Depends on the game, imo.

I don't think cultural osmosis can prepare you to say, reading Fate/stay night and stumbling through the forty bad endings to reach the good ones.
Good comparison, I saw an adaptation of FSN years ago with friends and the writing of the game made it more enjoyable, seeing Shirou's inner monologues and the eloquent writing was quite gripping. A non VN example is The World Ends With You, Neku is a much worse character in the anime because when he ****s up horribly early on, not being able to see his inner thoughts like in the game makes it seem like he had no hesitations on ****ing up like that

Im so depressed and suisidal that Im about to break my diet and buy a bulk of.candy and eat it all
It’s not worth it, bro. The tummyache combined with regret gonna feel bad. Save your money. Buy a plushie or art stuff instead.

One time I ate a megaton of nerds and skittles in that phase and lemme tell you that I was shooting double rainbows. :191:

Sure it can. All you need to know is one word.

gacha :nifty:
That's just the secret worst ending.

Yeah, also FSN's adaptations suck and they are the only possible explanation of how some people can even suggest the idea that Shirou could be a boring character.

Why do you have to be mean? I play visual novels. My first one was friggin famicom detective club.
Not my intention to be overly mean but a lot of people who aren't familiar with a gwnre tend to hype up ones for being unique or creative when the reality is that they simply don't look at the genre. Like, imagine if someone said that the greatest horror story was Sonic.exe, this hypothetical person has also never read any horror novels, watched any horror movies or played any horror games. You'd doubt their claim too right?

At least DDLC is a popular western visual novel that seems to actually like the genre

I would take that over the 100 "Lol Dating sims weird XD" visual novels that you see pop up every april fools.

I don’t know tbh. People are weird. I can imagine someone who frequently consumes horror and also somehow thinks Sonic.EXE is the best one. Some people just have weird hyper specific tastes.

I don't think that I will ever find another Pokémon fan game that really speaks to me like Xenoverse: Per Aspera Ad Astra.

That game has everything I look for in Pokémon and beyond.

I deleted it in college but since reinstalled it.

I was already frustrated with the state of the app, but a certain gesture Musk did yesterday (intentional or not) was the last straw.
I’m trying to move over to blue sky but not everyone I follow on Twitter has made the move yet so I still check there just to see everything they post.

Oh nvm the DLC is behind the Markwtplace wich is behind a subscription, **** minecraft
The marketplace has a subscription service that comes with stuff, but you shouldn’t need to subscribe to it to get anything as far as I know. You can find the Hello Kitty DLC on its own on the website, and it should be the same way ingame; you can browse the marketplace for free. Of course, you’ll still need to pay for the DLC itself.

edit: Here’s the link for its page on the website:

Coins are used to buy stuff. None of it is needed to play the game.

I just looked and the Hello Kitty pack isn’t up yet on the Xbox marketplace, but I assume it’ll be 8 or 9 dollars based on the other packs having similar prices.

It should work if you buy it via Xbox (the DLC is listed separately there) then go to the Switch if both are under the same Microsoft account. I had this happen in the past with various packs.

That said, I don’t know if it will work with a direct purchase and not a coin purchase. Mostly because I wasn’t aware until now you can buy packs separately on Xbox.

Edit: To answer your other question, it’s not good. Laggy at the best of times, with long loading times, plus needing multiple NSO subs to play local multiplayer.

Is there even a point in playing DDLC if I know everything that's gonna happen from cultural osmosis
It depends on the actual writing itself and that comes down to the actual quality of the VN in question tbh
For something like Umineko or a Type Moon VN, cultural osmosis can never fully convey everything that's in them. The actual written prose is very important and the writers use it perfectly, no adaptations can fully convey the strength of the writing.
DDLC isn't one of those VNs. It's kinda just shock factor stuff and it loses so much of the appeal when you know what's happening and the writing isn't really strong enough to carry it beyond that aspect. It's not bad per say, just not particularly great.

I think i want to play minecraft now
I just bought this for my daughter and she is already having problems. The hello kitty pickaxes won’t mine/break down anything no matter what you try to use it on. Is this intentional?

Jokes on you, I did that nearly 5 years ago.

still a W tho
Redownload it and just focus on people you follow.

Like most 3rd party games, the Switch version is watered down in a variety of ways. I’d only recommend Minecraft for Switch if that’s the only console you have. PS5/XB are much better. PC is obviously the best.
How? Minecraft is a really old game! It had ports on friggin Wii U and 3DS for crying out loud? How does a game that looks like an N64 game not run well on switch?

If you remember, they split the PC and console versions into two different types of game.

From my personal experiences owning the Switch version, it runs fine for a Java Edition. Very crash and lag-prone, though.

Yeah, no. I actually had a really traumatic experience there way, way before Elon took over. My policy is not making friends online period, I can't trust anyone I can't see.

Also if I were to join another platform like this it would not be the one run by a guy who openly wants to take my rights away even if I'm not in America
