Re: Random KS Discussion

Something for my fellow Brits. I was getting ready for work* this morning when a feature item came up on BBC Breakfast about disabled artists who paint with their feet and/or mouths… Uncanny. You posted this just as I was writing a cheque for the local MFPA (Mouth and Foot Painting Artists), an org...

Re: Sakura—The Kenji Saga (Part 3-2 complete 20141010)

*laughs* Yeah, my reaction to this was quite visceral. I guess this passage really drove home for me how much of a coward your Hisao was, both for never resolving things with Lilly and for hiding so much from Emi for all those years. Both deserved better, but at least Emi had the bliss of ignorance...

Re: Sakura—The Kenji Saga (Part 3-2 complete 20141010)

I still can't say I was ever invested in Kenji's story, because it's gone in all sorts of directions I haven't cared for. Can't help but feel for Yuuko, though. But then this drops... “Yeah. But in some strange way, I’ll always be unfaithful to Emi. Two damn months, a few days in Hokkaido, a sudden...

Re: Random KS Discussion

The fireworks display in Rin's route is the best in any of the routes. Rin: "I really do like fireworks, even though looking at them makes me feel kinda sad, I think. It's like they want you to look at them so bad so they are loud and bright, but when someone looks, they are already gone… It's like ...

Re: If you could pick a quality in each KS girl...

I've already known wonder at the world's offerings. So have I. That's not why I chose it. I chose it because I would like to have it back instead of being the much more jaded person I am today. Having half my flesh burnt off (or nearly so) is an experience I can live without :wink:. More like 15% 2...

Re: Recommend a VN

My post was about siblings/parents/aunts not cousins, If you are male, it's quite common that you have a very low genetic inheritance in common with your aunts (father's sisters) and a higher chance with your mother's sisters. Parents certainly, 100% chance of overlap, if you have a bad/fragile X, ...

Re: Recommend a VN

Meh, first cousins is okay in my head, considering its actually legal to marry them in a good proportion of countries, and genetic deformity chances are incredible low at that level. Even though most of society effectively says "No" to anyone that is remotely closely related. The genetic deformity ...

Re: Recommend a VN

I have no problem playing or watching stuff that has incestious relatshionships in them. For me they are a different kind of romance but a romance none the less. Its easier to just pretend they are not relatives then worry all the time how "forbidden" their love is. Trust me you'll enjoy it more li...

Re: COM(promise) - A Miki Route (Updated Oct 9th)

I like this Miki. Nice, warm, and easy to relate to. Hisao, Mutou, good. Tight focus on Miki means no other characters get a look in? Still very glad to read the update, me. :)

Re: The Library Anniversarie Collection

Thank you, I'll take 'sweet' and acknowledge that it could have been better! :) Oh no, it was great. Any fic can be "better," after all. I agree with Mirage - I was just being facetious with that first part. I was just being facetious with my bad punning, so we're even! That was a lot of fun. I've ...

Re: Random KS Discussion

To be honest, I've been kind of curious about that as well. It's one thing to occasionally hide some stealth puns in there that only a Japanese would understand, but if knowledge of the finer details of Japanese culture is required to enjoy a story to the fullest while the VN it's part of is writte...

Re: Favourite artworks - reprise.

And remember: Meiko is the mother of a 19 year old, but doesn't look a day over 20. It's likely the animu art-style at it again. :lol: She actually has the same kind of appearance as some of the real-life mid-40s Japanese ladies I've met who have kids — some of whom I've taught.
