Has anyone heard of Higurashi's obscure GBA port?

Back in 2005, the Question Arcs for Higurashi were ported to Game Boy Advance, albeit, in a super weird way different from how most games were released on the system. Through a program, the game files of Higurashi's Question Arcs could be converted into a GBA rom, allowing the VN to be playable on the system. Other than that, I can't find many screenshots or additional information about this piece of (potentially) lost Higurashi media. Does anybody else know more about this port?

What characters from your fandom are complete monsters?

There's antagonists, then there's villains, then there are these guys, characters who are completely devoid of any redeeming qualities or morality. Being a simple jerk or villain with sympathetic motives aren't enough, these characters are just evil for the sake of it, committing horrible atrocities without even the slightest sense of remorse. For the sake of this discussion, try to keep personal bias to a minimum, so don't just list characters because you dislike them. Hell, you can even list characters you personally like while still acknowledging them to be horrible people.

  1. Promoter Tamaki (Deadman Wonderland)

  2. Uragami (Parasyte)

  3. Mark Jefferson (Life is Strange)

  4. Chief Brian Irons (Resident Evil)

  5. Dr. Wallace Breen (Half-Life)

  6. Mephiles The Dark (Sonic The Hedgehog)

  7. William Afton (Five Nights at Freddy's)

Regardless of how you feel about TADC, comparing Goose to someone who actively harms trans people is bullshit.

Saw this thumbnail on my home page, and it's been bothering me (CW: Mentions of rape & SA)

The title is self-explanatory, this video popped up on my YouTube home page, and it reminded me of how shallow a lot of the criticisms directed towards Angel Dust's arc are. I watched a little bit of the vid myself, and did try watching to the end, but I just couldn't.

So basically, OOP stated that Angel's demeanor and experiences as a sex worker makes his role more suitable for a female character. To be honest, I couldn't disagree with this take more. Regardless of how well Hazbin handles its themes of rape/SA or the actual quality of the show's writing itself, don't you think it's a little weird that some will disregard how horribly Angel gets abused just because of his gender?

I'm AMAB, and a victim of CSA, so this video really had me question if I myself am a poor representation of SA victims because of my sex. Reading the comments of the vid only exacerbated that feeling. However, to claim that male characters can't be abuse victims is a really shitty thing to do, and downplays the fact that, yes, there are men in real life who do get abused, whether physically, emotionally, or sexually. This doesn't have much to do with the Hellaverse itself, and this is a personal thing, but I hate feeling like crap for relating to the show's characters, like I'm only perpetuating stereotypes or false conceptions of trauma.

Is it weird that I zig-zag between subs and dubs?

I've been an avid anime watcher for a little more than a year now, and in that time, I've come across several 'subbed versus dubbed' debates. Usually, there are those who will always watch anime dubbed, then there's the other side that absolutely refuses to view anything that isn't in the original Japanese audio. These arguments often have little-to-no middle ground, and opinions are extremely split.

Then there's me, who enjoys watching anime regardless of the audio or version. However, there are times where I deliberately choose one audio track over the other, and it comes down to personal preference. For example, I always watch Death Note in its English dub, because the performances of the VAs are just that iconic and memorable. Same thing applies to Cowboy Bebop, Berserk, and most Dragon Ball installments.

There are just as many anime I prefer subbed, and me prefering one over the other is based on a variety of factors. Am I crazy for doing this, or is there anyone who also switches?

Is having one friend really too much to ask?

For the sake of context, a few days ago, I had a mental breakdown and needed help from one of my online friends. I needed reassurance that I wasn't alone in my struggles, that there could be someone, even just one person, who would empathize with and understand my situation. I was practically begging for some form of comfort, no matter how small, and that person, who previously said they'd always be there to help me, blocked me without saying anything.

I've genuinely started to lose hope that I'll ever make any friends, and living with an emotionally abusive father hasn't made things easier. I feel so alone and undeserving of love or affection.

Where can I find the DVD release?

I've seen some posts on this sub, where users show their physical copy of the Happy Sugar Life anime. I tried looking for this release on Amazon, but all I could find was a Japanese boxset that's way out of my price range. It also had a completely different box art for the cover, so I'm guessing this isn't the version most users here shared.

Can anybody please help me find this specific release of the anime; I'd really appreciate it, and it'd also be great to own this series physically.

Games/VNs/Anime like Corpse Party?

I recently got into the Corpse Party series, and I've been loving it, Blood Covered has even become one of my all-time favorite video games. There aren't many games that're like this, it's very unique in its atmosphere and horror.

I was wondering what kind of games are similar to Corpse Party, as well as some other media like it. Some of the few examples I can think of are Higurashi, Silent Hill, Clock Tower, and Another. I have a generally varied taste in media, so I'm not picky about what I'll play, so suggest whatever you'd like.
