Y'all be fuckin' with the wrong guy 'bout his best girl, lemme tell ya. I realize you don't get her route because it's deep and the only way you ever achieve any depth yourselves is when you bury your heads up your collective arses, but that's no excuse to be faggots and treat her like someone legit trash tier. Please, save that for Nico. Now for some appropriate pictures for the occasion: (alright, bandwidth is a thing) Also, this one might be fun to shop www

For what it's worth, switching to text mode in the fuwa editor lets you get the bbcode all ready to plug in later in case of sudden data loss. I personally didn't have old blog posts saved or anything, so that's a bit rip lol

2 hours 30 mins now, wee. Anyway, I'll prolly be there but dinner is a thing so might have to be antisocial & eat by the computer (not unusual) or take a break for that. -
Bro, just 88 ain't gonna close to cut it. We have people capable of reaching that in a day. ...though I guess if you really manage to do that in even the locked boards, I suppose that is an achievement

Oh well, seems like all we can do is enjoy the trip back in time. Think of how many shitposts we got rid of in one stroke!

What happened

An artirst searching a colaboration or information.
Zakamutt replied to Yasu's topic in Creative Corner
I'd say faces are a bit derp, otherwise p. good though. When it comes to changing out the art for a VN, it depends a lot on how it's made, which engine it uses, etc. In the best case it might be as easy as swapping files, but it could get hard quick. -
A lot of this stuff is going to be even more outdated now considering I wrote it six days ago, but I want this up somewhere. And so, enjoy muh zakabox, divorced of vntays.

First I saw of this article was someone dissing the headline on Twitter, since it's apparently hardly the first yurige aimed at women in Fapan; an example brought up later was Flowers, which was advertised beside otomege/BL stuff it seems. The yuri genre being aimed at women a lot of the time felt weird to me when I first heard about it, but facts are facts w. The actual game looks interesting, at least.

Well, here's a copy of the patch I've got. Hopefully this is not against the rules: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7ZBY2nieMPiYzM5UW4yY0o5dVE/view?usp=sharing That said, to get a good install up you might want more than just this - there's lots of tweaking to be done if you feel like it. I've PMed you with some other interesting stuff.

I’d say the rain in France makes my donger dance, but the truth is, we’ve had fuck all on this trip. The overcast sky and tiny droplets hitting me at the moment are threatening a deluge, but they’ve barked without bite for like an hour now already. I sit here wrapped in wafts of petrichor, […] View the full article

Recently, I think Sekai Project has been done much more promo than JAST / MG / whatever, probably partly thanks to their all-ages profile. Do note that SP's CEO dovac was only minorly involved in the School Days translation by his own account, as an image editor (that said, other new!SP founding members were also in the old SP afaik.) Whether or not the official JAST release changed much I don't know, though it's quite possible. However, SP are standing on the shoulders on if not giants, then at least some pretty hardy dwarves. Steam is probably the biggest game-changer at the moment, even just as a discovery service (I believe Doddler has said that sales on their main site may well increase as people find the link to the uncensored version on the steam page, even if actual Steam sales are modest). I suppose that would make the organisation Valve, but I'm not sure if I want to pick that. Before that, we probably saw a decent influx from good old Katawa Shoujo (lord knows I'm part of that group). Don't think we want to pick 4LS though. On the official release front, if they propped up MG as you say, not to mention providing the seed for SP's creation, then JAST/jlist is probably a good candidate. 4ch was, far as I know, the hangout of the hardcore crowd at the start. You could wonder if fan tl would get started much in the first place if there was nowhere weeb to gather. That said there are other places such as Hongfire/Ero-jiji/Anime-sharing, the old and now dead gemot (that ones' probably a spawn of 4ch though), maybe some of the animay listing sites etc for people to gather (not sure where or when Otome/BL forums like Aarinfantasy come into this). VNDB was a major factor in me finding new VN translation patches (sort by rating was my jam fora while), and also how I found Fuwanovel (I think, can't remember). That said, what persuaded me to look up Katawa Shoujo in the first place was probably TvTropes of all places, where I also saw much about CLANNAD. VNDB definitely has had an effect in helping people find more visual novels after their first brush with the medium. It's a decent candidate. More facetiously perhaps, what inspired yorhel to create vndb in the first place was Hirameki's translation of Ever17. Could they count? All in all, the promotion of VNs in the West was spread between quite a few parties, from the original message boards spawning fan tls, to the official localizers, to more localized promoters at certain points in time. I don't think any message/image board was really indispensable, but both vndb and JAST are quite unique. JAST, and later SP, have likely been most important on the official loc front - JAST was there first though. With that said, if this is about doing the most to promote, then surely SP wins for their wide promotion through Kickstarters and press, not to mention getting so many VNs on Steam. VNDB is technically replaceable, if imperfectly, by word-of-mouth. I hesitate to call it the most important. All in all I don't think localized VNs would have taken off without fan translation though, so we should look for the most important point, if there is one, for fan translation if we can. This is problematic, though -- do we pick now-dead Novelnews/Gemot? TLWiki? I think the "movement" is too decentralized to pick a single site here. ...alright, that was a silly amount of unconcentrated deliberation, let's try to get to a conclusion. I'm going to pick Sekai Project here, but not without serious reservations. I think they might have done the most total PR-wise, but so much came before that, beginning with the fan translation movement - some of these cannot really be considered an organization, or did less promo but were nevertheless very important for further developments. If I was to pick in order of importance instead, I might put fan translation and weeb communities first, JAST second, and vndb third. I just don't have any data on Fuwa to know how much of an impact we have - I definitely think we've had some, but I'm not sure we've done that much. We're definitely poised to be the center of the newer JVN community though.

Basic problem is dad's kind of fickle in picking precise dates, mostly based on the weather forecast (it kinda makes sense since we're very dependent on it while camping because tent.) My guess is that it'll be more possible when we're on our way back, around ~ 4 August or something perhaps (at some point we will probably stop close to Travemünde), but very likely it'll be too difficult to coordinate. Essentially the hard deadline is our return trip, which we set at 6 August dad thinks but isn't quite sure, wow. I wouldn't want you to go out of your way and miss us anyway, and my parents sound pretty dubious. If you're still willing to try, having your phone # would help since I'm much more likely to be able to send texts than IMs reliably. Kinda miserable since you're p. much at the top of my want-to-meet-list, lol. Ironically I found p. much everyone on my potential list through asking them, though I did use the blog post as a quick way of filling them in. Probably got as many people as reasonable at the moment (who we may or may not be able to meet because circumstances), though you're still welcome to talk to me about it. Anywaysies, we leave in two hours for a grueling 8-hour car ride to our ferry. We'll see how things pan out after that I would also like to note that I now have a palindromic number of posts; 2442 to be precise for any future visitors. This is an important fact.
