@vaartis And written by Alan Kay's wife, too. (The story, not the screenplay.) That's actually how they met.

@vaartis The reason I asked you to watch Tron is that the music was written by Wendy Carlos. Back when I was in college, my pals and I were huge fans of A Clockwork Orange (and Tron), and one day they aired the latter on TV. We had watched the movie many times before, but we didn't know she had composed the soundtrack. The next day in class, we just said: “Did you watch Tron yesterday?” “Yes!” “Wendy Carlos!!” It was fun. Anyway, you don't need to watch it now, I guess.

@vaartis Was it your first time? What did you think of it? Also, now watch the original Tron.

@vaartis That's right, but Ian Anderson was being sarcastic, I guess? Thick as a Brick was meant as a parody of concept albums, I think.

@vaartis Maybe, but it wasn't the original intention. They just wrote several different songs and then linked them together. I assume they did so to make fun of progressive rock bands.

That said, isn't the lore of the album that the lyrics were one huge poem written by a kid?

@vaartis What did you expect? They're Argentinian. (Also, did they finally come back to you regarding that patch you wrote?)

@vaartis Sure, but in p5, it is less annoying. Baton pass makes battles more dynamic when you have two or more teammates who can attack the enemies' weaknesses.

But you're right: farming is inevitable and it sucks.

@vaartis That was my main beef with p4g, actually. Baton pass was a great way to share the cost of SP among all members of the team. No matter how hard I tried to make everyone participate equally in battles, I found the MC always running out of SP while the others still had plenty. Also, the combat becomes slow and repetitive on higher difficulties because you need to farm exp points. Mementos was a great idea in that regard. All I can do in p4g is keep revisiting previous dungeons.

@vaartis Just curious, but what's wrong with the combat in p5? I'm replaying p4g right now and I'm missing many QoL improvements that were in p5.

@kaia That's harsh. Entertaining is worth at least three stars in my book, provided I don't get food poisoning from them.

@prettygood I can't stand his attitude, but maybe his bar is good.

@kaia He argued in 1932 that the USSR should stop Nazi Germany to prevent WW2: «In the face of a mortal enemy, when the logic of the situation points to inevitable war, it would be irresponsible and unpardonable to give that enemy time to establish himself, to consolidate his positions, to conclude alliances… and to work out the plan to attack.»

@kaia I have several browser configurations and I use aliases to load each one. It is easy to configure and painless to use.

@kaia Can you expand on that thought, please?

@kaia The director missed the chance to take the picture of the second girl when she was smiling at the first. It would have been a nice touch.

@kaia TMI.

@vaartis Did you enjoy Sleepy Hollow? That was my first choice, but I was afraid you would not get the reference or be too far removed from it to have an efffect.

@vaartis 頑張って。 But, remember, when life gives you lemons...

@vaartis Yeah, having read only the premise, I was going to reply: “So, like dangaronpa?” Can I play it on Linux? Is there a FAQ on your itch.io page so I don't have to bother you with more stupid questions?
