"A digital book with pictures and music, and often a branching storyline." Hmm, too basic?

Wireless mouses are THE way to play (esp eroge for various reasons )
-
Kotori is my recommended first route actually (and my favorite chara route!). You might find Shizuru to be a letdown though .
-
Although Rin in KS can be hugely annoying, I’d still consider it a must read due to the quality of the story.Take that as you will
-
Damn it, stop making the story so good I want the next episode. Nice twist, the trope you used there at the end is pretty cool.
-
I also go for all routes unless it's something incredibly pointless and hard-to-get like Chaos;head's B ending. Pretty much the only thing I consider myself to have "finished" decently that I've only done half the endings for is School Days.

In a weak defense of sweden, the pictures have to be "realistic" - and thus triggering child rape or whatever the reasoning is - to be illegal according to a supreme court case (that manga guy. He was found innocent after having been convicted two times prior iirc.).

I can't really understand this so all I can say is I had no idea it was actually "konnichi wa".

Personally I would consider making no-ero the default option, I think that would make people feel better if they don't like ero. On the other hand, I really have no fucking clue and as I wrote that I became less sure of it already Oo. I can't think of many reasons, but maybe... 1. While the current demographics prefer ero in general, they may be trying to reach people who aren't currently reading vns. Good luck with no marketing... 2. Rapelay incident still messing things up even though the ero probably isn't that violent or anything. 3. Japanese are weird

Part of the reason I hated shitatori shiratori's route was that it was my first completed route. The mood whiplash compared to what I'd read so far was huge and I actually quit the vn altogether for a while out of RAGE. Now if I'd gone Tsubaki => Kanon => Shiratori, that might have been acceptable as a change of pace... Otherwise, it's been too long to say what my actual heroine preference was; my route preference was Haru>Kanon>Tsubaki>>>>Shiratori. Both Tsubaki and Kanon were worthwhile imo. Also you might want to spoiler that thing 'bout Kanon, Skeith.

I usually find it impossible to wait for the text speed I set, but if I set it higher it gets disorienting somehow. Basically I usually tend to click, and if the line drags on I click again to complete it. Maybe my reading speed actually accelerates/decelerates over time or something... That said if I'm tired enough to wait for slow auto it can be relaxing. In general though, part of what I like about VNs is that you can finely control the speed of content delivery. I'm a bit of a control freak, I guess...

Apart from really liking the harry potter books, they have a special significance for me as they were the first (big-ish) books I read in English. Basically I'd read the first two and really didnt want to wait for the T/L of the third to Swedish. I started out, by my parents' stipulations, at the first book again and read through it all. After that, I started reading as much as I could in english... which is probably part of why I use so many big words at times

What is the highest graphical VN currently translated?
Zakamutt replied to Kendjin's topic in Visual Novel Talk
As long as the vn actually maintains its aspect ratio, it's actually not that bad to have it sized up a bit. However, sometimes I really wish they had a setting to preserve the original window size but fullscreen it with black all around it in the middle of the screen. As for my graphic quality list... I'd say G-senjou no Maou wins out; that's one of the 800x600 vns though afaik. Analogue: a Hate Story also had pretty good graphics (that said most of it was interface anyway, but the sprites were really good) and was sharp even at 1920x1200. Honorable mention goes to Symphonic Rain, which was also 800x600 but had a really unique and pretty artstyle. -
Why hello there! This thread shall be my blog, and shall both be an opportunity to sesquipedalianize my writing and detail the trials and tribulations of the Supah Challenge. A week-something ago I realized that the challenge had potential. After some wavering, and a frenzied but ultimately unsuccessful search for the sixth edition RtK 1 online, I decided I would be a cool bro and scan it for upload... oh, and it could be cool to actually use too, so I bought it online like a boss. After waiting merely a week for its arrival, I set to my schedule: I would study at 22.00 each day for around an hour. I chose to do 34 kanji a day, as the first and second lesson combined had that many kanji. Previous experience include learning all the kana from Ixrec's guide (using mnemonics that aren't completely different from stories, in a way - み was midget, incidentally), and a few Kanji/compounds learnt from radical lookups and similar. On the first day, my workload was comparatively light; I had the advantages of knowing near all the lesson 1 kanji, and the lesson 2 kanji were very easy to remember in general. The only real issue was me writing stuff at the wrong sizes and orientations, which got unacceptably out of hand. However, that just meant doing it again while reviewing, so it was mostly alright. On the second day, god five mouths / nose over/between eye slept. Yes, I was tired as fuck all day and actually fell asleep laptop on chest at around ten. While I was tired as fuck, I did decide to at least review some old kanji. Which turned out to be a massive 4. Today, I woke up at 7am, feeling just as tired as the last day. This malaise slowly subsided, and at around 15.00 I managed to get 34 new kanji in as planned (I ws not at all sure I'd be in working condition at 22.00). I note that this took quite a long time as I experienced it, but not unbearably so. I also did this with a significant amount of auditory and other distractions around me for part of it, which was not the best thing to happen ever. Getting these kanji in was significantly more difficult; some of the stories were somewhat... lacking - some I constructed my own stories for, I think. With all that said, I still remember everything after some Anki usage, as far as I can tell. The Anki deck seems to be slightly off; post a bill (a kanji which had a pretty difficult story, but I spent enough time obsessing over that I'll probably remember it anyway) did not appear and two kanji that I weren't at yet did. That said, those kanji (deca...what the hell ten days and ladle) had extremely easy stories, and I just memorized them quickly. We'll see if I continue a slightly more haphazard way of scheduling my learning at this point until I feel confident I won't be messed up at 22.00 or not, and whether it will work. On day five, I will probably also experiment with using multiple learning sessions per day - this likely has its disadvantages, but will increase my speed (I'll aim for 50 a day, probably). Motivation: medium. Able to resume after 1 day of no new kanji. Able to survive despite using a different time. 34 kanji per day workable. Well, this might well work out for me! I am mildly surprised.

funfact: ~50% of female characters in wow have males playing them! http://www.nickyee.c...ives/001369.php And those men you speak of must be incredibly innocent

I need a female name for female characters in games Given that my default gender for characters is female when I can, it's quite a useful thing to have.

Just tried to play ep 1 using an asus memopad 10. At first it required me to update chrome... so i did. After that, the game loaded fine... except I can't press login for whateer reason, making the whole thing rather difficult. Probably an issue with the framework unhack is running in not playing nice with touch input...
-
Various things to note: first of all, if you wish to go it alone the hint corners are useful, and probably enough. Second, could mention that side stories are selected from a UI element and (mostly) unrelated to the main story - though admittedly this is quite easy to see in the interface itself. Third, the only ero I saw was in the Flower of Thanatos sidestory, in case you're interested in avoiding it (the story content in that one is debatable as well). I didn't quite see all scenes though, so take that with a grain of salt.

Long ago my name was Zoma, which... I'm not even sure how I came up with it. It's pronounced approx ソウマ, however there should be a z at the start preferably. Later... I was making up character names for this old, old MMORPG called Jerrath. My original character, a shaman, was of course Zoma. However, I wanted more characters of course. I created what I think was a thief with the name of "Zaka 0_0". "Sucka" might have been related. That was not all, however! Later on, a new class (I think) came around, called Miners! Miners looked a bit shabby / covered with coal dust. I wished to use the Zaka- stem... "mangy dog"... Zakamutt! So yes you should fellate a canine. Otherwise, my go-to female name is Salita, which I made for a Secret of Mana 2 character when I played it emulated a long time ago. Apparently it's not necessarily female, and there's this boxer called Dmitry Salita... But hey, I like it.

You may or may not have noticed me whine over there not being any pirateable sixth edition RtK1 on the nets on TS, but anyway one buy and like a week later the book has finally arrived at my doorstep. I've read through the introduction so far and will probably check through the 15 introductory kanji. Main studying will be set to 22.00 after medicine administration, though. This is the one habit I have to do every day, and I should get it down better anyway. I look forward to my blog post on the third day, as I have a tendency to write long and rambly...

There's an urban legend in town that has recently resurfaced about a strange man. He //wears a grey hat, but his face is incredibly difficult to remember//. The man is very pleasant, but when you part with him you will invariably realize your pockets have been picked, with //white stones// placed there instead. It's said that he only appears during //whenever your vn is timewise// for some reason. Who could this man be, if he's not just a legend? //extra flexible//

Alright. * Suddenly getting thrown into a strange dimension where the hallway or road you're on repeats without end, unable to escape until some random thing you do lets you. * A mysterious forest allegedly filled with monsters. * A conspiracy to regulate people with superpowers... I promise these are all original

Military Action Battlecall of Dutyfield 4 I don't think I have to describe this. I've already played it and prolly wont play it more though. Using a pirated working version, ofc

I'm about to start Hoshimemo now. Apart from the video files issue, which I'll probably be entertained by solving if it comes up, Steve says there aren't any tricky things about route preference or stuff to mess with me. Excellent! And a good change from Aoishiro...
