To be fair, I like Katawa Shoujo. And not just because you bang cripple girls.

It's just a by-product of the ridiculous "if it's Japanese, it's automatically better!" mentality. Wait, are you saying that not all Japanese things are better? Mind.... BLOWN!

Some press is better than no press at all? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ They say there's no such thing as bad PR. I don't completely subscribe to that but sometimes if something gets panned really hard it has the affect of people wanting to read it just to see how bad it really is. Heck, I may get Sakura Santa just for that purpose. I'll probably buy it from Mangagamer if I do, so I'd probably get a Steam key for it. But if I give away the Steam key, I can't collect the cards...

CONFESSION: I use you guys in lieu of an actual social life. I really do. The internet has made certain things easier. When you find people you share things in common with and can socialize in some way, such as message boards about Japanese porno games stories, you tend to use it as a surrogate friendship. Heck, I actually got married because of CrossGen's boards way back in the day. So, I love you guys.

Clearly only games with the word "Fate" at the beginning, unles it's Fate Skaura Highschool. Then we're screwed.

Nothing wrong with the thought but that's the thing - you can hire editors to clean up the language and make it readable, but you still need to get the writers to make better stories. That's what I'll be looking for from future titles under this alliance.

Personally? False. Though if you go by transitive property one could claim my wife owning one means I own one. So Falsetrue? And bonus points for the European Kickball line. Next person still uses an mp3 player for music instead of their phone.

I haven't run into any alien heroines in VNs. In fact, the only alien I've encountered is the one in HunniePop... and she pretty much acts like the other girls in that game.

Sakura games taught me girls can lose all their clothes and find themselves tangled in a controller cable when they trip and fall. Realism/10 Sakura Angels taught me that girls always get changed at the same time, at the same speed and if you time it right, you will walk in on all girls in their underwear, in sexy "remove all our underwear" poses.

Swim Club. I also did the editing for the Mangagamer version of that release. I'm hoping they release more of the 18+ material. WC's art has always been a strong point throughout the titles. I think they added the 18+ content to the original after Mangagamer joined in a partnership with White Cloud (it was originally an all-ages on Steam as I recall). And yes, while the stories tend to be lacking I can't dispute that the artwork I've seen is strong.
-
The only enjoyment I will get out of the game is me laughing uncontrollably at the poor grammar. But I am curious what Santa looks like naked when genderbended. I think you'll be disappointed on both ends. It appears they've got a competent editing staff now thanks to Mangagamer's editing resources, so the Engrish will probably be minimal at best. And since it's an All-Ages title, while you may get a butt scene (I recall that much from the one title I read) you won't be getting full-on nude Santababe.

Maybe Mangagamer helped with the script... and maybe I drank a pint of bleach and didn't go to the hospital...

Do you have a source for that by any chance? It's not that I don't want to believe you, I'm just hesitant to accept it given their current relationship. I can see how they'd turn against him since he's in a position against Hillary though. Also, would the DNC support his campaign as senator even though he's been independent? Wouldn't they want to have people from their own party in that position? I'll have to hunt it down, but take into account that was almost 10 years ago in the 2006 election cycle. (in which then-Senator Obama championed him as well - http://mic.com/articles/122011/watch-young-senator-barack-obama-campaign-for-bernie-sanders-in-2006#.pPFCtFPOD) In the primary Sanders ran as a Democrat and then did not accept the nomination and ran as an Independent in the general election, something he'd done in Congressional elections. So really, is he an "Independent" if he goes through the trouble of running in primaries as an Democrat? It's pretty simple, really. He wins the Democratic nomination, doesn't accept it, leaving the Democrats with no nominee on the ballot, and he runs as an Independent, leaving no Democrat to split his votes. Why would the Democrats accept Sanders? Because he's pretty much a Democrat anyway, he votes with them, caucuses with them, even runs as one in primaries. The guy might come across as genuine about his policy beliefs, but make no mistake - he's a career politician who clearly has played nice with the Democratic Party for a couple decades, and to be honest, why wouldn't he? He HAD to play nice with them - they're the closest party to his political beliefs/agenda. It's a nice thought that an Independent would go into Washington and shake things up, the reality is if he went there truly as an Independent, he'd have few allies, no committee assignments, no backing for his Vermont projects and would basically be a very, VERY lonely Representative/Senator. That's not to say he's a horrible choice or anything, but the idea that he's some rogue independent candidate is a misnomer at best. Okay, I get it now. What you're saying does make sense to me, and I've done some extra reading on the net to confirm a little bit of what you're telling me. Granted, I couldn't find specific evidence to further reinforce your statement (I'm not that good at finding accurate information on politics), but I pulled in some general information from his position in the Democratic Party to come a solid conclusion from this article. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2015/08/27/no-bernie-sanders-still-isnt-going-to-run-as-an-independent/ This definitely won't dissuade me from voting for him. I may see Sanders in a somewhat different light now, but, in my opinion, it's not worth taking issue with. I still agree with his policies, and still think that we need a man like him to lead our country. You know, out of the many political arguments I've had with people I know on Facebook, this one has been far more productive than any of them. I really appreciate that. You know, I've tried curry for the 1st time from a Chinese delivery place called China Moon. Oh man, it had a great balance of spiciness and flavor and I fell in love with curry. Haven't had any chances to try it again, but I will once I have a little more money. Aw, I'm not here to dissuade anyone from voting for Sanders, as I've said while I may not agree with him entirely, he is the most genuine candidate out there, which I can respect. His potential rift with the Democrats now stems from him stealing the thunder of their chosen candidate, one Ms. Clinton. And once you understand how Washington politics is done, it makes sense as to why Bernie has done as he has - sadly, with the two-party system our country seems addicted to, the independent politician is going to have a hard time on a national stage if he gets into an office where one has to play with the other two parties. Congress and Senate being those two places. The last real independent I can think of would by Jesse Ventura as governor of Minnesota. But as that's a position where you're the one and only guy, you don't have to play nice if you don't want to. Sanders would have to have allied with the party closest to his stances to survive and get anything he wants done. It's not really something to hold against him, but it does sort of take away from the Independent thing. Probably not enough to matter, though, as I just don't see the DNC backing him over Clinton. I'm here. I'm reading chapter 8 now. I got dragged out shopping way longer than I wanted to, today.

Make sure to take the choices involving cold Pepsi Max every chance you get. Like, if the choice is "Give him a cold Pepsi Max" or "Drink the cold Pepsi Max in front of his face and laugh" you might not want to click option two if you're going for the flags. Introducing waifus helps, too. I'm the onii-chan they always wanted but never had, and I have enough love to spread to all of them. I'm going to say centaur because you can ride them in more ways than one. This looks like a loli question. I'm going with the older one. Nashe-kun, you are GENIUS! With your cooking skills, not only will we feed our army, but the by-product can be used to subdue our enemies! Japan will love us! I could never hurt onee-chan! Don't ask about the other two, they left me in a route that leads only to a bad end.

So THAT'S what "trap" means... I feel enlightened and cheated all in one fell swoop. Ah life! I suppose this is why the save option with lots of slots was invented. I can always go back and choose the path with the actual girls. Would I complete the not-girl route? Well, if it unlocks other things I suppose I have no choice, but my guess is I won't enjoy it very much.

Sounds like, by way of transitive property, as I like Indian curry and I like Thai curry, I'd probably like Japanese curry as well.

Confession: I don't know the difference between Japanese curry and Indian curry.

Confession: I live in the US and I don't understand this article. Then again I don't follow politics and haven't registered to vote either of the two times I've legally been allowed too. Heh, my aunt had trouble figuring it out too. There's a bit more to it, but this image pretty much covers the gist of what happened. If nothing else, at least vote for Bernie Sanders. He's the only presidential candidate with an authentic character, and has an amazing track record to boot. He's been a strong advocate for the middle class, racial equality, military veterans, and the environment. Most importantly, he's the only candidate that spends more time talking about the issues our country faces than about himself and his proposals are very consistent with his past views (he doesn't change his mind in order to appeal to majority). He's not an establishment politician either; his success is entirely derived from how much support he gets from regular people. From what I understand, Vermont is very happy to have him as their senator. Hidden Content While I agree that Sanders is the most authentic of the candidates, the guy is pretty firmly rooted in the political establishment. He served two terms as Mayor of Burlington in the 80's then naturally moved right into the US House of Representatives in 1991 through 2007, when he became a US Senator. Not to mention when he first ran for Senate he received support from the Head of the DNC itself, which assured him of running unopposed within the party. There's more than one way to be within the establishment besides big money. Still, he's a better choice than Clinton.

False. Good thing I don't play poker with any of you, so I don't mind revealing that little weakness. Next person loves ice hockey.

<br ></li>discussion Gaokao Love 100Days any good? opinions?
Valmore replied to DarkZedge's topic in Visual Novel Talk
It's really more of a hybrid date simulator/visual novel. I got it when it was on sale last month but I haven't made a lot of headway. The main problem I can see cropping up is it'll probably get tedious doing the same thing every day waiting for events to pop up. Sunrider Academy is much the same way. -
You don't have to be, no. Though it is difficult in an increasingly-materialistic society, in which he who has the most toys has the most access, you don't have to give in to greed. Some say it's a choice and you choose to be happy. I'm not sure if I agree with it completely, but having a generally positive attitude does tend to help. And waifus. Lots of waifus.

The Spirit of Giving
Valmore commented on Valmore's blog entry in The Better Than Bad It's Good Blog
I'm shocked, are you asking me to introduce noObs to Privateer UTor Rent of Privateer's Cove? That was another concern as well - the giving out of one's address, which makes physical copies unrealistic.
