Fucken' took you long enough Congratz and all that jazz 'n shizzle
-
As much as I love actually reading manga, I'll take digital anytime It's more convenient, easier in more ways than just one, they're more defined and colorful, actually easier for me, as I've been reading pdfs, epubs, and whatnots for a much longer time than manga, which I started 3-4 years ago, so I don't have those attachments to paper and pages, as well as I much prefer the way manga-pages move on digital platforms. Of course, I see the appeal of physicals, but I've not cared about physicals for a long time, on many different alterations. Digital shizzle is more suited for me

Whew, I thought you had forgotten about me for a second there. Congratz and welcome to the 4-digit club

It actually took a while to distort the original picture to what you see in front of you -

Alright, I have some excellent news this week. Our long lost TLC from over half a month back, Fukukaze, has finally returned back to us. This is great news, and he will be TLC’ing the new, secret project. As for the progress, I’m just going to quote my editor on this: So, there’s not that much progress like normal, but still progress nontheless. Anyways, about the secret project, 10 more days until the reveal. Time sure does fly. The team’s pretty much picked, so there’s no need for a recruitement phase this time around. I’ll leave you with this picture. I’ll applaud you if you guess it right.

Happy fuckyallImalittlebitmorefamoosenow milestone How is it that you've been getting more snarky as of late? I don't hate it at all, but why? No, it's more of a coonsistent thing all those who reach 1k do; you get an ability to change your title by 1) being in the mod staff, 2) posting a finished walkthrough on the site, or 3) getting to 500 posts -
Happy cake day, @Mugi Here's to another year of pure, unadulterated, only question threads
-
Another question thread, aye, Mugi? That being said, the original Ratchet & Clank remastered is available for PS4, and I strongly recommend it, as a person who enjoyed the original one in PS2 to bits and loved the remastered version even more

Steam wasn't designed to be a platform for books, or any of that sort in the first place, so the normal gamers -- which Steam audience is mostly comprised of -- will, of course, complain about the prices of VNs: how they can cost up to the same amount as some AAA-titles, how they're "just books with pretty pictures and occasional animay tiddies", and how 'weeb' it is to the majority. This much is a given. As for VNs getting into Steam, that's wonderful, in my opinion. That means that more Japanese devs get interested in the Western market, which in return, means more games get localized and more regular, English-only speaking VN audience gets to read more, and sometimes, better VNs. If you think this is "bad", it is extremely counter-productive, and you come off as a total and utter dickbag. In the first place, Western VNs are starting to find their own direction instead of copying regular VNs, so the "muh eltist VNs are SO much better"-argument really doesn't hold the same weight to it anymore, sounds really ignorant, or just plain stupid in the first place. They aren't copying off regular VNs, they're co-existing with them, as a separate thing entirely. And to top it all off, that kind of mindset is extremely close-minded and old-fashioned. You cherry-pick information, like with the Western VNs having the ONLY bad games in the first place, but we both know that's far from the truth, and that double-standardising is quite hard to look at. Hard-copies are a subjective matter, so for someone, like myself, who doesn't care about physical copies, that argument is completely worthless, and VNs are akin to games in that matter that they're intellectual property made to be sold; if someone doesn't want to pay the amount it costs due to personal reasons -- like no H-scenes, it costs too much, or that it's just too short -- they can, and it won't make them any less deserving of "playing VNs". The frame of mind that Japanese VNs are superior in every shape and form, and that Western VNs can't adapt and evolve, always staying as the scum of the earth, is the kind of conservative, elitist mindset that is extremely cancerous and doesn't help anyone; change is ever-present, you can't hide from it, and completely shutting it off comes off as extremely asinine. If you really want to stay as that ignorant Japanese-only elitist, go to 4chan, they might welcome you.

How about you trying to do my work for me if you don't enjoy that I procrastinate with memes?
-
Way more than you'd think, but procrastinating for memes is still procrastinating for memes
-
I want it because if I don't find something better to do ASAP, I'll just end up browsing internet for memes like I always do when I'm bored, and no one wants that Have a qt 3.14
