Hello, Vivian! Connor here. I hope you're doing well! I recently found out that RetroSpring is unfortunately shutting down on March 1st of next year. I was just wondering what you're going to be doing for any future questionnaires in the future. Thanks! I hope you and Bri have a good one!
Hi there! I heard about retrospring shutting down too. After that, I'm sure there will be other sites. I guess I'll just wait and see which one more people use. Thank you for asking!
are you planning to play the vn soulcreek at some point?
Hi there! Yes, soulcreek is on my to-play list! I'm just so behind that I have no idea when I'll get to it. Thank you for asking!
Hello, Vivian! Connor here. I saw your tweet on X / Twitter which made me worry. It said: "I don't want to die anymore. But I don't want to live like this anymore, either." Is everything okay?
Hi Connor! I'm sorry I worried you. I appreciate your concern! I'm struggling rn, not gonna lie. But I'll make it. Thanks for checking in!
Hello, Vivian! This is Connor. I was just wondering if YouTubers can give a like to their videos. I'm asking because I got some mixed responses. Thanks in advance!☺️👍
Hello! Physically, it is possible to click 'like' on your own videos. Whether it is socially acceptable, that varies on who you ask. Personally, I didn't think it's a big deal. It's 1 extra like, so it's not like it's adding a lot. Thank you for asking!
Hello, Vivian! This is Connor. As a gay kid growing up in the South, it wasn't always easy for me growing up. My Dad used to be homophobic, but he learned a lot over time. To this day, I'm trying to live my life without living in fear over what other people think of me. Because I'm scared of being hated, or not being liked. I was just wondering if you have any advice. Thank You!☺️👍
Hi Connor! I'm sorry you had a rough childhood. Not feeling welcome in your own home is a horrid feeling. As for how to deal with the fear of being hated and people not liking you, if I'm honest, I struggle with that a lot too. I think most people do, even if they don't realize it. There's some comfort in that, if everyone is worried about what others think, then we at least have that in common. But at the root of it all, the best thing I can say about this would be that the thoughts and feelings of others affect you only as much as you let them, barring mental illness and trauma. If people actually don't like you, their actions will say so. But if you pre-worry about it, then you're guaranteed to experience that hatred, even if that person doesn't actually hate you. Worse still, on the small chance that someone has a dislike for you, that pre-worry just makes you experience it twice, once before the person says so, and then again when it actually comes up. I don't have an easy way to avoid that harmful pre-worry, which turns every small thing into a sign of an illusionary bigger problem. But maybe having some perspective on what is causing that feeling can help? Odds are, most people are more interested in their own lives than in taking the time to actively hate you. But that pre-worry makes it feel like it's already happening. Maybe if you can take time to evaluate where that feeling is coming from, whether it is from someone's actions, or if it's from that pre-worry, then hopefully a lot of the feelings of being disliked will be revealed as being hollow and not based in anything. I hope that helps, and that you can get to feeling better! I'm rooting for you!
Do you plan to continue playing burrows?
Absolutely! As soon as I can, I want to get back to several games, including Burrows!
Dream scenario: You get to make a VN crossover game! (A la Kingdom Hearts) What are you picking for your worlds and your party members?
THIS IS SO FUN-Ok, so, for worlds, I'm thinking you could have Glory Hounds, Burrows, Temptation's Ballad, Adastra, The Hayseed Knight, Echo (time travel gimmick to allow all eras), Nekojishi, Clawstar, and The Pirate's Fate. I think that covers a wide range of genres! As for my party, I'm picking Dawn Hound and Eina! That's a team that's gonna kick some serious ass!
The partners you could choose from every world would be: Glory Hound's Dawn Hound, Burrows' Grey, Temptation's Ballad's Cole, Adastra's Amicus, The Hayseed Knight's Eina, Echoverse's William, Nekojishi's Likulau, Clawstar's Elijah, and The Pirate Fate's Mila.
Also, here's the summon I think you would get from each world: Glory Hounds would give Milo, Burrows would give Ken, Temptation's Ballad would give Hamish and Marrow Bonebreaker, Adastra would give Neferu, The Hayseed Knight would give Gyof, Echo would give the electric socket monster, Nekojishi would give Guardian Tiger, Clawstar would give Tremor, and The Pirate's Fate would give Darious.
What genre do you prefer more in VNs- sci-fi or fantasy? Assuming the same level of quality, of course.
I've seen more of fantasy than sci-fi, so that might skew it, but I'd say fantasy for now. But I love sci-fi, too!
Hey Vivian hope you are doing well. My question for you would be about Repeat - What do you think of reading it again? You are probably aware of a lot of new stuff thrown there in last few years - new main characters sprites, some rewrites, new beautiful CCs and LORE!
Absolutely! I feel like I will always come back to Repeat in one way or another. I've loved seeing Shirokoi's work progress over the years! I'm very proud of him.
You have so much experience with FVNs, dis you ever consider to create your own? How it'll look like?
I've had several ideas over the years! I've played with Ren'Py a bit. I'm kinda scared to do it, tbh. I feel like I have years of karma built up that would hit me the moment I put something out there, from all of the time I have spent commenting on other people's content.
Any furry VNs are you gonna go back to play?(to continue/finish them or give them a second chance after many updates?)
Absolutely! A bunch, if I ever get the time! I wanna finish EA, The Hayseed Knight, Where the Demon Lurks, Temptation's Ballad, The Smoke Room, Repeat, Katawa Shoujo, Wolfstar, Not It, Lyre, Regal Tails, and Wicked Willow. I want to revisit Endless Bounty, Tennis Ace, Roll for Romance, Clawstar, Winds of Change, Santa Lucia, Password, Khemia, Interia, Homecoming Morenatsu Revisited, After Class, Kingsguard, 9:22, Familiar Travels, and Socially Awkward. I got a lot of plans and not a lot of time to do it!
What are the most emotionally impactful moments you've experienced while reading VNs?
Oh, there's been lots. Just thinking off the top of my head, Coach Grifter's near death experience, the cafe falling on Jinny, Leo's bad ending, the assault in Chester's route, the Coach Grifter finale, our death in Adastra, Jun's bad end, Murdoch's confession, Mark's flashforward, and probably so many more that I'm not thinking of right now! It's been a hell of a ride!
S t I n k y ?
Hi Bri. Love you too.
Do you have some favorite songs in the game OSTs you've played?
Oh, definitely! A few that stick out immediately are the opening themes to The Hayseed Knight, Burrows, and Glory Hounds.
I love your videos! You inspired me to play FVNs myself. It's a shame that your videos are more scarce nowaday but I understand that running a youtube channel is hard work and you have your own personal life to take care of as well. Have a nice rest of the winter and enjoy the beginning spring.
Thank you very much! I'm glad you got into FVN's! Also, thank you for your understanding! I hope you enjoy your seasons too!
