rtil is drawing some hana tomorrow

for Rin

For headpatting Hana

...

I just noticed that this wallpaper has the girls in the order I played their routes, neat
What order did y'all play the different routes on?

shizune, hanako, rin, lilly, emi

Since the thread is still fresh, one for Mish!

Lilly!

why is she so perfect. why would four leaf studios taunt us with literal perfection that we can never achieve. what kind of sick fucking joke is this?

it isn't fair. it just isn't fair...

I wan't to see if the game had a "default girl" route or a "bad end" so I got Kenji first. I have to admit I was surprised the game had one.
After that it was
Emi>Rin>Lilly>Hanako>Shizune

Emi, Shizune, Hanako, Lilly, Rin

Emi first because of course she would be,

Shizune next because I like a good dom,

Then Hanako because she's a solid character,

Lilly next because I thought she'd be boring, and how wrong I was.

Rin because I thought she'd have the most interesting route when she ended up with the worst Hisao instead.

I found Rin first, then did Shizune, Lily and Hanako
I still haven't done Emi

Emi, Hana, Lilly, Shiz, Rin

ok

...

...

I felt the same way at first. But this is seriously the wrong way to go about things. You should be inspired to find someone who makes you feel the same way, and is actually real. Work for that and think about that instead; it isn't healthy to be that obsessed with your waifu.

this

but what if we are physically and/or mentally incapable of doing that?

Are you really incapable ? My condolences if you truly are, but I would say most people are capable of self improvement and finding a gf.

This is just a "tfw no gf" general.

Do you realize how retarded that statement is? Do you even have any comprehension how stupid you sound right now? Did you even bother reading any of the posts in this fucking thread? This is a "tfw no cripple gf" general, dumbass.

Only if you want it to be

Praise the Sun burn !

Rin!

Cute wallpaper. I stumbled into Emi's, then aimed for Shizune, Rin, Hanako, Lilly and then Kenji just to 100%.

This. 99% of the time anyone says they can't do anything they really mean 'It is hard/scary/new so I won't try'

I have a gf. Do you?

>You will never pound Lilly into paste to mould into an unsavoury viscoelastic ball.
Why even live?

I haven't given up I just haven't had any time to work on it.
I'm also think I need to focus less on setups and segues and just focus on the lewd.

boop

Does a non-troll version of this exist?

hey /ksg/ I was recently thinking about something.

Did "feels" originate from katawa shoujo threads? For some reason I was thinking about this, and for the life of me i keep thinking back to the threads weeks before release talking how it will be less hard porn and more emotionally endearing stories with also porn, and from what I remember "that hit my feels" came from talking about the demo and hypothetical story arcs.

So can anyone confirm or deny this?

GIB QT KATAWA GF

>This. 99% of the time anyone says they can't do anything they really mean 'It is hard/scary/new so I won't try'
>I have a gf. Do you?

as usual, normalscum doesnt know what hes talking about.

Check the Hanako site. Or google it.

I'm certain feels existed before KS but have no evidence.

>normies are bad REEEE
>why no gf???
What's stopping you then?

you would never understand normie. true suffering is beyond your comprehension

just do me a favour and dont sit there talking about "lol its so easy to do whatever you want, you just dont want to do it because you're too lazy/scared" when you have no idea what you're talking about

Four years ago I was a fat and lazy loser headed towards being a NEET. I didn't care about my lack of friends and having no gf, and my loneliness never bothered me because I had anime and vidya to distract me. Then I played ks and realised what I was missing out on, and how much I wanted a gf. I knew I had to change my life and fell for the self improvement meme. For me, most of the work was becoming Veeky Forums and actually getting some direction and goals in my life. It took me two years but I eventually found a loving qt gf.

>true suffering is beyond your comprehension
>you have no idea what you're talking about
I wasn't born with a gf user. You can avoid being honest and say I'll never understand (Do you really think your experiences are unique and incomprehensible?) but it won't help you get what you want. If you have a physical condition, I can understand. Mental, you CAN get over it. I say this as someone who probably has felt what you feel now. Sure, it is hard and not an overnight process, but your mind is your mind and that means you can change it. The Katawas got over crippling introversion, traumatic car crashes, being blind, nearly burning alive, overcoming language barriers, is it so impossible for you to overcome your anxiety/depression?
This guy made it. You can to.

Please explain why it's supposedly impossible for you. Are you overweight? Are you a NEET loser or a shutin? How many friends to you have? The best way to meet girls is through mutual friends. You have to actually talk to and approach women. Unlike in anime and katawa shoujo, qts are never going to magically appear and approach/fall in love with you, and they generally aren't attracted to NEETs.

Dot

I'll make you a list, shall I?

>Agoraphobia
I have not left my house for anything besides government (read: neetbux) appointments in 4 years. It's only gotten worse since my mum canceled all the plans I had made to try getting into school, kicked me out of the house and sent me to live with my dad in the middle of bumfuck nowhere.

>Extreme social anxiety
It's hard enough for me to talk to people I *do* know. When I have to talk to a stranger, I open my mouth but nothing comes out no matter how hard I try and force it, and I end up sitting in silence painfully aware that I'm supposed to be answering them but just can't.

>How many friends do you have?
I've never had any friends. Not in school and not now, and it's impossible for me to make any friends now because, for the foreseeable future, I am living in a rural caravan park where the only other residents are alcoholic 50 year olds.

>Absolutely zero support from fucking anyone
The worst part imo. People tell me all the time how they 'want me to get better', but no one, not my mum, not my dad, not a single person has ever actually tried to help me. Even when I wanted to and was actively trying to get help.

I remember the first time I tried to tell my mother that I think I might have an anxiety problem. She called me a liar, told me that I was just lazy and, very clearly I remember, called me a 'millstone around her neck, or a burden

Even later, after I had stopped going to highschool in year 11, and had been formally diagnosed with an anxiety disorder, she still did nothing. She had people from some fucking mental hospital come into my room and wake me up once (with a fucking cop escorting them just for the extra scarring), where they told me that they'd like me to come with them to the hospital at a later time for an evaluation. To make a long story short, I asked my mum at least 3 times to call them back so we could follow up on that, and she never did a damn thing, and my dad is much of the same.

>Unlike in anime and katawa shoujo, qts are never going to magically appear and approach/fall in love with you, and they generally aren't attracted to NEETs.

Now I have a firm grasp of the obvious. No shit Chad, did you figure that all out by yourself?

>The Katawas got over crippling introversion, traumatic car crashes, being blind, nearly burning alive, overcoming language barriers

the katawas are also fictional characters in a visual novel which was written to have a happy ending. i dont really think their experiences applicable here.

Due to dropbox storage limitations I had to convert everything to .jpgs. However since MEGA has a very generous 50GB free storage I've included a .txt file with a link to the xboxhuge .png zips/archives.
The .webm files are still in the dropbox.

Seriously, ignore the cunts here posting "just b urself, act confident and hit the gym bro, it's easy to get a gf" garbage. You should try to see a therapist. If you can't get help, it would probably do you good to get out of the house a bit and try to talk to people, even if you hate it. It will be hard and painful at first but it gets easier.

ive been going outside to take long, secluded walks in the fire trails in the jungle around the park where i live, but theres no one here to talk to. the closest person to my age is still probably 20 years older

>Agoraphobia
Lived as a recluse for 6/7 years. Going outside can still give me issues. Guess how I got over and live with it:
>ive been going outside to take long, secluded walks
Wow, you read my mind.
>Extreme Social Anxiety
Two for two so far, the solution lies in the problem. Small talk does wonders. Common ground is the weather, you can literally bluff knowing about sports, waiting for a bus, whatever. You can do it.
>How many friends do you have?
Lucky number three, because I didn't have any for a long time either. This is the only thing so far that seems dictated by geography but if you have the time to cripplepost on Veeky Forums you have the time to go somewhere with less alcoholics. Quality > quantity.
>Absolutely zero support from fucking anyone
I can relate to this too. People will say platitudes but not actually help because they can't or won't. It sucks. I bet even you are guilty of doing it too though, most everyone is. Your mom doesn't sound supportive, so it is probably better you left. Is there a chance you can get therapy like another user has suggested?
>the katawas are also fictional characters in a visual novel which was written to have a happy ending.
Yes they are fictional but that doesn't mean people in real life haven't got over their anxiety, their language barriers (my parents are deaf and they are functional as are all their deaf friends), their missing limbs, their traumatic pasts. 4LS didn't make up these things. They exist in the real world.
>ignore the cunts here posting "just b urself, act confident and hit the gym bro, it's easy to get a gf" garbage
But that isn't wrong. Going to the gym can reduce depression and improve self-confidence as well as improved health and appearance, all attractive traits.
>It will be hard and painful at first but it gets easier.
This is true.

The self improvement stuff alone can't help everyone, but I think it should work for most people on /ksg/ who cry about tfw no gf, given that they're mostly fat NEETs who never go outside or interact with people. (Kenji and fluff immediately come to mind).

>solve ur crippling fear of people looking at you while you're outside by walking alone outside in the wilderness for a few hours
wowee.

>Small talk does wonders. Common ground is the weather, you can literally bluff knowing about sports, waiting for a bus, whatever.
wow thanks Chad, why didn't I ever think about just going up and talking to someone! It's all so clear to me now.

>if you have the time to cripplepost on Veeky Forums you have the time to go somewhere with less alcoholics.
this is without a doubt the most retarded thing I have ever read on this website. where am i going to get the fucking MONEY to move somewhere else, huh? where would i go? how would i do it in the first place? retard.

>But that isn't wrong. Going to the gym can reduce depression and improve self-confidence as well as improved health and appearance, all attractive traits.
this whole fucking paragraph just exudes normie-ignorance

thank you for once again proving that you have got no idea what you are talking about. it is not as easy as "dude just go out and talk to people lol", "dude just go to the gym bro", and if you think otherwise then you are literally just a who cannot comprehend that not everyone lives life on easymode where they can just 'go out and talk to people'

you act like you're some fucking expert, throwing out pseudo-experienced phrases like "no it wont be easy but nothing in life is ever easy" but the actual, real reality is that for some people it is next to fucking impossible, but as i said, you literally cannot comprehend such a state of existence

nothing you say is helpful. nothing you say is smart. nothing you say is true.

Goodnight, KSG.
I love each and every one of you.

Just shower and go to the gym bro. It's easy to get girls, just be confident!

t. CHAD xD normie REEEEE

>pic related implying you have to be a celebrity adonis to talk to women
>solve ur crippling fear of people looking at you while you're outside by walking alone outside in the wilderness for a few hours
That will improve your agoraphobia numbnuts.
>wow thanks Chad, why didn't I ever think about just going up and talking to someone! It's all so clear to me now.
So fucking do it until it gets easier?
>where am i going to get the fucking MONEY to move somewhere else
Your autism bux, right? Or get a job, you NEET.
>where would i go?
Where you want to go?
>how would i do it in the first place?
Hmm, no idea how you might earn money. No idea at all.
>this whole fucking paragraph just exudes normie-ignorance
Its official, years of scientific study is 'normie-ignornace'.
>not everyone lives life on easymode
>you literally cannot comprehend such a state of existence
If you could see what I posted, you'd realise that I didn't always live life 'on easymode'. I am living proof you can do it.
>you act like you're some fucking expert, throwing out pseudo-experienced phrases like "no it wont be easy but nothing in life is ever easy"
But that's true. You have to work for things to get easy. You know what work is, right?

Your problems are made worse by your insistence on amplifying your 'crippling' problems. If you could look past them, you would see that, like me, like fucking ANYONE who has had the same experiences, they are smaller than you think and easier to get over than you know. The biggest thing stopping you from getting better is YOU.

>pic related
The irony of this is the main character of Fight Club was a socially anxious person who took control of his life, albeit in a destructive way, which is something you NEETs deny being possible.

>dude just talk to people lol its easy
>dude just get a job lol its easy
>dude just go to the gym lol its easy

if you werent a normalfaggot then you wouldnt be saying retarded shit like this in the first place because you'd already know its not true.

So have you just given up completely? Abandoned all hope of a better life, moving out of the shithole you live in and the thought of getting a gf? I would rather have tried and failed to fix things than have wasted my life wallowing in my own self pity and sadness.

Its easier to give up than to try which ironically is another theme of Katawa Shoujo.

I feel for this user and I'm sure his anxiety is a very real problem. It isn't his fault. In the case of /ksg/'s many fat NEET losers, especially the tripfags like fluffandcrunch and kenji, it is 100% their fault that they're lonely, and they seem completely oblivious to the fact that they have the ability to do something about it.

Dear user
I don't know, how much you'll appreciate my message because of my language barrier or if it will help you, but lemme say some things:
At first I'm very sorry for your circumstances, I only have a mother with physical problems and I'm also responsable for her maintenance, but at least she loves me.
Life doesn't suck, this game of life we're playing does. Ideals become bigger than altruism, nobody wants to realize, that every human is a variation of yourself, just looking for fortune and love.
There won't be any freedom with an elite mindset, without equality. That's why depressions are common: They explain you the failure of this world.
I'm an Italian guy, who was born and now lives in Switzerland. Here, after the middle school, you already attend a apprenticeship, highschool doesn't exist here. When I visited the middle school for the first week, I got scared for my life: People being insulting like never before, they were smoking, even consuming crystal meth. I had a hard time and my only friend was a 'overweight' girl in the class, who was being bullied.
I struggled for years, protecting myself with only her as my friend and almost got a bone fracture by them, indeed I gave 2 people almost a jaw fracture.
And it's not just 'school shit', I thought I would be demoralized for my Life. Now she's a very talented mangaka who assists me at some projects.
I may not be a philantropist who can guarantee you success, but if you don't mind to trust a random stranger on the internet, i would create a fake mail and maybe have a discussion with you? I was a very timid person with anxiety problems too, until I had to change because of my unbearable circumstances. I became eloquent and got enough ambitions to distract me from my fears, until I forgot them.
If you refuse to mail me: May you find the right way, hedonism isn't one.
Make yourself proud. Don't limit yourself, your lifestory isn't doomed to be crap, you just need to train to write it better.

February 16, 2016 - Katawa Shoujo General #2927
257 days and 261 generals pass | growth rate: 1.015 generals per day
October 30, 2016 - Katawa Shoujo General #3188
255 days and 145 generals pass | growth rate: 0.568 generals per day
July 12, 2017 - Katawa Shoujo General #3333
28 days and 11 generals pass | growth rate: 0.392 generals per day
August 9, 2017 - Katawa Shoujo General #3344

only about a month since the previous observation, the growth rate of KSGs has slowed by another 31%.
as such, in the next 28 day period, 0.270 generals ought to be produced, putting us on general #3352 (rounded up) in september
in the 28 day period afterward, assuming a linear decline of the growth rate, 0.186 generals will be produced, putting us on general #3357 in november

december, 0.128, #3361
january '18, 0.088, #3363
february, 0.060, #3365
march, 0.042, #3366
april, 0.029, #3367

but it is likely that the decline accelerates even further. eventually, posting in KSGs will slow down to such an extent that threads wil longer be able to remain on the front page, eclipsed by more vital sub-subcommunities.

Maths is for gaylords

just thought i should let you guys know youre living in the end times

Thank god for that.

Seriously once KSG is down hopefully cripple posters will start to change.

sad emotions only

Shit, I remember when I last math'd in the general. I said something like "there needs to be at least 260 image posts per day if we're going to reach #3500 by December"
We've come so far, haven't we?

I think it's safe to bet that things are probably gonna slow down to a stop before 2018. But I've been wrong before about this place...

gee, man
how am I going to get in touch with ksg people when ksg dies...

When it dies, you won't want to.

I don't really get it, but okay

When /ksg/ dies a bunch of people here would probably just migrate to the /vn/ threads. It'll be fine

I've just considered this
like, I shall advance in my weebhood and start playing some other vn for change

Join the discordcirclejerks

Good

Eighty sixth for Saki

>the end
Shut up, Bitch

is /ksg/ a /u/ friendly general?

of course

she deserved better

>you will never sleep with Hanako
>you will always go to sleep alone and unloved

...

...

That's kinda sad, I wish I had found out about this game when it was still popular (I knew about it for a few years prior to this but I never got around to downloading it until last week)
But, then again, I was still pretty young when the game came out so maybe that's for the best

I don't think, this general will ever be definitely dead.

...

ks forums are still there, anyway

people willing to be in touch could go there to get contacts

I hope I'm not the only one here willing to do that

...

...
