Why is she doing the Akuma pose?
>>571326986Standing?
>>571317464He was only negating the Victorians, who had already abandoned actual medieval values. Your distant ancestors did not have a word for romantic love. They did not believe in a transcendent emotion felt between men and women that existed as a more pure form of sexual desire. The introduction of such an idea into our culture is completely foreign and likely results from a mistranslation of the Greek EROS, which means lust, and a misinterpretation of Plato. Unfortunately the idea took root as a method of expressing eros in a Church-friendly way. “I’m not like those barbarians who just want to fuck you! I just want to write you poetry and bask in your beauty!” Malory skewered this almost as soon as it was introduced. Your wiser predecessors knew better. The Victorians, to their eternal shame, brought the idea back.“Bringing romantic love back to marriage” makes about as much sense as bringing buggery back to marriage. It’s not supposed to be a prerequisite whatsoever. What we call romantic love today is actually a juncture between eros and loyalty. Loyalty plus eros pair-bonds a man to a woman; If we did not feel loyalty we would be like rabbits, see women as walking sperm toilets and not bother to devote our resources to ensuring that she carries to term and that the child is raised to maximize its status and odds of survival. This protective instinct is what makes you feel all fuzzy inside when you think of your woman. And this, plus eros, is all you need to feel for your woman to make a marriage work.>Proverbs 5:15 (ESV) Drink water from your own cistern, flowing water from your own well. 16 Should your springs be scattered abroad, streams of water in the streets? 17 Let them be for yourself alone, and not for strangers with you. 18 Let your fountain be blessed, and rejoice in the wife of your youth, 19 a lovely deer, a graceful doe. Let her breasts fill you at all times with delight; be intoxicated always in her love.
>>571326986Messatsu>>571327068Otherwise known as the Emiya pose
>>571326986She's a devil (under the sheets).
>>571328971
>>571327746Eh?
>>571330843I'm gonna be honest, this is me when I'm standing with my back to a camera.
>>571331137I am the bone of my sword
>>571331205That video where somebody got Ian McKellen to read the entire UBW chant at a con is my gold standard for unbearable cringiness. I literally can't rewatch that fucking video.
I'm GAR for Rick.
>>571331546WHY IS HANNY SO GAY?
>Rick is a Char clone>Archer is Millions Knives from Trigun>Rance is a parody of Adol>Kenshin is Japanese Saber>Arcueid from Tsukihime is based on a woman from Canada that Takeuchi saw in a magazine ad>Aoko and Alice from Mahoyo were explicitly based on Asuka and Rei originallyWhy are the Japanese so unoriginal?
>>571332728>Rance is a parody of AdolDid you forget Yuusha Arios
>>571331137How can one man stand with his arms in a neutral position so well?
>>571333316Fate has a lot of great Jojo-esque>GOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOsprites.
Though nothing in the Fate VN has a more menacing aura than this Rin.
>>571333639most iconic part of them for me is how many have stares that pierce your soul
>>571334412It's probably a proof of my autism that when I first started reading visual novels, the sprites staring directly at the player unironically triggered my anxiety response. It was hard for me to meet their gaze. Though I got over it after a while.
>>571327746I need this explained in terms of glasses girls.
>>571327746I think I heard that historians into cultural studies of this sort of thing say that Tristan and Isolde is the first explicit appearance of romantic love in the western imagination as we know and understand it today.Wagner also said a couple centuries later,>Doch unsre Liebe, heißt sie nicht Tristan und - Isolde?
You won't make me unbelieve in the power of love
>>571334891True love is when a glasses girl lets you glaze her lenses with your Hyper Weapon.>>571335842I don't wanna try to fight this loveHow dangerous can it beI know the odds are so unfavorableAnd honesty's forsakableSo many run for safetyRun from theDanger of falling in love like thisDanger of falling apartIn the hands of anotherDanger in falling in love like thisCold sweat craving the darkSo completelySo sweetlyDangerThings have gone wrongThey do more often than they don'tI was a child beforeA soldier in defenseI'll take the leapI've gone so far for lesser goldI wanna know this lifeBy your sideI don't wanna try to fight this loveHow dangerous can it beI know the odds are so unfavorableAnd honesty's forsakableSo many run for safetyRun from theDanger of falling in love like thisDanger of falling apartIn the hands of anotherDanger in falling in love like thisCold sweat craving the darkSo completelySo sweetlyDanger
>>571336285That doesn't translate to me wanting to put a baby on the glasses girl.
>>571336685"on"!?
>>571334143There was a western artist who drew Rance and Rin fucking. IIRC it didn't look bad at all.
>>571337454Aiiiyaaa I need glasses myself
>>571327746I miss the bonds of brotherhood between men. We lost that to promote the true love narrative and now that's dead in the water too, perpetuating through vague sentiment that that's what we should be doing even though everyone knows that your wife will probably be gone in 5 years, 10 if you're lucky.
>>571343448
Shouldn't a ballcat charm attract the ballcat TO you rather than away from you? Whatever.I bet that NPC that asked Rance to kill the witch for her is actually Io in disguise.The scene where you recruit Shizuka was written rather oddly. She basically tells Maria that they are no longer friends because their paths in life will inevitably split, then does her ritual, but when Rance goosh goosh's her immediately afterwards, she doesn't seem to be particularly upset and is even willing to help the team despite going full Sasuke Uchiha 2 minutes prior.I wonder if I am actually not meant to be able to save Cynthia's sister just yet, or if I missed some sort of item.
>>571350249>The scene where you recruit Shizuka was written rather oddly.Women's feelings are ephemeral and their actions are inconsistent, the writers were just being realistic here.
>>571350249>she doesn't seem to be particularly upset when Rance goosh goosh's herThat's basically every woman in this series. It don't think any of them takes it seriously
>>571351876Shizuka seemed to take it seriously in 03, though that might have been retroactive characterization.
>>571351876The squirrel-fucker was pretty mad
>>571352232I read it as her being pissed at who Rance is as a person rather than being raped
>>571354672Those two things tend to be two sides of the same coin in such a situation.
I finished right before the fight with Atlanta. I like the game quite a bit, but the gameplay has increasingly become a drag. There's auto mode, of course, but it's like deliberately programmed to be bad.The way the game handles dialogue is also rather poor, there's ludicrous amounts of repetitive textboxes and no backlog, so you're bound to miss some text when you encounter a new event unexpectedly.It's also really easy to click options you don't want sometimes because the textbox centers on your cursor.
>>571350249Shizuka wants to love Rance but Rance is a retard at that point in his life and his retardation puts her off.The same can be said of a lot of women in Rance's life until he stops being as retarded.
I raped her, Hannies... I used her goods... I defiled her...
>>571326692>Rance X - Translation: 100% – Editing: 80%Wait a minute...that's actually kinda big. A month ago that number was at 56%, number go up. The final solution to Rance X problem. It's coming.
>>571350249She loves her nakadashi
>>571360169used goods, you say?
>>571361858Mein Waifu Retia, the only GK our team has had that wasn't a jobbing shitter
>>571334890kinda wish there was a complication of all gacha collab scenes somewhere, for a lot of characters it's the only way to hear them voiced
>complicationcompilationI need to fix my sleep
kanami
>>571383347is useless and would be better with glasses
>>571383554She has good eyesight
>>571383347why is useless ninja so cute
>>571385086That's the only thing she's good at
Explain the appeal of glasses girls
>>571386501made to suffer
>>571386501When they trip and fall down, their glasses fall off and they can't see anything.
>>571387724silly creatures
>>571375248The flower one I think have a voiced lines attached on the wiki section
>>571375248I agree with you, but that would require making someone play these gacha games, which is a cruel proclamation.
Who are your top 5 male characters that aren't Rance or Rick?
>>571396556Barres Kay Patton Hubert Abert
>>571396556KayLeiAbertHubertBarres
>>571397318What keeps puryos from overtaking the world through infinite cell division?
>>571397404Hannies.
>>571397404Maria eats them
>>571397404Planner culls them once every two years or so for breaking the balance
>>571397404Puryos combine into bigger puryos so if there's too many in one spot they just coalesce together like agar.io blobs
>>571402335Holy shit agar io is dead. What happened?
My top 3>Tilde>Kanami>Shizuka
>>571402756>he has used goods in his top 3
>>571402917Shizuka deserved it
>>571402756Why does the fanbase like tsundere/hard-to-get girls i.e. Kanami and Shizuka over the head-over-heels types like Sill, Maria, and Lia? Is it the same reason why girls like aloof guys over simps?
>>571397318She's 13
>>571406046Lia is also really popular here though? Same as Satella, Maria and Sill are just boring.
>>571406046I like those 3 for self-inserting purposes. But Lia is actually also pretty high on the list.
>>571406046>the fanbasePretty much every fanbase is like that. Tsundere or cold girls tend to be the most popular ones.
I tend to like the archetype of girls who are really into a guy and are unafraid to make it known like Lia. Sill doesn't count because she's a slave and doesn't get to make her own decisions :^)
>>571406046Shizuka gets betterMaria gets worseSill is a moralfag
>>571406046Sill is just boring and enforced main girl
>>571406046Because Lia is fucking S tier.
This is a pro Lia general
>>571408352Like Rise from P4?
>>571406046I don't think Kanami and Shizuka are popular entirely because they are tsundere. It's more to do with how their relationships develop with Rance across the entire series.
>>571406046Love is War, and no one likes an opponent that doesn't put up a fight
Niwas, why are the Green Hannies so weak? I read in a magazine that Green guys are supposed to be strong, but why do Green Hannies keep losing to Blue ones!? It's not fair...
>>571406046I think people notice the tsundere-lovers more because their popularity seems more surprising, but the obvious options always get some love. It's media though and there's no reason not to like the most interesting characters, so tsunderes win out overall. Maria is not just boring, she has an anti-waifu arc. Sill is just actually uninteresting, Lia is head-over-heels but she's also insane, and thus more popular.
Kanami is really kute and Shizuka is hot.
>>571412570Shizuka is more cute than hot
>>571396556KekblisPattonAbertRockyBarres
>>571406046Tsunderes are more exciting because of the rollercoaster of tsuntsun and deredere phases. Same goes for crazy women, too.As a kitschy band from Scotland put it, "Colour my life with the chaos of trouble".Tsunderes also appeal more to one's masculine instincts, as something to be conquered rather than something already owned.
I like Sill
>>571413029She's cute, but she's not really the type of woman to spark fire in a man's loins.
>>571413294Bird and Rance both disagree with you about that
>>571413524Rance is seldom excited to fuck Sill. 9 times out of 10, she's a glorified cumsock, because she's almost always there and always puts out.
This pure maiden is good.
>>571413692Maria's fat fingers typed this post
>>571413294I think she's more than enough to make most men happy.
Mineva might be my favorite character, and story wise not sex wise ofcourse.
>>571414119The kind of woman that excites men and the kind of woman that can make a man happy are usually acknowledged to be two separate types of women.
>>571415115Hard disagree. They're exactly the same for me.
Reminder that Sill is unforgivable homewrecking whore for ruining Jill's happiness
>>571415785jill...
>>571415785>>571416626"Shiru" and "Jiru" are separated by only an apostrophe.
>>571415785True!
>our system thinks your post is spamKYS. sex with every girl posted itt.
What do you think of loyal girls like Elizabeth with a massive body count but it was all noncon? Would you marry her?
>>571413864I like how they made her look ugly here. Like yeah some used goods trying to roleplay as a schoolgirl irl would look nasty.
>>571422243Are you lolicon by any chance? You can call Maris lot of things, but ugly isn't one of them even when she's trying and failing to pretend to be younger than she is
>>571422243Screw you buddy, hags dressing up in age inappropriate clothing happens to be a fetish of mine
>>571422430He's just jealous of the size and splendor of her bow
>>571422883I won't judge you because I love cute girls dressed in male clothes.
>Alma is traumatized rape victim>Rance is nice and kind to her>Kou gets raped and traumatized>Rance is extremely kind and nice to her>Feliss gets raped and traumatized by Devils>Rance starts acting nice and kind to herI'm seeing a pattern here. Clearly all you need to be treated well by Rance is to get raped (by someone else)
>>571422430Maris isn't ugly but that sprite looks off. It's not sprites in VNs is it? I forgot what they're called in English.
>>571424092hanny i think you might be gay
>>571424773Because I like cute girls?
>>571424857no the other thing
>>571424996Male clothes are cool. Cute girls look pretty good when they use them.
Hi /haniho/,Daiakuji is now fully available in English!MEGA: https://mega.nz/file/Zjs3zIxI#w_zugx6sVZSZr4XDDvbvOBBO6jGbt3Jo6SKnj9KU3pkMediafire: https://www.mediafire.com/file/rjp07x5eulsr99i/Daiakuji+English+Patch+ver.1.00.rar/fileIf you don't already know, Daiakuji is the missing link between SR and KR and a very fun game in its own right. If you like either of those or strategy games in general, you'll like this one.Enjoy!
>>571426360Holy shit this is insane. I thought this wasn’t gonna happen until next year. Thank you!!
>>571426360Woah
>>571426360Well done Hanny,thanks, always believed. Hope you are doing alright.
>>571426360thanks niws
>>571426360What's the release order between this, the space game and the school game?
>>571429221Daiakuji came out first, the school game came out second, the space game came out last.
>>571426360If I much prefer SR to KR, will I hate this?
>>571426360
>>571429547ToT
>>571429481Probably. It’s kind of crusty like KR but what can you expect, it’s old.You should still play it though because it lets you sell women and brutally beat them up (even shown in CGs!!!)
>>571429971So this game was the inspiration for Dohna Dohna then.
>>571429971>You should still play it though because it lets you sell women and brutally beat them up (even shown in CGs!!!)I'll never understand the appeal of this.
>Patton raised by loving surrogate mother Hunty and with happy childhood ends up as unhappy angry retard>Lia raised by loving caretaker Maris ends up as unhappy psychopath in dire need of rape correction>Magic raised by absentee dad ends up as uptight but saneZeth education is clearly superior
>>571432170The real takeaway here is that you can't raise a kid with only a mother.
>>571430756I didn’t really get it either but one day I stumbled onto porn where a girl was killed during sex (fake obviously) and it was like a switch clicked in my brain. It’s hard to explain you just have to experience it.
>>571432297I'll buy that for Patton since his dad was haremchad that was apparently fucking his other wives around and fell for Stressel's bullshit pretty fast, but Lia had both of her parents alive and well and they clearly cared about her.
>>571432170pressure free
>>571432851>pressure free education>Magic, Eropicha and other elites shown to be stressing over exams and studyingExplain
>>571432170Magic is incompetent as a leader while Lia isn't. It says the mediafire has been taken down for violations of terms of service.
>>571432750The only time we see them they are completely incompetent and potentially retarded.
>>571432593Hyperweapons should spread love and happiness, not suffering.
>>571433994King was senile but his dialogue still showed his love for Lia. Queen was still sane though unrealistic for being so caring and patient with her senile husbando
>>571433756Forgot to link >>571426360Mediafire is down for terms of service violations
Pure young maiden
>>571436285whore
>>571436476but a high class one worth more than helman's gdp
We've discussed which game series have the best girls, but what about which one has the worst?No Western games, that's cheating!
>>571426360Will hopefully play this week but may need to wait until weekend.
>>571426360Here's an interview TADA and Orion did to promote the game as a bonus:https://alicesoft.miraheze.org/wiki/Daiakuji_Colorful_PureGirl_Interview>>571434807Thanks for letting me know. Here's the re-up link; we'll see if this one lasts:https://www.mediafire.com/file/iw0oj6y94v8lxdi/DKJ+ENG+ver.1.00.rar/file>>571427205I'm not that hanny, unfortunately. I was working on this on my own for ~2 years and didn't know someone else was doing the same. I've heard he's still planning to release his patch down the line, though.>>571429481If KR is an adventure game with the presentation of a strategy game and SR is a full-fledged strategy game, Daiakuji is the midpoint. It's a lot more substantial than KR in terms of gameplay, but at it's core it's still more about experimenting and discovering secrets than it is about combat.
>>571439901this human translation or MTL?
>>571439901>different guyThat's very funny
>>571440152I poured my blood, sweat, and tears into this one. It's something I wanted to do for a long time and slowly worked up to. Hopefully I did it justice.
>>571441693good job anon
>>571439901>sniping an announced TL without giving the guy a heads up>no info whatsoever when you startedScum. Any proof this isn't MTL?
>>571446356>sniping an announced TL without giving the guy a heads upisn't that standard practice when a translator is dragging their feet?
>>571446356You should've seen the early Alicesoft translation days if this is getting you that mad.
>>571439901>>571441693Other Daiakuji TL here (the non-MTL one)While I'm admittedly upset you didn't give me any sort of heads up for this (I did put in some crazy effort into this too, and certainly could've liked help/to help), I'm also thankful there was someone else crazy enough to take on this huge undertaking and manually translate the game into English. I'd like to at least know what you did to tackle the technical side of this game since it was one of the things giving me the most trouble from day one.At least I'm free now. Sorry I dragged my feet for so long, niwas, but IRL was getting in the way too much.
Been on the net a while but sniping a project of several years has gotta be a first, what a fucking degenerate
>>571447087Try this awakening pill
>>571448023oops meant for >>571430756
>>571441693Pity the two of you couldn't work together but glad for this nonetheless. Thanks for the work. >>571447565I also appreciate your work anon.
>>571447874as an SMT fan i wish it happened more often frankly
>>571447874what's this about?
>>571448023hey wait a minute this is just straight guro. where's the eroticism?
>>571434608Rance doesn't really do that, most of the time, it's his most unlikable trait, intended audience-wise.
>>571448023This is disgusting. Cute girls should be loved, not killed as long as they're virgins at least. Yuri is cringe tho.
Oh cool the CGs were edited too. Nice.
>>571406338if rance doesnt care neither shall i.
>>571448652if you didn't pop a boner from the leg movements alone im afraid there's no helping you.
>>571447874I have never understood "sniping" drama in fantranslation circles. Nobody's getting paid, people do it as a hobby for the benefit of others, and you can't very well call dibs on something like this. The other translator's work now doesn't mean anything unless the released one is aggresively bad, sure that sucks, but he had tons of time to release it and didn't, and we've finally got a game that hadn't been translated for 20 something years. I remember old manga scanlation groups getting in wars with each other because they were fighting for donations and ego back in the day, and it was gross.
>>571447565I feel a bit sorry for you, niwa. Take it as practice for improving your japanese and writing skills. I hope this won't put you off working on other personal projects in future, however small they may be.
