Doubt it. In every art form there is always a notion that the past was better than the present, but it's my firm belief that this is universally the effect of time making people remember only the better releases and forgetting how much other shit was released at the same time. A classic only becomes a classic because it's stood the test of time. A modern work cannot, by definition, be a classic till it has become old. We only remember the classics of the past and compare them to the broad landscape of the present.

Yikes man. Ya know, I used to think I had a gaming addiction myself until my therapist told me otherwise, and now I know for sure I don't have it after reading your story. My issue wasn't so much that I was playing games obsessively, but it was my immediate go-to when my anxiety started getting bad. I'd play them for hours on end because I didn't want to face the problems I had in front of me. What kept it from being an addiction, however, is that I would be able to pull myself away from them when I absolutely needed to. I suppose you weren't quite as lucky. Sorry to hear about happened to you with university; that's not gonna be very easy to recover from. But ya know, that's fine. You've already taken a major step forward just by acknowledging your problems, and you've even taken it another step further by making plans to get a handle on your addiction. Keep doing that! Even if half your ideas fail, you will find something that works eventually if you just keep trying. I don't know if you have access to one, but try to get with a therapist too. They really do help tremendously.

Happy birthday to @Flutterz!

@Flutterz Happy birthday Flutzie! Here, have a moe! I miss moe bot Flutterz (/ω＼)

Happy Birthday to @Flutterz! You should post more though, you have to hit that 10000 content count one day.

Happy 24th birthday to our mod @Flutterz and belated 25th birthday to our @Satsuki in which both of two did coincidentally(?) have Kud as their avatar. I hope that both of you will have a good year ahead.

You are living up to your name. 8/10 Thanks for the bump! I was starting to miss this thread.

As promised, I checked all my Steam VNs. Here's the list of the ones that worked without Steam client: Chrono Clock Dal Segno Enigma Fureraba Himawari IMHHW/Konosora (with Retranslation patch) Koi ni kanmi wo Soete (Love sweet garnish) Princess Evangile W Happiness (base Princess Evangile didn't work) SakuSaku Grisaia Trilogy (Kajitsu, Meikyuu, Rakuen) I suppose that Retranslation patch for Konosora replaces game's executable file, as other Pulltop titles refused to run steamless.

Just to correct a slight (and common) misunderstanding: Steiner did work on Steins;Gate, but the lion's share of the translation was done by Blick Winkel. Also, the JAST release is very heavily edited versus the fan TL, to its benefit, which is in my experience the norm for when fan TLs get picked up for official release. The quality invariably rises because the people involved are more committed to it, and because more resources become available to the project, particularly on the QC and programming side, and often on the editing side. You certainly do see cases where the resulting official release of an acquired fan TL is bad... and in those cases, I tend to think the fan TL itself would likely have been even worse, though perhaps there are exceptions, where the project management of the official release is bungled or where certain licensing restrictions imposed by the Japanese license-holder tie the hands of the people responsible for the official release.

This kind of question is always tricky. "Do you mind if I turn on the TV?" "No." Which means "Yes, you can turn on the TV". The issue might be with 'care', which isn't often used like this. The meaning should be the same, more or less, though...

Koisuru Natsu no Last Resort English Translation Patch (by KoiRizo translation team) Summary "S-Senpai! There's... something... a promise I made. On this island... I need you to... t-to spend our time here as my boyfriend!" Soutarou just manages to pay his school fees by doing part-time jobs. After helping his junior Umi and skipping his shift, he was fired from his part-time job and was having problems making ends meet. Umi felt responsible for his present situation and introduced him to a part-time job at a Southern resort. With deep blue skies, clear seas and vibrant vegetation, the place looked exactly like in the travel magazines. Moreover, he was surrounded by many girls: energetic little sister-like Sango, affectionate tennen ojousama Riho, shy and earnest Shiori, and the kind but also strict manager Nagisa. Arriving at the resort, Umi turned to him and asked him to spend the time there as her boyfriend. Welcome to paradise! Ending Guideline / Suggested Route Order There are five heroines: Umi, Shiori, Riho, Sango, and Nagisa. Nagisa's route is unlocked upon completing at least one route. A bonus "3P" route will be accessible on the main menu upon completing at least one route. Contains two H-scenes: one for Protagonist x Shiori x Sango, and another for Protagonist x Umi x Riho. My (planned) route order is Umi -> Shiori -> Riho -> Sango -> Nagisa, but feel free to go however you want!

No problem

Jacopo's actually a really decent / likeable guy in Requiem of Innocence, it makes no sense how he utterly fks up so bad in Fata Morgana other than the writers just demanded it. Kind of like how evil characters are evil for the sake of being evil, 'cept Jacopo ended up being a dumbass for the sake of being a dumbass Still slogging through, but uhhhhhhh i think i'm gonna take a break right here ~~ But yeah, the very long term conclusion b/w Jacopo and Morgana has to be the most tragic thing I've ever witnessed
