Bea said, April 06, 2013, 01:39:37 am[there's no non-religious argument anywhere]Yyyyeah many of the arguments in discussions on this side of the Atlantic have nothing to do with religion.Example 1 : homosexual couples gaining access to child adoption, care, support, and other similar rights will mean there's less money and such to be used to help heterosexual couples.Example 2 : legal papers won't be allowed to write "father" and "mother" but "parent A" and "parent B" which lessens the value and validity of heterosexual couples (it's a men-wounded-in-their-male-pride kind of thing, like "the normal way is being denied its existence").Of course those are bullshit arguments, but they're non-religious, and they're the kind of stuff people have against gay marriage over here (I've heard two co-workers say those examples out loud).
So me and Jesuszilla were competitively playing Katawa Shoujo against each other last night, and while Jesuszilla ragequitted because he got Lilly's (the blind girl) bad ending, I got Shizune's (the deaf/mute girl) good ending. And it surprised me. I mainly picked her for the shallow reason that she looked the most normal of all the girls, but then she was a total bitch to everyone and I was like "fuck I picked the wrong girl," and then as I progressed, her character seemed to be a lot more complex than I initially took it, and everything made alot more sense and her character development was so much better.I looked up how the bad ending goes (apparently I just have to change one thing in my route progression), and I almost don't have the heart to do it (even though I saved at just the point to get it).So does anyone have any good visual novel recommendations?!Spoiler: stuff I already read (click to see content)Saya no UtaJouka no Monshouand a bunch of shitty ones but they don't count
Chaos HeadSteins GateTsukihime(Melty Blood prequel)Heartache 101 was really good tooEdit:I just got the Kenji ending in Katawa Shoujo,in which he tries to kiss you and you fall from the roof and die.WTF?Im currently on the Rin route.....That should be interesting
SOUNDS LIKE MY CUESpoiler, click to toggle visibiltyyu-nosymphonic rainsharin no kunihanachirasu/kikokugai... though you might want to wait a while due to jast/n+ shenanigans/spoiler]these are currently the titles with actual quality for english only plebs. other titles may vary depending your tolerance for not so good translations (takajun, ixrec, mangagameeeerrr)
Also someone told me Ever17 and Fate/Stay Night are really good,but i did not try em out,so no guarantees
the only one I have played is umineko, I nwoudl also reccomend muvluv but for those two you have toget through a lot of shit to get to the good parts.
3DPDGwell, the only non-type-moon vn's i've played are kirakira and my girlfriend is the president. i've nevr finished neither one but not because they were bad but becasue of my inability to stay focused on somethingkira kira is good for what i played the story was good and i really liked the characters interactions (also, DAT MUSIC). plus the mc is not a complete beta-one-dimensaional-sock-puppet for people to self insert themselves in the story, for starters he already has a girlfriend at the beginning of the game... and the first thing you see is that he gets dumped (but it was because he gave zero fucks about her). and be prepared for long-ass explanations about punk culture but by the time you reach the end you'll be ready to be a:Spoiler: PUNK ROCKER! (click to see content)as for my girlfriend is the presindent, well is moslty comedy and you can pretty much understand what it's about by watching the official trailer yes, the japanese trailer is in english!
... wowwas i the only one expecting for something to happen like him running out of pokeballs, his SP dying on him or his save file getting corrupted?
YEAAAAAAAAAAH YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH YEEEEEEEAAAAAAH YEAAAHAHAHAAI've never found a shiny pokemon in my life
I don't even know the last time I saw a shiny Pokemon. I can vaguely remember seeing one in GSC way back in high school in the early 2000s but I'm pretty sure I encountered at least one in RSE.I haven't encountered even one single shiny in DPPt and BWB2W2. Despite how they're supposed to be easier to get nowadays.
I've only seen a legit shiny pokemon once, it was a Golem on Emerald's Battle Frontier.The whole shiny thing sounds like a massive waste of time (even with rng abuse) for a rather shitty effect.
Sometimes it's nice, like a black charizard, other times it's pretty fucking stupid as the colors are barely noticeable, like Garchomp.
I'll just load up my Action Replay with "Shiny Pokemon every encounter" and make a video saying I encountered 60,316 Wild Pokemon before I found a Shiny Onix.Even then, I should upload it to the GTS and ask for a Level 1 Rashiram!But realistically, my Brother recently found a Shiny Geodude and didn't give a shit.
