Well, maybe it's just a small part of today's consumerism where you always need the latest and best, regardless of whether you actually need it. If employers fall for this, well, then they certainly aren't the smartest ones when it comes to financials...which wouldn't be ideal. Don't think I've played any in a decently long time either. I mean, I started in 2006, so the current trend (of more translated VNs) doesn't really have anything to do with me and doesn't make me more interested. But, like you, I prefer VNs with gameplay elements which is part of the reason I like Alicesoft. With that download from the Tokugawa forum, it's the same for me. But well, it's not easily accessible like that, of course. Also on that board was a PC-98 database IIRC where some games have four (at most) pictures showing. Too bad it isn't fully fleshed out. Hm, I would guess there is a way. The main issue is finding that bit of information.

Yep, foresight isn't exactly society's strong point. Safety measures for ships happened in the same way. Another issue is that punishments are usually pretty light. Companies have to pay some money and that's it. Granted, not in all industries they could do things that have more bite but the tech one is certainly one where it would work since even replacing a company is relatively simple. The aviation industry is basically a duopoly, so you can't just punish Boing/Airbus severely, especially also because it's a highly specialized one where the costs are astronomically high. Hehe. With the shrinking population, we won't need that much land anyway :P It will be pretty unfun for all of the coastal cities though.

You should still be hearing them when they are moving. When they are slow, I think they are supposed to emit some kind of noise for bikers/pedestrians. I guess you could say that Jobs was able to make and present a package (he wasn't an inventor, like you said) while Musk can just present a package? Then again, how much work did the media do for Apple back then and how much does it for Tesla/Musk these days? Tough to say, I didn't follow tech articles and such back in 2006 or even just 2010. I started some years ago. Depends. You can also drive the market by "speculating"...so you basically go beyond that and force the market to do what you want. Of course, usually you are in cahoots with some other people, unless you are either extremely smart or have a lot of money. Nope, international to Germany is always DHL. If it's domestic, the carrier is different a lot of the times. Anyway, it finally moved again, after over 48 hours. Looks like they just forgot my package somewhere since it continued in the same city where it started.

Yeah, I looked into a lot of old websites as well but nothing concrete unfortunately. By the way, that Yoru ga Kuru! item that was already sold on Mercari might the one that is being sold on YA for 10k. After all, people want to make a lot of bank. Too bad for the seller that no one is biting, hehe. It depends, I guess. Regarding Alicesoft, I would probably like a lot of goodies, with the exception of those Tsumamigui and the likes games. Alicesoft mail order still has some nice goodies but looks like they are moving away from their official shop? There was an update today from that shop and they removed the "back up mid October" and spoke about some things. Hm, will be interesting to see. Still want to see what I can buy on their official store though and still need Choukou Shinki Ixseal too. But yeah, some garbage Twitter stuff is, of course, uninteresting. Physical goods or bust, hehe. Those B2 posters can be nice, I think. Got one for a game I got from YA and the quality of the material is really good. It had a "clothy" feel to it even. Tear in the shrinkwrap = useless. I have enough of those already where I will need to rebuy that game. Also, you forget the forwarding fee, the international shipping and the import tax. That all adds up.

They allow guests to edit? Hm. They usually display the new physical price there but for this game, it's different, for some reason. Well, guess I can do it now, if it works.
