AITSF is fundamentally a game about finding and connecting to family, especially found family. This is most obvious when looking at Mizuki's route and how a literal requirement for Date's Somnium is that she has to choose him over her birth family. One of Date's insecurities when it comes to his and Mizuki's relationship is how much they've left it undefined all this time and how much he is unable to define family for himself. He hasn't really thought about the meaning of family very much before Mizuki asks him, and he seems hurt by the idea that by the definition that first came to his mind they would never be family. This is obvious from his Somnium, too -- he expects Mizuki to choose them. He pushes her away. He subconsciously makes it harder for her to choose him with the negative Timies. But at the end of the day, they come out of it with a stronger familial bond and with the knowledge that Mizuki chooses him, with or without her parents being alive.

Ota's route also highlights the importance of family when it comes to his relationship with Mayumi -- he has a lot of friction with her because her dementia has led to her having difficulty acknowledging that Ota has changed and digging up old wounds and disagreements that he wants to forget. But by facing these disagreements, they are able to strengthen their relationship and develop a lifestyle that works for both of them. Ota doesn't have to give up on his friendship with Iris, but he also starts having a more active investment in both the diner and his mother's health.

Iris never learns about her biological parents -- she is perfectly content as Hitomi's daughter, without the knowledge of Manaka or So. But one of her key motivations for becoming A-set comes from Falco -- a father figure she didn't know for very long, in the grand scheme of things, but made a permanent impact on her life. Iris's route does involve her bonding with Date (who was once Falco), but the reason it doesn't work out is because neither of them know the truth. Despite the fact that he chose to listen to her, to respect what he was telling her, it still didn't work out because none of it was the truth.

And I think one of the reasons people sometimes feel let down by the Resolution route is because it focuses on the resolution of the mystery over the resolution of Mizuki or Ota's character arcs. Iris gets more resolution because her and Falco's relationship is integral to finding out about Date's identity, as well as Hitomi. Despite the fact that those developments supposedly didn't happen, the game treats them as if they did, with Mizuki's formalized adoption, Aiba and Date using the very same dialogue Mizuki exemplified in her definition of family (I didn't touch on their relationship for the sake of this analysis, but I do think this scene does confirm that they see each other as family), and the fact that in Nirvana Initiative Ota is running the diner. With the exception of Date and Aiba's (which could be explained as just coincidence), these developments could not have happened. While there is some suggestion that Date remembers the events of every other route, no such thing exists for any other character. So while the ending is the same for the other characters when it comes to their relationships to each other, the Resolution route doesn't lay significant groundwork for those relationships to have developed due to the screentime necessary to both build up Date's relationship with Iris and get all the remaining loose threads of the mystery tied up entirely.

New DL Area Added to Tamagotchi Uni Tamaverse Menu

1.6.0 was a huge update with lots of new features, including the opening of the Tama Portal! This is the first iteration of OTA (over the air) downloadable content for a Tamagotchi! That’s huge! Instead of having to access the new area you’ve downloaded solely through the Tama Portal in the Tamaverse, Bandai has added a new DL Area option under the Tamaverse icon which then brings you directly to the Tama Portal and on the train to your current download area, since you can only have one download area loaded at a time.

Interestingly enough if you press the “C” button while in your download area, and choose to exit, you are then put back into the Tama Portal in the Tamaverse! This is really neat, we really like how this was integrated, and love how much quicker it is to access a download area on the Tamagotchi Uni.

The new Grendizer anime looks so lame. Not only are the designs hideous but I hate how they've integrated so many elements from Mazinger Z. Maybe I'm just being influenced by those rumors that Go Nagai didn't want Grendizer to be connected to Mazinger Z. I don't know. This doesn't feel right.

I think Ota did a good job with the whole Mazinger-Great Mazinger-Grendizer connection with his manga, so maybe it'll work.

I'm just rambling. I want the original Grendizer to get an official subtitled release.

Quote of the Week

Panstromek: I remember reading somewhere (probably here) that borrow checking has O(n^3) asymptotic complexity, relative to the size of the function.

Nadrieril: Compared to match exhaustiveness which is NP-hard and trait solving which is undecidable, a polynomial complexity feels refreshingly sane.

Tourism Market: Trends, Growth, and Industry Players

Introduction

The global tourism market is a dynamic sector that continually evolves in response to changing consumer preferences, technological advancements, and global events. As we delve into the current landscape, it is crucial to explore the tourism market size, growth patterns, industry trends, and key players that shape the sector's trajectory.

Tourism Market Size and Growth

The tourism market has witnessed remarkable growth over the past decade. According to the latest data the global international tourist arrivals reached 1.5 billion in 2022, marking a 4% increase from the previous year. The tourism industry's robust growth is attributed to factors such as increased disposable income, improved connectivity, and a growing middle class in emerging economies.

The COVID-19 pandemic, however, significantly impacted the industry in 2020 and 2021. International tourist arrivals plummeted by 74% in 2020, representing the largest decline in the industry's history. As the world recovers from the pandemic, tourism is experiencing a resurgence. The UNWTO estimates that international tourist arrivals will surpass pre-pandemic levels by 2023, emphasizing the sector's resilience.

Tourism and Hospitality Industry Trends

The tourism and hospitality industry is undergoing transformative changes driven by technological advancements and shifting consumer behaviors. One notable trend is the rise of sustainable tourism. Travelers are increasingly prioritizing destinations and businesses that adopt eco-friendly practices. Hotels, airlines, and tour operators are responding by implementing sustainable initiatives to meet the demands of environmentally conscious travelers.

Another trend shaping the industry is the integration of technology. From mobile apps for seamless bookings to virtual reality experiences, technology is enhancing the overall travel experience. The use of artificial intelligence and big data analytics is also becoming prevalent, enabling businesses to personalize services, predict consumer preferences, and optimize operations.

Tourism Industry Players

The tourism market is comprised of a diverse range of players, including governments, international organizations, tour operators, airlines, hotels, and online travel agencies (OTAs). Notable industry players such as Airbnb, Expedia, and Booking. com have disrupted traditional hospitality models, offering travelers a wide array of accommodation options and personalized experiences.

Governments play a crucial role in shaping the tourism landscape through policies, infrastructure development, and destination marketing. Collaborations between public and private sectors are essential to foster sustainable growth and address challenges such as over-tourism and environmental impact.

Tourism Market Analysis

A comprehensive analysis of the tourism market involves assessing key factors such as market dynamics, competitive landscape, and regulatory environments. The Asia-Pacific region has emerged as a powerhouse in the tourism sector, with countries like China, India, and Japan experiencing substantial growth. In contrast, established destinations in Europe and North America continue to attract millions of tourists annually.

The post-pandemic recovery has prompted a shift in travel preferences, with a surge in demand for domestic and outdoor experiences. Travelers are seeking off-the-beaten-path destinations, contributing to the diversification of the tourism market.

Travel and Tourism Industry Outlook

Looking ahead, the outlook for the travel and tourism industry is optimistic. The industry is expected to rebound strongly, driven by pent-up demand, increased vaccination rates, and the easing of travel restrictions. The global tourism market is projected to reach $11.38 trillion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 6.1% from 2020 to 2027.

In conclusion, the tourism market is a vibrant and resilient sector that continues to adapt to changing circumstances. Understanding the market size, growth trends, industry players, and emerging dynamics is crucial for stakeholders navigating the evolving landscape. As the world reopens for travel, the industry's ability to innovate and embrace sustainable practices will play a pivotal role in shaping its future success.

hey all,

the next zwg is gonna be delayed. obviously. it’s been two weeks without an update, but i’m afraid it might be at least two more.

the issue i’m having is that it’s. a LOT words to write. at least an entire fragment’s worth in a single chapter. and normally that wouldn’t be too bad, it would be like writing a three-chapter fragment in a single chapter of space.

the trouble is the content of that writing.

i’ll go into detail below the readmore but essentially the issue is that my brain works very linearly and i can’t start B or C without having completed A, and A in this case is kicking my ass.

the solution i’ve come up with is to try and write it gradually and release little snippets on tumblr to assure you that work is getting done and satisfy your zero escape fiction needs.

slight spoilers for the next chapter below. (no specifics, just overview. if you want to be totally blind and surprised don’t click.)

for those of you that have guessed that the sigma fragment will be covering the events of the vlr timeline, congratulations. as anticipated, ‘Foretold’ is referring to the events of the apocalypse that have been foretold to come.

i don’t have an issue writing for the vlr timeline. chapter 2 and chapter 3 have been outlined and i anticipate that once i start writing them it will take at most a day or two to complete each chapter.

chapter 1 is the issue.

for context, the character fragments are formatted thusly: chapter 1 will give characterization and context for motivations, chapter 2 will cover their adventures through the Zeroes Game, and chapter 3 will cover the consequences thereof.

for sigma specifically, providing context involves going over the 45 years he spends on the moon after the events of vlr. this is a roadblock for two reasons:

1. Covering 45 years of content and compressing it all into a single chapter is difficult. Not only because 45 years is a long fucking time, but because I have to think logistically about how Sigma would spend that time, what he learns in what order, and how his learning impacts his decision-making.

2. I don’t like Sigma. He is not only my least favorite Uchikoshi protagonist, he is my least favorite visual novel protagonist to date, and he is my third least favorite Uchikoshi character overall (no. 2 is Ota Matsushita, no. 1 is Dio). Having to think logistically about 45 years and write more than 10k words while in the mindset of one of my least favorite VN characters of all time is mentally taxing.

But I’ll fucking do it. Like I told my beta writer today as we were outlining the chapter, my integrity as a writer will not allow me to write a blank chapter titled “Fuck Sigma,” no matter how much I desperately want to.

It’ll get done. Eventually.

Fuck Sigma.
