I, for one, cannot wait for Rider to say "Poggers" after we punch Shinji. Pure cinema.
That would be hilarious. But I hope Type Moon is gonna be looking over the translators shoulders like a hawk. Witch on the Holy Night had a typo or two, but it wasn't infected by Current Year TM

It had a lot of typos, and (allegedly) more than a few details in the text went entirely untranslated. To say nothing of going into Aniplex's track record with FGO, with its blackwashing, personality changes, and the like.

Well, we can only hope they do a little better this time, though that's sad to hear. At least I have the original to compare with the port
 
So while playing the konosuba vn that just came out I had to wonder: would Ethan Ralph be too sleazy even for Darkness?
Darkness would break Ralph within a week. He couldn't beat her into submission; she'd like that too much lol. How is the Konosuba VN btw?
 
Currently playing Master Detective something something Rain Code emulated on the steamdeck. The city sections stutter like mad, but it seems that when I'm in the most focused parts it works fine. Starting to get into the Act 1 case proper and I'd say it's finally got it's grasp on me proper.

Did enjoy the start of game fakeout where all the detectives you meet at he train are just fodder to fuck with you. And I really enjoy Shinigami and Kokohead bouncing off each other. Since the city bits performance is pretty dicey, to anybody that has played this, should I really do any sort of secondary quests and hunt high and low looking for stuff in the city or beeline to the golden path? My intent is definitely to get all the shinigami statues, but depends on my annoyance factor.

Beat Nekopara 2 yesterday... which isn't much of a accomplishment, it's like a hour. The first was better I think; that is to say slightly less bland. And no I don't have the sexy patch. These games are haram enough as is lol. And now 3 gigs on my 256 gig laptop ssd are freed up. Need a external drive for this thing so bad lol.

To wash the taste of mediocrity out of my mouth, I moved onto my (very slow) witch on the holy night playthrough. Got through a entire chapter, nice and meaty. Felt good man.
 
No way am I paying $40-$50 for it, but the humor seems to match the show so that's all I really care about. Oh, and of course having the original voices there.
Both English & Jap?

I think 5 (?). I got them for VERY cheap on a steam sale. I'm going to try to finish them, if only to clear space on the SSD and just put them back in my library. It's probably like 3 more hours if I crunch it.

Im like 60% of the way through and feel like dropping it.

IDK the characters are good but the plot is so slow that it is literally putting me to sleep.

Trust me I get it lol. That's why it's taken me basically a year to clear chapter 8
