Utter perfection. If you're going to play the entire series, best to get Shiori out of the way now so we don't have to bother with the Not Shioris in the sequels.

Is it too late to request a reset tally?

Er, actually I meant a count on how many times you had to reset your game on the endless journey to get Shiori to notice you.

Or did you mean that too?

B, because no plan should survive first contact with the enemy.

Also because "I'll have to stop doing this because otherwise I'll run into a girl" seems like it'd get boring fast.

B.

A isn't showing some spine, it's taking the easy way out. We're going to make Goon some friends whether he likes it or not.

These B votes are really confusing.

I could say the same for the C votes. It's like you guys want to make things easier for Goon.

Remember, the more friends he makes, the more time management sheep has to do. Picking C just means we'll be focusing on raising stats for Shiori.

So you're just going to have to keep reloading until you get the right present? I'm curious as to if that's actually necessary for the Shiori route or if it's just a thing you're doing because perfection.

If it's the former, then wow that is really bullshit.

I'm a native English speaker, and grew up speaking Vietnamese at home. My written Vietnamese is awful, and I never graduated from babytalk.

At least you didn't completely forget an entire language after entering elementary school. :downs:

I'm also enjoying the culture notes. Most of my knowledge regarding Japanese culture is of the utterly hosed up bits, so it's nice to see the more mundane parts too.

Then, when that agency's output hits native speakers and comes back with bad reviews, cognitive dissonance kicks in and they think "We spent so much money on this translation, our foreign branch has to be wrong, not this agency we hired". It's an uphill fight from there.

Ah yes, the "we didn't suck, you guys did" excuse. The bane of all foreign audiences.

How many resets do you estimate you'll have at the end? At the rate you're going now I'd assume you'll end with around 50, but it sounds like things are going to heat up soon.

I can only wonder how that relationship would work out. Do Rei and Goon just awkwardly skip over Rei going out of her way to be a jerk whenever they talk about how they met?

Also I'm kind of surprised the game doesn't have Shiori even mention Goon's birthday considering you get a bonus for it being on the same day.

He's not doing it because he needs to, he's doing it for Utter Perfection. Which is exactly why we all wanted him to shoot for that in the first place. :allears:

Also is Goon this angry at Rei even if you're shooting for her? It seems like it'd be really awkward.

I still think it's completely crazy that Rei and Goon could have possibly gotten into a relationship after years of Rei randomly coming in to poo poo on Goon. I can only imagine how that worked out. :v:

How did the game get "Ringun" out of "guun"? :psyduck:

Also I guess it's fitting that you picked the universal donor as the bloodtype for our sensitive Goon.

Man, this game's Sports Festival is a lot more hilarious than the last one. Are any of the other two also references to Konami games?

Man if we're not going to go with Hikari, we're gonna have to go all the way. We're going to be that one anime stereotype who is completely oblivious to the concept of love and just ends up looking like a massive dick.

None of these music suggestions accurately convey the frustration involved.
