... Laplacian isn't a company I had any hopes for, after how much of a kusoge their first game, Kimi to Yumemishi was. However, Newton to Ringo no Ki is a pleasant surprise, with a lot of nostalgia for people, like me, who were born in the mid to early eighties. Why? Because this is, in some ways, a tribute to the Back to the Future movies I watched as a kid. While the time travel style is switched from a car to a telescope and there are a few minor differences (no vanishing protagonists), the idea is the same. Time paradoxes exist, you can change the past, and you can never tell what will screw up the future. This game has a true ending. That probably won't surprise anyone, seeing how the game is all about Sir Isaac Newton, who is actually a pen-name for a twin-tailed loli named Alice. Basically, the protagonist and his childhood friend, Yotsuko, accidentally go back to the past and screw up the moment when Newton normally would have gained inspiration for the final part of his theory of gravity. The rest of the game is about fixing the damage they did to humanity's future by trying to arrange for Newton's work to be published regardless. To be straight about it, all the other endings besides Newton's lead to failures for science, though the protagonist himself is happy in them. I honestly enjoyed most of the game... but, similar to the previous game, it is poorly paced at times. Also, Yuuji is not exactly an interesting perspective... he is the dumbest guy in the room throughout the game (which isn't hard, since everyone there is a scientist), which is depressing in and of itself at times. These two elements definitely dragged the game down from where it might have been... and the true ending sort of put the final nail in the coffin, taking the game below the acceptable levels for a VN of the Month candidate. I did think Lavi's side-stories were hilarious though.

Do you happen to have Office installed? If so, here's what fixed it for me: 1. Open Task Scheduler 2. Go into the task scheduler library > Microsoft > Office 3. You will notice that OfficeBackgroundTaskHandlerRegistration is set to repeat every single hour 4. Right-click the task and disable it That's what fixed it for me at least, haven't had the popup ever since. If you don't have that Office task scheduled for every single hour, there is still a good chance you will find your problem in the Task Scheduler. Just open it up when you notice the popup and go through all the categories, sorting the tasks by the last time they were ran. You can also manually run them to check if that was what you were seeing. Hope this helps!

Did you even read all the posts in the thread? I noticed the same problem fairly recently (and find it super annoying), and found this well-timed post on Tom's Hardware suggesting exactly what Vokoca said, so I'm trying it out without reasonably high hopes.

It really depends on the country. In Sweden pretty much everything but kids' shows is subbed (which is great for our English skills!).

Thank you for your feedback! It will be very helpful for future demos and hopefully the end result provided we get there! We plan on fleshing out the story a lot more if our goal is met so it's good to know scenes like this should be something to work more on! I am a bit confused though, by "M" what do you refer to? Sorry for not understanding right away ;; I believe the word count targets currently set are there to develop future relation/story paths but perhaps it can be worked on with fewer after all~

The part of the story where

Hello everyone! So once a week I will be posting a challenge; either watch the anime series I post or the movie, or both. If you end up watching the anime series and stop watching it before the fifth episode you will be put on a naughty list. How do you get off the naughty list? By finishing the anime, or by watching the next anime I give out. However if you stop watching the series at episode five you won't be punished for it. (I hope you are all honest here!).

Seikoku no dragonar, completed with 20+ volumes, is focus in the harem but without harem end

I certainly did not expect Clannad to beat Swan Song and Higurashi to beat VLR.

Harukoi otome, this game is garbage Other than that, i would say comyu (for it's mc ˆˆ) but i think somes will disagree.

To provoke desirable reactions such as yours.

Finished Kanon. It was a beautiful (retro) experience despite a perfectible writing (for example, some endings were bad/botched and the H-scenes were horrible). Similarly, it was refreshing to follow a good and likeable protagonist (for once, he's not a stupid donkan). Girl Ranking : Akiko (she's like a summer ray of sunshine just in the middle of Winter) > Nayuki (sweet sleepyhead) = Shiori = Kaori (but no route for her ) = Sayuri > Makoto (funny but too childish) = Ayu (funny but too much uguu kills the uguu) = Mai (a mysterious coodere...but a bit too quiet) Route Ranking : Shiori (the classic moving story but with a truly satisfying closure)> Makoto (surprisingly touching) > Mai (the ending left me slightly puzzled...otherwise it was pretty, mysterious and poetic > Ayu (nice but too predictable) = Nayuki (interesting until we discover a rushed ending) > Sayuri (she deserved better)

death is something i consider as a gateway to the other world (or blackness depending on your beliefs) but its not something that should be feared

Akiyume Kukuru is the third (and possibly final) game in Sumikko's 'Seasons' meta-sci-fi series. It centers around a group of five 'Holders', people genetically altered at the embryo stage to possess possibilities that don't otherwise exist in Earth's evolution using artificial DNA and RNA known as XNA. These five people are individuals whose actions or abilities have made them a threat to society/the government/etc., and they have been exiled to Ruruan, a closed city in Hokkaido where a quantum bomb was detonated, obliterating the possibilities of the area it covered. In this area, objects and time move on a one-day time loop, causing objects and the shattered remnants of the people (blobs known as WASPs) to return to the state they were the previous day. The only way for an object to cease looping is for an individual to purchase it, thus 'observing' it as being their own ('observation' in the Schrodinger's Cat meaning of the word). Anyway, despite what sounds like a bunch of spoilers above, this is all basic everyday knowledge for these five people (six if you include their human loli-teacher). These five were placed there both as an exile/punishment and in order to see what effect their presence would have on the damaged region. This VN is classic Sumikko in one sense... in that it is full of meta-ideas and insane over the top happenings, as well as an immense amount of sexual and violence-related humor (which is also a signature of this series). To let those interested know, this one is as distinct from Natsukumo as Natsukumo was from Harumade. What that means is that the ideas it explores are fundamentally different while still being involved in concepts drawn from quantum physics and ideas (ideas versus the scientific meaning of theory). To be blunt, most of the scientific terms involved are ones that are beyond the understanding of someone who doesn't major in physics (well, beyond a surface understanding anyway), so I advise anyone reading this to focus on the protagonist's interpretations, since those the ones most likely to be relevant (obviously). I honestly loved the characters - both the heroines and the protagonist - and I thought the game as a whole was a really enjoyable read. I laughed a lot at this one, and other parts made me think. I came to the conclusion that Sumikko is the only company I've ever encountered that can manage this meta-crap without making it sound like a pretentious teenager quoting Nietzsche. That's mostly because the writer is rather open about the fact that he/she doesn't care if we understand every detail of what is going on, as well as noting (in a really subtle way) that all of this is a bunch of convenient interpretations of various thought experiments. Anyway... this is a fun VN if you can stand a few infodump-related headaches and like Sumikko's peculiar brand of violence and sex humor (think heroines that casually make serious death threats out of love/friendship and others that get hooked on not wearing panties...). The characters are all nicely twisted, whether it is the ex-male (had his/her balls shot off during the conflict) Noa who used to be a bomber or Saori's belief that making her breasts sway is an art form... so that in itself would have made for a fun game. Don't expect any really huge mindfucks in this one, in comparison with the previous two. For whatever reason, they didn't really focus on fooling you on the big points, preferring to catch you on the details (there is a mindfuck hidden in the story, but it is relatively mild compared to Harumade or Natsukumo).

Fate/Stay Night The Holy Grail War. That hellish, great ritual that offers the ultimate prize for the one who claims it: a wish.
