I hope they pirated Minecraft on those computers. I think Rocky would like it

I've been considering doing a full dgs replay for the fifth localization anniversary coming up, and I love dgs but the main thing I'm dreading there is the pacing. it feels like every game after aa4, regardless of whether it was written by takumi or yamazaki, has the cases get more and more convoluted to the degree that it can start to really drag itself out. lots of times this isn't to the detriment of the case itself (though sometimes it is. turnabout ablaze you know what you did) but I do find it refreshing how quick it was to get through turnabout corner considering I am now a working adult with a full time job and independent living responsibilities that I didn't have when I first got into the series. I don't feel like it's a huge chunk of time I have to rearrange to play these cases on the days they would take place in real time. if I do this with soj in a couple years though it'll probably kill me. partially because I do not have nearly as much fun with soj as I do with aa4, partially because of how long those cases are and so close together.

It fucking better.

I hope you’re enjoying the life I gave you
