Guys reading eroges: Disgusting, perverts.

Girls reading eroges: Hot, kinky.

Saw this funny comment and was reminded of this little seggs book club. I wonder how it'll go telling a potential date you like reading VNs/eroges?

Animeme version.

They're more funny than horny most of the time.

~~The real Katawa Shoujo~~ , just like the real DDLC

This meme from u/gambs gave a good chuckle, and I was trying to figure out how to follow-on from the original joke when I came across this old meme template and realized it was perfect.

Alternate solution 1: Everyone's 18 years and older, but it's not specified whether those are in Earth years or some other planet's years where time is faster...

Alternate solution 2: They're held back if they're in highschool, but they're prodigies if they're elementary/middle school and were promoted to high school because of their intelligence beyond their years.

Alternate solution 3: They're not dumb, just extra studious in wanting to make sure they learn everything before they graduate when the VN ends.

Nevertheless, what a tragic and strange afflict- HANK! NOOOOOOOO!!!!!

One possible reason, for those that don't get it.

This feature proposal from the VNDB beta has made it into the live site! We can now start tagging VNs known to have DRM:

Alrighty, still not really polished or finished yet, but it doesn't look like the main data model or guidelines will change much so I've pushed it live now.

If you want to filter for DRM-free visual novel releases, you can do that now.

I consider this mission accomplished. \o/

The wording "Digital Restrictions Management" was almost snuck into the guidelines proposal, and unfortunately I can't claim to have had anything to do with that :)

The official guidelines are available here. Interestingly, the final wording is:

Some releases have DRM (Digital Rights Management or, more accurately, Restrictions Management)

Now for the fun part: documenting which releases are encumbered with DRM. If you know one of the VNs you've purchased has DRM or is DRM-free, please help by editing the VNDB releases entry to reflect this!

Hopefully, we'll all be able to make more informed purchasing decisions now.

Same smile, same tooth fang, same age...

If only it was the same VA (Minegishi Yukari) instead of Kaguya's VA (Aoi Koga).

A little surprised they went with this character archetype as the MC, but I'm not complaining.

Would the plural of "Completionist" be "Completionists"?

If you're a fan of anthropomorphic animals and the detective noir genre, I highly recommend the visual novel Chicken Police! Includes an interrogation mechanic, great voice acting, an interesting world, great humor, and awesome jazz music. There is a brief instance of partial nudity, but it isn't vulgar.

Available on Steam, along with a free demo: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1084640/Chicken_Police__Paint_it_RED/

Watch a full-length, no commentary playthrough of the game here: https://youtu.be/aCrjz7dJdVg

There's also a sequel in the works called Chicken Police: Into the Hive!

"The boobie physics must be impeccable in this rig you build, capisce?"

"Absolutely, m'Lord. But what about if they are fla-"

"Shh! Don't let Rush-...her hear you... do you want to get us all killed?! But to answer your question, their frames can go to the other girls."

"Terribly sorry, m'Lord. Very good."

"Excellent. Now then, time for exercise."

"At once, m'Lord."

Is it worth upgrading from 16GB RAM if the only games you play nowadays are VNs...? Decisions, decisions...

We've been working on a guide to help players on all major GNU/Linux distributions play visual novels for the past few weeks. This guide is designed to be used by both beginners and experts, with minimal need to touch the command line.

openSUSE wins the award for "never had to touch the terminal" and "simplest setup instructions", but Fedora is a close second.

While there are a few existing visual novel guides for GNU/Linux around, we've tried to fill in the gaps we noticed. We've put a lot of research into this guide and ensured it is accurate while remaining simple and approachable.

If you're interested, start here!

We have an extensive Troubleshooting section on our Problems page if you're having trouble getting visual novels to work, too.

I wrote this guide with a lot of help from two other people, including /u/neo@lemmy.comfysnug.space. It’s available on our community wiki, https://wiki.comfysnug.space. As with all pages on our wiki, it’s licensed under Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0, meaning you’re free to share, remix, and build on the content as long as you credit us.

We also have some other pages you may find useful:

• If you're looking for something to play, check out our Recommendations page.
• If you want to know where and how to buy a visual novel you want to play, our comprehensive Buying page will help you out.
• And if you want to read a visual novel in Japanese, our Reading in Japanese page offers a lot of advice and points you to some useful software to make the process easier.
