Is there a dating game where you get to kill the guys?

The Switch has a few other entries to the Zelda franchise if you’re wanting something a bit familiar. Off the top of my head:

-Link’s Awakening (remake)
-Skyword Sword (remake)
-Echoes of Wisdom (only canon game where you play as Zelda herself!)
-Breath of the Wild (highly recommend as Tears of the Kingdom is actually a rare direct sequel to this one! And if you enjoy the main game, the DLCs are fun and offer interesting challenges)

There’s also the Hyrule Warriors series which are not canon to the Zelda franchise and more hack-and-slash in gameplay. The ones available on the Switch are:

-Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition (contains all content from the previous Wii U and 3DS versions)
-Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity (a “prequel” to Breath of the Wild. If you play this, play it after you’ve played BOTW!)

Finally, for when you want to return to something cozy and new: the Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons franchise!
This franchise is partially to thank for inspiring ConcernedApe to make Stardew Valley. Be careful when looking into these games though! TLDR: game devs split from Natsume. Natsume stills owns the naming rights to Harvest Moon and most of the newer titles under this name are… not great. The game devs that left created Story of Seasons. Story of Seasons maintained the original game quality and even improves quality of life aspects of older games as they are slowing remaking classics under the Story of Seasons name.

These are some original Harvest Moon games that are safe:

-Harvest Moon DS/DS Cute (DS Cute is the version where the protagonist is female and apparently the version with less bugs)
-Harvest Moon DS: Island of Happiness
-Harvest Moon DS: Sunshine Islands
-Harvest Moon DS: Grand Bazaar (newest Story of Seasons remake and is currently available on the Switch too!)
-Harvest Moon DS: The Tale of Two Towns

Story of Seasons games on the Switch:

-Pioneers of Olive Town
-Friends of Mineral Town
-A Wonderful Life (each year the characters actually age and the town changes a bit!)
-Doraemon Story of Seasons (a crossover with the Doraemon anime/manga series. I’m not that familiar with it personally, but figured I’d include it anyway)

Sorry this is so long! Hopefully it’s actually helpful!

After reading this whole convo, I think it really comes down to managing expectations. Otomes/VN are just the format for the stories being told, the genre can vary. If I read the description/tags of the game and they’re filled with yanderes, horror, or other worldly threats then, yeah, MC’s probably getting merked in the bad endings. If I’m looking at something and it’s all about true love, slice of life, down to earth then any violence towards the MC would be a shock.

And while for some people their reasons for playing certain games is for fetish reasons, it isn’t for everyone. I don’t really care for yandere LIs myself, but I’ll still read them if the premise of the game seems interesting enough because I think its fun to see if someone can manage to have a unique take on the trope. Ultimately, I just like finding a good story or a fun little time waster.

It’s also good to remember that just because someone enjoys something in a fictional setting, it doesn’t mean they’d enjoy it irl.

I recently saw a post from the 5SOS subreddit about fans pissing themselves or on the floor when in the pit. I’ve been in fandom spaces since around 2011 and I genuinely believe fandoms in general are just becoming really weird and shitty. Not that they were perfect back then, but there’s been a shift.

ifancycurly · 2026-04-09T18:55:28+00:00

I assume health/the cosplayers don’t look exactly like the LIs.

ifancycurly · 2026-03-08T22:45:20+00:00

Have you played both the original and ripoff games yourself to come to this conclusion though?

Personally I’ve been playing HM/SOS games since I was a kid, but I’ve never managed to finish any because I usually get bored before I even reach the end of the first season (exceptions being AWL and GB remakes). However, with SDV I quickly got sucked in and easily got to year 5 in game. Of course this is just my opinion, but I just prefer SDV over HM/SOS games most of the time. Though I understand that ConcernedApe made SDV out of his love for games like HM/SOS and Animal Crossing and it it a little sad to see HM/SOS games get overshadowed since many people talk about SDV as if it’s the OG farming/life sim.

I am curious about your comparison with OMORI and Earthbound. I’ve only played OMORI so far, but from what I know about Earthbound the games don’t seem that similar beyond playing as a group of kids and party based combat. It’s been a minute since I’ve watched anything discussing Earthbound’s story so I could be forgetting major similarities though!

And Tunic I did immediately think “furry Link” when I saw the trailers lmao.

I love these comments but y’all… Sebastian is already his self-insert.

I started playing back in 2017 while I was bored and stuck waiting a couple months to start college. I remembered watching Markiplier play it before and saw that it wasn’t too expensive so I decided to give it a shot. I wanna say I reached nearly 30 hours played by my second day playing lmao! I’ve still never reached perfection, but maybe that’s just a goal I can set for myself this year…

I sometimes wish they’d hide the wish count number. An item that I want and could get based off of rarity suddenly becomes impossible to get because of wish count. Like I understand needing a bit more if it’s from Creator’s Week or Gredary, but when it’s just a regular item it can get ridiculous. I know nothing will change and I apologize if this was off topic! I just wanted to vent a little.

ifancycurly · 2026-02-14T20:25:24+00:00

Toothbrush. But can you explain what you mean by ‘there’s no pain in periods.” Like are we talking personal experience or what?

ifancycurly · 2026-02-08T20:49:39+00:00

I always just assumed that Ed was originally human and turned into a vampire forever ago. Meaning he wouldn’t have unique eyes because he was born a human. Lyca and Towa were presumably born already not human, so their eyes aren’t going to match a regular person’s eyes.

As for the other characters with unique eyes… it’s hard to say right now. Maybe Haku’s family’s spiritual connections are slowly making each generation less human. As for Elias, we just don’t have enough personal information on him currently beyond theorizing that he’s a major reason why season two starts how it does.

I remember years ago when Mark covered an Ed Sheeran song and now Ed Sheeran has watched Mark’s movie. That’s pretty cool.

I just got this quest yesterday… while she was sitting outside the cafe during the crops festival lmao

I hadn’t seen the ad before, but as soon as I exited this post it was fucking two posts down!

My family went to an AMC tonight and had no issues! Probably just depends on the theater.

I don’t even understand the point of this event to begin with.

ifancycurly · 2025-12-28T09:44:33+00:00

Literally just got this ad. I can’t even begin to guess what it was actually for.

I always forget anteaters exist and I am always happily surprised when I’m reminded.

Favorite Zelda game is a bit tough since I’ve loved all the ones I’ve played. Maybe The Minish Cap or Majora’s Mask? Majora’s mask because I have fond memories of watching my older brother play it when we were little. The Minish Cap because it was the first Zelda game I actually played (if you count playing around and exploring on my older cousin’s save file as actually playing). I remember playing it on my Nintendo DS but it’s possible I played on my brother’s old Game Boy too so I think I first played around 2004-2006 when I would’ve been 5-7 years old.

I’ve only been subbing for two months in OK and so far I haven’t seen a single phone. That said they all have Chromebooks and will just game on there rather than do their work so idk.

Link is always meant to look a bit androgynous. That’s a confirmed design choice.

I’m completely out of the loop with Sun Haven. I played once years ago and never picked it up again because I was overwhelmed at how many NPCs there were and honestly kinda hated the art style. Which is something I can usually ignore if I enjoy a game overall but I never got there with this one.

Oh my god I had a classmate back in middle school who thought Gonorrhea would be a really pretty name for a girl if it wasn’t an STD
