I'm in a weird place, speaking both english and spanish. On the one side I have the deluxe version on pre-order, but I've always disliked huge books you can't even hold. On the other hand Norma today released the first volume, and it has the transparent layered gimmick dust jacket like the french editions which is just beautiful https://www.normaeditorial.com/ficha/manga/dai-dark/dai-dark-1 But it will take them a while to catch up with the volumes

On the other hand the deluxe edition with glow in the dark cover has bigger pages, bigger art. Which seems like also a very good plus

Bottom line, I'm not sure which version to get! I'm leaning towards the small ones with the transparent dust jackets though. Any thoughts?

Pedi 2 empanadas, tardaron como 40 minutos de mas en traerlas. Cuando el chabon me da el pedido me da 2 cajas enormes. Pienso "hay que ser honesto, a ver si lo meto en un quilombo al pibe" y le digo "che mira que yo solo pedi 2 empanadas, este no es mi pedido".

Me responde que se equivocaron en el local y que podia llevarselas o repartiamos una caja cada uno. Dije bueno ok. Se agarró una caja y se fue.

Pero ahora me quede pensando que darle la mitad fue la peor decision que pudo haber sucedido. Por un lado me podrian reclamar a mi, y se llevo la mitad. Y por otra si estaba bien quedarmelas, por que le dí la segunda caja? En todo caso me debería haber plantado, dicho mira me llevo las dos cajas, le aviso al local, y que me digan que hacer.

Y ahora siento que intente no cagarlo al repartidor, me tentó con algo re turbina y me terminó engañando a mi. Que ademas quedo pegado aunque dudo que pase algo. Opiniones?

I’m working on a small game that mixes a visual novel with an adventure game (in the veins of death mark and zero escape — Story-driven horror adventure with puzzle rooms), and I’m trying to decide how item interactions should work.

Games in this style seem to handle them in two main ways:

1. You pick up an item and can try using it on anything in the environment.
2. You pick up an item, and the option to use it only appears when interacting with something it can actually affect. (Pick up a crowbar, and when clicking on the bolted door suddenly you get 'Use crowbar on door?')

The first approach creates a puzzle: the player has to infer which item belongs where. But it can also become repetitive trial and error. Unless the failed attempts are authored with care—like in Monkey Island, where even wrong combinations often have funny or informative responses—it can devolve into generic “that doesn’t work there” messages.

The second approach avoids that friction, but it also removes part of the deduction.

I wanted to hear some thoughts regarding this subject since both answers have their pros and cons.
