Alright, sick. I kinda knew the guys who made Saya no Uta (haven't played) would get recommended if I asked but this is a good sign to actually finally check them out x)

Umineko no Naku Koro ni was kind of life-changing for me, and I don't say that lightly. It was a very rough read sometimes, because it could get a lot darker than I am used to, but that darkness was a canvas that made the most beautiful parts of the story really shine. By the end of playing it there were things I thought about differently in life. You might not have the same kind of experience, but I'd highly recommend it. It is a long-haul though that takes about 200 hours to play. It's by the same guy as Higurashi.

Get the version from umineko-project that runs on PC but uses the PS3 graphics.

i played Private Nurse this last week and is really lovely, idk how to review things srry but i find it just old enough to give a nostalgic feeling without looking ancient, and da music is like listeing to a dream. some scenes and lines of the game keep appearing in my mind just randomly during the day like my mind wants to keep re-living it. so i beg anyone who has time (its not 2 long) to play it cuz i believe its worth it n i dont hear it being talked abt much

>>2669
everything said here is so true

I find my own feelings on Umineko articulated by Arthur Schopenhauer:

“There are two kinds of writers: those who write for the sake of the subject and those who write for the sake of writing. The former have had thoughts or experiences that seem to them worthy of communicating; the latter need money and that is why they write, for money. They think for the purpose of writing. We will recognize them by the fact that they spin out their thoughts as long as possible and also elaborate half-true, crooked, forced and vacillating thoughts, and usually favour the twilight in order to appear as something they are not, which is why their writing lacks definiteness and full clarity. […] As soon as we notice it, we should throw the book away, for time is precious. At bottom, however, an author cheats his reader as soon as he writes in order to fill up paper, because he alleges that he writes because he has something to communicate.

[…] They vacillate between striving to communicate and to conceal their thoughts. They would like to trim their thoughts in such a way that they acquire a scholarly or profound appearance, so that people will think there is much more to them than meets the eye. Accordingly they dash it off in fragments, in brief, ambiguous and paradoxical utterances which seem to signify much more than they actually say (magnificent examples of this kind are provided by Schelling's writings in natural philosophy); or they present their thoughts in a torrent of words, with the most unbearable prolixity, as if who knows what miraculous preparation might be needed to render their meaning intelligible - whereas it is quite a simple insight, or even worse a mere triviality.”

It's been a while but I already finished almost all of the Nekopara games (I still need to play after).
Also played "Looking up I see only a Ceiling", SugarKiss, daydream, both Planetarian, Z.A.T.O and finished Karakara 2 a couple of days ago.

I still don't know what I will be reading next but I'm choosing between
>Symphonic Rain
>Chaos;Head
>Needy Streamer Overload
>GoGo Nippon

Also happy new year to every sushi!

mhm! my fren showed me the trailer way back and i've been watching it since.

i enjoy a lot of tactics games that masquerade as puzzle games, or… maybe it's puzzle games that masquerade as tactics games www!

That's what you do though – you create a server or a social media account or a guild or whatever and you keep advertising it everywhere until you have enough people who agree with you. Yeah it's tedious and frustrating and you'll get a bunch of people who show up just to mock you, but there's not much of a better way to find people. You don't need 20 million followers. A core of somewhere around 5 to 20 people is about right. That's what a normal community is.

>>2649
That's basically what I meant by usurping an existing community.

>>2652
>>2651
>>2652 (Me)
in all seriousness though, "making a community" is difficult when the kinda thing i look for is more nebulous than just "is a fan of X" or "likes Y games", i dont even think i want to create a clique, at least out of randoms online, because it kind of creates this atmosphere where where normalfigs will still dominate regardless, like, theres small, safe amounts of normalcy, and itd be plain rude if you just rejected them for that, since everyone's a little normal, but then it starts creeping in more and more inevitably, through sheer phenomena and abundance rather than any individual person's fault, and it just creates another atmosphere that you dont really feel welcome in anymore. for example, some of the games/manga i like are notoriously lewd or spooky or both, and yet whenever i try to find a server or multiplayer game for it, the communities are usually very safe and even the ones based in series that are extremely blatant with how creatively unhinged they are, shameless creator and all, they tend to actively fear ever getting into or discussing the more non normalfig safe topics, and will even forbid it in most cases despite it being a central part of the series' appeal and writing, to the point it doesnt even feel like a fanclub and more like just another place for normals to talk about hype moments and aura or whatever
i know its mostly a matter of me just properly moderating the community i create, but, like, in spite of that, its still going to be incredibly difficult to actually pass around, especially considering how dangerous big public spaces online can be, so i think i'll need to look for better alternatives than making a discord server (i know discord is lame but its the only option that isnt dead and broken)
i could try only inviting people from imageboards but i feel like thatd only work if ive already harbored a community in an imageboard before doing so, in which i have, and attempted, and failed (especially considering despite our similarities im ultimately pretty different from the most of them)
so now i explore many different imageboards trying to find something more, (which is why i am here to begin with), but again, not Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

Where does something like Minecraft fit into your framework, OP?

So far I know nothing, the best I think you can do is to just join a random multiplayer lobby and try to contain the pain toxic people has… and in my experience of playing multiplayer games, people are either limited in their languages or just silent because no one else talks.

Also, I have the same problem as you too. I still can't figure it out.

Dug around a bit from what I remembered being things:
Singleplayer:
- Shenzhen IO (ASM)
- TIS-100 (ASM)

Multiplayer:
- Hackmud
- Screeps (Multiplayer focused, but can be played alone)

Beware, MP ones are VERY not comfy according to user reviews. People who played both of these games fell victim to the fun vacuum of "script cartels" and people who had way too much industry experience caring way too much about the game. I'm still thinking about getting into Screeps just for the SP side and pseudo-JS.

The singleplayer ones are available DRM-free via GOG but the latter two are on Steam.

This is really more about reverse engineering than actual programming.

I really like this one, well, from a viewer's perspective lol. I haven't really invested enough to write a decent warrior, but I really like the whole idea behind this game.

Oh, I didn't see this thread and I made one just for the game I found.

This is the game
http://realtimebattle.sourceforge.net/

The objective is program a robot and let it fight in an arena.

The interaction with the program it's relatively easy, the real difficulty is on the strategy you use to defeat your opponents!

We are thinking, with a sushi on the irc, to make a tournament or something and maybe streaming it if we get some ppl to join and made their own robots.

Here is the other thread (https://sushigirl.us/arcade/res/363.html)

>I really like this one, well, from a viewer's perspective lol
CW is so awesome but just as you I haven't invested myself in writing a warrior. The idea is great though, and the theory is very interesting

Graphics are important too.

Player DARKMAUS ~ a top-down indie game where you control a mouse fighter in a spooky environment. Twas a fun souls-like game.

Warframe & War Thunder are still free to play?

i've probably spent like $1000 on war thunder. don't do it….

It all depends on why you got it in the first place!
Do you want to be a cute anime girl and just hang out with people while exploring worls and playing casual games? VRChat is the game for you.
If your interests lie somewhere else, just list them and I will try to point you in the right direction.

If I had a VR headset, I think I'd just play Skyrim and only Skyrim for the rest of my life, probably.

I wish JanusVR (I know it's not technically that type of VR) was still a thing, or at least usable.

I don't live in the EU and online multiplayer ruined gaming but games as a service sounds pretty horrible. I doubt the government will do anything about it. Those morons practically worship corporations. Best you can do is never buy these games in the first place.

>>2177
Doesn't right to repair include this somehow? I know battlefield 2 exists solely as a community effort ever since gamespy closed down. The only thing I remember EA shutting down were the links to free downloads of the game itself.

I'm a hypocrite in a sense but I just avoid games like that because I often don't have a good enough internet connection for games. I do play genshin though

Games that ONLY work when there's an internet online should be illegal.

These companies dont really want to pay for servers anyway they just dont know what else to do so why doesnt someone just make a technical solution? A standard for decentralized servers that all games can share on that network.

>>2557 I used to have that DSi as a child but I traded it in ;_;

Love how crunchy the soundcards on these were. They were perfectly complex enough that it wasn't beep boop type noise like from eras prior but still compressed enough to sound like tires on gravel. I miss mine.

I don't see how there is any room for discussion that the PSP GO is the coolest shit ever.

I hope you're having a great time, OP!

I wanted to play VRChat too, but some kid called me ugly, and I decided not to return to VRChat until I'm good enough with Blender to make my own pretty model, or I get a job and can hire someone to make one for me (neither of which has yet to happen). I do still want to play VRChat though, just not yet. I want to be pretty :(

I do still want to try it though, and hopefully, with a prettier model, make some friends, and maybe even attend raves!

>>2624

>I hope you're having a great time, OP!

Thanks sushi!

What avatar were you using when this kid called you ugly? I think you could get something nice for very cheap, or even for free if you don't mind spending 2 hours hopping through worlds

Oh, and another question, are on PCVR or on a standalone headset?
With the quest and such, you might find it difficult to get into raves (which are really resource intensive)

I wish you well either way sushi

>>2625
I think I was using some kind of preset avatar. I did find a nice avatar I would like to use. It was made by the guy responsible for the art style of "Spiral Knights"! I don't know if you've heard of that game, but I love its art style.

I would use PC VR for raves, yeah.

>>2631

I saw some of the art from Spiral Knights and I like the artsyle; real cute

Mind sharing a picture of the avatar youre using now?

>>2632
Nope! I'm gonna keep this one to myself! ;)
