I also think a good deal of the humour and surprise/shock value is lost without having played Higurashi first, but they are mostly different genres (albeit with similar approaches to mystery and suspense).

FWIW the Steam version's translation is just a repack of the original mid-00s fan translation, for all that entails. Yes you can turn off the art also.

I just watched this again and can't believe I missed the hopscotch at 0:15

Thinking about this and reflecting on how, conversely, everyone and anyone emulated EarthBound…… entirely because of Smash Bros

Because alt+drag is actually a useful combination in Firefox, I bound it to Windows key+drag (having already unbound the Windows key's bind to the Start menu years ago because I find pressing it by accident way too annoying for what *should* just be a modifier key…)

I agreed… but then I thought, surely there's a better way to drag a window in 2025 than that one barren strip.

Anyway, I installed something that lets you modifier-key-click any part of the window to drag, which has apparently been a standard Linux feature for over a decade.

To the wise, Halloween is just a more specific April Fools

THAT'S ALL!! I decided to shell out a lot more than I normally would to grab a good sample of this bothersomely large comic offering, so I hope y'all can use these recommendations as a good guide for the remaining… two hours of the sale… and counting.

Fallen into the Garden (https://is.gd/sfDmLo) – I liked this artist's previous comic, and while this continues last year's themes of space-faring culture-shock among sagely women, this one is more romantic and visceral. (Maybe the conclusion is a little abrupt, though.)

Bagatto (https://is.gd/toPJhy) – This comic is a platter of iridescent, sumptuous art and surreal dream scenes… maybe it doesn't have much to say writing-wise, but it successfully plays to its own strengths.

Aimé (https://is.gd/MAFHBU) – What initially seemed like a somewhat standard fairytale-type story with a simplistic art style managed to shock me with a few surprisingly touching scenes (including the climax) as well as several moments of artistic beauty.
October 31, 2025 at 5:51 PM
Extraterrestrial (https://is.gd/yvkU1T) – A cute story with incredible colouring. Even if the characters and expressions might be a little too hammy, the dialogue is funny enough to keep up the story's momentum.
October 31, 2025 at 5:47 PM
Sharpie's Mission of Rage and Justice (https://is.gd/7VXq9y) – A fun little wacky comic with great character interactions and dialogue that feels like it fits a lot into a little.
October 31, 2025 at 5:37 PM
Li'l Burgers (https://is.gd/KpFGfM) – Funny and impressively well-drawn social satire about the contradictions of patriotism and globalisation, where national symbols violently and fruitlessly attack their own cultural irrelevance.
October 31, 2025 at 5:27 PM
In Case of Turbulence (https://is.gd/PcPtrf) – While this is just a series of disposable memoir-type gag comics without any real conclusion, it gets my nod just for how snappy the punch-lines are.
October 31, 2025 at 5:09 PM
Ladies of the Living Princess (https://is.gd/z7AfuL) – Despite a slow start (and somewhat muted ending), this grows to be quite the entertaining supernatural story with a surprisingly fun main couple.
October 31, 2025 at 5:02 PM
Dead Horses (is.gd/cem4L8) – This one EASILY ranks as the best among the ones I tried this year. Excellent imagery and pacing, with a simple but not entirely predictable story, and characters who keep unfolding even far later than you'd expect.
