I should go back to Looking Glass Insects...
honestly after the talking desk and that rape scene I'm not sure if I have it in me to continue because so much of this is over my head
Fucking finally. I really hope we won't have to wait as long for the next chapter...
Chapters 7 and 8 are all "in testing" as well (i.e. out of TL & editing) so I don't think it'll take as long.
It's pretty obvious by now that Tsumihoroboshi won't release in January, which pits our wait for this at... nine months already.
Mangagamer's licensing survey is up for 2018.
I voted for Kimi to Kanojo to Kanojo no Koi, Atlach-Nacha and Shin Hayarigami. I'm looking forward to another year of them not being localised.

I keep voting for it too every time. Maybe one day it'll happen.
Haha, I'd have written that too but honestly, I loved the main game's localization and seeing as it is my favorite VN, I could wait another 1.5 years for a translation of the same caliber.
Subahibi CH1 (The one after the prologue)
Well, speculations aside, I'm enjoying it. Though at times the characters feel less like characters are more like mouthpieces for the author's ideals/rants.
I managed to figure how Takuji was tricking everyone (It's not particularly hard once you take all the "magic" away, as Yuki says), but I'm not really sure of what's happening, story-wise. It doesn't strike me as sci-fi type of story, it looks like the characters are stuck in some kind of limbo or at least several people's memories are messed up.
I think the twins are definitely not real at least, I'm on CH2 and they didn't appear until the novel switch to Takuji's Eroge mode.

So the 4:3 version/patch/update is going to be done like the 18+ version. Progress is being made on the Vita version.

Oh believe me, I am not taking their promise for getting it into my hands as 100% happening. I am not very familiar with the technical aspects of any of this, but just about every update about the 18+ patch/update/version/release/whatever it actually is and now the 4:3 ratio just makes it seem like they are making all of this more complicated than it needs to be. Or that they should have not called these things patches/updates but different versions in the first place.
I voted for White Album 2 again this year, so I'm really interested to see where it will be in the results line-up.
...damn, should have have remembered to vote for that myself.
Sorta threw some random things in it since most of what I care about would be on Vita.
They're phenomenal games made better with knowledge of the first game.
You could watch the anime adaptation which is available to stream on Funi or to buy on Amazon. It's alright.
They're remaking it soon though and I'd be willing to bet it will be localized. So if you're willing to wait like a year or so...
If you don't want to play the PC original, at least watch the anime adaptation of that game. The anime is also pretty good and almost essential to get most stuff that happens late game.
I hope the remake gets announced soon after its Japanese release :x With Atlus' current relationship with Aqua, I wouldn'y doubt it.
Oh, and this that was posted on the otome thread:

I'm actually really surprised with the Vita list! I also feel like not often do we get the best seller list for a combination of digital and physical. Surprised (and glad!) that Uta did so well! Also real surprised that Fate was no. 1. The fanbase in the west has certainly grown. (Can we have Stay/Night now plz?)
Subahibi chapter 2
This was uuuuhhh, really some disturbing and weird scenes, that honestly started to overstay their welcome after one point. They stopped being interesting and just became boring.
At this point I'm convinced the twins and Yuuki definitely don't exist. Given how the games references Jung quite a few times, I think most characters represent an aspect of Takuji's fractured psyche. This assuming he's actually the main "persona".
I'm not sure how to fit Yuki into this, but Takuji had a brother and I'm 100% convinced he's the missing connection. I just don't understand how she's hallucinating the twins too.
Zakuro and Kimika seem to be at least real.

I'm currently playing through Butterfly Soup and I can't stop grinning. It's seriously fantastic so far.
I just have one problem with it. One of the characters makes an explicit Zero Escape reference, but Butterfly Soup is set in 2008 and 999 didn't come out until 2009. Literally unplayable.

Subahibi chapter 3
Yeah, this is even more obvious now, except it looks like even Yuki is a personality of Takuji. I guess his behavior is a result of his abusive mother and other stuff hidden in the backstory that I can't quite grasp. Yuuki was definitely born as a defense mechanism after the rape.
I'm finding it pretty interesting and I want to know how it's going to end, but it's really a weird game. There are some pretty fucked up stuff and weirdly place sex scenes that make me hard to take it seriously at times, it really feels like it's trying too hard.
Subahibi CH4/ Looking-Glass Insects
This felt kinda pointless, it started pretty interesting and yeah I understand Zakuro is a central character, but I got bored midway. It feels like it mostly exists to clear up stuff in the plot. The bullying segments really went on for too long and were too heavy handed, especially if you combine the two routes (Kimika + Normal endings). And honestly all those porny CGs make me question how much of this stuff was meant to be fucked up and how much it's just there to give otaku fap fuel. Yeah, I know it's an eroge at the end of the day, but still.
I have no idea who Ayana is. Everything but her can be explained with the characters being delusional. Perhaps God really exists in Subahibi's universe or even the setting itself is in someone's mind.

I finished Muv-Luv Alternative yesterday. That was some ride!
For those who have finished it:
I really liked it though although it was so long that I think I'll play some different games now before tackling another VN. When the time comes, any recommendations for similar VNs?
For those who have finished it:
I thought that defeating the original hive would be a more decisive victory than what it was. Was the only effect that the Beta lost the ability to "adapt"? Seems like it could go either way for humanity in that timeline...

Translation Status Update January 21 from /r/visualnovels

In terms of similarity to Muv-luv, Baldr Sky Dive is definitely on the top of the list. I heard someone is already working on a translation.
Oh, hah, I didn't realize that. A friend pointed out a few other references would be a couple years too early but that one would have been on me to catch.
I also couldn't stop grinning the whole time (barring the bits it gets more serious); laughed out loud a ton too.
Douglas called the game a vita exclusive in a tweet a few hours ago. It's coming to ps4/vita now with plans for switch.
Enough for me. I'll be in the H A P P E N I N G bunker
For me it doesn't beat Steins;Gate but it's pretty damn close. Loved the ending scene. Even though it was kinda simple it had an enormous emotional impact on me.
I think the normal end of Chaos Child affected me more than the true end. True end gave me a "that's it?" feeling. With Steins;gate, it was the exact opposite.
