You would think operating a ride would be a pretty hard job, but it's honestly really easy.

You basically just push a few buttons in the right order, recite a prewritten speel you memorized somtimes, and keep on eye on what's happening. Sure, I'm only getting paid minimum wage to do that, but it's not like that's a particually difficult thing to do anyway.

That is honestly one of the best costumes I have ever did see, actually!

Scarlet Witch...Captain America...technically Spider-Man...Ms. Marvel...whoever is in charge of making these costumes deserves the biggest paycheck possible.

maybe we'll get that early next year...or even late this year. Who knows, considering they're only just starting to film, but I can tell it'll be a badass costume adapted to live action

So I got some good work done recently;


Goblin and Dark Goblin are pretty much done. I just don't have their projectiles perfected.


Red Rose Knight and White Rose Knight are almost finished. I just gotta perfect the last four sprites(on the far right). But they might already be good enough, though? Unlike the Darknuts, they're going to actually show their shields properly here, so they have two side views.

So spent most of the afternoon looking at stuff like how to prepare for travelling post Covid. And honestly I find it fun. In this my parent was right that cycling and taking the train would do me wonders..............if I'm sticking to the western half of my home country.
If I want to go further he suggests me to get something like a motorbike (hmmmm just like what the character in my pfp has...........).

And I have realised I still have my learner's permit that last's for another few years so I might consider getting driving lessons once a bit of the Covid Backlog has died down. It's weird. It's like a part of me is actually prioritising for once in my life.

I’m not much of a theme park guy myself(I was pretty vehemently against our mom getting season passes for this exact park last year: funny how that ended lol)but at the very least, working here in this pretty big park, with a mostly outdoors workspace, a pretty alright workplace environment, and a interesting rewards system where HR basically has a general store only employees can buy stuff from, is WAYYYYY better then working at my local gas station or Mcdonalds. The extra perks that other places don’t offer(like free entry to the park and 50% off practically anything you can buy in the park)are just extra for me.

It does seem like you are enjoying it.

In terms of Moon Knight, I believe they are currently filming in Budapest at the moment. So I don't know if there is any chance of someone taking a secret snap shot of Oscar Isaac in action with the suit, but I guess we will find out eventually.

This month would've been Black Widow's release in theatres before it got delayed to July. Either ways, I got over a whole month before Loki comes to Disney+.

I've only been compensating by watching Invincible, The Boys, and Bad Batch (thanks birthday for quickly compensating the lack of Marvel for me...2 years in a row)

Guh-Huzzah! Guh-Huzzah! , osby osby

Alright, part 2 of endgame is here at last.

Before you open the following spoiler tag tho, know a few things:

1) This might be the LONGEST POST I EVER WROTE ON THIS FORUM, OR PERHAPS MY ENTIRE TIME ON THE INTERNET, SO....make sure to take your time while reading it. :)

2) While there is jokes here and there, due to the nature of the game itself and who I am. I am going to talk about very serious topic and in a VERY serious & personal ton. While I did hide some parts that are REALLY touchy, I still think it's fair I warn you before you jump into the shark hole or somethin'. Just in case it's too much for you, it's not your day or somethin' or you just don't care that much. It's OK if you feel like this, and so long you stay polite, I be cool if you said you didn't like those part that much. Tho hopefully, you still enjoymost of the ride

and

3) It's less for you two, and more anyone who doesn't know Omori that much: DON'T SPOIL YOURSELF BY READING THIS SPOILER TAG...my feeling on it won't really mean much if you haven't played it or atleast watch a playthrough or the like. If you're really that curious, play Omori and come back here. It's a game worth to experience yourself as blind as possible if you can handle the serious theme it put on the table.

If you already played Omori tho, like osby & Guh, then disregard that last point, and feel free to join the Last Resort, baby!


With that all said...here. we. go.

After managing to almost getting all the sidequest done in Faraway Town without too much spoilers. "grumble, grumble" and doing alot of activity with the all the gang reunited at last. (Kel ate the whole pizza and Sunny is gamer)

We finally went to Sunny backyard...but not getting some ship teasing between Aubrey & Sunny, hohoho.

tomboy gurl & depress twink moment aside, the gang return to where everything "began" in a sense, before the coming back to their old treehouse and getting the last photo back.

Aubrey run off to the tree again, and after realizing how much of a jerk she was, the group forgive her and we get perhaps one of the best picture of them all.



You know, I once thought that it would be a long time before a RPG cast could give me so much feel and be so likeable, like say, the cast of Undertale & XB2, but this game....this game basically came out out of nowhere, and time and time again, it manage to make it's character so enjoyable to follow, while still giving them flaws that make them more human, without all of them being sad sad boyz/girls all the time.

Writting interesting character is hard, writting that you can like characters is also hard, having them both likeable & interesting can be EXTREMELY challenging, but when it's done juuust right...hehehe, it just make you want to keep playing, which is the best thing a video game could do some might say.

I also like to note that, while the Headspace version of those character are flanderized younger version of those characters, that don't really develop or even matter to the plot toward the end. I personally feel that, without those headspace version, something would be...missing, absent from this game narrative. Idk if Omocat could have done a better job with them, maybe she could have, but for what's actually here. I'm so glad I went to those quirky adventure with them, and while I love the real cast as much if not more, it's thanks to those dream version that I care in the first place. So thank you, Omocat & co. :039:

But yeah, feelingZ aside, we gotta help Basil now, so after some checking to the other houses, we go right to Basil home to help him deal with his problems before Sunny goes away tomorrow. He won't open the door to his room, but it's ok, because IT'S PARTY BED TIIIIIIME!~

Joke aside, this last sweet moment before chaos goes down is really sweet, and seeing pictures of the group sleeping is a real good last "feelsgood" moment....before we return to White Space, as Sunny.



The look in his eyes...this is like the first time he ever went to White Space as himself, not Omori. I wonder if it show that White Space power as weakened too much to protect Sunny from the trauma from that day, hence the stare here, but that is left to speculation. And the floor as Sunny throw the black bulb in front of Omori himself, whose purpose was to protect Sunny from the truth, yikes...

Something reveal itself...all of it's forms, one by one, tho it's the very & last time Something base form actually attack Sunny, as it otherwise only look & stare. Still, Sunny can't hide anymore, he has to Overcome the real, awful truth...and the sight of his sister body hanging from a tree..

This freakin' game, man.

A very nice tree we found, Basil talk to us for a bit (wonder if it's actually the Stranger talking here, free from the corruption of Something), and we return riiiiiiiiight into nightmare fuel land.The following events being probably in my top 10 of most scary moment in Omori if i'm being honest. You won't believe number 7!

Joke aside, you can really tell how much this traumatized Sunny, and the way his body decade until he look straight-up demonic show also ho much he hate himself for killing his sister. Even though it was a accident, it's still his fault in his mind, and he deserve less than nothing....

Jesus christ...this section...

But yeah, experiencing and reading the unused text for the black album, it really just show how the Death of Mari & the Birth of Something affected Sunny & Basil for the worse. I read somewhere that Basil is a monster for doing this and that he got no commeunpance for his actions....but did he really tho???

Being traumatized for life & living every day as a stress out wreck of a human being is no easy-peasy free "got away" jail card. Especially at the age he was, he ain't no pure "ohohoh kawai good flower boy UwU" who did nothing wrong, but he ain't a absolute monster either. It's much more complicated to me, and I think putting him in either extreme is a wrong way to go about it, but that's just how I feel here.

Regardless, we finally wake up...and can I say, the fact you can go back home or sleep and let Basil suicide is just ULTRA ****-up? More so if Sunny commit suicide in his home?

god god god...brief, we do the right decision to enter his room to help him....and when I said right, I didn't meant it was the best way to go about it. 'Cuz what follow are basically two ****-up kids trying to kill each other, as us the player lose all option but fight to try to survive...until we hit 10 on the bar.
Sunny_mental_breakdown.gif

If there was a picture following the definition of "mental breakdown" and the picture could animate, I think this gif would win the spot here and there.

Seeing Sunny being so afraid & unable to control his emotions any longer as he realize that it's only getting WORSE AND NOTHING IS BEING OK FOR EITHER PARTY. THIS IS THE WORST ALL-OUT ATTACK EVER, ATLEAST IN MY RIGHT EYE OPINION- OH WAIT, I JUST LOST IT, AMAZING, TRULY WONDERFUL.


Ahem, ahem....

Breakdown breakdow aside, both boyz drop to the floor...and we return to a more...dream-like version of Faraway town, as we finally remember the good time we had in the past - the actual memory of it, not some fantasy version of those event like in Headspace - and Sunny...finally show his emotions when he describe stuff to us, the player.

I said mutliples time before how the little details are really make any form of arts special & unique on it's own, and that little detail of Sunny getting more quirky & showing how he feel about mundane object truly hit me hard on the moment. He wasn't talking, but I felt I knew so much more now than if he did talk, and that, is why I think Sunny is one of the best silent protagonist I have seen in a looong while. (Maybe Kris from Deltarune will dethrone him, but for now, hard to tell 🤷‍♀️)

Brief, we finally enter the room Sunny been trying to forget existed all this time...and we fund the broken violin. The reason it all started....

Now, i'm not going to say much about the "playing the happy ourselves" section. Not because I have nothing to say or because it was bad, but because I feel this post is already getting VERY VERY long, but also because I want to come back to it later in a section that is much more persona. So please understand, and know for now that this section really hit me hard...

After all of this, all the suffering, all the good memories, Heaspace, Black Space, the Real World...we come back to where it all started, White Space, where the last obstacle, the real final boss reside....Omori.

Now, in a way, you can't really lost this fight (you can get a actual game over, but only if you die VERY early on) nor really win it, which at first glance make the last challenge of the game (not counting the actual last challenge being Humprey) not very...fair or fun....but considering everything that happened until this very fight, it only make sense, doesn't it?

The unfairness as the fight goes on (Omori erase move making you weaker and weaker while it get more powerful with each phases), the background & Omori getting more and more twisted and nightmarish (those hanged bodies...) and the music....changing from a actual music to a unholy mix of horrible noises that get louder and louder....and what Omori say to Sunny....it's like fighting actual depression itself, because for Sunny, it literally is. In real life, there's no way to real way to win against it, you can suppress it for a time...but one day, it will come back in soem form, and hit you perhaps even harder than before....

I won't go into too much details, but I myself suffered from depression & extreme out of nowhere panick attack in the past. I can really relate to alot of the element in this game...but this fight...and this line....

"You're useless...less than useless...you're sick"

Warning: I am about to get very personal in the spoiler tag below. If you do not wish to read it for one reason or the other. Then feel free to not open it, I know it's a hard subject for some, so don't feel bad if you don't read it, I understand it all too well.

.....I can't put it into words.....how much it hit me the first time I read it....and to this day, I still get this feeling on occassion. That i'm truly worthless, or worse, just a sick human being in general. Hiding under a persona that is much more friendly & cool than the person who i'm actually i'm...atleast, that's the feeling I sometime get. I really can't tell who I am sometime. I also don't have much if any friends irl, and my memories is really bad on occassion, especially when it come to peoples I once knew and haven't seen in years. Just the fact I can't even remember their names when I do see some of them again just make me feel sick inside, and there alot of other things I won't go in details there that bring me some sort of happiness...but also make me feel such a piece of garbage for one reason or the other, even though I like to believe deep down that I am a alright person, sometime, my actions don't reflect it. I can never fully remove that horrible sense of dread, and that's why this fight....while not fun in a video game sense, just work so well for this story.

I hate how hard it hit me deep down...but I also respect it so much for nailing that feeling so well, and why it's probably one of the most scary & saddest moment in all of Omori. Or even the all the games I played all over the years...all thanks to 1 line of a dialogue, mixed with a cacophony of sounds & distorted imagery, in a fight in a video game that you can't win at all.

Bravo, Omocat, truly, bravo
With that all said, we, the player & Sunny eventually lose this battle.....but just because we lost at our lowest moment, doesn't mean we can't get up and still try to do the right thing, even if it's ultimately meaningless. We're humans, we're meant to get back up and face whatever challenge that bring us down and succeed, it's in our history, our genes, it's our...choice. Do we give up now, or try again and see what the future bring?

...I think you know what happen next.
Mari...despite having her life cut so young. Never truly left the world of the living in a sense. Her memories, her thoughts, her influence...all of it can still be felt with our cast in various way to this day. It's impossible to make new memories with her in person...but so long as you remember the person you really care and continue moving forward...they will still be here with you, deep inside your heart. Balancing out whatever negative feeling you might have sooner or later.

Of course, it's not that easy to deal with the death of someone you love & knew for a very long time, but it's something that is always good to remember: we're not perfect, and we will never be, and that's OK, so long you keep moving forward, eventually, the pain will be less strong and you eventually be able to succeed in one way or the other....all you have to do, is just try.

After this beautiful music passes, Sunny fall in Omori arms...and Omori resign. Never truly gone, but ready to accept Sunny moving forward, because they're both the same person. It will be painful...but it's better than being stuck in a endless cycle of fake happiness and regression. Sunny will never be able to change his past & the error he made...but at least, he be able to cry and express who he truly is.
Seeing Sunny cry when he wake up at the hospital..is so powerful. So many stories have tried to make the stoic character finally express emotions after various hardsip, to more or less success, but that moment....sniff....

After seeing the flowers of the peoples we helped in town, we get out of the room and see...the Headspace version of the gang one last time. If you know the bad ending if you say "no" on the game over screen....them moving where the balcon is take a very dark meaning. Seeing those goofy version of our friends we know for so long, run away as they wait Sunny to follow them up is just...so sad.

Yet, even without the Stranger help, we know where to go, no more running away, no more lies, the gang need to know the truth. Truth that might break their friendship once again...or not, depending of who you ask, the answer will vary, but for me....even if be really hard to swallow for Kel, Aubrey & Hero. I believe that, with time, they too be able to move on, and alongside Sunny & Basil, a new adventure in their life will begin.

Something is no more, it's time to move on and start anew
---

And this, my friends, are all my thought on Omori, or atleast, the Sunny Route.

I like to first apologize for the length and getting so personal & perhaps....pretentious at time?

Idk the right words to use, but I definitly wrote alot here, so if anything is too "samey", I wouldn't blame you for that. Long post are NOT my strong point in the slightest lol, but still, I did it before, and I did it now, and I hope this report truly shown my feeling on this wondeful game that is Omori.

Now, there's still the Omori Route, right? Will I share my feeling on this forum when I decided to do it?

Well, my good friend, that is a very good question...because I have no ****ing clue at this point.

The thing is, is that this game from what I call: "Undertale Happy Ending Syndrome" AKA "You love the character so much, thatafter the ending, you don't want to play the route where they will basically suffer, no matter what content the game throw at you or anyone else say".

To this day, I haven't done a single Genocide Run. Despite me having finished the game for some time now and knowing VERY WELL what I am missing out. I know those aren't real peoples with actual choices or belief, and that Santa and the Queen of England aren't real, but goddamnit, I WANT THOSE CHARACTES TO BE HAPPY, SO THAT I CAN BE HAPPY WHEN I THINK ABOUT THEM ;_;

Melo-Drama aside, real talk: I don't know right now, I do want to play the bonus content the route offer, but replaying all of headspace without much variants & getting everything I had on my Sunny Run is definitly going to push the date for a while. I could speedrun it, but I feel it wouldn't enjoyable for me, so we will see.

I may also not write report if I do play it. Mostly because writting those reports were a real pain at time. Mostly because I forgot points I wanted to talk or wrote in a way that end up not up to my standards. I still had alot of fun writting those, don't get me wrong, but like I said before: long posts aren't my thing, and I don't wanna force myself if I don't feel like it. Soooo if I don't any more of those for a while, you know why.

And....I think that's it.

If you readed AAAAALLLLLLLLL of this....well first of all, you have lots of patience and free time on your hand.

and second of all....I hope you enjoyed it.

Thanks for reading & caring about my opinion on this weird funny little forum.

I hope you have a wonderful day, and I see you...next time. ^^


oh, and sorry for any typo
