Welcome to WHITE SPACE.
You have been living here for as long as you can remember.
:omori-miserable: OMORI is a critically-acclaimed indie role-playing game, made by OMOCAT (group) and directed by OMOCAT (person). It released on December 25th, 2020, after nearly seven years of development and delay following a successful Kickstarter campaign. Made in RPG Maker MV, it takes inspiration from Earthbound, Mother 3, and Yume Nikki in its premise, style, and atmosphere.
OMORI follows the titular OMORI, in his adventure across the magical lands of HEADSPACE alongside his childhood friends—KEL, AUBREY, HERO, and non-combatants MARI and BASIL. There’s something amiss, hanging over the party, but you just can't tell what it is.
Elsewhere, in the 90’s-esque setting of FARAWAY TOWN, a boy named SUNNY (or whatever you want, really) deals with an incoming moving day, faced with a hanging choice of a last-minute attempt of reconciliation with his years-estranged friends before he is to leave, or retreating further into the warm embrace of hikikomoridom.
OMORI is a story-centric turn-based RPG with a relatively simple battle system. The main gimmick of the battles is the EMOTIONS system. Each character is able to affect the emotions of both the party and the enemies, and the enemies can do the same. Emotions function as a sort of rock-paper-scissors mechanic, as each of the three main emotions are strong against one other emotion and weak to the one that’s left. Emotions provide stat changes that can enable or break strategies, so make sure to pay your party members' states and statuses heed.
With a vibrant and charming aesthetic, gorgeous art, banger tunes, as well as being the only work that has ever made me genuinely cry, I cannot recommend this game enough. Today is the second anniversary of its release. It’s so hard to talk about what makes it so unique, good, and memorable without spoiling it, so I hope you’ll forgive me for being a bit vague with my recommendation! If you’re able to, go in as blind as you possibly can. Hopefully you’ll share this sentiment when you finish!
OMORI is available on Windows, Mac, Switch, PS4, and Xbox. It is marked ‘playable’ on Steam Deck. Currently, if you buy it on Steam, it is on a 30% sale, going for 14$ USD until January 5th. I think the console version is more expensive, in general. I’m not exactly sure, though.
Look at all of us…

But we should be happy that they happened at all…
Let’s make some new memories together, okay?

My sisters modeling career is taking her to New York and I'll be accompanying her. I still can't get over how she blew up so quickly to be traveling internationally. Hopefully the NYC anarchists are a little more tolerable this time around.

what does this mean?
Welcome to WHITE SPACE.
fuck, i thought we weren't on reddit anymore?
i'll be here all week
What bimbo set up two factor authentication on my account using a burner email and then forgot the password of said burner email? I'm gonna give her a piece of my mind.
Pshh, don't be absurd, such an intelligent and sexy user would never make such a mistake
No one cis read this
Trans comrades, hello
Happy holidays, you are the best of humanity and easily the best part of this website, hope you you feel as welcomed with your friends and family as you are loved here 💖
warm take: big dogs are scary. not just pitbulls but also German Shepard and shiz. herbivores better, so much more chill usually.
Wolves are big. Bigger than you’d think. Much bigger than “dog sized”. A large dog starts to enter that envelope of “this is too much dog, it must be a wolf” for you, I guess.
Also the breeds had been purpose bred for long forgotten purposes, with demands that the modern world cant meet, so large wolf-sized animal without basic needs fully met? I get you.
Still love large dogs tho :gigachad-hd:
:wtf-am-i-reading: Local bimbo dies attempting to give "scritches" to grizzly bear
“Yeah, i totally get how this could’ve happened. i wouldve done the same”

Volunteered at a wildlife rescue and made friends with a more or less raised in captivity bear and yes, yes they are and you WILL really wish you could pat the bear but you shouldn't pat the bear even if you're really sure it'll be okay.
If I recall most large dogs have a higher incidence of attakc than "nuisance breeds"
no, big dogs that can kill you but choose not to are often the cutest
Yes. 100%. Dreaming of moving to one of the cities in China that has a weight and size limit on dogs lol.
Wait I'm not confident in the weight limit part. Would by really weird to be like "sorry laika, you've put on some weight" :the-doohickey:
I don't like dogs, and I hate all the ridiculous crap that if you don't like dogs then you must be a bad person
I've been scared of chows ever since my aunt and uncle's neighbor was mauled to death by her 2 chows.
Dog owners will be like "your cat wouldnt hesitate to eat you if you died 😂👌" and then their pet literally ends a human life
Smuggling is morally correct
I should be allowed to transport and release Rattus Norvegicus on any pacific island I want
Invasive species? Sounds like the local fauna has a skill issue.
Help, my island has 5 trillion bunnies now and I don't know what to do - :aus-delenda-est:
The foxes are eating all the other helpless creatures what don't know what a fox is! :ohnoes: Now there's 6 million foxes and 6 trillion bunnies!
Get some aristocrats from the ingerland, they can deal with foxes :very-smart:
Ok, less foxes now, but the bunnies are still here and even worse, there is now a fuck ton of bourgeoisie! :lenin-crush-capitalism:
Trying out different alcoholic coffees this morning.

That post about Irish people being colonists really annoyed me.
CW: racism
I'm Irish. I've been called a terrorist because of that. In England, people have told me to stop talking and called me slurs when they heard my accent on public transport. People I know have been refused entry to pubs in England based on their Irish accent. Unionists in the North are essentially facsists, to the point where they have a festival every year where they burn a massive pallets of crates decorated with Irish flags, Irish slurs and effigies of Irish people.
Like yeah, Irish people were never enslaved by Britain, unlike Africans. Our country wasn't pillaged to the same extent as India was. But the Irish people were the first and among the most hated victims of British imperialism. Anti-irish racism is very real and when American shitlibs come in and lump in the Irish with other colonialist nations, they're doing the facsists work for them
Been reading a book called The Sympathizer which is about a communist spy who is embedded in the South Vietnamese army during/after the US/Vietnam War. I'll be interested to look up the author's ideology after finishing it, he certainly nails a lot of leftist language that I don't see often from non-commies, even if he seems critical of Vietnamese communists at times
A lib friend of mine was reading this and I tried to find this out too (haven't read it). Will be curious what you find
A cursory read through some interviews and book reviews don't say much about his politics. He is very critical of America for what it did in Southeast Asia and for its racism at home. But the last chapter of his book ends by drawing a comparison between the French and American capitalists and Vietnamese communists, which gave me big "enlightened centrist" vibes. It's possible that the author was making this comparison to criticize Vietnam for falling into what he considers the same bad behavior as its colonizers, but it's not a fair comparison imo.
I thought it was a good read overall though. A good perspective on Vietnam that's not the typical bloodthirsty American Rambo porn
I know he's a supporter of BLM/defunding the police if nothing else, and that he got into radical politics at Berkeley.
