HIGURASHI 3 - CHAPTER 3

• I didn't start out ready to make a post, but after seeing "Super High School Level Pitcher" not-Leon on the mound, and another sprite, and fear that Keiichi will either berate his friends for pulling him away from his family for this or cost his dad something.... I worry too much. This is Higurashi! Everything will be fiiiiiiiine~
• Meep. Nipah~ Rika the best troll.
• Oh my, what does Satoko have in mind?
• Teasing the opposing pitcher with knowledge of his food habits! Something only Keiichi could do because he's the only club member able to use the men's restroom! ...Perverted food habits, apparently?
• Did you or Arria write this about strawberry shortcake? While thinking about Gohda making them and Ronove serving? Together?
• All these exclamation points. All this pointing. All these over-the-top persuasive arguments. Keiichi can only have turned into one man... MINORU MINORIKAWA!

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DlzVTiNVsAAg4CM.jpg

• A really businessperson-looking guy took off his glasses and gazed upon Keiichi. "...Huh... Uh... I-Is this... Could it be...?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KuBVcsPVPyQ&t=0m08s
• Wowww, Satoko had that entire game wrapped around her finger.
• The umpire has a portrait now? Or is that Chie? Coach/Umpire Irie.
• And he's swooning over Keiichi's soft, velvety hands and those of fair maids. I'm certain one of you two wrote this!!!

So, takeaways from this episode. We learn just how devious and elaborate Satoko truly is with her set-ups, and what a great actress she is at obfuscating her skills to lower others' guards. Were the bento challenge and brother things part of a greater plan? Did she know Keiichi would be unable to attend the game due to his parents meeting? Like Mion setting up the All-You-Can-Eat later, was the business meeting part of Satoko's plan to have Keiichi come in at the last second??? Did she send Keiichi's parents away in the first place??????????

HIGURASHI 3 - CHAPTER 2

• I am so hungry for bento.
• Please, Keiichi. For the love all that is good... give yourself up and take the punishment. He's gonna get so many pity votes...
• Poor Satoko... everyone making fun of what she made in Keiichi's dish...
• Mion totally knows Satoko cheated and is just being cruel, right? It's Mion.
• Yeah, if Rena figured it out when Keiichi showed the burns, Mion figured it out from the outset and has been putting on a show, with all of us the poor peons who cheated and get thrown around.
• Awww, they both sacrificed themselves to the curry gods!
• Whoa! New sprite?! That was completely unexpected. So Chie isn't just a prop character??!
• And then they all died together! Yaaay~~

Justice League Task Force (SNES)

I beat the game with the goddamn Batman.

A fighting game featuring key members of the Justice League. Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman Green Arrow, Flash and three villains: Despero, Cheetah and Darkseid.

Standard fighting game stuff: 3 Punches/Kicks, special moves. You can also double tap forward to do a forward roll that can dodge projectiles and double tap backward to do a back dash.

Game has some nice looking sprites, backgrounds, decent music and controls. The AI was a little infuriating to deal with at times.

This game. All my childhood hatred.

As someone who has never played Stardew Valley, at what point of the game do you just restart it all?
It's one of the difficulties I had playing Harvest Moon. After I get married there's basically nothing else I want to do (maybe wait until I have a kid), but since there's no stopping point AND I would feel wasteful and discouraged to start over from zero, I just...abandon the game. And that doesn't feel very good.

Not sure yet. I will say that there's still stuff to do and farming is still fun and there's still story and artifacts and lots of stuff to do after marriage.

It's not like, say, Harvest Moon 64 where once you're married, everyone else is married, and the dialogue never ever changes ever again, and no one is at the bar at night, and.... sigh. Such a great game and then it just stays still...

HIGURASHI EPISODE 3 BEGINS

Also, before I begin, I just want to really commend Arria on resisting the urge to look up spoilers or jump ahead without you all this time. Her patience and friendship are truly admirable.

"And you were happy too for you did not know what was outside the well."

Chapter 3 is going to be terrible, won't it?

• "Hey landlord, there's a terrible stink! The sewer's backed up!" "Eh, just poke it with a stick, it should clear up." "Hey what's that? EEEEEK!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xz4-aEGvqQM
• She was cut open and her insides were drug out? Was she also stuffed with Halloween candy?? MADE OF SMALL BOMBS???
• Katoko seems waaayyy too polite about Mion's bento box. Wonder what hot sauce she plans to add.
• A curry fiend has appeared!!!
• BENTO SHOWDOWN!!!
• Not much commentary on the Satoko harassing or the cooking... except for filling the wok to the brim with salad oil. Oh, Keiichi, noooo....
• Where's Gohda when you need him?
• IRON CHEF ARSON, KEIICHI MAEBARA! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n76fJq_Kj6g&t=2m41s
• Definitely getting the Satoko episode we were promised in the tea party. And the mystery of Satoshi is brought up in Chapter 1!

More Higurashi Chapter 2

Takano was dead for 24 hours?! So, wait, that really was Takano? And someone replaced her? Or... did Shion kill someone else and make it seem like it was Takano? Why would she do that? Is Takano actually alive? Wait. Okay. So, I'm pretty certain Shion let Mion go, and Mion died escaping, and Shion went in the cell pretending to be Mion, and ended up stabbing Keiichi later wearing Mion's clothes? And then dying? What does this have to do with Takano? Who is Takano anyway, and why did she insist on going in the shrine, and why is there a false corpse of her with six toes in the furnace - I mean, dental record. Did Matthew Perry operate on her for Bruce Willis?

And why did Rika have a syringe? Did she suspect Mion/Shion? Was she taking care of things? But what happened? What is even happening?!?! IT'S USELESS, IT'S ALL USELESS!

Extra:

No, Rena, I did not enjoy it, enjoy it! It took me THREE- *double checks my save from the first chapter* -AND A HALF YEARS to make it through this game! Arria probably hadn't even been introduced to Umineko yet it was that long ago! Hell, Umineko wasn't even on Steam yet, I don't think! Shion being a cruel bitch to her sister when Keiichi walked with her after work froze me for YEARS. At least, now I understand. Now I think I understand why that happened. Because of the apology. Because Keiichi came in like a white knight and INSTANTLY gouged the heart and killed. So, NO... .... ... it was actually pretty good this back half, okay? I enjoyed the mystery, but I still won't forgive Shion's cruelty, uwaaaaa~

Finally at Higurashi again, mid-episode two, past the portion of anxious Maebara-like frozen terror when Maebara sees Shion and Mion at the same time.

Think I started in part VII? After the Watanagashi festival.

I have a distinct feeling that Shion is impersonating Mion at the moment. She's not sick, she's tired from running from her house in Okinomiya to meet with Rena and Keiichi, and she's leaving early to get back to Okinomiya where she'll be tired again when Keiichi comes over about the library. I'm not sure why yet. Did Mion disappear? Is Mion the one burned half naked with a dental match for someone else? Is Mion the almost unidentifiable burned one??? IS THAT WHY EVERY EPISODE OF UMINEKO HAS GREAT EXTENSIVE DETAIL ABOUT HOW KINZO IS DEFINITELY THE CORPSE IN THE FURNACE AND THAT HE HAS SIX TOES? BECAUSE HIGURASHI PULLED THIS SHIT FIRST? Makes sense to me.

Sonozaki-clan is Yakuza-like creeps me out, but the way the village surrounded Keiichi's bully was terrifying in a silent mafia way.

Going by the Shion-as-Mion, testing Keiichi out with questions about the night before, was that Shion calling Kimiyoshi in the tip about the search for the mayor? She used Mion's/Oryou's authority to conduct that search and said she would be there in her Nana's stead. So her Nana wouldn't really be doing anything about the search for the mayor? Why? Is this a power play?

There hasn't been much of Rena, Satoko, or Rika this chapter.

As for Umineko commentary, I forgot how the change from the wedding to the mystery went and I'm glad for it! You've got Arria steered on the right track. I was still completely lost on the Shkanon at this point and thought Kanon was just a badass again. I still think I can solve this closed room WITHOUT Kanon's appearance though.

Harvey's one of those characters I will carry an item he likes with me at all times.

Which is to say his schedule seems erratic and the doctor's office maze is a waste of time searching for him so I have something for him if I ever bump onto him. And it's coffee and I use that plenty myself.

That's a lot better than Elliot and Sam who I see and check for any pocket change.

Wish I saved the writeups for the bottom half I made.

IV for me was unmemorable. It might be because I played it immediately between II and V, it might be because V and VI were such better games, it might be because the accents in the version I played were atrocious and I didn't care in the least about most of the characters in their individual chapters or when I got them back. The story was pretty hood, but the game felt overlong.

And whenever I saw old locations and ruins in V and VI, I didn't even think of the characters or story in IV. I'll likely have to give it a second go-round, but it just wasn't great. DQHeroes gave IV's characters more life and energy, imo.

As for II, I really found myself surprised by it. I liked the trio of heroes and descendancy destiny. The plot was solid and checking out Alefgard years later and what changed was excellent. I understand there are some insanely difficult moments requiring the Nintendo hotline in the original, and that there are some quality of life improvements to make those things solvsble in gsme without a horrendous amount of guesswork. The game flowed well, which is already a bonus against the start-stop elements of IV and the eternal grind of I. The dungeons were a good kind of old school confusing, where I made paper maps for the first time in ages to figure out where to go and which stairs led where.

The only moment of frustration i remember is needing to look up a FAQ early on to where the hell Prince Paul was after thinking I triple-checked every town and cave for him. Other than that, the game was quite fun.

I hope there's some random bit of storytelling where Sheamus was the first one who crossed the Fiend and that's why he's got the chain and the Beaker hair again.

And if Kingston ever faces off with Fiend, he's got a Jamaican accent again.

And if Elias ever faces off with the Fiend, he returns to wearing a blue bathrobe and calling everyone ignoramus.

Late tag, only one comment.

I've rarely watched games at length. I was huge into competitive Starcraft and Marvel vs Capcom 3 back in the day, but I can't watch TF2 or PUBG or HOTS/LoL/MOBAs. I just dont pay attention.

The only thing since MvC3's early 10s heyday that I hungered for and watched for hours on end was competitive Zelda 1 Randomizer (ft. Para). The double screen, the variety, the strong competitors, the intensity of the final dungeon, who would find ganon first, can they find zelda, do they have the silver arrows, did they go through all the dungeons rooms just for the banana? I miss watching so much.

Enjoying the list quite a bit

A: Gonna be honest. If I had not read the previous five episodes, I would STILL be as confused as I am now!

At the end of the scene, I took a break to go to the bathroom and I told Arria to think about the scene.
When I came back she said that shed come to the belief that Shannon created the persona of Beatrice and has been committing the murders. She even came to the conclusion that because Shannon was the name given to her by her employer, its not a name she cares for or is attached to. But Beatrice is a name she CHOSE to take. Sure, Beatrice already exists as a legend and a person: Kinzos mistress, their child, etc. Itd be like me saying Im now Betsy Ross. That legend exists. No ones stopping me from pretending I have the soul of Betsy Ross inside me! So Shannon and Beatrice are two halves of the same person. I then asked her what Kanons role was, and she still hasnt discovered Shannon=Kanon. She suggested that Kanon was another servant who was initially roped into the murders, but then got in her way and wanted to stop them because he wanted to protect Jessica. The duel represents something that really did happen, and Shannon had to kill Kanon.

Oooooh, getting so very, very close to the truth!

That, at this point, I was so very, very far away from.

I've made too many dumb purchases this year on games to really regret any single one. Finding unexpected diamonds like 428 Shibuya Scramble and CrossCode, or falling for older games I'd never heard of like Risen or never been recommended like Dragon Quest VI, has made the whole thing worth it still.

Don't know how well my Winter Sale purchases will stack up. Kind of regretting the majority, but the sales were too good.

And once I get a PC that can handle higher end gaming, I can finally play a bunch of titles sitting there waiting to be opened and played (Resident Evil 2, Final Fantasy XIII, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Deus Ex Mankind Divided).

Yeah if you haven't played The Witness I'd recommend that over Talos. Also I don't know if you're looking for a first person puzzler or puzzles in general but Baba is You is also better than Talos.

Most of the Talos puzzles are about making a laser hit an eye through creative means and because it's a little finicky it feels like you're cheating puzzles sometimes or searching for the perfect pixel where the laser needs to be pointing. It's still a great game but maybe 1 step below those other puzzle games.

That was one my favorite aspects. "Am I getting away with it? Did I do it right? Should I try again and see if I did it wrong? What if it was meant to feel like I cheated? I finally did it! Oh my god, did I really do it?"
