I may or may not forgot February already started. Sorry about that.

First things first, I've added three new English translation patches to our VN Patch List. These patches are for:

Mabino×Style
Murasame-村雨-
Suzumiya Haruhi no Chokuretsu

I also thought about adding the recently released translation patch for Shizuku but I don't think this release is really set up for a general general public and might be too confusing for them. Empty Github repo with no instructions or information about the patch does not make for an approachable project in my eyes.
I'd like our patch list to be useful for both power users and those who know just enough to follow basic instructions and this just doesn't pass my personal threshold.
Does anyone else have a different view on this matter? I'd love to see how people feel about it.

On a personal side of things, I didn't have much time to read much recently. I am still planning to continue with clearing my backlog and I already installed Chuusotsu 1st Graduation - Time After Time with that in mind.
I know absolutely nothing about this story as I grabbed it completely at random (translator released it for free on itch.io for limited time) so I hope I'm not about to step on a surprise emotional landmine.

Unless I'm forgetting something, this and Miniature Garden are the only remaining VNs in my library before I'm left with more time consuming titles - mainly of the Devil and Steins;Gate. I'm getting there.
