After several months I've eventually finished this game. I've played other 'mixed-genre' visual novels before (Danganronpa, Persona and Ace Attorney for example) and generally enjoyed them. And yes, I did find 13 Sentinels interesting and fun to play for the most part. I'd definitely recommend trying it.

However I think the way the story was presented made an already complex story unnecessarily confusing at points. For context, the story is told from the perspectives of 13 separate protagonists, in short chunks. Because of the way you unlock different sections of the story (either by getting to a certain part with one character, or making progress in the battle mode), you'll be shifting through each of the individual stories constantly.

In some ways this is a neat way to tell the story and keep things mysterious, but when there are so many characters with branching storylines it becomes a lot! Granted, it probably didn't help that it took me several months to get through it - that was mainly the result of the battle mode feeling like a chore to play at points.

Despite all this I did really like where the story went, and it mostly makes sense after one playthrough.

Some aspects of the story that I'm still unclear on:

spoilerThe whole deal with the multiple versions of Morimura/Iora/Chihiro. Morimura was a previous version of Iora from a previous loop? And she wanted to implant her memories onto Iota?

spoilerSimilarly, Ida's story. Amiguchi is another version of him?

spoilerWhy was Chihiro trying to force another loop? She wanted to be the one in control somehow? And similarly, why was this the final possible loop?

If you like visual novels, confusing anime storylines and science fiction you'll probably enjoy this game. Visually it's very impressive with some beautiful animation on the characters and painterly backgrounds. The voice acting and music is excellent, perfecting fitting with the tone of the game. It's likely not for everyone, but if you're willing to accept its shortcomings it is worth playing for the fascinating story alone.

The texture of the balloons made me think I was looking at meat for a moment

So this isn't a major thing, but I've blocked some bots (e.g. ones that provide an alternative video link on every YouTube post), and whenever I see a post like this, it still shows 1 comment. So I go in, and there's nothing there. Obviously it's still counting the blocked account commenting within this total.

In order to see what people are actually commenting on, is it possible to have the option to adjust this total to ignore blocked accounts?

Wait I'm confused... You're asking for a fan-made mod to be added to the Switch version of Stardew? 🤔

It's been a while since I was taught Chemistry, but I was reading something the other day and I couldn't quite get my head around the concept.

So the periodic table shows elements with their atomic numbers (protons) and atomic weight (protons + neutrons). Isotopes have different numbers of neutrons, like carbon-12 and carbon-13 which I believe would have 6 and 7 neurons respectively.

So why is carbon-12 the 'default' option, shown on the periodic table? Is it to do with which version of carbon is the most common? I don't understand how we decide what makes up the pure version of an element/ it's atomic weight as shown on the periodic table

The ant apocalypse doesn't sound all that bad to be fair. Lets give them a chance

I like the sound of this! The Starfield coffee article was funny. $7 a month miiiight be a little bit much for me - but I'll keep an eye on this and if the journalism is decent and they put out a fair number of articles I'll definitely consider it. I guess I used to spend around that amount on gaming magazines...

I understand that the Romans were unable to conquer Scotland so they build Hadrian's Wall (which explains the survival of older cultures there). But as far as I know they occupied Wales and Cornwall, so how is it that the Celtic culture (language etc.) survived in those places?

Someone loading up my game saves would see the unlocks, routes and choices I made. The physical actions in real life etched to the digital. A little piece of my life stored to semiconductors.

Darken the image and add some candles, and this would be like one of those pre-rendered backgrounds from the early Resident Evil games.

Something like this...

I think that's the bug they put in Neo in the first Matrix film

[-] OmegaMouse@feddit.uk 28 points 1 year ago

Yes I think you're right. People haven't changed, but the environment has changed - it's continually getting better at manipulating us.

Lemmy does have a limited amount of content, but what it does have seems to be of higher quality. Which is perfect! We don't need constant, cheap content.

Big corporation: Whoops, we lost this game so we can't re-release it. Sorry. Even if we found it, it's not worth our time/money porting it.

Meanwhile, random person on the internet: I've updated this emulator so you can play old games at 4k 60fps for free. The weird bug that was never fixed at launch is now gone too.

It's a very cute story! Unfortunately not true - this particular cat got an honorary title but it wasn't a thing that usually happened.

Still, I'm glad they had cat memes even back then!
