I remember reading (and subsequently reviewing) this a while ago - one of those hidden indie VN gems, really. I personally feel a bit... weirded out by upscales, but I can understand that an upscale done with a well-suited algorithm at no time limit might look better than whatever your GPU will give you. As for Mimei, I had never heard of it before, and therein lies at least part of your answer

>he plays as a catcher ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) On a slightly less shitposty note, did you try the clannad sidestories? I've heard that their system is terrible w/ forced autoplay and no saves or sth, but I guess the actual content might be good.

where's your avatar from and why is it shit ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

^ Don't forget that Rewrite is a Key game. Just the company name alone got me hyped way back when tbh

obviously, whoever did it would have to turn the gun on themselves for the finale if they had posted in the thread. Thus, it will never truly be over... rip indeed

Just shoot everyone who posted in the thread tbh. That way there's no subjectivity, only death

Key is very popular yet still has some serious weaknesses, that's why it's got so many haters coming out of the woodwork here. You're pretty much never alone, though I never did find someone to circlejerk with about why Taarradhin sucks so there is that.

Humans play games, and morals tend to be about human-human interactions. It would be silly for them not to apply in some form. Fairness tends to be very important to humans; here's an experiment on the subject where people will willingly turn down gain to themselves merely to stop a person perceived as unfair getting anything. Stream sniping is playing unfair because it is not following the usual rules of the game. Agreeing to a trade then not following through on the terms is unfair. Raiding a party in-game is a supported game mechanic; the game's rules, which you accept when you start playing it (well... okay, maybe not everyone), allow it from the very beginning. Immoral acts in online games are due to lack of physical presence and anonymity - no feels, no consequences. Now... would you mind if I roll need?

OMGWTFOTL is a 5/10 Visual Novel. It has some great memes, yes, but overall it isn't all that impressive. IMHO it's a bit too random to be all that funny.

What can I say... I learnt from the best

I was about to report this to the mods, but then you... all of a sudden... At this point, all that's left to say are...... ellipses............

For the love of love, stop typing stuff in Word or other themes or whatever you are doing

Brass Restoration. I was not expecting half as funny, varied in route topics, and generally at least somewhat unconventional as what I got. I stalled the very last route forever simply because I hated the thought of reading through what a character was about to do to themselves, lol.

It doesn't matter to the consumer. People understandably have different standards based on where they live.

Holy colors, batman. Okay, this is most likely actually readable to you since your monitor is probably using a high color temperature, but I personally use f.lux at the lowest color temperature I can get. The text is basically unreadable without highlighting it. Anyway, I actually thought that "?!" was the standard rather than opinions being split. I definitely agree with you in your usage recommendations, though; there are so many !? I'd have preferred to be ?! in various translations... I must also add that "interro" comes first in "interrobang", and thus it clearly makes more sense for the question mark to be first as well.

>they cost this much in Fapan etc etc ...but they're being sold outside fapan now, so that doesn't matter because who gives a shit about the way the fapanese do things. I still think the price is fair, but your argument is flawed.

Learning a foreign language will never be easy, but there are certainly ways of making it easier. When it comes to Japanese, there are two main recommended resources for the VN community: the Genki textbooks, and Tae Kim's guide to Japanese grammar. In this thread, I'll be talking about the latter, and some of the problems and advantages to learning with it. Oh, and the actual reason for this thread: it doesn't have a lot of exercises for repetition. While you can get by through just reading the guide and kinda fuzzily remembering where to look up concepts when you encounter them, I know people who had serious trouble learning much since it would just slip their mind. The exercises could potentially help these people out a lot, but I think they could benefit most people that don't have reals good memory faculties. It'll also feel nostalgic for >20-year-old neets who enjoyed school, a demographic that may or may not be overrepresented in the VN fandom. I may be projecting. Tae Kim, as you'll hear the guide called, is not without its flaws. However, its pure focus on grammar drew me to it far more than the Genki series of textbooks which has a more general approach. Also, you can get it without either paying for or pirating it, which may be relevant to some of you. Here's a sample of some stuff I actually wrote to help my own studies this one time when I really wanted to tryhard whilst studying: If it seems a bit barebones that's because it is; nicking some exercises from Imabi might be viable, though that's even more #effort and the guy who wrote the (somewhat overly inclusive) Imabi lessons might object. I wouldn't really care about that, but I'm sure some of you will. However, I think it's quite possible to write more general questions on the grammar concepts present in Tae Kim. Do feel free to post any complaints below; after all, I'm very open to any suggestion that work may not be required of me. I'm pretty bad at following through with anything requiring effort (actually writing this thing would take like an hour or more per lesson for me. I could be reading VNs or translating porn or something during that time!), so me actually completing this kind of project is extremely unlikely. With that said, it's 5am here and I felt like writing this shit anyway, so why the hell not? Maybe I'll spark something. With that said... Does there already exist something like this (for Tae Kim specifically)? There's not much point in making something that already exists, though obviously my version would be better because I'm super good at everything :makina:. Oh, and would you actually use it? Kinda pointless otherwise. Replies to Anticipated Responses [Things actually relevant to the thread] Can't actually think of anything, but I'm passable at the fine art of editing my own posts. [Shitposts] Well, as long as they're quality shitposts... [Shitposts by FSJPG circlejerk] シットポーストに逢うてはシットポーストを切る。多分。かもしれない。その。。。うち。。。に。。。。。。。 ^let the Fapanese memes flow through you [Unrelated questions as to why I'm great] I have an Ask.fm account gathering dust; you can find it linked in my signature. Ask me about why Utena is 5/10! Since you're never going to write this anyways, what can I use to learn in the meantime? I'm looking for a bit more meat than what you've linked already. A somewhat relevant post is literally stickied in this very forum section. Why'd you use "Fapanese" up there? I've been forcing this meme (that I made!) for so long that it's become part of my idio(t)lect. I even made some other people start using it. You should, too! I'm completely uninterested in this subject but your writing mesmerised me and I must have more! Read my VNTS commentaries on the Fuwazette. When I write them, that is; I didn't do anything for this last one as of 22/06. Also, I hope using that date format triggered some of you USians. tl;dr I felt like writing an overly long post about the need for exercises for Tae Kim's guide to Japanese grammar and asked whether anyone would be interested in having some written, and whether there would be a point to doing so. This is the result.

I think y'all mean hirigana.

Rewrite immediately sprung to mind. It's pretty. ...why is this in Chatter?

okay, now that's just going too far.

So VN's are just porn game's right?

Translation quality doesn't matter.

Ur all filthy hippocrates.
