If you were forced to have sex with an uggo, between leiri or noami, which one would be less ghastly to be forced to have sex with.

That depends on which version of the characters they are. In KS1, Naomi is marginally preferable, but KS2 Rieri is better than both of them.

Why do you hate tentacles so much? I mean, I can understand if someone who prefers vanilla don't like them, but I would guess that someone who likes hardcore would at least be indifferent towards them, not totally hating it.

If it's written well-enough, to me, it's no different than a bunch of guys or monsters doing things to a woman. Emphasis on well-written, of course. Some of them are horribly boring but that also goes for any scenes, whatever the subject.

I am indifferent towards them. They don't interest me in the slightest, unless somebody puts some kind of unexpected, creative twist on them. What makes me hate them is the fact that every single tentacle scene is awful to translate. Nothing slows me down more. They're always full of word choices that don't translate easily, and various things which are hard to conceptualize or keep track of. I swear to God, the last one I did forced me to think of a sexy way of translating the word for "land reclamation".

Anonymous asked:

Besides the tentacle scenes, what is the biggest issue you have with Chronos?

The story is rushed, and the route divergence doesn't make any sense.

Anonymous asked:

Out of all Lilith games you’re familiar with, which one would you say has the worst cast of characters overall?

I never liked any characters in KS1. It's got two unlikeable, not-especially-attractive heroines, and the most boring, pathetic version of Bogan.

Anonymous asked:

Which Lilith game do you feel has the weakest art?

There are a number of potential candidates, but I would lean towards Onna Kentoushi Minerva. Everything about the character designs and proportions, as well as some of the scene CGs, looks off to me, if not downright ugly. There are some older games which are arguably worse, but that one is relatively modern, so they should have known better by that point.

Can you translate the recent Asagi and Oboro lesbian scene from Taimanin RPGX if you or when you have the time

I'm interested, but given the circumstances with RPGX, I'll have to count that as equal to all the other scene requests. And I'm having a hard enough time right now trying to balance an obnoxious tentacle scene with getting an Alice patch out.

Anonymous asked:

have you ever considered translating Sengoku Makan

Not particularly, but I can note it down.

Anonymous asked:

Do you have a favourite artist/illustrator in Taimanin RPGX?

No. If anything, the colouring style makes some of them blend together.

Anonymous asked:

Besides TY2’s homework scene, which scene from any VN was the most irritating for you to translate?

I recall the earliest tentacle scene in TA3 as being particularly bad, for all the usual tentacle-related reasons.

Anonymous asked:

Is translating these games your main source of income?

No. I have an actual job eating up my time, which is why nothing ever, ever goes as quickly as it should.

Anonymous asked:

Do you ever subscribe to any pixiv fanbox pages or the like?

No. I don't have that kind of income, and I frequently forget that Fanbox even exists.

Anonymous asked:

have you ever used chatGPT or other AI chatbot to translate some hard and/or complicated sentences?

No. I figure it's not worth bothering when it comes to pornographic content, because there's an ever-evolving cat-and-mouse game to try and trick the AI into disabling its "safety" filters, and I don't care to keep up with that. I've used Copilot to try more nuanced searches when traditional searches fail, but even then, I've had cases where it just makes stuff up, and then, when I ask for a source, it invents fake characters from major anime series.

When I was first testing out the possibility of doing RPGX stories, I did a test run of Chapter 20 (since I didn't know exactly how far into the story they would be going before they stopped). There's a line in there which lists ten martial arts terms for weak spots in the human body. It took a lot of searching and cross-referencing to figure out what they all meant, and how to phrase them in English. And then, it occurred to me to wonder how well an AI would do. So I fed the whole line into one, and asked it to translate each of the terms. It recognized that they were all martial arts weak spots, but then told me that they were impossible to translate, and transliterated them instead.

So whereas I had to spend an hour and a half searching for these terms to laboriously translate them one by one, through the magic of technology, the AI instantly analyzed my request, checked it against its databanks, and, in a state-of-the-art display of realistic human personality, was too lazy to do anything about it. This is the kind of next-level intelligence that is going to send us rocketing into the world of transhumanism, and blur the line between man and machine. Just wait until we introduce it to the concept of hammocks.

Who's better, Kagami Hirotaka or Aoi Nagisa?

Kagami, easily. He had that period around TA3 where some of his facial proportions looked a little ugly, and another one that I recall during TABA when he was either sick or injured for a long while, and it affected his art. But Aoi Nagisa has never managed to get his character designs or proportions consistent, ever. Look at the way that Real and Ryouji have completely different appearances in their first few scene CGs, and they just never corrected that. Look at the way that various characters have had their breasts balloon to ridiculous sizes over time. Look at how difficult it is to tell the difference between present and future Asuka in some images. Kagami doesn't have these problems.

Anonymous asked:

Which one will happen first: Japanese government easing out on immigration to strengthen their workforce, or them deciding "fuck it, let's go the way of the dodo" instead?

The immigration stance will be easy to change, if and when differently-minded people get put in charge. I'd prefer they try to fix their economy without Westernizing, because after a certain point, they won't be Japan anymore. I say conscript the hikkikomori. Having a depressed, antisocial NEET being forced to perform a job they hate doesn't sound like it would be much different from your average government service worker.

Anonymous asked:

Is it Loxol or Loxoll? I’m asking because Taimanin Wiki used the latter but someone changed it to the former and vndb.org uses “Loxol”

It's Lokithor. ã‚½ãƒ¼ãƒ« is an alternate transliteration of Thor, as opposed to the more common トール.

Would you make sweet, sweet love to a couch? Slip it in between those thick, soft cushions?

Um, ackshually, she's a sofa. I won't tolerate these slurs against my girlfriend, shitlord.

Have you ever purchased merch?

Assuming you mean eroge merchandise, no. I'd like to buy some of the stupid stuff, like coat hangers, but I'm not made of money.

What do you think about the new taimanin energy supplements?

Hey, if they've got someone dressed like a doctor there, then it must work.

Anonymous asked:

If you could change one thing about Taima Seiko Alice, what would it be?

The story has some structural issues. It came out at around the same time as Chronos, and shares its basic format, wherein the last half gets split into two routes with two different focuses. This not only makes it feel shorter than it is, but it results in strange things like Bakgodek not appearing in the true route at all. I would stretch it out to be a standard 15 000 line-long game, and ensure that everything that gets set up has at least some sort of payoff somewhere down the line.

Can I request the gyakushuu vn series?

Yes.

Anonymous asked:

Have you ever read a VN that's so well written it's made you stop and reevaluate the way you look at things?

Not really. It's mainly Japanese drama shlock and porn, not The Complete Works of Jean-Paul Sartre.

Anonymous asked:

How does it feel when sometimes people use you like a chatbot?

It's not really like that. If that were the case, they would inevitably start dirty talking and roleplaying, since that's all anyone ever does with chatbots. As it stands, not a single one of you has even tried to get my panties off.

Anonymous asked:

Which H-scene was the most fun for you to translate so far?

None of them are, strictly speaking, "fun" to work on. Any scene is far more enjoyable when I don't turn it into work, and can forget about issues of phrasing and so on. So the closest to fun would be a scene that I still find replayable, even after I've scrutinized it to death. Examples of these would be the Byg prostitution scene in TA0, or the Asagi/Sakura scene in RPGX.

Do you think Drake is a pedo?

I barely know who that is, but probably. I hear he has a hundred gigabytes. I say lock him up, just to be sure.

Welp, the Blue Jays suck this year. What's your prediction for them in 2025?

I predict that, unfortunately, they will still be a sports team from Toronto.
