I tried rebooting but it didn.

This game has been gaining a fair amount of attention, perhaps because of Doki Doki Literature Club(which I still need to review), so I thought I'd give it a try. I kind of wish I hadn't.

Firstly, the writing is bad, bad, bad. I'm not sure if the writer is a non-native speaker, but the English often reads very awkwardly, with lots of strange turns of phrase, misused words, and grammatical errors. If you are writing fiction, you need to have a good enough command of the language you're writing in to be able to convey what you want to say accurately – this wasn't achieved here, and may have contributed to the other major issue I had, which was with the nonsensicality of the story as a whole.

In short, the story is boring and pointless. I think the author was going for some kind of edgy, nihilistic vibe, but it just came off as clumsy and childish. The protagonist is instantly hate-able. I have no problem with this if that's who the character is supposed to be – take Makoto in School Days, for example – but the characterization and message here was so confused. At times it felt like the author intended for us to sympathize with the protagonist, all while he continued to act like a vile, abusive garbage person. Stories that force you to empathize with a monster are interesting to me, but this wasn't clever enough to fall into that category, and so we're left with two characters we don't care about, engaging in an un-enthralling sequence of distasteful interactions.

The game is only about an hour and a half long, and to discuss the story and my problems with it any further I'll have to spoil things for you, so…

***SPOILERS BELOW***

So the protagonist is obsessed with a girl he thinks is out to ruin him, but we only have his side of the story, and as things progress even he starts to realize that he may have been wrong about her. Then we come to the 'twist'. The twist is that, BUT WAIT, she WAS actually messing with him all along! But she was messing with him in order to get him to fall in love with her! For some reason! And then she killed herself! So she won the rivalry or something??? Honestly, I could see some good ideas here about obsession and the line between love and hate, but that's all they were – ideas, rather than a coherent theme or narrative. The rest is a splurge of excessive misogyny, pseudo-deep ramblings, and look-I-said-a-swear-word.

As for the protagonist, his 'character arc', if you can call it that, is that he treated a girl horribly and abusively since elementary school, and then ended up in love with her, realizing that perhaps he had been wrong about everything – but then it was all a lie! And so actually he was right to have hated her? I think?

I honestly don't know what it was going for, and that's my main gripe. I like dark stories, and I don't even have anything against stories that put us inside the minds of horrible people, or that make us empathize with them – so long as it's done with skill. Her Lie I Tried To Believe makes me wonder whether it's a) a clumsy attempt at writing for shock value, or b) the author genuinely thought they were writing something relatable.

***END SPOILERS***

To briefly comment on the other aspects of this VN, I actually quite enjoyed the music. The art isn't great, but it serves its purpose as this is more of a kinetic novel in the vein of Higurashi. Unfortunately, that means that the story and writing have to be top-notch to carry it, which – and I think I've already hammered this home – they really aren't.

If I've labored the point in this review that I actually like dark stories, it's because I don't want people to jump to the conclusion that I just can't handle a story about abuse. I can. What I can't handle is boring, badly written VNs. Steer clear of this one.

Summary :

Want to format an external hard drive for Mac and Windows PC? Do you know how to do this work easily? This MiniTool article will show you specific methods to make external hard drive compatible with Mac and PC, which are easy and safe to complete.

Quick Navigation :

As we know, external hard drives are widely used to backup data or interchange files among different computers. Well, is there an external hard drive that could be shared between Mac and Windows PC? Of course, there is. Actually, most external hard disks could be compatible with Mac and PC as long as you format them correctly.

Why Need to Format External Hard Drive for Mac and PC

To put it simply, if you want to share external hard drive between Mac and PC, you need to format an external hard drive for Mac and PC.

Currently, hard drives for Windows PC are always formatted with NTFS, while hard disks for Mac are formatted with HFS+. However, when we connect a NTFS formatted disk to Mac, Mac OS X doesn't allow us to write files to the drive neither edit files, though it can read a NTFS drive. Similarly, Windows OS will ask us to format the HFS+ formatted drive when we connecting such a disk, let along edit files saved on HFS+ formatted hard disks unless we resort to third party programs.

But luckily, there are file systems well supported by both Mac and Windows PC, and they are FAT32 (it might be called MS-DOS on Mac) and exFAT. As long as we format the external hard drive to one of these 2 file systems, it can be shared between Mac and Windows.

Further Reading

Both FAT32 and exFAT have advantages and disadvantages.

FAT32: FAT32 works with all versions of Windows, Mac OS, Linux, game consoles, etc.

However, single files on a FAT32 drive can't be larger than 4GB. If your external drive saves files larger than 4GB or you plan to save larger files to this drive, converting to FAT32 is not recommended.

In addition, a FAT32 partition must be not more than 32GB if you create it in Windows Disk Management. Of course, there is free partition manager that can help create a FAT32 volume up to 2TB, which also functions correctly.

exFAT: exFAT has very large file size and partition size limits, which means it's a good idea to format your external hard drive to exFAT.

Nevertheless, a lot of users complained that exFAT is slow, and they highly suggest using FAT32 if you can avoid file size constraints.

Three Options for Accessing NTFS Drives on Mac

Paid Third-Party Drivers

Some paid third-party NTFS drivers for Mac can be used to access NTFS drives on Mac. They work well and they have better performance than the free solutions which will be mentioned in the following part. Paragon NTFS for Mac is such a driver.

Besides, you can also use the paid third-party file system converters to convert NTFS to FAT32 or exFAT which are compatible with both Mac and PC. MiniTool Partition Wizard is one representative.

Free Third-Party Drivers

FUSE for macOS is a free and open-source NTFS driver that can enable write support. But, this solution is slower relatively. And the automatically mounting NTFS partitions in read-write mode can be a security risk for your Mac computer.

Apple's Experimental NTFS-Write Support

The Mac OS has an experimental support for writing to NTFS drives. Usually, it is disabled by default and needs some messing around in the Mac terminal to enable it.

It doesn't work properly all the time and could lead to potential issues with your NTFS file system. For example, it had corrupted data before. Thus, we don't suggest using this tool and we believe it is disabled by this reason.

Here, we recommend using the paid third-party tools since they are easy-to-use and can do good work for you.

Then, we will introduce these three options for you in the following content.

The Best Paid Third-Party Driver: Paragon NTFS for Mac

Paragon NTFS for Mac can write, edit, delete, copy, or move files on NTFS volumes from your Mac computer. It offers a 10-day free trial. If you want to use it all the time, you need to pay for it.

With it, you don't have to fiddle with terminal commands to mount partitions manually. Additionally, it can mount partitions automatically and safely. More importantly, it can code with the potential corruption. If you purchase a Seagate drive, you can even get a free download of Paragon NTFS for Mac.

All in all, it does its works well and gives you good user's experience.

The Best Free Third-Party Drivers: FUSE for macOS

FUSE for macOS is a free solution to access NTFS on Mac. But it is less secure.

If you want to make automatically mount NTFS partitions in read-write mode on Mac, you need to temporarily disable the System Integrity Protection and replace one of Apple's built-in tools with a binary that is more vulnerable to attack. Thus, your Mac is in danger when using this driver.

However, you can use it to manually mount NTFS partitions in read-write mode if you never mind using the Terminal. This will be safer, but you need to do more work. You can go to google the steps and see how complex they are.

Apple's Experimental NTFS-Writing Support: Don't Do This, Seriously

Although we mentioned this method in our article, we still don't recommend it because it is the least tested. It is just for educational purposes, and it is available on Mac OS 10.12 Sierra. Perhaps, it will be unstable forever.
