Excuse me for my ignorance, but what is the thing in the original post, I've read the site, and the posts here, but I don't want to put anything on my comp that could get me in trouble.

It is the game of Katawa Shoujo.
It will not put any viruses into your computer.
It does, however, have some *questionable* content, if that's the kind of trouble you're talking about.

Unless you have some issue with cripples, KS shouldn't be a problem. You can turn adult content off.

Okay, well I don't want to get my ass chewed out by my mom, that would make high school a living hell.

This is definitely true. Nasu's writing is some of the most -- meandering? Rambling? I don't think either of those words really accurately describes it. It's the opposite of a prototypical galge. Tsukihime is even worse than FSN in that regard.
I haven't gotten that far into Tsukihime but it's felt better in this regard so far.  It hasn't had the extremely long irrelevant lectures of FSN (the only lectures have been on the nature of vampires and that actually seems kindof interesting and relevant, unlike the bizarre philosophy and magic system infodumps in FSN).

The main consolation is that UBW is a clear improvement on Fate in almost every way, although there are still some useless scenes.

Maybe try something else then?

hmmm I started playing Kamidori Alchemy Meister but I keep being distracted by Dota 2, Sin of a Solar Empire Rebellion and Ten Desires.

I would suggest Sekien no Inganock for those that actually look for a story though its a bit grim.

So visual novels have lately started getting on Steam. There's Sakura Spirit which was released recently, Go Go Nippon which was released a while ago and now MangaGamer announced they'll be releasing a number of new games on Steam. Higurashi will be getting a re-release with new sprites, too.
Seems Valve is now fine with releasing all age versions of adult titles on Steam, so I guess this trend will probably continue.
Oh, and euphoria will actually be getting an English release.

Is it?  None of those games were adult before.

None of the good novels are coming to steam, move along. None of the stuff MG announced is worthwhile, move along.
Comyu was decent, though. Certainly not more than a 6/10 or so, but better than most of the crap MG puts out.

Higurashi's already released in varying capacities, and if the art bothers you it's probably less your speed. I prefer vns that have actually good writing. I'm not reading novels for waifu fap bait.
