Melina: *watching Janice perform* Oh look father, isn't she beautiful? Not just that, she's so talented! Surely a heavenly choir of angels could not compete with her voice.

Oswald: Now now Melina, don't be jealous. You are just as beautiful and talented I promise.

Melina: Dad I'm not jealous, I'm gay.

Get you a girlfriend who looks at you the same way Melina looks at Janice.

I haven't watched Squid Game yet.

What episode does Descole show up in?

Tiny details I noticed from the Layton series:

Katrielle's sofa is shaped like her hair:

In the Promo artwork for Miracle Mask, you can see Stachenscarfen.

This man gets so excited about seeing the Bostonius that he rushes out his house and immediately slips on the ice:

It's not a continuity error that Dean Delmona has white hair in Laytons Mystery Journey. When he's shocked, his hair flies off his head, revealing it to be a wig.

Ingrid and Matthew have to stand on piles of books to be able to see out the window:

Duke makes an appearance in St Mystere despite being from Folsense. And being a hallucination.

The man Grosky fights with in Last Specter can be seen in Prison in the credits of Eternal Diva.

In Eternal Diva, during Puzzle 001, you can overhear two men arguing about the answer.

The two are looking at a fossil of what appears to be a Ichthyosaur.

You can hear the first man ask, "What about that? Is that old?"

Second man replies, "That's a fish."

The first argues back, "It's a fossil you buffoon!!"

I don't know, I thought it was funny.

That's all I can fit onto this post.

Please share any small details you've noticed, I love seeing them!

ALWAYS listen out for what the background characters are saying. You might overhear some fun conversations.

Thank you for your time.

Ok here’s my problem with this part of the game.

They have these people talk about how weird Aurora’s outfit is, which then leads to the makeover scene.

But here’s the issue:

This is one of the most normal looking dresses in the goddamn world

Like idk if it’s cause I was raised in a hippie town but like this outfit really doesn’t strike me as odd

The only “weird” things about her appearance is that she has no pupils and she has that gem thing on her forehead. But neither of those things are mentioned when they talk about how she “looks weird”. It’s just her dress.

It’s so stupid. If the writers were gonna have Aurora be singled out for her “weird” fashion sense, the least they could’ve done was made it actually weird.

I agree! The dress might be a little old fashioned for a young girl to wear, but it's not bad enough for everyone to comment on.

Also, we get a flashback to what the Azran people actually used to wear:

Imagine if Aurora was actually dressed like this. With a robe and pointed hood. She'd definitely look strange and out of place then.

And it would make her makeover scene more impactful, as it would be the first time we see her golden hair.

It's possible that Level 5 were going this route, as in the Azran Legacy concept art there appears to be an early version of Aurora wearing a cloak and hood.

But I guess they chickened out and gave her a basic dress.

Oh well.

Remember that scene in Azran Legacy when Bishop was 100% ready to shoot Old Red?

I GOT A FUCKING RAISE THE POTATO WORKED WTF

This potato works. Every. Fucking. Time.

Then bring me luck

the day after I posted this last time I was notified that I was selected for a really cool mentorship gig and got an unrelated glowing review at work

Someone forever ago when I was taking PL cat requests asked that I draw Rook and Bishop and then I forgot about it and honestly wasn’t even sure if I wanted to because they’re a pair of character who I just…wasn’t ever sure if I liked?? Anyway I realized at the early hours of 3 am that they’d make the perfect ‘short round cat - long twig cat’ duo so I finally got around to actually drawing them.
