Yoko Taro's idea of a "Happy Ending" would be amusing to see.

Fae as an avid follower of VGCW, WVGCW, EDBW, and BWA I would love to know what AI wrestling league you're watching. I didn't quite catch the name when you mentioned it.

I think it was Frog Nugget Federation Wrestling. Here's the first video on YouTube.

So, you know. You don't have to imagine. It exists! You can see what he calls a happy ending with your own eyes.

(And I'm sorry. I just can't imagine children surviving a Taro Yoko game.)

It's a pretty happy ending, even disregarding the fact that it's a Yoko Taro game! But that's neither here nor there.

Yeah that's the one. Fae got a copy of WWE 2k17, I think, and decided to make her own wrestling league.

Regarding the flowers-cult connection, it might be a reference to the Hare Krishnas? They had a thing about giving and/or selling flowers to people and were seen as a cult when they were big.

Regarding Emil's 'age', I don't think he is supposed to have actually grown or aged at all in the timeskip. I mean, he was created/experimented on 1300 years ago. It mentions (in the documents from the mansion lab) that he was put into "storage". I guess we don't know whether that storage means he just didn't age until he became un-stored (which we also have no idea how long ago that was), or whether he is effectively un-aging.

My money is on him being basically immortal, stuck at the age he was weaponized at.

Since she brought it up I have an interesting question for Fae, but if it's too personal I'll understand if she'd rather not discuss it: Do you find that this sort of tragic media helps you deal with your own feelings about these subjects by recontextualising your feelings in a safe environment, or is it a sore spot that you tend to avoid when you can?

Dunno how Fae is gonna respond, but personally, thank you for being much more reasonable and sensitive about such things than most people :unsmith:

Its interesting that you ask that actually because I've never really thought about it but its true.

For context (and for those who don't know) I have pretty severe PTSD from witnessing my aunt's murder during a spree killing in my village a few years ago. Part of recovering from any trauma is learning that you can't spend the rest of your life avoiding things that make you think about whatever traumatic incident you experienced, because it leads to you getting more and more frightened of things associated with that experience and basically makes things worse.

Ever since my aunt's murder I've found solace in stories where characters suffer great hardship. Sometimes they recover and become stronger for it, sometimes they're scarred for life and sometimes they merely just survive while still dealing with the effects of their trauma. Its a way to show myself that there's more that can happen to me in the future than just not recovering and being a scared agorophobe for the rest of my life.

These characters being fictional kinda helps with the guilt too because these awful things aren't happening to real people -- after being through what I've been through I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. But yeah, stories like this, I know they aren't real and while it might make me feel things like it did in that recording sessions, I know nothing bad actually happened to any real people, and seeing how these fictional characters deal with their pain and trauma gives me little clues as to how to deal with my own.

Sorry to get super real in the thread here, but as Artix pointed out, this game is about grief and I'm seeing a bit of a theme of survivor's guilt in there too which are two things I absolutely have a very personal and intimate experience with, so it resonates very deeply with me. If I can use that experience to have interesting discussions about a game that I am head over heels in love with? Well, at least some good came out of it I guess!

Uhhh there should be up to 1080p. I'm at work but let me grab the video I uploaded to double check that. The filesize is 1.8GB though which is about what I would expect from a ~20 minute video.

Edit: Yes, this is a 1080p60 video, as usual. I set the video to upload literally before I went to bed about 10 hours ago, so it might still be processing?

OK cool, I know Verizon is about to take all video streaming quality down a peg on their services and thought they were really going crazy.

Also why do I find myself asking if we are, in fact, the bad guys?

Fae's not wrong that between the Yonah piano theme and just the tone of the voice acting in the cutscene that this last trip to town has a very sombre mood. It's just... not the actual endgame quite yet. :v:
