you have a point but some of the funniest entertainment is just an artist screaming "NO, GOD NO, YOU SICK FUCKS NO, GOD, STOP" while desperately trying to work it into the narrative

Y'all got any examples? I believe it - given the processors and shit going on - but I'd like something concrete to share

Hype man sorta implies a sort of cheerleaderish "look at my cool friend!" sort of guy, I mean someone who is literally there to make the readers go "OH FUCK [x] IS HERE OH SHIT IT'S THE GUY OH FUCK" whenever people start to lose interest

Yeah, formerly my go to was "do they call themselves a dating sim at all" but now it's "Do they use the VN format and call it a dating sim" because if they do the latter, their idea of the genre is formed by, like, Ganguro Girl

Always always check if they call themselves "visual novel" or "Dating sim", it's such a reliable shibboleth. There are a few exceptions, but most of the time it just works.

>Does the visual novel advertise itself as a dating sim?
>yes>It's probably not great
>no>At least it's made by people who enjoy and love the medium

With no sleep and generous assumption of only 80 hours per game, that clocks in at just under two weeks anyway. No sleep, just enough spare for food and toilet.

Totally doable.

Completely healthy.

No problem.

I honestly think Blooper's strengths ae similar to TRIGGER, who shine the most when adapting things

Blooper is cracked when making remakes, who coulda thought

"mouth a violence" is a phrase that I cannot tell if it is powerful and evocative or extremely cringe, the waveform refuses to collapse

This has lead to untold numbers of "psh, media illiterates don't even realize [x] is making fun of them" posts

And then you have the trend of "No, no, the dialogue should be way way low because it's so *cinematic*!"

THere are some games that strive for excellent balance and flaws to every strategy

and then there are games that are like "I WANT THE BIG NUMBER JUST AS MUCH AS YOU DO"

The fact that they might lose, even just a little tiny itty bitty chance, is really funny to me
