i can tell you that both of these statements are false

of course for a lot of the pc98 stuff people like to talk about it does stand to reason that lots of effort would be put into the art of games where visual appeal is one of their main selling points. though even among stuff you'd expect to be outright eroge you get some odd ones like dragon master silk and rusty that, aren't

I've never played a PC-98 game but more games should do that cool border thing, imo

One of those Dragon Knight games came over to IBM DOS as Knights of Xentar but I can't remember which one it is

Question - is that TWEWY anime a good way to get caught up on what happens in the first game?

dragon knight series was by Elf who also handled the classic YU-NO, they have a lot of untranslated but high quality games.

Yeah, it covers the main points plus the secret ending but otherwise feels kind of rushed and cuts out a lot of extra character interaction that helps flesh out their relationship with the lead a bit more.

not really, it kinda sucks
- long time twewy fan who's played every single release of the game (except for NEO - when the gently caress is it coming to pc???)

to elaborate just a little: it touches on the main story beats, for the most part, but it's extremely rushed, glosses over a lot of character development and the execution as a whole is just flawed / low quality

You mean the stuff they put in the rerelease, or just the big bonus boss?

The anime doesn’t cover the new post game ending stuff from the re-release which is what would really matter.

You can quickly read a synopsis of the secret ending and be fine. Honestly you can even just not do that because the game beats you over the head with the information about what happened, you just don’t have the fine details. I didn’t play the secret ending, read a synopsis and I followed the events without issue.

No, just the main story plus the secret ending that you get from collecting all the secret reports. The extra A New Day segment from the remake (which is actually pretty important to the sequel) isn’t covered at all, neither are the events of Another Day.

Though to be fair in the case of the former, NEO recaps the main points of said extra episode pretty throughly so really all you get for knowing about it beforehand is a little extra context (like why Minamimoto is suddenly alive again in the sequel).

The VTuber thread lives on, here in the chat thread!

So someone in there brought my attention to YouTube Vanced, is there a way to make sure that any video links people post just open I Vanced that I'm missing or no? And I wish I could refresh the homepage by pulling the screen down, there doesn't seem to be a way beyond closing and reopening it.
