One of Vanillaware's co-founders (Takehiro Shiga) drew this cool illustration depicting the structure of Chunsoft's most famous sound novels. This was posted around the time 13 Sentinels was entering production, so the devs may have been studying these sound novels while conceptualizing the game.

"Luigi wins by doing absolutely nothing" is a meme started with a fan video in 2009, which got so popular Nintendo themselves referenced it repeatedly. However, the earliest instance of Luigi winning by doing nothing actually comes from a game and predates the meme by 5 years.
!["Luigi wins by doing absolutely nothing" is a popular Internet meme about Luigi that started with a video uploaded by YouTube user KlydeStorm in 2009, in which Luigi wins against CPU opponents in Mario Party 2 without performing any inputs. It became so popular that Nintendo's own social media accounts and official videos referenced it.
[A post from SuperMario_UK on Twitter]
He does nothing. How does he always win?
[A subtitle on Nintendo Monthly Rewind-April 2021 on YouTube]
But will Luigi win by doing nothing?
However, the first instance of Luigi winning while doing absolutely nothing actually comes from Nintendo themselves. In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Luigi wins a drama contest while playing grass, a role requiring him to lie down and be silent for the whole play. While it might at first appear that the other actors's performances were responsible for the victory, it turns out that everyone specifically liked Luigi doing absolutely nothing.
[Screenshots of PM:TTYD]
Hayzee was a producer, and he was looking for actors to go on stage with him.
The script was great, but I got really hosed, Bro... My "role"... My "part"...
...Was grass! I played grass by the side of the road! Grass, Bro! Grass!
I just sprawled out on the ground and had to be silent. Everyone but me had lines...
In the end, our musical was the talk of the town, and we won the Drama Slam.
But wow! Outside were tons of fans! MY fans! Fans of grass! They swarmed me!

Seems like DQ7R will take a few more weeks to arrive.
Which is okay, because I'm still at 2/Nine Sols.

Once that's done, it's probably time for Nine Sols.
And switching disks for Hell is Us, so that it can install and be ready

As for PS5, I want to finish Ghost of Yotei today, should only be one or two story quests left, which will also get me the platinum trophy for it.
I struggled a lot with that Takezo fight but ended up switching to a lower difficulty for it.

With DQ7R coming on Thursday, I probably won't start anything new on Switch. Maybe return to Hades II for a few runs, since I didn't reach the story end yet and they apparently made some changes.

Done with Blasphemous one.
I got ending A yesterday and.. maybe I shouldn't go for new game plus and the third ending. Already having trouble with one of the bosses required for it, and if they have even more HP then..
Better to watch it somewhere before starting the second game.

Since it felt like I was close to the end, I looked up some stuff about Blasphemous.
Sounds like I did just one boss too much to lock myself out of the third ending (on the same file).
Did one yesterday and will continue working toward the other today/next time.

Found a nice relic in Blasphemous today.
When trying to "leave" a screen to the south in any other way than stairs/slopes or ladders, it is considered a death.
Now I can jump into holes or from cliffs and end up in new spots on the map.

Besides having subtitles on for regular stuff on TV, I recently started watching (mostly English) shows with the original sounds/voices.
Was funny to catch an episode of Inspector Barnaby/Midsomer Murders with Ben Starr in it.

Though what the next game might be.. mhm. Nine Sols is sitting around and the urge to check it out is getting bigger.
But I also picked up Hell is Us (on sale) yesterday, so there's that too.

As for PS5, still working on Ghost of Yotei. Found a callback to the previous game and reached chapter 2.
I don't want to start anything new there until it is finished.

Since then, I'm playing Blasphemous. The bundle with 1&2 was on sale recently and I took the chance.
Next bigger game should still be DQ7R.

Schade das es die Codes nur noch für die Mega Fan Variante und keine 3 Monate mehr gibt.
Aber gut, wir sind gestern noch zum Müller in der Nähe gefahren, die dann zum Glück die Karten hatten. Und direkt 12 Monate genommen, damit das erstmal erledigt ist.

Mittlerweile soll es also bei Müller die Crunchyroll Premium Codes für X Monate geben.
Vielleicht kann ich dann ja doch ein paar Serien weiterschauen.
