Why the fuck does being scarred means you're a cripple? It's not nearly on the same level as losing your arms or something. It's like saying that Volgin is a cripple. I don't get it.
>>317312171
>Katawa Shoujo General #2843
>>317312530
I think it was more the crippling anxiety.
Which is dumb, because I remember it explicitly stating somewhere in the catacombs of lore that it's a physical-retard exclusive school.
>>317312171
>Katawa Shoujo General #2843
>>317312530
She's mentally scared.
>>317312710
People can choose to go to Yamaka of their own choosing. It's a private school, so it's expensive. But for example, Misha chose to go to Yamaka because they offered a Sign Language Program.

>>317312530
>>317312761
skin being all fucked up probably necessitates medication at least
also the school isn't restricted to only allow cripples, so wanting to enroll based on the fact she'd be outcast/bullied at a regular school anyway makes sense
>>317312447

More like Katawa Shoujo themed chatroom #2843
>>317312929
pretty much
KS ended up being pretty famous, didn't it? I wonder if four leaf regrets not selling it.
>>317312901
Wasn't Misha autistic?
>>317312901
Isnt she also autistic? Shes loud and annoying,bush shittand annoyingalso that feel i couldve help contain those shit chatrooms but failed
I liked this vn a lot. Even kind of helped me through a dark time around its release.
But holy shit, what is there left to say? Its been almost half a decade, and its a game with 20 hours of content at best.

>>317312171
I tried to gain something from this by assimilating aspects of all the characters into me, trying new things.
I went through the couch to 5k chart for Emi, tried out ASL, trying to make drinking tea a habit, and eating bacon. None of them stuck for very long, but it sure helped me break out of my shell, at least for a little while. I've started to learn to draw recently, but not for Rin.
I just wanted my life to change like what happened to lots of other Anons. It just lives on in my memoriesand a few tracks in my music playernow

If there was anything KS did right it was the soundtrack. I've played a handful of eroge and most of the soundtracks get tedious and irritating. I still listen to the KS tracks and enjoy them.
who here /replaying/ KS? I'm currently in the Emi route
>>317316515
I agree, except for the track of people talking in the background. It's way too easy to hear the individual voices.
>>317316515
Softer music is harder to grow old with.
I remember growing up all the hockey games had rock songs that I loved, but when I looked for them later I couldn't listen to them.

>>317316158
/a/, but if you say it on there, people will jump down your throat to deny, while still others will agree. KS threads are still a bannable offense because /a/ was flooded with it until they took the majority of the project off the board (also it's not technically anime).

You're losing your vision, Anon?
>>317317179
I know how you feel anon, I got Hanako's bad ending and it nearly broke me.
Seems I always get bad endings in vidya games, no matter the genre. Guess I'm just one of those people.
>>317317320
This.
Emi canon route.
>>317317150
/a/ is very self-policed, which is why it's not a meme-machine like /v/ despite how fast it is. Most posters do not like anything that is not strictly anime.
>>317317349
Yeah...I learned how to walk with a stick though. That's kinda cool, I guess.
>>317316304
Rin is best girl.
>>317317358
They're usually not easy if you don't have good experience in VNs.
The choices in KS especially were both extremely important, far inbetween, and kinda vague.

I'm not even a footfag, I just enjoy herpersonality.
3DPD aside, does /v/ think they have the responsibility and patience to date someone disabled, especially blind or deaf, where your life can be drastically different?
>>317317754
I suppose I can hand that one to you, but I personally despise her for the fact that she reminds me of myself.
EMI IS BEST GIRLI'm a cripple fag and legitimately related
>>317316942
There's nothing to deny, Katawa Shoujo was made by /a/nons, the idea was conceived before even /jp/ was made.
>>317317458
"Self-policed" on /a/ just means absolutely no-fun allowed. It certainly doesn't mean self-moderation considering how much their mods babysit them. Bunch of fucking whiners and I'm saying this as someone who used to use /a/.
>>317317632
I only remember one about mental illness? Were there others?
I played KS back in the day, really liked it. I sometimes thought how cool would it be to remake KS with a Persona "skin", using that art style and blinking eyes, expressions.
>>317315320
We just witnessed a man reevaluate his life, how many of us should do the same?
>>317317872
Rin reminds me of a girl I dated that died a long time ago, the way I never really seemed to understand her almost random thoughts. I felt very, very fucked up when I finished her route.
>>317317873
I love you anon.
>>317317920
I totally agree.
>>317318057
>mental illness
>tfw no schizo waifu
>>317317845
I suppose I could. I'm disabled myself but I can get around just fine.
I'd need to be in a better mental place though. I wouldn't want to drag someone down into the bog that is my life.

Wrong.
The KS general is just a shitty community (like all generalcancerthreads are) where people blog about their lives. It might as well be a skype group.

Variety of threads that offer a different experience depending on time of day and subject. It's possible to find funposting and video games discussion if you know where to look. No generals because you can have more than one thread about a game and people will reply to it.
Stop being deluded.

Yeah, I know where to look, otherwise I wouldn't be here. Most of /v/ is still underaged retards with their console wars and hyped AAA shit anyway.

No just disagree with you. Generals are a huge cancer on this entire site though, I agree. Wish they were banned.
>>317312171
so why haven't anons made a katawa shoujo 2 yet?
>>317322167
IIRC that comic came around after the Act 1 demo, so we didn't know what to expect with the sex scenes
typically VNs have hilariously bad and ooc extreme sex stuff, which the comic is ribbing on
>>317322167
It's very awkward
>>317314215
It's difficult for people who have played the game to make anything more than vanilla lewds.

>>317322367
I feel like a sequel would be dumb and you shouldn't really rip of other people's workyes I am aware that 4leaf ripped off RAITA but not THAT muchso eh
>tfw you will never re-experience those magical few days after KS came out on /v/
>>317322253
The first one coming out was a miracle in itself. The team has since mostly disbanded doing their own stuff. It being full-length with 5 routes and a bomb ass OST FOR FREE is pretty fucking substantial.

you know that text route made by one of the devs or whatever?
there is a point where hisao gets super butthurt at miki for not doing her homework then bangs her out of anger
>>317325860
Well I don't think that would encourage her to do her homework.

it was nice for Kenji to get some characterization as anything but a complete joke character, even if it was for just one part in that one scene

For a lot of /v/ it was probably their first VN. It's actually very average as far as eroge go, some people give it too much praise and others bash it because it's not some translated kamige they played that they think is the standard.
>>317327248
What are some examples of "kamige"?
>>317327248
i think people just associate themsevles with the characters even if they werent the most well written or really realistic
everyone just had a way to hook to it

4 years later here I am, in uni, alone, and listening to these OSTs... slowly bringing pain into me. What am I even supposed to do? I got mentally crippled by a game that was supposed to make me horny.

I know those feels.Think I'm going to be able to deal with uni after I lost a year doing basically nothing and falling behind. But that crushing loneliness though.
>>317327685
What's that called?
>>317327590Which Katawa would smoke/accept pot?
Rin does codeine and smokes cigarettes so she wouldn't care.I think it'd help Hanako break out her shell akin to alcohol but not have her become totally inhibited. Though nothing like that would happen in grorious Nippon where a gram gets you ten years.
That moment when I realize that the only people I've ever felt genuine feelings for were fictional.
