I have noticed that as well.
Small-Talk has diminished.
Substantially.
I know I find it hard to come up with material for small-talk sometimes, but- I still try to keep conversations flowing when I can.
Rather than just a war of Ellipses.
1.5 imperial gallons of tea were consumed during the writing of this postI'm saying normal conversation as in "not life-changing revelations". Those are good, but maybe it might be better to say something like "I got blown up the other day. How was your morning?" There is plenty to just plain talk about, but nobody does it because it occurs in isolated pockets so nobody feels like sharing.

I've been meaning to bring this up for a while, but there are waaaay too many locations now. Mall, ship, upstairs, dream, shrine, main room, kitchen, apparently the cliff and beach came back at some point...

The dream things are done a little too much yeah, but people can easily get to the other locations. A diveristy of locations works better than being stuck in one room all the time, because it creates more freedom.
I like the mall. The mall will not be going anywhere.

It also breaks things up and leaves a bunch of people stranded. This is part of the isolation thing I was talking about. Things have become way too spaced out.

MY SOUL IS DARK BUT MY HAIR IS COLORFUL — Brahian Pokémon AlchemistWe have too many locations because it's causing everyone to splinter off into groups of two or three and is restricting conversation, which, foum game or not, is what this is supposed to be the focus of. And if you didn't find a group in time, you're fucked.
