#tomodachi life #tomodachi posting #carly rae jepsen #crj

this eyeless mii's name is "Y/N" and the first thing they did within five minutes of being spawned was fall in love with hugh morris, AND THEN they fell for herlock sholmes a few minutes later. they're being their truest self and i love that for them.

#tomodachi life #tomodachi posting #hugh morris #herlock sholmes #for my amusement i hope they continue to fall in love immediately every time they meet someone new!!!

dark auction released today and while i can't drop 35 USD to play it at the moment, i'm posting about it anyway just to post about it. i'm going to pick it eventually because i loved hotel dusk and another code and thus i have no reason not to trust the lead writer

devs tried to sneak gen AI past the customers so i gotta stick by my principles and not get the game after all

#dark auction #hotel dusk #hotel dusk: room 215 #another code #trace memory #btw this is the game formerly known as:#dark auction: hitler's estate #but they dropped the subtitle. perhaps audiences were skittish about it

i've always liked that aj: aa begins with apollo getting the disillusionment speedrun world record. how fucking rapidly and thoroughly the pedestal phoenix wright stands upon crumbles to sand. he gets his boss jailed and his reward for sticking to his principles is, predictably, unemployment. what a brilliant start to ace attorney's most cynical title

#apollo justice #ace attorney #apollo justice: ace attorney #people hate this game exactly for being too cynical. to the point where it feels mean spirited and i get that #but i still like aa's little black sheep entry cause it was gutsy. it tried stuff and i'll always respect it for that

as c4's kicking off, if you're thinking about how much you missed luis carazo gracing your screens, and/or if you predict you'll miss him after the party split when there will be stretches of time where he's not there: to combat the adverse effects of luis-lessness, consider watching the actual play show that he dm's for! tales unrolled! its first adventure ("Alma," 24 episodes) just concluded on october 7th

i'm so invested in the potential of ryunosuke and mikotoba's largely unexplored dynamic specifically because these two only really know each other on a professional level/through several mutual relationships. it's not enough to say they exist in the same social circles; the people they're both individually closest to in the whole world are all the same people, yet the two are effectively strangers. idk it's such a fucking weird relationship to have with someone because they know a lot of delicate, sensitive information about each other because (gestures at the duology's entire plot) without being personally close.

ryu is the nervous wreck mikotoba tried to get thrown in jail that one time to ensure his surrogate son's study program would go through, the stowaway whose care he left his teenage daughter in (albeit under sholmes' supervision), and he's also the legal genius who helped exonerate his close friend ten years after his execution and is the one who is going to revolutionize japan's courts. mikotoba is a respected professor and the father of ryu's best friend (either/both of them), who's maintained a bad habit of lying to all the people he's responsible for (he had his reasons, but they were lies nonetheless). he's a key figure in unraveling the professor conspiracy, something ryu may have no personal stake in but has an obligation to solve as everyone he cares about is haunted by it. which now includes mikotoba. they're barely acquaintances, AND mikotoba is a member of ryu's "family." they have so much to catch up on if they're going to be working together from now on. it's just, the place they're starting from is so strange.

#i guess they can begin by bonding (reminiscing AND commiserating) over being sholmes' partner lol #(and also lying to iris about her parentage. what the hell guys)#the great ace attorney #the great ace attorney spoilers #yujin mikotoba

OH COME ON

it's supposed to be a cute easter egg but man that STINGS

#or should i say it cings (i am booed off the stage covered in tomato viscera)#another code recollection #another code #hotel dusk #hotel dusk: room 215 #screenshot #please remake her. i miss her. i'm so sorry i didn't purchase recollection in the first week of its release

there's one emotional beat i think plvspw handles better than most mainline aa games...

...and it's the tragedy of maya getting executed by mistake. phoenix is shown to be, understandably, really shaken up by it. important characters die all the time in aa games but a major weakness is that the living characters don't get any real time to sit with their feelings and mourn. which is normal in the middle of the case because the world is a legal hellscape and lawyers simply don't have the time. they've got clients to defend and a tight deadline to save them. they're sad about it after the trial ends but we don't get to see it. we just skip ahead a few months to the next murder case

there are a couple things that work that normally wouldn't because of typical aa conventions: there's the way that professor layton games are written and broken up into continuous chapters, so there's no break at all. and that maya "dies" at the end of a case under no mysterious circumstances as we fully witness what happens to her. there's no need and no urgency to solve it, it's just sad and even sadder that it was a preventable accident

i don't think they pulled it of flawlessly, of course. there's a meta understanding that maya fey, your beloved sidekick and the franchise's original quirky assistant girl, can't really be dead. fans know that the writers wouldn't kill her off period, let alone in the crossover game of dubious canon. and we know that professor layton games never reach this level of violent (despite the witch burning cutscenes being REALLY gruesome in their suggestion). it makes me a little sad, that they would only choose to elaborate on phoenix's deep hurt knowing that it wasn't permanent. don't get me wrong, i'm relieved that maya wasn't actually killed. but narratively her death (while fake) is in service to phoenix's character, which i'm less okay with. i'm actually a tad disappointed in maya's overall role because she didn't have much to do. which is why i'm in two minds about my praise of phoenix's mourning

to summarize: i'm ehhhhh about maya's "death" in the first place but the positive is that we get to see some emotions that we wouldn't normally, because the structure of the story differs from the standard aa game. BUT i'm conflicted because it happened and only could happen in an scenario where the stakes weren't real. BUT ALSO, i don't want maya to die for real!

#professor layton vs phoenix wright #plvspw spoilers #plvspw #plvsaa #ace attorney

it makes complete sense why audiences would find it more exciting, and i say this as someone who likes both. it does kind of bum me out that monster prom massively overtook its primary gameplay inspiration, The Yawhg (2013) and now it's since faded into relative obscurity

#monster prom #the yawhg #i guess it was already like 5 years old when MP was released. and then they kept making sequels so

i feel like i can't fully articulate why i find gaku's vastly disparate parentage compelling. like mr. yaotome is a business/entertainment executive so gaku grew up privileged in that regard, but also his dad is such a massive fucking shitheel that his refuge is volunteering to work food service "under cover" for his maternal grandparents' humble little soba shop, like a commoner. (i'm being facetious, it's too cynical a read when it's just that he's a good grandson who knows that soba is a more honest and noble job than showbiz. and after trigger went independent, it's probably not even less lucrative)

then there's the question of how gaku's parents married in the first place. it's hard for me to understand how the ever-prideful sousuke, too transparent about how he's never gotten over tsumugi's mom, settled for someone from such a normal family. if he couldn't have true love i would think he'd aim for status instead. or he was straight up going to propose to any unfortunate woman who'd give him a child to abuse and turn into his employee which. okay yeah maybe i'm simply inferring too much and that's actually exactly what happened

#I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS #idolish7 #yaotome gaku #disclaimer i'm anime-only so idk if the game ever talks about it in more detail
