First post, best post

KS fanfic link in the OP is broken

>>537630678
yeah, some of the links dont work, they are kind of old

Goodnight /ksg/.

>>537633162
What is Akira thinking about as she gazes into the nightly sky?
Looking into the sea of stars.

Also good night akira-anon.

>>537641339
At least it's not fat

Wake up

Summer ending depresses me a bit. How are you guys doing?

>>537650168
I hate Summer so this is awesome for me.

>>537650168
Summers haven't been blissful for me in a long time, partly because I know others have more fun than me and partly because they're objectively hotter than they used to be in the 00s and early 10s.
I like spring and autumn personally, although your geographical location is just as big of a factor as the season

>>537633510
Judging from her satisfied expression, she's probably reminiscing of some beautiful night spent with someone she cares about

>>537630678
Is it time to reform the OP a little bit?
I think we could do without the suicide hotline index, for instance

>>537653140
Suicide hotline is much too funny to not include. Having things that make people think "what the fuck is wrong with /ksg/" makes it better. I do agree that any dead links that don't just need to be redirected should be removed now. Probably should've done that before this thread though, because now we need to remember for two weeks to fix it.

Goodnight /ksg/

>>537657696
good night anon

>>537653345
No, we should add more dead links

I was in japan a few months ago on vacation and accidentally ran into this spot
I keep forgetting to post this though

>>537650168
I dont really think of it this way, all that matters if Im on vacation or not. Besides that, I prefer cooler temperatures.

>>537663126
were there any, marks/ things left from fans?

>>537657696
cute misha

>>537663375
nope but not surprising considering it only really appears in lilly's route I think

>>537650168
Summer was eventful in more ways than one and im not really sad its over, im more of a winter person so im looking forward to that timeframe.

>>537653345
Whoever made the updated pastebin should include them in there regardless, for archival purposes.

>>537663375
>>537664896
Would be funny to see a little "Hisao was here" writing hiding somewhere on a railing.

>>537663126
You, a Katawa Shoujo fan, *accidentally* travelled to Sendai, a city that barely gets any Western tourists?

>>537663375
You overestimate how many fans KataShou has, it seems

>>537672895
>You overestimate how many fans KataShou has, it seems
We must erect a statue of Lilly, in that pose. Maybe we'll need an inspirational quote from her or something.

>>537672895
I travelled all around japan, have been to Tokyo, Osaka,Kyoto,Nikko,Niigata,Kitakyushu,Hiroshima,Hakodate,Nagoya and Sendai

>>537653140
>>537653345
The other links also go to some places that themselves appear to be dead...

OP definitely needs reform - if nothing else I'd like to know where those fanfics actually are.

As for the suicide thing. I think a lot of guys are just mindbroken from how life has treated them, I think KS is more likely to bring them back from the edge than push them over but it could go either way for sure.

>>537663196
picrel is pretty good.

>>537653345
>try to look up the M*A*S*H theme song on YouTube
>it redirects me to suicide prevention page
Lame.

>>537663126
Did you get some ice cream?

>>537665040
To me this picture, represents and fulfills the absolute entirety of Hnako's character. One can see her sadness and isolations very clearly, the somber look on her face, the overall dark color palette, her head is in a downward pose, reminiscing of one experiencing great grief, her hands, tucked away, their palms folder. Everything alludes either to pulling away/ retracting or to a downward motion, in both cases a movement to something lower. The walls around her remind us of a castle, a place to hide away in and not only that but to keep others away. It is obvious that this is a metaphor about Hanako's life, she is tucked away, hidden and unreachable by others. But I would go as far as to say that the most important detail of this work of art is her eye. The little hole through which she sees the whole world. She is looking at us the viewer. And is it a look of anger? Maybe she just cried, so of sadness? It is really up to interpretation, but I see a look of hope. She is asking " Will you help me, will you listen, will you understand? ". And here we must also ask ourselves, "Will you help Hanako is you see her on the street, will you listen to the random stranger if he is in need. Will I understand someone who desperately seeks connection. " This is what makes me consider the author of this piece a genius. For we are faced with such a situation every day, when we interact with our fellow man. A stone cast at another, is a stone cast at Hanako.

>>537690630
Hot but I can't imagine the dynamic.

>>537691320
That's after a bottle of wine.

good night katwas,
sleep tight

>>537695208
Goodnight anon.

>>537695208
Sleep well. You deserve your rest.

>>537695539
Are you awake? What is your favourite katawa?

>>537695820
>Katawa

>Non-Katawa KS Girl
Akira

>>537696470
okay. give me a minute

>>537697085
Sure thing. I'm just enjoying my day off STILL playing PIC RELATED.
Yes this is a cheesy Protection From Black deck. I use it for the black dungeons.

>>537697605
I hope this works. I recently bought aseprite and trying to get a grip on pixelart.
Here, I made a little Shizune cheering for you while you play that game.

It's just for you. Don't tell the other people here about it.

>>537698914
Hey cool thanks anon.

>>537696470
do you like them because they are highly determinated?

>>537630678
Oh god no! I remembered a fun little fanfic about the student council there. I think it was about how Misha was drilled hard by Shizune and Lilly, It was quite lovely, a piece of art.

Anyone have a link to the Suzu route fic?

>>537703848
sadly not, sorry

>>537703848
Here is "a" Suzu route

Not sure if it's the one you want.

>>537698914
Oh it's wonderful

Goodnight /ksg/, don't die while I'm asleep

>>537723608
Goodnight anon.

>>537700013
Shiz's proportions are so weird here

Morning /ksg/
Plenty of things to unpack but at least its something i can do at my own pace so, no rush.

>>537683408
I wanted to respond to that last night, but i was too tired so i read it and crashed. Its interesting just how passionate you are of this piece and how you interpret it. I guess it does give the general feel you describe and, in layman's terms, makes you want to give her a hug both to comfort her but also be really close to her and feel her in every sense of the word.

>>537698914
Cute work, now we expect to see the rest of the girls.

>>537720648
She knows my secret!

>>537733524
what is your secret?

>>537733524
> I wanted to respond to that last night...
To be honest anon, It was kind of a shitpost, on my side, it was funny writing 250 words of random babbling. But I actually like this fanart a lot. Also good morning

>>537707246
Seems imgur is blocking access to the images.

>>537744381
I cant say and DONT ask Emi!

>>537746005
I feel so used, how could you... well yeah, like i said its a nice piece, it used to be my phone background ages ago, i now use pic related for the lock screen and an in-game sprite for the home screen

>>537748949
here, I bet you haven't seen this Emi before

she's running away from you because you didn't tell me your secret

Goodnight /ksg/.

pats!

I know a lot of people hate the heat but for me it isn't that, it's the fact that there's more light. I live north of the 60th parallel so summers are very bright (and not that hot) but winters are the opposite; really fucking dark. It affects my mood severely. Everything feels wonderful in the summer, solely because of the light. Evenings have already darkened... right now sun rises at like 6 AM and sets at a bit after 8PM. Well, I can skate again in the winter, that's fun at least.

>>537756354
I had to

>>537756354
>>Maybe we'll need an inspirational quote from her or something.
There was something about, letting your disability define you, I think it will be a better choice.

>>537756354
top 3 is probably
>tokyo
tons of stuff to do, everything is easily reachable, great place to start off if you are using the jr pass for daytrips, really good public transport
>hiroshima
really beautiful city with a lot of bridges, kure is right next to it with the yamato museum and the gigantic submarine also there is that temple built on water nearby too
>osaka
universal park, better local foods than tokyo, tons of cool neon signs at night

but all of them are really close in terms of enjoyment except maybe kyoto which just has too many people at the tourist places and the public transport system there is terrible
and in kyoto pretty much everything closes after 17:00 so you are just left in a mostly dark empty city outside of the main roads after that

As someone who has actually been to Sendai and think of it as a beautiful place, there's little that makes it "the Katawa Shoujo city" other than the train station backgrounds.
Aoba Castle's hill is too close to the city itself to be the same hill Yamaku is supposed to be on, and the hill backgrounds are from two other locations in Central Japan and Shikoku.
Perhaps it is best to assume this story could take place in just about any provincial city in Japan where life is slow, even for a youth, and there's plenty of time to think about yourself and others

Could be Aomori, Nagano, Kanazawa, Kochi

>>537757118
Human beings can actually sleep in the presence of natural light, provided it's quiet enough, so darkness seems to have hardly any advantage whatsoever

>>537759449
I'm assuming you mean
>Have I ever apologized for my blindness even once? You can't help the way you are born, Hisao. There's no point in apologizing for who you are. You are a beautiful person, Hisao. Please don't apologize for that.

Personally I find it a bit nonsensical, I mean it's not like anyone ever asked Lilly to apologise for her blindness, of that I'm fairly sure

>>537764086
I can agree that it has become difficult to love Kyoto due to the amount of tourists, but tourist traps aside, the northern half is gorgeous and so are the surroundings, all the way to the northern sea (the Sea of Japan coast is so underrated, and you won't find Westerners in places like Amanohashidate).

Did you go to Shirakawa-go?

>>537749964
Thats a rare Emi indeed.
>spoiler
I think she'd act like that either way.

>>537757118
Thats my only issue with winter time too, getting dark so early is horrid even though im ok with night time, its just too early.

>>537757118
>it's the fact that there's more light
I'm nightblind and yeah I hate commuting in the dark so fucking much.

A loving touch,
is it too much?
I let myself,
to feeling, feeling a consoling ease.

You touch my cheek,
I'm feeling weak.
I let myself,
to falling, falling in your loving hands.

>>537770946
Hold on, "ease" and "hands" don't rhyme

>>537771184
i didn't really want them to rhyme

>>537770946
>I let myself,
>to falling, falling in your loving sneeze.

>>537770946
Don't you mean arms? I don't believe her hands alone can handle your whole body

Greetings /ksg/ and other anons

I am here for a deal, a trade.
Years have passed and i (in my opinion) made a pretty decent KS collection here and there.
Around 4k files artbooks ost included, and all of that got sent on a mega cloud
Now here's the deal: are you anons interested by a sharing code? and more important are you willing to share YOUR collection with others?
i think it could be a nice project, gathering all the KS stuff of the internet

tks for reading my crappy message, you are the best its always a pleasure to spend comfy time here with you<3

>>537814059
Kinda like Val's Content Dump in the OP but way bigger? Sign me up!
Please upload your collection, here's mine: files.catbox.moe/afvewx.zip
Mine is pretty small, mostly pics and memes taken from /ksg/ and the subreddit, so it might be useless to someone with a ton of content.

good night katwas
sleep tight

>>537814059
Not a collection, but a while ago I made a little vaporwave edit of the Hisao/Hanako train scene from the beta that I quite like
Song used is Sabbath from Saya no Uta
https://files.catbox.moe/g8wayb.mp4

>>537815921

there's always golden nuggets hidden somewhere, thats why i was proposing to share all together <3
here my link, be careful its very messy all unsorted and with NSFW, hope you'll enjoy anyway!

thanks for sharing, anon. honored to see the inclusion of a few edits/recolors i did/was involved in

Does anyone have a definitive list of every location in this game in real life
For example
Where the fuck is this house
WHO owns this house

>>537835856
Isn't that the Ibarazaki's house?

>>537836258
It's Lilly's but where is it in real life and does anyone own it assuming it still exists

>>537835856
How do get such American-looking houses in Japan?

Hey ksg, how's it going?

>>537839642
Bretty gud, thanks.

No, I drew them with my major amateur skills and my 10 year old drawing tablet I bought when I wanted to start learning art. It didn't really work out, but atleast I made some OC for this dying general
I feel flattered that you mistook it for AI

>>537857397
good morning hanakoposter

>>537853702
cute hanako

>>537867170
>for this dying general
I have a feeling this general has been dying for a loooong time.

Hey /ksg/, let's play character creator. What would be the next Katawa you would use to populate Yamaku?
Only rule is that the condition has got to be previously unrepresented and of course itself has to be serious to warrant the transfer.

I'll start with a girl that had to undergo Colostomy due to injury to her intestines. This is a operation where the poop tunnel gets rerouted to the opening in the stomach that ends with external removable poop bag, usually due to cancer/infection/damage to the intestines.

>>537875592
Meet the INTESTINE-CHAN

While around her dad's house construction site she slipped and fall onto somewhat protruding concrete's reinforcing bars resulting in body puncture in her lower abdomen. The first penetration was where lower intestine twists and bends. Initial infection left the affected stretch of intestine overreacting resulting in constant brown alarms, thus the only solution was another surgery that rerouted the healthy part of the intestine through the stomach to external fecal matter collection bag. The first deeper and second shallower puncture penetrated where her ovaries were, thus leaving her permanently infertile.

She would arrive at Yamaku near simultaneously with Hisao, and after they meet and judge each other to be the safe ground, they become the ersatz normal* (*healthy at first glance) friends they both used to have. I'm thinking plot would progress around her feeding Hisao lies about her "eating disorder" being nothing but genetic lottery because she doesn't feel like breaking the facade. That's until she reaches the point where she feels she can't lie anymore to somebody she's considers a friend. She may also join/create the swimming club, but I'm not sure weather that's fitting place for them to hang around.

Her arc overall would revolve around dissolving the taboo she'd built around her injury (unlike other girls it's intimate area of body) and acknowledging & accepting the change that is both acquired and recent, as opposed to predetermined or previously accepted. This is kinda "the problem must be in your pants" route that we never got that's also gender swapped. While I can still see her being able to be sexually active, in a healthy way of course. I don't think she would want that to happen as she will be withdrawn* (*asexual?) in these matters. So if any segz scenes were to happen they would be minimal exposure; Trousers pulled slightly down and panties to the side, as to hide the shit bag and post surgery scarring.

>>537875592
>>537876746
That's some horrible shit. An old relative had to undergo that surgery. I can't imagine how horrible it would be to have it as a young adult.

Would be and interesting taboo-breaking route but I believe not many would be able to love her, even if it's only in a virtual novel. Pretty sure she would get horrible nicknames in this general.

>>537876746
Why this condition? Years ago, Me and my friends went kayaking in the summer, down the stream we've passed a woman in her late 20s that had this weird "alcoholic's pouch" off her stomach, it was covered halfway by her shorts. After we've made some distance between us, equally intrigued and oblivious, I asked my friend what she though was the nature of the bag. I've vomited everything into the river. Anyway, that image of her got stuck in my head ever since.

>>537877085
>she would get horrible nicknames
Yeah, you bet XD. I just called her "shitbag" so far.
I should've though of some real name but I'm not good with Jap names.

>>537875592
someone with dementia would maybe be interesting

>>537875592
robocop route when?

>>537879173
Imagine building a relationship with someone, knowing that they will forget you, and having to cope with that. This honestly sets the stage for a horror story more so than a romantic one.

Goodnight /ksg/.

>>537877085
>not many would be able to love her.
Got me thinking but I disagree. Obviously, she's gonna be the "trap route"; There must be something off because it looks to good to warrant Yamaku. So initially you would have no idea what you're getting into, unless you begin to connect the dots yourself along the way. While her condition is not smelly or unsanitary, it has some shock value to it. I get it that for some it would be hard, but it's what love is ultimately about. To accept someone unconditionally getting past their flaws and oddities. Every Katawa in the eye's of normies is deal-breaker of some sort on what's acceptable. I'd say having to love hugless, absent-mined, mid-looking girl would be a tougher exercise for me than doing the same to the (initially) lie-coated shit-purse. Tho, there should be a neutral ending if you don't want to get past the purely platonic feelings.

>>537875592
Mari, a girl diagnosed with Tourette's. While not a particularly physical condition, it can be quite disruptive and socially alienating if the tic is bad or vulgar enough, which would perhaps warrant transfer to an environment such as Yamaku. While such an environment is an improvement over a typical school, the nature of her tic still gets in the way of fitting in as it impacts communication; she feels out of place, much like Hisao, but from the other angle of approach. This causes her to keep others at an arm's length and fear socialising aside from class "friends" and members of her club (music?). She and Hisao become friends by chance, perhaps he joins her club in a pinch to fill in for a bass player who flaked (after being given the easiest line to play ever) for a performance at the school fair. As their relationship progresses, her tic improves, and she begins to push herself a little more to make friends. Overall her life is improved with the unconditional support of Hisao. But when exams and graduation loom, the stresses eventually reverse the progress she's made, sending her into a mental breakdown where her fears are all but confirmed; she'll never get over it, she'll never be able to manage in the real world, and as a result she pushes Hisao away, almost hiding from him. She spends no time studying due to the rut and combined with a perhaps not-so academic streak behind her, is set to fail her exams and have to repeat the year. Insert some silly, perhaps dramatic contrived sequence here where they repair their relationship and she manages to speak at lenght, entirely clearly for the first time in a long time. Hisao deliberately fails his exams to follow her into repeating the year maybe hammer it home by having a bittersweet interaction with Emi or Shiz and Misha, and roll credits.

Schizophrenic katawa. She sometimes sees and hears shit that isn't there, suffers delusions and hates taking her meds. When lucid, she is crazy for Hisao.

She slowly works him into her delusions when not sane and his character in those delusions is based on your choices and decides whether or not she recovers and gets with him or if she spirals and is ultimately lost to madness.

>>537882674
good night akira-anon

>>537884654
sounds like a fun route; I'd like to see an interaction between kenji and her, where kenji gets absolutely blasted by her vulgar language, while Mari doesn't even want to destroy him

>>537884654
Cool Katawa you got there anon. Tourette's spectrum gives a lot of possibilities for writing freedom. The social disasters she would engineer would be a blast to read through. At her lowest she might spiral into Coprlalia (sluring like a sailor) or Echolalia (repeating overheard words).

However failing exams on purpose is very unlike Hisao. Perhaps, instead he could volunteer to stay over the summer and help her study for the retake that's gonna take place at the end of summer brake?

>>537887205
>interaction between kenji and her
I would love to see that XD, finally a reason to not put Kenji on auto skip.

>>537888002
>put Kenji on auto skip
so the feminists got you too?

>>537764972
>Did you go to Shirakawa-go?
nope but I plan to it just wasnt that nearby to any other places I wanted to visit
>, the northern half is gorgeous and so are the surroundings, all the way to the northern sea
though I wouldnt neccesarily consider that as part of kyoto

>>537794965
thank you! this one is just for you! <3

Best i could think of is a girl on a wheel chair, now now bear with me. She has both her legs but cannot walk at all, due to a spine injury or something more severe if we wanna be more dramatic. Its hard to place her personality as most of the things are already portraited by the actual girls so i guess the easy way out would be to have a girl that is actually a handful because of her disability, always being rude to everyone, even those who help her out and would hate her time in the academy. Hisao would approach her in spite of that and try to show her that she's just like everyone else etc.

That's also what happens if you pick a different route after romancing your favourite Katawa

>>537835856
We just don't know.
At the very least, there's no information on the material that explains where every other background is from.
Maybe it was always a drawing and does not originate from a photo?

>>537837415

Hokkaido looks different from Japan because everything there is at most 200 years old, and easily younger than that

I remember that I used to play katawa shoujo on linux mint about 10 years ago

>>537678865
what is this hanako doing. is she alright?

Why wasn't Katawa Shoujo ported to the OUYA.
Could Katawa Shoujo have saved the OUYA?
Was Four Leaf Studios too lazy to do it?
Were they paid by Bill Gates and Linus Torvalds not to do it?
Is there a monopoly on machines able to run this visual novel?

So many questions. Do you have the answer?

>>537944869
Im not sure a free eroge vn in 2012 would save an already doomed console. Plus it still would be on pc, so why would anyone play it on the OUYA?

good night katwas,
sleep tight

>>537945196
Well, it could have been a system seller if they had the monopoly on it. And if that wouldn't have been possible because monopolys are bad, maybe put some console exclusiv content on it, like a Misha route.

What do you think about the other questions? Am I onto something?

>>537945519
dream well

>>537944869
You know the answer to that anon. That aside, there is this multiplatform port that probably supports android.

>>537944869
4LS was threatened to not put Katawa Shoujo on the OUYA. It's pretty obvious that it would've saved it otherwise. The reason we haven't gotten KS2 is because 4LS were so disheartened by the failure of the OUYA.

Last week was pretty hectic due to moving and last few days have been a real downer, and its not exactly easy to "keep my chin up" when there's a chance to be let go from the best job i ever had because a couple of boomers are upset for the wrong reasons.

>>537983461

> to be let go from the best job i ever had because a couple of boomers are upset for the wrong reasons.
That sounds extremely stressful, and right after moving, good luck anon!

>>537991354
Thank you. This kind of shit always happens when you least need it, pretty common, especially for me. I got one of the supervisors ensuring me that he will back me up but given my luck, i know its not gonna be enough so i just try to adjust to the idea of looking for something else in the near future, oh welp.

>>537975718
>How's life?
I'm really disappointed with myself and the world about the fact that I have yet to figure out that One Big Thing I'm supposed to dedicate my life to.
Why is my writer slacking off so badly, I'd like to file a complaint

Nooo you're suppose to love the comic relief tin foil hat schizo. You should totally read the same rants all over again when replaying routes. Dude, 3rd scene where he begs you to borrow him money is such a tear inducing moment.

>>538005138

who wants a katawa drawn?

>>537995040
nice pic rel, Shizune looks kinds of evil on the last slide, but I guess she feels love too

>>538010871

i am not immune to a mish squish

thanks anon

>>538010871
a somber Hanako looking out a window at night?

>>538018997
I went in the order: Emi, Hanako, Shizune, Rin, Lilly.
Emi is by far my favorite, Lilly is second. Special mention for Rin's route because her ending made be cry like a baby.

>>538020032
but the question still remains
who is squishing the mish

>>538020032

>>538029567
Looks amazing, thanks anon. I captures aspects of her character pretty well.

>>537998419
>nooo dude it's a pointless scene if I'm not looking at my heckin waifurino
You literally do not understand the value of the scenes, and that's a damn shame for you

>>538031329
What do (you) get out of a Kenji scene?

>>538032871
Kenji is a genuinely interesting character beyond just simple comic relief, multilayered and with some things to figure out. He becomes more interesting nowadays when you see what a caricature of an extreme anti-feminist looked like back then. All of his scenes are genuinely funny. He offers some motivational words in a way that nobody else would deliver in the story, and possibly ones that they couldn't. He fills the world of Yamaku and brings a lot of texture, because only talking to potential fuck buddies and adults would make it feel much less like a school and much more like meet n fuck kingdom. I don't think he's the fucking make-or-break for Katawa Shoujo, but he's genuinely a great addition and I can't fathom the idea of not wanting him there.

>>538033402
Well, I personally found him irritating but I consider that fine because I'm pretty sure that was his (writer) intended effect.

Sometimes I felt sorry for him but not enough that I'd actually bother with him were I Hisao and sometimes I enjoyed the meta aspect of what he was talking about either as commentary or to the wider arc. Also he broke stuff up, like a transition.

>>538033402
>>538033757
I would have loved it if Kenji was actually more portrayed as Hisaos friend. Maybe Hisao could decide to take him on a few dates, like take him together with Lilly and Hanako to drink tea. Or maybe he can help with the student council, where Misha would just simply translate his shitty dialoge different to Shizune. It would end horrible but because noone else wants to be arround Kenji, he would just say yes sometimes. Would be an actually fun route to show him, that not every women is evil.

>>538037705
Guy needs a redemption arc...

If it is, then holding hands is French kissing.

>>538032871
I liked Kenji, I didn't find him even that funny (depends).
I just imagined I'm talking to 4chan schitzo or my grandpa. That type of people who get everything wrong in the right way. Sometimes life throws you a roommate / classmate / family member / anyone else and you can find some common language because they are people but you can't help them, just agree to keep them close, have a laugh behind their back and move on with your day.

Goodnight /ksg/, don't die while I'm asleep

How does a 3D fuck 2D? If she's a plane, it she infinitely flimsy or infinitely inflexible. So it would be like fucking nothing or fucking an infinitely sharp razor?

>>538121786
Had a rough wake up call, literally. Long story short, i changed ISP while moving but my old one is keeping up the incompetence and i keep getting calls for things i specifically told them to do and not do for terminating my contract with them and such call happened at like 08:30 today so after that i forced myself to sleep and woke up again half an hour ago, hope the rest of the day goes by smoothly. If you end up drawing something, do share it with us.

>>538121803

Thats understandable, not all people are the same, some can do fine inside (like me) and others less so, just dont ever feel "forced" to do things in order to break the mundane routine, do what you really wish for with reason and availability of course

NTA, but it's just a site that syncs video playback. Basically everyone is streaming a video separately, and the site provides a way to make sure everyone's stream starts at the same time, and gives you a chat window on the side. It's legit. The anime nights are fun.

>>538191780
>can blind people do teamsports?
Goalball was invented for blind people to play as a team.
It's similar to handball, but you play on your hands and knees, there are tactile markings for the court and the ball has bells inside so they can hear it.
The Emi/Lilly OC plays it.

>>538192696
>Goalball
I am always amazed how people can overcome their disabilities and do amazing stuff like this

>>538190097
heh

>>538190259
Implying Emi likes headpats even remotely as much as Hanako.

>>538191780
A good average measurement would be the last poll that took place, its in the OP.

>would honka survive in stalker: shadow of chernobyl?
Any woman would be in a disadvantage in the Zone for a lot of reasons. If we disregard that for the sake of arguement well, hard to say. I'd like to say my wife would be able to handle it but there would be issues for sure, maybe staying clear of danger as much as possible and doing a bit of trader work in hub areas would be best.

Bonus, which katawa in what faction:
>Hanako
Ecologists for that aformentioned low profile work.
>Lilly
Loner because she's the kinda gal that wants to do her own thing
>Emi
Freedom, she wants to experience the Zone to the fullest, no restrictions.
>Shizune
Duty because, come on.
>Rin

I thought women couldn't go into the zone because it just kills them or something? I dont really rember because it's mentioned only once i think in Roadside Picnic, and STALKER was sticking with that reason?
I remember the men that went into the zone permanently had their testcles/sperm production altered and only produced mutants, which was a major plot point.

>>537875592
Tomi is a deaf/dumb/blind girl but she was not born this way. After seeing her stepfather murder her father during an argument over her mother, five year old Tomi goes into shock. Tomi's parents coerce her into believing she "did not see or hear anything" and "you won't say anything to anyone". Tomi disassociates and becomes deaf, dumb and blind to the outside world. Tomi now relies on her sense of touch and imagination.Sickness will surely take the mind, where mins don't usually go and the only thing she can see, is herself in the mirror.
Her mother is stricken with guilt and takes Tomi to all sorts of experts and even resorts to cult-like religious healers. Tomi's stepfather, being a bit of a a prick, tries to instead shock her back to her senses including giving her hallucinogenic drugs and letting his perverted uncle and sadistic nephew babysit her.
Eventually Tomi stumbles on a pachinko machine and it turns out she's a Pachinko Wizard, always winning. So her parents use the money mostly for themselves, but they do send her off to Yamaku so they don't have to deal with her anymore.

>>538210558
I have little interest in replaying the thing itself given that there's no surprise factor, I already know what happens if I choose to do this instead of that, etc.
I'd rather explore side material such as the Miki route or Sisterhood, it can be good or bad but at least it's new information

>>538170860
My point stays, Hokkaido doesn't generally look like the rest of Japan because it was colonised at a time when Japan was opening itself up to foreign influences, and that house could very well be supposed to be just a few decades old. I mean, the local cuisine even includes butter, something that is otherwise associated with the West

>>538208031
Ai tends to do that

>>538161559
oh hell yes

>>537837415
Crud ran out of location pics. Most of the interiors excepting obvious Japanese locations like the Shanghai and Aura Mart are US locations taken by other people (the library and hallway outside Nurse's office are Yale, the dorm rooms are Brown because yujovi was a student there at the time, etc).

Morning /ksg/
Time for the usual relaxing sunday.

>>538203890
Dont know about Roadside Picknick but Stalker doesnt have such complicated reason, its simply because its a warzone of criminals with sci-fi horrors sprinkled on top so its not exactly a feminine enviroment. I know there's women in Stalker 2 but its like what, 4? You dont even run into others out in the field so the fact still stands, women simply dont venture into the zone because its too dangerous and/or they have no obligation to do so.

>>537840841
The library's from Yale, not Brown. The Brown pics came from yujovi who after graduating got a job at NASA. Legend has it he only got permission to take the photos of Rin's room if he agreed to fuck the occupant. Many of the outside photos are heavily photoshopped to either add or remove elements; the rooftop is actually a clay court that was in heavy disrepair so Delta replaced it with gravel.

>>538202978
fun fact
he was created by accident after one of the devs looked at early shizune art and said "that's Harry Potter"
kenji's bouncy theme music was actually written for shizune before Nicol composed 'the student council'
this is the reason the two only share one brief scene together so you don't think about it too much

I have to be honest with you, /ksg/, despite the many generals we've shared together, the many shitposts and laughs, I simply can't lie to you all anymore... havarti cheese is total ass... I'm sorry, it's true...

Go by order of release, SoC then CS then CoP. Dont dive into any mods for your first playthrough, and SoC is not as buggy as people make it seem to be but if you wanna be on the safe side, simply install ZRP, its all you need for your first run. Dont be discouraged by the early firefights where all you can use is pea shooters, it gets better the moment you get something that doesnt look like a toy gun which is like, 15 or so minutes into the game. Last but not least, go blind, dont look up anything about the game, its not hard to follow and you can progress on your own fine and half its beauty is the interactions the player ends up within the game. Sidenote: do NOT grab the Enhanced Editions, they have their own bugs, censorship and other issues so its better to grab the originals.

>>538258585
I think this is a big selling point for me. Its not just depressing i'd say, its more like, a "blissful hell" a premise where in actuality everything's awful and yet, there's still a glimmer of hope and the human condition shines through among other things or if you look things at face value you can have cool guns and shoot dudes with just the right amount of realism, all with an atmosphere that hasnt been beaten by other games even 18 years later.

>>538281043
I ask myself that question every day, metaphorically of course

>>538277417
It's the reset of the cycle

>>538281725
What if she's the one patting you?

>>538276293
>How was your Paturday?
okay
>Did you pat a lot of head?
no
Did you get pats?
no
Did you patpost you're katawa?
no, I am a day late

>>538281725
> I am not sure if Shizune would enjoy pats.
Yes, but she would never admit she does.

>>538283765
hopefully the next cycle will be nicer...

>>538261040
>everything's awful and yet, there's still a glimmer of hope and the human condition shines through
That's the point of the movie. They two guys want to destroy the wishing room because someone who reaches it might wish for something evil instead of wealth (what the only stalker who reached it wished for). When the stalker that is guiding them learns their true intentions he argues that people need the idea of the wishing room and the hope it brings.

>>538281725
Are you willing to find out?

>>538290637
Im not too familiar with the movie but it sounds on point. Slavs do have their way of romanticising the bad side of things quite effectively.

>>538295232
She gives me the gift of immortality and we spend our endless time together, its a win-win.

>>538295232
If vampire bites make people immortal, does it fix katawas?

>>538294591
FEEDING MISHA WHAT

>>538299559
She has a great body, why does she have to be such a bitch?

>>538308278
a bitter-sweet

>>538309734
Her canon ending for me is when she takes you outside and apologises for all her bullshit before you leave her looking sad on those steps. She deserves it.

Emi used goods

>>538308278
I guess because it's kind of the point to learn to love someone with all their flaws.

Shizune is best girl btw.

>>538310839
your words sadden my heart,
cruelty overflows.

Is there no choosing what route to do? Do I just have to finish all this Emi stuff first?

>>538312867
you missed the part where she richly earned that ending.

>>538314539
You picked based on your first few choices. Here's a map of how to get each route (spoilers technically)

>>538314539
>your face when, obeyed the nurse

>>538314539
>Do I just have to finish all this Emi stuff first?
Sounds like you do now.

>>538314539
I never understood how people suddently ended up in Emi's route, but that's maybe just because I don't like working out

>>538314896
>>538314976
>>538315092
I just finished up the Emi route a minute after posting. I really want the blonde blind girl though. Had my sights on her as soon as she showed up.

>>538315568
>kleeposter likes lilly
holy fucking based

>>538315568
Lilly is actually best girl. Every quality you could want in a woman.

>>538315357
its people just trying to be sensible and not die

>>538301382
Shizune's pussy snot straight from my dick.

>>538316741
Irony being she'd absolutely go for that if Shizune was up for it.

good night katawas
sleep tight
