I’ll go out on a limb and say that Kirbopher wasn’t generally known to be a sexmonster at the time YIIK began its development. Also Pewdiepie and JonTron are on there, in addition to a bunch of other recently alt-right adjacent e-pricks, so you can also have your avatar named after a bunch of anti-semitic racists too :toot:

I honestly don't. at least not yet. I like the aesthetic, it hits just the right spot between interestingly deliberately ugly and just ugly, and the scott pilgrim-style blending of video game visual tropes into urban landscapes works for me. protag is a shithead but that seems to be the point so maybe they'll do it well. idk maybe my standards are just low. either way, good stuff with the LP so far, will be tuning in for more

Episode 2 is currently encoding and should be available tomorrow.

I've chosen new names and I'm going to pretend they're a secret instead of being a mishmash of all of your entries, whichever I thought was funniest at the time. The next episode is where the game gets phenomenally and hilariously lovely.

This post is going to have to be serious for a moment, however.

This is the Elisa Lam post.

Elisa Lam was a student at the University of British Columbia in 2013. Her body was found in the water tank atop the Cecil Hotel in Downtown Las Angeles in 2013 when hotel guests complained that the water tasted funny.

A lot of people knew about this case 1) because it was horrifying; and 2) because of the disturbing elevator footage released by the Los Angeles Police Department. It showed Elisa Lam entering and exiting the elevator, seeming to hide in it, and talking and gesturing outside.

Because of the weirdness of her death and the elevator footage, the internet became rife with conspiracies. We have no idea how she ended up in the tank or where her cell phone went.

Various sites and blogs have spawned explanations for what happened, ranging from sexual assault to accident.

What we're pretty sure of, however, is that she did not die from being pulled out into another dimension by demons while in an elevator.

Yiik heavily homages her death in the upcoming episode. Tastelessly. Mainly because the creator is obsessed with it and tried to recreate shots from the elevator footage in game.

Here's a quote from the developer on reddit.

It still comes in a hair under Pokemon Reborn. YIIK may have made a plot point out of a random woman’s actual murder for... reasons. But at least it didn’t turn pull an Amethyst and turn a friend’s actual suicide into the punchline of a joke at their expense.

Both are still pretty loving gross though.

I'm so sorry for you having to watch this but it's better than giving this game money.

Some audio changes-- I've muted our audio during the game's cut scenes. Unless she says something really, really funny. I've also reduced the game's audio during our conversation, which should help.

Some name changes - our name is now Alex, which the game changed to "True Alex."

When we record, we generally don't include the audio for fear of it getting into the mic on a playback. That's my fear. Katherine just hates this game.
