Outpost Omega J

I did not use the link provided by Thalos. I used a link provide by littleshogun (I think; it was a while ago.) Give me a few minutes, I try to dig up the relevant forum posts.

Specifically, I'm looking for images to use in a PS2 emulator for the original four games of the series ".hack". I would appreciate a source website that doesn't make my computer's anti-virus software go into conniptions fits from 200 miles away.

Below are links to gamefaqs.com to clarify exactly which for games I'm looking for.

".hack//Infection Part 1" https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps2/551240-hack-infection-part-1

".hack//Mutation Part 2" https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps2/582446-hack-mutation-part-2

".hack//Outbreak Part 3" https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps2/589681-hack-outbreak-part-3

".hack//Quarantine Part 4" https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps2/589682-hack-quarantine-part-4

Ivan, on off chance you're about upload this title, could I ask you to wait at least a day? As I just bought it myself, seeing the upload NOW of all times would be rather painful.

We have an invasion of the butterfly people native to the lands known as Cafe Stella. I didn't know there were aquatic varieties of butterflies.

In the background, swimming in the ocean, on the right hand side, we have potentially one Shioyama Suzune floating in an inner tube.

Also in the background, on the left hand side, we have two individuals who might be Hiuchidani Mei holding on two some sort lime slice shaped flotation device, or is that a banana, and a possible sighting of Sumizome Nozomi.

Update: AVG is no longer throwing conniption fits. I don't know if it's something you did, the picture hosting site did, or AVG admins reclassified the hosting site as safe.

Potential sighting of the fabled wild and undomesticated Arihara Nanami and an overly brave individual, who may be Mibu Chisaki, that is potentially trying to tame this legendary creature with the bribe of a snow cone.

In the foreground of the picture to the right. The two women in bikinis, one redheaded and the other blond, with their backs turned to the camera.

vndb.org entries for the characters:

Arihara Nanami

Mibu Chisaki

Both character are from the VN "Riddle Joker".

Time to update my photo safari of runaway characters: My current tour zone is Angelic Chaos Reboot, and I have spotted the wild Kurama Koharu and Maniwa Roka. Their native habitat is usually the VN of Senren * Banka.

In the foreground on the right side of the picture.

vndb.org entries for the characters:

Kurama Koharu

Maniwa Roka

This is just out of idle curiosity, but a spoken line in the VN HaremKingdom sounds, almost verbatim, to be the same person speaking the same line in the VN Cafe Stella. I'm trying to look up the voice actor who played the character "Lulu" in HaremKingdom, but can't seem to find the answer.

The other character who I think is played by the same voice actor is "Hiuchidani Mei" from Cafe Stella, played by "Neraiuchi Urara" according to vndb.org.

vndb.org does not have an entry for the character Lulu from HaremKingdom (or at least I couldn't find it anyways).

I had to scroll nearly to the bottom of the page to find any updates. For a second, I thought we were going to see the week of zero progress. 😟

Given that this one won't be available through steam, I would especially appreciate it if you could upload it when it comes out.

If you happen to find this one, I would appreciate the upload.

And--- bump again.

Just bumping this above all the Russian spam bots.

There's a difference between nobody replying because they don't know the answer and nobody replying because this thread got buried beneath so much spam nobody even knows I asked the question.

I took this screen shot from Kakenuke★Forward to Our Sparking Youth! (vndb.org). The above character is a semi-generic background character, the unnamed manager at the protagonist's work place. I'm convinced the character artwork is not original to this VN but I can't remember for the life of me where else I've seen it. I went through the list of all other VN's produced by Saga Planet I've played and am still coming up short. He may not necessarily be wearing the same outfit in whatever other source I'm failing to remember.

Can anybody else come up with a source for this character?

So who here remembered to give this year's Thanks Giving Turkey its rightful due this year?

RESPECT THE BIRD!

In the "links" section for ISExKAI MAIDEN - Osawari H as you like in another world, there are no links, just the statement "Switch the game language by editing Setting.ini file in the game folder" which I sincerely doubt was what you meant to put there.

Thanks. Your explanation of "Background Sounds" for "BGS" makes sense.

Anybody else got any decent guesses for "ME"?

5 hours ago, Ivan said:

if you spot one, just use "report post" function, and they will start being picked up by filters eventually.

Will do.

What spam bots ARE getting through seem to be posting in (what I think is) Russian. Can you block posts by language?

If those post AREN'T Russian, my apologies to all Russian speakers.

If those posts are actually real people and not spam bots, again, my apologies, but what are you doing posting here of all places?

The number of volume settings for games seems to be growing beyond the three I'm used to: Music, Sound Effects, and Voice. Now there seem to be a total of four options, and I'm not able to parse all of the acronyms they're using:

BGM

BGS

SE

ME

I'm assuming that "BGM" is "BackGround Music" and "SE" is "Sound Effects", but I can't figure out what the other two are supposed to be. Does anybody else know?

If you happen to find this VN somewhere, I would appreciate the upload.

Just an idea to slightly cut down on spam bots, lock the "Eroge News" forum section so that only littleshogun can start new threads, though leave us the ability to reply to threads once created. In the normal course of things, littleshogun is the only person who has reason to start new threads there on any sort of regular basis.

For the benefit of anyone who's curious, I THINK the picture at the top of the page comes form the VN "Sousaku Kanojo no Ren'ai Koushiki".

So this is just something I've been curious about. I start the download process on a game I acquired through either Steam or Epic Games. Using Epic Games for this particular example, the download status shows three progress bars, "Download", "Read", and "Write". The "Write" speed is consistently approximately 17 faster than the "Download" speed. Just where is all that data its writing coming from? I don't care how good data compression is, there is no way they are squeezing it down THAT tight.

Just a general FYI: Since you added the most recent round of uploads, or maybe just before, I'm not sure on the fine point of that one, the thumbnail preview images you post in the "Screenshots" tab on each game page are not clearing muster on my anti-virus. It claims they are phishing URLs. The images don't load; in their place, I get file names such as "Lilim-wants-to-Lv-up-10a018eb2587bebf4.th.jpg" which are still clickable links that I presume will take you to full size picture like they used to. (I'm not actually clicking on them until I get conformation from you that no one has manged to hack your site and do something you weren't aware of).
