~ P O L A R I S ~ Posted December 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 He looks very nice! ^_^ I like the bird, the long hair, the heterochromia iridum, the gentle smile, pretty much all of him. :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tourmaline Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 Welp, it seemed to make as much sense to read summaries of the game's events as to read a manga that emulates them in a way that evidently doesn't do justice to the source content. :SIf you ever get your own computer, you should still read the visual novel. The answers to the mystery are only a small part of the whole reward of reading Umineko, which is more of a Schopenhauer/eastern philosophy piece than an actual manga. Not to mention reading a summary of James Joyce's Ulysses will not get you any of the true reward of reading it, which is the allusions, symbolism, overall meaning, look into the author's mind, linguistic genius and artistic enjoyment. I would still push it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~ P O L A R I S ~ Posted December 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 Hope to be able to play it sooner than later. :D Could be a while though. Ah yes, Ulysses. I was made to read it for school, I liked the Irishry of it (being a McShane) and various format switches, but there were points where I couldn't help feel Joyce was a full-of-himself literary masturbator who was desecrating Homer's Odyssey, the Fagles translation of which is my favourite thing I've ever read. I did go on to grapple with the first bits of Finnegans Wake, couldn't say I understood much of it and eventually dropped it but for a while it was lots of fun and made me laugh.

Tourmaline Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 It was just an example for a piece undoubtedly much more than a CONCISE content summary can provide. Insert any beloved piece here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~ P O L A R I S ~ Posted December 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 Understood, I promise to do it properly at some point. All the illusion-deaths are pretty intriguing so I look forward to it. I haven't spoiled too too much of it. :F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tourmaline Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 Did you listen to any of the music from Umineko I showed, by the way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~ P O L A R I S ~ Posted December 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 I shall listen to Clementine and Golden Sneer as soon as I can next access a headphone-equipped workstation! ^_^ (Tomorrow I reckon) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~ P O L A R I S ~ Posted December 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 Absolutely! Which is why it mustn't be allowed to happen! Oh the twilights we'd all undergo. :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Crouton Posted December 15, 2016 Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 Ever watch Blake's 7? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~ P O L A R I S ~ Posted December 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 Alright! Golden Sneer: A pleasant enough piano-harpsichord-strings arrangement, though I grew up hearing too much Bach to afford it too much deference. The 498-0 Youtube like ratio is pretty impressive. Sarah Jaffe's Clementine: A nice raspy country lament, I don't get to hear a lot of country up here and she's a good sample. Here's hoping she gets over her indifference and finds another 50 boys. :P Haven't seen Blake's 7 yet but looked a bit into it and it seems like a cool old-school sci-fi British thing. The Prisoner was another cool show in that type of vein. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tourmaline Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 Fortunately Umineko is good for the eclectic (people are usually impressed by Golden Sneer since Bach isn't an 80s rock staple so it must sound novel to them) because its classical isn't restricted to baroque and harpsichords: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y36TqR7jFs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
