This is usually the right one: With that said the text in your fles might be encrypted, in which case you need the help of a hacker (I don't have time to check atm), or use some other encoding.

What are you reading? Untranslated edition
Zakamutt replied to Funnerific's topic in Visual Novel Talk
I read a bit more of hatsusaku, then I realized that I wasn't being enough of a stallfagging hipster so I picked up スキトキメキトキス instead. It's p. nice, if I finish I'll prolly write a new vndb description for it. Something like... "I love you, but it seems I hate you too..." After a haunting dream, an amnesiac Kurenai Akina wakes up in hospital to see a girl staring straight into her eyes, and is seized by an unspeakable fear. The girl's very presence repulses and frightens her, and yet her sweet perfume brings back a strange, conflicting love all the same. Akina must come to terms with her emotions as she recovers her memories piece by piece, and any misstep may cost her her life... Idk, it doesn't technically really get into the themes of it in a way, but I'm not sure how to do that without spoiling too much. Not that it's deep or anything. It's just some creepy fun (´・ω・`) -
Winged Cloud Announces ‘Sakura Sellout’
Zakamutt replied to InvertMouse's topic in Visual Novel Talk
every time someone posts an anime maru article seeming like they did not realize its true nature, I die a little more inside. I have precious little left. I suppose it helps me fit in with everyone else. Meow. -

To be honest, while maybe worse or similar in accuracy, hoshimemo's fan tl still had significantly better flow than the impression I'm getting from some of the libra lines. Doesn't mean it was especially good either, though. I do think the new hoshimemo tl is highly unlikely to be worse than the current one.

Libra of the Vampire Princess - Releasing May 16th, 2017
Zakamutt replied to exaccuss's topic in Visual Novel Talk
Wrong? nah mon. Regarding the targeting though, part of it was because Atlus had a reputation for good translations - people kinda expect NISA to be shit a lot of the time, this was not the case with Atlus. -

Note that the game derg linked doesn't seem to have an English patch. The only shinigami-related thing I know that does would be Shinikiss, though that doesn't seem to be what you're looking for, lol.

Infinite stall works: jp edition

Still better than bakabutt tbh w -
In honor of having finished reading Stargazer in Fapanese today, I figure I’d give you an idea of how I can simultaneously have read quite a bit of vn writing in Japanese yet also only have completed two short yuri doujins (my first was 明日終わる世界、その前夜). A lot of things here were sorta read in parallel with other things, which might not have helped (´・ω・`). I started out with Amairo Islenauts; I got quite far into Masaki’s route, then stalled that ’cause I kinda didn’t want to read the drama or something. Much later I decided to go back and read a bit of Yune’s route… and that’s where we’re at now. Stalled. I started reading Air in Fapanese as none of the two translations available impressed me; I knew Winter Confetti’s had taken flak for inaccuracy, and the start of Gao Gao’s patch felt worse than Winter Confetti’s on the editing and flow front, not to mention I was told it would be technically inferior to the Winter Confetti patch as the MC would be unvoiced for certain sections. I kinda got discouraged by the choice maze though and eventually stalled it because frankly it wasn’t that interesting. Angel Beats -1st beat-… Honestly if it wasn’t for a bug and/or sneaky copy protection measure I might have read more of this; I spent quite a long time with it and eventually got to like the second or third map location select, which didn’t work for some reason. Also you can’t transfer saves to other computers apparently, fucking rip. I might pick this up again, maybe even reading it together with the forthcoming English translation so I can shit on VA fucking it up like we all expect they will (´・ω・`). Watashi no Real wa Juujitsu Shisugiteiru, or watajuu for short, was a really entertaining otomege that I’d recommend to everyone. Ultimately though after reading two routes I stopped midway through the otouto route because… well I didn’t like it as much, choices in-route confused and enraged me for some reason, and given how long the knife of unforgettable betrayal had been twisted at that point, I started reading… …Subahibi. I liked it a lot when it was a yuri harem, then I kinda liked it when it was denpa but it got harder to read and I stalled it about when a certain train arrived. Then Kiririri eventually wore down my defenses, and I picked up Hatsuyuki Sakura. One of the better decisions of my life, as it’s consistently entertaining and seems well written both prosewise and plotwise. Finished the rather long “prologue” section, read a little bit of the “introduction”, stalled. Maybe I’ll pick it up again now though after finishing 11eyes and Stargazer. I also read a bit of Zannen na Ane to no Love Comedy somewhere in there, but I think I’ll want to be able to power through silly SoL faster to not die reading it. Apart from that, I have like 20 minutes of …in white left or something, but I started reading that looking for short doujin vns to tl, so idk man ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. View the full article

What are you reading? Untranslated edition
Zakamutt replied to Funnerific's topic in Visual Novel Talk
Finished Stargazer-少女は星の夢を見る-. It's pretty... okay if you can take some feels and like yuri. More importantly though, this is the first VN I have actually completed in Japanese that's not 明日終わる世界、その前夜, and frankly that one is less than 500 lines in total. A single route plus the common of watajuu is probably longer than Stargazer still, and I finished two of those, but... just let me have this, okay? w I guess maybe I should continue Hatsusaku now... maybe finishing off In White before that so I get more random doujinge under my belt, lol. -
As a counterpoint to your part on parallel structures, the first example smells a lot like an unrefined rhetorical figure: the tricolon - the easiest example of those might be "I came, I saw, I conquered." In the words of Mark Forsyth in The Elements of Eloquence: "Tricolons sound great if the third thing is longer." I kinda feel like you're either riding a bit hard on the parallel structure part, or not explaining it in enough depth - here's a rewrite that plays with the rhythm of it in a different fashion: She's got good grades, great looks, and she's very popular among the students. I kinda cheated with the italics changing the meaning, not to mention removing "all" which might be significant as well, but hey I'm trying to prove a point not be useful ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Point is, I make sure to stress very to (imperfectly, sadly) mimic the initial stress structure of each third of the sentence. ...With that said, rhetorical figures are often employed to make things memorable or stand out, which is not necessarily your aim at all times.

I mean, how heavy stones are we throwing anyway? This is just a topic memeing about a low-status release, it's not like we don't have others like that already for, say, sonicomi, or nympho sensei ryoko, or please bang my wife, et cetera. Taking it too seriously is probably a mistake. I will admit that in my mental map everyone knows what Decay wrote about moenovel's previous, fairly inoffensive release of divinity stage - the tl work is better though nothing special, and it's not spectacular in any way otherwise - or at least I'm too damn lazy to inform them.

We hate on Sakura, we hate on this. Both are targeting the ecchi-loving weeb demographic and do pointedly not include hardcore pornography; I see no real hypocrisy involved. With that said, certainly this is preferable to their first effort. It just isn't anything I care about or would read. I also dont care about Chrono Clock, lol.

Regretfully, no. Though at least Moenovel isn't shitting up stuff with actual quality to it these days w
