That's what I figured. I maybe exaggerating, but I feel like I have never seen a game whose core is as bad as YIIK. Like there are worse games, but just the concept of YIIK seems so bad.

I didn't expect the golden alpaca fight video to actually get hits. I thought it was a goons exclusive. the grunting in the battle theme is terrible.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47XW7jx9F9k here's a combat video with enemies with only 2 enemies with mercifully low health that takes 4 and a half minutes to complete Tired Moritz posted:I didn't expect the golden alpaca fight video to actually get hits. I thought it was a goons exclusive. that one went around on twitter and a couple of my other ones hit 4chan (which, shockingly, meant i had to disable comments on the one where they attempt to write about race)

Holy gently caress that analog stick minigame lasts SEVENTEEN loving seconds and doesn't instantly kill the enemy For reference, I quit playing Record of Argarest War after two battles because random encounters took too long

I'm just thankful that among other things the DK64 stream became all anyone could talk about just after yiik's launch for good reasons and a good cause.  It looks like anywhere else, yiik has sunk without a trace.

so is there anything actually postmodernist about yiik like the most i can glean from these clips is that maybe, maybe the golden alpaca is supposed to be some sort of absurd semiotic sign, where the signifier is something stupid and asinine as a way to conceal what it's signifying. but that'd rely on there actually being some narrative or thematic follow-up to the golden alpaca and i just don't know if i can expect that. and even then I don't know if making bizarre metaphors is really enough to classify you as postmodern, or else Vogon poetry would qualify.

it's postmodern bcs it's ~*wacky*~ if other posters are to be believed the point of the actual real true ending is that postmodernism is bad and you should reject it. still not sure if the dev knows what postmodern means https://twitter.com/donleykogn/status/1087584151849455616

Think of it as irony and sincerity combined like Voltron, to form a new movement of astonishing power. Or think of it as the absence of irony and sincerity, where less is (obviously) more. If those strain the brain, just think of Evel Knievel. Let's be frank. There's no way to appreciate Evel Knievel literally. Evel is the kind of man who defies even fiction, because the reality is too over the top. Here is a man in a red-white-and-blue leather jumpsuit, driving some kind of rocket car. A man who achieved fame and fortune jumping over things. Here is a real man who feels at home as Spidey on the cover of a comic book. Simply put, Evel Knievel boggles the mind. But by the same token, he isn't to be taken ironically, either. The fact of the matter is that Evel is, in a word, awesome. ... Our greeting: a double thumbs-up. Our credo: "Be More Awesome". Our lifestyle: "Maximum Fun". Throw caution to the wind, friend, and live The New Sincerity. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Sincerity posted:One such example of a "new sincerity" movement is the brony fandom, generally adult and primarily male fans of the 2010 animated show My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic which is produced by Hasbro to sell its toys to young girls.

new sincerity is a failure in that while its great to promote being sincere and genuine at a certain point it just becomes an apolitical aesthetic and it kinda starts playing into things like "softboys" where we begin to fetish purity and lack of irony over being a genuinely good and honest person. e: also jesse thron may be a dork but i think there are way more insufferable people lol ee: like i went to college with this guy who wore a mad hatter hat around, that was pretty insufferable Snooze Cruise fucked around with this message at 07:46 on Jan 22, 2019 |

I thought a postmodern video game was MGS2. And after that I read The New York Trilogy because I figured it inspired MGS2 but while I remember finding it interesting, I never understood the point of it or what the message was or anything.

For anyone who is interested in learning a very small amount the transition from Postmodernism to New Sincerity, I think this youtube video is about the extent of what the guy knows about it since it's almost word-for-word what he says in that final computer text document https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2doZROwdte4
