If you somehow somewhere were to get a 1 year lease it would be handled in a very exceptional way (for example the high downpayments and shit) even for a dealer because they are so rare.

Not really, that hasn't been a "rule" ever since Sakura autist became a thing and "first threads" got deleted several times in favor of the proper one. Pretty sure this is going to happen every time a thread is made with the shitty Sakura OP. Pretty much any other character an image would be fine, but that image/character will never become accepted no matter how hard you try to force it.
What are you reading, DJT? What do you think about it?

Would probably really help if someone explained the situation to the mods, just so they know why we are reporting the other thread
>>140746267
Satsukoi. It is pretty good but too many sex scenes. Getting towards the end so I am trying to decide what I am going to read next.
>>140746524
Have you read multiple routes? How many H scenes on average per route? I was under the impression it had a pretty average amount. I was considering reading that soon but I have other stuff lined up too.
>>140746635
Not him, and it has a perfectly reasonable amount of sex scenes, that guy just has shit taste.
>>140746501
>just so they know why we are reporting the other thread
Because you're autistic as fuck and can't handle variation.
The other thread was up first, that's all that fucking matters you cancerous piece of shit.
>>140746635
3 for each route. Flyable Heart had about 2 per route, so I guess it really isn't that much more now that I compare them. Satsukoi has a more interesting plot than FH though, so the sex scenes feel like they are getting in the way of plot progression.
I do have to admit, the Satsukoi scenes are better than Flyable Heart.
>>140746167
>Not really, that hasn't been a "rule" ever since Sakura autist became a thing and "first threads"
You're wrong, newfag.
It's been a rule for years now. It was established after the mods originally gave up deleting the threads because they didn't belong here, and decided to allow it as long as there was only one thread up at a time. First come, first serve.
>>140745962
I didn't make that thread you goddamn autist.
>>140746811
>Because you're autistic as fuck and can't handle variation.
>The other thread was up first, that's all that fucking matters you cancerous piece of shit.
Not really. That image is pretty much a troll image at this point. I don't think anyone objects to variation / anime OPs in general when you can easily search for it or have "DJT" visible in the OP image text, it's that specific image and character people are taking such issues with. Literally just let Sakura go and make an OP with any other character, because Sakura isn't something DJT is going to get over any time soon.
>>140746524
were you horny to sex scenes?
if you read the posts in both threads its already apparent where the riff raff is (here)
>>140746267
I will give her my 魚雷
>>140746892
Most of them. A couple I didn't like that much, and one was really good.
>>140746899
That's just because DJT is 90% riff raff (笑う)
>>140746899
What the fuck is riff raff? Sounds like some 90's shit.
>>140746855
You seem to have left out a rather important bit while quoting me to make it look like I don't know what I'm talking about. I'm perfectly aware of what they said. They have deleted the first created threads several times when a more legitimate OP was made afterwards. At this point the Sakura image is pretty much shitposting. Use literally any other image.
>>140746957
90 is pretty generous dont you think
>>140746837
Yeah 3 is a really average amount of H scenes. Seikishi had 8~ per route and HoshiOri has 10+ per route.
The only objective method of deciding the thread is time so that nobody activates their autism about the OP image.
>>140747020
At this point it's pretty much time*
*unless the OP image is the Sakura one
>>140747020
Time and whether or not it is posted by a ban evading spammer. That said can we stop talking about the OP image? They'll just try to use it as "evidence" that this thread is the problem >>140746899
If you want to complain about sakura image do it in the sakura thread.
>>140747020
too late (time joke)

>>140747079

>>140747060
Your post is exactly what I was talking about when mentioning autism.
>>140747079
You can't prove with 100% certainty that it's him, I'm not satisfied with the very likely chance, it's still not definite.
>>140747166
I mean just because a german with a mustache goes around killing jews doesn't make him hitler but does it really matter at that point?
>>140747201
How is that analogy even applicable here? Seems like there's no point in arguing with an autist that cares so much about a fucking image.
>>140747060
I don't mind a Sakura in OP, just use the picture where she isn't wearing that gay disney hat.

Would those games be considered nukige with that many scenes?
I don't mind a few scenes. but I mostly want to read VNs for the plot. I don't plan on ever reading a nukige.
>>140746267
Been kind of busy so haven't had as much time to read as usual, but I've been reading the Mayuri Flyable Heart "fandisc" VN slowly on the side. I posted my thoughts about it here when I started it
http://desustorage.org/a/thread/140262117/#140306544
Pretty much all of those thoughts have held pretty firmly so far (just finished the 2nd H scene, not sure how far in that is though), so I definitely wouldn't recommend it to a beginner and I definitely wouldn't recommend it to someone who hasn't read all of Flyable Heart's routes.
>>140747257
If its not that big of a deal then why not just use a different image instead of trying to force the one almost everyone hates? I mean, I agree that it's kind of dumb, but as long as it's that image, the autism isn't going to settle down and you know that.
Anyways, if you're gonna keep discussing this, at least go into the other thread to do it.
>>140747296

the meta discussion is more annoying, plus the VN thread on JP fucking hates DJT and any discussion of difficulty or stuff like "I prefer low H scenes because I'm reading to learn and it's distracting" etc.
if you wanna discuss something about the language then start a discussion, don't just make yet another meta post.

>(just finished the 2nd H scene, not sure how far in that is though)
You're getting close to the really good part. I'm almost envious, since I can never read that part for the first time again. It's actually glorious.
>>140748389
I was surprised how tastefully done the 2nd H scene's art was. There weren't even nipples in it.
Good to hear that I'm coming up to a really good part though, I'm already immensely enjoying it since Mayuri's route was the one I was looking forward to the most in Flyable Heart and I feel like I'm getting everything I wanted out of that route so far and then some (since it seems to have pretty much no padding at all compared to Flyable Heart and a better writing style).
Looking forward to continuing tomorrow.
>>140748485
Oh really? I felt the first half of Mayuri's VN - basically, the part you've read so far - was good, but nothing special. A bit repetitive since I already know most of what's going to happen.
It's the 2nd half that makes the game one of the best things ever written.
>>140748554
Yeah, I didn't really mind it because there were interesting changes throughout, went more in depth on some things, skipped pretty much all of the padding in Flyable Heart's common route, showed a lot more of Mayuri's thoughts and history and stuff that you may know about through her route but never actually got to see / hear more in depth about outside of a few glimpses here and there. If this is nothing special I'm really looking forward to the second half.
I'm also pretty glad that I didn't read this directly after Flyable Heart as I'm pretty sure I would've ruined it and had trouble understanding a lot of it.
>>140748656
You guys are getting me hyped, but I probably won't read it for another 1-2 years.
>>140748732
Just read faster dude, you were finishing Flyable Heart routes in a few days / a week towards the end. You don't wanna take a decade to get to reading simple plotge, do you?
あと一日か
>>140748798
Even if I read faster, I am going to read 1-2 more VNs before I read the FH fandisc, then probably 1-3 more before I read the Mayuri one. And probably at least one LN mixed in somewhere. So it will take some time.
>>140748858
Based on what I've seen/heard, you'll want to read the Mayuri VN before the fandisc anyways since the fandisc has some characters that are exclusive to her VN and probably reference it and the fandisc was released after the Mayuri VN.
「クソ」エロゲを食べました
>>140748893
I never looked at the release dates, so I never even considered that. That really ruins my plans.
So I guess my new plan is read 4-5 VNs, then Mayuri, then Candyheart.
I know 1905 Kanji,... I am smart...
>>140749013
good job wasting your time and life
>>140748999
The fandisc also has characters from other Unison Shift VNs, so you could check the shares characters section of the vndb and consider those

I know man, it doesn't even tell you how to use Rosetta Stone to maximise your learning potential. I'm planning on moving to Japan in a decade, and my current studying schedule will make me as capable as an elementary schooler in just 7 years. All the talk of kanji is just silly, as we all know there are more kanji than stars in the universe, and it's a lifelong struggle to learn them.
I heard that emperor Hirohito is going to ban the use of kanji any day now anyway, so there's really not much point learning them.

All the important stuff that can hardly be picked-up through osmosis is in the grammar guide, so at least read that.

Second, and maybe i'll get flak for this, but don't bother learning kanas. You'll pick them up while learning kanjis in anki. That worked for me !
>>140753528
You don't really need vocab. Just learn the kanji.
Hoshizora no Memoria:
家に戻って来た頃にはすっかり陽も沈んでいた。
夏のわりに日の入りが早く感じるのは、この街が都会よりもずっと北に位置しているためだろう。
Does the second line mean: "The sunset is earlier compared to summer, because this city is further up north than the city."? How is ため used here?
>>140753771
Yeah it's the second one you are correct.
This is probably a stupid question but can someone tell me how one should progress?
Right now I am learning Kanji and vocabulary. When should I start learning grammar? When should I start reading? What should I read?
>>140753967
From the beginning. Read the guide.
>>140753967
Grammar is pretty much useless aside from the negative and past form. You can guess everything else if you have enough vocab.
>>140753967
Read the guide, start Tae Kim, start DOJG Anki deck once you've finished the basic section of Tae Kim, don't forget to get KanjiTomo, read compelling content as soon as you want to, start by googling how to set up a text hooker

Yo guys I'm looking for some help on this sentence
>これからは毎晩たっぷり楽しもうよ
From now on every night we're going to have plenty of comfort/sex.
What nuance does しもうよ have? Is that a shortened version of something?

It's a very girly way of implying the desire to fuck.

Imperative form

That's weird, cuz a dominant guy is saying it
I guess it's supposed to be a playful tone?>>140754875
imperative form of what?
If you can't write Japanese what are you going to do when your cute Japanese pen-friend asks you to exchange hand written letters?
>認証コード
>認証
>しょうにん コード
>にんしょう
What. The. Fuck.
I still don't entirely get transitive and intransitive verbs even in english since English is not my first language. Anyone have a mnemonic or easy way to distinguish one from the other.
>>140754893

He's just making fun of it then or suggesting it to a girl.
(NOTE: Ignore if you do not like boring rants)
So, today marks the exact 2 year anniversary of when I started learning Japanese (April 27th 2014), or to be specific the end of a several year period of fucking around in the first chapters of Genki 1 and the beginning of Core2k in anki. Pic related. (ignore the 23 days, I dropped core after the first day and restarted). To commemorate this event, I'll detail what level I'm at now, what I did over those years, and what I regret.
To get it out of the way - I'm not perfect. I can't answer every question posted here, I make dumb mistakes sometimes, and I can't fluently speak. Some people could by now, but I can't. What I can do however is pick up a novel or anime or manga and read/watch it beginning to end and have a good time. If you challenge me with snippets, I'll probably fuck some up - however, when watching and reading native material, I can picking up the majority, even the vast majority, but not all and not without mistakes. So in that sense, my precedent can be both one of relief and fear - you can study daily for 2 years and be pretty good, but you still also will have a lot left to learn. The easiest way to understand my level is that Japanese is not a barrier to reading 99% of content, and doesn't cross my mind when I pick something to read, but my level still impacts how I interact with the text (LoGH - with great fear). Also, that I can go to scanlation threads and notice a fuckton of errors.
As for what I did, the answer is 493 hours in anki with 8000~ mature cards and 2000~ young and the equivalent 30 complete visual novels of average length, plus a significant smattering of reading 2ch posts, some manga, interviews, watching lets plays, and other minute tasks. I didn't do RTK (more on that later), I just picked up kanji from Core2k, my mining deck, and reading. I did literally nothing else - no writing, no speaking practice, no significant listening practice outside of VN voice acting.
>>140754945
I regret some of that. I wish I had done RTK, probably, because I still fuck up some simple kanji distinguishing. Like I just realized the 類 in 類稀 is the same as 類(るい). This doesn't impact my reading abilities but it does suck when learning new words. I regret not doing more real listening practice, because there's a lot of words I know from kanji but forgot the reading of long ago despite how common/signifcant they are. And finally, I regret not realizing that closing my web browser would allow me to focus infintiely better. My quality of life, studying, and reading shot up when I closed my browser when studying and removed the immediate temptation of opening tabs and getting lost in the internet.
In short, I have studied for 2 years and am halfway to the 4 year deadline, things are looking good. My reason for posting this, aside from commemoration, is mainly that I remember thinking that when I started everyone would already be fluent when I got there, but it seems like there's still a lot of people just starting. So maybe the experiences, successes, and failures of someone with 730 days experience will be of interest.
>>140754929
you gave me a cookie crumb
>>140754945
>>140754966
Uh... Ok?
>>140754994
thats all you'll get and you're gonna like it
>>140754945
I'm writing the words in my 2k deck and it's definitely helping me memorize them
>>140754614
よふかしはおはだにもわるいよ
>>140755025
Hey, I said ignore it if you don't like boring rants. the post is there for those who want to read it.
>>140755050
I don't doubt it, every time I picked up a pencil or pen to write I was just like, wow this is taking a lot of time and I'd stop.
>>140754966
You can still do RTK now, you know. It's really easy, so you can go through like a hundred new cards a day.
>>140755081
I've been mulling that idea over, I'll probably bite the bullet and go through it whenever an impetus arrives (like going to Japan in X months).
>>140755130
you wanna go to japan in x months with me?
>>140755076
Welp, I bet you don't even have an ankifu... meh...
>>140755060
I wanna stick my ちんぽ into her nose lmao
>70% correct in core deck reviews
>mine 30 cards for the first time
>keep hitting again on cards I've seen 5 times already
>30% correct
FUCK
is it gonna get better, why is this so much more difficult the vocab wasn't even that complex
>おかえりあなた風
>風
Literally what?
>>140755211
Sure, lemme just finish rtk first
>>140755213
I actually removed images from Core2k as one of the first things I did. The reason I dropped core2k for those 20 some days is because the default format at the time was the yellow shitty one with everything on the wrong side. There wasn't even a "here's a better format" pastebin back then, literally everyone who downloaded core2k/6k had to fix the format themselves.
>>140755265
welp thought so omg you are stupid... thx for the laughs meh...
>>140755256
Welcome back my dear wind.
>>140755256
since wind is carefree and comes and goes whenever, 風 emphasizes how surprising it is that the person returned
I'm going to Japan in x months mainly for the culture and art (I am an artist myself). Which pronoun should I use to reflect my artistic nature?
>>140755362
拙者, no doubt.
>>140755362
atashi
>>140755337
yeah that's what put me off.
>>140755347
Okay, shit. Didn't get that.
>>140755382
I'm not a Samurai enthusiast myself so that's hardly appropriate especially in 2016.
>>140755386
I'm a male, forgot to say that.
>>140755414
Oh, my bad, I thought you said "autist"
>>140755431
I'm pretty sure you're joking but I said artist, and not all artists are autistic.
>>140755455
yeah i was 99% sure you were a guy
>>140755494
Well that's hardly surprising because I'm sure there's some research to back this generalization, so it's okay I guess.
>>140755256
Sometimes 風 is used as -esque.

Can you read VNs without a texthooker?

>>140755812
>people ironically believe that native japs are the best choice for translators
loving
every
laugh
>>140755792
Somewhat. If you take a look at >>140717091, I can read games on Tier 1 without a texthooker with 0 problems, I can read games on Tier 2 without a texthooker but some problems (will be tabbing out to look up words, but not enough to slow down my reading pace obnoxiously), but games on Tier 3? No fucking way. Bradyon Veda for example goes into hard science fiction descriptions of the chemical reactions occurring, basically stuff I've never seen before. My nose is in the dictionary half the time for that one. However games like that are pretty rare. Even LOGH isn't that hard.
What is the difference between でわあります and であります? According to https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/68/AMB_Japanese_Verbs.pdf the former should be correct, but, if so, why is anime titled "Yuuki Yuuna wa Yuusha de aru"? Also, why does Yuuna aru if she is a human, shouldn't she iru?
>>140754966
>>140754945
Thanks for the posts, cool to read.
>>140755812
What.

>>140755949
Hi leddit
>>140754966
Post youre deck please
>>140755914
Did you mean ではあります?
Anyway, I wouldn't worry about it, であるis used regardless of animate/inanimate.
>>140756042
My deck is a clusterfuck of words I found in the wild, I don't recommend it. Mining your own deck is for the best.
>>140755943
Glad someone liked it
A bit confused, gaijin = foreigner, but gaikokujin = black foreigner, or what? What's the difference?
>>140755914
ではあります isn't a thing. ではありますん is,
>>140756144
Im alright with clusterfucks. I am a clusterfuck of failure.
>>140756152
外国人 - Foreigner
害人 - American
Word of the day: 五輪
>>140756170
でありません*
>>140756152
They both mean the same thing. The first is more like "outsider" and the second is more like "person from a foreign country" though.
>>140756177
What about 外黒人?
>>140756176
I don't know how to export a deck without keeping my stats in it so here's a wordlist. I've been using a LOGH deck for awhile so there's not as many words as you might expect in it. Warning: Using this will lead to bad times if you haven't done RTK, new kanji are introduced hard and fast. I struggled anyway.
http://pastebin.com/BTJKqeW9
Well, I could export it in a spreadsheet but I don't know if that'd remove stats.
>>140756177
Nuclearを戦場で実験した国は信用しない
>>140756257
Untick the scheduling data bit when exporting.
>>140756368
That still keeps the stats I'm pretty sure. Had a bad experience with that in the past.
>>140756257
Whats wrong with keeping the stats?
>>140756466
I figure no one wants to look at the stats for the deck and see MY stats included. It'd corrupt their data forever.
>>140756511
Im fine with it to be honest. I keep separate decks on my pc and phone
>>140756563
Well, here you go. I hope you don't regret this.
