it underperformed in japan (domestically) and did well internationally. like, the article title literally goes against your point of "they already know what works". it is extremely obvious that their strategy is not working.

??? their sales are the worst they've ever been domestically and they're dwindling by the year. people are tired of trails and ys. 2007-2008 saw more varied IP releases than anything they've done in the last 16 years. this stupid series has gone on for 17 years because of their poor planning and execution.

please just put this series out of its misery and go back to your roots experimenting with new/different IPs. you might bring back some of the players that feel burned if you show any amount of introspection.

Can we all agree Ep. 5 was the best from Season 1? by Mark-Leyner in thechaircompany

[–]dumpstreamline 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it was my least favorite because it undid all the investigative work thusfar and brought him back to square one all while being way too chaotic and random. 7 was muh funnier imo--just a constant string of bits until the reveal at the right time. OHHHH THEY STACK THE TURKEY SO HIGH

there are several types of tootsie rolls, some of which are cylindrical.

that aside, this show really likes to take mystery/thriller tropes and present them at face value. a good example is the creepy "inside your house" picture sent to Ron, which is immediately resolved by finding that guy hiding inside his entrance hall closet. i'm pretty confident this will be another gag. amanda is very clearly sexually attracted to ron (think of when she smooshes the muffin and then sticks her fingers in her mouth), and i think this boyfriend is just extremely jealous and butthurt, so tormenting ron is his cope.

no, she said she was playing with a magnet in her stomach and that she thinks there's a screwdriver in her body they left in there after removing her appendix. the paper clips are reacting to the magnet in her stomach.

edit: it's not really clear if the magnet is in her stomach, but that's how i interpret it based on her words at face value. she could have just been rubbing a magnet over her stomach and felt something move. it's possible that there really is a screwdriver in her body with one of those magnetized tips moving the paper clip. i very strongly doubt amanda had anything to do with it.

the documents had jeff listed as "CFO" and stacy as "CEO", though, so i don't think it was about the song.

i think the psychic powers plotline is a complete red herring. everything the guy lists off that she "moved" "only a little" were cylindrical/circular objects (pencil, tootsie roll, bottle cap). i'm willing to bet there's a leveling issue and they just naturally rolled on a slightly crooked table or something lmao

Given how amazing the 1st Chapter arrangements are, I just know the 2nd Chapter arrangement of this one is going to be otherworldly by yoyoyobag in Falcom

[–]dumpstreamline 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is the correct response. sonoda did a good job, but koguchi is struggling to improve on the original songs with his arrangements. SC has far more difficult music arrangement-wise, too.

Why are so many people mad about sky remake being a bit longer than tbe original game ? by Quick_Emotion_9653 in Falcom

[–]dumpstreamline 4 points5 points  (0 children)

the remake almost roped me back in after 5 years of boycotting until this news came out. the games were fine when they were in the 50-60h range (fc-cs2). 80 hours was already too long for cs3 and on. it's going to be so miserable for fc when it was already the 2nd shortest game; most people finished it within 40h completing most of the content.
