Hi folks. I will be moving this account to toot.cat. I will become @BigShellEvent
Thank you for the lovely time here 💜💜💜 and see you all soon
(Due to technical issues the migration may take up to 24 hours: so sorry if I ended up accidentally spam you)
I wonder if people grew up in PS1/PS2 era like myself developed a quite fragmented way of understanding landscape.
Say, I'm entirely capable of tracing down a part of a town, let it be Melbourne or Brisbane or Beijing or Tokyo, however it's broken down in my head in a specific way. I can draw down accurate map of a patch of landscape of up to five blocks either way at say Federation Square, or a patch of landscape at State Library; but connecting the two needs extreme effort. Kind of like how you get from one area to another in FFVII.
More interestingly, I'm known to get lost at identical places in TWEWY, and real Shibuya.
Now the good.
I adore the art design and music, but also there are some really fresh approach to this genre.
The tension didn't follow the typical episodic wax and wane. It opted to be less formulative regard to what happens when, if it happens at all. Which is super refreshing and even my faves like Danganronpa or Your Turn to Die lacked, without borderline trolling like Raging Loop (a good game, but wooooah the pacing.)
It also rapidly stopped being armchair detective in a manor, and progressed into a more environmentally interesting work.
The overall plot and the delivery are first equal at being the weakest, though each case itself also shown significant problems. The writer worships Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle: and unsurprisingly the mystery are also forced, non-sensual, sloppy, and utterly devoid of either earth logic or in-verse common sense.
It makes me want Isaac Asimov to be spiritually summoned to rescue us from this.
Now if it's presented in a clever way it's fine with me too, but the narrative design could've been about "Jim bought a horse and the horse needed surgery" and still utterly insufferable. Think of Atlas Shrugged level of word dump on Well The Moral Is You Should Be Happy, minus, dear god I'm sorry to say this, Rand at least had writing techniques.
It also doesn't help that the protagonist is a power fantasy, while soggier and weaker than a teabag that's been used more than ten times.
The core plot is an oddly preachy infantilising, pro-life, anti-autonomy, hyper-paternalistic over simplification of "Suicidal? You should just choose to be happy!". Which is bad enough as it is, but it also wanted to come across as more nuanced than it really is, by throwing out whole heaps of strawman arguments followed by "yeah but you should just be happy". It would've better if it just pretend systemic shitty life don't exist, instead of systemic oppression can be just resolved with more personal resilience.
I finished Process of Elimination. It's mostly bad, got worser and worser, but with some clever bits.
It's basically Concerned Troll: The Game.
What mastodon server has the highest character limit? I'm looking for an instance that encourages long forms. Thank you!
Edit: found a good place, thank you.
At what phase of your life do you have most nostalgia for? As in, you know it probably isn't your peak, yet for some reasons you have longing to be back there, or if you know you have rose tinted memories of an era that you know probably wasn't that good?
Why?
