Someone try and explain this to me.
We're going for personality, really. Both are kind of out there and a little weird (Abiru's tail fetish, Rin's everything).

Re: Sayonara, Zetsubou Sensei chars you associate with KS

Gee, this doesn't resemble any of the KS characters whatsoever. Holy shit, is that a Zetsubou-sensei statue?! Where can I find one of those? Anyway: Hanako: Ai (the always apologizing one) Lilly: Chiri Shizune: Meru Emi: Harumi (the athletics part, not the obsessive yaoi part) Rin: seconding Abiru ...

Re: One for the devs: character names through project history

Interesting... Would you happen to know how Finnish double consonants are distinguished in e.g. Eurooppa or Pellonpekko? True double (geminate) consonants are usually though of as simply a moraic consonant in the rime followed by the same consonant in the onset of the next syllable. So, Pellonpekko...

Re: One for the devs: character names through project history

To be clear, all the "u" does is lengthen the "o" sound; normally lengthened vowels would be represented with a macron i.e. Katawa Shōjo. The other vowels don't have a similar way of lengthening them by adding a letter, so it's kind of dumb to single out "o" for length...

Re: Really really REALLY dumb questions

They make braile writters for the blind. You feed a sheet of paper in and as you hit key combinations it embosses the braille letters on the paper. Think of chords on a piano or guitar; one chord in the letter "a", another is the letter "b", all the way to the letter "z&quo...

Re: Hey, I figured something out about Misha's nicknames.

IIRC in japanese there is no um syllable, there's ma mi mu me and mo , so the probable nickname would be Mu-chan or Umu-chan (if you add a u in the beginning), but that sound like a cow nickname or candy or something... Probably E-chan or even Emi-chan would be easier to pronounce and less awkward ...

Re: Favorite girl.

Shizune, Shizune, Shizune. At first she was a little off-putting and I wavered towards Hanako instead, but once I played through her path I fell in love. I've always had a soft spot for cleverness and tricksters, as well as strategic competition (preferably won by cleverness, as in the Battle of Mal...

Re: Act1 Walkthrought, 100% & Individual paths

Here's a pdf of the chart, though I wasn't able to split it into pages. Since you seem to be running OS X from Inkscape mention, in the future you can open up the png in Preview and the save that as a PDF to save yourself the hassle.

Re: In regards to Shizune

FFT =/= FFTA. One is shit the other is awesome. Hey, I liked FFTA. I don't have a PSP (and finding the original is nigh impossible) so I can't play FFT to compare, unfortunately. Reading about the experiences of a blind user would interest me the most as well but yeah, that's difficult to obtain fo...

Anyone know how I'd go about converting a .odg file into something that can be displayed as a simple image? You can export the image as a PDF and then open it in whatever program you use for them and then (hopefully) save it as an image. It's pretty damn wide though; the attached one is a resized v...

Re: Misha's disabillity?

Anemia could just prevent her from any strenuous physical activity, like climbing stairs and throwing balls. Obviously, laughing uproariously doesn't count. Wasn't the ball thing more an issue of having bad aim? I don't think she was lying about it, since she had no qualms about noting that Shizune...

Re: Really really REALLY dumb questions

As long as they don't do the "it hurts and bleeds" the first time through (or at least don't play it up too much), then I'm happy. I'm getting tired of the perception that it has to hurt and you have to rip the hymen the first time. Frankly, it's not realistic at all. Minor discomfort? Fi...

Re: In regards to Shizune

I don't know if this is the case with deafness, but it seems likely. I remember reading about a man in a book by Oliver Sacks who went blind at 5, and then 50 or years later got an experimental surgery or something to let him see. He didn't know how the hell things looked like actually related to h...

Re: In regards to Shizune

Now I hope you don't mind me going back to the "giving you back your hearing" topic, but would you take the chance to have the ability to switch your hearing on and off, or to hear only things you want to hear? I would think that no person, deaf or not, would pass up the ability to listen...
