Since it seems that we will not have a game night this month, I thought it would be cool to bring the Minecraft server back (I'm not the same owner as before), I don't know for how long I'll keep it online, but hope you enjoy for the time being.

Feel free to offer up any games for the next game night, and share any memories you've made! Everyone is welcome, and everyone can offer up a game. Only rule is to be comfy. Idea comes from >>782 I hope we can all get along and make something special! Sponsored by the Hikari3 Steam group: join today! https://steamcommunity.com/groups/Hikari3

where do i find loads of obscure freeware? Anonymous 04/21/2025 (Mon) 13:35:11 No. 1243 [Reply]
ive become incredibly fascinated by old freeware games with a weird vibe(i.e yume nikki, ib, etc) and i really want to find more of it. anyone know of any websites where i can find this sort of thing? they don't have to be in english or anything lol. id prefer to source them from equally weird websites but i know itch.io has quite a few of these type of games. thanks in advance pic unrelated, he's my emotional support Gordon

Which classic Sonic game had the best special stages?
9 posts and 1 image omitted.
>>
Classic ended with Sonic R to me.
>>
>>852 That's because it was the last Sonic game before Sonic's redesign in 1998.
>>
>>571 I liked S3&K's the most. Sonic 2's special stages are fairly fun, but doing the last one with Sonic and Tails is a complete nightmare if you don't have a friend who is just as good as you to help. Sonic 1's are a neat idea, they're just not great. CD's look the coolest, but I remember the later stages being a pain. Chaotix has the absolute coolest special stages to the point where I'm actually convinced they spent more time on them vs the actual game, but I'm terrible at them and have never gotten all the Chaos Rings. so I refuse to say they're the best. You also move a bit too slowly, or maybe the camera FOV is just set up that you don't get a good sense of speed.
>>
Sonic 1 because I can actually beat them. (But really, I found the half pipe and spheres stuff to be not as interesting). The CD stages were fun but they felt kind of extraneous as you didn't have to do well in them to fully beat the game.
>>
>>571 S3&K's special stages are the most memorable for me, but they made me dizzy as a kid.

VA-11 Hall-A is my favorite visual novel there are a lot of different endings you can get and overall the bartender type game is very relaxing.

Everbody shut up I'm about to rant: I have troubles (big troubles) finishing any kind of vns. I always end up hating the stupid main character or being annoyed about gated endings. Don't force me to replay your game or else I'm not even going to finish it. If I like it, I'll replay it. I still remember how 999 and AI:The Somnium Files just forced me to restart the game without showing me an ending because I was about to get the true one on my first try. The last vn that annoyed me was Raging Loop by graying out options. I've finished a Tsukihime route a few months ago but dread going back to it because I know all the endings won't be available to me on a first playthrough (or so I've heard a long time ago). I also don't like vns who have a high amount of bad endings but just a handful of good ones, as playing the game feels like walking on a mine field. I don't mind bad endings if they're treated with as much respect as the good ones, but don't make it a trial and error kinda thing. Sometimes I wish somebody made a visual novel where you could actually roleplay as your character, I think that would be really cool. I also wish visual novels had more choices in general, I've had more fun playing games with fluff dialogue choices like Dragon Quest or Persona than with a lot of vns. Better writing is definitely needed since they're basically books in video game form. Vndb also needs to be less strict with what it considers to be a vn. Also, please, release them in more languages. There's a game I've always wanted to play that only had a fan translation in my language but was a pain to download, and now that there's an ultimate version on steam, there isn't even a fan patch for it. And that pisses me the frick (I said it) off. All in all I think it's a genre with a lot of potential but with a huge compentecy crisis as it's been carried by the same few dozen games since forever it seems. And you know what's worse than all of this? It's that I had a great point to make (the best, some would say) and that my memory has gotten so bad that I forgot about it. Anyways, my favorite visual novel is Snatcher, it's unfiltered westaboo Kojima retardation kino from before he sold his soul and creativity to Moloch to get a taste of the hollywood life he's always dreamed of. Rant over thank you every nyan.

>>718 I've been into VNs since 2020 but recently most of my attention goes to short-form indie stories. I think playing Narcissu in february this year really contributed to this but damn I love stories as short as 10 minutes of reading that are made by max two people and amateurish to the core but I guess that's what makes me like them so much. And they're great japanese practice too! The picture is from a game ...in white by a small doujin group ZIGZAG. It's very short you can only play it in a very tiny window and it rocks

What would your dream videogemu be about?
>>
>>1061 sekusu, so my dreams have already been fulfilled

a cool cyberpunk game
>>
a dark-fantasy game with the world building and story of black souls(with some obvious changes ) and freedom of baldur's gate 3, gameplay isn't even important, i would be fine with something like skyrim. i don't have hopes for this ever existing.
>>
>>1228 yeah also a dark fantasy like vermis I and vermis II
