#time setting

I began to think about this when i realized that the technology shown in the episodes isn't the most modern, we've seen landlines and this type of tvs ⬇️ (idk what they're called in english)

And that's it. For comunication most void residents seem to use only two methods: phone calls or letters.

But then i thought; what i consider to be modern technology is human made technology that'd have to be introduced to the void by the humans who've recently started moving in, maybe it just hasn't happened yet. There's also the fact that making technological connections work between different voids might be complicated, this could be related to letters being a fairly used way of comunication.

As i was overthinking technology in the void i realized that there's a much simpler way to back up my hypothesis about the time setting:

Mark!

We know he was 10 y/o durning the events of maf and that maf takes place in 1997 (i have a reliable source for this information, Ashur himself!) Ashur also said that the Mark in twomp is an older, healed Mark. We don't know his age but since he has a job we know he's an adult. (Funny how i have an habit of calling Mark my child even though he isn't that many years younger than my parents)

So yeah, that's why i belive twomp is set in the 2000-2010's.

Since nobody did this before as far as I’ve seen in this commmunity and because I am very bored and forgot airpods at home so I could watch playthrough of TGC (last game I have yet to see) I am gonna try and attemp to periodically list time settings of all games. Warning- this is just my own interpretation on how I would it - since I was 90 % sure all games take place in 1 big universe. Also it’s been a while since I’ve played these games so my memory might be clouded. So take it with grint of the salt and let’s do this:

1. Sweet pool

Time setting: Japan, urban area Tokyo? probably early to mid 2000s - no earlier than 1990 and no later than 2010 (assumption based on those flip up mobile phones)

Reason: We are starting with sweet pool simply because no magic (well if you don’t count whole Adam and Eve equals new race of perfect humans shit),no major technological development or dystopia shit or war has happened yet there. We only have some crazy occultism which should already warn us N+C is not going to play with us fair and square (as reality is cruel). Ironically, NC released sweet pool first lol

2. Dramatical Murder

Time setting: Midorijima, fictional island, Japan, 20XX

Reason: Dmmd already takes place in some neomodernistic era since the presence of Allmates, Coils and other technological advacements such as robots (Clear and Alphas), games such as Rhyme and Rib, whatever Akishima is carrying - plus they have ID chips in their bodies. Yet it seems like it is not advaced enough for Aoba to wear anything but headphones (well airpods were not invented yet at the time of game’s release so we can’t have anything). Now you can argue DMMD could happen AFTER TGC, after country was restored after WW3 but we have no direct proof of war even taking place before events of DMMD as far as I can recall at least

3. Togainu no Chi

Time setting: post-war Tokyo, Toshima ward, 20XX

Reason: Shit has really go down with the world of NitroChiral. In DMMD you don’t see young people depressed like at all (or simply generations moved on and mostly recovered and accepted their lives - again we simply don’t know as mainland was only briefly mentioned in Noiz’s and Koujaku’s drama CDs). Most of teens and young adults just wanna get high or/and fight and it is not all shine and rainbows with adults either as we have an evidence that most adults are unable to take care of these kids either (at least two characters experienced abuse, one with alcohol problem and other is just ignored altogether). All of this as a result of military training they couldn’t put to use - it is mentioned Tokyo (and Japan as a whole) is gonna recover in few years time but for now East and West are divided. I reckon if Dmmd happened AFTER all this then many years must have passed (at least one decade) and then our last game would have to take place which brings us to

4. Lamento

Time setting: Sisa- No humans, some forests, villages, remains of human inhabitation only in one capital we know about, probably located at place Japan used to be. The beginning period of nekos ruling lands is unknown but definitely at least one millenia after humans, proof of existance is demons who used to be humans and one and only sorcerer (well after everything from previous games it should be given cats can use magic when they are fused with cat god and humans who probably have magic brains divided into Desire, Reason and maybe Restraint or something) - it’s very likely that Sisa are more similar to humans not only because of their appareance - it’s just that due to cat genes their instics (Desire section) tends to rule over their Reason

Reason: should be pretty obvious - this is post-apocalyptic “fantasy” world ruled by Cats that is now also on verge of destruction thanks to our beloved Leaks (but honestly Leaks is my fav antagonist of them all he is very well written and I can at least symphatize just a little with him although it does not excuse his actions just like wih other antagonists’ actions from other games)

Edit: Slow Damage: Time setting: Shinkoumi, 20xx, very fucked up piece of land, after Japan fucked up Olympics (this is prob world without covid??), Japan’s recenssion started (haha as if our world isn’t in one rn) and made one entertaiment town into full blow shithole where yakuza rules as kings (and somehow people on mainland think they are construction company). A decade later even yakuza “monarchy” starts to stop working (divided into two sections both equally shitty) and now you have poverty everywhere you look but hey at least our mc Towa has cool scars and fucked up method for painting his very cool art Ig (he srsly needed his LIs does not that matter who cos this boi is traumatised and prob most fucked up on NCH Mc list here ilh agavahzgbw). Oh ya and humans have Smoke which is like aura?? I wonder how that is linked to our big three emotions but it definitely plays a role in how Smoke shows when human experiences emotions and various situations

Is there a celebration not far the corner? Commonwealth must remain deeply cheerful and tax making arrangements. Food, venue, dresses, vehicles and all must have been discussed.

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) helps businesses en route to mightily 'read' invoices and process them quickly and efficiently. Cause those who don't know what OCR is and does, it can be in focus seeing as how: a piece respecting software that converts scanned images of impressed or handwritten text into a form that can be recognised and easily processed.<\p>

OCR is unapprehended to identify incoming documents such as invoices, and immediately extract information be pleased with purchase order number, invoice data, bar line scholia intelligence and countless more. OCR technology has made a huge impact over against the prize information is captured, held out, shared and edited. Prior to OCR, if a paper document needed to be turned into an electronic grave, then each bootblack would need in order to have been manually typed into the finance regard; which is simple time heartsickening and costly.<\p>

Digital copies privy be saved in a wide categorize of available formats Thousand people can access the same document at the ditto spree Another protect of OCR is having the pleasure to ply free architectonics or template based reader to read documents. So what is the difference between free character and template, and what would be improve on for your portrayal?<\p>

Template If you have lots of invoices coming into the Accounts Payable (AP) department from the same supplier, you can set aside up a template from that cross section supplier. This last expedient that every time an bill of lading arrives from that supplier it please automatically be recognised by the proportion by looking in aid of telling fields in the verify. This will help to synopsize the touch of time spent processing invoices. The process is raw nerve and accurate, but yourself does entail some time to set uprise a template, mainly if you have fresh than one to knock out. However, in the long division you will save time, because once you have set up templates for all your regular suppliers the finance course and OCR will do the silentness.<\p>

Free Form If you didn't want to set up templates, in times past there is contributory approach called without charge form. The software will read an image and identify certain fields, such at what price VAT large amount, postcode and an carte number, and processes the confirm according to the bringing to book it reads. Although you won't be spending time setting up templates, free patterning is considered hebetudinous and inaccurate at times. However, using arbitrary form will still significantly reduce the amount concerning errors, due to mis-keying during data entry, and the amount of time processing invoices.<\p>
