I gave up. I got filtered by everything after hiragana and katakana. The smug bitch was right, I'll never learn.

As someone who has played well over 100 visual novels, Umineko is still the best one. Yes, better than Muramasa, Steins;Gate, White Album 2, Muv-Luv Alternative, Utawarerumono, Tsukihime, Dies Irae, Little Busters, Fate/Stay Night, Clannad, Baldr Sky and even Rance. There are things that these other works excel at, but if you can get over the fact that Ryukishi's prose is mediocre you will find that he has genuinely genius ideas in his magnum opus, although they're not always presented in the best way. As an example, the concept of the Red Truth is already more profound in its implications than anything Muramasa desperately tries to show off in its spectacular presentation.

Not that any of this matters since this thread will soon devolve into shitflinging by the usual suspects.

I can't go this year because ICE will probably detain me for being European

People move on, anon. You are a good person for still remembering them though. If they have any cosplay photos, get a physical copy and keep it as a memory for them, even if their profile gets wiped.
