Maybe I just have high standards b/c I study literature, but the prose in F/SN is really inexcusably bad. Some parts are the result of the translation, but others (like the godawful repetitiveness) cannot be. I think the sexual violence is actually falsely represented as the only misogynist stuff in F/SN. Even w/o it, that series is sexist. Nasu has stated in interviews that his idea for the Fate route was Saber "discovering her femininity" through bangin' Shirou, which is, um- -kindaaaaa a super sexist proposition. Man writing about WHAT IS FEMININITY. Turns out badass King Arthur is a sad little girl inside. ): It's not just the sex scenes, it's bad attitudes about women & sex implicit from the game's worldview. "No ideological bias" is really just code for "conforms with the dominant ideological bias." We live in air so it's invisible. Review "without ideological bias" is the new "objective" review.

I think it's some le epic reference in the background or something, since it seems a lot of characters from nitroplus VNs make an appearance in Muramasa

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

Fucking Rewrite.
I love everything from the visuals, to the music, to the writers, to the setting, to the characters. Yet I still can't say I enjoyed it very much. It gives me that feeling of nostalgia that my favorite VNs give me, but it never even reached near that point. These mixed feelings are very weird, and it doesn't help to see how everyone loves it apparently.
Adam Lewis
love? that steaming pile of shit is the worst think I've dragged myself through, literal kusoge

Maybe it's the story? It's a hit and miss for most of the route and it didn't really get good until Moon.
>music >nothing memorable You can bash everything about Rewrite but cmon the soundtrack was great

The point is to get only a little tipsy an d then maintain that state for as long as possible. If you get too drunk time goes too fast and you won't remember shit in the morning and you'rr have a terrible hangover. For example for me it comes to about 20 small (33 cl) or 13 big (50 cl) beers for the day to just keep that good feeling going which greatly increases enjoyment of all things. However I have very high tolerance so you need to calculate the optimal amount for your blood-alcohol level by estimating your body composition and adjust it on the fly. Also you need to still maintain focus on VNs and shitposting or you'll just end up browsing /pol/ for 10 hours and complaining about things.
Robert Fisher
meikyuu? Damn I'm tempted now was going to watch some anime but now..... guess time to become a shut in till i finish it, grand route forst or the others first?

I have to say, if that first Amane sex scene in Meikyuu is supposed to be a joke, then they did it right, because i'm laughing my ass off.

You may be an alcoholic, user. Do you browse Veeky Forums?
Nolan Wilson
Alright im in lol.
Jace Perez
I do not. Also I'm not an alcoholic since I drink only about 52 times per year.
Oliver Jones
I LIKE LOLIS! REMEMBER TO ASK FOR MORE LOLIGE IN MANGAGAMER'S POLL!
Sebastian Flores
There is literally nothing wrong with that.
desu having a high alcohol tolerance is more like a curse

It's a gift and a curse.

How's the VN some guys translated to finnish?
Benjamin Thomas
It was great, actually. I guess it's just weird for amateurs to translate something to Finnish since spoken and written Finnish are very different as opposed to Japanese or English and that makes it a little awkward at places. Like two different languages, almost. Spoken and writeen Finnish, I mean.
Carson Johnson
The nukige with vampire Mafuyu? It's a nukige with vampire Mafuyu.
Brandon Roberts
What exactly do you mean by that? Are they different because of coloquialisms and such? Or is it just a conventional type of thing?
Hudson Carter
That's deep.
Henry Martinez
anyone here "playing" vns without any japanese knowledge and only using google translate?
Daniel White
Well many of the words are different and used differently and the strict and numerous rules of the language are not followed in favor of a more straightforward language. Also there are at least 7 distinct dialects. For a language of ~5 million. This is why many foreigners doubt the language actually exists at all instead of just being a big meme and why no foreigner has ever learned it.
Nolan Gray
I see. Praise Tenri.
Dylan Smith
I'm currently reading End of Golden Witch and holy fuck does Erika annoy me. Not only her character, but how much out of place she feels. I guess it's part of the idea with the witches taking over Beato and Battler's game, but it's still very frustrating.
Parker Garcia
Why is Chaos Head such a clusterfuck? Now that I think of it, it was a miracle that 5 years ago I was able to install the game and play it without a hitch. Now I'm on Windows 8.1, directx installed, CCCP installed and yet the sound in cutscenes still fucking refuse to play itself for some indiscernible reasons.
Camden Torres
Japs can't code well. I can easily still play western games from the 90s but any jap pc games from over 3 years ago are massive fucking bugfests and shitheaps.
Brandon Stewart
Literally and mentally.
John Morales
Probably for console ports to the vita.

Jack Stewart
That reminded me, how completed is the Chaos;Head Noah patch on android?
Luis Nguyen
No, I voted for Fate/Stay Night, Majikoi and White Album 2.
Ryder Howard
I voted for Koiken Otome, Please Bang My Wife 2: Electric Boogaloo and Rondo Duo.
Joseph Bennett
You noticed that but not >other ?
Brody Morgan
No, I'll vote for it next year if any of these get translated.
Jeremiah Robinson
Maybe he's a Manbearpig himself.

>drink alcohol or take drugs >immediately feel like death >nervous system immediately fucks with me And then I promptly go lights fuckin out just short of a heart attack.
Keep drinking the dream my friend.
Colton Russell
I've never taken any drugs besides some ibuprofen a few times. Why do people have such a hard time believeing that I do not have any kind of substance abuse problem and with careful calculations calibrated over a few years I can keep the ethanol content of my blood steadily on such a level that I feel good for several hours instead of getting blackout drunk?
Adrian Nelson
sounds like a grand old time honestly
Josiah Lewis
Fuck off, you cis white man.
Lincoln Walker
>some retard is telling people to ask for fate in mangagamer's poll Is it too much to expect people not to go through this retarded dance every year?
Jeremiah Roberts
I have a Steins;Gate question.
Did Lukako only want to become a girl because he loves Okabe?
Benjamin James
because people are retards who don't know that some folks can get a feel for how their body works, or that everybody who drinks can't measure how drunk they are.
Its lovely. At least it tells me its fucking with my blood pressure via screwing with my nervous system and sending nonsense spikes along my arms rather than just making my feet numb.
Once, I passed out twice just worrying if I was missing a regular appointment with my neurologist. Not injuries or fucking with my system via drugs.
Anyways reading Yuuji's past in meikyuu is turning out to be a fun ride.
Anthony Nguyen
Yes
Jaxson Butler
No
Chase Rogers
Yeah, it's not really a gender identity thing, he's not trans. He was just uncomfortable in his body and this was made worse because he wanted to fug the Okarin.
Caleb Cook
my condolences user
hope you get better
Juan Lopez
>it's not really a gender identity thing, he's not trans. > He was just uncomfortable in his body
What's the difference?
Sebastian Turner
Trans are mentally ill freaks, whereas Luka only wishes he was a girl so Okabe might love him back. Depending on who you ask, that could be classed as mental illness, too.
