havoc

loz, that to 128 exabyte......GET ME ONE OF THOSE PLEASE.

Planetarian episode 5, the feels. Dispite having read the and knowing what was going to happen vn it still hit hard. I even kind of hoped they would go for a alternative end, and possibly expand on the story and the world. The world seems quite interesting after al, and a travelling planetarium would give plenty of time to explore it.

just finished brighter than the dawning blue, had a lot of fun reading it. And enjoyed it a lot more than koiken otome, probably has to do with the difference between their energy levels. Currently back to playing seinakura, but i find the gameplay getting tedious. Is there anyway to cheat my way through the gameplay?

Not even going to argue with this :). My education probably also has a lot to do with it, you get learned to think in a certain way. (Well drilled in is a better way to describe it) When you don't understand something its not scary, its interesting. Look at things from a outsiders perspective, after all a outsider also has to understand your thesis. (to a certain degree anyway) And there is no such things as a problem, only a challenge and a solution. You learn to think twice before you do something, so that shit does not hit the fan. (Warning, does not always works as advertised, results may vary) You learn to remain calm when shit does hit the fan, and trust me it does. (Good example was a class mate you tipped over a 1 litre beaker with used chromic acid, i worked in the same fume hood and was luckily already done with my experiment) (clean up was not funny) You learn to slow down when you notice you start working to fast due to haste in order to prevent mistakes, better to be slightly late than way to late because you had to start over from scratch) And above all you learn that it is better to be lazy than hard working, as a lazy scientist is a good scientist. (still need to work hard when necessary) And i have worked with things take scare the shit out of me, PAK's, chromic acid, and a boat load of hydrofluoric acid. And i have been genuinly scared of working with HF, and carrying 25 litre jerry cans around always made me feel uneasy as did pumping it over into a 5 litre one. But it has to be done and so long as you think before you act things are not likely to go wrong. So my education probably has a lot to do with how i see things these days, and why character like Subaru piss me off so much.

Making mistakes is indeed very human, except his mistakes were easily avoidable if he just stopped, paused, took a deep breath and thought about what the fuck he was actually doing. And another problem with Subaru i have, is that he is portrayed as some random youth when clearly he is not. He is a NEET and a utter failure, that is not your yoe average youth. Now this is more a problem with anime in general yoe average characters done right are very and i mean very rare. Anime male leads ten to be either utter incompetent, geniuses or not incompetent but dense as uranium or clumsy as all hell. He would be average if he was your average student studying for his chemistry, biology, programming, mechanical engineering bachelor or something similar. (any decent respectable study, dont need no hippie hippie shake) And that does not mean he has to be socially competent in order to do any of those things just have a sense of responsibility. Heck I'm socially awkward and pretty bad to, but i managed to get my bachelor in chemistry. About the only two examples of decent yoe average characters getting into something similar would be Rock from black lagoon and Linn Jinto from banner of the stars. Granted the situation Linn Jinto was in from his youth was not exactly yoe average but his character is. He is described by the book as follows, this Linn Jinto isn't that bad of a guy. He is not a great hero, nor a cruel villain. No, he is more like a comet hurling it's way trough space with no control over its destination, blazing from its proximity to a fixed star, sometimes pulled by the gravitational fields of particularly malevolent planets. So he basically has no control what so ever, but has come to terms with his situation . This is something Subaru has never done until episode 18 and he should have and could have done by the end of the second arc. After all he knew everything he knows now and has had the time to come to a understanding.

He does not need to convince them completely only string together a story good enough that they will choose to be safe rather then sorry. Once events unfold the can then slowly earn their trust by rinsing and repeating. And he really stands nothing to gain by explaining his powers, there is no one who will believe such a story. He would be far better off explaining his fore knowledge by pretending to come from the future, a distant country or a alternate dimension. Seeing as there is quite a lot of magic in that world it would be more believable and more importantly he stands to gain a lot from it, not necessarily in sympathy or trust but in language and writing and other necessary skills. Also explaining before he had earned the trust from at least two persons or one very important person is senseless because no one would believe him if he did. First make them suspect something is going on and then explain. And the sad thing is he had the trust of Emilia basically handed to him on a golden platter in the first arc and the screwed it up, by not letting her save him from the three stooges.

Who said he had to convince them he came from a alternate dimension? A far away country with advanced technology would be enough. All he has to do is convince them there is a reason to listen to him, he has no reason to speak the complete truth. Like i said, all he needs to do is come up with a story that is good enough for to get them to listen to him for a while. Even if they still have dome doubts they can be removed by proving that he speaks the truth. If they later find out his original story was not the whole truth, he has already proven that what he says is correct so it wont matter to much anymore. I don't remember the phone getting identified as a artefact, all i remember is that Rom asked whether it was a artefact and that subaru went with the flow at that point. So it kind of got identified and kind of didn't.

We don't actually know that, Because so far he only tried to explain the revival stuff. He never tried toe explain that he came from a different dimension, or come from the future. And if the cure or something is sentient then it should have killed him the moment he tried to take out his cellphone or the plastic bag with instant noodles. Those could all be used as evidence that he comes from a different world, or the future. Or he could use them to just make up whatever the hell he needs to get them to listen to him, it does not have to be the truth. Same goes for his clothes which from the looks of it is a track suit which are often made from polyester which is a artificial thread and as such is another piece of evidence. (On the topic of the plastic bag with food, what the hell happened to it? It is featured rather prominently in the opening and we have not seen it since the first few episode. And i don't think we ever saw him throwing it away or eating it) It would also be highly problematic for the curse to kill him when he explains he is from the future or a different world. As it would only take one or two curious persons to basically get him stuck in a infinite reboot. I mean is nobody in that world curious enough to as, what is that cellphone thing actually and how does it work? Or what are those clothes made off, I have never seen such a fabric. Or what is that bag made off and what are those cups. So I think there are options regarding the curse or whatever it is. It probably is not truly sentient but more like computer AI sentient.

Subaru is a great example of exploring metal stress, baggage and the problem of revival. In that he is a good example if a bit on the flat side, I never meant to say he was not a good example of that. And with basically no anime exploring things like PTSD it is about the only example and it does manage to be convincing in that regard. The problem i have with subaru is that he never ever stopped to consider what he is doing, and as such has until this episode basically not changed from how he was in episode one. And i dont mean by taking the time to consider that he needs to train, commit suicide and do it all over again. That would be way to taxing on the mind. But he never ever considered explaining is actions and providing a basis as to why he knows certain things. Moreover he kept thinking he was special and deserved special treatment up until now. This makes him a very flat character and he basically invited all the shit he got onto himself. And being a NEED, socially challenged and a recluse has absolutely nothing to do with being dumber than the rear end of a donkey, a arrogant piece of shit and being unable to relate to other people. He never stopped to think about how other people who interpret his words and actions. He was always frantic and in a hurry, because his only though was "i'm scared, i'm scared, i'm scared" after dying an getting reset so many times you need to learn to distance yourself and any real person would, right until the moment it is over after which most people would collapse into a wet, snotty, slimy pile of goo. If i take Linn Jinto as a example (mostly because i am currently rereading the novels) There is a scene in which he has to shoot people, his reaction to it is the following: Ow heavens I'm shooting people This shows he is scared, and is fully aware of what he is doing (Killing people, well failing miserably at hitting anything mostly) but it also shows he is detached from the actual event and in a calm state of mind despite having to frantically fight for his life. On another scene where the odds look bleak his reaction is the following: Well i guess we are going to die today It again shows the same feelings as above, but because they have been chased for so long he has reached a point where he basically does not really care what happens next. He simply thinks at this point, whatever happens, happens. Does this mean he does not care whether he lives or die, no but it shows his exhaustion at the situation. Another big difference between the two is that Linn Jinto, had earned trust in his partner Lafiel. This gave him a lot of mental support in order to stay sane an keep going. Which is something subaru never had with emilia, he has always felt superior to her and never trusted her. He saw her more a an object then a human being. Why he felt superior, I don't know but he has absolutely no reason to do so. He has no knowledge about the world and cant survive without her, yet he still feels superior to her in every way. He never trusted her which also contributes to the shit he gets.

Have you tried reinstalling it from scratch? I have had similar problems with some vn's after installing windows 10 and in some cases it fixed it. (As such it likely has something to do with the register)

Subaru is far from a realistic character, he has so far been way to flat for that. Realistic characters are really rare and there are way better examples of those around. Rock, from black lagoon Lin Shu Rock Yalulug Dril Hydal Jinto from Banner of the stars Main spice and wolf characters The main characters from your under arrest (although this one is debatable, as they are not that complex) main characters from Space Brothers All of these are far more complex and realistic characters than Subaru. Which is sad, because the main thing holding the series back in my opinion is subaru himself and his character.

My reaction to subaru's proposal to run away this episode, Seriously give the guy a functioning brain, the brain dead part has gone on long enough. EDIT: Okay it got slightly better towards the end, but my opinion still stands about subaru he really needs to start using his brain and remaining calm. Maybe he will finally start doing that, don't have high hopes though. And my prediction at the end of the last arc that rem had fallen head over heels for subaru and that we are getting a love triangle was true. Which incidentally doesn't make me happy at all, it would have been nice to see a different kind of bond between the two. It is like animators, manga artists and LN autors have forgotten that there a about a thousand different things in between. Would have made me a lot happier if they ended up in a different relationship, possibly something like Jinto and Lafiel in Banner of the stars. (Only good example of a relationship in anime that is more than friendship less than lovers that i can think of)

You mean what is now known as unlimited chat works?

Whatched twin spica last week, a interesting series but the constant flashbacks really got on my nerves. Wanted to check out the manga unfortunately it is not fully translated. Now watching Rin daughters of Mnemosyne, only about half way through the first episode but it seems like i am going to really like the series.

the big problem is that right now it is forgetting to take a breather and slow the action and pace, hope it goes back down somewhat after this arc though. Toaru is a great example of where the pacing got ruinind really bad in my opinion.

I would recommend crest of the stars for the good characters and great world building. For comedy i would recommend desert punk.

welcome and i hope you will have a good time. Be sure to play tsukihime despite its age.

Re;zero episode 17, seriously has he not learned anything these past 17 episodes? Personally i feel like Subaru has not suffered enough, mostly because he does not take a single lesson out of it. We are now in episode 17 and he still thinks anyone is going to listen to him if he yells at them to come along. How about instead of yelling at Emilia that she has to come along you instead take a deep breath calm down and explain what is going on and what is going to happen. Also if you cant tell her you wind back time every time you die, you instead tell her you come from a different dimension and use the cellphone and whatever other crap was in that shopping bag as proof. So far he has not once tried to explain he came from a different world only that he resets every time he dies.

yeah that is true, i almost never play in full screen. unless it is one where i can keep my start menu at the bottom so i can switch tabs and programs easily. Main reason i don't do it has to do with the fact that most games dont support 1080p resolution and as such alter the display resolution when playing in full screen which makes changing programs a pain because windows has to resize the screen each and every time. Sometimes i wish i had a second screen unfortunately i dont and dont really have the space for it either.

the moment you click on another window. Example i have maijkoi and a web browser open at the same time. I am currently playing/reading maijkoi and suddenly i get the urge to look something up on the internet. So i click on the browser, the moment i do this the game loses focus (get hidden behind the web browser) and at that point it pauses and stops playing all sounds. Now i dont remember wenether this was the default behavior or you needed to set it in the advanced settings. Looked it up, the relevant settings are under the visuals tab.

Quite a few games do that better, they pause everything the moment they lose focus. Maijkoi is a great example.

finished two routes of koiken otome, i guess the game is just not for me. I like the characters but they are kind of flat in my opinion and the common route got boring at some point, which is strange as i generally enjoy long common routes. For me the weakest point was the overall story and the world building which felt really empty to me there just was not much to it.

Welcome and enjoy your time here. Be sure to read tsukihime at some point. As for a anime recommendation, i would always recommend crest of the stars.

Sorry to hear this. Unfortunately i cant help you as i have never had anything stolen from me. And stealing my pc would be kind of impractical. Its a full tower case weighing in at about 20 kg loaded, and in order to get it out of the house you would need to go down two stairs and on each side is a bedroom. Simply put any thief that would try to steal mine is basically guaranteed to get noticed.
