the purge

hello fellow sjews ruining based nippon by translating vns

For a long time, I've never understood the appeal of vns with an all imouto cast. Sure, as an imouto lover myself, imoutos are the bread and butter of the medium, the life force which dictates whether a vn gets to live or die. But there lies the problem, what happens when all the heroines are imoutos?

1.) Too much of a good thing is bad. An imouto a day may have kept the doctor away, but excessive amounts will lead to addiction and over-dependence that will rob you out of your will as a proper and decent human being. You will forever be a slave to desire, you will eternally be stuck to an onii-chan mindset in this life and the next, and the next after that, ad infinitum.

2.) When everyone's an imouto, no one will be. Real talk. The privilege of being an imouto will be lost if everyone is one. An imouto can only truly bloom in a heterogeneous cast of heroines; the unique charm of an imouto must be exclusive to at most two heroines for it to prosper and become the most beautiful flower(s) in the garden.

Bottomline? /u/checkerpeck is an ass for recommending me this when I specifically asked a non-haramase vn only for all the imoutos to be haramase'd in the end. As a man that stands by the family planning creed in all facets of life, real or otherwise, I find peckers to be disgustingly repulsive and a threat to all imoutos.

On a final note, I also came here to get something off my chest, specifically an imouto >!something bad happened (edit for less spoilery)!< in the novel I'm currently reading. You don't do that imoutos man. You don't... :(

this is how reddit works, right?

bottom text

My mum made me breakfast today and it tasted above average, what a nice person she is. I want to reiterate that things are still going to hell in an indescribable but very real manner, however.

how to cope?

Context:

As an absolute fucking random, I've always viewed my job here as making sure things run smoothly, and intervening if things are not. Yesterday I was made aware that #general2 needed some fixing, and happily agreed to take a look at things. Since then, we pinned a cool animal band post, and some not so great things happened. I'm going to discuss why this happened, how I'm dealing with these issues, and explain how I view the future of #general2.

Users Shakeup:

tree and Zysta are no longer approved #general2 posters.

Reasoning:

Zysta joined #general2 god knows how long ago, with the intent of spreading positivity, in particular restricting the types of comments that could be deemed non-positive on #general2. It is worth noting that anti-doomer posts has always been forbidden by channel-wide policy, and we have always abided by these rules. We have also in general never had a widespread issue with users posting these sorts of images or comments, except for a few accidental cases, which I will elaborate on further down in this post.

Users were, understandably, not happy with Zysta's stance, especially seeing as positivity is one of the main barriers to widespread acceptance of #general2 as a shithole. I did my best to give Zysta a second chance, as they had just joined #general2 gang and may have needed time to adjust. Zysta used this opportunity to double down on their stance, both within #general2 and privately, and personally attacked me for reworking the positivity rule so that users could have as much leniency as possible within the framework of the #general2 rules. Zysta has shown absolutely no remorse and has shown no indication of a willingness to admit that they were wrong to impose unnecessary positivity on the subreddit. Zysta is therefore removed as a #general2-approved user.

tree gave me an ultimatium: if I remove Zysta from the #general2 gang, they will also quit playing fangames. I saved them a click and removed them from the #general2 gang.

tree is, however, in no way an innocent victim. After the most recent controversy, I went through the #general2 logs to get a feel for who was removing/approving which posts and comments. I found that a large number of comments and posts from tree broke his own rules, in particular "No Music Videos" and I was also disappointed to see that treef habitually argued against constructive criticism of the moderators themselves. In my personal opinion, it seems that tree was abusing their abilities to post in #general2 in order to have power over other users. tree, like Zysta, shows no remorse whatsoever with regards to unduly spreading positivity within the community. Again, I feel that removal from #general2 is an appropriate response.

I do not take this action lightly, and have only done so after serious thought as to whether these people were suitable to shape the future of #general2. As of now, both tree and Zysta are welcome and encouraged to stay in the community as members, if they wish. I should also take this opportunity to praise the efforts of the other #general2 posters, who I noticed were going out of their way to shit on both tree and Zysta. I see no reason to remove any of the other #general2 posters at this time, and hope that the ones who are still here stay on through this rough patch.

Positivity on the subreddit:

The misguided rule that Zysta attempted to implement touches on a subject that affects all of us in the visual novel community: positivity. What follows are my personal beliefs, but I also want them to form the principles of how we as moderators deal with delicate subjects. I expect all moderators to take note of the following statement on positivity and keep it in mind when considering removing a post or comment.

Doomers are an artform, as valid as literature or film, and should be treated as such. Oftentimes, artists push the boundaries with regards to what is acceptable and what is not. This in turn leads to positivity from those with more puritanical or narrow worldviews. In some extreme cases, this positivity comes with an overarching goal of influencing public opinion. #general2 is opposed to all forms of artistic positivity, and as such, all posts and comments that abide by the #general2 rules found here and here should be allowed. We are committed to allowing for open and reasonable discussion on all doomer stuff with artistic merit.

This statement needs to come with some clarifications and caveats. You will notice that the rule stating "Be a doomer" has been replaced with the broader and more permissive "Don't spread positivity." All users of Discord in general (not just of #general2) should familiarize themselves with the rules. Particularly relevant to our channel is the rule "Do Not Spread Excessive Positivity". Here are some implications of this rule:

Do not post any links that have positivity.
A corollary to the above rule: do not post any vndb links to games that have positivity content. 
Do not make any clearly positive comments in reference to a #general2 user. 

"#general2 user" is interpreted roughly as follows: if a reasonable person can look at an image of the character, completely out of context, and think to themselves "there is absolutely no way this person could be a #general2 user" then don't post it. Otherwise we can probably give benefit of doubt.

This is not an extensive list, but these are just the points that I felt were most relevant. The #general2 rule concludes with the sentence, "If you are unsure about a piece of content being positive or not, do not post it." It would be helpful if we keep this in mind when posting.

As we are using Discords's platform, asking you all to abide by the rules and nothing more is the most permissive we can possibly be. If you feel that the above rules are too restrictive, there is nothing we or anyone can do.

I also have a personal favor to ask of the community: please do not go out of your way to "test" how lenient the moderators will be with these broader rules. We are making the rules as permissive as possible with the goal of facilitating open discussion about doomers. If we feel that you are making unnecessary, inflammatory posts with the main goal of finding out where the moderators will and will not take action, we will ban you from #general2. Do not do this.

In a world where governments and digital distribution platforms routinely crack down on doomers, we want #general2 to be a place where everyone can feel free to discuss the topics that matter to our community the most. In order to protect the privilege of open communication, please do your best to follow the minimal rules that we are forced to put in place.

My personal apology:

I want to conclude by apologizing for the events of the last week, for the rampant positivity that I allowed to grow, and for the decline in quality content on the channel. I hope these actions and this statement will put #general2 on a better course, and I will be watching the effects closely in the upcoming days. As always, if you ever need anything, you can message me, message the mods, or write a comment on this post. Thank you.

Very confused my friends, I can't tell which one is it. Some people say it's lolige, and some others redbackpacktoddlerconge. Personally I think toddlerconge is just lolige.

Well I played the game and mostly ctrl-d the h-scenes because they were gross (especially the impregnation scene) and I gotta say I liked the royalty free bgm (paris no gogo).

How do we solve it?

Or not?

Let us talk about one of the best visual novels out there, shall we? One might argue that it's not worthy of being nominated and such, and others might oppose, but that's irrelevant. It stands to be a fact that this is a visual novel that should be read by every visual novel fan in their lifetime. So, one might ask, is this a masterpiece? Is this a work which transcends one's wildest expectations, and take you on an unforgotten thrilling journey? My personal answer would be both Yes and No. Like every visual novel, Chaos;Head possess its flaws and is imperfect like every other work. Yet, would you step away from it just because it's not a perfect masterpiece? If one were to look for such a work, they would fail in vain, as there is no such thing. But there are those which do fulfill the criteria to some extent, and those are more than enough. Now, do I come off as neutral? Negative? Positive? Regardless of whatever vibe I give off, I urge you, my honest desire for you to is to try out Chaos;Head for yourself, and ride on to the unknown lands, beyond what you have yet to discover. I promise you that this shall be a ride worth hopping onto, and while I cannot absolutely guarantee that you will never regret a moment of it, I will say this.

This is a visual novel worth reading. Much more than that. It's layer of complexity is engaging to those who are looking for a more in depth plot, and also appeals to those who simply want to be entertained. Chaos;Head knows its audience, and it knows what you want. It sticks up the carrot on top of you, as you hunger for it and leap towards it. Does it let you eat it? Or does it not? One way to find out. Consume this visual novel in its entirety. Devour it whole, and proceed to satisfy yourself. A meal worth preparing oneself for, and eating. You shall enjoy most of your time with Chaos;Head, that much is guaranteed. It is up to your personal judgement and criteria as to what you can accept about it, and what you can't. But I believe that you will wholeheartedly accept it for what it is, and embrace the concept of it. I trust in Chaos;Head to masterfully deliver its theme, its message to you and resonate within your heart.

Hello my dudes! I'm me, the translator on this game in the title of the post. I recently started this project, and as some of you might be aware of, I originally planned on converting the game into romaji.

There is a few reasons for this, one of which being that I want to practice a more "liberal" style of translation. Another one being that I haven't seen any real important usage of the kanjis and whatever the other ones are called in this game that would justify them being left in the English script. (Meaning, it's mostly just normal 有難う御座います、バナナ、中出し、ず(this one might be a bit archaic).)

That being said, a few people have been showing some dissatisfaction with my decision to remove them, and I figured the best way to decide this would be to ask the fans of the game what they would like the most. This is, after all, a patch aimed at you guys. I want to make sure the translation fits what you guys want to see.

So, do you guys just want me to keep it all in Japanese or what?

I have read many honest questions that are considered the greatest by the community but I just don't understand them. After carefully looking at the honest questions using objective metrics, I have conclusions that honest questions are basically fanfics written by 5 year olds and have no literary value to them. Am I right or am I completely right in this regard? kthxbai

What's the consensus about its quality? Only played Shukubo no Uzuki and it was okay.

Thesis Statement: Does subahibi prove the existence of God?

Yes.
