Thank you so much - much appreciated! Then it's a done deal.
I have the Shield and I find it very comfortable to use in bed. I would definitely recommend it! I haven't used the streaming feature do much, but I've tested it and should work fine, but doesn't work as well if you don't have the controller (I found that the touchscreen controls didn't always work the way I wanted). But for something like a VN, it would work great.
Might as well get the GPD Win, then.

thanks
regarding the pc streaming. For example, the google Remote Desktop app has some issues. some VN, when you click on the iPad, the VN doesn't respond.
edit: try Splashtop I just downdloaded it, The sound and clicking issues i had iwth google remote desktop appears to work fine so far.
The 10" non pro Surface is a good option it's just powerful enough and is only 10" + significantly lighter than the pro variant.

Another possibility is the Yoga Book also light and small and just powerful for VN's and light general use. Lighter than the surface I believe and can fold over into a tablet.

Just finished every route in Fruit of Grisaia. I gotta say felt like Amane's route was definitely the strongest by far took me on a much stronger emotional roller coaster than the rest her flashback in particular was just so well written. Looking for suggestions on new VN's now if anyone's got any.

It has the "I'm not a lolicon, I'm a feminist" badge. That's all I know of it.
Ugh, I know I jumped it without looking and bought it on Steam on principle alone, but my god, I don't recommend Dal Segno at all. Io's route was on the lower end of "acceptable", and Noeri's route was absolutely horrid (at the middle of the route I just put the text display on instant and basically hammered Enter after half-reading the sentence). And I'm still missing four more routes. Should have waited for W Happiness and see if that one also had an 18+ patch.
Funnily enough, I wouldn't recommend a high-end Windows tablet if you only want it to read visual novels. Try opening one on a 1080p display. It looks absolutely terrible.
As for the 4gb comment, as long as you're using a 32-bit version of Win10, you'll be fine. You do need to mind what you're opening, but it won't slowdown on a constant basis unlike the 64-bit version. Commenting this because I've used both versions on different machines with 2gb of RAM, and the difference between using a laptop with a 64-bit flavor of windows and a tablet with a 32-bit OS is like night and day.

I am broken. Why is Nightshade so damn sad. I expected a lighthearted cutesy otome, I got a super heavy tragedy instead. And for whatever reason I can't stop replaying it to get all endings.
Good VNs do that to you. I felt strangely empty after finishing it. At least not all of the routes were tragic.

watcha mean? As far as I know, there is a 18+ patch. You have to download it from their website.
EDIT: wait, really? My brain didn't processed that phrase correctly, lol. Will have to check it out whenever I get out of the office.
Glad I avoided that one was thinking of pickin' it up because it had a passing resemblance to Da Capo III and it's from the same publisher.
Even with the translation of the original Da Capo and the better translation of this one, I prefer it to this. That bad ended up. *sigh*. My main issue is the plot structure. It makes no damn sense at all, the drama is terribly done and the resolutions are facepalm-worthy. Boy do I regret it... I'm keeping at it pretty much because I spent money on it lol

wagamamai delayed to July 27th due to a memory leak.
Edit: fucking auto correct.
Edit: fucking auto correct.
I feel like I made a mistake by going for Kuroyuki and Chojiro first. Goemon felt like sunshine and rainbows in comparison. Chojiro broke me completely...
Eh, could have been a worse delay. Hopefully the full game is worth it.
Chojiro didn't deserve any of that
. His route was too much. Goemon and Hanzo's routes are despair free...for the most part.Funyarinpa

Just saw your edit. Link to the Dal Sego 18+ patch
Can I double edit that to clarify? I really meant a Princess Evangile 18+ patch *facepalm*

no worries. IIRC starting with Dal Segno, all their future release release will get a 18+ patch. I think they are working on patches for previous games on steam as well. I would assume the PEWH 18+ patch will be release when the game is release.Do it~
Character development in one of the routes is top notch. I'd go so far to say that it's one of the best in video games period. The way a certain relationship progresses despite the game being more on the short side is quite a feat.
Chojiro didn't deserve any of that
Hanzo and Gekkamaru are the only ones I haven't finished yet, I have very little interest in them as characters to be honest, but I'm sure I'll get to it soon enough.
Saphirax what other otomes would you recommend in that style? I don't think I've played that many with actual death and twists that I didn't see coming.
it's been a while, but I recall most of the stuff I saw on twitter being positive
can't say how it stacks up to the others, but at least a worthy entry
Oh man, Hanzo's route is the best. Enju is amazing in his route.
Do you have a Vita? If so, Collar x Malice is out this week and it looks right up your alley.
As for PC, the first part of Hakuoki should be out on Steam soon. Although if you're not fond of historical settings, you may find it dull. But there's plenty of despair all around! Only negative is that the second part doesn't have a release date yet. 2018 most likely.
If you're not averse to fan translations Black wolves saga Bloody nightmare has an English patch. Haven't played the game, but I heard it was dark.
Another one I haven't played, but heard it was good is Nameless ~The one thing you must recall~
Hatoful Boyfriend is a deceptive game that looks silly at a first glance, but is anything but. The true route is supposedly pretty twisted.

Subahibi's Steam page is up.
The art style makes me think it's a moege... Apparently it isn't, though.

A really cool video just got posted, What is Chaos;Child and Why Should You Care?
It purports to be spoiler-free, though I'll warn those "going in blind" sorts of people that it does go over the structure of the game and number of routes, gameplay mechanics, simple stuff like that.
I'm also curious to know if you guys think it would be worth posting a thread with this video. Might be cool to raise awareness of the game.

Now that's a cool video, I was kind of ignoring it since it seemed like after S;G nothing really good came from the series, but this gives me something to hype again.
Maybe a new thread for an opinion without (?) even a date is a bit too much though.

I suppose you may have a point, though it was slated for Q3 and some promo material said September, they haven't nailed down the date. Preorders are up on Amazon US now, though.
Edit: I'm also considering signing up for this game's OT, and a thread like that would give me some valuable data on what to put in the FAQ, haha.
Thanks a lot for this!
I've played Hakuoki and although I liked it, I found the final Kazama Chikage route the best and wished there was more to it, as to me that was the true story. Enjoyed Souji most of all from the rest, but generally I found it hard to love the characters.
Collar x Malice looks amazing, I'll definitely check it out! I don't mind fan translations at all, in fact from my experience they even tend to be better than the original sometimes. I'll give Black Wolves a go too, thanks
I've played Nameless (I'm PC primarily, but I do own all consoles) and it was pretty good but not dark in the tragic sense. More like... dark in the horror sense I suppose. I enjoyed it, but it was a lot less... mature.
I only finished the Okosan and the library bird endings in Hatoful Boyfriend. I laughed and then I cried. :'D

It's not a moege. I am excited to read it. I wonder if the kickstarter is up now.

You're in luck then! Kazama's route has been expanded and it now doesn't feel like an afterthought. There are also six new routes to boot. Maybe it'd be best to wait until both parts are out though and/or on sale.
Heard nothing but praise about CxM, so I'm excited to finally be able to play it. If you do get it, and if you want to get all the bad endings you'll need to use a guide. The game doesn't keep track of them and going back to get them is kind of a hassle.
Heads up Koihime Musou and a few other decent VN's are on sale on Nutaku (Koihime Musou is $27)
Can't exactly link to it due to the EXTREME NSFW of the site and also not a big fan of the site (the games are buried under blatant cashgrab smut) but it's a really good deal.
Also question: Any opinions on Chrono Clock and or Princess Evangile (both on sale for about $30) are they any good? Has anyone here tried them?

Oh whaaatttt I didn't know about the extension of Kazama's route! That's awesome thank you
Now I'm hyped too! It is a bit pricey, but I've come to terms with the fact that vita otome games just never go on sale and have an unreasonable price..

Just a heads up, there wil not be a 18+ patch for the steam version of wagamama high spec.
I must be super unlucky and miss it all the time then. I have an amazon wishlist too with mostly vita games and have notifications on for sales. I haven't gotten a single notification. Are the sales mostly on PSN? I'm EU btw, if that makes any difference.
Is the game itself even worth getting?
Yeah, they go on sale quite often. In fact, Period Cube and Hakuoki Kyoto Winds are currently on sale on EU psn.
*buys Period Cube*
