Talk about some proper nippon Visual Novels! Whether you're playing one right now or a novel you've already completed.
No fucking english parody shit allowed!
Take your doki doki and shove it up your faggot ass!
>Eiyuu Senki
I dont know how but it took me 116 hours to beat it. I only skipped the optional dungeon. Let me just tell you that it was a long fucking week of suffering playing that game. Just nonstop talking from the characters in different scenes and just when you think it will stop it just keeps going. Then you go into battle again and then you're in for a long fucking talking session again. Rinse and repeat for the whole fucking game. Theres like maybe 6 or so sex scenes (probably more it was like 2 years ago i beat it) and to even get a sex scene you need to conquer someone and that means a fuckton of battles and a fuckton of talking. I spent a week straight just fucking playing this shit and by the end of it i was pretty much mindbroken by how long and shitty it was. A week of nonstop fapping/sweating/boredom and just waiting for it to end. Another thing that bothered me was their faces. If you look at the cover art you can see how the faces are designed. Their chins are like triangely and pointy and it makes the characters look retarded. Look at this screencap i took from one of the faces in the cover. It looks like she has downs syndrome! So theres that. I dont know wha

Discuss emulation-related things here.

NEWS

>ユデア天堂 shoahs Ryujinx not through lawsuits but by buying out/threatening the main developer to quit and delete fucking everything.
>However, no DMCAs were filed against the source code unlike Jewzu and none of the contributors were banned nor were any forks taken down, so the emergence of a successor-fork is only a matter of time unless 任天堂 feels like resuming the endless game of DMCA-mole or buying more slaves across the wider emu community.
>The unthinkable has happened and Bloodborne has become playable on PC in less than a month after it first went ingame using shadPS4, a few dozen other games have gone ingame since then.
>Of note is that the emulator requires FSGSBASE instructions necessitating an Intel Ivy bridge or first generation AMD Zen CPU at minimum.
>With Xbox one game encryption having been successfully cracked, various Xboner wrappers soon emerged so people can finally play the vast library of fantastic Xbox wan exclusives beyond the clutches of Microsoft even though none of them run Lunix yet. XWine1 and WinDurango are the most prominent at the moment, with XWine1 capable of playing Minecrap to some degree.
>RPCS3 wires up online multiplayer emulation for a variety of games including Armored Core for Answer.
>MAME devs cook up Nuked-SC55 for emulating the Roland SC-55 Midi synth for all your obscure Nipponese エロゲ and/or Doom needs.
>Dolphin switches to new release model, now instead of one (1) "stable" release every 10 years they'll publish a new "stable" release every 6 months which should make organizing netplay gamenights somewhat easier.

Is your game a disc image or a PKG?
PKGs need to be installed to the emulated HDD, disc images need to be decrypted then mounted.

I upgraded the fuck out of my setup a couple months ago and I've just been emulating PS3 games. Honestly that console had a surprisingly underrated library. We made fun of it back in the day but by the end of its life cycle it had some really good shit in it.
Went through Asura's Wrath and MGS4 recently, That was a lot of fun. Currently playing through the first Infamous game. I'm liking it.

HUNTAIN?

Or do you hate MonHunt and want to bitch? Well friend, come on over. We have room in this thread for many opinions, even wrong ones. I myself haven't played in a while. Rise didn't catch on with me the same as the other ones did. I hate the dogs, to much going on with all the palicios and everything during a hunt. Maybe I should give it another go. 
Also maybe we could get a hunting group together again. We did it a bit for portable 3rd and it was pretty fun.

Also why not lift the restrictions on the flags? A lot of good stuff could fit in 48x48, many Metal Slug sprites or similar stuff. I don't see the point of arbitrarily limiting to 32x32. So what if they stick out the top? They already do as is, just slightly increase the padding between posts by a couple pixels so they don't obscure text.

It's more a matter of deluding people into thinking everything is fine when they've actually put everything into AI accelerators and the race to build the gangster police communist CIA Frankenstein computer god. They literally make 100x the money per wafer from dedicated AI cards vs graphics, so they only build a token amount to pretend everything is fine and then charge out the ass for the graphics chips that are still useful for entry-level AI.

>Aquaplus President and Key Co-Founder Justify Censorship as Vital for Global Market Reach and Revenue
https://archive.fo/lTizR
<“With the Japanese market shrinking, Steam’s massive global player base is crucial,” Shimokawa explained. He pointed out that Japan’s once-strong visual novel market is in decline, forcing companies like Aquaplus and Key to sanitize themselves for international sales.
<Shimokawa remains defiant in principle, even if reality demands compromise. When discussing the ToHeart remake, he made it clear that the core emotion “the bittersweetness of youth” was more important than following trends like making protagonists more mild-mannered. “If we made them milder, it wouldn’t be ToHeart,” he argued, drawing inspiration from Steven Spielberg’s regret over editing E.T.
<To make matters worse, Nintendo of America has begun systematically blocking Japanese titles from the Switch simply for containing suggestive imagery, whether it’s a bath scene, implying nudity or even a simple kiss.

Predictions?
I'm probably too optimistic, but I expect the name and very similar design to bite them in the ass, like with the Wii U.
It will absolutely not sell as well as the switch without another chink-flu and Animal Crossing.
Maybe it will all depend on the games, remember those? What do you think is going to be the "console-seller"? A new 3D bing bing wahoo and walking-sim Zelda?

>uploading everything to jewgle drive as opposed to just torrenting them (which people later did, better late than never i guess)
