/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Fuck off, ``faggot''

We've had this discussion.

I wasn't here for it.

So does /jp/ like KS or is it too mainstream and lacking in touhou characters?

>>8470206
/jp/ hasn't liked it for years. The actual release changes nothing.

MElDO!

>>8470206
It's too mediocre to be liked or even hated.
I'm completely different about it.

You can look for it.

Here's the short version:
It's bad to average at best, art and story are inconsistent, pacing is bad, etc. The only people who like it only like it because they have 0 experience of eroge, and a lot of people here dislike it because it introduces people to VNs.

So, there you go. Now delete this thread.

Translation status?

>>8470210
i first played hanako route expecting maybe too much from it and i was like "meh". then i tried emi and i really enjoyed it. next one is rin.

still not as good as ymk

>>8470231
Holy HELL you need to go back to /v/, buddy.

>>8470231

all routes sucked as HELL except good emi

All I can say about this game is... nice try.

>>8470181
>While KS is good, I think it's just /v/ and /a/ lacking experience in VN's.

It also originated from a thread on /a/, thus the hype. It's only really notable in any way because it's an OELVN made by a bunch of gaijin.

>>>/a/ KS discussion goes here.

>>8470244
That's probably cause of you like UBW route in FSN.

>>8470212
>>8470215
No pts for the novelty of using disabled girls?
I don't recall many disabled heroines from the VN's I've been through. At least not an entire cast.

Key tends to just have mysterious sicknesses.

>>8470258
The disabilities are just a gimmick and not used properly in KS.
In some eroge you have girls with anime ears, these days monster girls are popular too.
Same thing, gimmick only.

>>8470258
The disabilities might as well have been personality quirks, most of the time.
Hisao himself is also a pretty horrible MC, although not the worst at all.

>>8470244
does your trip come off sometimes, or are you not wtH?

>>8470288
He better not be taking his trip off, I don't want to be seeing that retard's posts.

>>8470181

i'm just getting over it now, only did lilly's route, got good end a couple days ago.

afterward all i did was go for long walks, drink lots of beer, and read KS threads on the internet. couldn't pull myself together to do anything productive. i had that shitty feeling in my heart / stomach for 2 days straight and finally this morning it let up and now i feel relatively normal again.

at this point i don't think i'll do any other routes, i have a general idea how they all end via spoilers and even if i didn't i think it's too hard to go back at this point. either way the game gave me a lot of good feels but also a lot of shitty ones. reminders of my own berndness and no gf etc. right after i had finished i almost wished i hadn't played it but now that a couple days have past i'm really glad that i did.

i was very skeptical of the merits of the game and even up to act 3 i was scrutinizing the writing and art, i think a lot of people on the internet were until they finished a route and then everything changed. in complete seriousness it's totally altered how i view handicapped people. it's the most humanizing portrayal of the disabled i've ever experienced and a week ago if someone had asked me if i'd ever consider a handicapped gf i'd laugh in their face and say it's a sad story but fuck that. now i could totally and honestly see myself with handicapped gf and feel disgusted at my former self. i remember looking at normal & disabled couples and thinking how the normal persons life must be shit and they're only sticking around out of pity or obligation. i have no such views anymore and i'm ashamed i ever did.

something inside me has fundamentally changed because of this game and for that i can never thank it enough.

So apparently Lilly reads books in braille which makes sense.

However what I don't get is how braille would even work for the Japanese. Does it even exist? I mean I guess you could have letters for hiragana but trying to differentiate between kanji would be a nightmare.

>>8470312
As a person with a blind friend I am extremely insulted by your stupidity and lack of ability to google to see how you are so fucking stupid.

>>8470312
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_braille

It does exist. Seems complicated, but with enough practice it'd be easy. I guess that there is not much literature in japanese braille though, which explains why most of Lilly's ordered books are imported and in english braille.

>>8470321
Whoa, take it easy. Dude.

Wikipedia was crapping out on me hence why I asked.

>>8470312
Man, google how does it work...

Final Fantasy 7: VN Edition
Only even worse than FF7 compared to good FFs.

>>8470321
Calm down there blindy.

>>8470334
I don't recall disabled girls in FF7.

>>8470306
And you're a /jp/?
Regardless whether you are or not, all good books/movies/vn or stories in general makes an impact on a person's character, choices, and/or life.

>>8470278
>The disabilities might as well have been personality quirks, most of the time.
see pic. KS 2.

>>8470278
That was my problem with it.
I've seen far more 'disabled' bgirls in the psychological meaning because heavy traumas in VNs that the KS girls, who were pretty normal.

I still laugh every time someone thinks that katawa means crippled.

I tried to rip all the sprites from FSN, but all the saber ones look like this with the weird outline, is there any way to fix it?

the download link i found for the sprites on google was broken so almost none of the images worked in that either

>>8470409
Learn what an alpha channel is.

>>8470416
Why is /jp/ so hostile about these things, can't you just tell me what I need to do to make it better without the smartassery?

Okay so the alpha channel looks likes its just the black and white outline of her, now how do i fix all of the images without going one by one

>>8470426
Fuck off normalfag. Take your Fate/stay shit and other babby's first VNs back to /a/ and /v/.

>>8470409
http://sdb.drshnaps.com/display.php?object=522

>>8470426
Take out the cartridge and blow on it.

>>8470254
/jp/ was created so you autistic shitposters can discuss VNs, while /a/ kept anime.

So when /v/ latches on to a good VN, it somehow becomes below your level and too mainstream, so you direct people to /a/.

You're the definition of a shitposting hipster .

>>8470440
It's not Japanese, ergo it doesn't belong here.

>>>/a/

>>8470454
/a/ is for anime, and not VNs. /jp/ is for VNs and Touhou. You should probably stop trying to tell people what to do.

KS is a VN, and belongs in /jp/.

>>8470440

Name one good VN. I dare you!

>>8470464
Going to argue with the mods now?

>>8470440
The users from this board feel tsundere about the rest of the boards. Everytime they pretend not to like something, they redirect it to another board. Remember when /jp/ started redirecting some touhou threads to /v/.

>>8470467

>>8470503
>weeaboo

>>8470506

Right there, faglet.

So if this board hates KS, what VNs do you consider good?

>>8470482
Wishing that all of the shitty normals who infest every other board would get sent to the gas chamber is tsundere?

>>8470510

Saya no Uta

>>8470464
You can bitch about having to discuss KS on your home board when you can keep all of your faggot users who are constantly raiding our front page and spamming it with Saten, Kuroko, Madoka a shit, and other threads about japanese cartoons that have nothing to do with the content of the board.

goddamn I check /v/ sometimes when I am bored and how the fuck can they have hundreds of threads in a row about this shit ?

Like, is there even that much to discuss, this seems like some pretty generic shit here (wich I guess makes it good amoung OELVNs) with some added gimmick that isn't even used well (normal sex only, nothing exciting)

So yeah, gb2 /a/v/ anyway, get out KS devs, etc...

>>8470517

>>8470510
Only the untranslated ones.

>>8470517
I'm not the person to whom you're replying, but do you even read moon? Saya is passable compared to the body of low quality VNs that have been translated into English, but it's really shit when you put it up against the vast majority of untranslated VNs that aren't nukige.

>>8470534
Katawa Shoujo isn't translated.

>>8470517
I loved this VN. Shame /jp/ goes through a sine wave of, "Yeah it was great. I really enjoyed it, the Lovecraftian overtones and artwork were great, blah blah blah..." and "FUCK THIS FUCKING SHITTY BABBY'S FIRST VN RAGE RAGE RAGE." I wonder where we're at this week.

>>8470526
Yeah mean, because those are all off-boarders and not regulars at all.

>>8470537
It's been translated into a ton of other languages. Therefore what >>8470534=san said is still true.

>>8470539

You're one dumb piece of try-hard shit. Kill yourself.

>>8470538
They ARE offboarders. True /jp/ers don't watch cartoons, much less discuss them. Why anyone would waste their time on that garbage when there's VNs and Touhou is beyond us.

>>8470537
It's been translated in to many languages.

It's just the high-power level retards on this board who think that a VN can't be discussed here because they saw a thread on /v/ and /a/, and it's become too mainstream.

>>8470552
>waste their time on that garbage when there's VNs and Touhou

Is this real life.

>>8470552
One kind of escapism to another, what's the difference.

>>8470538
>Shame /jp/ goes through a sine wave
Man, you mean different people in a given board have different opinions? And the retards are occasionally louder? who woulda thunk it

>>8470547
>>8470547
How about actually refuting what I've said instead of throwing out insults? Do you honestly think Saya holds a candle to the likes of Muramasa or Baldr Sky?

>>8470579
Scumbags can't do that. They hurl insults at people who are more intelligent and successful. They hide behind their mask of anonymity. It helps them get through their day.

>>8470384
Ahh. It's strange when we are both traveling across boards and sites and yet meet.

It reminds me of bernd and 34.

>>8470579

Detecting sarcasm isn't your strenght, right?

>>8470575
Anyone who wants translated VNs on /jp/ either has retrograde amnesia or is new enough that he hasn't seen what happens every time a VN gets translated.

Do you really want to see the screaming hordes of /a/ and /v/ come over and rape the board with "Say it in Red!" roleplaying and "omg guiz how do I move my fleet in Daiteikoku?? why did hitler loli die :(((" threads? Because that's what happens when you empower English-only plebians and their poor taste.

>>8470596
This kind of elitism is fascinating.

I think I know how to achieve the ultimate power level.

>use linux
>read only untranslated VNs
>be a PC gamer

By your elitism combined, you become Neckbeard.

>>8470575
/jp/ is a hivemind entity. We're only composed of different posters as you are composed of different cells in your body.

>>8470605
Go away with your greentext.

Lilly route is the best because it played out like a Japanese VN. Hopefully Hanako's route is just as good.

Also Hisao is a shitty protagonist with a stupid face and should have been a nameable protagonist instead.

>>8470605

Did you think that was funny or witty?
It wasn't.

Please get out of /jp/

>>8470605
You can't use linux and read only untranslated VNs.

>>8470605
I do everything in your greentext! Though I don't really play games because my computer is old. Plus some VNs have problems in Wine.

>>8470596
I think you're exaggerating. For example I've never seen anyone in /v/ or /a/ mention Sharnoth, Inganock or Forest. But then again I don't visit those boards often

>>8470605
Elitism in itself isn't something bad.
I remember /a/ before elitism was shunned there, was pretty good.

In fact 4chan as a whole used to be really elitist, even /b/! We used to be very mean at newcomers and tell them to "LURK MOAR" and such.
I know, crazy right ?

>>8470609
Who do I have the pleasure of quoting?

>>8470614
:(

>>8470616
High-five!

>>8470596

Holy shit you are the biggest flaming faggot ever. I thought I was elitist but you take the fucking cake,the table it was on and stuff some muffins in your purse on the way out.

>>8470605
What's bad about elitism? It at least prevents some things from becoming shit, unlike egalitarianism, which makes everything become shit.

>>8470605
I think you should go and be new somewhere else. Also sage for console faggotry.

>>8470633
>>8470627
Samefag. Go back to <insert board of lesser reputation>.

You should all go back to /v/.

>>8470643
>>8470640
Samefag.

>>8470640

Two people agree so they must be the same person. Maybe you're just an unlikeable twat.

>>8470649

>twat

>>8470653
Who are you quoting?

>>8470627
I'm not exaggerating. If you go back in the archive and look at /jp/ around when Umineko 4-6 were translated or when Daiteikoku was released, you'll see many threads of the kind I gave as examples. It was horrible.

>>8470633
Go back to /a/, normalfag.

>>8470657

How's all this elitism working out for you?

Have you convinced yourself that you are a true NEET, yet?

Can you smell an /a/nime lover at a thousand yards yet?

I'm just happy that more people are enjoying the things I like. It would be nice if they branched out into other VNs.

>>8470660
>>8470596
I remeember the umineko RP, goddamn was that horrible.
They even got banned from /a/, and so tried using /jp/ as their shelter.

>>8470670

/a/ has arrived. Take shelter /jp/.

>>8470610
Hanako's route is one of the worst written shit I've read in a long time, all the development happen in the last 10 minutes too.

>>8470683
Never. We are going to defend our home, unlike those from fastboards who flee to our safe haven when something happens over at their boards.

I'm going to be super meta-double-elitist and say this:
If you DON'T read translated VNs and are capable of reading them in their original Moonspeak, then that means you aren't a true NEET because you're capable of putting effort into learning something. Get out of /jp/.

>>8470693

I hope you are prepared

>/a/ translates manga, anime, light novels, visual novels, and changes the otaku community
>/jp/ rolls around in filth all day screaming into the air they're better than /a/
>/a/ talks about everything on /jp/ and as of late they're veteran otaku compared to the babby /jp/ers nowadays
>/jp/ shits their diapers if something /a/ related appears on /jp/, but they're still desperate to talk about it
>most of the original /jp/ers from 2008 went back to /a/ and now /jp/ is filled with turds from /tg/cgl/k/ who came in 2010

2hu is boring after 6 years. visual novels aren't the apex of otaku media. this board is filled with a bunch of hipster faggots from /fa/ who got told to get the fuck out of /a/ so they take their anger out on it now.

/a/ translates more stuff in one day than /jp/ does every 3 to 6 months. i still embarrassed just reading the posts by retards who think /a/ gets machine translations. everything this board has is machine translates. look at the /jp/ super star translator cudder. cudder is the perfect symbol to represent how pathetic /jp/ is. /a/ is represented by stuff like this while /jp/ is represented by cudder machine translating milky holmes for 3 months without any changes or updates.

>>8470712
I was helping Censored Vagina edit manga in 2004, you fucking newfag.

>>8470712
have you seen /a/ recently it's more /v/ than /a/ at this point

Honestly this board isn't even good enough to be called a joke. It was a joke in 2010, but entertaining with all the entertaining tripfag fights.

Now what's left? A bunch of faggots who refuse to talk about translated VNs because they're too good for them.
A bunch of faggots who can't talk about untranslated VNs because their moonspeak is abysmal.
A bunch of faggots who sit around all day and whine about how they're better than every other board which is ironically why they are the worst board.

The pasta is right, most people who were here in 2008 went back to /a/.

>>8470712
>>8470733

Buttmad f/a/g detected. Go back to your shitty board and leave the elite alone pleb.

>>8470670
>Have you convinced yourself that you are a true NEET, yet?

Why would we need to engage in self-suggestion? We are True NEET.

>>8470730
The way things are going /jp/'s future isn't looking bright either.

>102 posts and 12 image replies omitted. Click Reply to view.
KS is fucking magical. It never fails to get /jp/'s blood boiling.

>>8470610
Wow thanks, actual discussion on the topic instead of /jp/ meta with /jp/ interactions with other boards.

>Also Hisao is a shitty protagonist with a stupid face and should have been a nameable protagonist instead.
Hisao is not that horrible. He's a understanding and sort of boring, but there's fat worse.
I agree with the nameable though, esp when you don't have voice.

>>8470733
>>8470712
I don't think we should be using terms like veterans or true otaku as it creates elitism of being obsessive. It's not exactly a good/bad thing.
I think otakus are not just /jp/ or solely/mainly /jp/ but get around between the boards more often than one thinks.
People on /jp/ being xenophobic idiots doesn't make the board any better.

Hey /jp/

I was around some other boards and they were RAVING about Kim Dotcom.

While MU was good, I think it's just /v/ and /a/ lacking experience in scammers who troll video game networks. The direction of the stories were rather simple, no big surprises, etc. I do however appreciate the novelty of money laundering, that in itself is pretty new or at least not overused diseased penis.

>>8470763
Didn't I tell you? KS will be used to troll /jp/ until the next coming of Christ.

>>8470712
Yes, because no one who translates stuff posts it on the board that it belongs on (/a/) and then quickly leaves that shithole to come back to /jp/. (Hint, I don't browse /a/, but I do post translated material there. You're a fucking retard and a good example of how braindead the userbase of that board has become.)

what is it about katawa shoujo and dadrockers?

>>8470869
this is like seeing The Godfather characters drawn as furries

>>8470873
NO U A SHIT

Hahahaha, guys who only play game about little girls think they have superior taste to everyone else.

Also, I liked Katawa Shoujo and intend to try more. DEAL WITH IT AUTISTS

http://krautchan.net/int/thread-9632830.html

>>8470784

I find it extremely hard to relate to Hisao especially during H-scenes.

>>8470882
the joke is that the godfather sucks anyway

>>8470955
You could relate to hisao being gentlemanly with Lily and strange in anal, right? Would have been rough would Emi though, fuck that soft shit (UBW route rin h-scene not in Emi route disappointed me).

KS isn't about the h anyways.

>>8471124
Actually I was saying it's shitty cross-over art of a highly-received classic. It's more insulting to fans of the original.

>>8471542
the joke is that pink floyd sucks anyway

BUMP THIS SHIT XD

>>8474934
I used to bump shitthread.... Then I took a penis to the knee...
xD

I wish these colonclobbered Shizunefags would stop forcing that shitty character in these threads. She's the worst one, and only like 1% actually like her.

>debian
No, Anon. YOU are the gaylord.

>>8475150
Yeah sure I bet you use Arch, ASSNERD

>>8475140
How is this working out for you? I've been wanting to switch to linux (specifically debian) for some time now but my main reason for not doing so are the uprising of problems associated with AVG.

>>8475180
It always will be easier to install and run VNs on Windows, so I only recommend it if you have time and like fiddling around. But it has definitely improved a ton. Last year not even 10 VNs worked at all. Now every translated VN I've tested (around 20) work flawlessly under Wine, and many untranslated ones work except for the ones with shitty engines. For them I have a VM with WinXP.

So joking aside, I wouldn't recommend it if you read only untranslated VNs (also I don't think AGTH/TA works, haven't tried) but popular translated VNs, anime, many recent games and whatnot will work perfectly.

>>8475220
I'll stick with Windows then. Thanks for the excellent response.
