bro ranked saya no uta as more disturbing than a first person shooter that was published on mlk day of remembrance by a neo nazi group where the player kills black characters that make monkey noises btw
disturbing video games iceberg!!!!! too extreme for youtube!!!! lost media!!!!!! and it's an eroge that can easily be found on the surface web if u do more than 5 minutes of googling

im not gonna lie i think a scientist giving me a full body examination and muttering “fascinating…” under their breath and rubbing my tummy with their gloved hands and writing notes about their findings on me would fix me
psychological horror games about disturbed and traumatized characters are palatable to western audiences until a character's sexuality is disturbed, too.
idk why gratuitous violence and insanity are staples of the genre but sexual deviance is "too far".
how i feel after an hour of downloading, deleting and messing with multiple copies of the same game files and ultimately giving up in the end because i couldn't get them to work (i am a complete moron)
every 2 years or so i new blog or instagram account pops up trying to bring back dmmd confessions but nobody can ever capture the magic of the original. here's a thread of my personal favs
lamento beyond the void (2006) english aarinfantasy fantranslation is now archived. i haven't recorded a tutorial but just make sure your system locale is in jp, unzip the folder and open "lamento -beyond the void-.exe" to play. it's nearly 4gb
i've decided to release the script of what i've translated from jisatsu no tame no 101 no houhou so far. it's nearly 15,000 words and covers roughly an hour or so of gameplay. feel free to read and let me know your thoughts!
English fan translation announcement:
Slow Damage: Clean Dishes (mobile game)
This is going to be one of my side projects. I'm going to work on translating Clean Dishes while Jisatsu 101 scripts are being reviewed by my editor.
update! scans for
- sayonara wo oshiete official art & material book
- saya no uta / tenshi no nichou kenjuu ~angelos armas~ official art book
are now up for viewing and download on the denpa archive 📡🥩
if you genuinely think a character can experience a life-changing trauma (especially if it's romantic or sexual in nature) and come out the other side without a damaged sexuality then you have no idea how trauma works
just opened one last round of preorders for yaoi jesus and yuri jesus rosary keychains 🙏 thank you for the support on aoba and madoka. preorders open from july 15 to august 15 2024.
🔗:
"i love cannibalism yaoi" "cannibalism is a metaphor for love"
oh but nobody swoons when koujaku bites aoba's dick off. some of you guys are fakejoshis...
"i can't believe saya no uta and madoka magica were written by the same person🤢" i could write an entire novel about how thematically identical they are but you aren't ready for that conversation
in other news, i'm interested in tabling at convention artist alleys so i drew up some concepts for denpa-themed acrylic keychains :3 i'm waiting on proofs in the mail rn
loving reminder that religious imagery is heavily used in official dmmd art. everyone is inspired by others, it's ok to create what you want within the confines of your original artistic flavor :3
not engaging with this kind of argument bc it's dumb but in the context of "horrible video games", eroge is not nearly as bad as a game made and sold exclusively by hate groups that depict hateful violence against minorities. tweets and films are not the same i fear
@loogamie
@denpaarchivist
I mean worse in what sense? Obviously the propaganda is worse morally for the world or whatever but the eroge is definitely more disturbing. Like, to propose a similar question: What's more disturbing, A Serbian Film or a tweet of a guy saying black people are subhuman?
kinda depressing to see people that are like i love denpa visual novels no i don't like saya no uta i hate sayo oshi jisatsu 101 is bad suba hibi is disgusting shizuku is horrible.
... i don't think you like denpa at all
the dead internet theory is only true if you let it be true. personal sites, forums, browser games, art galleries, digital archives and more are still *very* much alive! you just have to use a search engine to find them.
tiktok removing a lot of music and becoming temu 2.0, twt being ran by a child, pinterest being nothing but ads, instagram, and youtube not having anything new and interesting. all i got is reddit, wikipedia, and random forums from 2007.
normies finding one of your favorite visual novels is bittersweet because it's wonderful to share and contribute sales to a work you love but that also comes with TERRIBLE character fan interpretations and unfunny memes
jisatsu 101's portrayal of schizophrenia is the most accurate i've seen in a visual novel before.
schizography, or "schizo writing", is the habit of excessive writing that explains, amplifies, and/or reiterates one's delusions. it's a very real symptom that many suffer from.
would any artists be interested in doing a redraw (dtiys?) of this denpa-tan pic... i'd like to do something special to celebrate the denpa archive's 1 year anniversary but i'm not sure what to do.
just received some aoba charms and restocks for lain and saya! except this time i Fucked Up and ordered lain and saya too big (official deka acrylic for comparison)
seriously though a lot of western fujos didn't like this manga bc the uke is physically and mentally disabled and "can't consent" but guys...what if i told you that disabled people willingly fall in love like everyone else...shocking i know...
ok fine i'll say it. some eroge don't need 50 minute long video essays explaining how super deep and complex the h scenes are. sometimes a cigar is just a cigar and it's fine to like nukige without jumping through all those intellectual hoops.
fujotwt be like:
- industry plant tweet with a picture from dmmd or slow damage
- fujoshi discourse
- yaoi meme
- someone who actually likes BL
- industry plant tweet again
- another industry plant tweet
- fiction discourse
- someone who actually likes BL
it's interesting that dmmd, a visual novel with many "degenerate" plot points (selfcest, incest, noncon, toxic yaoi) cultivated a fandom that produced relatively tame user callouts compared to fandoms like osomatsu-san and undertale.
my least favorite type of animecore fanart has gotta be the kind where it's painfully obvious that it's been made with the intent of getting likes because of how mischaracterized the subjects are
on to the topic of vocaloidsー idk if this is just me being snooty and autistic but i don't like perfected voicebanks and tuning that sound lifelike. the robotic quality of earlier voicebanks + marketing of a "digital idol" is what interested me in the first place
@CabbageSlayyer
they had a yaoi olympics panel at metrocon this past year hosted by aoba and it was great 😭 i got a free pin that says “someone i love is a fujin”
anime convention drama is crazy. what do you mean someone plagiarized my yaoi panel?? this is like that time melania trump stole michelle obama's speech but this is more important btw
i like blvns so much because they're never normal slice of life stories. it's always some wacky setting like a post apocalyptic cyberpunk world where everyone is a cat man
@nadecola8
i forget that other people don't know this is common knowledge. every time i see her blurry overexposed saya selfies on my feed every few years i think oh. Her again
@MoonMothTsuki
no for real, out of all the fantastical elements in dmmd (designer babies, mind control, an augmented reality game where if you die in the game you die in real life), aoba picking just one boyfriend is the most difficult for fans to believe
updated dl links for the denpa archive are now live.
titles include odeon (2001), jisatsu no tame no 101 no houhou (2001), tsui no sora (1999), suki suki daisuki! (1998), and shizuku (1996)

i believe that mink never "warmed up" to aoba but actually always cared for aoba since the beginning which is why he tried so hard to push him away with abuse tactics
