I used a fidget spinner over the weekend. They are kinda cool I guess. I want one that the pros use. Like five pounds and stuff.
So what is it that made that game blow up so hard? VNs have been around forever; is it the Game Grumps? The westernness of it? Daddy culture?
probably all at once

The Game Grumps help
The good art helps
It's also that it's catered towards Gay audiences and Women, compared to other VNs that cater to mostly men.
The westerness helps too

The biggest problem with DDADDS is that only one of them is actually cute. Fucked up.
It says daddy in the title.
I mean they're cute in a daddy sort of way.

It's Game Grumps.
I wonder how many times Patrick will cover his eyes during it.
He might as well cosplay as 2B/9S
Yeah, it's more like you play a role. Maybe that should be the genre title.
how about 'acting games'

The only VN games I've played are the first Pheonix Wright, Nonary games, Steins Gate & Hotel Dusk. All of them were fantastic.

Really loved Another Code as well. Too bad I played through that game in like 3 hours or so. Spending so much pocket money on that felt so bad.
Also that Wii sequel was super weird and I never got into it.

Yakuza is an open world RPG brawler tho.
But the best parts of the game is where you read text in boxes.
maybe all games are just this non-identifiable mishmash paste actually
Soulsbourne?

We'll call it... Choose your own Metroidvania-like.You're also on an adventure. That could work.

Welcome to the 7th-gen onward.
RPG is goddamn worthless term at this point.

Nah. The best parts are when you're watching cool guys do cool stuff without any player input.

Yeah VN games are lengthy as fuck which is why I only play them when there are barely any other games releasing. I myself am not into reading books(unless they're art books or behind the scenes stuff) because sound in general to me just adds so much which is what is great about VN games.
Like the first thing that stood out to me in Pheonix Wright was how amazing the soundtrack is and the game really wouldn't have been as memorable if it wasn't for the score. I've been meaning to play the rest of the Pheonix Wright games but there's just so many and all of them are lengthy, we need another 2014 in terms of games for me to do so.

PW has an amazing soudntrack. Maybe my favourite video game soundtrack of all time.
I've given up on reading fiction years ago. I play games, watch TV series and some movies here and there. That's enough fiction for me. I only read non-fiction.
And lol at that YT video.
one of the things i secretly love in phoenix wright and that a lot of other VNs don't do is screenshake and really crunchy sound effects
it's one of those things which is really not apparent unless you're looking for it but i feel like, if other VNs do it, it doesn't really stand out the way it does in PW to me

They're adventure games, but people tend to lump Japanese adventure games in with visual novels.

The courtroom stuff is like fighting game effects. Cornered playing feels like nailing a Super.

Some of my best friends are PC games
Jesus this Murder Island is close to three hours long.
I feel like they don't make any progress, it's getting a bit frustrating. That feature is really unrewarding. For them and for us.
They should make a rule for like, three attempts with three player rotations or something.

I've made my peace with it. It's something running on TV while I do other stuff or play Splatoon. They don't want to get better, they just want to play the game. That's not that interesting for me but eh.
Mostly I wonder if anything would replace PUBG if they were to stop playing. I'm afraid not.
They should really add a modicum of competency to Murder Island.

Meh. I don't care if they are good or not for real, but they seem frustrated but also don't want to get better. It's the same every week I feel, time for a change.

I assume we'd go back to Jeff's Old Games stream.
