My first visual novel was Umineko no Naku koro ni. I started reading it because the girl I liked was reading it (lol) and because I was really into Higurashi when it was airing. ...Then Umineko took over my life, whoops! Though I'd always had this weird interest in eroge. It started when I was 11 or 12 and was part of roleplaying communities where we used anime style CGs, so I found out about titles through the art I'd use. At the time my computer only had like 2GB of storage (?!) so I could never download games, and then for years I never tried anything on my Mac. So instead I just LOOKED at a lot of games and retained a lot of knowledge about various titles without actually playing them myself?? But once I had Umineko running, I suddenly felt motivation to try and get games running on my Macbook. So here we are. My first eroge was Shuffle! purely because it was the first eroge I'd heard of years ago and I, for some reason, felt like if I ever started playing eroge, it'd have to be my first one. Wasn't really worth it tbh.

I don't particularly like H scenes. They make me kind of uncomfortable since I'm not very much into the moe ugu crying that anime girls and JAV stars do, so I don't read them very actively. But I had this conversation with my girlfriend and we both agreed that while we don't play for the porn, it somehow feels empty if there isn't porn. The medium allows for H scenes so if there aren't any, somehow it feels like a copout even though we don't care about the porn itself... Does that make sense? She said it feels like getting canon smutfic for a pairing you like, and I really liked that description lol. It really is just a type of bonus, I think.

I got my old PC working so I'm playing Hoshimemo now :3c

Ah, thank you all for the welcomes! And thanks for all of that, Nayleen! Really helpful ; w;

Hi, I've been lurking for a while so I finally made an account hehe. I'm Wendy!! I'm... new to eroge... sort of?? I know a lot about various series but I only started playing them over the past month. Right now I'm playing Osadai :3c Like I just said up^ there^ I'm new to galge, but Umineko no Naku koro ni is basically my entire life so I'm not necessarily new to visual novels in general... haha....... yeah................ So yeah hey tell me what's good and stuff (I have a mac and like 70% of the games I try to run on wine don't end up cooperating but I'm gonna get a PC soon so I'll take any recommendations for the near future!!!)
