Is anyone here familiar with this manga site? Is there a way to download manga you have purchased?

https://comic.k-manga.jp/

personally don't use this one, but a lot of these manga reader sites have very persnickety drm (I believe fanza has it's own file format for example), if there's no obvious download option then so you'd probably have to use some sort of scrapper to get things off it. Inspect element and finding the img source might also work, but very time consuming as you'd have to do it for each page.

>>3mvlankghdc2c
in some cases there's decrypting scripts floating around for their file formats but I don't know if anyone's bothered to make the same for other sites. People tend to only make them for reader sites that handle R18 stuff.

did you try gallery-dl? it doesnt support all sites but it can undo the drm ghosts-san is talking about. sometimes

there's a plugin on firefox and chrome called right click borescope that's good for this

I appreciate the thought out responses, I was definitely reading things that weren't in the posts into them because of my own past experiences, we agree much more than I initially thought, sorry about the confrontational attitude.
Shoutout to nuance fr, I think I just felt a knee-jerk reaction to defend the cringe-kids cuz I was similar myself when I was younger, and I try to push back on my own feelings of rejection of the younger generation because of that. It definitely does make sense for marketing in a post-TikTok world to have these bite sized rough ideas to communicate ideas as quickly as possible, but I agree that we're worse off for it.

File: steamwebhelper_Apyfpw9OUw.png (756 kB, 839x1194)

i worked in marketing for a bit, and this is maybe the most extreme example of something i've seen people call aesthetic affiliation. by listing a bunch of subcultural labels i.e. "traumacore", pastel gore, and so on - the game markets itself directly to people who identify with those labels. a lot of larger indie games use this strategy because word of mouth is the cheapest form of marketing, and building a community around a recognisable aesthetic is both inexpensive and effective, whether or not the person doing it fully understands the strategy themselves.

this is an unusually concentrated and clumsy example. it seems more concerned with repeatedly validating the reader’s than appealing to anyone outside its intended subculture, although i can respect that commitment to an extent. search visibility is unfortunately extremely important on the modern internet, including steam, and the developer is clearly trying to fill the description with recognisable terms that might improve discoverability. they’re just integrating them very poorly. i'm not fond of this strategy at all and much prefer the tried and true method recent games like "beastfolk barber" implement

>>3muralus42k2z
You've pretty much articulated the first par of what I was gonna say but in much smarter words

It's also realistically the 'capitalism doesn't give people time to think' so going off of those markers is easier than examining the page and reviews to see if you'd like something (at least in theory )

And of course inexperience in the marketing side from the dev, saying what's cool about a thing without just recounting the whole plot and 50 things that do not matter is hard enough if you didn't make the thing, but the author often has a lot of things floating in their brain that make it hard to imagine what it looks like for the audience on a first impression

ive seen friends enjoying this game a lot, the type of friends who would usually be uninterested in a game with this presentation
now im more interested than ever on this so im deff going to try it out (´¬`)

> This recording was made in the audience by a friendly local and is an entirely faithful capture of the atmosphere that surrounded Tenniscoats during this time. You can literally hear the audience becoming completely entranced by Saya and Ueno’s performance. I was honoured to play alongside them for this show. It’s not something I talk about much, but my first life in music was as a drummer and a flicker of that life is captured here

"heathen earth" is my favorite throbbing gristle release, not quite as gritty and nightmarish as second annual, and not quite as austere and quirky as jazz-funk, it manages this middle ground that truly feels oneiric and surreal, no other gristle album feels to me as specific to the internet age's twilight than this one

tkmiz's previous releases, girls last tour and shimeji simulation both followed a small core cast of characters for the entire time. as the title and opening illustration suggest, we're going to see different aspects of the megastructure in each chapter. i really did like the two in the first chapter but i don't think we'll see them again

File: CannedUniverse.png (123 kB, 516x244)

I really enjoyed what has been published so far.
I've never been assigned to a submarine, but I have been assigned to a very small DDG during my time in the Navy, and it struck me as very well crafted. I can tell when an Author has researched their work very well by how it matches with my lived experiences, sometimes.

Girls' Last Tour was excellent, and I'm wondering what sort of very human and very empathetic pains will emerge from a tale fundamentally concerned with a culmination to war.

These days, it feels tragically relevant.
Anyways, I am going to be thinking about Canned Universe for a long time.

hihi! ive been trying to find for a couple days a game that feels like a very specific kinda movie ... idk if it exists! i just rly want something that feels kinda slow and echoey and mumbley. i just rly want something that has that feeling and is in a big city - like its hard for me to get excited for something like deltarune because i dont live in a small town, yknow? i want something that feels like where i live! hope thats not too silly

none of these are exactly it, but the games that get kinda close that ive found are : demonschool, yiik, deltarune (ofc), london seirei tanteidan, labyrinth.os, kowloons gate, knuckle sandwich, twewy? i think this game might not exist lol but i figure i should ask. thanks!

One of the things I find myself really concerned with (and I don't have an outlet for my hyperfixation often) is really beautiful anime scenery.

I really like environments and structures; I hope you'll share some settings and places you like with me. I'm probably going to turn my phone upside-down and shake until my folder feels lighter.

Affectionately dogshit, bad at having reasonable normal person mechanics, clunky, not good, or just full of baffling decisions, what's yours "well it's Objectively Not Good but,"

Sincere enjoyment, ironic enjoyment, "please let me out of here" and "this is more of a fidget toy than a video game" all count

the creatures 1-3 games rock conceptually whilst having a Fundamental lack of understanding of what makes a bundle of disparate systems a "game" and unfortunately they've made my gaming tastes include a genre that doesn't really exist as its cornerstone and also not good

File: milya.jpg (105 kB, 912x720)

Milya[broken] by lol_rust is a game I sincerely enjoy very much, despite it being clunky and having lots of strange, counterintuitive gameplay throughout.

One of the biggest draws for me is the titular Milya herself, who's probably the single most relatable character I've found in any game to date; but honestly, I've taken a ton of inspiration from the design and aesthetic of the game for my own works, too~

To be sure, objectively speaking, it's an opaque, obtuse, and generally inscrutable game. It took me multiple playthroughs to decipher it in full, even with how powerfully it resonated with me from the start. And naturally, it's entirely reasonable to want to criticize it for its unapproachability—but when you take the entirety of the game and its fundamental premise into consideration, it becomes clear that these design decisions were all deliberate, forcing the player to interact with the game in a specific kind of way in order to create a very particular experience~

Now, whether most players would think said experience is worth having, and whether it's worth trudging through the maze-like design of the game and its narrative for it, is another question entirely, heh. But I absolutely adore it, and I wish more people would give it a chance and stick with it to the end~
