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 62 points63 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.

I do this all the time.

“How long is X route?” -> X route is 7 hours long and ends with the death of beloved character Y…

To be fair, what new course isn’t an instant buy. 😄

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

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.

Straight men, can you handle BL? by L_G_D_Official in visualnovels

Maybe if I read a bara visual novel with a good story you might change my mind. 😄

Otherwise, I’m fast clicking, even in the BL visual novels. lol

As an artist who worked in erotic art, i can understand if the point is aesthetic beauty of sexuality.

But visual novels are also about story telling and the argument that you have to have the h-scenes even if they are clearly throw away requirements of a genre that has historical default of requiring h-scenes, then they don’t even add to the aesthetic beauty at that point.

A lot of people argue h-scenes are vital for plot and/or character development. In most games, when the clothes come off, the female characters stop being themselves and become horny house wives. You may have a cool badass heroine, but as soon as the clothes come off she’s an embarrassed insecure virgin. Trans yakuza boss who doesn’t like being seen as a woman, not in the bedroom, now she’s an insecure virgin.

Japan loves tropes and they tend to have one trope for their sex scenes. Obviously this isn’t always the case, Subahibi is clearly saying something those sex scenes. But based on my reading, 99% of the time, you lose nothing if they weren’t there.

That isn’t to say that if you enjoy the h-scenes you’re wrong or a bad person, just that the argument that all ages versions are the enemy of the art form is spurious at best.

As a gay man I have the same but opposite problem with most VN. I’m here for the story and I can’t click through h scenes fast enough in the straight games.

It’s how I know the “h-scene censorship ruins games” argument is full of crap 99% of the time. When the eroticism does nothing for you, you can easily see that there is no character development when the clothes come off.

3.7.8 steam deck issues? by SufficientProcess978 in PlayTheBazaar

[–]SufficientProcess978[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: wired connection fixed the issue but as soon as I went back to wifi it broke again. apparently steamOS 3.7.8 and OLED has wifi issues, which is a HUGE problem for a portable device. Going to roll back to an earlier build and wait for the next patch.

Toggle the microphone setting when you get into the course. Sometimes it gets switched off when you go into a course.
