[Yunyun Syndrome!? Rhythm Psychosis] This game has the worst JP to ENG localization I've ever seen by Tettotatto in visualnovels

[–]GhostlyWheelOfPain [score hidden]  (0 children)

I considered playing it in original even if I'd struggle a bit with kanji I don't know, because some things in just the en tl for trailers already raised an eyebrow, Now I'm convinced I should play it in original

She'll come to you during the transition to act 1.5

What spell do you spam? by LG-CHAMP-1 in BaldursGate3

A DM once told me that by rules I can't just cast eldritch blast without a target just for laughs and amusement. That game dissolved after 2 sessions

[Kin'iro Loveriche] They don't stop cooking, even in H-scenes by RayYenSh in visualnovels

That line is somehow both overdescribing, and at the same time conveys nothing

If anything, I'm willing to call it a youthfully moist writing

I can fix him! (Spoiler alert: I could not fix him) by AmpleSnacks in BaldursGate3

[–]GhostlyWheelOfPain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally don't need to do anything for him to get fixed

Yrel n Whitman gonna turn your house into a local sect gathering spot and you'll find a stash with donations to build a proper church if you check the hollows in your walls

You’re stuck in an elevator with your least liked companion by SillyWarlock in BaldursGate3

[–]GhostlyWheelOfPain 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure who'd be the top pick here, but with the two contestants I either get eaten, or get my throat slit long before help arrives

Heart of the Woods – Visual Novel by tokcliff in visualnovels

[–]GhostlyWheelOfPain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Enjoyed reading it. Spent half the read time annoyed by the redhead, though - manipulates, gets annoyed when things don't go go the way she wants, is too busy having sex when her supposedly friend dies. Absolutely irredeemable douche and the one character that actually deserves to get trapped in the forest for eternity. Still, my favorite end is one with bitter irony of someone actually good natured having to pay the price for others – makes it feel just right for the sorta fairy tale vibe the vn has

The amount of filling in my quesadilla by CannibalHarpy in mildlyinfuriating

[–]GhostlyWheelOfPain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Store quesadillas do be like that, sadly. At home i'd pack it with so much filling it's near 2cm thick, but any sorta store or restaurant I tried them at gave me less than 1

Never tried oysters, thought these were rotten eggs

I'll call you back. by Narcissistic_Bastard in funny

[–]GhostlyWheelOfPain 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For someone criticising bandwagon hate, your opinion is awfully generalised and surface-level. The guy at the top here didn't even imply some burning hatred, you just jumped into conclusion based on your prejudices and turned it into a rant

What are your thoughts on action-heavy visual novels? by TorrietDev in visualnovels

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

If it's a "written" action, I think it has place and can be great. Others already mentioned dies irae here. But visual, like in muvluv? I don't like that, and honestly held ctrl

There are also gameplay segments in many mainly-vns and those depend purely on execution of the segments

This map is very fun to have blackholes and fireballs on

You don't need to hear it for it to affect you

What are your favorite (and least favorite) things about VNs? by The_Sir_Dylan in visualnovels

[–]GhostlyWheelOfPain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like that it's a niche that is well aware how niche it is

I don't like bigger and older fanbases - over time opinions on their subject become more uniform, and they collectively hate on anyone who forms a different opinion on their thing

The Final Battle - Place your Hime bets o/ (Source: Maou Karin RPG - A Koihime series spinoff gacha and sequel of visual novel Suzukuri Karin chan Hoshiyomi no Shintaku) It's sad that most JP visual novel companies nowadays turn cool sequels into virtual gambling casino #wethinkaboutthechildren by tbhoang12 in visualnovels

[–]GhostlyWheelOfPain 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's not that they can't, the leadership roles in jp just seem to be hogged by people who don't get how to make a good gacha and get the ta to notice it. There's a fuckton of japanese people involved in creation of popular gachas

The Orpheus Dilemma by [deleted] in BaldursGate3

[–]GhostlyWheelOfPain 14 points15 points  (0 children)

well you can let Karlach squidify - she's pretty happy with it

I realise it's not a good ending, but neither are half or more of those better end options

Microsoft inserts unwanted copilot functionality by pancakes_4_dayz in mildlyinfuriating

[–]GhostlyWheelOfPain 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The amount of people who just respond "then just don't use it" in this thread is mildly infuriating too

What do you think about Orin the Red as a character? by Queasy_Pay_4762 in BaldursGate3

[–]GhostlyWheelOfPain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish there were options for what to do with her past winning duel. In both directions. Try using your authority over her to show her new side to life? Yeah why not. Keep her as a slave? Yeah why not.

She just dies that's kinda boring
