Re: Lilly and politically correct language for the blind
Lilly never was very concerned about Hisao's words, he was the one who made it awkward for himself. Master of Romance, indeed. 8) True, but Hisao has the gift of making it awkward for everybody. He even called Hanako on it and made her feel bad at one point in Lilly's branch (just got that far toda...

Re: Lilly and politically correct language for the blind
I was going to write a small wall of text, but i can sum it up with: awkward Hisao is awkward. Heh. No kidding. In real life I'd consider it a small miracle for him to date some of these girls. But then, the game ended up being almost educational, in an "eye-opener" sort of way, so I gues...

Lilly and politically correct language for the blind
I'm playing through Lilly's path right now. Being as I've done Hanako's path, and have been through the game at least three times, I've read quite a bit of dialog with Lilly to begin with, but now I'm focusing on it. Hisao seems to frequently worry about using words like "see" and "lo...

Re: Am I the only one that enjoyed Shizune's route?
In short, it's really how much the paths resonate with your life experiences. Lilly's gets so many people because everyone has probably fantasized about that fairytale romance. :) I'm trying to claw my way out of a slump that is reminiscent of Hisao's shortly after his diagnosis, which is probably ...

Re: If you *actually have* a physical disability, what is it
What do you expect with so many computer nerds? I presume you're talking about the predominance of low vision. As the son of an eye doctor, I find it hard to resist responding to say that what you're thinking is a myth. ;) Specifically, straining your eyes to see something, or even watching a scree...

Re: Am I the only one that enjoyed Shizune's route?
Much better once Hisao can sign and you don't have everything Shizune says punctuated by WAHAHA, isn't it? No doubt. It was difficult to imagine how Misha's tone of voice would conflict with the words she was speaking, but even so...it was still harder to imagine how Shizune had intended them to co...

Re: Am I the only one that enjoyed Shizune's route?
I am still in the middle of Shizune's path, so I am hesitant to read this entire thread because "omg spoilerz," but I wanted to voice my thoughts so far: At first, I didn't like talking with Shizune and Misha, but I didn't know why. I am used to the "tsundere" archetype, so I fig...

Whoops, I misread that nuance. I see.Finiraldi wrote:He means that the name of the store was edited to Aura Mart, as a reference to one of the writers.
Wonder if it was originally yet another Family Mart. *shrug*

Re: Background art in Katawa Shoujo?
Well, IIRC, someone in that Ask! thread posted pics of 'yamaku'. Besides that, I'm pretty sure I noticed while I was reading anyway. Still, it's a good way to make scenes for the game, I'll give it that. Aha! Neat, I'll look into it later. If I remember correctly from what was said in the blog, onl...

Re: Hospital/Rehabilitation Personal Experiences
Many people have to be hospitalized and have their entire lifestyle changed due to illnesses that are not life-threatening. I have MS and can relate to Hiseo even though my condition isn't likely to kill me anytime soon. I suppose you make a good point there. Personally, the hospitalization that le...

Re: Hospital/Rehabilitation Personal Experiences
Not much from me myself in this departament, but about year ago my dad went mountaneering. One thing led to another, he got home with both his legs broken and in plaster casts (not some fancy plastic thingies, heavy, oldfashioned, up to his thighs). One leg broken - you walk with crutches, but two....

Re: Background art in Katawa Shoujo?
I haven't read the entirety of the blog, as I only discovered the game just over two weeks ago. While reading entries now and then can be interesting, I haven't felt like tracking the history of Katawa Shoujo from start to finish in one go. While I wish I had been around when it was in development, ...

Background art in Katawa Shoujo?
While playing the game, I couldn't help but notice a few things about the background art. I have been to Tokyo before, for a 2-month stay, so I have an idea of what some of the typical details of Japanese landscapes and buildings look like. The background art in KS, to my eyes, seems to fit very clo...

Re: If you *actually have* a physical disability, what is it
Ahhh. So by "drifting" you mean sliding forward, rather than going all Tokyo Drift/Mario Kart on us. :) ...The next Mario Kart should have souped-up wheelchairs. Heck, they already added motorcycles... Imagine a Mario-themed racing chair. Then you'd even have a jump button! Nope, I go tot...

Re: New here and Just finished Hanako Story(somewat spoilers
I don't want an experience just like Hisao's; I have enough physical problems without arrhythmia. ;) Seriously though: after going through physical rehab myself, I can say that one doesn't need a romance in order to have a life-changing experience in a situation like Hisao's. In fact, romances like ...
