Umineko is first and foremost a tale about how the public view on a tragic event can hide one own's feelings, which I think is more important than an objective truth.
The plot about Yasu is secondary to me. I read Umineko expecting something like Higurashi, but I found something different. Basically a deconstruction of Higurashi and the mystery genre too.
I'm glad I read it.😅

More like the game that solidified their game style.  While their last seven games all seem different on the surface, they are essentially similar in concept.  Create a situation that is full of open or hidden despair and disaster, make it go bang, then bring on the feels.  Mirai Nostalgia, which came before it, was also like this, if to a lesser degree, but it was more of an experimental than a clearly delineated style template at the time.  Hapymaher has the benefit of the best and most unique soundtrack the company has ever produced, combined with near-perfect music direction.  This enhances a plot that is at times somewhat scatterbrained due to its nature (a dream) and turns it into a kamige. 
The ones that stand out, to me, are Aoi Tori, Amatsutsumi, and Realive, all three of which are more feels-oriented than Chrono Clock or Shiawase Kazoku-bu (which is also good).  These three are helped by having excellent casts of characters and great writing but are hindered by abuse of the ladder-style story structure.  In addition, for some reason Purple Software went for near-generic soundtracks after Hapymaher, a choice I think was a terrible mistake, given the degree to which Hapymaher's atmosphere is defined by its music and music direction (though its VA choices are godly too).
The lack of Morisaki Ryouto and the tendency to split the tasks between multiple writers seems to harm them sometimes, which saddens  me... Morisaki Ryouto is one of the best writers out there, and without him, Purple Soft has developed a tendency to make questionable hiring choices when it comes to its writing staff (why they would hire the writers from Laplacian, I don't understand).  From what I can tell, the two saving graces seem to be that Purple Soft has retained the same BGM composer and Ishikawa Yasushi as the scenario designer and lyrics writer, who seem to work to maintain the same style.

You got balls of steel bro. I wouldn't talk about eroge in public.

I don't own the site but I do write for it. I guess that makes it "my" blog, in a sense?
Uhm, let's see. I don't own a NSwitch, let alone the Ace Attorney games on NSwitch so it's difficult to comment on that but... I feel that playing on a smaller screen might make for a more personal experience, y'know? I'm saying this because I personally grew up on handhelds - from GBC to GBA, then NDS, and finally the 3DS. It's probably a similar experience to play it on portable mode, but I can't really imagine how it'd be like to play AA on a big TV screen, haha.
Also, NSwitch uses touchpad instead of the stylus, right? Seems not as wieldy. With that being said, I played one of my favorite AA games on an emulator. So in the end, I don't think it really matters that much.

Notting is hotter than having another man cum inside you're waif.

Who'd think the makers of Hanamaru also did Inyouchuu lol

A 'coworker?'  Well, really a subcontractor I introduced to VNs about a year ago... He isn't particularly brilliant (if anything, he's on the downward side of human intelligence), but he's been a bookworm as long as I've known him (about twelve years now?). I gave him a copy of Dies Irae and he managed to finish it in about forty hours (the English version).  He was also able to have a decent conversation on the events that occurred and seemed to grasp most of the twists.  Part of that comes from him being a fiction specialist normally, but it is also proof of concept.  He did miss some things, but then, very few people grasp every single nuance of what happens in that game the first time around (I certainly didn't).
 
 

I like it bro

87 vs 32 ... I still wish I saw this earlier, would save some time on summaries.

Reborn as a censored goat in another world.

On average, the estimated time to delivery (ETD) is 255 days.
On average, the actual time to delivery (ATD) for companies that already delivered is 633 days.
On average, the tardiness in delivery (tdd) for companies that already delivered is 401 days.
The slowest company (taking into account realized deliveries) is Frontwing, with an ATD of 716 days and tdd of 532 days. Despite this, their ETD is 150 days, with games from 2016 and 2017 yet to be delivered. Optimistic much?
I was bored, so here's a pie chart...

 

It was obviously done by someone who is either a literalist or is Japanese.  The reason I say this is because many of the word choices are odd and the grammar's awkwardness speaks to the fact that the person in question was trying to align the rhythm of the lines with the original Japanese ones in a lot of cases.  This is a stumbling block a lot of translators never get past, because they fail to realize that the differences in grammar make some rearrangement necessary.  This is a stumbling block that is, ironically, born of a decent or good understanding of Japanese.

Conjueror gave it a bad review, so no thank you. 

I think there's some kind of subliminal message to this list, but I can't quite catch it... 
 
 
PS Go translate it now, I promise to read it when you're done. 

Yes, I did. 
Edit: To clarify, nitpicking counts as a personal attack.  Once I'll tolerate as an honest question or pointing out something that irritates you.  I won't tolerate it twice in the same blog post on the same matter.
