Yeah there's a huge difference between choose your own adventure books and visual novels right
Anyway you can just read through every route and it'll be faster that way instead of having to sit through the same scenes multiple times.

did i imply that there is a difference between choose your own adventure books and visual novels?

if anything my post implies that they're the same.

and yes, im well aware of the skip feature in VNs.

a weeb is an otaku, and vice versa

not really.

Someone who is obsessed with Japan/Japanese Culture/Anime, etc. and attempts to act as if they were Japanese, even though they're far from it. They use Japanese words but usually end up pronouncing them wrong and sounding like total assholes. You can find alot of these ******s clogging up the forums of Gaia Online, hanging out in the international aisle of the supermarket, or crowding the manga section of your local bookstore. Synonym of wapanese.

a weeb can be an otaku, but being an otaku doesnt mean you're a weeb.

i dont obsessive over japanese culture or think its the greatest thing in the world.

i just like video games and cartoons bruh. of both the american and japanese variety.

 

[shairn]

you're confusing weeb with otaku.

and just because i've played a visual novel with sex scenes in it doesnt mean ****.

i've read american books with sexual content in them *****. what is your point?

i play/read non-adult **** as well as adult.

There's a difference between a book with a sex scene and a visual novel where half the purpose is to choose which girl you're going to get it on with, it's the intent. Not to say there aren't interesting VNs... but the harem element is universal.

Also for all intents and purposes let's not even consider the usage of the word "otaku" in english.

 

[Bleck]

oh hey speaking of Dragon Ball there's a new Dragon Ball movie and it apparently revives Frieza

I'm okay with this

 

[GP&B]

This **** was stuck in my damn head for freaking weeks. I was like "WHYYYYYYY??!!!?"

Ah god, that and so many other bands (whose names I can't really remember at the moment). That **** gets stuck in for so long.

 

[shairn]

How's Frieza going to be in any way relevant after Goku just beat up the ultimate being in the universe?

 

[Warsaint777]

Also what are you talking about? I don't think Freeza gets revived in Battle of the Gods. He does in one of the movies though and gets his ass kicked.

 

[Bleck]

I have no idea but I'm pumped

im not using the english definition of otaku.

im using the original definition of otaku.

and yes, in some VNs, the whole point of the VN is picking which girl to get it on with. but what i like about VNs is the journey towards the end. the **** that happens along the way is what I play VNs for. i couldn't give a **** if there was sex in it or not. if i did, i wouldnt play non-adult VNs in the first place. which i do. the thing about adult vns is that they're the VNs that are most likely to touch on topics that are adult in nature such as drug use (A Drug that Makes you Dream) or morality (Saya no Uta).

and even then, i dont always play VNs that have a "get with the girl" motif.

i just play **** that i feel is interesting and see where it takes me.

 

[Bleck]

Also what are you talking about? I don't think Freeza gets revived in Battle of the Gods.

I'm talking about the new movie that takes place after Battle of Gods, to be released in April 2015.

Apparently two of Frieza's surviving henchmen go to Earth, steal the Dragon Balls, and use them to revive Frieza.

 

[Warsaint777]

WHAT???

 

[Ripple]

does japan do year/month/day?

that seems terrible

 

[Bleck]

I'm not surprised to see a new movie - there were a lot of sequel hooks in Battle of Gods - but I'm surprised (and excited) to see Frieza.

 

[Leafeon]

Why is that show even still going?

 

[GHNeko]

DBZ as a show is done, but because people dont want to let it go, Akira keeps caving and making more ****.

which sucks

i want a new Dragon Ball. DBZ needs to staaaaay finished.

 

[Rᴏb]

Vegeta is totally gonna become a god.
I hope he gets to beat Frieza this time, that would be some nice closure.

A new Dragon Ball would be siiiick. It'll probably happen one day. The only problem is that I really like how the original series turned out.

 

[9bit]

Only visual novel I ever read was Song of Saya. And... it was enough...

 

[Soft Serve]

Hitting a slump is the worst

For the last few weeks I've been escaping/coping with a lot of **** by basically running away to smash

Smash isn't getting not fun or stale, it just doesn't feel the same because I've been diving into it so hard. I'm getting burnt out.

And I don't want an escape, I just want things to get better, but I don't feel any motivation to actually get myself to make changes. I've been in dark places before but it doesn't feel like that, I don't feel hurt or depressed or suicidal, I just still feel empty. I don't know. It sucks. It sucks to not have the person you relied on for years anymore, but yeah. I might not be around here that much anymore, or at least only visit this thread.

You guys move too fast, i went to one weekly and in the time it took to catch up there was another full page. I've been sitting in my car for an hour reading the thread on my phone.

Ha, we're in a dry campus, but these idiots left a 12 pack of Corona sitting in the top of thier car.

 

[shairn]

Makes mor esense than year/day/month.

 

[Ripple]

why can't the world make no sense? itd be more enjoyable that way

[Bleck]

just died to Lucina's side smash at 60% in Smash 4 and my first thought was "haha how do pros not like this game it's full of dumb bull****"

 

[Warsaint777]

both my dating site inboxes are empty so i'm going to **** and watch Frozen again.

yeah the original db ended fine

SO

WHY NOT CREATE A NEW CAST OF CHARACTERS


like why do people not reuse a universe/timeline but with a fresh cast of characters?

is that idea so bad?

Only visual novel I ever read was Song of Saya. And... it was enough...

i would love for you to clarify because Saya No Uta was great.

 

[Vashimus]

You probably is butt ugly ;(

 

[Bleck]

I think I would probably enjoy Smash 4 a lot more if I stopped playing as Pac-Man

 

[9bit]

This one

Spoiler

And I liked it very much, but it did leave me in a state of... not needing any more visual novels.

 

[Prince Longstrok]

Just got a Netplay set up working :D So is matchmaking just sitting in Anthers ladder...waiting? :s

 

[PMS | Tink-er]

Saya no uta was pretty cool

I don't follow dbz news because I think that shounen is a dull and overworked genre and I think that dbz is stupid

I'd rather watch a romance than power creep the anime genre




Black, do you really consider all vns to be pornographic? And do you really think that pornographic content invalidates the rest of a work?

Visual novels are hugely popular with Japanese people of analogous ages to those who frequent this thread. They're not high fashion. But they're also not low brow. It's a medium, not a genre, and you're conflating popular tropes with the whole body of work.

That said, there's definitely differences between an otaku (one who obsesses over something. This is primarily used in English to refer to Japanese media) and a weeaboo, who is someone whose obsession is internalized due to misinformation and ignorance top the point that that person thinks that by consuming Japanese pop culture they too can become akin to Japanese.

It should be noted that otaku is an insult in Japanese, as it means someone so obsessed with something that they do not leave their house. Basically a basement dweller. This is different from a hikkikomori, which is basically a NEET with social anxiety.

Ghneko obviously has a sizable power level, wanting to learn Japanese, but he shows no signs of delusion or desire to be Japanese. He's an otaku, but not a weeb. He may or may not strongly identify with his American culture, considering he consumes so much foreign culture, but he isn't acting like he is or that he understands what it means to be Japanese. This is understandle, I think.

I know exactly how you feel. I've been like that off and on for years. You've just got to find yourself, I guess. I'm not sure how to do that though.

Maybe that road trip will help you. Travelling is freeing.

 

[KuroganeHammer]

just died to Lucina's side smash at 60% in Smash 4 and my first thought was "haha how do pros not like this game it's full of dumb bull****"

actually the worst thing about smash 4 is sheik being able to pretty much 0-death combo everyone in the game and there's nothing you can do about it

it's great

/s

Like, whyyyyy can fair combo into fair

this isnt melee and she is not marth

 

[Giygacoal]

I remember someone posted something from that VN a while back, and I want to play it because it looks cool.

 

[Bleck]

Black, do you really consider all vns to be pornographic?

like I really want to main Pac-Man and maybe I just have no idea what the **** I'm doing but it basically seems like the hydrant is actually ****ing awful and none of my moves do any goddamn damage and I'm tired of trying to kill people when they're at 150% and then they turn around and slap me with some ****ing thing that kills me at 60% and it takes me everything to not throw my 3DS at the goddamn wall

 

[PMS | Tink-er]

Saya no uta is scary as hell

I wish I read all three routes before my laptop died

Bleck that wasn't an answer

Like, the idea I'm expressing is that vns are not all h games. All video games are not sex sims. All books are not smut. All art is not of naked women, and all art of naked women is not pornographic.

You're committing the same fallacy as someone who says that all anime and video games are for kids.

 

[KuroganeHammer]

@ Bleck pacman is a weirdly designed character, do you feel the character was designed with no objective in mind?

I think hydrant is rly good doe, also spam his projectile imo

 

[Warsaint777]

You probably is butt ugly ;(

I swear I'm not though!

 

[Bleck]

Like, the idea I'm expressing is that vns are not all h games.

the visual novel that GHNeko was initially talking about has explicit sex scenes

nobody said all visual novels were pornographic (Ace Attorney, hello) but I'm pretty ****in' sure that the above images constitute pornography

@ Bleck pacman is a weirdly designed character, do you feel the character was designed with no objective in mind?

Honestly, I'm probably not in the right state of mind to comment on his design right now; I just got so frustrated with For Glory that I retreated to fighting a level 9 CPU to see what the hell is wrong with me and then I got two stocked by a ****in' Yoshi that I just barely got over 50%. I'd take any complaints I have about him with a grain of salt.

Maybe I'm just tired from working this past week, I don't know. I'm putting the 3DS down for tonight before I put my fist through it.

Let us be the new person you rely on. <3
And I would have slapped you too, but that's already done. Sooo....

Here's to treating wounds.

(It's a bad edit to not advertise or whatever, idk.)

 

[KuroganeHammer]

Well personally I look at characters like Mega Man and say "this character was designed with a turtle/run away playstyle in mind" or Rosalina and say "she was made to be a ***** and zone people".

I can't say I can easily define wtf pacman even is.

That said I think he's one of the better characters.

iunno, just keep playing and take FOR GLORY with a grain of salt, because wifi is still wifi

 

[Yung Mei]

That was for your own good, softie.

when do i get a turn

Hydrant is a stage control tool, his normal B is a really good move actually but you gotta learn how to use each form that is viable and good. Key and Bell is the best though, one sets-up a kill the other is a killing projectile.

Dash attack is pretty fast on cooldown when you use it as a punish or GTFO me, plus he can follow it up pretty dang well. Dtilt is similar but more poke.

He has a lot of weird properties and like Aero said, he kinda feels like his purpose is hard to nail down. I would say at best I think he is a zoning/space control character with a lot of legit normal's when you get used to them. All his smash attacks kill, though not the best, idk how Lucina killed you at 60% unless you were right next to the ledge. Pacman doesn't kill the best but if he needs one I've found his projectiles and Smash Attacks can do it.

He feels like an alt version of Mr. Game and Watch, a lot of weird moves and properties. But if you play him more it's a lot easier to get used to him.

I wanna try him as a secondary just because I like him a hell of a lot more than Game and Watch and he's hilarious to me.
