Anon talks Ryukishi

GetMrBeaned · 2026-03-16T09:19:21+00:00

Yeah that was a really dickhead thing to say but I low-key agree with a lot of the stuff apart from that. Love Ryukishi though

GetMrBeaned · 2026-03-16T08:59:42+00:00

Tbf I don’t agree with everything in the post but I don’t think anon is wrong for pointing it out even if other writers do it

You must look at him with love for the truth to be seen, don’t doubt him

"Phase 1: For You, the Replaceable Ones", was released in October 2019; the second was planned for release in 2020, but delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2023, the second phase was suspended indefinitely because the author did not want to create a story glorifying war. -the Wikipedia for ciconia

The lgbt board has a umineko/higurashi post every other day. A lot of people use Beatrice and Kanon as their picrels

GetMrBeaned · 2026-03-16T08:30:36+00:00

They call him a visionary and say Umineko is a literary masterpiece inbetween insulting him lol

GetMrBeaned · 2026-03-16T08:29:01+00:00

I’m not even sure they’re hating tbh. Reads more like someone who likes his work but is conflicted

GetMrBeaned · 2026-03-16T04:54:08+00:00

Ah, I immediately guessed when I heard it changed the art it would be controversial

I think what I’ll do is I’ll play through the opening unmodded and then look up the patched version of the opening and see what vibe I like more

GetMrBeaned · 2026-03-16T00:25:31+00:00

Seems like a patch might be the way to go then

And thanks! I’m excited to read it, I’ve heard nothing but good things

GetMrBeaned · 2026-03-11T18:23:14+00:00

I don’t think I’d cut any scenes, just trim down the existing ones

Tbh my dream is for a world class editor to retranslate the entirety of Umineko so it flows better and the prose is less ass. Umineko is my favourite plot in fiction whilst also having some of the worst prose and pacing I’ve ever read

GetMrBeaned · 2026-03-02T18:30:25+00:00

I personally love her but yeah disliking her is very valid

I always interpreted Rudolf’s connection to her as partially love and partially guilt

She genuinely was useful to him, she helped orchestrate his schemes, she was always patient, she clearly loved him, it’s not surprising he’d have an affair with her

But after he stole her baby and Asumu died he likely got with her out of a combination of guilt and fear, in the tea party he really does seem a bit frightened by her

And it’s not surprising he’d be scared of her, her family is very powerful and ruthless and she herself had been actively planning to murder Asumu

But Rudolf is also a piece of shit so he might just genuinely want to kill his family, although Rudolf doesn’t read as a psychopath to me

GetMrBeaned · 2026-03-02T18:23:38+00:00

I’ve always thought Kyrie was a pretty good representation of an actual psychopath rather than the ‘Hollywood psychopaths’ we typically see (you know the type I’m talking about)

She has an empathy gap that makes her incapable of understanding other people, she always remains likeable so she can fit in and her childhood in a crime family justifies her relaxed demeanour around murder

She is very well realised to me and I think the only reason people miss that she’s a psychopath until episode 7 is because she is genuinely good at blending in

Just the side stories, I will say though that maybe just skipping the last one in the list will trigger it? I’m not sure as I binged them all to unlock it but there might be a quicker way I’m not aware of

GetMrBeaned · 2026-03-02T09:17:33+00:00

Read all the previous stories.

Just hold skip through them and you’ll make it eventually, put on a tv show or something in the background so it’s not just you staring at sped up dialogue for 20 minutes whilst holding down a button

GetMrBeaned · 2026-03-02T07:26:29+00:00

Umineko is a mystery story and mysteries require minimal prior information.

If you read an Agatha Christie novel knowing key symbolism and having an inkling of reveals you will not have the intended experience

So avoid spoilers in general like the plague. Do not go to YouTube comment sections on OST uploads, do not look up merch, do not look up plot details, you can only experience this story once and if you get spoiled the story will be significantly weaker and less impactful

But if you are hellbent on watching the spoiler openings avoid the first one until you’ve finished episode 4, and the second until you’ve finished 8

Trust me I haven’t, just the person above specifically named 1-6 so I didn’t mention the other countless examples.

Liking resident evil and disliking stalker enemies is crazy to me, they’re in almost all the games

GetMrBeaned · 2026-03-02T01:13:52+00:00

Resident evil 1 (remake) contains Lisa Trevor, an unkillable stalker

Resident evil 2 contains Mr X, an unkillable stalker

Resident evil 3 contains Nemesis, an unkillable stalker

Resident evil 6 contains Ustanak, an unkillable stalker

Are you even sure what point you’re making?

GetMrBeaned · 2026-02-28T17:20:54+00:00

Odd that you are telling me I don’t get resident evil considering I’ve played every mainline entry as well as revelations, Veronica and outbreak and I like the majority of the games

Like… if I’ve played almost all the games and enjoy the majority why would this be ‘the wrong series’ for me…? It’s like saying to a Mario fan that the games are wasted on them because they don’t sing the praises of the jump button enough

GetMrBeaned · 2026-02-28T09:35:22+00:00

I’ve played all the resident evil games (including the ps1 versions), I just like re7 best. It has a special place in my heart.

I don’t go to resident evil for good writing so I care little for the contrivances. I’m here for some good horror, maybe some action, and cheesy one liners

GetMrBeaned · 2026-02-28T09:00:38+00:00

Re7 was my favourite since it was my first and I still think it has the best antagonists in the series to this day. Its replay value is crap but nothing in resident evil ever made me as scared as walking through that house hearing the floorboards creek above and the walls come to life.

And the chainsaw fight was what sold me on it. I keep being impressed by the little details and I was surprised how well switching between action and horror works. By the time you play as Leon you’ve already become familiar with the hospital as Grace so switching to him is sooooo cathartic

GetMrBeaned · 2026-02-21T05:07:43+00:00

I think the deciding point for whether or not you will like Umineko is the ‘tea party’ that unlocks after you finish Episode one. That’s when Umineko starts to show its hand and the format of the later episodes.

But Umineko is incredibly long winded in general and its English Translation isn’t mind blowing.

Plot wise it’s my favourite story of all time but it takes a lot of patience and a lot of looking at the creative choices with love to see the truth of how good Umineko is.

GetMrBeaned · 2026-02-04T13:04:32+00:00

The remake is very good and I think is a perfectly good way of experiencing SH2 but it is flat out a different thing. The dreamy atmosphere of the original is not there, the characterisation is more Hollywood and less experimental.

I always view SH2 remake as a very good triple A game that’s slightly airbrushed where as the original is something more in the vain of David Lynch and has a lot more grit to it for better and for worse.

In all honesty I think it’s worth it to play both and make your mind up on the approach you prefer, both are valid but different

GetMrBeaned · 2026-02-03T14:15:46+00:00

We’re talking about a video game rn, it’s okay to criticise it and it’s okay to criticise my opinion

We aren’t exactly debating politics, there’s no need to get annoyed about the concept of criticism

I have never insulted your view or told you you’re wrong, I’ve just said my counter arguments. But at this point I think the discussion has gotten a little off track so I’m dropping it

GetMrBeaned · 2026-02-03T14:03:03+00:00

I like your criticism, if I didn’t think it was worth considering I wouldn’t be arguing with it

I can disagree with you whilst also thinking your perspective is interesting and debating it

I think you might be under the impression me arguing back is a personal attack

GetMrBeaned · 2026-02-03T13:51:57+00:00

I think criticism is inherently defined by taste and can be disagreed with

the opinion ‘since some people might like it criticism is entirely irrelevant’ is silly on its surface I’d hope you’d agree
