OH BOY, THIS IS THE THREAD FOR ME! Hmm, where do I start? Clannad: Mediocre at best. Terrible humor (with the exception of Nagisa's parents), bloated, uneven pacing, strange narrative choices, focus on emotional impact to a huge detriment of... well, common sense, really. One of the few VNs that made me genuinely fucking angry at various points. Grisaia no Kajitsu: Godawful protagonist, shamelessly bloated in the common route, plot inconsistencies everywhere, some narrative choices annoyed the fuck out of me as well. Should have also been set in an alternate universe or alternate future, cause it's impossible not to ruin the immersion with all the completely over-the-top unrealistic stuff that's not so much impressive as it is vexing. Shuffle!: Fuck Shuffle! Demonbane: Well, that's more of my own personal problem, but I was promised a Lovecraftian story and what I got was Lovecraftian in name only. They could've used names from Shakespeare's works and call it Shakespearean with roughly the same effect. Hoshizora no Memoria: A character-focused title without any good characters. The plot wasn't particularly inspired either. G-Senjou no Maou: It wasn't a bad read, and I hesitated to include it in this list, but after reading Sharin no Kuni it was a definite letdown in comparison.

The entire DEARDROPS OST (with the exception of those two Kanade songs)

Genuinely can't think of any. I've got a bunch of examples for the opposite though.

It's probably not worth it anyway, just like GnK wasn't really worth it. And yet I'll probably buy it at some point. That's the perverse nature of my love-hate relationship with this torrid franchise.

Liked DEARDROPS, downloaded their "albums". The avatar comes from the booklet of My Dear Stardust.

I don't recommend doing that, it's a nightmare to clean the screen afterwards.

It can be both if you kickstart it!

Things would get very boring and cliched for a couple of years, and then thankfully it all would end.

Precisely. Kirakira's underlying theme is the struggle associated with growing up, learning responsibility and entering adult society. I liked how d2b vs. DEARDROPS made a seemingly intentional effort to drive that point home by illustrating the starkly different nature of troubles and worries facing the members of two bands.

DEARDROPS and Kirakira are similar in the same way that thrash metal and jazz are similar, because they're both music, right? Comparisons between the two are something of a pet peeve of mine, cause if you're doing exactly that, you're pretty much admitting that you didn't "get" at least one of them (usually it's Kirakira). They seem alike, but the essence and the message couldn't be more different.

OVERDRIVE, Nitroplus, Akabei Soft 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 78.

If you say so.

Pretty sure there's at least two artists going by that name, the other one is mostly illustrating hentai doujinshi or something. It's easy to tell their works apart though.

On a side note, I'd buy a translated release of Futari no Qualia and Hitori no Qualia without a second thought, just for Fue's art. I wouldn't even care that much if they're the shittiest VNs in existence.

Alright, thank you! And yeah, I basically stumbled upon that site while checking out what Fue is doing these days.

Here's why playing a Play-Your-Opponent's-Deck Priest is worth it (despite occasionally going on huge losing streaks): This was easily the most ridiculous game I've ever had. My opponent was an actually "playable" deathrattle priest, we both had early Shifting Shades and Sylvanaseseses, then we stole more Shifting Shades and Sylvanases from each other, and the end result of this Shifting Shadeception was... this. I stole his N'Zoth. Also, I played about 5 or 6 Sylvanases in that game. Stupid minion limit!

http://www.katahane.com/ I'm calling on the combined moonspeak powers of Fuwa! What is this supposed to be? Re-release? Remaster? Any new content? Thanks.

I haven't even got very far (spent way too much time re-rolling to try various races and government types before settling on a republic of god-fearing pacifist donkeypeople). I bet at least some of 200 DLC they're likely to churn out will try and address that.

Stellaris. Fucking Stellaris. Goddammit Paradox, why do you always ruin my productivity, hell, my very life, with your stupidly addictive games?

It's on sale at 80% off right now. Give it a go if you haven't tried it already.

The Big Lebowski Once Upon a Time in the West Clerks

Got the golden... whatever the name of that super-annoying old god thing that fires a ton of spells is. Dusted it. Got a few other legendaries as well, including Hallazeal, which is the only one I wanted anyway. It's not even been a week since the release, and I already hate C'Thun decks with a passion.

Here you go. Never look back.
