Narcosis

Frontwing just made me lose that tiny bit of respect left I somehow still had for them.

AAHAHAHAH

Uh... buy a server or use dropbox? We already have a topic to post pics and funny stuff.

I'd rather replace my 750ti with 1050ti when it's out, rather than buy Switch. It's a really interesting and nice console, but as some people mentioned above - it's most vital factors will be both performance and battery life. Low price and lack of possibility to replace/upgrade usually means low battery life and for a handheld/console hybrid sporting hardware capable to run modern games without cutting on the edges... let's just say I'm not that enthusiastic.

The inner masochist in me is ready

Not hyped. That tweet was fun, though.

Swan Song, Eden, Narcissu, Wind, True Remembrance, Clannad (jk, watch animu instead), Dandelion girl, Planetarian... amongst few.

Never played this one, but now I'll definitely give it a shot. Kinda reminds me of Sexy Parodius

They most propably used the wrong pronunciation for kanji that made up the name. If a name doesn't use hiragana, you should almost always use the chinese spelling. Kanji compounds should be read that way, otherwise silly mistakes are bound to happen.

Liking something doesn't instantly cross out objectivism. It's mostly people's fault for their inability to treat things differently on case by case basis, i.e. instantly pidgeonholing everything according to a single mindset.

Seems like Sorami Kanbara. It's a kanji compound, so the spelling should be onyomi. Other approaches are more or less incorrect in this case and results they bear don't make much sense, either. If you want to know more, there's a preety neat article that covers it all.

The fact most people can't take any sort of criticism and take offense instead? Let's start from here. That's correct.

I already lost all hope

Be careful what you wish for

Jesus Christ, this whole topic makes me cringe. I'm amused and bewildered people nowadays have nothing better to do than sit on the internet for hours and provoke various people and groups while constantly circlejerking, whilst there's almost nothing to gain and even less of an effect on their lives. Therefore, why care so much? You want to change how things work? Start a petition. Organize to fight against common misconceptions. Form your own distributing company and affect the world. Make good games. Shittalking and flamewars on the internet accomplish literally NOTHING. Goddamn. I never thought I'll live to that day, when I will see so much drama in visual novel and eroge industries. It's almost amusing.

Anyone partying hard in the current event? I collected 300 acorns. Wanted to do another 4x Expert and moment after choosing the song, I accidentally swiped with my finger to the far left only to open the touch menu and accidentally close the game... in that instant, 45 minutes and 2 loveca went down the drain. GG Samsung, for creating one of the best smartphones with one of the most unintuitive and annoying front panels, ever. edit: Playing LLSIF while drunk is soo raddddddd

Either Yurirei or Flowers, both for a good start. If you don't mind a story which has both, Katahane is a great game, too.

You can see certain patterns clearly repeating. For all I care, there's russian military gathering at the Ukraine's eastern borders. We don't know what might happen next; might be just a show off, preparation or gods know what Russia has in mind this time. People love to look for convinient excuses to justify needless bloodshed; few hundred years ago it was trade, then slavery. The First World War erupted from the most absurd accident ever. You had struggles for power, oil and now it's mostly politics and worldwide agendas. I guess climate changes will be next on the list.

Keep this shit off Fuwanovel, please. "World order", my ass.

At least they tried

You'd be surprised. There's quite a lot of good nukige out there and by "good" I don't necesarilly mean "ultra fappable h-scenes". They are actually good stories, too!

No idea what are you even arguing about. The game's without the adult content, but lack of said content doesn't exclude nudity, partial or otherwise, nor mature references. They are simply walking along whatever the guidelines on Steam to release their game. I'm sure we'll get an 18+ patch preety soon. They clearly see the potential in Steam as a digital distribution platform for their games and there's a huge market for such vn's here.

I'd object, but let's keep the topic civil

It's literally tragic a six minute long multinational OAV instantly beats anything this anime season has to offer, both in terms of storytelling and overall quality. You propably got it wrong. The man in the movie is actually the girl's dad, who's propably either a high-ranked scientist or engineer, working on some sort of an international research program. We don't really know that much, but what we can guess is that a large celestial body is on a collision course with Earth and our planet is most propably doomed (it's worth to note, it's not an entirely impossible case for real life, although highly unlikely to happen). It is possible, the incoming "end of the world" might have been caused by the said research. It is possible, it's just an accident. Eitherway, knowing about the impending future (or more like, lack of thereof), dad builds a tiny micro-shuttle to save his daughter and finally, launches her into space. The shuttle is actually a highly advanced preservation chamber equipped with life support systems; the girl is in comatose. In order to sustain her mind, the implemented artificial system supports the heroine, giving her consciousness a place where she can dwell. In order to minimize stress, the girl had been given a virtual reality, she can freely control and alter, along with all the data and information about our planet, stored within the system's memory. Now comes the best part - at one point, an image she creates most propably triggers an effect of remembrance, which causes her to regain a part of her memories. This most propably forces the system to finally run a special program, in order to reveal information about her past - some sort of a message - which was prepared by her dad. With that, she's finally able to remember everything. In the end, she's able to read the very last message, which was left by her dad. The message is as follows: From what we know from the synopsis, the girl is 17. We can guess, judging from information left by the movie, she was more or less 7, when her dad sent her off into space. This means... 10 years had passed with her living within the simulation. But there's one more thing - the system shows messenger haven't got new messages since 2578 days. When you do the math, it means slightly more than 7 years passed since the last message. But isn't she actually 10 years in space? Of course. This more or less means that she WAS receiving mail for the next three years after the launch. Most propably, before Earth finally collided with the celestial body, or more scientifically - the distance grew so big, contact was finally lost. She's not giving up. Even if she truly has no actual choice, she's at peace. It's because she knows her dad was and is with her. Always in her heart. This gives her strength to carry on. Where? We don't know. It's highly possible the events told in the movie are similiar to those from Soshite Ashita no Sekai yori. It most propably didn't happen overnight. People knew it will happen, hence the peacefully deceptive, cosy atmosphere shown in the girl's past. In the last attempt to leave something behind - or perhaps a pitiful attempt to save the mankind - she's chosen to be launched into space. She's the next generation Voyager; a time capsule, telling a sad tale of a tiny civilization, which lost against the unimaginable powers of the universe. A truly tragic and bittersweet, yet preety description of humanity's willpower to carry on.
