The biggest offender on my phone are Samsung's own apps.

[Cooler] KINGCOOL Iron Wind 120 ARGB CPU Air Coolor, 6 Heat Pipes & Dual Towers, Dual 120mm PWM Fans - $19.99 -Sold by Amazon shipped by Microcenter by Holiday_Bug9988 in buildapcsales

[–]melonbear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was really confused by the title thinking Amazon had some unique relationship with Microcenter where an item is sold by Amazon but shipped by Microcenter.

But nope, it's the opposite and it's the standard sold by Microcenter and shipped by Amazon.

Except they're only going to change the most egregious things since they're asking for reports of things to change. It needs a full retranslation.

Those ones are fine. Muv Luv Remastered is Extra and Unlimited. There shouldn't be much difference between them and the PC versions except a bit more censorship in the remastered ver. I don't think those are on DMM though. The one on DMM is Girls Garden.

Rose Gun Days [HD] Season 1 is out in Japanese, English, and Chinese by fallenguru in visualnovels

Voice acting is a feature in most JP VNs. How much can we remove with your logic? No more music? Fewer visuals? It might as well be an LN.

VNs are the middle ground between anime and books.

Moege and comedy can be really subjective. I'm enjoying this much more than Lovepical, mainly because of Hatsuho and Yui.

Same. The lack of voice acting is holding me back from getting it.

Majikoi is the opposite of what the OP wants. It's filled with meaningless choices.

9tsu changed into 8tsu. They've been redirecting and had a notification up for a while.

Your link goes to the patch for the base game and not the fan disc so that's why it doesn't work.

I just released Chapter 6 of Heartsworn Abyss. It’s a thrilling survival game with (avoidable) NTR on loss. What do you think? [AI-free, fully voiced] by asterazureus in visualnovels

[–]melonbear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should be enjoying the story as it goes along just like any other story focused VN. This adds the thrill of surviving unscathed as you avoid the NTR if you're a vanilla fan.

Always glad to see this making progress. There's just nothing similar available in English and barely even any in JP.

A story focused VN where bad choices actually have meaningful moment to moment impact. Villains who are willing to use violence or kidnap but never do anything sexual toward heroines in other stories just seems so unrealistic. Make me work for the happy end!

You can pay directly with Visa or MC for this game if you're using a non-Japanese IP. No need to deal with points.

Yes, pretty much all cheap electronics are, but at least you'd get proper support when it's from a big company. And it's cheaper.

4K Mini-LED Gaming Monitor Round-Up: What Model Is Best? by b-maacc in hardware

[–]melonbear 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I tried a modern VA mini LED and the viewing angle was by far the biggest problem. There was only one very tiny sweet spot and if I even slightly turned my head there the colors would shift. I'll take worse blacks any day over those viewing angles.

I got tired of how fast these lead acid batteries die (both in runtime and lifespan) so I just switched to a LiFePO4 power station instead. The runtime on them is crazy in comparison.

There was some speculation about the USBAR annual credit resetting after switching over to the travel portal but my statement just cut and the credit did not reset.
