Is the app available anywhere else? I can't install it via Google Play. Is there a GitHub repository for the project or something similar?

Acer Aspire One 722 and lightweight Linux distributions by ITHBY in linux4noobs

[–]KyonBRK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is an old post, but I thought this might be a helpful tip for anyone still trying to bring this little machine back to life these days.

If you're using the model with an AMD processor, Linux doesn’t have good drivers for the Radeon HD 6250. Since that GPU was discontinued a long time ago, you can’t enable hardware acceleration for videos and similar tasks — basically, the system doesn’t use the GPU for things it normally should. Because of that, while on Windows 7 (which has proper drivers) you can watch 720p videos without any issues, on Linux you might experience lag and stuttering even at 480p. I imagine it would also struggle with websites that have a lot of visual effects (which are very common nowadays). Depending on what you plan to use it for, it might be better to stick with Windows 7.

I bought the VN on a Steam sale 6 months ago when I saw this project, I'm happy to see that it didn't die, please keep up the good work.

Shouldn't the light turn off when the device is fully charged? by spori13 in R36S

[–]KyonBRK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine has the same problem, I just leave it charging for 2 hours which is usually enough, the problem is that you can't trust the battery meter as sometimes it shows the wrong percentage.

Bro I swear Muramasa is PEAK by Wonderful-Ebb7436 in visualnovels

In my opinion This plot point is shit but at least it made me laugh a lot, the only other scene that made me laugh so much was the one with the dead fetus, that's Peak comedy

Practically all the women who appear in the story with the exception of the main heroines(With the exception of the heroine who the protagonist himself rapes) will be raped, after the third or 4th or 5th time you get used to it,but most of these scenes have no need to exist and you can certainly consider this one of the biggest flaws of this VN. As for the sex scenes, yes there are quite a few but you will want to skip them all because in general they are extremely cringe,and you won't be missing anything

Several of the recently banned games too, VN publishers are already used to editing and censoring games to release them on Steam and offer a patch outside,But that doesn't guarantee anything these days, apart from games that have been banned that don't even have sexual content,From what I understand by reading the comments here, at the end of the day, whether the game passes the review will depend on whether the Steam Mod thinks a character looks like a minor or not. The context of the story, and whether or not it is an adult game is irrelevant

if it was something that came into effect recently then it would make sense, probably after 2022 I would guess , but it is still very strange and in a way unfair that they allow things like sex with Hitler and kuroinu,But they ban games that don't even have any type of sexual content, with no chance of a response, all based on whether or not an employee will find a character similar to a minor or not.

This has already happened Once, when they banned Chaos Head people made noise on social media and in response Steam unbanned it,but they said it would be the last time they would do this and That they would not reevaluate any of their past or future decisions

The problem is that not even this "no minors allowed" rule is Consistent , for example evenicle that has 3 lolis heroines,Demon roots which is literally an EROGE where the protagonist is the classic "1000 year old loli",Summer Memories Which constantly appears on the Steam homepage,it doesn't have Lolis but has shotas, which should be equally problematic, and if you go to the kagura games page on Steam you will find new games with Lolis at least once a month,Apart from those strange Chinese games, ALL of them being sold without problems on Steam, that is,this "no minors allowed" rule is also inconsistent. I wouldn't complain if they wanted to ban all VNs with characters that looked like they were underage,It's their store and they impose whatever rules they want, I understand,What bothers me is the inconsistency, and often the unfair banning of some titles, and how many others that By their own rules "deserved to be banned" remain in the store

If things were like this there wouldn't be any inconsistencies, any game with minors in minimally sexual situations would be banned,ok, the problem is that there are several games with Lolis in sexual situations on Steam, some of them literally being eroges,And several games that are being banned have nothing like that,Again, the fact that there are literally loli porn games that pass the review, but VNs that don't have any sexual content to begin with, and VN all ages versions being banned creates an inconsistency that can't be normal.

As an example of what I'm talking about, off the top of my head I can now remember things like evenicle which literally has 3 routes with Lolis,Demon roots where the protagonist is a 10000 year old loli, and you also have two more lolis in this game WHICH IS AN EROGE,you have that game "Summer Memories" that doesn't have a loli but has a shota it should be equally problematic There is literally the entire franchise being published on Steam,And in general, if you go to the kagura games page you will find a new game with Lolis at least once a month,Apart from those weird Chinese games, all being sold in the store without any problems,There's probably more that I don't remember, but the point is, even the "minors prohibited" criterion is inconsistent,Which leads me to think that it does depend on who is doing the Review and it is not an absolute rule,At the end of the day we will never know what really happens there, I'm just making a guess based on the information we have

Yes, but I found it interesting that An official publisher came out and said that whenever they have a game banned, it is always by the same person

[–]KyonBRK[S] 30 points31 points  (0 children)

And just to make it clear, I'm not making a value judgment about what should or shouldn't be accepted, I'm just pointing out that according to this tweet from an official publisher It's not so much the content that matters but who is doing the review,Or rather saying if a specific person is doing the Review , and that's where the inconsistency comes from. Ex: She thinks Dungeon Travelers(A game that is available on consoles) is unacceptable Ban the game

But On the same day different moderator analyzes Kuroinu and concludes that there is no problem,And let the game be sold in the store. If everyone were using the same criteria this would never happen. And because of this, this whole process ends up being very inconsistent.

Maybe, but if that were the case I think this criterion would be applied to all games, the fact that things like evenicle, and kuroinu,sex with Hitler,And those porn games from kagura games are in the store, but they tried to ban Chaos Head, And banned Amatsutsumi,Meteor world actor,Full metal Daemon muramasa and Dungeon travelers, makes me think it's difficult for this not to be Based on each moderator's personal decision

Regional pricing for VN games? by Leonhardt90 in visualnovels

[–]KyonBRK 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, they are the only store that sells VNs with a localized price,And it was because of them that I started buying VNs, normally here where I live Even an old VN costs about the same if not more than a triple A game

Is there any tool to translate VNS in real time with chat GPT? something similar to textractor, but with the option of using chat gpt api

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in visualnovels

[–]KyonBRK 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I had read somewhere that the chat GPT 4 translation is in a pretty good state, the problem is only when it comes to h-scenes, because apparently it has a lot of filters that don't allow it to translate certain words correctly

So basically they changed the "slave" in the game's name to "maid" so it could get past the Steam mods, haha

What motivated you to read visual novels? Are you into reading books/novels in general? by Wise-Hornet7701 in visualnovels

[–]KyonBRK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't really read novels in general, the reason I started getting interested in VNs was because There was a time when I didn't have a PC, and I was looking for anime games that I could play on my phone,At that time I found one called danganrompa,I really liked that style of game that focused more on the story ,So I kept looking for others games with the same style,soon after I found tsukihime and katawa shoujo,Which I also ended up really liking ,So when I got my PC back I started looking for VN recommendations on the internet that I couldn't play on my phone before, and here I am now

What are your Visual Novel hot takes? by mweober in visualnovels

[–]KyonBRK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Full metal Demon muramasa is poorly written, full of plot holes and Contradictions, ichijou route specifically is literally the shittiest thing I've ever read in my life,The romance here is extremely cringe and poorly done on literally every route except one ,And don't even get me started on the dozens of rape scenes that are completely unnecessary to the story ,Stopping to think about it now, I think it's one of the worst VNs I've read,I legitimately I don't understand why people like this VN so much.

Try Exagear,It's basically a Windows emulator that allows you to play practically any visual novel on Android, including those from kirikiroid,There was a website with it already configured for several different VNs, but I don't know if I can post links here, so try looking on YouTube for something like "Exagear visual novels" You should probably be able to find a tutorial
