Re: How do deaf people think?
Also: sign language isn't a language. It's a means to represent a language, like speaking and writing. Since you have signs for concepts, signing can be international (given that the respective grammars are similar enough). But the words the respective communicators associate with the signs will st...

Re: Selecting a path without a walkthrough...
Emi I think latches onto someone she sees pushing themselves through their problems in spite of them. Sure, but just because she's interested doesn't mean Hisao has to reciprocate. Right on. However, training flag means that he does. I ended up liking Emi but she wasn't someone I'd intended to purs...

Re: Selecting a path without a walkthrough...
Emi I think latches onto someone she sees pushing themselves through their problems in spite of them. Rin I think is unfortunately meant to be something of an outcast choice for someone that can't relate to anyone else. Both are bad, but I'm not sure of an alternative (such as flagging stuff in-game...

Re: How do deaf people think?
I'm not sure if that's actually a bit sad... is it better for these alternate languages to keep the 'flavor' of local dialects or for them to form the basis of a truely global language? Feels a bit like a lost opportunity to me, like those who have all senses have forced others to play the same stu...

Re: Selecting a path without a walkthrough...
I followed my own decisions and ended up on a route I hadn't intended.
Emi. I wanted Shizune or Rin. Now that I've seen the flowchart I think the 'training flag' is a bit heavily loaded.

Re: How do deaf people think?
For the hearing among us, when you hear yourself thinking, do you hear it in your ACTUAL voice or in the way your voice sounds from inside your own head? For me it's the latter, which makes it a bit startling sometimes to hear myself on a recorded message, being confronted with how different a voic...

Re: How do deaf people think?
And I rather have people asking me and trying to understand what I'm willing to tell than being ignorant and assume everything. I'm not 'some poor deaf guy' either, doing well for myself at the moment (in that regard I'm a bit the same as Hanako, I want to be treated as an equal as much as possible...

They're not 'black' either.

Re: How do deaf people think?
Glasses. Why else would Shizune have them? This makes so little sense that I have somehow have to believe it. It's a 'joke' from the 'GIMMIE THE CHOCOLATE, HISAO!' strip. @Metalangel: I have one very strong HA and one CI. And I grew up in a completely hearing surrounding, learning to speak the 'nor...

Re: How do deaf people think?
Not too prying, but (as I mentioned in Hanako's Broken Heart Club) I'm not late deafened nor do I have a progressive hearing loss, my hearing loss has been like this for as long as I can remember (at very least since I was a couple years old, before I learned to speak). FYI: Cochlear Implant skips ...

Re: Which relationship do you think will last?
One thing that's always struck me about the Shizune path (the end is vague, yes, but very hopeful), is that scene on the roof in act IV (The Summit). She basically says she admires you (pretty high praise from Shizune) and that you made her feel like everything was worthwhile, implying that was not...

Re: How do deaf people think?
As a deaf person with hearing aids, I can tell you I'm not thinking in my own voice, just in a 'neutral' voice... Man, that would be annoying as hell if you're male and got a very high-pitched voice, both when talking and when thinking... :lol: I apologize if this is too prying, but if you have HAs...

Re: Is Miki black?
As far as I know, spanish are white europeans just like italians or french. Yes, but they live in warmer parts of Europe so they potentially get more sun. There are plenty of different ethnic groups within 'white european' too. It might be the correct time to demand a Miki path! There will never be...
