the YAL is def over and I'm just the dickensian orphan peering into the raverly page for shawl, viewing all the finished projects like. when will it be my turn

sam why not join the musical MKAL? its also 4 colors! you dont understand. I have been in love with achievement badge since I laid eyes on it. however I was not interested in paying several hundred dollars for pre selected yarn colors I wasn't going to use and had 0 interest in the other patterns

i am not here to be convinced that v3 was good actually. i dont know you, you can interpret the game however you want.

i have to play this game purely because i dont want uchikoshi to be bankrupt because of it but i do not think this game is going to be good and everyone planning on investing their time in it, enjoy the next 4-5 years of your life ig

also i think its bold to say all these endings have to be substantial and matter coming from the guy who couldnt bother to write an actual throughline for v3 because it was so player hostile that you were never meant to find any meaning in the story because its all a ruse to waste. your. time.

vlr has roughly 18~ endings and about half of them are one choice away from a real ending. aisf has 5 major endings. both of these experiences are roughly 35-50 hours depending on how completionist you are.

this game having 99 endings would mean it is the stupidest investment of time ever

also, he famously lied during a lot of marketing for the game to hide the "twists" which led to a false perception of what the game was going to be. also even if theyre are 99 fucking endings thats asinine and i sincerely doubt theyre all "substantial endings" because theres no fucking way

999 i will still heartly recommend to puzzle nerds, especially the pc/ps4 port with added flow chart and voice over. if one because junpei in it is like, my favorite new va in years. but for vlr unless youre like, /really/ into puzzles its a lot to go through. terrible game to stream blind for sure

my big thing is at some point here im finally gonna play zero time dilemma, which even though i got that game at time of launch (gifted) ive never touched it, just know it has mixed opinions. i kinda hope i like it more than most people? in that i at least dont love vlr on a replay

to elaborate aisf takes game construction concepts from this in a more player-friendly way. the tone of this game is way harsher to me now, probably bc of things ive played like v3.

i really enjoy the secret ending though. and id say if you care about story this game doesnt really. end without it

so after finishing my replay of the torture cube with four walls (virtues last reward) 10 years later, here are some key takeaways
- cool ideas
-if you have more than 10 endings in your game you should stop
-bonus ending is not really optional, cheat if you need to
-i cant play this post aisf or v3

also i got one of dilucs anecdotes first and im so easy to please. yes i do want to see diluc confirm he cares about his reputation with his customer base and drink cider with him. im a simple person

I'm living like a hibernating plant. Safe in my bulb within the earth, darkness all around me, crushed by pressure on all sides waiting and waiting and waiting for a spring that might never come

(This one's about how the deep societal depression and existential dread means I can't get there with fan activities like I used to, leaving me bitter and friendless!!!!)

Can't blorbo post my way outta this one! Goodbye online friends I'm not fun anymore!!!!

Tired of feeling like there's nothing to live for. That I always make the wrong choices. That I will never pass life milestones like marriage or home ownership or family. Or having any sense of purpose
