I think I'm more on the reading side of the spectrum, since I wouldn't mind playing a completely linear VN at all and it would be more about the audiovisual experience for me. When it comes to choices, I definitely agree with everyone here in terms of choices that should matter: if the choice...

I grew up listening to J-music via my dad and the rare J-music focused channels and programs we had on TV, and then getting lost on YouTube when I was starting to use the Internet so it's always been something in my rotation (especially J-rock and vkei), but I'll always have a soft spot for...

I'm going to add onto Beannie's post here by listing the games that aren't available on NPS but have threads or posts with working links on here that I could find, alongside where I found them. I can't vouch for whether or not the games will work if you're playing on emulator, but you can at...

So many recommendations, that's awesome! I have some homework to do since I don't think I've played a yuri game (Love Curse and Eclipse are on my wishlist, but I haven't gotten them yet) and I wanna expand my horizons, so it was a good idea to snoop around this thread ww And thank you for...

I genuinely can't hear the difference between audio formats, so I guess that's a testament to me either not having the greatest sound equipment, or simply just having bad ears. Either way, due to that I'd rather just stick to MP3s for myself and maximize my available storage space. If I wanted...

Oh wow, Yumeiro Cast! I remember playing the game back when it was live (my most vivid memory is playing You&Meでwave non stop for some reason LMAO) and then being bitter when it shut down... I think it slipped my mind that it had gotten an offline version in the first place, so reading this...

While I will try gacha games, I can't in good faith recommend them, especially as someone who fell right into their predatory tricks when I was more impressionable. The format itself preys on FOMO, and the games are always at risk of being shut down if one day they don't perform well, meaning...

Oh this is an awesome idea! Unfortunately I come with no drinking game suggestions of my own, but I just wanted to say that I'm still playing through Giulio's route in Lucky Dog 1 and I could feel the alcohol poisoning in my veins just reading that "Gian... san" tidbit LMAO Also I didn't know...

I used to use Goodreads to keep track of books, but at this point I just have a spreadsheet that I use as a book log and change yearly because I grew frustrated with the website and how using it was stressing me out more than anything else. That being said, I don't exactly keep track of my...

I like to take it easy when it comes to game completion in general simply because I'm just doing this for fun, but when it comes to story, I have the need to see every single bit of story the game has to offer to me, so I definitely tend to 100% visual novels. The only time I wouldn't do that is...

My setting adjustments are pretty similar to what a lot of people mentioned here! :D Typically I'll change the text speed to instant, and I'll lower the BGM and SFX while having the voices at maximum volume.

The boring and predictable option (aka what's closest to what I am IRL) would be the MC's gay friend, I suppose. The much funnier option to me would be taking this the isekai route and I get reincarnated into the MC's dad because of how much I tend to joke about being an old man at heart on a...

There was another thread about parody games I remember posting in, so this might end up parroting what I said on there TBH, but I think the fact the cockroach game came out so recently and blew up is a good occasion for me to yap further. I'll say it: I played the cockroach game. All of it. Got...

I'm also part of the motion sickness gang here. I can't even look at my phone for too long if I'm in a bus or the subway, so playing games is kind of a lost cause on my end unfortunately. It'd help me get through so many games though...

I can't listen to anything other than the game I'm playing or else I get super distracted. I can rarely think of times when I found the soundtrack of a game grating to the point of wanting to turn off the music, though at some points I was pretty close (the most recent example I can think of is...
