Dating things I shouldn’t

Watching this after Jaiden's aro/ace vid is so much funnier knowing the context for why she can't figure out what the correct options are.

"Dating....... not a fan" "People like me who do not like people" "But, I do not think I will be casting my line again anytime soon" That, kids, is what we call foreshadowing

Dude as an AroAce, the feeling of doing dating sims for the plot is all too real. Like I remember I downloaded a crazy explicit one as a joke, but instead of doing it for the girl’s attention, it just tried to 100% every quest line in the most impractical way as possible. It was so much more fun that way tbh

Jaiden: "Dating..not a fan." "I like being alone." Me: Ah yes, Jaiden animations, Master of animation and foreshadowing.

After watching Jaiden's video on sexuality, her strongest attraction being towards bank robbery and a literal spaceship begins to make a lot more sense, lmao

Ok so, looking back with a time machine. Jaiden playing a speed dating for ghosts and being more interested in robbing a bank than dating anyone is a HUGE aro/ace mood, as well as her platonic attraction for spooky pete because she thinks he's cool, another HUGE MOOD. Looking back on the old videos it's just like, oooooooh

As an aroace, dating sims are awesome. They’re like getting a little taste of the fun of dating without any of the stuff that makes me want to throw up!

Fran: "Sometimes ghosts get lonely." Jaiden: "I like being alone!" Leaves New trait discovered: Aroace.

Jaiden; “No ghost could win my heart.” Also Jaiden; “ŚPŌØKŸ PĘTÊR”

Normal people: "I like boys!" "I like girls" "i like both" "i like neither" Etc Jaiden:✧ 🎀 𝒢𝒶𝓁𝒶𝑔𝒶 𝓈𝒽𝒾𝓅💕 🎀 ✧

Foreshadowing is a narrative device in which a storyteller gives an advance hint of what is to come later in the story. Foreshadowing often appears at the beginning of a story, and it helps develop or subvert the audience's expectations about upcoming events.

The Namco high story sounds like someone explaining a weird dream they had

"I still feel alive, just disocciated." Me: "Jesus, that took a surprisingly existential turn."

She really did just play those dating sims for the plot, huh

when i played namco i chose the davesprite rout and the entire time hes like "yeah i know im a videogame im literally a game guide" and then SPOILS THE ENTIRE ENDING ITS SO FUNNY

"ah dating.. pause not a fan" our aroace queen <3 also favorite part of the video: 6:27

Jaiden: "Ah dating..... Not a fan" Four months later Jaiden: comes out as AroAce

Jaiden: "I want to be alone!" Ghost Receptionist: "...I mean, if that's the case, then you don't need to be here!" Jaiden leaves the speed dating area Jaiden: WAIT--

Coming here two years later to say that Speed Dating For Ghosts is a genuinely evocative and haunting (pun unintended actually) experience. Riley's romance is QUALITY, and just in general the game is a well-written lesson in peeling back facades and bravado and seeing how remorse is a powerful motivator for change. I'm glad I gave it a shot and weirdly it WAS because of the overly critical review here lol. I was like "... I feel like the surface wasn't very well scratched here, lemme check it out." Glad I did.

Fun Fact: You can replay the "dates" by clicking on the room's door after the circuits have finished.
