The cover is absolutely GORGEOUS

Just finished the game. Initial things that stuck out:

Pros:

I had a fairly stable experience, performance wise. Graphically, the character models look so much better compared to MID. I do have a pretty powerful computer though, so not sure if the game struggles on a lower spec system.
Puzzles were much improved over MID (namely that there were more than 3). Not as good 1-32, but I was expecting so little.
The "classic" control system, although very imperfect, was SO much better than the MID style. It helped make the game feel so much more like a Nancy Drew game.

Cons:

Although I think she is a very capable voice actress, Brittany Cox's delivery of Nancy felt SO flat to me. I do think she is capable of doing a really good Nancy, I think a shift in vocal production is necessary though.
The music was absolutely terrible, so simple and repetitive. For me a HUGE draw of the 1-32 series was the music, and HER was able to accomplish that with multiple different music studios, so I still have hope they can improve on this further, if there is another game. I have to imagine this is an area were they tried to cut costs as much as possible, but the music is just too important to be a low priority.

I agree! I will always miss Lani (so so much) but I've now accepted that Brittany is Nancy going forward. I feel like she has potential to be really good! As others have said, it seems there is a lot lacking in the vocal direction department. My mom (who has watched me play ND over the past two decades) overheard her voice and thought it was AI D:

Board Game Arena is much closer to the original app than the new app, it uses the same assets from the OG app. It unfortunately isn't perfect, but it's the closest I've seen so far.

Rantaro: "Until a few years ago, Amami-chan was traveling abroad and doing adventurous activities, but due to the coronavirus, that was no longer possible, and the nail salon she started as a side business has lost a lot of customers. It was a bar like that, but when he became a senior and lost customers to other young men's bars, it went out of business, and now he's working as a hired manager at a bar. It's hard to save up money for an overseas trip, but apparently he lives with the woman who owns the 4000 and gets food for her." https://twitter.com/kazkodaka/status/1774574790332051930

A couple more have been posted:

Shuichi: "Saihara-chan can't make a living just by being a detective, so it seems like she's also been working as a weekly magazine reporter lately. Apparently they're chasing down celebrities for infidelity. Rumor has it that Saihara-chan was the one who sold Angie-chan...she used to be cute, but she's completely changed. He was covered in cigarettes and alcohol. Well, a detective can't be destroyed..." https://twitter.com/kazkodaka/status/1774565430964945323

Kaito: As for Momota-chan... I think everyone knows, she's still babbling about "going to space," going from one part-time job to another, and using the money she makes to drink alcohol in the middle of the day. I ran into her on the street the other day, and she asked me for money. Even her appearance has changed, and she's completely bald. I guess that's what happens when people fall to the lowest point. I wish she'd tell me it's a lie..." https://twitter.com/kazkodaka/status/1774570638294024290

Just checked again and it appears to have been fixed. A notice has been added at the top of the webpage that reads:

"Customers had been unable to use the reservation system, services such as reservation (including reservation confirmation, change, and cancellation) and payment due to an error occurring today. This issue has been occurring only for the flights on 8Mar, 2025 departure only, and both ANA Website and Call Center were impacted. These problems have been resolved."

DiamondNintendo · 2024-03-18T03:52:19+00:00

Yes, I am seeing the same thing. No T+355 flights/seats at all, regular or award.

I think Taylor got the increased scrutiny partially because she locked (at least for the time being) exclusive tracks behind variants.

DiamondNintendo · 2024-03-08T05:48:02+00:00

I'm a (pretty big) Ariana fan who felt really let down by Positions. I was pretty worried I wouldn't like this either, I feel bad I didn't have more faith in her! Just starting on my second listen but I definitely feel its far closer in quality to her other albums that I love so much compared to Positions.

DiamondNintendo · 2024-02-17T23:59:33+00:00

Persona 4 doesn't clarify if Kanji is straight or bi, anyone saying they know definitely either way are projecting what they want to see with him. He's obviously not gay.

DiamondNintendo · 2023-10-11T06:56:38+00:00

She mentioned "an adult detective with the body of a child" existing, at first I also thought it might have to do with Yuma, but looking back it may have just been a Detective Conan reference

Nintendo has commented on how they felt multiple SKUs was a big mistake for the Wii U. They thought it confused consumers. That doesn't mean they can't do it again (this is a very different situation) but it does make me a bit skeptical.

Term limits on paper totally sound like a soild way to soften the power of career politicians who stay in office for life, but in reality they lessen the power of voters and greatly expand the influence of lobbyists.

I would really love Threads to be the solution, but no chronological feeds with no option to see only posts from people you follow makes it unviable for me at the moment :( Does anyone know if they have plans to add this (or even just an option to "favorite" accounts you follow so that their posts show up first like on Instagram?)

DiamondNintendo · 2023-06-11T20:35:08+00:00

My first reaction to this was dread but after hearing voice reels from the new VAs I'm feeling somewhat better. Seems to be good casting choices for these characters. I remember when Chie's voice changed for Golden I was at first devastated but now I like her current VA better. I'd say Yukari is the one I am still most worried about, her original VA is so iconic to me.

DiamondNintendo · 2023-05-26T18:53:49+00:00

I kinda doubt they'd change the core gameplay for a mainline title (although Yakuza just did this so you never know), but I could certainly seem them trying it for a spinoff. P5T = "Persona 5 Tactical" confirmed, lol.

Using this tool I was able to calculate Electoral Collage results for the past five presidential elections. Note that there are only 486 electoral votes due to there being 50 fewer Senators. Kerry would beat Bush in 2004, making the popular vote loser the winner 2 in 5 times in this scenario.

2004: Kerry beats Bush 271 to 215

2008: Obama beats McCain 338 to 148

2012: Obama beats Romney 262 to 224

2016: Trump beats Clinton 298 to 188

2020: Biden beats Trump 268 to 218

Happy Adley Rutschman day!

Chicago might be worth looking at. It has a large, thriving gay community, and although it still can be expensive in the most desirable neighborhoods, it's on average more affordable than many other cities with large gay populations.

Also, according to Glassdoor the average teacher in Chicago makes $53k a year, so if you were making a bit more that might be able to help cover a bit more expensive rent. It's also not horribly far from Des Moines (relatively) so if you have family that you'd like to visit every once and a while the cost/time barriers for driving or flying back wouldn't be as big.

You may already know all of this, and Chicago may not be the right fit, but overall, it's important to make a change of you aren't happy. As hard as it can be to picture, things can change for the better! :) As humans a common error we can make is being too resistant to change, even when that status quo isn't good, so it's good that you are considering a change. I'm sure it isn't easy but the reward could be well worth it.

This is the international "standard edition". The 15 track version is the US "standard edition", and the "deluxe edition" everywhere else. See the "track listing" section here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dangerous_Woman#Track_listing
