When I was very young, in elementary school, I never had friends. In third grade, I started becoming friends with this kid. He then started bullying me, for no apparent reason I can see. Nobody would do anything about it, I having gone to the school and my parents on multiple occasions. When I trie...

Micijayah wrote:Ooooor, you could have your jerk friend loudly shout that you have a crush on the girl and hope for the best afterwards. It worked for me

Apparently the friends who outed me to the girls in question weren't jerks enough.

Pyramid Head wrote:Cynicism in one definition is realism in context of the society we live in.

But isn't cynicism essentially always expecting the worst? Doesn't that make it just as unrealistic as unfettered optimism?

I liked how Lily's route had a much heavier emphasis on romance, although I never did figure out what made Lily fall for Hisao in the first place. I got the impression it was mostly because of the fact that he cares about Hanako, is fairly mature in his behavior, and chooses to spend time with Lill...

Back from my dad's, where I didn't run (or barely left the bed, at that) for 3 weeks. I guess I'm just gonna start the Couch to 5k from the beginning again, I really doubt I could try Week 2 or 3 and not faint halfway through. Doesn't help it that my toenail's getting ingrown again, but I'll take c...

Attraction is a funny enough thing that even with the most compatible people you can imagine, one or both just might not 'feel it'. The only thing worse than that is when one or both realizes, too late, that hey, maybe they do feel it. You hear that, boys and girls? If there's someone you 'like' li...

If I were to run with parallels to my own life, I'd probably end up going to Yamaku because it was the closest school to my resort-town residence (IRL, I went to a mountain-top high school amidst a bunch of resort towns, which, in comparison to the rest of Southern California, was quite an ivory tow...

Finished Narcissu but lets say Windows 7 and Narcissu are mortal enemies. Crashed every single time a chapter was finished and occasionally, when you load a new scene. I couldn't load saves unless I run administrator mode of the game before the save and after it. Trying to backwards compatibility w...

Only because it's fun picking on the most overrated character in the game! Opinions are like a penis. You know how the rest of the joke goes. And I agree with Oddball completely. The occasional asshat exists regardless of where you are. There is no such thing as a perfect community. But the KS comm...

I'm very jealous at that Emi+Hanako picture *drools* >.< I think these three sketches are the only ones raemz did at AX. When I got to her, she was working on the Emi & Hanako. This was at 11 AM, and the Exhibit Hall opened at 10 AM. At 11 AM, I was the last request raemz took, and she finished...

One of these days, I'm going to get around to telling the whole story in Hanako's Broken Hearts Club thread, but for the time being, I'll reiterate: my favorite KS girls remind me of the two girls I fell in love with before meeting my wife. Hanako reminds me of the first girl I ever fell in love wit...

Mint wrote:The assumption that your post would warrant negative responses from the community made me frown a bit.

You say that as though it doesn't happen. Especially in Hanako-themed threads.

Consider most of the people playing this game. Here's a timid, submissive, shy girl rejected by almost everyone she knows. Just like them! But she's also their dream of a hot Japanese/anime babe, plus she's DAMAGED, see, so they can gallop in on their charger and claim to understand her and she'll ...

Visual Novels in general (though admittedly, KS was my second; however, KS showed me just how good these things can be). Running, thanks to Emi. I'd like to read a Murakami novel, or perhaps Life of Pi , thanks to Hanako. SAI , thanks to Raemz, Hanako's artist. Anime Expo, which I most likely wouldn...

Anyway, is "Fear the Boot" like a podcast for conventions or something? Just curious. It's a podcast about tabletop roleplaying games "and a little bit more," as they put it. The cast is mostly in the St. Louis area, and they have their own gaming convention called "Fear th...
