I have an MB and AEB has been nothing if not extremely useful. It saved me from hitting a pedestrian who I didn't see, thank god.

Technical "car" is short for "carriage" and trains have carriages.

What do you mean by "way ahead"? I don't follow.

I am sincerely curious what you consider a non-linear VN. Maybe I've been unconsciously avoiding them so my perspective here is too skewed. Do you perhaps mean VNs where you choose where to go each day, e.g. さよならを教えて～comment te dire ad

For sure. The noncon convention is maybe my least favorite. I won't elaborate on HN.

Are there any video games you consider to have good writing?

by jquery 3y ago
So it's linear if you ignore the parts that aren't? Without a walkthrough and a some meta experience with VNs it's pretty easy to end up somewhere other than one of the four true endings and walk away satisfied. Anyway we are

The majority of visual novels have branching paths after a common route that lead to entirely different endings. I think perhaps you shouldn't speak with such authority on the medium. Many have terrible writing, many have excellent wri

As Subuhibi is one of my all time favorite VNs, I feel obligated to strongly disagree. Here's a flowchart of the game. https://www.reddit.com/r/visualnovels/comments/71pc08/subara... There are many

The Steinsgate VN starts off very slow and stays very slow for quite some time. I also found it tedious. Fortunately there are hundreds (thousands) of other VNs to choose from.

Some of the best visual novels have almost no choices at all. Higurashi only has a few choices at the very end. Same with Umineko. And then there are masterpiece VNs absolutely chock full of choices and an extremely complex story graph, lik

That question is like asking a film lover, "what film is over two hours"? The answer is "lots of them". Branching isn't considered gameplay. And of course fans are against gameplay, the genre is defined by the lack

These visual novel "games" have more in common with books or films than games like BotW. They usually have an "autoplay" button. Visual novels are overwhelmingly dominated by Japanese companies so if you're gonna us

Interesting, TIL. I still think modern suburbs are defined by their relationship to cars, not trains.

Oh how I wish the suburbs I grew up in could have been as diverse and interesting as those SF "suburbs".

by jquery 3y ago
Not the person you were asking, but to me, "suburban" is not defined by density, but by how walkable an area is. Even relatively low density neighborhoods can be urban under this definition as long as residential isn't zoned

Yes and it used CDs that competed alongside the N64's low storage capacity.

by jquery 3y ago
The Gamecube and N64 were both nerfed by Nintendo's insistence on using proprietary storage formats. The N64 cartridge size ranged from 4mb to 64mb (64mb being the maximum at the end of the console's lifespan). The GameCube used m

Ok, after trying out the emulation, I can safely say it is far below the experience on the Switch. I feel sorry for anyone solely doing emulation thinking they're getting the full Zelda experience. The controls are janky and laggy. The

Nintendo had plenty of tools to stop Zelda from working on emulators, at least for a few weeks after release. I am curious why they chose not to bother.

Ah, the sweet aroma of coverage bias, isn't it just the spice of the journalistic world? The quest to avoid blatant falsehoods is relatively straightforward, much like a game of whack-a-mole. Identify the blabbermouths, the rumor-monge

Yeah, YouTube premium is one of those rare subscriptions that as soon as it lapses I immediately resubscribe. The value for the money is just too good.

It's about using the right tool for the right job. GPT-4 is an incredibly versatile generalist tool and a fantastic jack of all trades. However, this comes with some drawbacks. While saying it 'sucks' might be an exaggeration

Most humans fail at doing simple arithmetic in their head. At the very least I'd say GPT4 is superior to 99% of people at mental math. And because it can explain its work step by step it's easy to find where the flaw in its reaso

Indeed. Touchscreens are extremely flexible interfaces, but they are not superior in certain use cases, especially where eyes must be kept elsewhere.
