Can some one red pill me on the 25th ward?

that's a hot take and all, but i don't think it's entirely accurate. KtP Suda and Lynch definitely have some similarities, but i feel aside from some common core concepts they branch off into drastically different directions. can't say i've seen Lynch tackle cyberpunk dystopia with memetic viruses and government espionage. Lynch is more focused on the spiritual, and while Suda can certainly touch on that, he uses those common core themes for more grounded stories and allegories.

Government espionage - yeah, don't know where's that from, admittedly. Truth Files didn't introduce any of the sort.
Also, from a grounded, commonsense perspective, Suda's writing is pants-on-the-head retarded. Just compare internet culture depiction in chapter 4 of TSC - and in Placebo.

Bad taste. You read it for Suda.

big titties

i'm thinking you missed a good portion of what TSC was about. not only that but you've made the mistake of comparing him a little too directly to Lynch. an influence is just that, doesn't mean he's going to do the exact same thing. beyond that, why even play Suda games if you dislike his writing? i'm confused.

I meant, TRO/SSO/whatever.
No, I don't.

Friendly reminder there's an NMHIII livestream at 6am EST

is gonna have big titties?

See, I only compare WHAT I KNOW OF MOONLIGHT SYNDROME THROUGH TRUTH FILES to Lynch. I could've read half-completed MS translation too, but after Truth Files I honestly didn't even see any reason, since Truth Files basically made it a point Suda was simply reciting some dumb hearsay and didn't have a slightest clue what he was talking about (hence the virus metaphor, as explained above).

In TSC Suda took a spin on what Truth Files introduced (here and now, highly subjective perspective, Y2K connotations, subcultures as the means to converse on particular topics with likely-minded persons, aforementioned virus-malice), treating all the metahorical stuff in a blatantly literal and heavyhanded manner. While he was doing that, Ooka made the actual sequel to Truth Files not only developing themes from it further, but also deconstructing Transmitter itself and making it apparent Suda is reaction-fishing attentionwhore, who intentionally misinterprets others' words for fun reactipns from thereof, and whose mannerisms are best being simply ignored (this point is directly shoplifted in Matchmaker with its purple suit guy and "I think I am gonna bust a nut" bossfight). See, there is a difference. One guy was actually up to date, another one wasn't, that's what I am trying to convey.
Also I started it due to Suda being a meme, but then discovered that Ooka is simply way more interesting (not to mention infinitely more readable) to me.

now, with all that being the case, how do you feel about this:
>[Masashi Ooka] I wrote a strategy guide of Suda’s “Moonlight Syndrome”, called “Moonlight Syndrome Truth File” in 1997. It is more like a fan fiction of the game rather than an actual strategy guide. In this book, a journalist investigates the cases happening in the game and writes the reports about them. The original idea came from my editor. Suda read that and called me, asking if I wanted to work on the scenario for “The Silver Case”, which was his new game at that time; this was how I started writing for video games.

it's admitted fanfiction from Ooka himself, written based upon Suda's work. i don't think of us can speak for Suda, but i'd say that rather than wanting to make a mockery of Ooka's work, it's much more likely that he admired it and wanted to reworks its contents to fit his original vision. and where TSC is concerned, Ooka is writing a story that complements and supplements that of Suda's half, in other words a world built by a writer you apparently hate. which again, leaves me wondering exactly why you're consuming Suda's work, or why you're in this thread. just because you personally prefer one of the two doesn't mean the other is a hack, no does it mean that the other is attempting to discredit or misinterpret the work of your preferred writer.

jesus christ, typos galore, but the message is there. also forgot the link i took that quote from: hardcoregamer.com/2016/10/15/summer-of-suda-interview-with-grasshopper-manufactures-masashi-ooka/230578/
