How many generations of gamers do we have now? Is it around three?

I have just finished Ayu route in Kanon.
All of my colleagues are asking me why for two days I barely spoke anything and what’s up with that thousand mile stare . It’s not like this is something totally new to me I mean Fuko’s route from Clannad is quite similar and I was half expecting that Ayu it the same case. I didn’t cry or anything while she “died” . Instead I realized that ghost are everywhere, watching us carrying for us all. It might sound too cheesy but it is sort of reassuring. I am not alone and I don’t need problems in my life. They are there watching cheering for me. And also I should do something with my life.

I feel really ashamed that I still haven't played YU-NO myself.
From what people say about it, it feels like exactly my type of VN, but I always have something that I want to play a bit more.
Yeah me 2 especially after checking out the screens on vndb. That is the old school anime style I remember from Yatterman when I was just too young to understand anything else than Doronjo getting naked in the middle of every episode. That influenced me

I'm working my way through the Nekopara series so that I can participate in this thread without being spoilered (yeah I'm just paranoid, there's literally nothing to spoil in this series, "Surprise! You fuck all the cats!").
Almost done with Nekopara 3, still gotta do 0 and Extra.
Wanted to mention that here I am finally at the Maple sex scene and I'm suddenly extremely conscious of my actual cat sitting on my leg, watching the game and watching me play the game. I really don't know how to feel about this right now, and I don't think my cat knows either.I think Nekopara is one of those VNs you can enjoy with your cat. ( as long as you don’t get any ideas
)

You see. This is what I like. Vanilla is slowly taking the lead. She is the careful girl. Always following Chocola learning by observation , letting her go first. Those are a perfect duo but Vanila is the smart one waiting for good stuff to happen, taking completely passive attitude. Like a reptile and reptiles ( crocodiles, and turtles are a good example) didn’t change for so long because they were right from the beginning. Vanila is simplicity and perfection.

Just the idea of superpowers through torture. I didn’t want to go into detail and possibly spoil it for someone.

I'll get to it. Eventually. Maybe. It really is good, but
But hory shi look at my collection of otomes I just splurged on, these are all from dev Otomate who made Code Realize which was pretty fun and got me into the genre (naw it's cuz I has a things for female protags)
Oh, and Muv Luv. Finally, right?
NICE HAUL !!!

After reading description on VNDB I decided that it's not for me. Too dark
“Ikumi joins FARGO and uncovers their disturbing nature of harnessing psychic abilities through torture.”
Kinda reminds me of Rewrite

If that's the case, try Season of Sakura, Nocturnal Illusion or YU-NO. (With Season of Sakura, make sure to get DOS version and run it inside DOSBox.) Pixel-art classics.
Whoa !!! Thanx a lot

"One" doesn't look as good as Kanon, but I think I'll enjoy it nevertheless. Art style is similar, but it uses different engine, so for example, sprites don't have any smoothing on them, so the edges are quite pixellated. Also, backgrounds are of poorer quality. Actually, with Kanon they made significant visual progress.
Yeah that’s even better
. Pixelated sprites from past millennia is what I want. IMO the older Key novel is the better it is. I am a connoisseur of them old novels. Those are so different from all the recent stuff. So exotic and uncommon, true gems. I have the impression that old Key novels were crafted while novels like Grisaia ( which I am also currently playing and enjoy, I am at the end of Makina route, some of her lines are pure gold BTW) were manufactured. It might sound crazy but to me Clannad has a soul, and while some scenes are a bit whacky, there is this felling that the whole story might happen IRL, which is amazing, because it might happen to me also. I mean, when I think about my life, it would make a decent VN. ;p

I just started One - we'll see how it turns out.
Thank you guys for bringing up that obscured Key novel I somehow didn’t know about. Being a huge fan of whatever Key made it made me happy to know there is one more for me to read. I am in the middle of Kannon ( finished Nayuki Shioro and Makoto routes). I must admit that I really like the artwork there. It is unique and brings instant nostalgia that goes so well with the story.

Hi there. It’s been a while since my last post here, on fuwa forums. So my summer started somewhat in March when I quit my job. Some of you may know or remember I was working as a ships engineer. I realized that staying for 4-6 months on board is just not to good for mental health and my terrible social skills. So just like that I refused to work for couple of months basically doing nothing. Sleeping until 1500 and eating nothing but delivered pizza became my daily routine. I’ve started several vns ( AIR, Kannon, SubaHibi, Wagamama Hi Spec, Hatofull and couple others) never finished any of those. Shame on me. Probably smoked a ton of weed (huhuhuhuhu).
So that was my summer until the moment when I got a random job offer and became an engineer on a luxurious yacht. So basically I am enjoying myself on a yacht in Cote d’Azur not doing much and getting paid. Wtf?! How did this happen to me. ;p

On one hand, comedy and loveable characters makes me smile (and I need reasons to laugh). Ditto for well written dialogue. On the other hand, dark suspenseful stories, plot twists, and tearjerker scenes are unforgettable for me, and I like that as well.
Sounds contradictory. But dark and serious makes the comedy stand out more. And vice versa.
This. And I am a sucker for nakige too ;p.
I am currently playing Wagamama. The thing is I am completely aware of what kind of game it is. But still I like it.
Moege is my thing. It’s simple funny, eye candy. All the serious plot games just bore me. No offence anyone but if I want good plot I usually read a book. I don’t want to depreciate vn as a medium but this is how it works for me.
And after serious marathon of moege I do fell more cheerful.

I joined. I liked SD a lot for it creazines and the fact that all that happens there has a fell that it could happen irl. It was a while since last time I played but I know when the mood is right I will start playing it again. There are still so many endings left
. I was about halfway through when I just had enough of this game and couldn’t stand it anymore. It’s just freakishly long

Similar to NotAce. I gradually got myself into deeper levels of webbenes. It all started with classic animes like Ghost in the Shell, Appleseed, Cowboy Beebop, even Yatterman ( my first anime btw. While other kids were watching Cartoon Network or FoxKids my parents thought those were bad influence so they didn’t instal cable tv in our house. The Yatterman was aired on some local channel we had. It has influenced me in some way lol if you know what I mean ;p)
Later I got myself to mangas can’t say how many I read. Hundreds ??
Then there was a break. For reasons unknown I just stoped.
Then 2-3 years ago I stumbled upon Neptunia game on some minor torrents site. That was a game changer. It was the first game that I obtained illegally but bought it later cause it was so good.
Now it is VN era of my life. I enjoy them as something to balance my everyday load of worries stresses and such. I guess that explains my taste in vn’s which is comedy slice, of life everything that is light.
But I wonder, if my webbenes is to progress what will be next ? Actually creating stuff maybe ? I had it on my mind for a while but I just don’t have time for that. It is a hard choice between pursuing career or doing something enjoyable that will bring little to no income. Oh god I sound old.
btw sorry for not participating in forums but I just have so little time to spare. Today is first day in many that I can do nothing but laze. At the moment I am laying on lawn in the backyard of my parents house just relaxing. The weather is really nice and there is this beautiful tree blooming next to me

Well THAT ofc...

Why would I even insult you....NERD!

@Andromis
Roadside picnic is an awesome book. Back in the days I had a habit of reading every book by the author I liked. Picnic is the best of Stugacki’s . The rest of their work is a bit propaganda influenced.
It always was bit strange to me that all the harsh Stalker concept came from that book. All that tough guys wearing gas masks and fighting mutants scavenging for everything , while the original Stalker is more like a Riko Reg and Nanachi from Made in abyss. That is just my impression. Well they also do all of the survival thing but you know...

More like, in this sense.
And don't worry, you won't say that you're the same with her after finishing her route. No spoiling though.
Yeah don't spoil me my Michiru Fuwa people!!!!
6 minutes ago, Thyndd said:As long as you manage to convey what you have in your mind, I think it should be unique enough, since there are probably not to people in this world who share the exact same view on the topic. There are so, so many ways to go about AI... Even stories that explore the same points do it in a totally different way, that's why I don't ever get tired of it. I sure would like to read what you have to offer
Oh yes yes yes ...... and no. Now I cant decide keep writing or Michiru.

I would like to meet you in person in that case.
Ok you made me curious. I have to wake up at inhumane 5 am tomorrow but I will finish Michiru's route today, or fall asleep trying.
If it's platonic I am ok with it. My nick can be deceiving but I have a dick, still wanna meet?

Ok, thanks, I got it to work. It seems the link gyazo provided me was not actually a direct link and I had to get it directly from my browser.
EDIT:
Well, I finished Lucy - the eternity she wished for. I felt like binge-reading a short VN in a weekend and it sure was quite a ride.
As I've already said before, I love stories with the main focus on AI. I feel like there's just a whole lot to explore and many different approaches to go about it.
For one, it's a brilliant way to reflect on what we truly are, or what's our identity, as the story presents it. For all we know, whatever gives birth to our conciousness must be encompassed in the electrochemical processes going on in our brains, who are subjected to the same laws of physics as everything else in our universe.
That much we may know, but even so, I don't think any human being would not run into conflicting thoughts and feelings if they were put in front of a AI that supposedly could feel and experience the same way we do. It's already difficult enough to come to terms with the fact that everyone, every human, experiences things the same way. How could you tell for sure? Let alone something like an AI which was made to emulate a human being. How fine is the line dividing emulation (imitation?) from the real deal? In science there's this kind of non-written rule that says as follows: "If two things are impossible to tell apart, more often than not they are the same thing". So, is there even a line? Intuiton tells us there must be, while logic tells us otherwise. And we already know that our intuiton is not always the way to go in understanding fundamentals in the universe. But still, given that we don't really know how conciousness works, everyone would feel suspicious in the hypothethical of meeting such and advanced AI. I would not trust my ability to recognize if I'm in front of something that I could consider "human", whatever that means (which would probably be a continuum ranking from, say, a rock to myself, because yeah, to yourself you are always the prototypical "human"), or something that's tricking me into thinking that it's human. Notice that in this case it's not that "they are impossible to tell apart", but rather that I don't have enough confidence in my ability to do so. Two very different things. This surely can be quite a good fodder for a story, don't you think? Thus being what I consider the second strong point of AI themed stories.
And then we have the other perspective, the human one. So far we were thinking about whether an AI could perceive and feel things like us, and therefore we were asking ourselves if it's possible, like in Lucy, that an AI could truly love you. But, to be honest, for a human being once they have overcomed all those conflicting feelings, it doesn't matter anymore. Love and affection is, in spite of what's generally thought, a one-way feeling. A human being can perfectly love and be satisfied loving without being loved in return.
There's also another possible topic that wasn't brought up in this particular story, but I believe it could be really interesting. In the context of human-like AI emerging in our society, I think a lot of moral and ethical dilemmas would pop up. Think about it, they would be no longer machines without free will nor ability to think by themselves. Using them as tools as personal property would be the equivalent to slavery. AI rights would have to be granted the same way human and animal rights exist, and this would imply a profound change in our vision of life and morality itself in our society.
But you know what's the best of all? That this might in fact happen in our reality. We won't probably see it though... but yeah.
This post was a lengthy read I see clearly how much you got impressed by the game.
My view on AI is to be as liberal as possible. Even if it leads to human getting replaced by synths. Tbh as I mentioned in some of my posts I actually am writing a book that is set up in a world where something similar happens. But unlike the most of the books about AI taking over, mine does not put machines in bad light. It’s more like the AI’s are taking over because we fucked up. They are children from pathological family who turned out ok and took care of the old parents and the rest of the family. Don’t know is it a new approach to AI ? Sure hope so I wouldn’t like to write a book that’s based on old ideas. ( Encouragement, guys please
I could use some of that the whole writing thing turned out to be quite difficult )
Btw I am playing Fruit of Grisaia now I am currently at 3rd choice. So far the story managed to frighten me more than anything else I played. The amount of similarities between real life me and Michiru gives me goosebumps.

Luckily enough, I play my VNs on a laptop....so, if my brother or my mother have something to do in my room, I simply umplug the charging cable of my laptop and get the hell outta my room.
But hey...you can always try the "high-volume heavy metal music trick"! This one often works...Envy you there, to truly enjoy a vn I need complete immersion. Alien (brother) presence is always killing the mood plus it seems i must be paranoid and afraid of being misunderstood by a person who will see me frozen by sheer terror , of getting caught, with limping dick in my hand. I imagine saying “ i-i-i it’s just a hobby of mine” just wouldn’t do the trick.
Loud music - worth trying
tho thanx for suggestion

You won't need to do anything after that.
Surprisingly I don’t consider it a bad idea.
I’d scare everyone and have all the time to enjoy vn’s. That’s just simple and genius thank you Dreamy. Did you consider starting your original topic where peeps will ask you for guidance.

Can anyone recommand me a window tablet for playing vn?

I have Microsoft surface go. It is the cheapest of the family plus it is a graphic tablet. Good for the moments whenever you feel bored with the usual stuff, and want to create your own... (lol)
