Someone brought it up in the previous thread so decided to pick up again Ayakashi, this time with the idea of finishing it instead of leaving it in the backlog for years. And to read Ayakashi H later of course.

Finished Kajiwara and Orie routes and currently doing Pam. Previously did Hime's. A scene I really liked was when Hori forces you to have sex with the TV girl, felt a bit bad for Eimu but honestly you had no say in the matter, the sex still felt good of course.

I would imagine it only specifically gets tagged as spring if spring is actually featured in or important to the setting in some way. If the VN just starts at the start of the school year but doesn't really talk about spring or anything it probably doesn't get tagged.

Are there any such individuals ITT?

It depends.
If it has completely remade the art, I'm sticking with the originals.
I don't care about resolution. Bigger is nicer, sure. But I'm not playing an all-ages re-release just to have a higher resolution.
If it's rewritten, I'm either going to read both if I really like the novel or stick to the original.

It varies. For example, I couldn't sit through the original 18+ Demonbane unpatched. The voice cast is way too godly and finding out that it's actually only partially voiced after you finish the excellent opening chapter is like a massive kick in the balls. The all-ages version is better for that alone. Big deal if Tiberius isn't technically a rape machine anymore.

I just love Meiya. Can you blame me? Art quality has nothing to do with the resolution of your screen though. Besides, most modern games are still 720p somehow and Muv-Luv's later versions are like 600p or something so it's not really that much of a difference. You can start jerking off to resolutions if 4k VNs ever start being a thing.

I dislike old VNs because the mosaics are huge.

[Anonymous No.]

>>35852292
of course i cant. nontheless im not going to get a smaller screen just so im unable to literally count the pixels if i was bored enough. playing it on a 4k tv does make it very obvious. it cant be helped because the technology just wasnt there at that point but nontheless the i still vastly prefer modern art styles over the... i dont know? soft-looking shadow usage? the very sharp corners of stuff like hair? the overall lightning?

I like fullscreen for immersion and all that despite it not being perfect. Basically I check the built-in game fullscreen option first. If it's just too shitty (happens sometimes), then I use integer scaler and call it a day. I guess it would be nice if someone came up with some kind of program that did some meme neural network upscaling on any generic window but whatever. Nearest neighbor to a perfect integer doesn't degrade anything so that's good enough.

This would be fixed if they did full editions with all the context but it almost never happens. For example, I'm now playing Baldr Force, the original version. The other releases (the all ages ones) have new CGs and the MC is voiced but it's probably impossible to do a full edition due to copyright, probably.

>>35856258
How is it like playing untranslated VNs on a Switch? I have a Switch and have considered getting VNs for it, but a lot of content would obviously be censored, and I couldn't use a texthooker in case I need to reference something. Probably more difficult to read text on the relatively small display, which I think could be a concern. That said, the idea of having a dedicated VN tablet is pretty appealing to me. Surface Pro/Go tablets must be awesome for VN players since they can run Win 10 natively and have a slightly larger display while still being portable. Someday...

OK, I'm willing to accept that I'm an idiot and missed some foreshadowing, but I really don't see how it changes anything about the chapter at all.

I dunno, it just seemed like a really unnecessary twist that didn't change much.

Chuuni right wing propaganda that persists on itself, skirting along the lines before completely falling into a scummy hole of “there is no justice so the strong must rule”. Disgusting trash, looking forward to the English translation now because there’s certainly going to be some fireworks when people realize OOPS IT DEFENDS NAZIS
its full thesis on how there isn't really a good, moral ground to ever stand on. It paints the act of fighting against tyranny and the status quo as deeply sinful, especially in regards to Kanae's character. It defends the act of rapists and fully evil characters via sympathetic throughlines to critique that people's sense of justice is always in error. It's an almost nihilistic work that in my reading gave nothing but chuuni bullshit argument of "follow discipline and have conviction that there's nothing truly evil".

That was something in ichijou’s route that confused the shit out of me as well. I don’t know why the game decided to use doushin’s (a dude who we have seen commit absolutely horrific acts) death to further the point about ichijou’s sense of justice being flawed. Though I guess Narahara has the attitude that all killing is wrong regardless of what the person did

It doesn't matter whether someone is a mass murderer or not, killing them is a sinful act. You can pretend you're doing it for the good but it doesn't negate the fact that you're actually just killing people. You will claim this revolutionary violence is for the good. But good for who even if you succeed in your goals? Only you.

[Anonymous No.]

>>35856965
That’s cool ideally, I do agree with that thought but it’s hard to really apply this practically. Why do prisons and capital punishment exist if we don’t believe that killing gives some justice to the victim? I imagine Narahara is the type to be against capital punishment too, however

>>35857000
And no successful revolution has actually improved the world. The more violent any has been the more bloodshed, suffering and pain that's paid in recourse. It's all just a senseless struggle for power that the weaker get swept by, and they're usually the ones that pay for said crimes.

Your reading of Muramasa is extremely cynical, I don't think it was going that far with it's statement. I think the game was just about avoiding the trappings of thinking that you are completely justified in your beliefs or purpose that you are using for murder, as the tagline for the game's true route says:

これは英雄の物語ではない。
誰もが英雄ではいられない。
それでも誰もが戦っている。

Even if nobody can be a hero, we still gotta fight for what we believe in, right? I remember there was a conversation that Muramasa had with the blind kid from chapter 1 in the route which also lined up with that theme. It's been a while since I played Muramasa so I've kinda forgotten a lot of the details though, but that's what I got from it

[Anonymous No.]

>>35857085
No man not in power has ever thought a revolution actively improved his life, at least in the short-term. Look at the revolutions in the 18th and the 19th century and the decades of turmoil they brought with them.
And that's not entirely right, some revolutions are purely ideological in nature. There's a huge difference between economical struggles and brothers killing one another merely for ideals (or safety under the fire said revolutions brought) like they did in the Spanish civil war, for example.

[Anonymous No.]

>>35857105
>Even if nobody can be a hero, we still gotta fight for what we believe in, right?
You can only fight non-violently. If you choose violence, don't talk about fighting for a good cause, just commit that shit for your own selfish motives and accept that you're an 悪鬼.

>you are completely justified in your beliefs or purpose that you are using for murder, as the tagline for the game's true route says
You can't justify murder. That's the whole message of this VN.

[Anonymous No.]

>>35857149
Yeah, which is the point that the game is trying to make. Anyone that murders is a villain, but people still have to do it anyway. That was the whole point of that conversation that Muramasa had with the chapter 1 kid in the true route, the kid does not forgive Muramasa for murder but recognizes that she had a purpose for doing what she did, and urges her to keep following through with it.

[Anonymous No.]

>>35857184
That's just kageaki wanting someone to judge him and give him punishment. It's not supposed to be taken as muramasa's message.

To show there are normal people who sympathize with their ideals. It spends so much time trying to explore how ideals that require violence is ultimately hypocrisy that I don't think one single scene is going to change any of that.

[Anonymous No.]

>>35857318
He doesnt sympathize with Muramasa’s ideals though, he doesn’t even want to know what it is.

I just think Muramasa (the game, not the character) accepts the inevitability of violence and war more than you give it credit for, personally. I didn’t really get a hippie ‘the only way to resolve things in the world is through non-violence’ message from it. The game certainly ends on a message of nonviolence but it accepts that violence is something that is almost impossible to avoid

[Anonymous No.]

>>35857355
Actually thinking about it doesn’t the way Kageaki’s character arc ends also admit the inevitability of violence? Though the ending contrasts it with nonviolence as well with the scene at the very end with the little girl.

Man I can’t believe I’m up at like 2 AM thinking about Muramasa. I should go to sleep

[Anonymous No.]

>>35857355
It accepts violence as human, yes, but that doesn't absolve it from moral weight.
I think that's why that anon described the novel as nihilistic, and although I think he's taking things too far, it's also hard to entirely disagree with the thought.

There are a couple things I would smooth out in Ixrec's writing but it's not "ESL", and it's certainly much closer to the Japanese than Moogy's translation. The ideal translation is much closer to Ixrec's than Moogy's. This is why I can never trust people who talk about "localizing" or "conveying the appropriate meaning in the target language", it always just ends up as an excuse for the translator to do whatever they want and write fanfiction.

[Anonymous No.]

>>35863822
Read it as a whole instead of just comparing line by line with the Japanese. It sticks so close certain comparisons drawn seldom make sense and the script flows like shit in comparison.
It's not like Moogy's hilariously childish and stifled vocabulary actually does a much better job conveying the source language (though there's not much lost in translation, either), but it flows from sentence to sentence far more neatly.

[Anonymous No.]

>>35863913
>but it flows from sentence to sentence far more neatly.
Honestly how the text flows is so important and I have no idea how people don't notice this stuff. The flow from sentence to sentence, from paragraph to paragraph and so on. So many translations from jp to en don't have any flow at all and it's just sentence after sentence.

Translation is about providing BOTH accuracy and readability. Neither of those examples are particularly great, but between languages as incompatible as English and Japanese anything that provides the latter over the former is heavily welcome by any professional standards as long as it doesn't fuck with the intended impression the original is meant to give too harshly (which you could say moogy殿上様陛下御堂師範 does in this regard, his awkward wording actually fucks up the prose negatively).

Yes, this is something I couldn't understand with people who played VNs on, say, PSP or PS Vita consoles. At least on old PS1/PS2 VNs, you're going to have TV real estate to be able to read text. I guess it's fine for simple games directed to young audiences, where you're unlikely to have a lot of complex kanji to squeeze into a small space anyway.
>If you want portability inside your house you could probably just use some sort of screen share with a regular tablet/phone.
Text size and battery management become a chore at that point, and since I may want to reference text/multitask, it's just not practical. It's not like I'm trying to play ero VNs in public, but rather, trying to have a comfortable space where I don't need a big PC running and heating up my room just for a visual novel, text hooker, and dictionary. Ideally, I would just be reading VNs on a tablet PC with nothing else but occasionally a dictionary on my phone (slower than a texthooker) when I feel comfortable with that. I think that may be the ideal way to consume VNs in our modern age, frankly.
>>35866249
Yeah, maybe the Vita is the cut-off for comfortable text size since it has decent res and screen real estate for a portable. I have one, but I haven't played any VNs on it. I can't personally imagine going any smaller than that though, even for native-language texts. With that in mind, on the topic of tablet PCs, how do you personally feel about that as a main platform for consuming VNs compared to standard desktop/laptop PCs? Most VNs default to a low res window anyway, so I doubt screen size really matters all that much. Low system requirements 99.99% of the time as well. I wonder why it doesn't seem that popular in the VN enthusiast crowd. I will probably get one eventually and try it out myself.

It is okay.

I use this generic chink controller to handle input, I think it came with my Google Chinkboard? Checking the dictionary is a bit of a pain though.

How do you all personally settle between your route choices in a VN? I'm not sure of any potential common signs for knowing when something might lock you in or out of a specific route, as I'm still fairly new to the genre. So many respectable options to pick between, it's kind of troublesome to manage my choices. I'm currently at a scene where I can choose to hug someone or ask to hold their hand instead. I peeked a bit through both sequences, and the dialogue seems to be similar in some aspects, but tonally quite different.
>Pic related, the scene.
It's reasonable to say that the first choice will lead to a more intimate scene chain, but it will surely progress further from there. Who knows whether a single one of those choices may lock me into a route early on or not?

It seems you might be right. I peeked further into the more platonic hand-holding flow, and while it was certainly more tame, seems to lead up to the same second set of choices as the other option anyway. I will probably pick the hug route, but the simple hand-warming scene was really cute and heart-warming. It makes me want to play a VN where I can be a protective father or something.
>>35870230
I just want to do my best so I have an ideal experience here and going forward in other games. I am admittedly quite an indecisive person. You're likely correct that I'm putting too much thought into it considering the contents. Perhaps I'm just over-invested, and in a lolige of all things.

Completed Ayakashi with 100% CG/Scene, what a great VN. Route ranking:

Eimu > Hime > Pam > Orie

Orie route was the less climactic but the romance was cute. Eimu was the most hype as expected of the true heroine but a minor complaint she was the only heroine without blowjob scenes because she pretty much got penetrated non-stop in her two scenes back to back. Hopefully Ayakashi H will deliver in that aspect.

Muramasa's concept of "routes" is pretty loose. Still, if I recall correctly you had to get some bad endings to go into the true route so a guide is recommended.

[Anonymous No.]

>>35877563
Do NOT use a guide if you are on your first playthrough of Muramasa. There is no rec'd route order, since the true route is locked anyway. You can do the other two routes in any order

What's the difference? Does she do videos that show herself or something?

Her boss is just some autist and refuses to call herself and Himari vtuber.

To the Just Reading Chads here, at what point do you think you grasped reasonable comfort in reading most texts of your personal interest? Rather, how would you describe your progression over time learning in such a way? Linguistic acquisition has been going well for me, and I am not feeling any impatience as I'm enjoying the content I'm consuming. However, I'm curious what the shifts of experiences have been like for others doing the same sort of thing as me.

Personally, my vocabulary acquisition has been rather swell, with my grammatical understanding lagging behind at first, but picking up now. I'm finding non-particle grammatical structures to be pausing me in my reading sessions more than anything now. Despite their simplicity in every way, they tend to be some of the more difficult things for me to work with for whatever reason. Almost tempted to seek out some pre-made, mildly autistic Anki deck to jam out this small stuff, but I probably won't.To the Just Reading Chads here, at what point do you think you grasped reasonable comfort in reading most texts of your personal interest?

Many such cases with added voices with remade shitty drawings, specially pc-98 -> windows remakes. Elf company might be a prime example.

It will never stop.
At worst they will include """"NTR""" in one of their games so they face the same transformation as Elf.

I thought we actually dodged this trend somehow like that anon said earlier, but what the hell.

If that's what it takes for their games to stop being boring and formulaic then I'd take it.

Your loss. Most anons who used to post here are on private jop exclusive servers.

I'm confused, are people here just shitposting right now, or are there Disc groups where people are sharing rare VNs and actually discussing the games they're playing?

There's a lot of infighting, and some people went on to make their own servers which also allow EOPs. VN community on discord is just fragmented as fuck these days.
