  2. o fuk now I have to do stuff other than crap on vns.
  3. Stream is over children. Thanks to those who came out to see Ren commit vocal suicide, Kata give up on life in general, and all of us learn a valuable lesson in dick parkinsons. Sakura Streams will return in the very near future, so stay tuned! And also, stay tuned for a special stream announcement in the next few days from a very original source. If you like to take a look at this 3 hour debacle of a stream, feel free to check out the video here. https://www.hitbox.tv/studio/solidbatman/videos

  7. Streaming shitty VNs used to be something of a specialty of mine.
  8. It came to Ren's attention the other day, during a butt clenchingly close game of Eldritch Horror, that no one has streamed a shitty VN in a long time. So we three decided to take up the task, and stream Winged Clouds highly esteemed visual novels, starting from the very beginning with Sakura Spirit! So join myself, OriginalRen, and Winged Cloud apologist Katatsumuri as we embark on the shiniest breast filled journey imaginable. Sakura Stream Monday, December 12 6:00 PM Eastern http://www.hitbox.tv/solidbatman
  9. Its best not to think about these sort of things
  10. Nearly everyone in the VN scene is freelance. So everyone works for everyone basically.
  11. Having fun with World of Final Fantasy and FFXV
  12. What the hell? The ending of the original was pretty conclusive.
  13. We're addressing the EVN thing. There is a metric fuck ton of them to sift through, but we are working on something to publicize them more. Should see it by mid December we hope.
  14. It should. This was done in house by Sekai Project from the ground up. First party title basically.
  15. Deplorable on both sides I'm afraid
  16. I think, to maybe phrase it better, is that many Trump supporters feel demonized by the left, simply because they don't agree with many policy proposals by the left. For example, I don't care for Bernie Sanders because of the effects his tax plan would have on my 401k (basically make it pointless for me to put any money into it). However, when voicing that opinion, I could find myself being told that I don't care about the poor, or that I don't care about college student loans (despite the fact I have about $8k in debt right now) etc etc. So to place that on the Trump v Clinton level. You get many of the progressive left calling out the more conservative whites as racists, and bigots. Why? Sure, racists exist on the right, and likely in higher numbers. But most people voting for Trump, I've seen, are not voting for him because of racial issues. They aren't voting for him because he plans to build a wall (the press would lead you to believe that is the only reason). Many of them voted for him because their voices are not being heard by the left. Being a rural, poor, white person essentially leaves you abandoned by politicians. The Democrats ignored them for years, focusing instead only on building a coalition of minorities to propel them to offices across the nation. It worked too, because you had a good person running the show with Obama, who I feel was not a great president, but also is not a terrible one. He did what he thought was best for the nation. Clinton on the other hand is perceived as corrupt, and uncaring by those poor rural whites. She only wants to pander to minorities and feminists in their eyes. They might not be right, but perception is everything, and she did almost nothing to counter that. Her husband recognized this and thats why many sources said he was very angry at Hillary's campaign staff. Bernie Sanders has also recognized it, saying that it was embarrassing for the Democrats to lose so badly with that demographic. Unfortunately, in the immediate aftermath of the election, many mainstream dems still have yet to figure this out, and continue to label Trump supporters as racists, bigots, misogynists, homophobic and so on. Unfairly demonizing the very people you need to rely on to win elections is well... not a winning plan by any stretch of the imagination. And before you try to label me a Trump supporter, I can't stand Donald Trump. He is a terrible human being, and a terrible choice for President, but I also recognize why he won, and how he won. And it needs to be a lesson that everyone's genuine problems should matter. Dismissing someone's problem because they are privileged is just as bad as telling someone they aren't human because they are transgendered, or are a criminal because of their race. It only serves to divide people up even more. I just want to dispel the notion that all Trump supporters voted for him to bring back Jim Crow laws, or to put BLM members in jail or whatever. Most of them voted for him, because no one else would listen to their voices, and their problems.
  17. The problem is, with the current set up, most states only have two providers, the government, or a single private company. The current law does not allow you to shop for healthcare with anyone outside of your state. So if I find that Aetna prices are cheaper across the border in South Carolina, I wouldnt be able to use them and I'm stuck with Blue Cross Blue Shield here in NC. So the private companies have almost no incentive to lower costs, especially since the gov't keeps increasing their cost.
  18. Generally, Americans do not trust their government, especially in the Southern US. They would rather see the states run the show on a local level, than a large federal government. So anything that gives the government more power, and say in their lives, they don't like. A fear of many people against universal healthcare, is the government telling them what they can and cant have treated, where they can and can't go, and eventually, what some have labeled, "death panels" where the terminally ill, mentally ill, or elderly are denied healthcare to save costs. You can laugh at that fear all you want, but, at least here in the southern US, we are taught to not trust the federal government, to work more on the state level. This argument, strong federal gov't vs. strong state gov't goes all the way back to 1783 when the government was being set up with the Articles of Confederation, and again in 1789 with the Constitution. The irony in all of this, is the fact that many of these people want the government to dictate lifestyles and keep the LGBT community chained down.
  19. I dont notice anything being broken, so obviously something major went wrong.
  20. The poor chaps from the countryside can't afford it as it is (ie. my family; I can only go to the doctor for emergencies because our insurance really wont pay for anything else). Democrats want to expand on it to hopefully fix it, but in many people's eyes, its unfixable, and they think expansion of it will make it more expensive for them. They aren't eager to be kicked out of hospitals, they are eager to not be paying most of their income on medical insurance, like it was before Obamacare. Only then, god forbid you have a pre-existing condition, or were a student. Over simplifying, or dismissing the concerns of those poor chaps is unhelpful, and part of the reason the Democrats lost the working class white vote.
  21. I'm a sucker for this sort of style. I can't quite put my finger on how to describe it as I'm no art major. Mel Kishida artwork is a good example of the style I love, and this sort of falls in line with that.
  22. Well damn, thats some fine art
  23. white people amirite?
