Hamburgers Are Incapable Of Conveying The Majesty Of Space.
Rei's partner Tem and I have an arrangement: whenever Tem visits, the two of us will play weird videogames about murder together.
Tem: Riona! Tomorrow, there will be murder.
Riona: Absolutely.
Rei: You can't say things like that!
Riona: We just did.
Tem: What are you going to do to stop us? Murder us? That would just be playing straight into our hands.
In weird-videogames-about-murder news, I'm surprised and delighted by the announcement of a sequel to AI: The Somnium Files! That's actually the game that kicked off this tradition; Tem and I tend to be awake before anyone else in the house, so we'd hang out and play it in the mornings. Looking forward to more of this absolute nonsense.
Of course, I'm also still playing Persona 5 Royal. Here's my latest batch of notes.
Can't believe I almost turned down Ryuji's invitation to see a film in order to hang out with a politician. I need to get my priorities straight. Boyfriend time is more important than spending my time as efficiently as possible.
'With Ryuji next to me, the movie was almost as fresh as the first time I saw it.' Aww!
Takemi calls me 'good boy'. She remains terrifying and I'm into it.
I keep going 'oh, I'm still at the beginning of the game, I'm only two Palaces in, Makoto hasn't joined my team yet, I've barely started,' and then I catch sight of the game clock and realise I've been playing for over thirty hours.
I love that Makoto prepared for spying on us by reading detective novels.
There's a whole new shopping district to explore in Royal! Ryuji's hanging out with me and commenting on everything I look at! I got a bravery bonus for sitting on a display sofa for ages! This is delightful.
'I keep forgettin', but your glasses are fake, huh?' WHAT, I REJECT THIS NEW CANON, OF COURSE THE PROTAGONIST NEEDS HIS GLASSES, HOW DARE YOU. Yes, I know he doesn't wear glasses in Palaces, but obviously he's got a corrective magical mask.
(pict informs me that 'the protagonist doesn't actually need glasses' was already canon in the original game, which I am also choosing to ignore.)
It's strange how rarely we see characters who canonically have vision problems, given how common vision problems are in real life.
Also puzzled by Akechi later going 'oh, so those glasses are just for the aesthetic?' in response to 'I see a lot of things'. Maybe I see a lot of things because I am wearing my glasses, Akechi. From two paces, I can barely tell whether someone has eyes; with my glasses on, I can see individual hairs on their head. The fact that I can't see things without assistance doesn't mean I can't ever see things; that's what glasses are for!
This darts date with Ryuji is very cute.
'I feel like I understand something better after pairing up with Ryuji!' You bet, Rei.
Caroline calling the waitress over with 'Hey! Person!' is sort of incredible.
I scored 69 points in a round of darts and got the message 'NICE ONE'. It was the first time I'd seen that message, so I didn't realise until I got a similar score later that it had just been a coincidence.
