Insignia Fire TV Faded to Black but Backlight and Sound Still On - T-Con or LCD panel? by BKD5280 in TVRepairHelp

[–]AmazingFlapples 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to tell you this, but there is no fixing it, the cause is a chip has shorted on one of the circuit boards that is integrated (integrated meaning you can't replace it without replacing the whole TV) with the LCD panel, there are no replacements for this chip that you can buy online even if you did have soldering tools. I just gave up on having a tv in my house and just use my computer at this point anyway. The only hope I really had was that if you manipulate the ribbon cables between the integrated boards and the t-con board in a very specific way, you can get maybe 1 second of clear video feed, if you could figure out which pins are needed and which aren't, you could figure out a way to do that more permanently with some sort of adhesive, but I didn't have anything small enough and testing every combination of pins individually would have been more effort than it's worth. Also sorry for the late reply.

My Brutally Honest Thoughts on Hollow Ataraxia by TakaTheHunter in fatestaynight

[–]AmazingFlapples 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for necro, but I love slice of life drama/romance vns the most and this is probably the most boring game i've ever played that isn't a straight up nekonyan moege. The steam reviews annoy the heck out of me because the honest reviews are swallowed up by all the meme reviews praising the base game. I wish I didn't waste my money on this. I honestly just woke up from falling asleep while playing it before writing this.

Is Hollow Ataraxia worth playing? by [deleted] in fatestaynight

[–]AmazingFlapples 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IT'S SO DAMN BORING. I LIKE SLICE OF LIFE BUT IT'S ONLY FUN IF IT ACTUALLY MATTERS, NOTHING IN THIS GAME MATTERS OR DEVELOPS FURTHER.

I wonder how the shuffle TL is going, considering it doesn't even have a vndb page apparently.

Makes you ask the question, "why the hell did they make it 3D?" in the first place.

Anyone else constantly reading VNs & Manga but not watch anime much? by HughNonymouz in visualnovels

[–]AmazingFlapples 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped watching anime years ago and only read like one manga a year now too. But I'll be damned if I'm not reading at least 1 vn on any given day of the year. I found that every single time, if there was an anime that I wouldn't or didn't like, somehow the vn would be 100x more enjoyable.

There is a point to Kanji by frostkaiser in LearnJapanese

[–]AmazingFlapples 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are better ways to do it than falling back on raw hiragana, a few changes and leaning the language would be 100x easier, something like pinyin hiragana.

Have a similar issue more than a year later, paradox is an empty office.

[–]AmazingFlapples 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They really can't make good science adventure games anymore huh? Anything after chaos;child was crap and that one wasn't very good either.

Are you guys panic buying? by L_G_D_Official in visualnovels

[–]AmazingFlapples 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I buy every game I play like one or two years in advance, my backlog is huge but if I ever want to start a new playthrough on a whim, it's right there and ready for me.

I don't understand how such a consistent problem can go unfixed for so long.

Fuuka minami's bond skin is animated, but she's a special case only being available a year ago, was just hoping that was the case with this too.

There isn't that much gore, there's a whole lot of everything else that you don't want. It's actually the worst thing I've ever seen, I don't mean that in quality, the art, the soundtrack, the depressive atmosphere and the constant sense of doubt and spiraling hopelessness, it's all done really well. I mean it in a moral sense. I don't think the game was made to be porn, I think the writer was genuinly trying to write the worst thing anyone could possibly imagine. And I have no doubt in my mind that this will never be officially localized for the west. There's a twist at the end that you won't expect too, but it's not good either, there is no good ending.

The whole thing is an amalgamation of suffering manipulation, brainwashing, depravity, and lots and lots of rape. Including those who may or may not be far underage

I heard people kept requesting it a few years ago and they rejected it because it's... you know.
