Just on the off chance one of you has more answers than the search engines:

Sick in bed opened up my old 3DS LL and didn’t touch one anything I’d grabbed when I hacked it but instead a game I actually bought on the eshop: Ace Attorney Trilogy. I can’t get 20 minutes into Game 2 Case 2 before it crashes.


As far as someone with a legitimate game and these problems I seem to be unique. already updated the firmware and the cfw. My next step is suck it up and play through it in Japanese on an emulator. Still don’t like a hanging problem like this and uninstalling the illegal firmware I never touched seems like an absolute hassle.

it would be cheating to just name otome visual novels, right? I mean, if we’re talking about things that are actually fujoshi-pilled

If we’re just talking games that have big fujo followings but aren’t made for a fujoshi audience, then Dragon Quest XI and Final Fantasy XV would have to be near the top

After reformatibg my SD card twice putting all my files back on the card it still didn’t work.

So i went deep in 3DS setttings to get a temp password for the eshop and redownloaded the game and that fixed it. Yay.

current main writer of xiv is a fujo who inserted her catboy OC as a main character so its definitely up there as well

does it strike anyone as peculiar that games to this day use like um 2d graphics as fonts instead of rendering them

I’m playing a game that uses vectors–a .ttf font–imitating a DOS bitmap font, over bitmap graphics. ; )

So you can scale the lettering and make it look a little too big. : )

It was made using a visual novel engine.

I feel like I’ve meant to ask this somewhere for perhaps years now, but is there a name for the technique in some modern 2d games that for lack of a better term make the sprites look sorta like animated paper dolls? For an example I recall Ghosts 'n Goblins Resurrection suffering from this sometimes, particularly with the larger sprites. A few times it looks okay but in general I hate it and I’d like to know my enemy’s name if it has one.

I’m sure there’s a name for it but I always called it ā€œfucking flash jibjab garbageā€ even tho I’m not sure you can even do that stuff in flash

I could be wrong but I think they literally just call it ā€˜paper doll animation’

  • I switch my mouse between hands and I’m about to tell you which handedness I am in a post below and why I do such a weird thing

switching mousing hands helps stave off injury, learned it from my parents and we always had ambidextrous mice growing up. left mouse is also a shorter distance to move your hand if you’re using a full keyboard with numpad

i do some things with my left: tennis rackets, baseball bats, etc. i usually learn things right handed okay if they don’t involve the whole body but i have severe dysgraphia so my handwriting is illegible either way and i never switched in school

honestly i did this for a while too but I got sick of changing the mouse settings and dealing with moving the wire back and forth so I stopped. Mostly I wanted to learn how to do it with both hands for Inexplicable Reasons but the injury thing is real

i think the same mutation that lets me use keyboards without legends automatically remaps my fingers because when i’m left mousing i don’t remap the buttons

I tried that for a while too!!! It was actually surprisingly simple to switch but I was at work so even the short lag time was a bit of a problem

that brought to mind a hidden feature of multitouch trackpads: they don’t care which finger is where, just how many
