  1. He who fight trolls should take care that he himself doesn't become a troll. Gaze too long into the Abyss, and the Abyss gazes into you.

      I believe the quote originated from the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche.

      That's who I meant. Dang. That's embarrassing.

      Freudian slips are par for the course when you're thinking about VNs all day. Hopefully you don't work in gynecology. Or pediatrics.

  2. What others call "personality" is merely a mask we sculpt for their viewing pleasure. What's underneath is more complex, more ugly, than they care to gaze at.

      I think you're possibly the only person that will ever read this.

      Oh dear. I'm not sure I dare click that link...

      I promise clicking it won't instantly reveal your real name alongside quotes of you gushing over Starless.

      ^ Confirmed: accurate.

  3. To people who mindlessly criticize machine translation based on screenshots / abortive attempts, I provide the following allegory:

    One day you hear that you can ride a bicycle to get somewhere faster than walking.  You immediately fall on your face as soon as you mount it, and declare, "Bicycles suck!  Either walk or buy a car!"

    The bicycle is machine translation.  Walking is waiting for an actual translation.  The car is learning Japanese.

      Why car is not "paying to translator"? Seems legit :)

      I include that under "walking".  What you propose is essentially a crowdfunding campaign.

      Basically no, as you would not be waiting, you would take exclusive steps for your dream realization. Alas learning japanese would be much cheaper.

  4. Why did I spend 10hrs writing a feature review of a game that will more than likely never be translated?

    1. Zalor

      Because you liked it. Or that's the only reason I could think of.

      It's actually been finished since Sunday, but I'm still waiting for an editor to take a look at it.

      I've written most of the VNDB synopses for the Venus Blood series, so I suppose I figure if I don't give the games some attention they'll never get any.

  5. Looking forward to Rooke's writing critique of Sakura Spirits

      If he ever gets around to anything but his self-absorbed, "I'm too cool for Fuwa because I'm working on a VN", "Look at me, Ma! I'm a VN producer!" ways.

      ... < 3, Rooke.

      That blog of yours makes for very diverse, and interesting reading.

      Ha, thanks. It's making the tagging a real pain. I do keep my eyes on what types of content get more views, though this is complicated by the fact that someone can read posts without registering a "vote" by clicking through. Sadly, the posts with more views could simply represent the ones with an interesting feature pic that browsers wanted to see full-size...

  6. We're all hypocrites. Through discussion we forge and temper our ideas and ourselves. I often challenge others to prove me wrong. Sometimes they do; sometimes they don't. Either way, I win.

  7. Saying someone deserves to have something bad to happen to them for is the epitome of online trolling.

      Yes! So much yes.

  8. I can schedule blog posts to post themselves in the future. Like time capsules. Neat.

      good luck with time capsule.

  9. I suggested once that the folks at Mangagamer move to China to make their paycheck go a little further. My advice wasn't received very warmly. http://forums.fuwanovel.net/index.php?/topic/10399-the-horror-of-working-in-the-anime-industry/?p=290799

  10. Doddler detained over obscene eroge in Canada. This doesn't bode well for the eroge market.

  11. A foolish man sees the world around him through a crooked lens, believing only that which is convenient. A wiser but still foolish man seeks to evaluate the world objectively, settling on an absolute truth and insisting on its correctness. A wise man realizes that objective truth is elusive, and that only through considering many perspectives and constantly revising one's assessment can true understanding be reached.

  13. Criticism is the sincerest form of flattery. It means someone is actually paying attention to you.

  14. A definition is not an objective truth; it is simply a vehicle for communication.

  15. Tentacles are a tool: neither good nor evil. Tentacles don't rape people. People do. And sometimes monsters.

  16. There's two types of people in this world: people who think for themselves and people who let others do the thinking for them.

  17. To create a blog, or not to create a blog, that is the question...

  18. Currently working on a list of eroge with censored official English releases

  19. JAST is on track to do a wonderful job not marketing Seinarukana. More news at 7.

  20. Vehement opposition of censorship, targeted in the wrong direction, can just as easily restrict freedom of speech as enable it. http://blog.fuwanovel.net/2015/04/endorse-jasts-censorship-shiny-days/
