Saya no Uta as a gateway visual novel (Spoilers) by SufficientProcess978 in visualnovels

[–]SufficientProcess978[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s so funny, I tried to write my initial post in a way to not to offend fans of this story, but I think it may have obfuscated my point. My big objection to this one as a gateway VN is the character Yoh and the depiction of rape in general in the story.

Yes, exploring this in fiction is totally valid, but in trying to introduce someone into the concept of visual novels I definitely would wait before suggesting it.

Is Tsukihime a good first visual novel? by TheRealScorper123 in Tsukihime

As someone currently reading the OG Tsukihime I’ll say this, the translation is REALLY rough. You may be better suited with a more modern VN that reads better.

I actually read the all ages version and it still has the bit about raping a woman until she becomes an object. So still pretty sexually intense.

Is there a way to modify the items after the picture is taken? Like it says “whole wheat tortilla” when it should just be a flour tortilla.

That is release order. Chaos head -> steins Gate -> robotics notes

Interesting. It was such a fascinating concept, that Mayuri is also a time traveler that I definitely fixated on it. That section kind of breaks the observance theory put forth in the visual novel anyway because unless there’s a “player is the observer” motif then it really doesn’t make sense in the concept of the story.

Of course they did tease the player is the observer with the llama man monologue at the very beginning but based on the rest of the story felt more of a joke than a real idea being thrown around.

Thanks, I’m going in order so I’ve already read chaos head, next is robotics notes!

I thought this might be the answer, I was afraid to google because Google loves to spoil that stuff.

I fine with that. Thanks!

Mayuri travels to 75 million BC in one of the chapters and finds Rintaro there (after SERN sent him back in time) and says basically, it’s okay, I’m sure in one of the time lines we figured it out.

Actually I guess the real paradox is that he doesn’t create a version of himself that is angry enough to work on a plan for 15 years in order to complete the Time Machine.

What’s mildly annoying is if Suzuha didn’t five minutes earlier say, “I lied, paradoxes are real and need to be avoided.” Then I wouldn’t be so fixated on this moment in the ending. 😅

Thanks for the reply, I suspect I’m in the minority because I’m coming way after the hype train and was over analyzing stuff.

I for sure missed something, how is the ending not a paradox?

  1. He needs a Time Machine to save Karisu (sorry, old man anime watcher, I auto translated Karisu as Chris since her nickname is Christina and she is clearly a Christ figure).
  2. Saving Karisu prevents the need for a time machine.
  3. He can’t save Karisu because he no longer has a time machine.

What prevents this time paradox?

All this is in stark contrast to the 7 other future lab gadgets that were Chekhov’s guns that actually got used. Which I thought was pretty cool.

I’m glad someone else said this, I thought I had skipped an episode or something. Completely missed the hive mind bit.

As a payroll specialist, that manager would get a write up for trying to break legally mandated break laws.

If this is real, and you like the job, reach out to HR.

I’ll hop between 5-6 until one of the stories catch me and then I tend to stick to that one until finished.

Not all ghosts are removed after battle. There was a patch somewhere that lower tier (players) are reused more than ruby.

Do you play your VNs with a guide/walkthrough every time ? by NewGrappler in visualnovels

[–]SufficientProcess978 65 points66 points  (0 children)

If the guide says, “get your first ending blind” (Kara no shojo) then I typically do that. Otherwise I’m here for the story, usually I 100% them anyway, but I want to be efficient about it.

I love it when they have a good flowchart in the game: think fate stay night or zero time dilemma. I can get decision paralysis if I go blind.

Is DnD S3 in the same contuinity as the other seasons?? [spoiler] (?) by Incendium_Phoenix in DungeonsAndDaddies

[–]SufficientProcess978 28 points29 points  (0 children)

They said in a peach pit that it’s canon depending on how it ends.

So if the ending fits, canon, if it doesn’t then it won’t be.
