#i like the rhythm aspect

[gifti3]

I still think obey me would have had an easier time writing better characters if they had actual routes (includes harem route) and better story segment to rhythm game ratios

i haint watched the dang chibisode and idk if ill actually watch it with sound on sdfjk but i have a hurt feeling about them casually imbuing perry with speech for a one off gag because the idea that he needs to talk to communicate is fake. we had 4 seasons of wacky magic hijinks cartoon where perry never needed verbal speech to communicate. they couldve done this gag at any point in the show but they didn't, and the fact that they didn't felt significant. perry's muteness is such a core part of his character, to me, to the way i conceive of him/write him. i don't wanna overreact to a goofy little side cartoon (even tho i'm doing it anyway) but it's still the characters, and it still upsets me! ok that's it i've said my piece

i finally got around to playing project sekai yesterday (which ive had on my phone for like. over a year and never got properly into) and its kind of confusing 😭 why are there so many different currencies. why are there fifty million things i can hit on the ui? why r there so many things i can buy. WHO ARE ALL THESE PEOPLE THE GAME EXPECTS ME TO ALREADY BE ACQUAINTED WITH.

im sure ill figure it out eventually. probably very slowly. im just here to tap buttons ok. the amount of stuff is overwhelming. there r so many characters?? with alternate forms?? and so many character stats?? i already maxed out the group i got to level 20 somehow too so ig i have to do something to fix that

Thinking about "the rhythm of the interrogation" again.

When Cheng Xiaoshi goes in to interrogate "Li Tianxi" Xiao Li reminds him that he who controls the rhythm controls the initiative. Cheng Xiaoshi needs to be the one controlling what's going on and only then can he obtain the information they need.

And if you look at what Li Tianchen does here? He's following Xiao Li's tips to a tee. I would not be surprised if Qian Jin gave him the same advice as Xiao Li at some point tbh.

Li Tianchen's whole plan here has multiple layers. First, to Qian Jin, he's setting the police looking for Tianxi and grabbing Cheng Xiaoshi at the same time. But he also goes in there with his own agenda, trying to figure out if Cheng Xiaoshi has been able to do anything with the photo he's provided. This is the information he himself wants to obtain.

So! First thing. The "informant" went to the police themselves, offering information on the old case. They dance around the topic such that the police begin to get frustrated then offer to talk, if, and only if, there are a number of conditions agreed. The police have very little information on the case as Qian Jin ensured the files were modified which just adds to the their desperation here. So they give in. Or at least they pretend to and bug Cheng Xiaoshi. Tianchen keeps even his pretend identity ambiguous at this point. He's set the conditions of the discussion before it even begins and nets himself the home turf advantage.

Cheng Xiaoshi enters, introduces himself and asks for the informant's name. This is his attempt at controlling the conversation by dictating the questions. Unfortunately, Tianchen immediately undermines this by introducing himself as "Li Tianxi". Cheng Xiaoshi's reaction is telling and he is pushed onto the back foot.

Li Tianchen now in control of the conversation offers a handshake. Cheng Xiaoshi reaches to return it but, before he can, Tianchen switches tracks again, keeping CXS off-kilter, and asks him to hand over anything hidden on his person. Tianchen could so easily puppet CXS now, but he refuses. A puppeted Cheng Xiasho can't provide anything but puppeted words and that's not what LTC wants here. Besides, he can win his possession fair and square.

Cheng Xiaoshi offers up his phone and says that's all he has. Tianchen is doubtful and "searches" Cheng Xiaoshi. Honestly, with his touch possession power, I don't think he even really cares about potential bugs at this point? It's purely to keep Cheng Xiaoshi off guard. LTC hovers over the collar, an obvious place to put a bug... and then he pulls back. Actually *finding* a bug at this stage would derail the conversation.

Tianchen then says how the "foundation of cooperation is mutual trust" and that he "hopes they'll have a better start this time". If Cheng Xiaoshi were anything but relieved at the bug not being found he would have picked up on "Li Tianxi" being the possessor at this point and been thrown off his rhythm yet again. Alas, he entirely misses it. This actually helps CXS recover his pace a bit and when he steps back into the room he's back into questioning mode, ready to take control. Tianchen has another go at making CXS realise he's talking to the "possessor" and this time succeeds. Advantage returns to Tianchen.

And now he can start to dig at what he actually wants to ask about and confirm his suspicions. He asks how CXS knew "her" name and why he had no need to ask "her" background. CXS valiantly tries to rally, but the knowledge that he's speaking to the possessor forces him to be cautious and give an honest answer. Also, Tianchen asking why he was taking so long to answer pressures him to answer quickly rather than trying to think it through any further. CXS reveals that he learnt Tianxi's past through a photo. Tianchen's gotten his answer so it's time to make his escape.

Tianchen asks for a Coke. Forcing Cheng Xiaoshi to cater to his whims one last time whilst also giving him as excuse to "go to the bathroom" later on.

Finally, the sob story. I won't make any comment to how "true" any of it is, but it does its job here. Cheng Xiaoshi offers his sympathy by reaching out to "Tianxi".

Checkmate.

Nightbringer should have completely changed the mechanics of the game

I had a weird moral dilemma thing going for a minute where I was feeling weird about writing prsk fanfiction, but then I remembered I write stories about people in school all the time (unfortunately, because there's not enough media out there that I like that has college/adult leads that I actively want to write fanfiction for).

And then I also remember that nothing matters and aging up characters exists so anyway who likes AnHane I'm writing AnHane they are very gay and cute and I'm a little obsessed

so today i went to an arcade and there was this kind of rhythm game machine and i of Course had to try it. turns out playing enstars everyday for more than a year now actually pays off bc i was easily the one who better did it from my friends and my result even got into the top 10 of the game

[rhythmgamer]

I'm sorry mutuals objectively i like Phigros more than Enstars do you still like me

(sort of explanation in tags? (aka me just talking about rhythm games))

games in megamix that are way too strict scoring-wise (as far as the number you get): glee club (esp the prequel). exhibition match. tongue lashing. sneaky spirits. ninja bodyguard. freeze frame. bouncy road. i do not like star land-

What in the world...

Okay so for context: I was playing Pretty U to clear daily missions. And I had like 3 Goods and 1 Miss. And I figured "yeah, par for the course" and obviously didn't take a screenshot of those results (because why would I unless it's a full combo).

BUT. Apparently that still counted as Perfect Hits??? I guess it's a bug considering that that definitely shouldn't happen. But I recently had this happen with Fear too. Even though I tried fc-ing Fear for ages and just 1 Good would screw me over. And a long time ago that happened with Hot too.

I mean I guess I can't complain considering I did kind of get those shiny gold badges handed to me for free. But it just doesn't sit right with me that I didn't genuinely get a full combo on those songs.
