Thank you, that was brave and kind.

No, not really. While I am not white, I am American through and through. I don't really prefer to be something else. I just think we should fix what we can. Preferably while we can.
The funniest part is DIVI-DEAD was the one that was calling to me the most. Probably because the way you praised it. I figured I would give it a watch to see what's going on with it, and go from there (gotta track these guys down you know?) I think vis-novels are probably the easier of the bunch to get going. Holy jam, Kamidori is set @119 hour playtime? Jesus Christ, that's not a VN, that's War & Peace.
Pumpkin Eater I played once, and have thought of as the grossest VisNovel I have ever read. It's kind of like sad family splatter-punk. It is kinetic however, it's kind of like paying for a show or something. Doesn't bug me, but I do know people are like "Where's the game!?" Speaking of good games (I see you there!) I love those two very much! They capture the frantic joy of flash games to me. Which I think Jars does as well, as long as you're not against grinding in a puzzle game. It's just so cute, a little "spoopy" and has such a fun OST. Right now, I am currently playing Look Outside, which is a RPG Maker game with a lot of love put into it. My most recent play however was Sanitarium which champed it's way through the whole thing on my laptop. I played it with headphones and heard stuff I had never heard before. Was a great game, is a great game. It's Adventure based however, in fact none of these are VisNovs, just spoopy games. They're what's been on my radar as of late.
Roki is such a beautiful game. The controls I feel might have been planned with mobile up-front. It was really an awful system if I remember, which involved clicking, dragging, and then moving to highlight the item you want to use while clicking on it. But it has a wonderful sountrack to match it's fantastic and whimsical design. I liked it, but the controls were still so trash.
I was wondering this very thing. As some fossils were preserved whole, as others were not. I believe though, the whole ones, or even the ones that captured large contiguous chunks of tail could disprove this. Not sure, just was having a guess.
*Not due to soft tissue being found but more so signs of trapped decay of some sort.
I did some hoping, and some seriously long looks at the list. Thank you for these! I was gunna toss you some back if you don't mind. I realized none of them are JP, but they are all vis-novels.

Idk if you would like any of these, but they've all been nice games to "play." Some are less interactive than others.
Oh my god, you guys are killing me.
I don't think it was social media. To be honest with you, this is the worst thing I have ever said. Seriously! I swear to god, it was once the "normies" got on the internet. I think "normies" are socialized to be cruel, and they took that cruelty to the internet. I loved it when it was for the freaks and the geeks. It was the best of the best!
It took my favorite activity (reading) and turned it into a social one. An educational one too! It was amazing. There's still bits out here. I mean look at us. But there's a lot of trash on these sites too. Just filter, enjoy your echo chamber, and be open to people entering it with opposite opinions. In fact, be open to opinions all over the place, even in person. Just saying, I use this as reprieve. I don't need to work myself up, I want to chill and cool down with it.
Oh, that's really cute! I never thought about it, but it'd be a really fun game to play in Japanese. I have met my fair share of games East/West that load up on Proton and then close. I tend to return them, unless I know someone in my family wants to play them as well. I am the only one on Linux, tbh.
*No worries! I play pretty much exclusively pixel/text based games. I am not hurting. I can also emulate consoles, so I figure I am winning. I love desktops though. They're just hard to move, and I like to travel light nowadays.
Idk, because there are games that were Western ports without any Japanese in them. But also I don't really care, because what I want to play are now probably all considered "retro" games and I just emulate them instead. That works fine.
Such a silly name! Hope you love your shots, they're probably great!
