Is the food actually good or is it just reminding you of when you were young and your mother fed you a vegetable stew after you skinned your knee?

#9 Paranormasight: The Mermaidโ€™s Curse

Incredible work from xeen on the sequel. Different in tone but still fantastically well crafted. The fourth wall never stood a chance.

Given I havenโ€™t played the third AI (and honestly thought the second one was a bit of a miss) I would encourage you toward mermaids curse!

A scene from Paranormasight showing tsukasa in a white hoodie and Sato in a pink cardigan standing on a beach. Text at the bottom says Well dang, that sure changes the story.

Iโ€™m not any kind of expert on visual novels so I donโ€™t know if this is more common than I think, but Paranormasight does such a great line in creating dynamic shots that help sell the mood. Plus that art is wonderful.

A screenshot from Paranormsight the mermaids curse showing a blonde girl and a taller older man talking to a woman in a red outfit with a man in glasses stood behind her. Text at the bottom says  Heartless, the lot of you! You won't even consider the possibility this is all one big misunderstanding?

Finished Paranormsight: The Mermaidโ€™s Curse this morning, and it blew me away. Itโ€™s surprisingly different to the original but still delivers an excellent paranormal mystery. Absolutely surprised me with its genius fourth wall breaks. I laughed out loud at one of them.

Maybe we just let this happen, trap all the bots in there, then the remaining humans can just move to New Internet.

Screenshot from the video game Persona 4. In the halls of Yasogami High, the protagonist talks to a male student labeled "Stylish student". His dialogue window reads:
"Hanging out with women, going on dates with them, that's fine. Killing them? Not so much."

Glad Iโ€™m gonna be able to give this a spin, loved the aesthetic from when it was revealed.

A simpler time when Superboy could punch the head of some kind of deathless hippy and weโ€™d all just accept it.

This is an excellent rule for storytelling but also implies that Philip Pullman witnessed the death of God as a boy.

Kind of a moot point for me since itโ€™s currently not available in the UK as far as I can tell, but still! Maybe a microscopic glimmer of hope that one day we might see a Western release of that Switch collection of the GBC Medabots games!

โ€œNew English Medabots game BUT itโ€™s a gacha BUT itโ€™s a vampire survivors clone BUT itโ€™s a bit shoddily madeโ€ has me fully doing the Treehouse of Horror free frogurt bit.

Honestly I kinda love shit like this. I think itโ€™s cool when thereโ€™s these esoteric stats that games track but hide from you. Gives a sense of mystery.

I read the first three Dark Tower books across a few months about a decade ago now and then Wizard and Glass just stopped me dead with its dramatic change of pace and focus. But Iโ€™m prepared this time, itโ€™ll be fine.

Once more I return to attempt to complete my quest for the Tower and not be thrown off by the book-long flashback into the Young Roland Adventures.

Legit quite funny that Ubisoft announced a bunch of new AC games years ago and yet somehow a remake of the pirate one gets revealed before all of them.

[We see a close up of a young white male, tanned, white teeth, coiffed hair clearly an influencer on social media. It is an image such as you see when social media posts are shown on the news. In the corner of the screen is named a location: DUBAI. He is staring slightly off-camera for several silent panels of the comic strip. His eyes move slightly. He is having a thought.]

From off-screen a newsreaderโ€™s commentary comes:

NEWSREADER:

Extraordinary images here 

of an expat in Dubai 

[The influencerโ€™s eybrows raise slightly]

โ€ฆHaving their first ever geopolitical thought.

[CUT TO a BBC news scene. The BBC newsreader CLIVE MYRIE is talking to an interviewee next to the screen showing the social media influencerโ€™s face. The intervieweeโ€™s name is David Jones]. 

CLIVE MYRIE:

To explain the significance of this moment weโ€™re joined by David Jones, our Expat Thoughts correspondent

DAVID JONES:

Clive, this is momentous

It was caught on film at the end of an Instagram post titled: โ€˜Dubai Is Brilliantโ€™.

[Pointing at the screen, the influencerโ€™s expression still the same]

You can clearly see in the eyebrows here, the dawning realisation that there *might* be something in the world beyond his dickhead self.

It marks a *huge* departure from all the Dubai Expatโ€™s previous thoughts.

CLIVE MYRIE:

Which areโ€ฆ?

DAVID JONES:

You've Got To Get Yourself Out Here Mate, Everything Is So Clean, I Don't Have To Pay Taxes, 
I Am Incurious As To Why I Do Not Have To Pay Taxes, and Spa.

CLIVE MYRIE:

And might we see an expansion of these new Thoughts in coming days?

DAVID JONES:

I think we can expect to see:

โ€œI Deserve To Be Airlifted By A Country I Pay No Tax Toโ€

CLIVE MYRIE:

Mmm.
