  • The short version is he’s using the gun wrong.

    The longer version is an AR-15 has a button on it (the thing he’s pulling in the pic) that is used to fix a very specific problem (specifically making sure that the bolt of the gun is fully closed, because otherwise if you fire it the gun will malfunction). In counterstrike 1.6, all the characters used that button essentially as the guns slide, which you use to put a round in the chainber to be fired (the same way the action hero pumps a shotgun with a click clack to make sure you know he means business).

    So the title is sarcastic, because someone pulling on the forward assist like it’s a slide has no idea what the fuck they’re doing.


  • Have you played other visual novels? Spending some time in those may help you recognize the tropes of the genre, and then when you see them in DDLC, you’ll know what not to expect since that game is specifically subverting expectations.

    As other people have said though, DDLC is very intentionally somewhat upsetting, and there’s nothing wrong with looking up a short synopsis to understand what to expect before deciding for yourself.


  • A friend of mine gifted me a copy of Island Adventure as what I thought was a gag gift. Well, we’re 10 hours is at this point and it’s actually really fun! Great game if you’re looking for something easy when it’s too late to play something sweaty but too early to call it a night.










  • I work at a call center for insurance stuff and regularly have people start the call with ‘REPRESENTATIVE’ or ‘SPEAK TO A HUMAN’ because they think I’m still a part of the IVR system. One thing to keep in mind with any call center, is that no matter how specific you feel like your problem is, that rep has said that exact same line thousands of times, probably a few times that same day. For a lot of issues, it’s the same thing, just swap some names and numbers. And when you say the same thing over and over, you get really good at communicating the exact information that someone needs with as few of the little imperfections that’s make a conversation sound ‘human’ as possible.




  • I mean, a lot of roleplayers don’t… It’s definitely pathetic, but like of all the reasons it is, not responding in first person is a weird one to single out XD

    Just my two cents of course

    Edit : And actually looking back at the picture, the prompter themselves even describes their action as [He] takes her hand, not [I] take your hand, so it makes even more sense for the AI to be doing the same.
