A and K Names don't really matter in dating sims, so you might as well keep the name you thought up; and I want to see the next game, not more of this game after Yuina. Edit: vibratingsheep posted:The second part of the poll isn't "who do you want me to beat the game with also"; it's "Who do you want to see on the side during the Yuina run" I'm still going with K.

You're very good at presentation, and I like how you're able to combine explaining game mechanics with cultural notes. I am genuinely looking forward to another run and seeing the future games. I couldn't find anything from you in the LP Archive, have you done any other projects?

Because of this lady here I have a weakness for sporty-types in these games. Nozomi was eccentric enough when we met here, even though she got Bite the Dusted, and I can only imagine a Baseball lady will be even more insane. Ayako is good too, I like Engrish, but I'll reserve my votes for the sportsers.

Tokimeki Memorial: Yuina run Table of Contents Yuina, Chapter 1: A Goon of a Different Color Yuina, Chapter 2: Enter the Archnemesis Yuina, Chapter 3: One Crazy Summer Yuina, Chapter 4: It's Only Cheating If You're Caught Yuina, Chapter 5: Wizardry Yuina, Chapter 6: I'm So Into You, But I'm Way Too Smart For You Chapter 1: A Goon of a Different Color Hello! It has been a while. I would like to introduce to you a new friend.  His name is Fudou Gundayu, which is a name I stole from a 20th century physicist named Aida Gundayu. Gundayu wrote such fascinating-sounding books as "The Tale of the Universe: From Fire to Atomic Energy" and "The Simple Universe: From Atoms to Man-Made Satellites". I figure it'd be a fitting tribute to our  run... and totally not just a coincidence stemming from my Googling of real names that include "goon".This new Goon's goal in life is to explore other aspects of high school life, and as such, he will be joining the computer club! This will not only catch Yuina's attention early, but also neatly avoid most people who aren't Yuina or Saki. For reference, these are the stats that Yuina demands before she finds this new Goon to be worthy: Stamina: N/A | Lit: N/A | Science: 120+ Art: N/A | Sports: N/A | General Knowledge: 100+ Looks: 60+ | Guts: N/A | Stress: N/A How easy is this compared to Shiori? Well, it took over two full years to build stats to Shiori's standards, and it attracted a ton of unwanted attention. Meanwhile, you can fulfill Yuina's stat requirements within 9 months of the beginning of the game, with no particular difficulty. First order of business: Join the computer club.  Easy! The computer club builds Science, Guts, and General Knowledge (in that order), while eating way at Looks, Sports, and generating tons of Stress. It's just like being a real engineer! But weirdly, since the computer club is so good at building Guts (and because I spent some Sundays exercising), the first girl we meet is actually Saki. I swear that this was not planned! I was planning to meet her after Yuina, she just beat my schedule by a week. 5/8: Meet Saki  Goon: Whew, it's finally recess... Saki: Fudou-kun.  Goon: Y, yes, that's me. And you are...? Saki: Oh! I'm the manager of the baseball club, Nijino Saki... Goon: So, why're you talking to me...? Saki: You have guts. Together, we can make it to Koushien! What can I say, I'm a sucker for a high school baseball story. Sue me! Goon: Sorry, but I'm not very interested in baseball. Saki: Is that so... if you joined us, our team would be so much stronger... Goon: Sorry. But I think you're really overestimating me. Saki: Not at all! But... I can't force you. Goon: Maybe if I feel like it, I'll go check it out? Saki: Okay! I'll be waiting for you. See you then! Dammit, Alternate Universe Goon... when a girl asks you to play high school baseball, manga says YOU SAY YES!  Yoshio: Whoa! Wasn't that Nijino Saki? Goon: Seems like it. Yoshio: What did the idol of the sports clubs want to talk to you about? Goon: She was trying to invite me to join the club. Yoshio: Hmmm? Whoops, class is about to start. As a note, "sports club" is a blanket term for all high school sports, and it is the opposite of "literary club" which covers pretty much anything else. 5/14:  Nijino Saki Birthday: January 13th Sign: Capricorn Blood Type: A Measurements: 81-59-82 (32-23-32) Club: Baseball Notes: The idol of the sports clubs. Her hobby is cooking. She's the kind of person who likes watching sports more than playing them. Some day, I will go back and Goon will be a baseball star so I can live my sports dreams through him. However, today is not that day, because the point of this run is to... 5/16: Meet Yuina  Goon: Hmm... what does ICE mean?  Yuina: It stands for "In-circuit Emulator." It's a device that lets you test your development targets in conditions very close to the real environment, in real time. I cannot begin to tell you how hard this line was for me to translate. Goddammit, I should've just let her kidnap Goon for knowing too much about science. Goon: Oh. Thanks, um.... Yuina: Himoo Yuina. You should at least learn the names of your fellow club members when you join. Goon: S, sorry, Himoo-san... Yuina: That is the kind of thing that keeps you from learning these rudimentary concepts. Goon: (This counts as rudimentary?) Yuina: You need to focus more on your studies. Now, I must excuse myself. Goon: Sigh... what a stern woman.  If you want to read Yuina's profile, you can find it in Chapter 3. It's exactly the same. For now, we skip ahead to... 6/3:  By spending a lot of early-game time exercising, Goon has earned second place in the Scavenger Hunt Race! Unlike the last playthrough, the strong finish plus actually knowing three girls means that there's a folk dance after the sports festival in year one! Goon: Okay, time for the folk dance. Let's do this right!  Yuina: You really like this kind of thing? Goon: Alright, next is Nijino-san.  Saki: Oh! Lead on! Goon: Alright, next is Shiori.  Shiori: Lead on. Goon: The folk dance wasn't that bad. 7/7:  And now, we fast-forward to Yuina's birthday on 7/7... which is exactly the same event that it was in Chapter 3 of the Shiori playthrough. No whip this time - just the book on the theory of 6th generation computing. 7/15:  Thankfully, our focus on Science and only Science mean that it's easy to lie low and not draw Megumi's attention. However, it is recommended for Yuina playthroughs to be able to at least match her scores, so we'll need to tack a little over a hundred points onto Goon's test scores before it's all said and done. 8/14: Computer Club Summer Camp  I am including this screenshot because it's cute. 8/15:  Yuina: Have you compiled your program yet? Goon: No, I can't think of a good algorithm. Yuina: You should focus more on learning your math and physics. Goon: Y, you think so? Yuina: If you have no pride, why not try referencing another person's program? Goon: Analyse another program... could you let me study yours, Himoo-san? Yuina: If you can parse it, I do not mind. If you can parse it. Goon: "If I can parse it"...? Yuina: Well, try and do your best. Welp.  I am including this screenshot because it's funny. So as of 8/20/1995, Goon's stats are: Stamina 137 | Lit 45 | Science 104 Art 62 | Sports 98 | General Knowledge 60 Looks 74 | Guts 38 | Stress 1 Basically, he's about 5-6 weeks away from fulfilling all of the stat conditions we need. See how easy this is compared to Shiori?! It's ridiculous! Next time: Attack of the Killer Koala vibratingsheep fucked around with this message at 04:50 on Dec 3, 2014 |

I just want you to know this playthrough inspired me to try Girl's Side: First Love which in turn led me to showing my brother's girlfriend who then apparently went on to play it all day Monday. Three words: gently caress making chocolate. Are you planning to play those games too, eventually? No pressure, of course! I'll eat up whichever you play, I'm sure.

I like Yuina's gym uniform. The other girls are using those red bands to keep their hair back, but not only is Yuina keeping her hair right in her eyes as per usual, she's using it as a neck tie because she don't give a gently caress about sports.

Well that's understandable. What if someone gifted one to you? Not making any solid plans but I think it'd be worth it to get to see your reactions to playing from the other side of the gender barrier. As mentioned the chocolate is indeed an awful mini-game for Valentine's Day. It doesn't seem to be be something you absolutely need to master to snag the dude you want, just gives a huuuuge affection boost. You can buy them expensive chocolate and do pretty okay. Also your little brother is the one who keeps the info on guys in 'First Love' which is... slightly more unsettling compared to a classmate.

The blazer is also artistic shorthand for "I sat in the shade the whole time". Actually, in a TokiMemo side game named "Tokimeki After School: Let's Quiz", Yuina has a special scene for the sports festival. (screenshot to be added once I can screen cap it at home) Goon: (The sports festival has been cancelled by rain...) Goon: (Oh, hey, that's Himoo-san over there.) Goon: Hey, Himoo-san! Goon: They say the sports festival is being called due to rain. Yuina: Muhahaha... (TL note: The actual laugh is "fufufu", which is a very self-satisfied way of laughing in Japanese) Goon: Wh, what's with that laugh? Yuina: It is nothing. I am simply happy that the worthless sports festival has been cancelled. Goon: Y, yeah? Yuina: Muhahaha... what a splendid storm. Goon: W, wait, did you have something to do with this, Himoo-san...? Yuina: Wouldn't you like to know? Muhahaha... Goon: (It... it can't be... that Himoo-san made it rain... can it?) vibratingsheep fucked around with this message at 20:41 on Jan 15, 2014 |

I just lost about 3 hours of gameplay footage in an Xsplit crash, and that means that I can't render the .mp4 output file because it crashed during recording. :/ Does anyone know a good way to repair/recover the footage in such a situation? My friend says that a lot of the mp4 repair programs he found via Google don't work, and the Xsplit support forums have been shut down for months due to their security breach. It'd really suck to have to go back and recapture everything for screenshot purposes, but if nothing works...

Oh man I've played Tokimeki Girl's Side games years ago. They can be a kind of interesting look at social expectations/attitudes towards women crossed with myopic stat-counting. The dating a teacher thing is loving weird though. The principal guy is gross as all get out. I think I dated a cool guy with a motorcycle. I'm not very good at these sort of games  Reloading 100 times is out of this world-- I'd rather be a dropout at a gas station.Green Jacket posted:Well that's understandable.

I'd like to top that - in Second Season, it's your next door neighbor (who is still only maybe 12), and there is also an ending for him. In Third Story, it is one of your two best friends, who in random events can be found essentially stalking the male options for her purposes - she's obsessed with fortune telling and just has to know their blood type and birthdays and such.

I'm not very good at these sort of games To be fair, the teacher doesn't want to date you, so you do have to chase after him. (Also, the only present he accepts is homework.) On the other hand, the principal is ridiculous creepy. Count me in on wanting to subject vibratingsheep to Tokimemo Girl's Side and reveling in the resulting reactions. Hell, I'll even be taking a trip to Japan soon, so I can help with procuring them.
