/og/ - Other Games

Stop shilling your game, I'm not going to pay for OMOCAT's rhinoplasty

Black space resparked my curiousity for Nikki games

>>6299
I kind of hate Omori. I don't want to feel this way, but I do.

Omori is… eh, i'm indifferent.

It's like YN with a story, but it's got that lame 'uwu' aesthetic i hate (and fanbase)

Actually it's not that much like YN at all, fuck
It's more of an Undertale clone without the charm and the "sad boi energy ;w;" cranked up to the max

But there are still some parts done great, like how that creepy eye thing is handled. Genuinely creepy.

I'll just let it run its course. These don't last for long anyway. Give it like a year

I played that game. It was pretty good.

>>6299
It's pretty good. Some parts can be a bit boring but when it's good it's really good. So overall it's a very fun game.
Except the Hikikomori route. That is one of the biggest disappointments in my life. Black Space 2 was just… bad. Seriously, Black Space was my favorite part in the game, and Black Space 2 barely has any content in it. I was so excited when I first go to to it, only to be almost immediately let down, specially since the Omori route only have the worst parts in the game up to that point. That, coupled with the fact that the route doesn't have an ending left me with a really sour taste in my mouth.
So yeah, it's pretty good, definitely worthy of your time. It's not amazing though.

Not a fangame, you can't just assume something for the community and decide it goes here, for all you care we should have Mother and Undertale here as well, gtfo to /og/ or Tumblr, it belongs in either.

I don't like the idealised idea of friendships and romanticism of mental illness.

>>6306
Yeah I also agree on this, people just see RPG maker with spooky shit and think OH YUME NIKKI????

>>6306
This isn't what Tumblr's like, and it's not what Tumblr was like even when Tumblr was supposedly like that. Out of everyone in that image, three are cartoons, and the other three are people from various YouTube videos.

The irony of this is that trying to defend the purity of "the community" against some perceived threat- that is, fandom slapfighting- is far closer to something you might see on Tumblr than anything in that image, as is contrarian criticism of "uwu" softboy culture and complaining about "idealising friendships" and "romanticising mental illness", for that matter.

People who have no idea what they're talking about should avoid making images. I hate how all the brainpower has been bled off chans.

>>6309
It's a MEME, Batman, also they are in the wrong board, that's a fact, now go back to Tumblr.

>>6310
It's a meme, but it's fucking wrong. Speaking of Tumblr, would you care to guess where my latest piece of GIS YN fanart came from?

>>6311
Go back to tumblr.

>>6312
Go to Google and search "yume nikki" site:tumblr.com. You will get, by my count, about 83,000 results. Then, search "omori" site:tumblr.com. You will get about 55,000 results.

By sheer weigh of content, by what actually exists on the real, physical Tumblr servers, a naive (yet still empirically valid) estimate might be that Yume Nikki is around 156% more "Tumblr" than Omori. Moreover, there are posts from seven years ago, on Tumblr, which reference Uboachan itself, in the context of posting on Uboachan. If we are to take "people on Tumblr like this thing" to mean the same thing as "this thing 'is Tumblr'", then we cannot but conclude that not only is Yume Nikki "Tumblr", but there are also serious suspicions to be had about this very site itself.

Your position, as I understand it, is that discussion of this game is an unwelcome intrusion of a foreign culture upon a totally distinct and unrelated one. My reply is that you're complaining about tacos to a bunch of Mexicans. If you must have purity, then by all means– close this tab.

>>6312
At least be more original than that

>>6309

mind you what site popularized fucking emoji pronouns?

>>6315
please address >>6313

>>6313
This thread is in the wrong board.
Your tacos are rotten.
This isn't related to Yume Nikki at all.
I am right.
You are wrong.
Go back to Tumblr.

>>6313
Nah ill defend this, i think its a good point

>>6318
Why? Because the guy doesn't realize it's not 2010 anymore and tumblr picked it up along with every other site and Omoshit had an immensely smaller impact?

It's nothing but a rather dishonest attempt to keep the discussion rolling over a thread that shouldn't even be here.

>>6319
Not defending the thread, I never played the game dont know anything about it. I just think the post makes a good point.

>>6319
anon you aren't uboachan. stop being gay, you don't decide what gets to be here. now let the adults discuss this masterpiece in peace

>>6321
Boy I don't need to be Uboachan to know Omori doesn't belong in the YNFG board.
The bait would be better if you didn't call it a masterpiece, work on that Anon, here's your bite though because I like you.

>>6321
pardon me if I'm wrong, but isn't this game /og/ material? It doesn't seem to be Yume nikki fangame at all

>>6317
In order to prove that this is not a Yume Nikki fangame - and thereby not "on topic", you must first establish criteria for what a Yume Nikki fangame is and then establish that this game does not meet them. Otherwise, your claim - that this is not a Yume Nikki fangame - will be at best unproven and at worst false.

You have done neither of these things. Due credit: you appear to have at least attempted, in a very backhanded and evasive way, to do the first - the criterion you tacitly attempted to assert was that Omori is tainted with "Tumblr" in a way that Yume Nikki was not. However, even in this, you fucked up, because not only did you fail to address the surplus of Yume Nikki content on Tumblr and what it meant for the criterion you attempted to smuggle in through the back, you went on to say that Omori had, and I quote, an immensely smaller impact - this impact being, presumably, on Tumblr. That is to say that you admit, in your own words, that Tumblr cares less about Omori than Yume Nikki, meaning that you have yourself denied your original position, whatever it meant.

Did you simply misspeak? Or is it the case, perhaps, that you don't know what the fuck you're talking about and never did?

I'm going to attempt to re-rail this thread by moving it to /og/ and asking us to stop arguing about whether or not it's a YN fangame, and talk about the game instead.

I used to understand why people were so upset about other communities like Tumblr enjoying the things we enjoy, but I forgot / don't really care anymore. We are a Yume Nikki fansite; if they like it, let them come.

Omori looks pretty good and I have been meaning to play it.

>>6325
Here Sei I made you a more fitting train image to represent your general experience here.

>>6326
This is apt.

>>6322
I have something to add, if I may, that is germane not necessarily to the topic of this thread, but to this argument and the state of the site.

Chans are in a sorry way. Very few people produce OC, and what little there is typically amounts to asinine caricatures of the "I Am Silly" type: clipart designed to "win" arguments through manipulation of the lowest common denomination of user. Usage has declined and chans are slower - many have simply gone under. I can't speak to why other people have chosen to stop using chans, nor why they've chosen to stop contributing to them. I speak only for myself when I say: it's you.

Your posting style is not designed to convey information. It is not designed to clearly and unambiguously establish your position. It is not designed even to entertain. What it's made to do, above all else, is get your way. Is Omori "Tumblr", any moreso than Yume Nikki? Of course not. Yume Nikki is a game about an alienated girl who never leaves the house and has an affinity for bizarre aesthetics. This describes one of Tumblr's primary demographics. But the utility of mentioning Tumblr is not in describing anything - which is why you used "Tumblr", instead of an actual adjective with a real definition. The utility of mentioning Tumblr is in evoking a tribal reaction from the (stupidest parts of) the audience, who will then defend you to the death, because they believe, like poorly trained dogs barking at the mailman, that you're their guy and your interlocutor is not. You are, properly speaking, not an argumentator at all, but a rhetorician.

The difference between argument and rhetoric is that the former proves and the latter persuades. This means that the latter doesn't have to be correct - as you aren't correct, insofar as your "position" doesn't have enough semantic content to have a truth value. This has the handy side effect of making it so that the rhetorician - you - never has to admit that he can be wrong.

Since popularity is the most efficient means of persuasion, this means that in 2021 any engagement with a chan means engagement with a popularity contest run by those who are the best at appealing to authority - that is, sucking up to jannies and mods - and voted on by those who are good at being popular and not getting voted off - scum and nonentities. You have taken the most promising communications format in the past 20 years and reduced it to the level of a fucking phpBB forum. Fuck you.

>>6329
Hey, wheres the like button on this website?

Just kidding, lol. Its worth noting I dont think anyone here was coming to his defense. Just one anon throwing a temper tantrum.

>>6329
So you want to extend this now? Despite the admin stepping in to ask for a ceasefire? and I'm the villain?

>>6330
Please let's agree to disagree and continue the thread normally I'm not gonna read all that.

>>6313
Yume Nikki has been around for years. Omori was released just over a year ago.
Omori has become more than half as popular as YN on Tumblr in a year than YN has in more than a decade.

Not a fangame. Also, ew.

>>6403
it's not "omori" in the pee sense, you idiot
