Things are still pretty rough and busy on my side so I don't have much to write about, especially in terms of new VN playthroughs. This probably won't change until the end of the year but we'll see how it goes.

The only update I have for this month is the addition of the recently released unofficial translation for Folie Fatale to our VN Patch List. Once again, thanks to @Berin@discuss.tchncs.de for posting about it.
If anyone else knows about any unofficial translations or patches worth adding to the list, please let me know. We can always use more of them!

That's all for today. I can't way until I'm in shape to read... anything really.

I just found this community after looking for a reddit alternative.

I made a series of JP restoration patches for Artemis engine games which also unlocks that engine's dual language display feature: https://vndb.org/p30421 (Henpri, Nukitashi, Kara no Shoujo)

Currently working on a translation patch for Minagoroshi no Otome (about 70% done with editing)

Jast is supposed to release an official translation at some point though, so I won't be putting that one on vndb

Welcome! Things are much quieter here than on reddit but I hope we can work towards being a proper alternative eventually.

These look like really cool projects, I'll make sure to add them to our patch list. I didn't expect anyone active on the scene to join us so that's a nice surprise.

I'm just fed up with having my accounts crushed by automated systems. After having my Steam account, X account and Reddit account all suspended/banned in the span of 3 weeks, I'm just so sick of it. After all I just want a place for some of my thoughts to live. I also feel like even though Reddit has way more people, it doesn't really do a good job at aggregating that presence into something valuable, and that has gotten even worse over time. Same as with youtube, subscriptions don't mean anything anymore because your feed just ignores them. Anyway, off topic, but I was so depressed about it I had to take some kind of action which is how I ended up here
