>had to buy flopism
oh nonononono hahahahahahahaHAHAHAHAHAH, the absolute state

Borderbros... I was expecting a heroine to die from how people were reacting, but that was still more sadistic than I expected. Very ballsy of them. I'm excited now that things have actually gotten serious. Before this it felt like they were just playing at being bad, but now they've really crossed the borderline. Looking forward to the next episode.

>>45342986
Why can't you just post a normal screenshot from the game instead of this meta shit? I bet you're not even fucking playing the game.

>>45343035
It's some MTLer tourist I'm pretty sure.

>>45343035
It was the peak moment of these threads, let it last while it can

>>45343029
How long was it?

>>45343035
Honestly for so many people that wanted to download it there hasn't been a single pic about the game posted yet aside from the guy who shared the main menu
Surely the story is so good everyone is reading it and have no time to share their impressions right?

https://vndb.org/v18685
Can I read this first or does it spoil the main game?

>>45343073
Bro posting even minor spoiling screenshots of a new game that everyone is reading right now is just bad manners
Surely i can post with spoilers, but who gonna open them if no one finished it yet?

>>45343083
It spoils even more than just the main game

>>45343073
Because all them are hookcucking/MTLing it and reading at a snail pace.

>>45343090
Damn I wanted something short after months of moege nomi to flex my brain a little
I guess I'll just jump into the main game and take it slow

>>45343101
you could try short nitroplus games if you haven't played already

Whats with all the anons playing dies irae for the first time in 2023

Does anyone have experience with running VNs on Steam Deck?
I'm trying to play Flyable Heart via Lutris, it looks like this in Fullscreen mode and I'm not really sure how to fix it.

>>45343124
I just use moonlight to stream vns from my pc to the deck

>>45343110
Because i heard it for years and it's extremely boring so i couldn't get any motivation to sit through it
And well it was in fact boring for the first 1/3 of the game so it wasn't completely false

>>45343068
A bit under 4h for me. Slightly shorter than the previous two?

>>45343110
Because of this guy

>>45343110
Avesta soon

>>45343091
I read about 20 times faster than most of the rest of you - with the exception of a few bibliophiles. What is a true chore, taking up tens of hours for you, might very well only be a short eight to ten hours for me. Reading that fast - whether in English or Japanese - gives me a greatly different perspective than a lot of the others here.

>>45343124
This is usually caused by irregular DPI settings. I have no experience dealing with them on Wine or Steam Deck but it should be possible to force them somehow to regular 96 dpi and that should work properly.

>>45343200
You should tell him how much you're autistically copying him. I bet that 40+ old fart would love to hear it.

>>45343182
I wonder if you are supposed to finish the whole masada catalog before it

b-bros...

I wonder if there is an African reading Geminism right now.

>>45343224
I've read all of his VNs so I should be good I think.

>>45343246
>old hag
Looks like she's already expired

>>45343246
that hag is so old that she doesn't even get her period anymore kek

I posted about geminism for days, launched it once and then put it in my backlog

>>45343246
Menopause is inevitable for such an old hag.

Any eroge set in MesoAmerica?

Someone please tell me this is supposed to be a pun or something

>>45343495
you must be new to this hobby if that's enough to trigger you
I've seen some real shit

>>45343495
The japanese text in the game should answer your quest

>>45343511
Nah, the only thing that triggers me in VNs is when characters use 外来語 in every sentence for no reason at all
I'm just amazed at the display of incompetence here; how does such a thing even happen?

>>45343224
It's setting is before all of his VNs, so you probably wouldn't miss anything other than recognizing certain words/names and themes from his past works

>>45343495
You should patch your shit.

>>45343560
Did the patch fix that one line in the memory scene where they had the wrong speaker name?

>>45343292

Yuck I can sense the 加齢臭 from her

You guys play VNs in fullscreen? I tried it with magpie (window upscaler) and it just doesn't feel right. There's something homely about playing windowed that you lose when you switch to fullscreen

>>45343527
>Nah, the only thing that triggers me in VNs is when characters use 外来語 in every sentence for no reason at all
I sincerely hope your post is meant to be a shitpost

Why is it called Little Princess GO! if there are only four heroines? Is there a hidden heroine or something?

>>45343700
>There's something homely about playing windowed that you lose when you switch to fullscreen
yeah i feel the same, guess it's autism but whatever

>>45343700
I used to use windowed mode before I knew about Magpie but my eyesight has gotten bad so I need to use it now.

>>45343700
I can't focus if it's not fullscreen. Heck, I manage to get distracted even if it is but it's much worse in the window mode.

>>45343703
What, you like it when the characters use English words like キャリア, スタイル, フィット, サポート, プレー, ヒストリー, タイトル, クラブ, etc., instead of the native equivalent for no reason? I know that's how Japanese zoomers talk but a writer should know better and treat his characters better

>>45343708
Same. It also doesn't help that they make the fonts of the games so fucking small when I'm sure most of their audience is the stereotypical otaku with giant glasses. Yes, I'm looking at you Geminism and Hirahira.

>>45343700
no. i'm a hookchad.

>>45343700
It depends on which game. Magpie is a lifesaver for me since my screen resolution is 1440p. It's really annoying to read with the small text without it.
On the flipside, some games look really bad to me upscaled no matter what I do, but it's a trade off.

>>45343726
Oh jesus christ, Hihiru was a huge pain in the ass even with the improved readability font, please don't tell me Geminism is like that too. I guess this is the monkey's paw for all the times we complained about VNs being 720p in [current year].

>>45343721
I'm fine when characters use words imported from Chinese, German, English, or any other language. All of those words are irreplaceable
parts of the Japanese language now.
Why exactly do you think those are any worse than all the words Japanese language borrowed out of China?

>>45343729
>not having multiple screens to level up your hooksharting while reading with magpie
loser

>>45343721
you sound like the old man who doesn't even want japs to say パソコン or コンピュータ, whichever one it was

>>45343721
You will never be Japanese.

>>45343740
yeah they shouldnt
>>45343749
doesnt change how gay it is

>>45343755
>he hates code switching.
Don't let this guy know how Filipinos speak.

>>45343737
I mean, the text is readable, it really is, but I just wish it was a little bit bigger. I just ask for a little more consideration for us blindfags, that's all.

>>45343771
And this is the config screen

According to reports from my intelligence sources, several of those claiming to be hookchads or other shits are refugees from /vn/. If you go check out that thread, you may notice certain similarities between the shitposting there and here. There's also some really undesirable garbage lurking (confirmed), so I'll be forced not to upload anything else here. Sorry bros. Thanks for everything, it was fun

>geminism and criminal border out amongst other great games
>along with many other great games on my backlog

what's wrong with me

>>45343246
Something I appreciate about Anim is that they're one of the only devs willing to have
>pregnancy h-scene
>heroine gives birth
>gets pregnant again
>second pregnancy h-scene
Repeat 3-4 times for multiple pregnancies.

>>45343771
>>45343776
Ah, that doesn't look so bad. I think the problem with Hihiru was not only the small font, but also the high transparency text window over detailed (and often bright) backgrounds. Seems Geminism doesn't have font or window opacity settings either, huh. And they're both made in Unity, right? Really hope this doesn't become a trend.

>>45343815
Why the fuck are so many VNs being made in unity? That new seikishi massage rape game was also made in unity and it makes the animations run like shit.
Is it just for ease of porting to mobile? Hopefully their insane pay-per-install program will stop devs using them.

>>45343721

>>45343836
kek

>>45343823
Unfortunately Unity backpedals on it so expect more games to run like shit in the future

>>45343847
I can't believe I live in a world where books have framerate problems.

>>45343721
It's fine when it's a commonly used word but when it's some 意識高い系 thing where they think they sound smarter for using the English word even though the Japanese equivalent is more common, that's annoying. Especially since katakana English can be hard to decipher sometimes since the pronunciation is so different from English.

>>45343738
Chinese loanwords have been around for many centuries, and even then they were still adapted to the Japanese language. For English "loanwords" they simply try to say the word with the Japanese sound system. It's INCOMPARABLE. If you want an example of what I mean, just with Chinese words, they did the same thing with most Mahjong terms: 嶺上開花 is not れんじょうかいか but リンシャンカイホウ, because that's the closest you can get to what the word sounds in Chinese while using the Japanese sound system.
Still, I can let go of the fact that these English words sound absolutely disgusting in Japanese if they serve some purpose. But they don't. There is literally no reason to ever say, for example, シンプル instead of 単純 or 簡素, and anything you can say, like "it has a different nuance," "it's more modern," etc, is simply coping.
I can only assume that the reason this phenomenon of using English words in Japanese exists is because Japanese zoomers think English is cool and they sound cool using these words, when they actually sound extremely retarded. Imagine if some white American suddenly started replacing some of the English words in his speech with Japanese words; everyone would think there's something wrong with him. It's exactly the same thing in Japanese.

Is Geminism any good bros?

>>45343902
Yes, but also no.

>>45343902
If you're into scat

>>45343495
It's a typo fixed by a patch which you didn't apply. Admittedly, it's easy to miss on tie game's site.

>>45343700
No if the scaling gets too blurry, which happens quite often with older games designed for CRT screens.
Otherwise, it's a crime not playing the new 1080 games at full screen.

Aren't a lot of the majikoi games 10 gigs due to all the voicelines and poor compression? I think fate's 10 gigs when you download all the extra patches too. Tsukihime Re is 20 on switch and 50 on playstation.

>>45343997
4poop is a meme

>>45343981
My monitor is very big (42") and I'm usually only slightly more than an arm's length away from it so I don't play anything at more than 1440p.

>>45343721
Loan words are just words in japanese.

>>45343864
>Imagine if some white American suddenly started replacing some of the English words in his speech with Japanese words; everyone would think there's something wrong with him. It's exactly the same thing in Japanese.
No, it's not because English enjoys the privilege of being the world language while Japanese does not. This isn't limited to Japanese either. Koreans, Viets, Flips, and other Asians use a lot of English loan words because surprise surprise decades of exposure to la Anglo.

Why do they casually drink underage in asairo? I don't mind, just not used to nip media not making a big deal of it when it happens, but no one even comments.

Perfect imouto.

>>45343864
>Imagine if some white American suddenly started replacing some of the English words in his speech with Japanese words.
The rest of the world is like this too. European non anglo zoomers use English slang and words. Get with the times old man.

>>45343029
spoil me a little. Are the heroines in this game actually evil or just dindu?

>>45344089
They all engage in premarital sex, of course they're evil.

>>45344086
It's gotten worse but english loanwords have been gaining popularity since before zoomers were even born

>>45344063
I like imoutos but I don't like anal

>>45344086
Not a good thing.

Same, anal is shit. Moebuts glorifiying a literal shithole always cracks me up.

>>45344190
>ape
This isn't an insult like you think, rather a compliment and the highest form of praise. Apes (specifically Orangutans) are simply superior to humans in every way. Speaking of which, any VNs with orangutan protagonists?

>>45344202
>Orangutan
Chimps > Orangutans
All the latter do is sit and shit on their asses.

>>45343409
EDEN, the doujin one, has some Mesoamerican motifs, I think.

Thanks for your input, there is a DPI setting, I set it to 96 but it doen't seem to make a difference.

>>45343721
you're lumping two things together, words that have been imported because there is no good jap equivalent, and words that are being used by posers to sound cool
the former is fine, the latter is bad

holy shit dude, you can't just bag it?

>>45344738
>the latter is bad
Why?
Because you, a non-Japanese person who is weirdly obsessed with the purity of a language in a country you're not from, don't like it?

>>45344752
no i don't care about the purity of language it just sounds pretentious

>>45344770
>pretentious
Using this word isn't carte blanch code for "shit I don't like."

>>45343864
Chinese loanwords have modern Japanese pronunciation exactly because they were borrowed centuries ago. You don't know how current English loanwords will sound centuries later, or even if they'll still be used. But I'm pretty sure they'll be much further from contemporary English than they are now.
And Chinese pronunciation have changed over the centuries too.

English is the lingua franca of the whole world currently, of course every language will borrow from it. It's especially true
for such a close geopolitical ally like Japan.

I googled it a bit and it seems Lutris has settings for using gamescope, at least on desktop.
If it has those on SteamDeck then try to set game resolution to 800x600 and output resolution to 1066x800 or 1280x800 (not sure if gamescope preserve aspect ratio).

Sorry if I sound like a newfag but do you know anyplace where to order eroge online? Mercari and Amazon JP selection is very scarce and I thought the reason might be a lack of a substantial market around the niche. But maybe there is a Shangri la or something like that, that I am not aware of.

>>45344891
toranoana?

>>45344891
Do you mean physical releases?
https://www.sofmap.com/
https://www.getchu.com/
https://www.amiami.jp/

But you should probably select your shop based on tokuten you prefer.

>>45344891
Japanese stores using a forwarder like Tenso. You can find a list of stores by looking at the tokuten info on any eroge homepage. Surugaya for secondhand. But most stuff should be on Amazon, are you sure you have safe search off?

>>45344891
First off, where are you located? Stores don't ship to certain countries because of restrictions like loli (CA, AU)

>>45343151
>I just use moonlight to stream vns from my pc to the deck
how do you get locale emulator to work with moonlight

>>45345019
Why do you need Locale Emulator? Just switch your system locale and stop using it.

>>45343864
older people do it too
https://files.catbox.moe/0pt3tv.mp4

>>45345031
because i use my pc for work and need it to be in a non-japanese locale

>>45345031
Not the anon but emulator also allows you to spoof the Windows version and UI language
Some games don't work properly with just locale switch

>>45345019
Make shortcut, or just add notepad or some shit as gamestream games and start the game manually

>>45345125
i'm doing the manual thing but it's a bit annoying, i'd rather have it added as a game in geforce experience
tried making a shortcut and adding the path to the locale emulator exe in "target", but gfe complains about "unsupported filetype" when i try to add the shortcut as a game (even though the shortcut itself works just fine)

>>45345004
That's not a problem my country is pretty lenient about that stuff.
>>45344908
>>45344905
>>45344913
I'll look into these later thank you for your time. Also yes I turned off safe search.

Can someone spoil me on what happened in Criminal Border 3

>>45345182
Try using https://github.com/aloneguid/win-shim
It will generate an exe with arguments embedded in it.

>>45345976
Nice. Better luck next time.

>>45345718
thanks it looks like it could do what i want
have you used it and happen to know what arguments will achieve this though? -a "LEproc.exe GAME.exe" doesn't seem to do it even though it works in the cmd

>vn has a deadish torrent but an aline mexa link on AS
thank god

>>45346691
I think it should be something like "./shmake.exe -i GAME.exe -o leGAME.exe -a "-run GAME.exe" --app-path LEProc.exe"

But you might need to pay attention to the working directory. That sometimes could mess up things.

>>45345893
Which girl? Hina?

What is wrong with my Eustia? I can't replay voices from the backlog by clicking the speaker icons. I click it and nothing plays, male or female characters. And for what goddamn reason did they decide not to have a voice replay button in the UI? The only way to replay a voice right now is using a mouse gesture to replay the current line or jump to a line in the backlog.

I tried the official bugfix but the BGI.exe does nothing and using the crack on it gives a CRC mismatch. Using the cracked exe with the rest of the patch files shows an error with "ipl._bp". I'm triggered and want to fix Eustia. Any ideas?

Unrelated but does Geminism have ero or just 18+ guro?

>>45346961
Yes, use the latest update on August site. No crack needed, just Locale Emu or Japanese Windows.

>>45346691
>>45346737
And just an additional note: You might need to use full path inside arguments for maximum compatibility (-a "-run PATH\GAME.exe") but in that case you should avoid having spaces inside that PATH. It's almost impossible to make it work properly with spaces there and it's very hard to debug.

>>45346961
Based on what I have seen, Geminism has ero-content. I'm not far into the game though; I'm going by things I've seen.

Any games without katakana?

>>45344063
title?

>>45347169
New Quince Soft.

>>45346996
>use the latest update on August site
I used this blue button one already https://august-soft.com/support/aiyoku/ but as I said the exe does nothing. Yes, I copied the files into the folder.

Sometimes after trying the patch or mixing files the system.arc file corrupts and I have to use a backup. I had to redownload the iso the first time it happened. I just want voice replay...

>>45347070
I hope it does. None of the preview pics had ero. I was surprised that the torrent is only 1.5GB, but I expected it to be a short game.

>>45347207
Install the game fresh, use that update only and use Locale Emulator with Fake UI Language. Its needed.

>>45347207
Be warned, I have heard that it has only a little ero. I think that's fine, though, given it's a short game. It seems a few people have already cleared it.

>>45347218
>with Fake UI Language. Its needed.
Thanks mate, that fixed it! How did you know this?

What a weird issue. Use the original files and it crashes because it's not cracked. Use the crack and the game works with JP locale but voice replay is broken. Use the official patch and it doesn't start at all. Use Locale emu with Fake UI language and the official patch works with voice replay.

>>45347409
>I have heard that it has only a little ero
No problem. All that matters is it having any ero at all. I don't want Craftworks to jump on the all-ages bandwagon. All-ages guroge would be weird.

>>45347464
>How did you know this?
Tried various things myself back then the August patches came out.

This is gonna be my life for the next month or two. Wish me luck.

I thought they always remove drm before uploading?

>>45348271
Girlcelly seems to leave sometimes.

>>45348271
lolno. Most of the time he adds "Crack" under the DDLs and you need to dl that too. He didn't on the RE:D torrents. Likely uploaded without testing.

Uhh, I unno about that one anon.

It doesn't matter here, like we talked already, SoftDenchi is trivial to remove.

It's likely some extra contents disc.

>>45348686
Mount with DouteiTools and see what it is. Sometimes it's just a soundtrack in wav files or as an audio disk. Other times you get a bunch of extra stuff in folders. Could even be an interactive disc.

I always mount and extract the files, then convert to non-bloated formats. Shrinking 4GB of music CDs down to 500MB feels good.

Thanks, but the ccd is needed too.

>>45348879
Added to the link.

>>45348884
Thank you.

Hmm, it's probably some music CD. WinCDEmu can't read it, Daemon Tools is needed.

Maruto sure knows to how to write appealing characters. I wouldn't have minded if MC plapped her right there. Though this is probably too serious of a game for that.

>>45348479
Eigo when?

>>45349229
Never.

>>45349229
I'm actually wondering how the fuck you are supposed to localize this old ass chuuni speech, like what would even be the closest english alternative?

>>45349358
They did it was based Mememasa so they can find a way.
>>45349294
Vndb begs to disagree.

>>45349398
Not even Muramasa did go as old as this

So the only reason to read the Sorechiru remake is to get used to the new VAs for the sequel? I can't even get excited for the sequel since Jackson isn't the writer.

>>45349494
They just gonna scum everyone again and go out of business

Are you supposed to read this one before Myth or is it already included? https://vndb.org/v1055

Is the H in Dies Irae important or did they just add it for the coomers and I'm safe to play the all-ages version?
And while I'm at it, what about Fate? Since it seems like for the voiced version they also removed the H

>>45343721
you literally used a" loan word" in your original post instead of the English equivalent. You're hypocrite

>>45349398
The Moogymasa translation is a joke. And so was Dies Irae's or any Type-Moon hackjob. Chuuni is untranslatable.

>>45349494
Sorechiru was always meh and not worth reading if you have a big backlog. The remake made it even worse with new VAs and the modernised art. Why do Japs get this so wrong all the time? Hapymaher, Mashifoni and now Sorechiru. Next to get anally raped is Yakin Byoutou.

>>45349739
Just speaking from personal taste here, but I found the H in Dies Irae shockingly good for a chuuni game. They're usually shit. KKK also had top-tier H.

>>45349739
If you want to play Fate you have to download the EOP "Ultimate" edition and apply a patch some anon here made that restores the original Japanese script
I'm not going to argue that the h-scenes are important, but Nasu went full george lucas and did dumb changes all over the entire script. For example, he removed every single descriptor sentence relating to how characters are speaking because there's voice acting now.

>>45349573
The version inside MYTH is a remake of the original one

>>45349739
There are several scenes where they talk about their feelings which adds more context to their relationships
Also there is one Rea scene in AA where they completely cut off any mentions of the act white still kept the rest of the dialogue so the meaning of that scene becomes completely different between the versions

>>45349794
So is it fine to just read that version (that includes english) only and not worry about that prequel or after story?

>>45349767
>Mashifoni
What's wrong with it? It looks like it did the Favorite remaster thing and expanded the original CGs instead of cropping them which is tasteful. They didn't change the VAs either. Is it putting Sana's route into a separate game? That's pretty scummy but irrelevant if I'm pirating the game(s).

>>45349767
>Chuuni is untranslatable.
Chuuni isn't untranslatable, it's just that most chuuni translators so far have been too incompetent to do it justice

>>45349767
>Why do Japs get this so wrong all the time?
Rance remake fixed what was wrong with the OG's so much they are rendered non-canon now.

>>45349805
I don't know why some all-ages versions of eroge have such an aversion to even alluding to the idea of the characters having sex off-screen.

>>45349866
Chuuni is only translatable to German

>>45349805
My personal favorite is Kei's hatesex being replaced with bloodsucking but they kept some parts of the sex dialogue anyway. I think even the climax line was left in there.

>>45349878
>>45349894
What makes it funnier is that they kept all the actual fucked up stuff about Schreiber unchanged in the allage version, i guess this shit is supposed to be more family-friendly than a mention of bj

>>45349916
Why do they do this

>>45349884
how do you translate 総統閣下

>>45349956
Bro you really can't grasp the double meaning here?
Losing your pp is equal to losing your identity

>>45349818
Don't worry about the prequel since the version in MYTH is the "canon" one anyways, but do read After Story cus that's new content (and also read W Standard Wonderland afterwards, it's pretty good)

>>45349985
Speaking about it, all of the links to the side stories of Wonderland appear to be dead
http://www.circletempo.net/WD/ninki/
I wonder if there is at least someone who saved those or they are lost forever

>>45349916
I always wonder why some games have bizarre censorship for the all-ages versions. Surely simply cutting out some sex scenes, adding fade-to-black screens, etc. is easier and much less work than this weird practice of randomly cutting some fucked up things but not all of it. If my memory is correct, AA actually adds an additional "Sieg Heil" because of the side stories, but removes Eri explicitly saying "Nazi" during the common route. What the fuck is the logic there?

>>45349969
I'm bothered by the usage of アイデンティティ and, more generally, 義訓 as a whole
It feels like an extremely cheap gimmick that shouldn't belong in serious writing

>>45350019
I just remembered that they also left the whole Rusalka h scene unchanged and just cut the bottom part, that shit was hilarious

>>45350039
The bros are nazis, they keep inserting random german or english words in it all the time because it sounds cool

>>45350039
>cheap gimmick that shouldn't belong in serious writing

>>45349962
nta but obviously the correct translation is always Überragender Führer.

>>45343705
I think the theme of this game is "4 princesses from popular Disney tales". Snow White, Alice, Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty.

>>45349767
Why do you think that's a problem only in Japan? Go ask a western weeb to watch old anime, he wont, he will say it looks outdated because the art is different, the updated artwork is to sell it to those people, this is a problem about zoomers more than about "japs"

>>45343823
You want it to be on RenPy or what? (like previous their game - Erocas)

Yeah, it seems so. I was just wondering if GO in the name might mean there is a fifth one. But maybe it will just mean that the protagonist will write his fifth novel or something.

are you an actual idiot

>>45350665
Did you like just read go part only and ignore the rest of the name?

>>45350669
Nope. I'm just having some fun overanalyzing the name of this game.

>>45350633
Don't know anything about criminal border but just the name makes it sound like crime would occur? The big shocker is just that someone gets murdered?. From how much it was getting hyped up I thought it'd be something bigger. Is it a moege or something

>>45342986
i assume steam censors the shit out of vn's right? where's the ideal place to buy them?

>>45350807
It's the first heroine of the game, not just random side characters.

>>45351142
holy shit, nice

>>45348686
Anything non-ISO is usually a mixed mode CD (1 data track with the actual game + several CDDA tracks with BGM) because ISO format can only store pure data. What this retard >>45348755 does removes music from the image and the game.
Another legit use of non-ISO formats is the intended reason: fooling the DRM checks.
However, there are legit retards which rip normal CDs into exotic formats when a normal ISO would suffice (this does inflate file size with pointless subchannel/error detection and correction data), or rip a pure audio CD as a disc image.
ccd+img+sub on your pic is probably for a reason though, and you won't gain much/anything by converting it to another format. I use IsoBuster to see what's in the image without even having to mount it (paid software, cracks are fucky but an old version 3.8 has a good serial that's banned in newer versions)

>>45351142
Wait, are you telling me that fat pig from the first game is out?
If so I'm actually going to read it now

>>45350947
>buy

>>45350665
calling the game 'little princess' would start beef with alicesoft lol

>>45350947
Just pirate them, if the pirate copy is from steam it would be the same as getting it from steam

>>45351198
Yes. I never thought they'd do that in a linear story.

What's the difference between the 2012 Mahoyo release for pc and the one coming out in a couple weeks on Steam?
Is the Steam one coming with a TL the only difference?

>>45351381
upscaling and they added voice acting because it turns out all the interviews Nasu gave in 2012 about how voice acting would damage his artistic vision was just him being a fucking liar again
it has no new content

>>45351404
Wait, the original had no voice acting??

>>45351410
Nope. It was still incredible to be fair to Nasu's autism since he can actually write, but it's definitely better with voice acting.

>>45349916
The stuff with Schreiber was left mostly uncensored in the anime adaptation as well. It even kept the scene where he acts out his eye socket rape. Maybe they consider it very important?

>>45351415
Thanks. I'm excited to read it. Hope it's not too chuuni on the language, I want to read it in jp.
Going through Rance 03 right now with almost no problem besides military lingo here and there.

>>45351418
Well the anime is R-17 so it's kinda passable at least

Speaking about Mahoyo, i have seen plenty of people before who liked Fate but have been hating on it a lot, is there anything controversial in it?

>>45350039
>shouldn't belong in serious writing
you realize what scene you're calling "serious writing" right?

>>45350947
dmm, dlsite, akiba

>>45351491
There's nothing controversial about Mahoyo lol
I think people don't like it because of how much SoL is in it compared to battles.

>>45351491
Basically just people with bad taste like the other guy said.

>>45351491
It's like 15-20h long and mostly SoL and there are several setups that were obviously meant to be revisited in the 2 sequels Type-moon promised and then never delivered, recently Nasu has even said he'll probably make them movies instead or something
It's kinda like reading F/SN but all you have is the Fate route

>>45351516
>because of how much SoL is in it compared to battles.
So just like Fate?

>>45351560
you can count the battle content in Mahoyo with one hand after chopping off 2 of your fingers

>>45349358
Geminism's translation won't be good lol
It's cope

>>45351560
Kinda, but it's shorter so I guess people are stupid lol. A lot of the "best content in the game" is the SOL in comparison to Fate where a lot of it is the fights.

any good sovlge this year?

Kikyou is so stupid and cute
You kinda can instantly tell that this is written by a woman, there is just something so girly about the way she thinks, no way a dude could ever write anything like that

>>45351555
At this point I wouldn't be surprised if Nasu made Mahoyo 2 and 3 into FGO Singularities

The nukige omniverse...

>>45346961
>>45347070
Having cleared it, it does. It's all pretty tame though. Aside from the see through body parts I guess. There's a mechanic where the girls share one torso (it's complicated) so when one does lewd things the other can feel it which comes up fairly often. It doesn't feel like easily removable content for a possible all ages version, and it's pretty important to the themes and story (in my opinion). Though Awasumi and Kikyou have no full penetration scenes for a reason that will become clear at the end. Tsukishiro and Shinku have a couple though. Their scenes are a little less gentle but still nothing that crazy. Also each girl has a solo masturbation scene.

>>45352535
The whole thing sounds tame overall, and short. What's even the point. Seems like it's easily forgettable.

>>45352507
Background is one thing, but sprites should be pretty distinct, yeah? I haven't seen sprite reusage yet.

I FUCKING HATE UNITY ENGINE GAMES

>>45353789
Same. As soon as I started the game I could tell it was running at like 10 fps
I can count on one hand the number of good unity games out of the hundreds I've played

Anyone got a H-code for Dies Irae HD? Also, why does selecting 4:3 add all this black space

Why the fuck do they need a 3D engine for a mongolian slideshow kek

>>45353806
I'd rather play it with 10fps than not at all because cockblocking black screen. I'll download the Trial and see if that works and if it does if moving files around can fix it.

>>45353789
Someone has to tell the Japanese that you can limit the frame rate in unity

subahibi

>>45354033
Already read it but I hate its message. It was interesting to read though.

>>45354037
You hate being happy?

>>45354049
Not that anon, but it sure does seem that way for a lot of people.

>>45354049
I already am now, but I think Subahibi preached false happiness with its "make up your own meaning lol" and didn't help. But umineko's message did help me a lot when I first read it.

>>45354049
bro just forget trauma and bullying and be happy lmao

>>45354058
>But umineko's message did help me a lot when I first read it.
did the transition go well?

>>45354076
Transition from nihilism to belief in God you mean? Yeah.

>>45354049
You need a high IQ to know how to be happy. It's a skill.

>>45352837
I can't believe Crystalia really did it.

>>45354304
Okay now this is based/

>>45354049
There's nothing wrong with a story with an ultimately positive message about the pursuit of happiness. But Subahibi's message on happiness is based on toxic positivity, it's an inappropriately individualistic answer. You can't just tell everyone to "live happily" and expect that to be something profound and universal. Lots of people need help, love, and support from others to find happiness.

>>45354511
>Lots of people need help, love, and support from others to find happiness
That's just emotional dependency, there's nothing happy about that

>>45343740
You don't need to be old to find these words outrageous. If you can't properly call it a 高速演算機構 then you're a fucking zoomer, period.

>>45354602
I bet he uses hiragana, like a woman, instead of using pure kanji for men.

>>45354511
Even God can only help those who help themselves. Like , sure some outside help is nice and all but ultimately there are things you will have to come to terms with by yourself.

>>45354511
>help, love, and support from others
This is impossible for anyone in this medium so it's more fitting for a message about happiness to not stress that part.

Speaking of subahibi I just read pic related
I don't get what's the moral of the story is supposed to be, that even if we were part of an all encompassing eldritch abomination for all eternity we wouldn't be able to do anything about it so we should just stop thinking altogether and go on with our life like cattles?
That's sounds lame and gay

People here like to shit on umineko because there's a trans character or whatever, but subahibi genuinely read like something a tranny from reddit would write to justify its transition

>>45354769
that's just your zoomer brain rot speaking

>>45354790
live happily bro, if what makes you happy is fucking your underaged sister, living alone with your tulpa or pretending to be a woman that's fine!

>>45354769
Sounds like you should stop going on the internet and just read visual novels for a month or two

>>45354814
Yeah, it's really quiet and not balanced at all. I had to put the overall volume to the max and increase the voice volume while putting everything else very low and I still need to double the system volume to hear anything.

>>45354814
>>45354879
pretty funny how as soon as jap devs move away from their engines and adopt unityshit they become unable to get even basic features like sound balance and text display right

What's the consensus on げみにずむ so far? I see people calling it a flop if anything, lol

>>45354898
It's no Criminal Border

>>45354511
The message of living happily, in the lens of Wittgenstein is mostly to rediscover wonder in the simple things in everyday life that we take for granted, with the most wonderful thing of all being the ability to communicate with each others
But I agree that the message is a bit ruined by the whole bullying and rape thing that wasn't handled very well and basically ended by saying you should just work harder to not get raped in the first place

>>45354906
>you should just work harder to not get raped in the first place
Sounds like a valid point to me.

>>45354924
Even this point is moot because in her good ending zakuro avoid getting raped not thanks to her own efforts but because she get saved at the last moment by complete luck

>>45354900
This is probably a shitpost, but CB3 was actually great. I didn't think they had the balls to go that hard.

>>45355004
>CB3 was actually great

Heard it was kamige, which is why I was wondering if I should read it or Gem, lol

>>45354906
Imo Zakuro doesn't care that much about being raped, at least not to the point of commiting suicide. She only falls into despair after remembering that Takuji like virgins.
>>45354956
It's luck but it's only possible because they didn't give up. Even if they got raped there it doesn't mean they will automatically become unhappy.

>>45355014
It's one of those things that's a bit fucked up, because the reason I enjoyed it so much is because after the first two episodes where not a lot of criminal stuff happened in a series called 'criminal' border, they went full-tilt into some really dark territory. It was the surprise that did it, so now by telling you about it I'm kind of killing it because you won't be as shocked. It's the muv-luv problem, where telling people the reason why they should read it spoils part of what made the effect hit so hard in the first place.

>>45355027
I have that issue. I had zero interest in it till now cause the synopsis sounded boring, but now that I know the spoiler I want to read it. But its already spoiled...

>>45355027
Yeah, I already knew this so no worries. I'll probably check it out sometime... It looks really fun to read through.

>>45355017
I understand what it was trying to say, I just think it didn't do it particularly well
Yasuko in TnS remake was better at showing that you can still find happiness even after going through the most fucked up shit

>>45355027
I think the focus heroine of ch 3 is really cute so maybe I'll read the series for her

>>45353789

maybe not the best place to ask but I used to get all my VNs from nyaa/sukebei. I recently moved to Japan and was warned that ISPs are absolutely anal about torrenting anything out here and in general are just stricter about piracy. Does anyone know how fucked I would be for torrenting some VNs like I used to?
I'm aware I could just buy the VN like a normal person. Having options helps though

>>45355682
Everytime I download new release I see 80% Japanese flag
I doubt they actually care about sweeping leechers, only the main uploaders

>>45355682
I would rather sit through the shitty as links rather than risk being cucked out

acquire a seedbox somehow?
I want to say that I know people who still pirate lots of things fine while in japan, but anonymous posts aren't the most reliable

>>45355703
this is what I always assumed about ISPs and why nobody ever cared in my home country either. Someone I know out here just gave me the scare but I don't really know if it's worth believing.

>>45355795
that's an option, yeah. I'll look into it. I guess I'm just nervous being in a new country and not really being sure of the law. I only ever hear ridiculous stories about people getting arrested for making youtube videos with clips of copyrighted games/videos.

https://note.com/vast_gerbil711/n/n33a2470abe24?magazine_key=ma1f352acf9e3

>>45355682
Buy a VPN. Try to use DDLs whenever possible, and limit upload rate on your client (I've received a letter from my ISP in the past.)

>>45355703
>>45355928
Don't risk it, you're presumably on a visa and any potential troubles are not worth the little money you'll save from not getting a VPN.

>>45355682
you can get the newest release cheap because of your visa btw.

>>45355682
Just get a cheap dedicated server on ovh or something. You will be able to use it both as a seedbox and as a vpn.
But you'll have to get some technical skills to manage it though.

>>45355987
Mostly yeah, especially the point about not having to worry about all the stuff that comes with serialized media. Guy's clearly still in the honeymoon phase you get when you begin exploring a medium, though, and some of those are double edged swords, like padding.

>>45355987
His last point about routes is nothing but facts, the biggest complain about romcoms and romance anime/manga in general is how no matter who the mc chooses, some people will get mas, that problem is fixed on eroge

One of the twins has a sex scene. Obviously it’s only vaguely described.

I also thought it would be a pain in the ass, but Dies was unhookable so i decided to give it a try and i didn't really have any issues with it, it was actually a lot of fun trying to figure out all the schizo words by yourself
I just had my yomichan search opened instead and whenever i saw a word i couldn't read i just tried to type all the other words with those kanji that i could remember. And if nothing comes to mind i just searched for the parts here https://kanji.club/
The only issue is that saving up some lines and phrases is a pain because you have to type all that out each time so i would still use the hooker for that purpose
You can just try to not look at the hooker page and figure out some words by yourself at first and see how it goes, there is no reason to decide between all or nothing

>moral of the story
Be a good golem and think all is happy but still be a nihilist and do nothing to fix that.

Umienko shows the pain and delusion of someone in that state. I feel more compassion to that person and want to help them overcome it, than the desire to promote that behaviour.

Only dumb Kanken wannabes don't use hookers, if you see japanese streamers you will see even people that has lived more than 20 years in japan either nissread or don't even know what it means, the guy shilling the shark cube eroge here posted once a vtumor reading it and she couldn't read 一朝.
Don't stop using them and learn the words you don't know

1.5 years. At that time I was hikki, so I read a lot of shit. I was pretty insecure initially, so I read 夏空カナタ and to my surprise, I did pretty well. In the end hookin' is a double-edged sword, because if you don't let go in time, you become extremely dependent. Also my retention increased significantly when I searched manually

Well I was putting this one off for later, but I guess now I must play it.

I think it's /vn/ residence because border shitposting in there and the discussion in this threads also related to translated vn

Take it easy. by the way it's fun but since I graduated from hookin' now I hardly read eroges, I'm 100% dedicated to gaming

People here need to finally realize that the only way to defeat shitposters is to generate more quality posts by yourself instead of fighting with each other

Post vn you guys read

I'll post about White Album 2 bit by bit. So far the twist seems to be that Setsuna is secretly evil.

I'm still hooking admittedly but what helps a lot is doing manual lookups along the side. This thread is nice for that if you want to follow what people are talking about here with all the screenshots.
