After you open the drawer to pick up the utensils, you notice the knob getting looser than before.
[ignore it for one more day]
[fix it today -2 energy -15min]Oh no! After trying for 30 min, looks like you need a new knob after all!
[go to hardware store −30 min −$8]
[use the cap of a recently emptied detergent bottle]
[accept that you need to open it with a pair of pliers now]Pliers it is, then.
You’ve been successfully using pliers to pull the drawer open by the missing knob’s screw.
Uh-oh! You left the drawer ajar in a pinch, forgot about it, and then caught your favorite sweatpants on the screw, making an ugly hole! And you don’t have gray thread to match!
[go buy new sweatpants - 12$ - 25 minutes]
[go buy matching gray thread - 1.30$ - 1h]
[use a different thread - 8 minutes]
[continue with the hole in your sweatpants]
[tape a brick onto the hole to cover it up - 3 minutes]
We could have had a wholesome game, and you had to go make it a soulslike.
i have been exhaling through my nose for 3 minutes now, this is very funny.
like really, wow… like - the idea of just nothing of note happening in a visual novel… thats good.
not even like - going into the whole the world is awful and boring angle, but just genuinely being about completely normal people going to work, sometimes going out to some restaurant and maybe some other time reading a book-…
like - unrealistically normal, u kno?
this is genuinely the funniest thing i have seen in multiple months
Conspicuously mundane life as a new genre of psychological thriller
Or just mundane as an isekai for people lacking such normalcy around them.
Reverse Isekai! A battle hardened warrior wakes up to find himself in the suburbs of Columbus, Ohio. He quickly learns that the skills of an adventurer don’t translate into a profession so easily here and tries to make the best of this new life.
Hiro Protagonist, slayer of the Demon King, savior of Kvatch, rescuer of princess What’s her Name.
Depending on their fighting skills, they could have a relatively easy time as martial arts teachers (martial art = anything fighting related). Their troubles would arise from the whole “why does society work like this?”
Back in the day of DOS and such, there were multiple ‘economic simulator’ games about the daily loop of a typical abstract worker. With the actions like ‘go to work’, ‘pay rent’, ‘go see a movie’, etc. With the management of money, hunger, and boredom, and usually with a prospect of getting a better apartment and a better-paying job. These games were very simple, but surprisingly widespread.
If someone made this I bet it would do okay. Like a tiny bit viral. Not like ddlc but like a popular joke title amongst vn fans. Maybe class of 09 level
The KFC dating sim was great. This would also be great, for completely opposite and equally wonderful reasons.
[Go ahead and have another slice of cheese]
[Yes please]
takes a slice of chese and places it on the bread on my plateomg I haven’t had a wild smorty sighting in a while - glad you’re still around 💖
[Would you like to join us at the dinner table? We have potato salad! Would you like some?]
aw, thanks for inviting me - I would love some potato salad! 😊
is the visual novel for normal people or about normal people?
also… why is it meaningless?
this is hilarious.
like wow, genuinely.
its like salamander county but… not interesting… which makes it incredibly funny >//v//<
like gosh, how is this not a thing yet? this is an amazing idea!
(highly recommend salamander county btw, u can also just watch a playthrough, thats enoguh to “experience” it. its a shorter game)
enoguh
😩

The awful JPG artifact around the old man’s transparency is the cherry
No no no, this is hilarious
I kinda like the 1990’s video point and click vibe.

Since always. normal = standard = predictable = boring Q.E.D.
