Anyone else feel dumb or ignorant when reading sci-fi VNs? Mainly when the characters are explaining something technical in-depth. I just can't pay attention, I get bored. Then I worry if it was crucial to understanding the VN.
yeah i get what you mean. same thing happens to me in movies, when characters start talking about technical shit. i hate that.
We really need to get people to read the golden age of hard science-fiction again. Better yet, get them to understand science and engineering.
Are there any hard science fiction VNs, as opposed to magic called science like I usually see in anime?
>>4Muv-Luv (really) and I/O come to mind. There's also the sci;adv series.
Is it actual deep technical talk, or made-up mumbo jumbo that relies on science being akin to magic.
The prose in VNs is often boring for me, I'm not sure if it's just particularly bland translations or bad young adult tier writing, but I usually give up within the first 50 pages. I ought to try some more though.
>>6Actual deep technical talk, not technobabble. For example when the flooding process is explained in Ever17 or when Sora is explaining that one theory (forgot what it was, it's been a few years) in her route.
Some nautical concepts are explained among the mumbo jumbo, for example you get a rundown on the runs and how buoyancy basically works.
I get the runs when I eat at Taco Bell
>>7Most VNs are poorly translated.
