  1. Lots and lots of willpower. But I lied, it was only one all nighter, the rest I had the luxury of getting some < 4 hours sleep. And my prize(s) for surviving just arrived! e: my sister just saw the Senran Kagura and gave me a weird look I guess it's the first time I brought home a weeby thing

  2. Step 1: Find a post that seems constructive. Shitposting on a shitpost doesn't gain as much salt since everyone is doing the same thing you are Step 2: Dig deep and find the most irrelevant, cancerous tumblr reddit brainchild of a sentence you can find. If you don't have the mindset for it or you're not familiar enough with the ways of cancerbending to do so please refer to one of your mentors such as @Flutterz or @VirginSmasher. Step 3: Repeat this as often as possible to establish yourself as a reputable shitposter. Step 4: Make sure your shitposting maintains consistent quality. Only have 1 or 2 good shitposts out of 500 makes you an irrelevant tryhard. Step 5: Be extra salty (Like @solidbatman). Step 6: Remember all tastes and opinions are shit in the shadow of your own. Insult someone's taste as often as possible Step 7: Post count is life. Step 8: Fuwachat is where you should spend most of your time to practice your shitposting and gain new techniques such as when to kek, lel, > and abusing the /me function. Step 9: Play F/GO or Kancercole and claim to love it for the waifus then proceed to talk about it excessively with other shitposters Step 10: Never be relevant and constructive. Now that you know how to be a shitposter go out there and use your talents to better society. Stay salty my friends.

  3. Here's what I would do with these particular ones. Note that I don't claim to be an authority; rather, these are just my thoughts on how to make the lines read better, which also coincidentally make them shorter. And please don't take this as me being negative about the translation or the editing - this is simply my opinion on what I would do if I were editing. Simple things: In addition to, as you noted, dropping an extra ellipsis, drop "looking at it", and probably drop "very". If you're feeling more adventurous: "And... with the clock tower looking so beautiful and mysterious from a distance, I'd hate to have that impression ruined by" whatever comes next. Simple things: Cut "very" and "significantly", leave the parenthetical intact. In this sentence, those adverbs aren't buying you anything you don't already get for free from the adjectives they're modifying. Decay's suggestions are great, too; I wouldn't have thought to do them, apparently, but I do think they make the sentence scan better. Simple things: "architectural professionals" => "architects", drop "in order", and, it goes without saying, fix the run-on sentence... I think the previous lines only improve from my suggestions, but this one's a little harder to improve while simply cutting text, for me at least. Anyway, simple things: drop "just", consider changing "negative" to "bad", maybe swap "let me down" for "disappoint me" (which is actually slightly longer... but sounds better to me). More adventurous: Depending on the larger context, maybe you can shift the tense of "I haven't been thrilled" out of present perfect and reclaim a few characters, but it kind of feels like the right tense here, even if it is an unfortunately verbose one... Most adventurous, but most likely to work out: Rewrite the whole second sentence's simile into something both shorter and more glib. The precise details of the original simile are almost certainly irrelevant to literally everything else in the script, though of course you'd want to confirm that... it's possible that ten or a thousand lines later there's some reference back to that negatively-reviewed tourist spot, but that's extremely unlikely. I've rewritten a handful of little throwaway lines like this in my small time editing, and maybe one of that handful has come back to bite me later (in the form of having to go back and rewrite it once again, closer to the original...). Edit: My translator and senpai, to expostulate What editing should be, what grammar is, What day is day, night night, and time is time, Were nothing but to waste night, day, and time; Therefore, since brevity is the soul of wit; And language its merest limbs and outward flourishes, I will be brief. Your noble VN is rad.

    For me it's Sorami for sure. She is just too cute. I'm glad that her true end was truly a happy ending.

    There's no true true (canon) ending for tokyo babel overall, but every route has a true end. Setsuna's end is a slight branch from Lilith's true end; it's nothing special really.

  17. Finally went and finished the Gahkthun Fandisk. For a fandisk it was pretty alright. The game divided in two parts; the repeating "Shining 6 days" where you choose between events from the map screen, and the titular "Shining Night", which is the grand conclusion. "Shining 6 days" is mostly slice of life, and it's pretty good one at that, granted you liked the characters. There's drunk Neon, Berta being super moe and so on. And while it's not exactly dark, it's not all fun and games either. If there's something that's hindering the enjoyment, it's the fact they show the same scene from multiple perspectives a lot. At times it works pretty well. Sakurai's characters are pretty internally conflicted so the feel of the scene can change a lot depending who's thoughts you get to read and there are some individual parts that make it worth your while. But at worst it's seeing the same scene 6 times with very minimal changes. (luckily that's only one scene) Shining Night also touches some of the subjects that weren't included in Gahkthun. Like Izumi's situation, Tesla's and few other characters (Neon's friends, especially the last one's) pasts that were somewhat neglected in the original. But for all the questions that are answered it introduces few new as well. For example vigilantes and "The Shining League" seems quite integral part of the story from the first glance, but apparently it was just a shout-out the Gahkthun Anthology novel. Talk about small disappointment, I wanted to see Sakurai writing about superheroes in classical western style... The finale "Shining Night" is also pretty cool. There's epic confrontations, and even though the fight itself feels little too close to that in the end of Gahkhtun, the ending itself is pretty satisfying. Fandisk is by concept already pretty difficult thing to finish properly since it's basically a continuation to an already finished story, but not a sequel either, so it's all the better. I wouldn't say the fandisk is very good visual novel, but it's not bad either. The structure is little crooked and it suffers from not being it's own story. Still it's good fun for those who liked the characters, and even though it might be little weak in terms of plot, the writing itself is good as ever. There's some fascinating things tucked inside even the smaller scenes and the familiar charm is still there.

    Ok I just fapped 4 times in a row and slept for 3 hours and still feel tired... Anyways Funya my dear, congrats on having some highschool life drama. Savour the moment and love it till it lasts no matter how much thinking it takes from you or how much of a headache it is.... Hopefully it doesn't end with just your answer. Also say yes for the sake of things becoming interesting So my exams are basically after 8 days and last for 23 days.... I am actually excited ._. Which is the weirdest thing ever. It's a nice feeling besided the overwhelming pressure. And whenever I feel my motivation wavering , I remember how I will finally get my new pc which has been delayed for 3 years now...... 3 freaking years. Dunno what even I wanna start playing.

  19. Well, you could do a number of things with this line. I'm guessing the cut-off word there is "help"? So, the part that is actually unnecessary in this sentence is not the parenthetical phrase (at least, not the first half of it). It's the "for her help" bit, since that is very easily assumed from the context. "She's very self-assured and is significantly popular with boys and girls alike (mostly boys) thanks to her kindly giving advice to anyone who asks." If I'm counting characters correctly, that would fit while improving the natural feel of the sentence. The "mostly boys" bit is a key part of the line's humor (such as it is), I feel, so removing it would definitely be wrong. Anyway, figuring out where the fluff lies is definitely an art, and not one I'd expect someone who doesn't have a native-level mastery of the english language to be proficient at. If you ask rooke, he'll give a fifteen paragraph explanation and a much better line than what I gave.
