I went and tracked down the specific image on danbooru since a query for the artist was linked instead, unusually, and I find the specific image links helpful. Here it is in case anyone else wants it too: https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/1911964

The artists other works are worth checking out as well though! I recognize a bunch from songs on YouTube that I encountered a few years ago.

He’s not wrong; making nicely styled anything in UI is a PITA.

with a simple menu like in Nier Automata

If you go and break down all the little things it does, it’s actually not that simple. It’s not quite as in-your-face as P5’s menus were, but there’s a bunch of little transition effects – things like the triangle dissolve when opening it and a particular typewriter text effect that types out characters with deliberately wrong letters before correcting itself. Areas changing color like progress bars – which can be interrupted and which reverse themselves nicely if the user changes tabs so that you get a transition effect without delaying the user much. An overall styling that’s reminiscent of old LCD screens – which needs to work cohesively with the rest of the game design. Subtle changes to the music when the menu is open. Special animation sequences (e.g. in ending E). Etc, etc. Individually none of them is all that hard, but putting it all together was probably still a PITA for whoever wrote it.

I set up a couple profiles with different colored backgrounds so that I can easily visually distinguish terminal windows when I have several open at once. For example, I usually switch the profile to one with a red background when I ssh into a server to help avoid confusion about which system I’m running commands on. I also cranked up the font size a bit in all profiles to make it easier for me to read.

GoG homepage > (your name [drop down menu] when logged in) > “Games” > Click on any game in your collection > Download offline backup game installers

You can download installers for whatever systems the game supports – usually that’s just a Windows .EXE installer (+ several .bin files if the game is large). For games intended to run on Linux w/o WINE, you can select “Linux” from a drop down where it says system and it will give you an .sh file.

It was marked sensitive on danbooru (which I’m not quite sure how to interpret) and there’s a panty peak. I thought it was probably fine, but I didn’t really want to get into arguments on my day off or get the instance in trouble if people were offended, so tagged it pre-emptively. (The sidebar recommends tagging if unsure.)

Sweet. I’ll keep an eye out for it on Steam next year.

Thanks everyone who responded!

Could you please provide a text description? I’m particularly curious about platforms – i.e. is PC included? – and which Lunar games are in the collection.

Google puts telemetry in the default keyboard app. Let that sink in for a moment.

I have a few of those, and while the ones I bought have worked out fine so far, I think it’s worth cautioning people that they are annoyingly loud doing basic operations.

Yes, that’s Kirino from Oreimo.

I don’t know what other systems do, but text-to-speech on my computer reads it as “with a shirt that says (pause) emo skull (pause) the dialogue reads…”

Thanks for trying. I tried jisho.org and translate.google.com before asking and struck out on both myself.

What does ぽやぽや mean?

Oh, I remember playing Iji! I think that was the first game I played that noticed and reacted if you tried to play as a pacifist. There was at least one unavoidable boss fight when I played it though, as I recall.

Digging back through my old disks, it looks like I actually still have my copy from 2008 (version 1.2, according to the manual.txt file) as well as a saved game from much later when I replayed it in February 2013. That was a while ago!

!animepics@reddthat.com – people mostly post fan art these days, but discussion of anything anime-adjacent (anime/manga/VN/hentai/etc.) is explicitly allowed too. In the past I’ve posted amusing/interesting stills from shows I was watching, custom image composites, screenshot comics, and things like that.

!anime_irl@ani.social – “A community for sharing relatable real-life situations depicted in anime.”

Huh. I recognize this one. I didn’t know who the artist was, but I’ve apparently seen a bunch of their work before attached to various songs that YouTube auto-played for me a few years ago.

Thanks for linking this!

A few off the top of my head: Shirobako. Space Dandy. Samurai Champloo. Ghost in the Shell: SAC.

Mawaru Penguindrum

Wow, that’s surprisingly quick turnaround!

I thought SpaceX was grounded. Were they really cleared to start launching again already?
