I really like that that he had realized that he was going to be alone in the House, even with 16 visiting, had made him feel like that he needed to go to his original world. And the fact that 16 had taught him how to go back, gave him a way to get back to the House if he wanted. And the fact that he went to Ritter, and offered to bring him to the House, whenever was really sweet.

As for the random capitalization's of letters, I think it was Piranesi genuinely giving things names, such as the rooms and what is going in said rooms. Which really highlights that he really cared about that world and genuinely believed that he was originally from that world.

The Prophet had found out about Piranesi and did not help him out right, just pointed 16 in the right direction on how to find Piranesi. And while the Other knew about the memory lost, same with the Prophet (but at least he told Piranesi about the long term effects that the Labyrinth has on people, which gave Piranesi the require hints about the Other), but really just not care about Piranesi at all, just viewed him as a slave that was to be used.

I really liked this book, from the characters, Piranesi is a great unreliable narrator considering what had happened to him. What I mean is that the fact that we were reading his journals from his time in the Other World and his thoughts of what had transpired and his slow realization that the Other was not his friend and that he had lost his memory because of his time spent in the Other World. And the fact that 16 was in fact trying to help him get out of that situation.

And I agree with you that all of the classes have their strengths and weaknesses. And that is part of the reason that Dragon's Dogma is one of my favorite games of all time is because you can experiment with different classes.

Bitterblack was a interesting take on the various monsters that you can encounter, plus some other monsters like the undead dragon that you cam run into after the first time you defeat the main boss and Death, which is why the Magik Archer is the (in my opinion) class because of the talent that allows you to use your pawns as literal ammo.
Nevertheless the game here does a better job at concealing this with varied lighting, color tinting and added obstacles.
I agree with in that the game designers do a better job at concealing the reuse of assets in Bitterblack, granted it is helpful that most of the levels are imperceptible darkness most of the time, with the light source being your lantern.
I think I am in a need of replaying the game, because I did not beat it fully yet (as in 100% it).

A typical Japanese person is not going to go a therapist unless they were told to by an authority figure (even then), hence why the Hikikomori (which is another can of problems) is a prevalent problem.

So I really can't say if they are worth it, but for Nausicaä, it is one of two pre-Ghilbi Hayao Miyazaki films. And people do like it.
But I have seen the others and yes they are worth it. Has I had said in my other post Porch Rosso and Princess Mononoke are two of my favorites. Castle in the Sky is another favorite, so yes it is worth it. And the others are worth seeing at least once. Just have tissues on hand for Wolf Children.

It is depressing, but it is beautifully done. But you really cannot go wrong with any of the Studio Ghilbi's movies, especially the ones that Hayao Miyazaki directed. My personal favorites is Poco Rosso (1992) and Princess Mononoke (1997). Bit more uplifting than Fireflies, and a bit more silly in the animation sense. But both are serious in their own right.

Both were good, but the beer was better, probably because I had it on tap, instead of from the can. The beer was a really hazy IPA and the cider was a sangria flavored cider.

- Angory Tom - part of the same network as RTGame, deals with more indie games
- ANTI-CHEF - cooking, recreates dishes from historically famous chefs

- I did a thing - Australian that has (seams to have) no sense of safety that creates questionable things

- Splitsie - Space Engineers YouTuber from Australia
- The Spiffing Brit - Video Game exploiter, also in the same network as RTGame and Angory Tom

- NileRed - Chemistry YouTuber that does interesting things
- McNallyOfficial - lock picking YouTuber that does mostly shorts
- LockPickingLawyer - probably the most famous lock picking YouTuber, his April Fool's videos are really great
- Joe Zieja - Voice Actor that plays games, he is Claude in Fire Emblem and Wriothesley in Genshin Impact (which is where I know him from)
- Tasting History with Max Miller - recreates historical dishes/recipes, and Max is a great host
- Marques Brownlee - tech reviewer
- Jared Dines - Music (metal) YouTuber, his unboxing of his 16-string Mountain Dew Theme guitar is blursed and his shred collaborations are really great, with more and more big names joining in the fun

The context is that there is two versions of my street name, as in North Street Name and Street Name. For whatever reason their system has our house on North Street Name, while we live on Street Name, we told them repeatedly that they our address wrong and they refuses to change it in their system. And the thing is that our address is on the packages. Another thing is the house that they deliver to shares our number, and it doesn't have anyone living there, so we see that the package have arrive, my family has to act like porch pirates for our package.

I mean, Colorado is probably the best case of how to deal with legalization of marijuana, which is what you want, they treat it like alcohol. Which makes more sense than letting people smoke it in public spaces.
And I think New York (home state) is in a similar boat to Colorado, but I can't find anything for this because New York is really lazy when it comes to breaking down their laws, which makes that Colorado site, that I linked above, all the better.
