I'm not one to believe in cosmic irony or whatever but I do still think that going to a serial killer podcast irl meetup is tempting fate a bit

https://www.reddit.com/r/HobbyDrama/comments/nnq2c3/video_games_my_mistake_was_thinking_that_video/quote:My mistake was thinking that video games are art. I wanted to make a game about a guy who’s a piece of poo poo unlikable character, who by the end of the game has to transform. But too many gamers, when they look at this, when they play a game, they’re so used to having to identify with the character, that if they play a game where the main character is unlikable or has to do some bad stuff, they immediately get triggered by it.

He wanted to write the video game version of a Haruki Murakami novel, and by that he means he lifted a passage from a Haruki Murakami novel that was written after the game is set and put it in Alex's inner monologue and then later tried to justify it by saying Alex read the book and was processing what he was seeing by remembering it

Did i mention that their previous game that YIIK literally puts on a pedestal wasn't pulled from Steam just because it was so poorly made and broken as to be unplayable, it was pulled from Steam for plagiarising music

Kobold Sex Tape posted:a friend streamed the demo for the new stuff that got put out a bit ago and its so weird. i have no idea what to make of it. the visuals are like genuinely really good in a lot of spots now, and i think it's clear they know the criticism people had... but i cant tell if theyre responding to it or lashing out at it. like. all the alex monologues were still there, but now they had high effort cutscenes where he's like MCing at some imaginary standup comedy club and every one has unique animations and stuff. i cant say it doesnt make them more bearable but also lmao how did you stick to these guns. whole thing felt like a trauma response to the dragging they got and it's impossible to tell the sincerity of any of it Well, he made it skippable! There is a part of me that is rooting for YIIK just because the guy is still at it. It’s a terrible game with awful execution, but I can see the kernel of a good idea in there, and I appreciate that they haven’t given up on it yet, even they maybe should I can gather that, at the end of the game, the reveal is supposed to be “Alex YIIK is such a self absorbed jackass that broke reality so he could date a parallel universe of himself, and now this girlfriend-Alex is trying to take things over by manipulating the Player-Alex, until the OTHER Player-Alex decides to pull the plug on the machine that keeps the universe broken.” Or something. I will be frank, this is just me trying to find something that makes sense of what the hell was going on after everyone dies and pandaaaaaaaaaa happens. I don’t think this is a horrible idea for a story, but if that IS what they were going for, YIIK spends way too much time on whatever they were going for in the first half of the game. I can’t be mad about the game, though. Kiss Rory is one of the funniest drat things I have seen.

Even if you think the team involved has talent, which is entirely possible, I think it would be a far better idea for them to make a new game rather than spend years and years trying to fix incredibly bad rpg "YIIK".

I genuinely like the aesthetic of the game and think more than a few of its songs slap. These guys would absolutely be better served by just working on something else, because they’re currently funnelling this talent into a game that’s already a bad joke. There’s a video about YIIK I like that concludes in a similar place, though it also adds the caveat that they’re looking forward to this relaunch in part to see if it gets any worse. https://youtu.be/avX7hqzT7ag?si=WFZaODe4E-nPyI6u Love the thumbnail. Edit for the post below: But… the game takes place in 1999! Unless he’s talking about the player YIIK that shows up at the end of the game because that’s implicitly after 2017, but… ????? i am tim! fucked around with this message at 14:10 on Apr 19, 2024 |

my favorite tidbit about yiik is that (according to its devs and small handful of fans) it does not take place in the 90s, it takes place in the present day as an idealized fantasy about a conversation on an internet message board that alex made up in his head and then the devs called people media-illiterate idiots for not understanding that funny enough every time you ask one of yiik's few defenders to point to any hint of that apparently being the case, they just say it's too complicated and they can't just point it out, you have to put it together yourself etc etc. ie it's total horseshit. even the interviews from right after the game came out seem to contradict this narrative, so it seems pretty clearly that it is some poo poo they made up afterward to make their embarrassing flop of a lovely game seem smarter than it is, which is a hell of a thing to do to a game that is already the smugliest-written game in history.

Endorph posted:every single true crime podcast is like 'he was an amazing mastermind...' and then ten minutes in its like 'a woman escaped him and told the cops his address and that he was doing murders but the cops called her a stupid bitch and ignored her' and then 40 minutes in its like 'he drove past a cop with fifteen bodies in his trunk and the cops gave him a thumbs up' True, learning about serial killers can give you depression. It's not just the police that's stupid though, society itself can put up a long line of hurdles for the police to overcome on their way to bumble to victory. This short exchange about true crime made me remember the old German movie "M" about a pedophilic child-murderer, in which Fritz Lang true crimed his way through a bunch of real-life cases to get his movie murderer, and the case of Peter Kürten is especially dire: Women giving descriptions that are all unusable because they didn't realize their attacker was using make-up to appear younger (some victims managed to miss the mark by ca. 24 years), one woman even suddenly changed her story and claimed she had chocked herself and thrown herself into a river -the only thing dumber about that last bit is the police actually believing her. The three saddest (and most ludicrous) points from his career were: 1. At one point he killed a nine-year-old girl basically in front of his apartment and escaped notice, despite being the only violent robber, rapist and general no-good-doer around. Seriously, the guy had raped and robbed his way across Germany and had spent most of his life in prison, then suddenly a dead girl lies on his doorstep. Nobody cared. 2. After one of his killings, he returned to the crime scene and found a cop searching around with a dog. He gave the cop some tips to find the stuff he had taken and later dumped from his latest victim. The cop didn't think this was in any way suspicious. 3. When the cops closed in on him, they first send him a polite Vorladung and even politely went to his home to arrest him. The German police then went into full slapstick mode and kept missing him, while Peter Kürten just went out to get his unemployment money, not even knowing he had been caught yet.  but yeah, a lot of serial killing is the police just being goddamn stupid, the rest after that is humans being stupid in general oh yeah, and you two guys watching Kürten walk off with the five-year-old girl you knew fairly well, I'm sure that totally unknown man you've never seen before is just her daddy, you loving suck I would never be able to listen or view anything related to true crime unless it's wacky hijinks with people stealing or breaking poo poo, but murder and rape? gently caress off with that, you're almost as bad as the killers, as far as I'm concerned. Peter Kürten's last words before he was judged guilty and executed can be summarized as: "...you really made it too easy." A perfect comment on humanity, I think.

Didn't YIIK have an actual ending that properly resolves all the dangling threads? There's no audio but it exists in the games files and players were baffled as why they would cut it.
