Since it's the only device available to me (it's actually my mum's), I use a 10inch tablet. Can't thumb that, so I use mah middle fingers with it on a flat surface pretty much. Using more than those two is something I've tried but I'm unlikely to do it seriously unless I hit some much harder stuff or like, an A-D alternating sequence. Super success is 1.5x, ultra is 2.0x exp. Surprised you didn't notice this already w.

I generally dislike stamina restores because I don't really have trouble completing stuff. Maybe that will change when EX stuff actually rolls out, though.

Game, of course. Who watches anime anyway? Now I'm really sad. What could have been, eh...

I'm sort of disappointed Rin doesn't do her (da) nya thing more often, it's just too infrequent to truly achieve a decent catgirl effect

TIMES THAT COULD ACTUALLY FIT ME? WHAT IS THIS SORCERY

"just" 28 usd...

Terminology resource: http://visual-novels-general.wikia.com/wiki/Japanese_Terminology Da Capo is an oft-cited example.

I generally avoid moege, not because I hate it but because other stuff is just more attractive. I think "oh after this vn I'll read a moege to calm down" but I never do w. What's currently a talking point, or highly rated in general, influences my choices quite a lot; so does more personal recommendations. I tend to enjoy highly rated VNs - even if I don't fully agree with stated opinions, they are generally upper tier - and it's quite possible the hype factor causes me to value them higher. Being influenced in this way isn't really all that bad - why would I not want to have a better time? ~ Reading popular VNs also has the advantage of giving you common ground to discuss with other people. I consider this a significant advantage. I avoid utsuge; I haven't really read many of them at this point. but the concept is somewhat offputting. Well, I did like Actual Sunlight. Art doesn't matter too much too me, and it saddens me to see many people pass on gems like Tsukihime et cetera for that reason (I suppose the remake might change their mind in 2030). Good art does attract me, but not really that much. Otherwise, there's always second opinions - I/O's style was admittedly offputting at first, but I got used to it by the end and actually liked it. I've also found that a lot of the work that makes a novel shine to me - like Higurashi's expressive sprite movements - aren't really reflected well in still images anyway. Anyway, story quality is my #1 priority.

gdi, always 1xgood for 僕らは今の中で (#maximumweeaboo). Otherwise I've gone on an s ranking spree, only the blue songs are hard due to no blue SR. Nice amount of rares with the FP, even checked if you can upgrade skills if you sacrifice differently named characters with the same skill name. Not all that worth it though as the upgrade did more or less diddly squat w. Gotten a few friends with UR (well, one red). Put my main formation as SR smile Honoka's, because everyone's gonna have a green SR after the event. Min-maxing: making you keep a char with annoying voice samples around instead of your cutie Hanayo.

Symphonic Rain (deep characters, insert songs galore with masterful lyric foreshadowing, certain p. cool plot elements, excellent if hard rhythm game, everyone should read it - also I recommend the fuwan release due to the difficulty of doing it on your own) Read SR before Rewrite and get serious hipster cred, Rewrite is too mainstream Kira Kira Deardrops

same name, also pref same level or its not 100%. read wiki

With my teams getting close to all-rare, I'm finally S-ranking a decent lot of songs. The new songs are fun to play, might be able to FC the smile one soon enough (there's one thing I don't understand the timing of yet, so I get 1xgood usually). I've actually idolized equestrian girl already, but I'm too busy full-bonding rares and shit to get to that mission yet. Maybe I'll even be able to sacrifice rares to boost up skills at this rate, lol.

yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

^ Ironically you talk down MG and talk up Sekai Project... but this is first and foremost a Sekai Project title w I also wonder if KnS2 / Cartagra are not decent titles, but I suppose your opinion might differ on this point. I do think it's amusing with their nukige stuff, but hey, marketing.

no, 10 makis, counting idolizations as 2 makis

I counted and apparently I have an effective 10 Makis counting idolizations. Only 2 nicos though #fuckloadsofmakifaction

You can pre-order this for pennies (well, depending on where you live $7.46 might not be) from mangagamer right now (will include steam key and be drm-free, they said.)

Kinda depends on Nozomi-chan's base Pure stat. Check the difference between a fully leveled idolized Ru Tatara and how much more pure nozomi will gain through 20 levels (20 levels is probably probably 260 Pure). That said you're also losing appeals so there's that.... on the other hand, what are you playing for if you don't idolize for them cute side stories? Do you really want to be that kind of min-maxer?

With my 50 gem scout today I got smile honoka as my guaranteed SR.. I think (or was it hanayo? gdi jp names id like hanayo more). Other than that I can happily report that I am in the #allgirlsfaction which is nice. So many idolizations today~ I also got one of the new normal scoutables, some 1790 smile girl. Wtb another for idogems.

Anything but the default skin feels wrong and less readable; found this option long ago.

If you nerd enough and log in every day love gems just accrue from random bonuses and shit... is how I think it happened. I'm not sure if the URs there were actually limited time availability / comparative ubiquity URs.

Well, I have 48 gems right now and will get at least two more when the event rewards finally get to me. The whole 10+1 draw giving guaranteed SR sure came at the right time... ending at #2002 for event song score ranking was a bit meh though. Do the event UR disappear???? First of all, they are SRs god damn it. Second, they are available, but have a very low drop chance compared to other SRs or something iirc (at least, so the text says).

Backed~ I liked the first ep enough for this it be a pretty worthwhile investment. It's interesting to see them able to raise so much cash this quickly, though with the "digital signature" thing I think a decent amount of people might lower their pledges. Also they called 20 dollars tier "early bird" but they didn't limit the amount of backers for it. weird.

Happy to help, really. That said, no need to stop here if people want to keep posting their quotes; the focus on more witticisms and introspective stuff made this thread interesting. Could edit the OP to say you're not personally looking for more now, though.

yups. read the wikis~
