Re: Issues with Installation on Linux

You shouldn't have to do any of that. As far as I can tell, everything you need is in the tarball. Permissions get set the way they need to and everything. Just run Katawa Shoujo.sh and it should go. I'm running 11.10 as well. It runs fine. What did you do? Did you just run it or something? I thoug...

Re: Japanese

This. The characters aren't impossible to memorize (though being bad at vocabulary in general means that I still have to work hard), it's all the differing meanings and pronunciations based on context. This is because one of the ways of the pronunciation of a given character is derived from Chinese...

Re: Fan community nickname?

The major problem I see with "Katawans" is that it's too easy to corrupt to something like "Katards." Anyone who does this will probably earn the undying wrath of /b/tards everywhere for stealing their nickname, but it'll still happen.

Re: Sad fact

Long-distance relationships are brutally difficult, even with the assistance of the Internet, and I say this as somebody who actually made it through such a relationship to marry my high-school sweetheart. It's not fair to hold it against people who try and fail, or even people who look at the idea ...

Re: Lilly Cosplay at Katsucon 18

It's nice there is a Katawa Shoujo cosplay, but let's be serious... this one sucks. Just the hair colour and the clothes matches. Come on, Lily without the blue eyes and the cane? It's like a Harry Potter without a scar. In Maryland, where Katsucon is held, the white cane is a protected symbol: it'...

Re: With Apologies To Harlan Ellison [Spoilers, Gore Discret

Well, I did say that it didn't have to end happily (you'd probably have to apologize to Harlan Ellison a lot more if it did), and that is one way to prove the exact state of the cycle. Well done. I also love the commentary on KS itself, and the problem with trying to play for a harem ending. What lo...

Re: Best moments?

I'd have to put Crescendo, Under a Bright Sky, and Instant Replay as my three favorite moments, and two of those are in Lilly's arc.

What you did there, I see it. Speaking of which, is there any news?

Re: KS de white-knighted me

If you cant just be yourself, then there's a problem. Every time I hear this advice it makes my blood boil. That phrase gets used so often (and in wrong ways) that all of the people I know who received this advice never get anywhere. Instead of accepting your flaws in your character, why not choose...

Re: Valid points that I do not understand

I realize this is probably a troll, but what the hell; I'll bite. I mean wouldn't this story be more interesting if you added some realistic aspect to it... Funny; I've heard more than one person, including people with disabilities, praise the game's realistic approach to things. and tried depicting...

Re: With Apologies To Harlan Ellison [Spoilers, Gore Discret

Great for torture. Not so great for reading, ya? Under ordinary circumstances, yes, but we're reading about torture, and that necessitates some blurring of the lines. Any rule of writing can be broken, if done well and done in the proper circumstances, and what we've got here constitutes the proper...

Re: KS de white-knighted me

It's okay for people to be selfish, small-minded jerks as long as they don't hurt you personally. If the selfish, small-minded jerks didn't ruin things for everyone else, you'd be correct. But that isn't the case. Large areas of womens' dating lore are dedicated to avoiding creeps and jerks, for de...
