I'll add that white letters become easily visible, just for the sake of doing a PSA. RIP in pieces my secret texts. ):

The what? (ಠ_ಠ) Anyway, Zalor deserves it. Took me a while to finish this since I had to push some of the work to other people, though it only delayed me by a single day. i blame lino for being lazy (◕‿◕✿)

Hello everyone! Rose here, bringing you guys another member highlight. Today we'll be talking about someone who has been around for quite a while now but might not have caught your attention yet, even though he deserves it a lot. Zalor has been here for two years now, and while he doesn't have ten thousand posts nor three hundred threads created, he surely made the few ones under his belt count. Most recently, he proposed some interesting discussion topics that were also mentioned in our "Threads you should check out" list, so you might want to check them out. Now, as the title implies, he has done a few analyses that will be linked below, together with a small commentary about each of those. When it comes to VNs, a lot of people say that we lack some content that other fandoms have in amplitude, such as fanfictions, fanarts, well-though theories and articles in general, and that much is pretty much true. For that reason, people like Zalor are amazingly valuable to our community and his work deserves a lot of recognition, not only for being a content that we lack, but also for their admirably high quality. Unfortunately, as I haven't read Narcissu nor Kanon, I couldn't write something about those analyses but I reached out for people who did but had never read his works, so reading their thoughts was even better for me, and surely it'll also be like that for Zalor. "The greatest tribute you could pay an artist is to seriously think about their work" - Zalor Perspective in Saya no Uta (Link) "A fantastic analysis! From the well-crafted introduction to the relatively comical last line, Zalor delivers some nice thoughts about what could very well be one of the most complex and deep translated VN to date. Not only pointing the protagonist, he also shares insights about the perspectives of all the main cast on the many possible ways to see and understand the world built in the novel. I'd also like to give a quick shout-out to Plénitude, who made interesting observations and rethought Zalor's interpretations, adding a lot to the discussion." -Rose Kanon: Mai and Sayuri Analysis (Link) "It was a really good read, well thought out, good amount of detailed analysis without nitpicking or over analyzing, he drew parallels well and I personally liked the fact that while Mai is more focused in that route you agree with my assessment that Sayuri is by far the more tragic of the two heroines." -krill Narcissu and Death (Link) "Wonderful analysis of Narcissu. Just as the tale of Narcissu is a somber one, the analysis follows suit going into detail through the various interactions between the main character and Setsumi. A specific standout point would be the relation drawn between sensuality and death, which was particularly well thought-out. And finally, with a reference to the literary genius, Joesph Cambell, and a well structured conclusion, I found that our opinions agreed greatly. Narcissu truly is, as Zalor said, an 'uncensored portrayal of the complete hopelessness and isolation in facing death'." -LinovaA With this, I'm ending this recognition post. I hope you guys enjoyed it and that our brief comments were enough to get you guys interested in his works. Zalor brings a lot to our community and I hope to have the pleasure to read more of his analyses in the future. Keep up the amazing work, soldier. Your efforts are definitely appreciated!

It's risky. Who knows when some douchebag will pop out of nowhere near the end to ruin it.

Just have everyone bet on Suikashoujo for guaranteed points.

Yeah, I get wet when I'm touched in my legs or when a flirt is good in general.

One hour, two deaths and four alerts. You're legit. Snake would be proud. I played this first on my PS3 so I wasn't used to moving through the arrows, man that's hard.

Forgot to print but 7 SRs. Still a bit salty, though it could have been worst.

Gonna do the draws in around 5 mins. http://www.twitch.tv/rustyrose_

I'll be streaming my 4 10+1 draws later today, vote on your preferred streaming website pls. http://otonokizaka.org/showthread.php?tid=253&pid=3208#pid3208

Are you going to stream, make videos or simply blog about how it went? I'm also planning on playing them all again before PP, so I'm really interested.

What have I done?

If no one is able to help you, maybe you could try reddit. http://www.reddit.com/r/MysteryDungeon/ https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemon/

I had the same thought these days. I'll see what I can do about it.

On a side note, I don't feel like making a whole post just for this so I'll announce here that we'll be back with the usual recognition posts this week. I'm not going into details but everyone on the team had important things to take care of for a while, which led us into a semi-hiatus status of some sorts.

Update We're having a small update on the project. Since stuff like last week's"Interest in a Fuwa Gaming Club" thread and this week's "Discussion: Save repository" fit better in a feedback category rather than as a discussion, we'll be adding it to our posts from now on. We're still trying to figure everything out, since rather than infinitely theory-crafting, we're going through the trial and error route for now.

The following list only contains threads made from April 04 to April 11, any older thread will be placed under the "Updated" banner if new relevant content is added to it If you don't know how the list works, please check the project thread.

Please don't go on a "glutton" spree frequently. I enjoy eating healthily and I'd like to keep it that way. Seriously, don't get jealous and mad over small stuff. If you can't have a bit of faith in me then you shouldn't bother trying. Please allow me to tie you up. Please complain while I tie you up. ^ This guy is legit.
