Remember…
Remember kids, don’t just copy and paste code/wordpress tags from somewhere, more often than not it has typos and/or replaced characters.
Case in point: <!–nextpage–>
Spent over 30 minutes around the darn thing yesterday, until I just said “Fuck it!”, just to figure out that, I’ll hazard a guess, the post editor of the website I copied the darn tag from had replaced characters…by other characters that (if you’re distracted, not really thinking about it or near-sighted) look exactly the same.
Rosetta stone, part 2
So, sometime ago I posted about how I was playing around with Rosetta stone to expand my Japanese knowledge. (knowledge…right…)
I dropped it for a while, but today, since I had nothing better to do, I double clicked it and had another go at it.
And BAM! just stumbled into a great example of the whole “it might be good for a baby, but I’m not a baby”.

Tagged I feel like writing so here you go, random rant, small aside

Nevada-tan is back!
Well, something I rarely do, bring up real world news and comment them. (mostly because it might take me onto discussing my world view and “I don’t wanna!!!”)
If you don’t want to read my opinion, don’t continue.
And that’s all.
For now at least I won’t post any more VN/eroge rants. (honestly, reflects badly on my online persona)
And that makes me be completely out of topics to write about!
All my game development projects were stopped two or three years ago.
Video game rants need some analytical talent and writing skills.
Then again, so do VN rants and that hasn’t stopped me.
Anyway, my online persona is important to me, hence I don’t want people to think I spend all my time drowned in VNs/eroges when I rarely play them, except every couple of years when I play four or five in a quick burst during my free time.

Hey, back with another world class rant!
Since as I said before Phenomeno while looking really interesting, sometimes (many times…) refuses to work, I had to do something else…well, for example, jumping to the next game in line. So I did and I’m back…
This time with a mystery/thriller/detective story (sounds good so far) set in 1950’s Japan (1956 more exactly; sounding even better) with reportedly above normal levels of gore (sounding great).
10/10 Would bang!
Wait…too early for that joke.
As usual, lots of spoilers and adult oriented illustrations after the “read more” tag. (really, don’t read if you’re going to play the game. I may or may not spoil everything and I’m not accountable for it.)
Also as usual, this is NOT a review, I don’t have the analytic power nor the writing talent needed for one, this is just a rant.
Another warning, this is a LOOOOOOOOONG rant and as a rant I kinda go here and there.
Also utsuge . (My first contact with this kind of game was Kana ~Imouto~ over ten years ago…my heart still hasn’t healed. 
, yes, a laughing smilie)
So, if ready, please go on.
Thinking about it…
Haven’t posted anything random in a while that isn’t a rant, so here, have this.
2 webms, after the fold to keep the front page clean.
So here I was…
…random VN in front of me, ready to be played for a random rant later; small A6 notepad on the desk and a blue roller pen hanging from my lips (so…everything as usual)
And a thought occurs: “Oh, this VN caused a good first impression and seems to be a genre that I like! Let me write that down.”
In the last post I kinda…
Didn’t quite do what the title promised, did I?
I can remedy that.
I was honest in the post:
That’s all, not bad for a rant that was supposed to be just the image and a “I’m joking.”.Me, last post
Next on vortex69’s rants
This week on vortex69 dot eu dot org…another eroge.
(Sorry, I put a “read more” tag because I used a reasonably big image and didn’t want it to take all that space on the front page)
Saya no Uta – The Song of Saya (18+)
Saya no Uta – The Song of Saya (18+ VN) (vndb page) (J-List page to buy)
Finally got around to playing/reading it.
This is one of those cases where the gap of ten years between the Japanese release and the English translation release did it no favours.
Warning, as usual, spoilers may abound. If you have any intention of playing/reading this VN, don’t read this post. (also 18+ images)
Also, as usual, this is not much of a review either, just a rant.
