is actually a rather crude method, because I don't know how to load more then one game at a time.
4. If you intend on playing ONScripter based games, they need to be resized, I don't know how to do that (have an android tablet with a high enough native resolution )

Original games:




what happens when you fail to resize them:




5. I think this EBOOT is actually signed, so non cfw might be able to run it
6. the DDL link is NOT the original, it is a reupload by me because I was unable to find the original one.
7. I think my psp has B10 CFW (if you wanted to know, last time I checked, I could use PSN with B10 CFW)

-EDIT-
Erm... I don't really know what engine what games run on aside from a select few, you will have to ask around for romance stories.

I've seen other forums do this, so we should do the same.
The rules are simple, you post a screencap of an anime, and we guess the show/movie.
Try not to use really obscure screencaps.

Please don't use google image search, it ruins the game.

Winner gets a point, and gets to pick the next screencap.
If someone can't guess it in say 1 week, then submit more screencaps (up to the discretion of the submitter when to submit more).


I'll go first

Updated Nov 9 2013

Well I read through it (but twitter so complicated to read conversation!! xD)

And even though I don't understand all that is going on as I don't follow the TL scene as much, I know this:



Everything can be done for free and I as someone who uses lot of free things try to also offer what little I do for free (now this has nothing to do with VNs or anime in my case). So I would agree there with Aaeru.

However even though everything can be done for free, in this world there are still things that are not free and to get those you also need to get paid for stuff you could potentially do for free. You need money to buy food because it is not free, you need money to even pay for clean air as not even that is free anymore here. And in that I have to agree with Kouryuu, he just wants to live off doing translation and even though he could do it for free, nobody is going to give him food for free, give him place to live for free.

However I do not agree with him going against the free competition. He can do TL for money, but he has no right to tell people to stop doing it for free. If I volunteer to go helping old people for free, I don't expect people that work in the care system to get mad because they get paid for it.


In order to survive in this world, you need to find a nice balance, do as many things for free because you can also use other people's work for free. But you still need something to buy the things that are not free.

As I already mentioned I work on the internet in book selling system - and people pay us for books they can torrent or download for free on various sites - because it is a digital copy of the book, it doesn't cost anything to give it to them. However I have this as my job and get paid for it - that way I can afford to live. They pay for the convenience to have the books on one place, just like on steam. And even though they can get it free and I could be giving it for free to people, I cannot expect anyone to give me free food and water and roof to live under. Because nobody will.


So you are both right and wrong. You are similar, but each of you charges people for something else. He charges people for his translation works and then maybe does lot of things for free. You Aaeru charge nothing for your TL work, but surely you still do something to earn money, you could do it for free but you can't because that way you couldn't afford to live. I don't know what your source of income is but whether it is manual work or some data entry work or work in McDonald's or you have a business, you need to get paid for it. That way you have way to live and you can do free stuff for the rest of the day

So you just need to understand each other, he needs to understand that you can do free stuff he does for money (and he has no right to stop you). And you need to understand that just like you do your paid job, he needs one too to live. He does free stuff in different place.
Its not like he is a millionaire, I don't like those because those just have money sitting or account and still do charge for their work (and sometimes its not even their work). If I could get everything for free, I wouldn't charge anything for what I do. But some people have more then they can use (and they even use much more then they need). After I pay my life expenses I have like 100$ a month left, I do with that because there is lot of free stuff on the internet, sadly I can't afford a plane to places I want to visit like Japan. But I rather do some stuff for free and not visit Japan, than if I would get paid for everything and have all money for myself - sadly many people go only for money and their own happiness and that needs to be fixed.
For example politicians in this country take too much money and their work is not even worth it. If they just took what normal person needs, we wouldn't have to pay for state services. Few years ago we still didn't have to pay for medical care, doctor visits etc. Now we do have to pay. And I think in this case it is even worse in America (with health care). And because America has so big influence over the economy, I don't think this copyright bullshit can change, because it all originated there. Hard to say if communism with socialistic economy really worked as it was intended to work (as the original author explained in the book), it could really be a good political system with good economy, however it is only a theory and nowhere in the world it ended up working. Because there are always greedy people and thus in theory good communism/socialism turned into totalitarianism and other shit. (and even so many older people here always remember how everything was free... yeah too bad it wasn't the only thing, too bad it brought very big disadvantages with it as well, because of bad evil people)

Now don't take me like some socialist communism fan, just saying that if it work as wrote on paper, it could be good, just like would be democracy and capitalism on paper - they sound good but in reality they are shit, I don't prefer any of the systems, neither of them works on this planet.

However it is not really problem of the systems but a problem of the people and there will always be bad people.

Anyway neither Aaeru or Kouryuu are one of those, you just do things differently, get paid for something else. So you should not argue and just accept each other and live happily as you can in this corrupted and rotten society.
