/yn/ - Yume Nikki General

I'm here, anon. There's still plenty of us around.

I'll always have a soft spot for Yume Nikki. Yume Nikki and Uboachan literally changed my life multiple times. Things would have been very different for me. And of course it had a huge and lasting impact on my sense of aesthetic and the kinds of stories I enjoy. Sometimes I still boot it up to show to friends.

I still like YN, it never really left me since playing it in 2008. I have also quietly collected people's self published works and handmade things for a while.

I remember playing it for the first time and just finding it boring. At the time I was more fast paced and prefered more action oriented games and multiplayer games so I quickly dropped YN. Now the game and the aesthetic grew on me. I can say it won't be leaving me now. I'll boot it (or a fangame) every once in a while when I have nothing else to do. I especially appreciate the music. Have a few in my playlist.

Is there something wrong with them?

>What should be done about the current zoomer problem this fandom has?
That happens everywhere, it's not just this game's fanbase, and what to do about it? Nothing, it's just strangers posting cringe on the internet, just ignore and move on, the Yume Nikki&fangames thing stopped being an obscure niche a very long time ago.

Quite a lot, these things are very dangerous in hands of stupid people and we're talking about teenagers here. The world is a fucked up place with people who give terrible advice to kids.

I still listen to the ost from time to time whenever I'm forced to do things I don't want to do. It's a nice game that's like comfort for me. That being said,I don't pay attention to a lot of stuff but I will say stay off social media if you want to still be sane.

i know what you mean. the zoomers that listen to bladee and ecco2k, draw/retweet "dark but ironic" anime images, and type like irony is the only thing their brain is capable of spewing. they're annoying as fuck and only into yume nikki because wacky anime drug aesthetic. they'll fuck off eventually once their shit is out of style in a few years, but for now i just grin and bear it

It's really hard to find dedicated fans in these types of games. I remember seeing art of drugged out mado long before I knew what Yume Nikki was, and I just thought it was edgy for the sake of edginess. Sadly, it still holds true.
Thankfully I don't see those edgy kids too often. On twitter, it's usually just people posting yn art and people replying "wow ur based"
Shit, I remember being in an edgy phase in early middle school. I can't bear to think about how fuck-off stupid I was. Thankfully by eighth grade I changed for the better. I'll be like that for those teen edgelords too. They'll appreciate the game for what it really is, or discover it isn't for them. Just distance yourself from them, and talk with the fans than actually like the game.

Yume Nikki gave me the hobby I like a lot and people on the internet I enjoy to hang out with and obsession over one particular character, and I'm very grateful for that. I've been into the fandom for pretty long time and it had a lot of influence on me. I can no longer imagine myself without that boring walking simulator game and everything surrounding it. This game is definitely took a plenty of space into my soul.

Every barrel of honey has a fly in the ointment. And Yume Nikki fandom is not an exception. There's nothing you can do with it. Just move on.
> or ironic fans who laugh at others who look too deeply into things
I believe I'm one of those, haha.

social media sucks
why is it so bad now

Fuck twitter in particular.
