I made a video going into the invention of a lot of things we give for granted in visual novels, and a never translated title that came before what we consider "the start" of the Rance series

It's stuff never seen in English before!! (replies)

@dubjay3k Please don't get so riled up it's not good for the baby

@BlueStatice_ @pjmjyh Like if DHL can lay off thousands no longer needed for greatly reduced last-tract handling for Japan Post, and keep a smaller workforce exclusively dedicated to high value DHL orders, that's still a win for them.

[jayolite @jayolite]

@BlueStatice_ @pjmjyh DHL can possibly be losing money in the long run because of when busiest with handling work, hindering their priority workforce though.

They are "gaining money" even simply from all those JP orders disappearing, further bolstered by those that won't just stop buying.

[jayolite @jayolite]

@BlueStatice_ @pjmjyh DHL will still up their shipping earnings by a magnitude regardless, because now nobody can choose the cheapest option, and DHL is usually the next cheapest in Germany, plus those that just go by trust and habit.

It will objectively be enormous for them.

[jayolite @jayolite]

@BlueStatice_ @pjmjyh But none of those are addressing what I said.
When you use Japan Post they are the ones paid in full, and DHL is only commissioned as national carrier, getting far less money for their work.

You keep saying "it doesn't make sense" in a system now forcing you to pay DHL more.

[jayolite @jayolite]

@BlueStatice_ @pjmjyh Surely you understand the incentive in making you pay €50 directly to DHL as a priority order, instead of the paltry "handling commission" they would get for the same order as simply national post handlers of the package?

@debugwithcare @KagiMusic It's because it's where your main theme + embellishment is supposed to go, but creating that is impossible for a machine working by averages.

@ratsumichu @FaustDismere No she does not, gen z gyaru talk much differently.
She talks like a heisei gyaru, a much older variety, which adds to her incomprehensibility.

The problem is that the "outdated" part of "outdated gyaru" is completely ignored to make her go "skibidi rizz".

[jayolite @jayolite]

@ScriptingJapan I was more thinking brainrot (2000s) rather than valleygirl.
Incomprehensible references and outdated lingo would hit the intention of the character more closely than "skibidi rizz", which only focuses on the "niche lingo" facet.

@massivexdv The board was absolutely important to the culture and as the dominant space of the time, I'm just saying he doesn't sound like he was on it at all.

[jayolite @jayolite]

@SeraphDB It's such an odd attempt anyway since we have a web shop and a points system ensuring no whale would ever buy through the app store, so how do app store earning rankings matter?

The only real estimate possible is from the trimestral investors statement, not app store rankings.

そもそも検索避けの習慣自体は理解不能。
わざわざ影に潜んで「見たくない人が見てしまったらどうしてくれる？？」思想が平成すぎる。

[手嶋海嶺（ゆっくり生命体） @TeshimaKairei]

女性オタク文化の仕組みが分かってきた。

検索避け＆注意書きに加えて、ジャンル別にアカウントまで分けるから、どんどん「小さい村」になっていき、そのせいで「変なプチ権力者」が次々と誕生、プチ圧政が乱立し、ますます因習村化していく。

結果、更に非寛容に、更に許容範囲が狭くなっていく。

@Bugorskaya32765 Many are of the opinion that SEGA saw the writing on the wall for consumer gaming.
Nintendo's share was going parabolic, and SEGA management might have thought targeting ultra-enthusiasts would ensure them a safer share.

The X68000 died the same way, it was too soon.

Researchers gave bumblebees a straight route to food but some wandered off it to push tiny balls around instead. One bee did it 117 times.

@viralaffection god
had the sepulchritude wallpaper for years back then
it's been so long
why are you doing this to me

[jayolite @jayolite]

@Nikushimi22 When you step back from him being the narrating PoV Rance is kind of cute in a dumb klutz way you can kinda get what they mean

[jayolite @jayolite]

@AphantasticR It's very hard because for me the entire appeal of the series is outside of it. It's historical, from the most determinated studio to ever exist, it's a journey, 6 onwards are addicting.

But I'd never sell it on the writing, which is what a vn reader usually wants.
