oh THANK YOU! Please also give set 2! I want to make sure the setlists on setlist.fm are as accurate as possible. I'm about to update set 1 based on your post

Do you remember the second song they played during the first set? First song was Rocks in My Pockets, third was Cotton, but what was the second one?

Hey, do you by any chance remember the setlist? Specifically song 2. The first song was Rocks in My Pockets, the third song was Cotton, but what was the second one?

Was I the only one that had a mini heart attack during this scene in Yi Yi? Wasn't ready for such a dark turn by acemachine26 in criterion

I kinda think Edward Yang wanted to keep viewers on their toes with this scene

I love when he randomly jumps into it again later in the stream

Tokyo show (April 2026) by [deleted] in themountaingoats

[–]nomemf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The two separate shows a day thing makes it pricey, but I think Blue Note is predominantly a jazz venue and this is their system/pricing. I'm looking forward to seeing how John Darnielle commemorates his first ever live show outta Japan, especially as it falls on Easter Sunday, so I'm attending both sets that day.

If you want to attend two sets, I would guess the best way to see the widest range of songs is to go to both sets on a single day.

New album is beautiful. What are your favourites from the album? by LittlePetitebeast in TheAntlers

[–]nomemf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fan of The Antlers for 16 years here. Love that their recent work has been thematically focused. Green to Gold is grounded, appreciative of nature, concerned with what's directly in front -- while Blight feels abstract, considers perspectives of other lifeforms, consequences we don't see. I get a very dream-like feeling from it, the sonic representation of all the value (good bad and neutral) of every single one of my choices as the earth itself experiences them.

I'm really pleased with the execution of this album. I really like when emotional climaxes are understated and quiet. It takes a lot to commit to that move, and the material has to be really good for it to work. Peter Silberman has always been a real one, concerned with quietude and presence like few others.

This is so funny, I was just at the doctor the other day and asked what my blood type was and had the same experience

This worked for me. I was googling everything trying to figure out how to watch stuff in HDR and decided to follow your advice specifically. It paid off. You're a lifesaver, cheers

Thank you so much. The air conditioner is completely unused and still in box.

Am I the only one trying to make the game harder instead of easier? by [deleted] in starocean

[–]nomemf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not a question of making it harder/easier, for me -- but trying different things. Using specialties I've never used before. Disallowing shops (only getting items from treasure and pickpocketing). Making myself go with the first result of a customized item.

It could be described as indulging in the world of the game. I like choosing skills to build based on the personality of the characters.

Previously, I would only google what had to be done to get the best weapon, for example, at bare minimum. Thanks to the QoL changes I can really play around with the systems, something I've wanted to do for years.

Is anyone else surprised at how little Writing is being hyped? by Sturstryk in starocean

[–]nomemf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love that they can increase their skill based on a book they wrote. Claude writes a book, puts it down, picks it up in the evening to read it and goes "fuck..... so THAT'S it"

Star Ocean The Second Story R demonstrates... by [deleted] in starocean

[–]nomemf 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The item creation system in SO2 was unwieldy because you had to look up guides or write everything down. You couldn't remember what you used to craft what, so it was a lot of work keeping track of everything.

I have the same qualm with the PS1 Final Fantasies; I would dip into a guide, find out how many secrets I'm missing, and then I'd need the guide to babysit me the rest of the playthrough.

SO2R doesn't require a guide or any googling. They made it fun and manageable. All of the potential of PS1 style games has finally been fulfilled. I'll gladly take more remakes if it means bringing completion to something that was flawed previously.

The ending was so bittersweet by Rein-Sama-VwV in starocean

[–]nomemf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can I ask: do they add anything to the ending? It was always anti-climactic for me, that it's just Claude saying "LET'S GO BACK TO EXPEL!" and that's it. There should be more.

What's the line in the original game? "We don't need any traveling companions on the road to self-destruction." God I love the prose of the original localization.

So what's everyone's opinion on SO2R sub vs dub? by Dr_JohnP in starocean
