In the US, there's two whole months in there. Time works funny here.

Is that so-called time zones?

Is there some reason why Heinz brand canned spaghetti sometimes has a metallic after taste? Like, is it in the tomato sauce or is the food somehow able to leech metal out of the can or something...?

Canned food usually has a liner that prevents that, but the acidity may interfere with the liner.

Which seems hella unsafe.

Americans can fit two months in two days? God, talk about an end-stage capitalism dystopia...

Maybe... kinda don't want to jump to that conclusion though, the other cans in the pack were fine.

This is the funniest non-sequitur lmao

 

[fdsasdf_p]

Um... none? That's only two days difference.

You've figured out the source of Kumon-mi time fuckery my good sir: gods being too stupid to properly use date formats

 

[Xiondingens]

How many months are between 5/1/24 and 7/1/24?

What? Between the 5th and 7th january? Are you drunk?

Anyway, why no one talk about Kaori's events? Did everyone just hold CTRL on her or what? Cuz I think there are a lot of lore and hidden stories there. But, alas, Kaori was a bit too Kaori for my mind, so I didn't succeed in understanding her words.

I can only cherry pick certain few things to interpret.

First is what would Ami use her gold star. Her answer is bringing the moon back. Moon has been constantly used in the game to insinuate perhaps the gods. But from Ami's perspective, and from how Kaori claimed to use her gold star, I suspect Ami is alluding to wanting Sekai back if such thing is ever tangible. However, putting the moon back will be rewriting history. And such a thing can not be done without consequence of equal or greater value. Aka, the moon will be back and once it's back someone or everyone will be fucked.

Next is girls with deer parts. The whole Kaori's monologue feels like describing her own very unique situation; the scene even goes and shows Kaori's scar with her red eyes (also, her boobs look bigger than anticipated. HOT). The part of Kaori that should not exist, the Sekai within her, faces "constant push" that wishes to remove it (source unknown).

Finally, together we make a nuclear family. Ami might actually be conversing with both her parents next to the camp fire, her highly hypothesized dad and her mom inside of Queen of Spider. And what a nuclear family this is.

The whole thing reeks of Sekai's presence and her unavoidable comeback.
edit: also the latter part of Kaori's dialogue is still convoluted but exceedingly normal in terms of word choices, interesting...

I don't have thoughts on Sensei's story. The story itself is to my liking and I can force creative projections onto some of them especially with the use of whales and the twisted desire for recognition as themes, but I am not sure if this is simply just a good story at the end of the day and doesn't have to have hidden meanings, like Futaba's ghost story.

thank you for this. Have no idea why devs bloat their games so much.

4.0 =

Pretty good compared to Canadian Band struggle to read. The dorm music hit me like a nostalgic truck because that's how fucking long it's been apparently.

Will effectively lose my shit the next time Selly uses 10c again after his fixation on hyper potions style tracks for everything tbh

For what it is worth i think the 'charm' and soundtrack meeting scene dynamics the game had back in the 1-2 chapters is pretty gone at this point in factor of uwu funny hiphop music go brr and 1-2 sad tracks happen across every scene again. Paper City was the last emotional beat that actually hit?

I mean, you're not wrong, but American's put the month first, so what looks like Jan 5 to Jan 7 to someone in Europe reads as May 1 to July 1 here.

It's amazing how frequently this gets forgotten on international work teams. Hilarity ensues for everyone but the project manager, who's crying in the corner.

4.0 = Sara that's Niki's spot.

If you never engage with Sara, does that change her proposition at all? Like, does it still happen?

Great interpretations, most of which lines up with what I was thinking but the nuclear family thing is a great pickup. Possible mom, possible Dad? Love it.

Use ISO8601, dates with dashes should always be yyyy-mm-dd despite the locale

I am the town bicycle so i will never know, but i think the URM presented options otherwise and she truly just wants to get outta here

Sara will acknowledge that his heart lies somewhere without bringing up the runaway suggestion, and Ami won't come out being all defensive about the unsaid suggestion. You can check it in replay yourself as all flags are defaulted to False.

That's good to know, cause I thought it was super weird when i reviewed their conversation at camp and Ami's like: "yeah, i hope that now that you're seeing me as your possible legit daughter, that will be the push to finally bone me"

And I was like "how the hell did i get into good uncle route".

I guess I have some testing to do regarding what classifies as without flag in replays, and is there a way to see the scenes with active flags again other than reloading a save?

Lol, i knew that was what he meant, i was just making a joke on it.

Why are Noriko and Niki calling me Sensei?

 

[fdsasdf_p]

I gotta admit, yes I do. Kaori is just such a big nothingburger (pun intended) most of the time and my brain just ends up being fried. I try not to skip too much in case I miss something big but I just don't like reading all that mumbo jumbo. She literally feels like a filler episode to me, all the time it's the same trope of weird girl saying a lot of nonsense and nothing ever changes.
Literally what character development does she have?

She is a random weird girl that likes fastfood and is Yumi and Yuki's relative. She can most likely teleport to places. She has a cock. She might be a supernatural being or a product of a supernatural incident. She is somehow tied to Nao.

^ This is her entire persona and we probably already spent 100 hours in the game with her in it.

I understand where you're coming from as I from time to time share a similar irritation with Kaori. Perhaps it's because Selly's plan with her is just a lot different from the rest of the cast.

She isn't a side character to a main character like all the milfs, and she isn't a side character to a side character like Osako (I don't count her blood tie to the Yamaguchi just like you as this bond isn't really utilized in a meaningful way). Kaori has been a standalone eye candy, walking enigma, or a segue to other enigmas from the beginning, so it'd probably be a guaranteed disappointment if you seek any character development on an internal or interpersonal level from Kaori.

The problem lies in the fact that we're not really close to solve all of her while Selly keeps making her spew out even more enigmas. And this is something I think Selly needs to put more efforts into thinking "where and how does Kaori fit" if he doesn't want Kaori to be just a kiosk outside of the mundane realm solely for providing cryptic information. Maybe forcing her appearance during beach wars and April fool wars is Selly's attempt of involving her with the story, but he will have to do more than that (but if he doesn't it's fine; just another day of misaligned headcanons).

Why are Noriko and Niki calling me Sensei?

Because Sensei insists on it.

Why is he insisting on it? Read on.

 

[Ritzalio]

This game's progression is confusing. Any helpful tips? I'm new here
