O/ I'm coffeentacos

Hey all, I’m coffeentacos, pronouns are he/him. I’m a library technician in my late 30s who has a lot of interests and hobbies, which makes it hard to give them all the time I’d like to (which definitely includes VNs). I’m here thanks to seeing a repost of pixel’s post about this on mastodon (mine is here).

I think the first VN I encountered was maybe Ever17 back in the early 00s via fan translation. First I read was Planetarian, then 999 and the silly Disgaea VN on PSP, though I didn’t get that you were meant to go through multiple routes in those until much later. One of my faves may very well still be 428: Shibuya Scramble. Adore the way it unfolds and has you piece things together. Honestly I’ve got more I want to read than what I’ve read, so hoping this helps achieve that!

As for genres, so long as it’s doing something interesting, I can enjoy it. High on my list of things I want to play are Aokana, Higurashi, Sea Bed, and Utawarerumono. (maybe I’ll suggest some of these :smiley: )

Nice to meet y’all and hope we get along!

Playing right at my heartstrings with Planetarian, it’s such a good story.

So do I, and that’s exactly what I made this for :eyes:

Good to have you here! And feel free to drop all your suggestions that you have, the more the merrier!

428 felt to me that sometimes you have to pick illogical choices to progress forward. Thankfully game explains what you did wrong.

I can see that in a few instances, yeah. Not quite old adventure game obtuse but some things were in that region. I just love the way it all comes together and the way you’re exploring the timelines and how they interact with each other.
