That’s it, I’m weeabooing to the max.
So, by now it’s well established that I’m a bit of a weeaboo (wapanese, whichever you prefer).
But despite the appearances I’m not all that much of a weeaboo (was a bit worse when I was younger), I may enjoy various forms of entertainment media out of Japan (manga, anime, VNs, eroges) and would sincerely love to visit Japan for a month or two (or maybe three or four; between the otaku weeabooing and driving/hiking to the boonies it would be a probably awesome experience…), I’m still very…mild about it.
Screenshot programs.
Hey, as can be seen, I like to cover a wide array of stuff in this site.
This might become a bit of a ever changing post, as I may continue trying new programs as I find limitations on the one I’m using at the moment.
So, in my reviews of VNs, I published some screenshots.
Screencapture software is always a very subjective and broad matter. (strangely, one would think it would be a fairly mundane subject)
The weaboo in me…
The weaboo in me…shouldn’t have access to the internet. Japan why do you do these things to us mere mortals?
I already talked about manga, about anime, VNs…So what is it now?
Writing mood.
So it seems in the last week I’ve been in a bit of a writing mood, as proven by the six posts since the 4th of July (would be eight, but I’m not counting the one I already had written and just hadn’t typed and obviously this one)
It’s quite a rare occurrence, even more rare is that they actually have a bit of structure and a tiny bit of an actual point.
Yandere (the game)
Yandere (18+ only)
Or: Why you should assess the mental health of your sexual conquests beforehand.
First things first, I have nothing against games with crazy chicks trying to kill the protagonist if he deserves it. (although I feel there’s a lack of games with protagonists killing his love interests if they deserve) Anyway, “Nice boat” and all that (hint: School Days), but I felt this game just went way overboard with his stupidity.
But hey, the game title is “Yandere” I could expect nothing other than a game where the protagonist would be hunted down by various mentally deranged chicks for whatever reason. It’s not my favourite genre, but I’m playing out of boredom and sense of discovery.
As usual, might contain spoilers and/or images not appropriate to kids. (no, not as many images as Paca Plus , but way more NSFW, WAY MORE NSFW)
Paca Plus
So this time I’ll do something I rarely do: use copious amounts of images.
You can buy the game at DLSite (~US$10, do it if you want to support the devs)
The English translation is…so-so at best, mostly due to grammatical errors and some bad phrasing. It’s a bit Engrish.
(technically, I’m not evaluating the translation, as I don’t understand Japanese)
Examples:
And so on…
The main character (henceforth MC) loves alpacas…his most beloved thing, after his girlfriend.
He actually says it.
Moving on… (spoilers may abound henceforth)
More manga!
This was actually written on the 16th of April of this year (2014), I just completely forgot about it on the notepad and didn’t type it on the computer. Later today I’ll post my rant about “Paca Plus”.
As I had said, I decided to check Kengo Hanazawa’s other works.
So after finishing reading the already translated chapters of “I am a hero”, I started reading “Ressentiment“, and…
Good manga…
New theme!
After years using what was pretty much the default theme from a wordpress theme generator, I finally changed the theme!
To another nearly default theme from a wordpress theme generator.
But it’s a change. (for worse or better is still an open question, but a change nonetheless)
Should be better as this theme is based on “twenty ten” and I was having some trouble with some add-ons due to that.
I call it DarkMind, take that, I’m edgy as fuck. (I better be, thought hard about “What name would I give this theme if I was a pretentious web-designer emo.”)
Last post I said I would be ranting a bit more about eroges/VNs in the future.
Yes, I will.
A taste of my “To Do” List of VNs (adult oriented or not):
Paca Plus (just for the sheer WTF feeling of it):
Yandere:
There are more, I just don’t feel like listing them. And the two I listed are quite striking, any other game would pale compared to them.
Cross†Channel (18+)
Yeah, felt like playing an eroge, chose Cross†Channel as by the descriptions it seemed to be about crazy people who couldn’t fit in society.
The description might have been a bit exaggerated as I find the chars to be somewhat normal…or maybe I’m a crazy person who doesn’t fit in society.
Sure they aren’t exactly the pinnacle of mental stability, but who is? With the exception of the main char (henceforth MC) everyone is kinda normal.
I’ma gonna spoila youre shite! (read that with a Super Mario voice and accent, thank you.)
And yes, anything beyond the “Read More” tag is a spoiler, proceed at your own risk.
Also I may post more eroge rants in the next days, I’m in that mood. (it isn’t a good mood)
God dang youtube…
So, as usual when I have more free time than useful things to do, I went on youtube and looked at the “Recommended” videos list, which in my case is (normally) comprised of all kinds of DIY videos, some bushcraft videos, some political videos and some other topics.
Not today my son, not today.
Today it was all Mr. Bean, ALL OF IT!!
“Damn, you must have watched a fscking marathon of Mr. Bean in the last days, no?”
Nope, two videos, TWO.
