Umineko is 20 hours of great game bundled with 80 hours of really bad game and I just want to be done with it. what the fuck are lines like this. Why does every visual novel yuri dev swear by it It exhausts me

"Nothing will be resolved by the eruption of momentary emotions. Can't you see that doing that will only make their treatment of Ange-sama even more severe?"

Adding "Workaholic" to my VNDB profile after spending four hours updating the IGDB + IMDB + VNDB profiles for my project and everyone who worked on it I got my COVID and Flu shots today and I'm STILL overworking myself, somehow. I'm incorrigible.

This is just me playing the game in auto mode. I've connected my laptop to the Ultra Skelly prop in "live" Bluetooth mode so it lip syncs. The skeleton acts like a large Bluetooth speaker that lip syncs to any content, including a yuri visual novel. I also did the aux out mod on the skeleton.

Doing a game design document for Shrek (if it were a visual novel) I'm proving SOME sort of point.

Lord Farquaad

40s • Duloc • he/him

Role in Story: The conniving “king” of the land of Duloc, Lord Farquaad wants nothing more than to rule his kingdom and land with an iron fist.

Goal: He wants to marry a princess so he may be a “real king”. Secretly, Lord Farquaad is insecure and wants to be a “real king”—as if that would fix who he really is.

Physical Description: Short. Like, really short. His appearance is based off of Michael Eisner. He wears a red, obnoxious pajama-like gown reminiscent of wealthy, pathetic kings. Has a cape.

Personality: Insecure, anxious, and desperate for a title that will solve nothing, Lord Farquaad wants desperately to like himself. He wants to control others in the hopes it will fix himself.
Basically, he’s a little bitch.

Occupation: “King” of Duloc.

Habits/Mannerisms: Acts like a slimy real-estate salesman. Very jovial, loud, and brash to compensate for his insecurity.

Background:

I think this "four 10 hour workday shifts in a week" thing is killing me. I didn't think an extra two hours of work a day would be so difficult, but I just feel so dead after every day... It'll stop in a few weeks. At least the cats are still elated to see me.

Watched the part of Shrek at the beginning where he's alone and sad. This gave me the disturbing realization that Shrek was doing more self-care than I was, so I bought some food to remedy that.

Hi. Slightly tipsy. Can Natsuhi hold my hand instead of her head, please? I will nurse her headache.

Umineko screenshot with a beautiful brunette woman with a purple cravat. She seems tired, yearning for a young (perhaps early 30s woman) to reach out and give her companionship, a kind smile, and earnesty. Also there's a man there doing who-knows what
