Re: KS lookalikes

The best thing is, I don't know if that's a joke regarding the .gif or if this is genuinely a scene from a gameshow dedicate to guessing whether something is either chocolate or metal. Now I can imagine Hanako watching it on a small tv in her dorm and getting really into it. It should not surprise ...

Re: Adaptive technology

... sometimes it feels like this is the only cyborg reference anybody knows how to make. Well, there is always this: "I'm a cybernetic organism: living tissue over a metal endoskeleton." Martin Caidin: we can rebuild him — stronger, better, faster… [ LINK ] Ahhh, that takes me back. 70s sci-fi was ...

Re: Random KS Discussion

Then she teams up with Rin and becomes the new Banksy. I just imagined a much older Hanako in an oversized hoodie and knit cap, smoking a cigarette and looking bitter and angry. Someone's talking to her, trying to get her to be "more reasonable". She tersely makes some assertion about how society s...

Re: Ignorant things said by Internet know-it-alls

why does this happen and what can we learn from it A stew of ignorance, prejudice, jumping to conclusions, and projection. Subconscious: "Love and sex with the disabled? Ew, that's gross. Therefore anyone who would be ok with it must be a demented fetishist." Conscious: "Hey, you heard about this s...

Re: Ignorant things said by Internet know-it-alls

Tell him he's playing The Crying Game. The thing about accusations over Emi that she's pedo-bait is, you're damned if you do, damned if you don't. If you like women with big boobs and hips and bubble butts, you're setting unrealistic beauty standards. If you like them waiflike, you're a pedo. If you...

Re: Ignorant things said by Internet know-it-alls

One time I was on a thread where a wheelchair-bound girl posted nudes, and people, including me, were appreciating her. I told her I'd call her Emi, and she asked what that meant. Some asshole jumped in before I could reply and "explained" that I was referring to "a hentai game" where a legless char...

I second the motion.

Take care not to confuse it with the popular soft drink, Slurm®.

Re: Random KS Discussion

I didn't know that not 100%-ing something instantly meant that you don't respect it. I'm not even talking about 100%ing it (which I take to mean the Completion number in Extras > Library), though that's debatable. I think we've only been talking about getting all the endings, of which there are onl...

Re: Ask!

On the topic of Rin's arm-stubs. We only ever see them during her final H-scene; whereas with Emi, for example, we see her leg-stubs at a few different times, including outside of H-scenes. Even Rin's "nude" sprites have her draped in a shirt. Was there any conscious (or subconscious?) decision to m...

Re: Random KS Discussion

Because reading three scenes and reading an entire route from start to finish are totally the same thing. Likewise, reading only the pieces one likes and reading the whole thing are totally the same thing. Ever stop and consider that something loses value if you have to do it out of some misplaced ...

Re: Favourite artworks - reprise.

http://shimmie.katawa-shoujo.com/image/1621.png Biggest mood mismatch between text and drawing I've seen, I think. Well, Rin tends to say things that don't totally match her facial expression at times even in canon, so that kind of makes sense. Well… I meant just the mood of the drawing, not of Rin...

Re: Random KS Discussion

Sure, but this VN's entire gameplay consists of choosing options. It comes out and tells you, "here, pick where you want to go" and then when you go there, absolutely nothing indicates that you are under any sort of obligation to look at the other options. There's a percentage and some extras not u...
