From what I have read on the upcoming implementation on i2p in qbit, I do not forsee it being adopted by the core torrent user base. The main issue I have with it is that while you can download from clearnet peers, you are only able to seed to other i2p peers. This completely eliminates any adoption by anyone using private trackers. Its not like the guys in brazil are going to jump through an extra hoop to hide their ip since they never needed to in the first place, so they can be ruled out for adoption as well. What I really fear is that its going to create a completely unnecessary schism in the userbase with a sort of ‘leechnet’ walled garden of i2p users which would hurt the greater availability of seeders. I also haven’t gotten a straight answer from anyone how ports are going to work in i2p, since normally its imperative to have a forwarded port in order to be a full participant. Unless i2p users can seed to clearnet users without issue, I am going to be worried about the impact on torrent health as a whole.
To anyone who isn’t interested in Japanese-style visual novels, I’d recommend Scarlet Hollow. It’s an “immersive horror-mystery” illustrated by Abby Howard (of The Last Halloween fame). It’s an episodic title (the first episode is free on Steam) and it is not finished yet.
Loved the anime of steins gate. Think I’ve got the elite version of the VN but thinking maybe i should of got the OG. The frozen anime frames look a tad weird to me
Zero Escape series: I love them, even ZTD. Some hated that ending, while I don’t think it’s that bad.
Infinity series:
Never7 is very slow, and romance heavy with bit sci-fi. I don’t like this game
Ever17 starts getting better, leaning more towards sci-fi, but can still be quite slow
Remember11 is the best among the infinity series, it’s sci-fi horror mystery. Some say the ending is kinda incomplete due to budget issue, I’d say that the ending is bit of cliffhanger, but the main story is more or less complete
Raging Loop: a really good supernatural horror mystery. Maybe even better than Zero Escape series. I highly recommend this.
Paranormasight: a solid horror mystery VN released this year, there’s some smart puzzle and writing, but the ending is kinda unfulfilling.
Meitantei Conan & Kindaichi Shounen no Jikenbou: it’s fan translated DS game. I am a Kindaichi fan, and the Kindaichi section is good mystery. The Conan part is … well, I’m not into Case Closed, their mystery always feel bit geared towards kids.
Danganronpa series: There are parts of the games that I like, but somehow I couldn’t stand the annoying character tropes prevalent in the series, and also those fan-service-y part. Some people dislike the final ending, I’m ok with it.
Root Letter & Root Film: Root Letter starts out good, but somehow one of the endings ruined the whole game. Root Film starts off promising, but the deduction part is kinda stupid and boring. Also the ending is not good.
Policenauts & Snatcher: They are quite interesting. I enjoyed Policenauts quite a bit. Snatcher is good too.
Silver Case: couldn’t stand the banter and writing. Everything feels so slow, and very Suda51.
13 Sentinels Aegis Rim: quite a solid sci-fi kitchen sink visual novel. It does feel like they are biting more than they could chew though.
AI the Somnium File: okay sci-fi mystery VN, I don’t think it hits the high of Zero Escape.
Fatamorgana: I thought it was a murder mystery VN, didn’t realize it’s more romance, couldn’t get into it.
Steins; Gate: I tried to like this game so many times. Okabe the main character is very grating.
I’ve probably missed some, I recently bought Root Double, which is from the co-writer of the Infinity series, heard that it’s really good.
VA-11 Hall-A! One of my favourite VN if my instance url didn’t give it away. It’s not too long, listen to the start telling you to get cozy and then mix drinks and change lives.
Haha what the fuck I really did NOT think they would do that to r/piracy of all things. Ah well fuck them and their shitty IPO. I‘m here with you guys for good, the structure of the fediverse suits our purposes and community better anyway.
