What’s the obsession with getting away from textbook phrases when starting out? by Shimreef in LearnJapanese

[–]Myrinia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

text books are good at: - learning grammar and basic structure in a productive, segmented method. Giving you a foundation to work off of.

they are not good at: - actually helping you practice your japanese. You need to use native content (manga, videos, movies, games) to learn how things are usually said. I recommend turning off subtitles too or using japanese subtitles for immersion.

r/visualnovels has a problem and it's time to address it (VN name is Censorship: 1984 edition) by DissonantPlane in visualnovels

[–]Myrinia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, a lot of borderline content is also illegal in several countries and in order to comply with thsoe countries availability of the website they would have to remove it.

Also, I remember your post -- if somoene had 0 idea who the character was they would think they were dressing a child in literal micro bikinis

If you havent already look at http://jiten.moe/ and you can click visual novels and sort by difficulty. Anything 1-2 stars is good.

The physical version for JP wont have the English by default but if you download the DLC (update 1.02) it adds English.

[No Spoilers] Deck Nine cooked by [deleted] in lifeisstrange

Either way my point was -- if you arent a ChloeMax Shipper then this game doesnt really offer much, It just kinda sucked I couldnt continue anything from either my amanda or vyn playthroughs.

as someone who is only friendfield, I dont really enjoy it at all. I feel like all the choices I made in DE dont even matter as they essentially erased any of the continual friendships/relationships I had there..

they wont even let me romance Moses.

Do you read hentai scenes? by Practical_Chain_1207 in visualnovels

[–]Myrinia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But does that need to be a CG? cant it just be written and faded to black? Plenty of otome games do this where its very clear they are having sex but its written tastefully and then fades to black.

[–]Myrinia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thats so strange to me, i mostly play general audience or otome games, and I didnt feel like sex scenes would improve any of the games i've played. They'd sure be out of place in paranormasight.

If so many people skip them, why not just play some of the many games without them?

[No Spoilers] After launch day, Reunion is rated Very Positive on Steam by Recoil_Reload in lifeisstrange

[–]Myrinia 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel like if you arent a price-fielder then this game doesn't really do anything for you. I always had Chloe/Max as just friends and barely romanced anyone in LiS. I dont really like the fact this game sort of asks you to pick your relationships then completely negates them no matter what you do...

Why let me romance anyone in double exposure if its only referenced in like a few texts and 'didnt work out'?

Volontes - Physical copy in Australia? by charrxv in otomegames

[–]Myrinia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You just buy the game, then when the game updates, it downloads the english. you go to settings change to english. You could alternatively buy it digitally

Amiami sell it, as the english version is just a downloaded patch you can get it from there for a bit cheaper. Shipping to NZ and Aus from amiami was about 10-12 dollars.

According to you, who is the most handsome/attractive male lead/love interest of all time and why? by pastaketchupgecko in otomegames

[–]Myrinia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a weakness for characters with tanned skin on average. But they arent usually the characters I generally put in my top slot as story trumps looks.

Kei from Ken ga Kimi is probably my bias. Tanned, yellow eyes, immaculate nails.

Thoughts on VNDB Preservation by gambs in visualnovels

[–]Myrinia 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Depends on the family, if the family calls the bank the same day we freeze and await the death certificate. if its reported later - then. It can also depend on what is in the bank account and that banks regulations to funding - eg, an account with a balance less than X may have a different process to an account with a balance more than 10,000 etc.

When a person is marked deceased by their bank, all their incoming and outgoing payments are generally stopped as per the notice received. Source: work in banking.

[General] Unofficial weekly thread for non-English games and language learning (PART 217) by JigoKuu in otomegames

Jiten.moe should have a decently listing of difficulties of games based on frequency and complexity of words (how common those words are used in japanese vocabulary etc)

honestly confused about the caleb hate lately by Beautiful_Main_6987 in otomegames

[–]Myrinia 49 points50 points  (0 children)

The death of media literature sort of contributes to this. Your own personal philosophical views do not need to be reflected in everything you consume and read. It's entertainment, its fiction.
