  1. I'll catch you dead after keeping you on the run for long enough Jokes aside no, I never turn off BGM. I usually set it to significantly lower than the original volume setting though while mostly leaving the voices and sfx high.
  2. Personally, I would much prefer the title 999: 9 things, 9 days, 9 colors
  3. I recommend using the private messaging feature to contact narcosis instead of typing here.
  4. Sora? Nah. There might be other stuff, but I'd rather be vague about that. I wouldn't worry about it too much, really.
  5. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ rip you, I guess.
  6. Huh, that's weird. I can't remember having any problems with it... you can try to go back and do all the choices to max her flags right from the start I guess, though you've probably tried that already. I used this guide personally; it's not exactly well-organized but the only spoilers should be choice names more or less and it lists the points for very choice. Otherwise, idk, I don't into mobile interpreters.
  7. Definitely rewatch CureA w/ epilogue, then Izumi route.
  8. The "append" function is accessed from the main window of the application when running it normally. I have no idea how it works, if it even does, with an interpreter. As for which Cure ending to do first, I think either first is fine as long as you see both, but if pressed I'd say go for B first then A (I think viewing A 2 times is recommended as well for uhh, reasons). If you can't get to the append story with your phone and decide to use your pc to read that last bit, you can PM me if you want an easy-to-use version. The Append Story part doesn't require you to make any progress in the main game, but I remember there were some annoying things you had to do when patching never7.
  9. From what I remember... Yuka Cure is something you get from the append function (you'll know if you're doing it because its annoying and you cant save); "cure" itself in the order you provided is actually split into a and b endings.
  10. The problem with mindless praise is that it is ineffective at making creators' works better as it does not point out what made the work good in the first place. I imagine Narcosis, an aspiring salty vn writer, is also thinking about the "hugbox" effect that exists in certain places to shield creators from any criticism - considering there is or at least was at some point a specific badge to put in your profile if you want honest criticism of your work at Lemmasoft, it's not like his fears are entirely unwarranted. It's a p. decent mirror with the problem of mindless bashing not helping you make your work better by pointing out what was bad. It's not like either has no information content; one tells you to stop making things in your current fashion, another tells you to continue in similar fashion. However, they would appear suboptimal from a creator's perspective. Outside of a creator's perspective, mindlessness on either side does not promote thoughtful discussion or trying to understand people that think different to you, and instead encourages forming groups around liking or not liking something. This is certainly one way of enjoying fiction, but not everyone appreciates it very much - not to mention polarization is where nuance, oh sweet nuance, goes right out the picture. We could use less of it, wherever we are.
  11. @narc Considering the post argues that "undue" is a vacuous concept when it comes to opinion, quoting the dictionary ain't going to get you very far. Mindless bashing and mindless praise both seem like they have damaging effects to me. It is possible that you are more thick-skinned than average and the current attitudes are not good for people less so.
  12. But what if you don't want to have no conversation, but just want to look cool to your likeminded buddies, whoever they may be? Then giving reasons for your opinion would be an inefficient strategy because people might like things for other reasons than you do, so you'd be different. Uncool! Clearly the best option is to shit on things as vaguely as possible so you don't have to justify yourself, because god knows you're neither confident enough to logically defend your opinion nor bothered enough to actually articulate it in such a fashion. #sheeple (I disagree with you on underrated, though you have a point as I have seen it used both ways in a way that is somewhat above the barber's estimation. Perhaps he is using a more society-wide estimate, while we are using something biased by like 2-3 popular topics in the community created by people with poor diction?)
  13. With so many ?????? in the message, I would recommend switching to Japanese system locale if you haven't already and double-checking you did it right if you have. With that said, I'm not sure if that's the cause of the error as they usually don't look like that when it's a system locale problem. If worst comes to worst, try to ctrl-skip past the line that gives you the error.
  14. Your picture has been removed from imgur.
  15. I have a lot of trouble getting started on things. One area in particular that has been consistently difficult for me is going places – work, school, the store to buy muh colas before they close for the night, that sort of thing. I have recently discovered and begun formalizing a technique which seems to help with it. However, it is creepy, because it involves partially dissociating your mind from what your body is doing. Today I fashioned for it a shitty chuuni chant: there is strength in emptiness: Automaton! To be honest, I’m half hoping the chant doesn’t work as a switch-flipper, considering how terrible it is. My apologies, O chuuni gods. It begun one day when I was lying around, trapped in a familiar sensation where I seemed unable to will myself to any action, enmeshed in repetitive and irrelevant thought and generally getting nowhere important. I felt out of touch with the world, like there were no thread connecting me to this plane – indeed, was the world even real? A seductive call beckoned. Perhaps I should try something I had done piecewise before, but never so deliberately, so completely – could I give my estranged body over to an imagined automaton, let the automaton collect the knick-knacks and tie the shoelaces and lock the doors and ride the elevators, and take back control once I needed to once again be human? The attempt was a resounding, if alarming, success. My body proceeded to smoothly go to work, while I, dissociated, observed that I probably tie my shoelaces faster and more efficiently when I’m doing it on autopilot. In the end I spontaneously reintegrated over time without having to force it, which was a relief – one time I was at the store and borely (and likely boneheadedly) started practicing the mindfulness concept of framing your thoughts as things you are having rather than facts that are; while it didn’t really elucidate much, I did find myself unable to easily exit the frame, which was honestly a bit unchill. I have used the automaton takeover concept like, two times after that, and it really does seem to work. It’s not just mindlessly doing things on autopilot either – the disconnect ensures that you have actual thinking time while carrying out business, and is the prime difference between this and pure distracted flow. To use this technique you should probably be somewhat comfortable with feelings of derealization. The good news is that these correlate with depression, and I swear half of you fuckers want to kill yourselves, so it’s vaguely plausible that someone else might have had a similar experience. I do wonder if I have accidentally stumbled upon and formalized a Normie Technique(tm) that nobody told me about, but the fact that I’m worried that someone with psych issues will try it and end up being unable to return to united reality or fucked up in general does bolster me somewhat. Uhh, be careful trying this at home, I guess. My personal motivation was that I was pretty derealized already, so making things more formal wasn’t really going to be that much of a problem. If you find yourself able to convincingly make that argument, this method may be worth trying. View the full article
  16. Seriously though, how do people even eat from hard-shell tacos? I don't understand, it's a one-way ticket to awkward spill city. Now a tortilla on the other hand...
  17. I guess I'm bored today. Everyday Life Woman Doctor Calico [cat] Siamese [cat] Persian [cat] Let Your Guard Down Tap tap tap tap [the sound of running feet... well, probably paws here] either "Tired..." or "Again and again" [goddamn fapanese onomatopoeia] Mischief Everyday Life II Disaster Despair Prayer Zaka's Best Girl [translated the ??????? for you as well ]
  18. Pic is 0/10, Riki doesn't have cat ears and the others do! WHATEVER HAPPENED TO CONSISTENCY IN ART, EH? Welcome back though!
  19. No, you're all wrong. His name's Gouda.
  20. Look, if you're going to go that far, why not go old school?
  21. Title could be longer tbh, you're losing your touch ...more seriously that sucks I guess, but I really don't give much of a shit about physicals so I can't relate. I probably would feel more sympathy if your post wasn't so blatantly sensationalistic. You know you've taken a wrong turn somewhere when you're actually going above sanahtlig level, and he can actually sort of handle it.

    I got a cast-off figure

    disgusting, kys also ms
  23. The fact that the boss of overdrive is actually in a band might have helped with making their music scenes better; not sure how involved he was with the actual production, though.
  24. Kanade's is the second high effort route in the game; Rimu's and Yayoi's are more bonus afterthoughts. Not so sure about skipping it tbh (it was my fave, but I'm weird).
