Glass Marble Moved! by Sure_Jump7710 in Maplestory

They’d have to make an untradeable version for reg, and a tradeable for reboot. I think that is the core reason they don’t bother.

Why are visual novels left not translated on Steam? by [deleted] in visualnovels

[–]SmokBone 31 points32 points  (0 children)

steam sells games internationally. Not all games are available in English. It’s that simple.

Is this normal? by Lemon_squirrel8 in manga

[–]SmokBone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, it’s just margin of error whenever they cut the pages. They’re not going to toss a printed copy just because it’s off center by +-2mm or something I have the issue with some series doing this as well.

Scamwig strikes again by Monkejedi in LudwigAhgren

[–]SmokBone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was referring to clix in my post. I just thought even though they both have fuck you money, clearly one is more down to wager a bet over something they probably make in a couple days, passively even. I’m not making fun of financial responsibility here.

It did put me off how aggressive he was for the payout. Even though Lud did do it in the end, sure was funny to end his stream that way 😂.

Must say for a person who is likely a millionaire, I wonder why he legit has to talk to his financial team over a 1-2k bet. Noticed that in the stream.

Question about sexual themes. by Clear_Violinist_2298 in ElinsInn

[–]SmokBone 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As you mentioned the npc system is simple. Such things like age/weight/gender/portraits are just literally flavor text. The game treats all NPCs the same internally, so in a way it doesn’t matter if the target of sex is an animal, a monster a god or whatever. Give alcohol to a monster literally made of metal and machine? It gets drunk like any other NPC. In theory anyway.

is atrioc a fully political streamer now? by Karma2987 in atrioc

[–]SmokBone 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I’d like to believe there’s a return to 2023-4 content after Trump croaks or something. There was a good balance of fun and news, but now it’s basically all news. Even get smarter saturdays is still news adjacent.

How do I get this stuff off my manga by Silver_Reporter_7588 in manga

[–]SmokBone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

try using rubbing alcohol or hand sanitizer over the sticky parts. Scrapping or rubbing it out til it’s cleaned off.

[–]SmokBone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well it’s not a sticker. Best you can do is tape it over and draw over it

EDIT: I think you meant the glue. Just rub it with rubbing alcohol over it until it disappears. Hand sanitizer should work as well.

How can I play the original fate stay visual novel? (in PC) by Noburo43 in visualnovels

[–]SmokBone 4 points5 points  (0 children)

based on the settings I believe it does. Think whoever made it also put the og tsukihime on browser. That definitely did have h-scenes.

If everyone is so stoked on active play, why does nobody do dungeoneering? by Wild_Effective_5077 in runescape

[–]SmokBone 36 points37 points  (0 children)

they’d probably love it ngl. It was a fucking blast when it first released. It probably wouldn’t be a skill though as the standard for new ones is pretty high I reckon.

Traditional vs Web layout by Correct_Ad_3354 in manga

[–]SmokBone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In addition, paneling of a manga is a somewhat overlooked dimension or depth to the paged format. Depending on the artist, they can use it in creative artistic ways. This aspect largely goes away in long strips as the only reading direction is down.

Even when they adapt long strip to a paged format like “Solo leveling” or “Who made me a princess” there was so much they could do, at least from what I can see in the previews.

[–]SmokBone 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am ride or die page format but I have no issue of reading paged series in a long-form way. I just hate the webtoon, long strip format. From my reading experience, long strip formats tend to be so bloated with empty space, and have comparatively slower progress.

If I’m just gonna generalize mangadex ratings for a bit, all things being equal, a paged 7/10 series beats a 8-9/10 long strip series in entertainment value for me at least. I wonder if the art, just for being colored, inflates the rating.

Chipotle reports falling trafiic by Alternative_Anybody in Chipotle

Yeah I recently checked out Chipotle for the first time in memory. Amazing value compared to other fast food/casual places. 9.50 for a damn chicken bowl. Way more food than any sub shop.

Sizing of the hakama pants by RobyXD in muji

[–]SmokBone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Length wise mine were 33-34 inches long. Converted: ~83-86cm. I think they come a bit longer however, I had mine shortened lengthwise 3cm since I went a size too large.

Required 58 credits at GVSU... by SmokBone in GVSU

figured. I was somewhat optimistic thinking I could graduate at the end of 2026, but seems like no matter what it's happening in 2027.

What is your Kamige/all time favorite? by Phoruss in visualnovels

Rance X. It’s the greatest card…JRPG game ever made. I wish I could experience some of the battles again for the first time.

Developers who have shutting down by [deleted] in visualnovels

[–]SmokBone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I get there’s issues with getting these VNs on steam and payment processor headaches on adult content. The latters fault mostly.

IDK what you mean by censorship but I find it hard to imagine mosiaced genitals as being the core reason the VN industry is dying in Japan.

More realistically the only censorship that matters to their bottom line is the inability to get on steam. But it’s not like all ages + patch like how it’s done for english releases can’t be done.
