@MK2boogaloo@Witch_Hunter_Siegfried you're expecting people who argue online to actually take responsibility for their own failures instead of taking the easy way out and blaming everyone else and doing drugs
Why does it not integrate shit that other file formats can do fine? Oh wait you're a professional arguer who wished he could have been as cool as the tapout shirt guys in school
@EdBoatConnoisseur@Suiseiseki@MK2boogaloo rar is bad if you're fixating on that but it can handle corruption vastly better than 7z. 7z doesn't have a recovery record like rar does.
@wan@Arkana@wgiwf don't forget the fact that the nsfw artists in the West do it for the money and less because of the waifuism (some end up in more mainstream careers in the animation sphere but so many think patreon is the limit)
@wan@Arkana@wgiwf well there's also really high budget NSFW stuff, and doujin circles getting high budget like Type Moon. According to 16-bit sensation (the manga not the anime "adaptation") after an infamous incident in which a kid stole some random ass NSFW game and the boomers went Jack Thompson in the media over it, the NSFW industry both started to self-regulate but also that's when slowly the production values went up and tones shifted.
I mean, you don't see devs like Alice Soft in the west, or many of the other ones throughout the eras like Elf, leaf, and more. Nor do you see people saying "wow this is a solid game except it has porn scenes but fuck it's a solid game", or treating western NSFW games as a cult thing like weird VHS era movies.
To the west, porn games are always like what James Rolfe reviewed with the Atari Porn episode of AVGN, or meme tier games like Rapelay.
@wan@Arkana@wgiwf The other interesting thing about NSFW games in Japan is simpler: when the Sega Saturn came out devs found One Weird Trick to make money: take a porno game and take the sex out of the game.
Games like Desire, EVE Burst Error, Yu-No, and more ended up with Sega Saturn ports with the porn removed and just the story, and needless to say a game like Yu-No still was solid without the sex scenes. This continued onto the PS2 era for sure, and the PS2 had many "all ages" VN ports without the sex scenes (and then there were SFW VNs that solely focused on a story, like Steins Gate as well).
Eventually this led to lots of money being made and some mainstream success, which would inevitably cross over into the western weeb circles. VNs are far more popular than they were a decade or a two ago, where they would either be obscure or the kind of games that some SomethingAwful writer would take the piss out of.
