No, grow up, please.

Well I, like always, asked myself what I stood to gain. It didn't seem too much to me to drop 36 euros (40 dollars) as I'm a European "rich" bastard (currency exchange heh) for the digital game + soundtrack package. This game is probably gonna be pretty expensive when it releases, and Sol Press doesn't have cheap retail prices in the first place. So I figured I might as well contribute to their charade, and make the whole thing happen. I want to read the novel too. Even if it's in 2021-2022.

Currently playing Ponkotsu Akuma (really good nukige) and today I finally cleared Michiru's route from Chrono Clock, which felt like a true chore at the start and middle but that had a nice end.

You have to be trolling lol. First of all, there's not that many VNs published in English each year. Since 2012, and especially 2015 with Steam into the fray they have been mounting. But still you can clear them in some years, depending on how fast you read. Also I don't really think that just EVERY VN out there appeals to you, right? If you know Japanese the thing is different. Yes, there are bazillions of titles, but available? Not so many of them. There are lots of old ones that maybe you can't grab. Anyway, I'd suggest, either English or Japanese, to draw a schedule and stick to it. Yes, it sounds like a job, but there's no other way around it.

Can't remember if there was a Steam achievement for getting ALL bad endings. If you're not using Steam or don't care about achievements, avoid them. I overall liked the game quite a tad, though it was obviously very influenced by Ever 17 in particular. I loved all the gossip about radioactivity, and playing a rescue leader in a nuclear meltdown. The science wasn't that bad either, though the underlying setting is not that good ("BC"). Maybe better than what Uchikoshi did with Zero Time Dilemma.

Bestiality actually makes 0% of Subahibi, accurate.

I can buy the futanari as it's part of a sexual fantasy, but the bestiality? It wasn't supposed to be nowhere near fetish pandering. It was a disgusting scene and it conveyed that. Though in all honesty, the game dropped the scene and then didn't touch it in any significant way. In a way, Kimika's and Zakuro's abuse scenes where even more shocking. In fact I believe the H scenes in Subahibi serve as a tool to make the game spicier and more shocking. And if you delve into those yuri scenes between Yuki and Tsukasa, it can get disturbing if you've played the whole game. My point is, there's not much fap material in Subahibi really.

Most likely, nothing will happen, but at the very least they will sell all your data.

Well the VPN knows everything you do with it, so, your choice really. Like security professionals tend to say, "if the service is free, then the product is you". Also I don't believe it's a Russian thing, those sites also don't like Spanish IPs (and therefore, from inside the EU).

Yeah, it also seems to build upon Nekopara's success... Do you know if you have to get the 18+ patch separately? On Steam it's like 7 bucks now, so it makes a good quick grab...

Feels like a ripoff of Tenkiame... Joint release? I don't expect it to be very good, somehow...

Oh, I forgot Nekonyan is Jesus and we must worship them. No way, Sekai has done a lot more even if they're in a (big?) slump. I wish that Sekai makes a comeback.

There's a lot of animosity and even boycott against Sekai. Like Lesiak said, I don't see the benefit in them going under. I guess there are some people who will say, "they did shit work, they had it coming" but that's a rather extreme view. Anyway I've seen all kinds of things said against Sekai. I mean, if people boycott Sekai before Winged Cloud, they're pretty twisted. This reminds me a bit of the console war, and that's quite sad. Boycotting them because "they're a mess" will put the final nail on their coffin. Why not help them in their time of need if something they release appeals to you. No, we must send them to oblivion because they... Er... What they did again? I thought they were just another company, with their own misgivings.

You would like it, wouldn't you?

Yes, I recommend you to keep on going. Anyway, as soon as you hear "the best VN ever", you shouldn't be convinced. It's hard to live to those expectations. Let it be you who discovers if it's really the best or not. Only thing I can tell you, I'm reading Subahibi and I'm enjoying it. I see the game's charm. The best ever? Well, probably not, but close enough. Subahibi has its own merit. Maybe Dies Irae has it too. Hell, even I myself was skeptical towards Steins;Gate when I was reading through Dr. Nakabachi's conference. It seemed like otaku pandering, and the first contact with Okabe wasn't that smooth. Anyway in S;G you only have to push on a little and when the mysteries keep piling up, the thrill never lets up until the end.

Well, the vast majority of sex in VNs is heterosexual. I'm sure he didn't mean that homosexual sex is "not normal". So, homosexuality is a bit out of the norm, as far as VNs go.

It's all hype. Hype works with regular videogames, and it works with VNs. I'm still hyped by some VNs I've been awaiting since 2013... The likes of Kud Wafter, Amagami, 12 Riven... In the meantime I became hyped by lots more. I'm thinking of buying a big drive to house all my VNs and even eschew regular videogames for the most part. I'd only build APUs under this scheme. No point in paying big for a discrete GPU.

Wow, you've read them all! Why not venture into Oyari Ashito Littlewitch land? With (old) games like Quartett!, Period and Romanesque (here I chose the non-porn version) Though a number of routes in Period are very disappointing. The game has 8 heroines, in theory you won't be bored, but in reality you should expect some bogging down. Quartett! is nice, but it's short.

Ponkotsu Akuma and MML aren't the same genre. MML is more typical romance eroge, not downright nukige, and it reminded me a lot of Shuffle. Also the same slandering phenomenon happens with the game. "Hey, the games I play are superior to the games you play, your waifu lives under my waifu BLAH BLAH BLAH..." I haven't started Ponkotsu Akuma yet, I skimmed through it, but it seems much more oriented to sex, with an overabundance of scenes, and even sillier atmosphere than MML (if you were thinking that was impossible). Both games sport a high number of heroines, so at any rate each one gets a reduced amount of content. MML had a bit of drama with each heroine, some better, some worse (can't really be helped), but I guess that will be absent in Ponkotsu. Of course I don't rate MML as a nakige, but the presence of drama lands it comfortably in the land of regular moege. Still, I guess both games are far from shit. I'm sure there are much worse offenders than Ponkotsu Akuma in the field of nukige. And what to say of the last frontier, NTR.

That's the same slander Shuffle! suffered. Old habits die hard. MML is just fast food as far as VN go, but what it does it does reasonably well within its boundaries. I dunno about Ponkotsu Akuma, but maybe nukige aren't really your thing, pal, if you go asking deep stories and charismatic characters out of them. Why not expect a cheerful, playful, horny atmosphere? You can always play Subahibi, I guess... By the way, who the fuck is "Mona"??

Also I think that ISLAND fits the bill, a highly awaited VN that finally got translated last year, I haven't played it yet though, so proceed at your own risk. Oh, and of course Steins;Gate, it will blow your mind, guaranteed, how could no one mention it. -_-

There's Nanairo Reincarnation coming from Sekai, for example. As uchuujin proved, Sekai releasing few games might be just an illusion.

I don't think there's any real use for Condoleeza Rice.

That's FAKE NEWS. Win 10 is more modern software and updated periodically, so even if you lose some (obsolete) capabilities, it's the most safe and sound version yet. Do a trip around some youtube channels about gaming and PC tinkering and everyone uses Win 10, are you possibly smarter than them?
