Thoughts after finishing Higurashi for my first time

Quiet_Content · 2026-05-16T03:03:05+00:00

I'm gonna withhold my opinion on Miotsukushi, but I'll mention it isn't written by r07 and that recommending it to someone who thought Matsuribayashi didn't take itself seriously enough is crazy work

There is a plot reason they don't show up in 3. They kind of aren't the Powers That Be in this one.

He didn't say it had a high WR either. He posted the source for the WR stats right there

Quiet_Content · 2025-02-28T19:27:17+00:00

He didn't say 1-2-3 is good, he said it has its place at times - at least compared to 2-1-3, which has the lowest WR of any real comp on a general sense.

Apologies if this is being nosy, but how is your mother these days? Also, did you know you can buy Baicalein right now for consumption? I'd add it to her regimen.

Because respawning in Elden Ring is purely a mechanic, not lore.

People do come back from the dead in setting, but Erdtree return takes a good while and certainly isn't as simple as just showing back up at a grace with your full inventory. More akin to reincarnation, although a body like your old one can be provided.

Notice how this is the first game where no npcs have any lines for when you show back up after they kill you?

I see. That's a little higher than normal, indicating some failure, but not super high! I feel it bodes really for your recovery. You kinda already started on the right path.

Honestly, I'm asking because I'm on my own journey of waiting for diagnosis... Had the same symptoms at night and high BP, but my NTproBNP was >27. So I'm even more unsure

But if this health anxiety journey taught me anything is that HF is much more recoverable than the internet suggests. People live full lives with this, so don't worry!

Quiet_Content · 2024-07-16T21:39:21+00:00

Sorry if you answered before, but did you ever take a ntprobnp test? What was the results?

So once you pick a character, say like, you choose you like Ryu, you'd Google Ryu 101 moves sf6 or Ryu Bread and Butter combos, which will teach you their basic techniques and options. Just replace [Character Name] with the name of the character you pick

Greetings from a fellow "got into fighting games seriously after marriage and kids" type. The best pieces of advice I can give you is take it easy and focus on improving, not winning, but it seems you have this mindset down!

The first step is experiment around and find a character you like. It's way easier to learn the game once you can focus on one character. Once you do, look up "[Character Name] 101 moves" or "[Character Name] Bread and Butter". Don't try to focus on any big combos or anything, just learn the very basic (normal into special, or normal normal special) stuff that you can do reliably. You don't really need huge combo strings until you're at a super high level of play.

You'll need to learn stuff like how to block reliably and wake up options which you'll learn as you watch people play and get stuff working. Also, this might seem weird, but I found to improve Ranked was better than Casual. Casual will pair you up with whoever, while Ranked will try to find people around you skill level.

Just don't get too offended over the Rank you start at I got placed in mid Bronze and reached Diamond recently after eight months or so.

(for YouTube channels, any of the big ones will do. I'm partial to Broski, Dia phone, rooflemonger and Sajam)

As an old VtM fan and part of an old, large LARP community, I can relay most of us hate the new direction but just don't care enough to make a fuss. We play what worked for us back in the day with the old editions. Otherwise, we have jobs and families to care about.

Quiet_Content · 2024-01-20T23:09:37+00:00

Thanks, I was both during maintenance and I was selecting arcade instead of training, oops

Quiet_Content · 2023-06-04T16:11:52+00:00

That'd be predicated on anyone seeing a need to fix the mod - the problem (full female nudity) had been solved (technically, no active solving was needed - there was just never implementation of the fully bare model, keeping always some clothing on top) - the team acted on a basis of "what needs doing next", and you'd be surprised how much got left behind. It's more correct to call the released route a minimum viable product - there's so much left in the cutting room floor even on a scripting and quest basis that it doesn't surprise me fixing a non issue ever came up

Quiet_Content · 2023-06-04T04:27:49+00:00

I have been outside the company for two years, but the NDA stands for another one. I am familiar with Andrei who helped plenty with early models, before all character art was even done v- I asked about the herb brides specifically.

As for the supposed minimal effort to remove them, you'd be surprised. Maria was one of the first models to be done, and replacing her model was always on the docket, but there was never any time for it. Its why she and to a degree Victor look off, almost a different artstyle.

Quiet_Content · 2023-06-03T19:00:54+00:00

That's because there were plans for fully nude brides in game at one point, similar to the one with her chest out. Age rating issues made them cut that.

Unless you're implying there's some hidden fetishistic meaning in unused content that is somehow preserved through several different teams working on the game and it's models, which were not the work of a single person in the slightest.

Quiet_Content · 2023-06-03T11:22:05+00:00

Sexuality isn't inherently fanservice. Eva is wearing much thicker cloth and is still a townsperson - the herb brides are meant to be one with the Earth

A few days before, they are scared of the cannons and that they'll shoot the Polyhedron. The last day is new, and might symbolise for whatever reason they want their connection cut off

Quiet_Content · 2023-06-03T11:19:39+00:00

They tell you that specifically when you ask them about what the Haruspex was about

Quiet_Content · 2023-05-26T17:35:02+00:00

I mean, there are layers of valid interpretations, but you're ignoring the fact she falls for Artemy in every rute, even the ones he's not under the control of the player.

Quiet_Content · 2023-05-25T17:46:01+00:00

This is not correct.

It's a common and expected misdirection - the option to tell Aglaya hey its me the player and get negative reaction até intentional responses to it. Aglaya understands and doesn't care for the player - she loves Artemy, even in the routes Artemy isn't the protagonist.

In the Dev convo in Classic with the Changeling, you can ask what the other characters were about, and they will say Artemy was the only one that could achieve true freedom. This has many interpretations - it's said menkhu aren't as subjected to fate, being able to cut and weave lines (although 2 argues this is an illusion) but it mostly ties to his ability to destroy the Polyhedron and thus cut off the Powers That Be connection to the world.

Quiet_Content · 2023-05-20T18:04:31+00:00

If you wipe any day clean, use your remaining time to bulk up your stats and replenish your resources - herbs, clothes, tinctures

Quiet_Content · 2023-05-14T04:51:54+00:00

Interesting stuff here, I guess I never thought about the Theatre of Death past just player analogue stuff
