[Vitamin X Evolution Plus] please explain the gameplay to me...

i've started Nanase's route and only 2 hours later noticed there's a tsukkomi mechanic. how am i supposed to know when to use it and how to choose between "tsukkomi" and "through"? why are there two backlog types? how will i skip read text in later playthroughs if i might miss the tsukkomi moments? how many endings are in a route? what else should i know? i don't want to use a guide

i'm so sad that i won't be able to play multiplayer games

i tried groove on my lite. and the game actually recognizes the taiko hori drum as a controller. no drumming though, it only recognizes its buttons. but it asks for another controller and the lite buttons don't count. i'm heartbroken because not only i don't have anything other than the lite and the drum, i also don't have anyone who would play with me even if i bought joycons... i wanted to play that rpg multiplayer game so much

games with the best use of microphone, two screens, internal clock and other features?

the only games i know are the world ends with you where you have to watch two screens at once and play with buttons and the stylus at the same time and love plus+ where you have to set the date and actually show up or else the girl will get angry and you'll have to apologize by speaking into the microphone. are there any others like this? i know japanese so if a game doesn't have an english patch, that's not a problem

my birthday is soon. what should i ask for?

26F but mentally more like 14. i think i've already bought everything i ever wanted. i collect dolls and videogames so it would be easy to ask for something like that. but all these gifts just end up on the shelf, not bringing me any happiness. so i want a gift that i can use for the entire next year. it should be bright and childish enough to make my birthday feel like a celebration. i absolutely have no idea what to ask for...

an extreme fear of doctors

26f. my family wants me to visit an eye doctor and get glasses. and i know i need them because I can't read japanese kanji from my tv screen if I don't sit down on the floor in front of the tv. but just a thought about visiting a doctor makes me terrified.

when i was a child, the only way to make me go to a doctor was kicking me until I start moving (yes, I know that's abuse). I could stop and refuse to move or talk until someone kicks me or start crying and screaming until I'm back home. even if the doctor was someone safe, for example the one who will just look at my feet and not use any needles or other scary things. I stopped visiting doctors because the fear never went away

no one will kick me now that I'm an adult. and the logical part of my brain knows that an eye doctor will just make me look at things through some machine. but i still feel like a scared child from back then. I know I might stand still or start crying like back then - just the thought of visiting a doctor made me cry today.

I need to find a way to make myself do it. the only idea I have is to take my comfort plushie and tell the doctor that I absolutely need it. if the doctor laughs at me, that's okay. I will never see them again. but my family will be there to drive me to the clinic. going without them is not an option. if they see me reacting like this or clutching the plushie... or even taking it outside of the house, they will never shut up about it. they don't know I have a phobia or that I might be autistic. to them I'm weird and "not right in the head". I need to prevent these reactions somehow. any ideas?

I was so worried she wouldn't like TMNT

I'm autistic and I use rhythm games to prevent meltdowns. previously Ensemble Stars and Project Sekai were perfect but there are problems with internet access in my country so I need offline games.

what i've already tried:

deemo: the piano sounds are making it hard to play. I would prefer a clicking sound. also the background is white and it doesn't help me to distract myself. I need something to happen on the background. or, if the background is static, the notes should be big and bright enough to distract me

arcaea: perfect but "you need to be online to unlock songs" and trying to login doesn't work

cytus 2: perfect but crashes

milthm: not enough songs but otherwise awesome

any other games I can try?

my friend wants me to play utapri. I remember seeing a list of jp otome and their difficulty and utapri had 5 stars. I've finished the anime and nothing there seemed too difficult to understand. so what should I get ready for and is it really that bad?

I'm really happy with how they look. the game is asking me to add expressions for the characters - when they're sad, happy, angry, sleeping, etc. can someone please write some quotes from the game? not only for Ikki and Kent - I have all the LIs and the MC in tomodachi life. i played Amnesia years ago and don't remember much of what they were saying

SPOILERS for London Detective Mysteria

I hate this game and especially the MC. but one of the scenes still doesn't leave my head even years later. I don't remember the route. so the MC >!got depressed for some reason and didn't leave her house. everyone got worried about her and decided they should make her go out... by starting a fire near her house so that she would have to go outside and check what is burning. she woke up at night because of smoke and thought her house is burning. also, if I remember correctly, she lost her parents in a fire when she was little.!< I seriously wonder who thought it was a good idea to write a situation like this one. this is WAY too cruel and unnecessary.

I get that otome games are usually not as dark as other VNs and this scene will probably seem like nothing to most people here but I really can't stop thinking about it.

what scenes in other VNs made you think the same?
