Maybe because in "human culture" the plague and living pass 20 was not possible. So why paint the story that we could live happily ever after if just tripping on a puddle could end you just like that? You faggots literally always do this, NEVER UNDERSTAND CONTEXT. You NEVER understand WHY shit was different back then and just think: IT USE TO BE, THEREFORE IT ALWAYS SHOULD BE!

I was raised in a world that wanted to have happy endings and positivity. Note how the 2010s introduced the most anti 2000s era of entertainment we've seen in over 50 years? Because my era enjoyed the 70s/80s content of "WOAH FUN IS AWESOME DUDE" while the 2000s kids just got a wift of anime for the first time, and the 60s fags grew up from fucking WW2 and stock market crashing. Of course kids stories back then were mentally ill, they had NO HOPE back then. So they painted shit as realistic as possible. The kids didn't LIKE that and grow up not doing what their parents did and made the RADICAL era Sonic STARTED with. The dark era was just a reflex from the boomers using what THEY grew up with, which was dark stories, hence why shit like SatAM happened. But then anime became popular, so combine that with boomers of the mid 1900s and viola, SA2 was born.

That does NOT mean this is what Sonic "always was". Sonic 1 was NEVER like this. Sonic 2 was NEVER like this. CD made it clear NOT to let that shit happen for a GOOD future. S3K had stakes, you FIXED them and got a GOOD ending. SA2 to Black Knight was just boomers lamenting shittier times and zoomers like yourself growing up thinking that was life. Despite life in the 1990s-2000s was the best it's been for humanity in all of humanity at that point. Now your kind and the boomers in their 80s have shat it all up again with your edge culture by bringing so much political shit into EVERYTHING no one can have fun anymore. Why do you think evenyone memes now? Because we are tired of things being shitty for no reason. Just liven up ffs.

>how is the script more accurate?

Tomato says it's better

Again, how is it more accurate?
I can remember one specific example.
When you first meet Setzer, in the Woolsey translation he says "The Empire has made me a rich man"
The original Japanese is more like "The Empire has been bad for business"
I don't think it makes a huge difference either way. In fact I like the idea that Setzer would throw away a lucrative relationship with the Empire over a (rigged) coin toss.

Provide specific examples of translation differences that cause you to prefer the GBA script.

True self control is committing to the genuine experience and not compromising by paying each other, or keeping the money for whatever reason. If you think it's easy to just throw the money out, you're wrong; it's difficult. But I spent it on the game, so it's not mine to keep anymore. It keeps me far more serious about winning, and it makes every victory and defeat so much more soulful, earned, and incredible feeling.

Besides, those people need to learn how to help themselves. Giving them money is just enabling them to continue sucking on my delicious, quarter-y teat.

Also, it's impossible to buy a cup of coffee with quarters that you put into an arcade machine. You know why? Because they're in the arcade machine. Can't use them anymore. You already spent them. It's the same principle.

It encourages the player to try new things and discover secrets. When you find them, it feels like a huge sigh of relief, and you feel really accomplished. It also encouraged kids to talk about rumors and secrets they've found, so there was a big social element to it before social media was a thought in anyone's mind. There are many things to appreciate about it, but maybe you had to actually grow up during that time to fully appreciate it. That's why I hate zoomers on this board, because they compare later experiences to these older ones without the context of what it was like to actually be there. Make sense?

Video games are nowhere near as nuanced and interesting as books. Fuck off.

No.

Yes you can. In fact, if you want to play electric, it's better to start on an electric so you fundamentally understand proper string muting techniques, get used to the muscle memory of how an electric feels, practice techniques like pinch harmonics that sound like shit on an acoustic, and the like. Headphone amps are totally a thing, Guitar Rig is about 50$ new, plug your shit into your computer, get an ASIO4ALL driver, and play glorious rock music.

Forgive my autism on this and I want to preface by saying I'm not one of the brain-damaged culture warriros on twitter or those waifufags who thinks seeing some shit art of their waifu getting blacked means they're getting cucked. You want to know what the real issue with Valis X is? It's not that it's porn, but it was nothing more than a cheap cash-in that had no respect to the series or its fans.

In theory, a Valis game that upped the ecchi elements could've easily worked. Hell, maybe an outright eroge could've worked. But judging from what >>6015932 posted it was obvious that Eants just saw an attempt to make some cheap nukige and hope that horny otaku could fall for it, but obviously they didn't bite because Eants didn't even try to hide their real intentions here. And what's worse this wasn't some sort of doujin thing, it was supposed to be the direction of the canon series.

To put how insane that would be, it would be as if for some reason Asanagi suddenly owned the Senran Kagura series and decided to make the series like his Victim Girls doujins. Not even the most cumbrain damaged coomer would pay money for it and Marvelous would rather have the series die out than to have that happen.

Like I'm pretty sure there is "official" Senran Kagura porn out there made by the official artists but there's no way in hell that will never come into light unless they die. I think they know that there's a certain line with the series that they cannot cross, and yeah obviously fans are gonna make porn and shit, but they know that they themselves can't cross that line.

tl;dr Eants and Telenet a shit.

Prove it, with actual evidence or fuck off to the Nblood Discord.
