Also, the clown is an awesome idea. Erin, did you happen to read the Kingkiller Chronicle?

:) Thank you!

I hadn't heard of it until now. It looks good. I'll give it a look at some point.


Ah, I see. It's just that the True Clowns sounded a bit similar to the Edema Ruh to me.

And no problem. :P.

Well, the Edema Ruh seem to be based on the Roma, who have a stereotypical image as travelling entertainers, which is what partially inspired the idea of true clowns. The other inspiration was the Krikkit from Life, the Universe, and Everything. I like the idea that things we do for sport and entertainment are an imperfect reflection of an otherworldly species. Plus I just like clowns.

In Italy, the stereotypical image of Roma is: cutthroaths and thieves.
I don't condone said image, but it's quite widespread.

Yeah, that's the less wholesome side of the stereotype. :(

The Roma?

Romani people. An ethnic group. Gypsies, to use a less politically correct term.

As Linkara says, they're so often portrayed as evil, but they're just trying to make people happy.

I imagine it must be amusing. :P.

Then again, all I can imagine is someone flipping out at a guy yelling "Objection!"

The logic can be really shaky sometimes. It annoys him, but he's funny about it.

You're going to give HAL ideas.

I've never played those games, so I wouldn't know.

They're fun, but frustrating sometimes. The best part is the characters.

In Phoenix Wright's case, it's because the game expects you to make some ridiculous leap of nonsense logic or because something you feel really proud of yourself for figuring out is just given to you anyway.

I can imagine how the latter can be frustrating. I think it's happened to me before.

But when they're good, they're fantastic.

I'm so tired. But if I go to sleep now, I'll be even more tired when I have to get up in a couple hours.

For some reason, pretending to be a misogynistic asshole is fun. Indi does not do well to stop this unhealthy amusement.

Granted, I'm encouraging it for the lulz. Although we should get back on topic soon.
