@badp not always. Lilium x Triangle has a skip but it'll skip regardless if you've read it before or not, same with Amaranto

@RedRiderX well, that was actually one of the craziest stuff I defended as a microsoft fanboy, hence I gave the example of that.

and while not a Visual Novel, Persona 4 Golden. you skip a long part to get to the choice and the skip is still active after you make a new choice

@arda if you liked Little Brother, I recommend Pirate Cinema, and pretty much most of his other stuff, but Pirate Cinema I know is also YA.

I should totally buy this, right?

user15026

For the Win is also YA by him, I think. It's also good.

@Ash Oh right I've actually bought that book but haven't read it yet.

user15026

@RedRiderX It's pretty good.

Oh, @Ash, since you're talking books, the name I pulled for the office Secret Santa is a reader. Any recommendations for what to get her? I honestly have no idea what she's in to though.

@Ash I'm currently reading some cryptography stuff (and oh boy is my brain on fire), but will check that. Thanks.

@MBraedley how do you know she's a reader?

Walkaway, the new novel of Cory Doctorow

@Memor-X She's mentioned it

just in passing.

Give her a signed picture of yourself.

@Ash Thanks

@MBraedley dam, was hoping you'd say that you saw her reading a few books which then i would suggest looking at the authors and see if there is a common author you can look up books for

@MBraedley if you would actually gift it to someone I don't know? Yes, because that would be hilarious.

@Wipqozn Yeah, the limit is like $20

Hmm... That's pretty tricksy.

@MBraedley Buy her 15% of the $300 Apple book

@MBraedley well that rules out my only serious suggestion

@RedRiderX good idea!

I'm thinking maybe this since it's somewhat high on goodreads and John Green recommended it.

@MBraedley I really don't get limits on gifts.

@Wipqozn That would be a good idea, other than the price.

@Memor-X They probably asked around the office.

@MBraedley if they did it was a hell of a lucky guess for Dragonball Z just from me liking anime from other people
