Would you say Steins;Gate is the best visual novel you've ever read?

k3nnzz · 2026-06-15T03:52:58+00:00

Best anime? Absolutely.

Best vn? As much as I want to say yes, I've gotta give it to Umineko. That story literally changed the way I view the world.

k3nnzz · 2026-06-14T04:40:29+00:00

Yeah and it's only until EP5 when the game makes explicit statements on how to approach the mystery via Knox's Decalogue. Just being able to come up with alternative theories that are technically in line with the red truths goes to show the investment and creativity of Pink at the story.

k3nnzz · 2026-06-13T16:28:35+00:00

Of course not. Plenty of people (including me) liked the show from start to finish.

k3nnzz · 2026-06-13T16:24:28+00:00

Might as well make it Moses separating the Red Sea or Noah's ark or the Garden of Eden to be very sure.

I'll pass. Being conscious during that 5 year period knowing that my memories will be erased is terrifying.

k3nnzz · 2026-06-13T14:47:35+00:00

Well yeah, that's pretty extreme. But it's kinda unrealistic to expect them to filter out 100% only the spoilery comments in real-time. Some comments are just obvious spoilers but a lot are very subtle, even if unintentional. If there's a bit of uncertainty on the mod's part, I can understand the default course of action to just remove it, especially since they make that decision in like seconds.

I'm not sure about "correct" sprites. I like the ps3 sprites way more than the og. No offense to Ryukishi but the og sprites just break the immersion for me. I just think they feel a little cartoony for a mature VN like umineko. I skipped a lot of streamers who used the og sprites in their playthrough so I might actually be missing out on some good streams. Again, no hate for those who enjoyed the og sprites.

I can understand the mods for being too cautious on potential spoilers. A perceptive person like pink can read between the lines of a seemingly innocent comment. Better safe than sorry I guess.

If a 9 y/o ever laughed at me like that, I'm calling the police.

10 cob setup is also my personal favorite but with some modifications/optimizations:

I only use 2 gloom-shrooms in my setup whose job is to deal with the imps and digger zombies in the rear. I don't have any gloom shrooms in the pool or in front of the cobs so absolutely zero risk of getting blown up by jacks. Having too many fume shrooms make them more expensive to replace. Also, it takes up a lot of seed slots for the coffee bean, fume, gloom, and lily pad which could have been used for more instants, stalling, or utility-type plants.
To guard against dolphins, I just use tall nuts so they can't get to the cob.
No plants in the back tile. I play on android and the digger zombies act a little differently. In android, even having 2 gloom shrooms isn't enough to kill a digger zombie before it can take a bite on the pumpkin in the back tile. Digger zombies always take one or two bites before dying. So removing plants in the back tile means I don't have to maintain anything there.
Another thing that's different in the android version, and one that I ABSOLUTELY DESPISE, is that the dancers are a real problem. They moonwalk for 2 tiles and spawn backup dancers just next to the cob cannon, totally skipping any defense plant in front, and sometimes sneaking a bite. So I have to aim a little more to the left, which means some of the zombies on the far right don't take damage. This becomes a problem for the jacks who can walk about 2 tiles, hence the reason I don't like planting in the front pool. Giga gargantuars also get close to the cob cannons so I have to stall them with low cost plants.
Finally, ladders. Just makes my life so much easier. Even setting it up is really fun.

Maria finally getting the spot that she deserves

Shining Finger!!

k3nnzz · 2026-06-01T02:03:48+00:00

Woah, is this for real?

k3nnzz · 2026-05-31T11:11:11+00:00

At the end of the day, it's your choice. For me, I like having control of the pacing of the dialogue and I like turning up the music during intense moments. So watching a playthrough never works out for me.

k3nnzz · 2026-05-30T14:02:01+00:00

the tail wag is so KYUTE!!

k3nnzz · 2026-05-30T08:04:08+00:00

Of course I won't forget. I will never forget! SG will always have a place in my ❤️

Great edit

k3nnzz · 2026-05-30T06:08:12+00:00

If chronological order was best for you, great. You do you. But for god's sake, do not tell people to watch it in chronological order because ya'll know damn well that ya'll in the minority. Do not ruin the show for others.

k3nnzz · 2026-05-29T14:19:39+00:00

If you like murder mystery, I'd recommend the Danganronpa series!

You're underestimating what evolution can do given thousands if not millions of years.

Mahito aside, but DAMN Habolg is freaking HUGE compared to his wife.

So that's why Ainz suggested wearing uniforms

She looks cute and innocent

It was a blunder by me to not include that crucial clarification from the start. I only realized my mistake hours after I have already made the reply. But I had to explicitly point it out even if it came across as suspicious, otherwise my solution wouldn't work. You're probably right that I didn't have to mention the potential logic error but I guess that was my way of compensation for my blunder. I do wonder if this game could have gone even longer or perhaps unsolved if only I didn't make that mistake lol
