A language will be amazing help for anything later on. Stick to it, for your own personal development, if not for playing all the porn games.

Woah, thanks a whole bunch! Should not have opened that spoiler though. (my fault.) I'll check those tags, thanks.

I just didn't want any VNs to be disqualified just because they have one or two childlike characters.

I'm looking for visual novels that have a predominantly adult-looking cast. So I want the cast to look different than your average high schooler bonanza. The genre does not matter.

do you sleep on your right side? If so, the extra blood gathering there would warm it and turn it red. Besides that all you can do is go to a doctor probably

Umineko is this pretty much (it picks up after the first episode and goes enough places to figuratively dwarf a space opera). Danganronpa also comes to mind. It's basically a series in which a group of prodigious high schoolers are forced to kill each other and get away with it. The games have "Class Trials", which are basically minigame segments where you go through evidence and testimonies with the other students and solve murder cases. It's over-the-top, it's bombastic, it's stylish, and it's amazing.

Did someone lowkey leak Maggot Baits' voice tracks? I approve of this reference.

This is great, thanks a whole bunch for the offer. I'd really love to see a drawing of Sora Akanegasaki from Ever17.

I don't really think that they'd be teasing the rest of Higurashi, seeing as it's already confirmed that the rest of Higurashi Hou is coming over.

I wish it'd be info for the rest of Higurashi but that probably ain't happening.

I was fine, cheery and all, this morning. I read fifty pages of Haruki Murakami's Norwegian Wood. I now feel like the loneliest person on Earth. Great book.

Apparently it changes small things about scenes, some examples:

Me at midnight: "Hell somehow forgot to play FFX between all the shitposting, might as well give it a go for a few minutes" It's 5a.m. right now. Fuck, I love this game.

Spoilers for all of the Zero Escape trilogy follow. Anyone who's been visiting Fuwanovel since at least 2015 must have seen my love for Zero Escape in one post or another, be it incoherent rambling at anything even tangentially related with Zero Escape, an introduction thread or any recommendations (before the subforum for it existed), or just some heartfelt (but probably hilariously pretentious from the outset) writeup on the series written for whatever reason. I talked about Zero Escape... a lot. I first came across 999 when I was about fourteen, and when VLR became my favorite video game and story ever in the February of 2014 (roughly a couple months after playing 999), I was utterly hooked. It led me to somehow find out about Ever17... which led me to Fuwanovel's torrent page for E17, which still existed at the time. There was a button linking to some forums on the upper right part of the page. I clicked it on a whim, and now you know what part of the website to blame for the roughly 4000 shitposts I have proliferated throughout good old Fuwa in three short years. But the easily excitable shitposter Funya's oh-so-dramatic backstory is a tale for another day. The gist is, Zero Escape captivated me during my formative years and shaped my interests, my tastes, my thoughts, my friends, and most importantly of all, my imagination. If you've ever fanboyed over something silly in your youth for months on end, you'd probably understand why exactly I was so hung up on VLR's cliffhanger ending (not to knock it, I felt that it was brilliant for explaining both what was going on and creating enough interesting plot threads to be magnificent material for a sequel). Day in and day out, I thought about who Phi could be, the identity of Brother and Left, and how exactly Radical-6 came to be. I posted about Zero Escape for sometimes hours on end. I actually started to actively use Twitter so that I could discuss Zero Escape more. I played more video games and got into visual novels, seeking to feel the captivation and catharsis I felt with this series once again. And feel that I did, from Tearaway to Thomas Was Alone to YU-NO, I found many amazing experiences. But Zero Escape was still number one. Come March 18th, 2015. Aksys posted a cryptic link to some website. 4infinity.co. Just 0-3-0-3 shown on a black background. As it turned out, it was counting months and weeks in base 4 (which means counting like this: 0,1,2,3,10,11,12, 13, 20... the countdown was counting down from 33), which meant that it'd take almost 4 months before we'd be seeing the reveal behind this teaser website. And those months were some of the most exciting times of my life, from the wildest bits of speculation to looking for anagrams in the words that started to pop up weekly to seeing the counter go down ever so slowly. And the vast majority was looking into this teaser to ascertain that it really could be the game we all were waiting for, Zero Escape 3. I'm pretty sure that the hype would die down long before the counter did for practically any other franchise. That's just how hyped much of the fanbase was for a new Zero Escape being a possibility. I spent a few hours every day just poring over discussion of the teaser, which was really barebones in retrospect (to the point where suspicion held well into the last weeks that there was an ARG we were missing). Zero Escape was on my mind even more than before. When Zero Escape 3 was revealed only with a single voiced line lifted from VLR and "ESCAPING SUMMER 2016" during Anime Expo '15, the stream for which NEVER worked and RPGSite gained 400 followers on Twitter in one night just for livetweeting the conference, practically everyone was ECSTATIC. Zero Escape 3 got into Twitter's worldwide trending topics and stayed there for several hours. Hell, go and rewatch the video of the moment of reveal released afterwards, the cheers (and Uchikoshi's wonderfully broken English pronunciation) still give me goosebumps. From there on, there was no holding back the hype train: By November, we got a name and logo confirmation; by March, we knew how the cast looked like; by April, we knew the setting and the new premise. By mid-July, first impressions were done rolling in but the people who preordered the watch edition the night the game was announced hadn't even seen their orders shipped. Not even the atrocious screens, the Fragment system, or the Teams from the Famitsu previews really managed to alert anyone to the steaming pile of infested dog shit that was about to be lobbed over the fanbase's heads. Reviews before release were promising, even the outlets who were not really known for liking VNs gave it quite positive reviews. Five stars flew around, one review claimed it was the best story in a video game. /v/ was crying out for someone to dump the 3DS copy for days on end and people were telling others to stop arguing since ZE3 was coming around after all and that was something beyond the usual 4chan drudgery. Some loved ZTD, but it slowly became apparent that the game was MAJORLY divisive overall. That's cause for worry in a franchise like ZE where the ones still hanging on were mostly people who loved the series with all their hearts. I played Zero Time Dilemma only by mid-August. It was the most insulting, most disappointing and the most infuriating game I have ever played. It still is. Fuck Zero Time Dilemma, fuck its dismissal of 999 and VLR, fuck its new characters, fuck its portrayal of old characters, fuck its atrocious presentation, fuck its terrible plot twists, fuck its cutscene format, fuck the Fragment system, fuck the Teams, fuck Delta, fuck its setting, fuck its backstory, fuck its endings, fuck its 90% recycled soundtrack, fuck its storylines, fuck its payoff, fuck its atmosphere, fuck how it retroactively ruins VLR. This is a sentence I dreaded I would have to type for over two and a half years. Fuck Zero Time Dilemma.

Okay. FFX impressions time. Oh btw, I didn't realize you were talking about the Jecht Shot on the ship lol, I pulled that one off and I do have that Tech apparently. Other Blitzball matches are a breeze.

Clocked 10 hours of FFX. NO spoiler tag on mobile right now :lolipb: So I'll post better impressions later, but I'm loving FFX so far.

Does it have any plot relevance? The Jecht Shot, I mean. Because you can't get me to play that first match of blitzball again.

Well, I ain't a lawyer so I don't know what *will* happen, but this is obviously a deliberate (and successful) attempt to cause harm. I don't see why that should not be punished by law.

So, finally finished that Dune reread, and I have to say that it is definitely in my Top 10 books now. Don't even want to read the rest of the saga though, both due to length and the fact that Dune itself feels very complete. I was planning on moving on to Murakami's Norwegian Wood, but I don't think that'll be happening just yet. Don't think I could move from Dune's sheer scale and might to Murakami's muted surrealism. Will read Ursula K. Le Guin's The Farthest Shore before that.

Remember11 counts. Counts so damn hard. I know there are people out there who say that the ending is fitting what the game's actually about, but I felt like it could've/should've been more cathartic, somehow.

Downloaded Final Fantasy X to my Vita on a whim (all hail HENkaku!). Thought I would get bored and drop it right back down. 3 hours in, and I somehow fell in love with the game despite the cringey cinematography at times and, well, Tidus. The music, the world, the characters, the combat all fell great and I love the religious themes being explored here. I love the prayer choreography, the hymn in temples, this game's CG cutscenes... Yuna performing The Sending was one of the most emotional scenes I've seen in a long time (up there with the likes of Transistor's beginning or FFVI's intro). Edit: Finished Transistor the other day. Beautiful, beautiful game. Bought N++ and Torment: Tides of Numenera yesterday, and both of those are amazing as well. Help meeeee edit the next day: Played three more hours of FFX. I'm hooked, I'm afraid ;_; P.S: Fuck blitzball, that one match was tough as shit!

FWIW, I think Witch Hunt were the ones to edit the Steam release's TL in the first place, so that's possibly why. I haven't compared UP with the Mangagamer release, though, so I can't say much about it.

Um guys sorry to burst your bubble but not everyone has read Clannad

It gets better. IT GETS EVEN BETTER.

Buckle the fuck up
