mfw the VN protagonist encounters their Worst Possible Ending and the final narration in the scene is "But, what if things went differently? Could a better world be out there...?"
On Japanese locale, everything was working fine. I saw this tweet, rebooted to English locale, and everything started breaking.
It must be encoding/pulling strings in a locale-specific manner.
I advise switching to Japanese locale or using a locale emulator for Fate/Stay Night
PSA: Fate/stay night's steam version is currently heavilly bugged. Character sprites for different characters are appearing instead of the intended ones, backgrounds are incorrect and seemingly random, voicelines are desynced with the text. Horrible launch.
Love that practically zero Japanese visual novels are even used in any of the advertising for Steam's Visual Novel Fest going on right now, and the actual category in the shop is inundated with loads of things that never in a million years would ever qualify as a visual novel.
The thing you *actually* have to understand about Dragon Ball is that Funimation (and Viz) love to turn it into a parody for no reason because they often do not treat it with as much respect as it deserves.

A;C comes out TODAY and I still can't help but marvel at the absolute state of the steam page.
Doesn't say anything about when it comes out, doesn't say anything in that lil blurb about what the fuck the game even is. Just vibing.
People received their Chaos double pack physicals earlier than intended and started sharing gameplay videos on YouTube and I was expecting a subpar but maybe readable translation of NoAH.
It is just somehow worse than what I was expecting. And I expected very little.
Chaos;Head: dreams and reality as abstract ideals without definition
Steins;Gate: dreams and reality as subjective observations
Robotics;Notes: dreams as ruined by fucking boomers
So, I've been digging through the Rewrite visual novel script decompiles, and apparently found scrapped content where more or less Kotori is a massive stoner and Kotarou thinks weed kills people
For a locale emulator, the actual "locale emulator" program would not work, as that only targets 32-bit processes, and F/SN Steam is 64-bit. I tried Locale_Remulator, which does support this, but I do not seem to be able to make it work. I'm sure something might work, though.
Digging through the Chaos;Child Xbox One demo, finding reference imagery, and realizing they were so 1:1 with it that even some of the random passersby were faithfully recreated down to the smallest detail. Neato stuff. Shoutout to white-bag guy.
I'm just baffled that MAGES has spent the entire past 14 years on this series without hiring an actual competent Japanese->English translator to work on their Japan-side promotional material, which is gratuitously filled to the brim with machine-translated/poorly-written English.
It's time to return to the sky.
25 years ago, KeroQ's debut title—Tsui no Sora—first released.
Today, we are proud to finally present our English translation of Tsui no Sora Remake, the 2020 remake of this cult classic that started it all!
Pls this is a cry for help I need a chuuni shredded goth gf named FES-sama to spit in my food and make babies with and to take care of her and let her sing me to sleep after a night of passionate lovemaking this is an emergency please
Just cleared the story of
#ANONYMOUSCODE
.
And let me just say:
WHAT IN THE HOLY FUCK MY BRAIN HAS EXPANDED TENFOLD.
Sincerely mind-blowing experience. One of a kind.
Especially if you're a longtime fan of this series, yeah.
I was speechless during so much of that.
Happy 10th Anniversary to the first Science Adventure game, Chaos;Head Noah! Noah will always remain the love of my life, now and forever, and I'll never forget.

Sometimes I try to remember where SciADV marketing went wrong, and I get blasted with an unironic ad calling for you to "Become a gay porn voice actor" as the selling point of Chaos;Child.
YEET. Remember11 improvement patch finally out. Feels good to have it done and released and over with. Was really cool to be a part of this effort. Hope everyone likes it.
absolutely fuck that clout-chasing goblin on gbatemp who tried to steal a live-translation of a certain VN and turn it into an in-engine project, entirely against the will and good faith of the live translator. they have destroyed any chances of future live TLs from that creator
mages;fes honestly the funniest thing ever imagine having a concert whose name is the same as a major musician prophet in your series but there is no relation and then you plan this whole event knowing your company is entering insolvency and you announce absolutely nothing
While all of you are waiting for Anonymous;Code, you should play I/O Revision II.
An absolutely spectacular classic cyberpunk/action/sci-fi visual novel about the place of emerging generations in the dawn of a new, convoluted world.
The story of someone seeking someone.
Hey I really like
#UNREAL_LIFE
so I will give away 3 Steam copies sometime on Christmas day (very short notice lol), really just like/RT this and that's it, three random people who do that will get a Steam copy to enjoy
Oh wow, due to the terms of his contract ending, Chiyomaru is stepping down entirely from his role as Chairman/Director at MAGES. His followup tweet says he's in talks with MAGES for still possibly working together.
Interesting to see where this will lead.
Ah, yes, what every Steins;Gate fan far and wide has dreamed of. The 10th Anniversary of Steins;Gate, such a massive milestone in the history of this series. Everyone on Earth is waiting, finally... for S;GE iOS.
Chaos;Child released seven years ago on this day: December 18th, 2014.
Happy seventh, and here's hoping MAGES. produces anything in the series with this much budget ever again.
"please. stop praying for my insane mad scientist!!!! you are making him too strong. he broke out of his depression and the committee can't get him. he's too powerful"
This whole article is honestly such a shining example of how stuck in the past so much of Japan (corporate, especially) is in regard to copyright laws, game marketing, and livestreaming.
They never evolved past equating distribution with unequivocal crime.
TO ANYONE WHO SEES CHAOS;HEAD ON
#Crunchyroll
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DON'T WATCH IT!!!
Read the visual novel for the LOVE OF GOD and ignore the anime because it's an obscenely terrible adaptation and it ruins everything about the source.
So that's... more or less my thread? I have a lot of other random vague feelings, but yeah.
NoAH will continue under other hands. I'll do my best to live. Thank you for understanding.
Yeah, seems the JP NoAH Switch release script is more along the lines of the PS3/PSP releases, which have a *lot* of content scrubbed from the script. Unfortunate, but oh well.
SciADV is so good because R;N spends all its time shitting on boomers and then C;C spends all its time shitting on zoomers but also all of it is entirely valid
Been seeing almost unilateral praise for A;C's story in the West as people play it for the first time. Really glad everyone's enjoying it just as much as I did a year ago when I played at JP launch. Really special game.
Thinking on how I've been into SciADV for around a decade at this point and how dramatically the EN state of things has shifted in that span. In my day, there were no Steam versions. S;G was the only thing to even have an official TL, and it was just based on a fanTL anyway.
Reactivated my Twitter account solely to say all the shitters complaining about
#YaoiDay
and its art are probably still virgin adolescent kiddos
Like seriously
I'm a man that's been with a man and I literally could not care less about the idea of MLM being a problematic fetish
@AdrianGraber
Thank you so much for looking into this! And even making a workaround for it
I just have to wonder how this build made it all the way to retail...
Despite all the negative aspects of today's EVA release, I still got to stream it from my Smart-TV and relive a lot of the moments that inspired one of my favorite visual novels.
Seeing absolute braindead Takes like "Dies irae is misogynistic" and "the LDO is validated in their goals because of their inherent Nazism" and I'm like
did you READ the fucking game?
Neither Steins;Gate 0 nor Occultic;Nine follow the Steins Gate World Line, as Steins;Gate 0 occurs within the Beta attractor field, and Occultic;Nine occurs on a different world layer.
