Re: Has a Misha route fanfic been completed?

DrSciencePhD did a short completed one here , but it's rather short, and kind of pornish. Doomish has completed an Act 2 with the intention of continuing to the end, but it's on temporary hiatus. And there are plenty of post-endgame fics about Misha. Other than that, I don't believe there's been any...

Re: YAMAKU FIGHT CLUB

Seconded on Rin being under-credited. The Fight Club idea assumes that these versions of the girls are more violent than their canon selves. Besides, it is beyond in terrible taste to say "all of the others can manage their disability just fine, but this one is screwed." Yes, I just critic...

Re: Katawa Shoujo Recovery

Use it to better yourself. You can't change the world, you can't change other people, but you can change yourself. Don't wallow in the fact that you'll never meet a fictional character. That's not what KS is about. If you want to escape to a romantic life of bliss with the perfect person, read Twili...

Re: Shizune's Bad Ending [Spoilers and Advice Request?]

I grew up as a Navy brat. Got into a rhythm of moving every two years. I never really bothered keeping up with or maintaining friends. With two years, I reasoned, you're just setting yourself up to get hurt. With the internet, I was able to meet people and keep[ in touch for longer, because the inte...

Re: KSG Community Survey - its been a long time

So this is basically a last call. Once some personal stuff settles down I'll make the cutoff and start fussing with data. I'll post the results in this thread, or make a new one. I'm unfamiliar with the forums culture really so I don't know what's acceptable and what isn't as far as that goes. I be...

Re: Does KS really cause Manly Tears

Surprisingly from a response from Aura, KS was not written to cause manly tears, at least for Rin's arc, as she was the writer of it. That might not be the case in other routes but it is for Rin's. I don't understand. What then was the intended effect? It is hard to believe that the lines weren't m...

Re: Played Hanako and Lilly routes. Some questions for you g

1) The Lilly route didn’t really affect me as much as Hanako’s. Perhaps due to the fact that I went for Hanako first. However, I felt that Lilly’s route had more ‘stuff’ happening as compared to Hanako. What do you guys think? Different people get different feels. As has been noted several times, t...

Re: Yuuko plot hole?

One of the first things you learn when asking Misha and Shizune about the library is that it has official hours but is open roughly "whenever Yuuko is there." This was a way for the devs to just handwave it, so that Yuuko is at the Shanghai when Hisao goes there, and Yuuko is at the librar...

Re: Katawa Shoujo and Alcohol

Disclaimer: I am not a professional bartender, and cannot vouch for the quality of any of these drinks. They're more for fun and being thematically appropriate. The Rin: A variation on a Mojito seems appropriate. Begin with lime juice, sugar, and mint, thoroughly muddled. Add one part white rum to t...

Can't say I was ever a fan of the X-Files, but this has piqued my interest. Wondering where it will go, and...

Re: Karaoke Night

Glad to see people enjoyed it. Was just a silly little thing, and I probably leaned a bit too heavily on some cliches and easy jokes, but whatever. It's my second completed piece of creative writing, and the first was over a decade ago, so that counts for something... Shizune didn't get a song becau...

Re: Misha's disabillity?

Why did Misha choose to come to Yamaku? She initially didn't want to come, and choosing to come meant turning her rudimentary sign language knowledge into a career in order to pay tuition. This is not a "path of least resistance" situation. Well, except if she wanted to become a sign-lang...

Re: Misha's disabillity?

Hmm... Guess I should have made more of a point arguing against the other major theories. No Disability In order to determine what's going on that Hisao doesn't know, we need to take what we have, and see if we can get something internally consistent. That means answering the following two questions...
