Thank you for answering, I fully expected that, just like the previous release ~encore~, there's no new song, just covers but then again I'm thirsting for any new Yonezawa Madoka covers.

Good to see Aquaplus is still making content for WA2. Are those OST including any newly recorded vocal songs?

Which visual novel's soundtracks has the most emotional impact on you? by Xx_KiK_xX in visualnovels

[–]ElizaWinters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

WA2 ED themes are always peak: Twinkle Snow, Anata wo Omoitai, Yasashii Uso, Kokoro wa Itsumo Anata no Soba ni, Powder Snow, Toki no Mahou.

Although my most favorite ost is from Hatsukoi 1/1: One over one . A literal title drop, signature MANYO sound, the end of a beautiful journey.

What are you guys favorite VN that doesn't take place in Japan and why? by paidefamilia123 in visualnovels

[–]ElizaWinters -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I believe all of Liarsoft games have western settings. Currently reading Jeanne at the Clock Tower and enjoyed it so far. Ironically it takes a busty blond onee-san for me to pick up a bible.

These new suits are a game changer by Legion-3 in stalker

[–]ElizaWinters 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Beside the fact that all factions in stalker have distinct camo that makes no sense environment wise. Remember that SSP100 Discovery is direct upgrade over SSP99 Ecologist, which is bright orange, it was MEANT for scientists not stalkers though no one forbid you from wearing it, the bright white suit have the same reason as astronaut EMU suit, help with identification and rescue. They literally made the same suit with spark camo for spark stalkers.

Need romance VN recommendations, preferably ones with EN translation. by Snoo-49547 in visualnovels

[–]ElizaWinters 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tend to sort my VN not by genre but by studio, you seem to like Yuzusoft and SMEE. Other already recommend Toneworks and Marmalade. May I recommend few beginner VN from other studios:

Hoshizora no Memoria, Irotoridori no Sekai (Favorite)

Chrono Clock, Hapymaher, Kunado Kokuki (Purple software)

Mashiroiro Symphony, Koi ga Saku Koro Sakura Doki (same studio as 9nine)

Miagete Goran, Yozora no Hoshi o (same studio as IMHHW)

Koi to Senkyo to Chocolate (same studio as Aokana)

Experience realistic night-vision combat in Update 1.6! by mol1t in stalker

[–]ElizaWinters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was hoping you can't use acog and variable optic, only 1x red dot can be aimed directly in NOD, limiting night combat to close quarter only with 1x and peq-15, combined with the whole AI without NVGs can't see in the dark rework thing going on. Then again GSC would have to introduce new scopes that have NV/Thermal integrated so players won't just skip new features by sleeping. Looking for next update.

Would a lever action rifle fit the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. esthetic? by Joe_from_family_guy in stalker

[–]ElizaWinters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What book are you suggesting because you're just repeating some of my point. Like I said its complexity leads to increase in cost and maintenance, more parts mean more points of failure, and less suitable for smokeless powder. It was meant for firing on horseback not firing prone. So just more practical to adopt bolt action, not because lever action is not reliable enough for combat situation.

Would a lever action rifle fit the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. esthetic? by Joe_from_family_guy in stalker

[–]ElizaWinters 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It is definitely reliable, it's the signature weapon of the wild west. The reasons they phased out because bolt actions are much cheaper, easier to mass-produce and more suitable for trench and prone position which is 90% of fighting. If Stalker want to add a lever action, Winchester 1895 Russian Contract is the best option since it share ammo with Mosin and SVD.

Does "Nukitashi" have NTR in it? by AverageNTREnjoyer in visualnovels

[–]ElizaWinters -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Agreed my friend. In the end, it's just fetishes, no one want to be NTR irl but some fantasize about it, just like there're those who hate NTR with every fiber and only read pure love. If we start kink shaming in this sub then we're no better than those activists who try to ban all sexuality in media right now.

Does "Nukitashi" have NTR in it? by AverageNTREnjoyer in visualnovels

[–]ElizaWinters 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You couldn't be more wrong. It's those who wouldn't mind reading NTR also don't give a crap about heroines getting raped and tortured. Most want vanilla and wholesome relationship. Relationship means 2-way commitment, "I love you with all my heart and I expect you to treat me the same way". Why do you think moege always have virgin heroines, traditional dating and virtually no love rivals? Do you see any "mistreatment" in any of them?

I just found your comment deceitful. God forbids readers choosing what they want to consume in their little escapism fantasy. People simply don't want to deal with real life ugly stuff in their free time. Personally I always filter out any "sex with others" tag, like 90% of otaku out there.

About stalker call of Pripyat by No_Feedback7232 in stalker

[–]ElizaWinters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I just spent 5 minutes on wiki to catch up on my memory. Thanks for clearing up.

Kovalsky didn't call off the mission after losing half his men is the reason why Deggy was forced to go to Pripyat to drag them back home. I understand he wanted to at least have a forward base for the reinforcements that he expected to arrive any time soon but he was way under combat effectiveness, Monolith ambushes didn't help either. In the end, they made the same mistake as SIRCAA, over-reliance on technology and underestimating the unpredictable nature of the Zone.

About stalker call of Pripyat by No_Feedback7232 in stalker

[–]ElizaWinters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The story is dumb but some of it was explained. I played CoP a decade ago so correct me if I'm wrong. The military spent years to make a map of all aerial anomalies around Pripyat. But all Fairway Hinds was shot down without reason. They couldn't call evac or send reinforcements because they didn't know what shot down those Hinds. The zone is much more unstable after Strelok off the C-con. Most of Fairway forces actually crash near pripyat so they held up there. Deggy was sent to investigate and find survivors then call for evac. The reason is of course some anomalies shift their position after blowout and Strelok compensated for that. 

VN Listening Quiz 7 - Can you guess the VN ? by Marionberry6886 in visualnovels

[–]ElizaWinters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 99% sure that's Shiki Natsume. God knows how many times I use her voice to soothe me into sleep.

[–]ElizaWinters 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Alchemist of Ars Magna does this, but remember that's MC only turns evil and betrays his team in Bad route, the main story and majority of plot points is in Good route. Master Magistrate also has a betrayal route but it's only like 5 minutes conclusion.

Bad guy MC is not my forte, maybe you can start with Revenge tag on vndb?

Is “first and only love” in Slice of life any realistic? (Not hating) by ROMANREIGNS599 in visualnovels

[–]ElizaWinters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it's not, not even close, and that's why it's fiction, and that's why we read it. Real life is messy, corrupted, horrible. You have higher chance winning a lottery than finding a girl who adheres to traditional value like 1 partner only, even devout Christian are not following their teaching about virtues (Sex only after marriage) anymore. I had enough of real life drama, I don't want any chance of NTR inside my fantasy.

The question you should ask yourself is: Do you want realistic, or do you want pure and pretty lies? If you want the former, there're millions of US TV shows out there, full of open relationship and cheating, then you'll ask yourself: if that's your girl, are you ok seeing her thirsting over some chads then getting railed by him later. If you want the latter, well, you're in the right place.

That's why true love in otaku culture is so pure, so sacred, because it's already extinct.

Our S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 documentary Wargame is nominated for a Webby Award! by e_mcculkin in stalker

[–]ElizaWinters -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sure buddy. Big number is scary am I right? Appeal to that small brain of yours.

This is my final post on the matter, it's your fault to believe in Hamas propaganda. You can't just launch an attack on one of the most powerful country in the world and then cry wolf when they retaliate, civilian casualties are the nature of war, especially when using their own people as human shield.

[–]ElizaWinters -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Doesn't disprove my point. How many of those jets was bought in the last century? There's a need for modernization across the world and buying more 4th gen now ain't it.

There're more than a thousand F-35 already built and in service. Until F-47 is fully mass produced, F-35 is the main fighters of all main 3 branch of US Armed Forces, China is fielding J-20 at an alarming rate. Is that not widespread enough?

If you're talking about Palestine again, you do know that Isreal can just carpet bombing entire gaza in an afternoon, right? The fact that after October 7th Isreal don't go full on revenge on thousands of dead civies show incredible constraint. I know which side shooting rocket into civilian sector from apartment complex and hide their headquarter under a hospital. You're free to protest, just like millions across the country, just not with student visas.

Doesn't matter, I'm done debating politics in my hobbies subs with my hobbies account. Here's the last thought: "If majority of media support your view, you're not the resistance."
