anyways

23:00

Atoli: please give me another chance okay

Me: Girl. Respect Yourself.

Image attachment

wow dang

does that mean I shouldn't start up my LP for rko to be incredibly distracted

oh that's up to you, it's not a competition

(I've actually been making progress)

I just didn't want to spam off topic anymore

23:02

I wonder if you'll finish CS4 before I start

it's really cute that you think that I can't consume more than one content stream

Atoli. Honey.

(extremely eggman voice) I CAN WATCH OVER 70 SIMULTANEOUS CONTENT STREAMS

brb pinging maria to start up higurashi again at the same time

honestly one of the best parts of the game is how obviously depressed atoli is in retrospect

It's true I do write emails exactly like that

Atoli starts talking about like, the lore of the game. Which is funny, because it's fairly clear at this point that they through lore together to justify a FF14 style relaunch after the servers literally caught fire

Image attachment

23:09

It's clear that she doesn't really care about playing the game and like, questing and leveling so much as she does like, losing herself in the fiction of the setting (edited)

23:09

aw jeez

Image attachment

dang

23:11

how can she be sad when she has such a neat hat

23:12

don't be sad neat hat girl

idk the last girl who wore that hat is in a coma

o-oh

the hat is cursed

23:17

whoops

Do not live inside of The World

Image attachment

23:21

it's kind of interesting actually

23:22

her point is essentially "you should be nice to people you meet online"

23:22

but normally when people say that, they say it like "there are real people behind the screen and you should treat them like you would any person"

23:23

but she takes the opposite perspective. Essentially, "this world is also real, in a sense"

23:24

haseo does not now how to handle this conversation

Image attachment

23:25

Image attachment

your eyes are melting off your face dude

23:28

hold that in too

23:28

oh no that's just the thumbnail

23:28

carry on anime guy

his face is extremely expressive in The Closeup Zone

the most expressive part of the ps2

Haseo wants her to join his PVP team and she talks about how the last time she did a competition in the game she came in last and everyone made fun of her, so she doesn't want to level up out of like, principle (edited)

Image attachment

23:34

Image attachment

23:35

she literally just wants to enjoy the vibes haseo and you want to make her fight in your deathmatch because you literally don't know any other healers

just trying to vibe here

haseo loses it

23:36

Image attachment

23:36

Image attachment

23:37

Haseo: "Leave."

23:37

and she runs off

Haseo really not appreciating the hard polygon work here

honestly the hardest thing to model there was absolutely his face, ironically enough

Shaiapouf

this is an SAO Abridged plotline

It does feel like it, huh

also if theoretical physics is right reality is basically just textures on polygons too bitch

23:40

I think it's cool how he's only wearing belts and tattoos tho

he used to have like

can never have enough belts

spiky armor and claws

23:40

but the bad guy stole it

Image attachment

@archaeo honestly though as much as he is like, a dick in this moment I kind of agree with his core point that the point of the game is to interact with other people and play and do stuff. And not just like, enjoy the vibes of the setting (edited)

I dunno I'm a big vibes enjoyer

sorry healer unavailable currently vibing

It's just like...

23:52

the way she is describing things, she doesn't really play the game to play the game with leveling or question, or to be around people (besides the guy who is just straight up grooming her) but just to like, exist in a space where she is somewhere else and feels like it's real

I mean, big mood

yeah exactly

23:53

it bothers me because it hits so close to home, you know

We Live In ~~A Society~~ The World

whomst among us

Haseo is an asshole with his own issues but I think his general relationship to The World as a video game itself is healthier.

23:54

it's just his relationship to The Fucked Up Stuff that has him being insane

00:00

Image attachment

00:00

Image attachment

00:00

lmao he just made up shit for us to say

Haseo:

he specifically says he never uses emoticons lmao

ugh this fucking guy

Image attachment

"proper online etiquette lol"

00:24

"lmao"

Image attachment

00:25

lmao Bo getting atoli to help haseo because his "sister" is trying to get haseo killed

that screenshot has big "don't you just wanna go ape shitt" energy

which is kind of hilariously fucked up

i mean idk about R2 because I never played GU since i got unreasonably pissy about the premise but like, at least R1 was a pretty cool place to live? shit so advanced that every sense was digitized even if most people couldn't experience it lot of people you can be a wizard supernatural shit weird places that are broken or unexplored by even the devs genocidal ai mommy you can be whoever you want

sorry that last one

00:25

pardon

it's a long story

honestly a lot of the problems with The World are just a result of the writers not understanding video games or programming or physics like, at all

I love how Haseo just does not buy Sakaki's Hero of Justice bullshit for a second

Image attachment

sigma grindset

gasp

Image attachment

00:28

Atoli: "you're like the only person I know outside of my cult so I'll just go along with what you want"

00:28

but also

00:29

LMAO

Image attachment

00:29

Even I....

00:29

want to be a gamer

even I...

lol

Image attachment

00:30

this is kind of sweet honestly, even if it's also kinda fucked up

full disclosure my first exposure was a 12ish year old me catching some of .hack//sign on toonami and going 'i would be totally okay with this situation'

also I feel like this plot point got lost in the shuffle

00:32

but I do want to make it clear

00:32

a 12 year old with dissassociative personality disorder just paid someone to cyber bully me.

00:32

and then thier alternate personality found atoli to save me.

00:32

This game is wild shit

you know, even without knowing shit about gu I could name a handful of characters who would fit that description

00:35

also this is a reminder that in the .hack universe barack obama was replaced by a guy named "Jim Stonecold"

Shaiapouf

this is kind of sweet honestly, even if it's also kinda fucked up

this describes a lot of what I have seen from communities on MMORPGs

00:37

so it checks out

Atoli basically having a panic attack before the first arena battle

Image attachment

00:56

Silabus: "W-Well...you could try...healing?" Atoli: "Got it! :)"

I like the round pink guy

atoliiiiii

Image attachment

00:57

I love the UI here

is atoli going to get totally bodied

Image attachment

like is she a doomed sparrow kind of deal

kinda

00:58

but she's probably fine for now

oh good

Image attachment

01:00

Image attachment

01:00

atoli is...laughing manically

01:00

Image attachment

yikes

01:02

where's an Aerith Gainsborough when you need her

01:03

just like, "oh wow you fell directly in my garden this morning and tonight we're gonna fight a house in the arena!"

01:03

"best day ever!"

01:03

man maybe I should just replay FF7R lol

I probably will when FF7R-2 happens

01:04

FF7-2r?

ugh but when does that happen

01:04

I think quinn was right when they predicted it'll do like

rip the Edge Punishers

FF7 Resomething

01:04

FF7 Revengence

Reunion

oh that's right

01:04

duh

01:04

also if you die in The World do you die in real life?

01:04

I feel silly even asking because like

01:04

duh right

not generally

oh

it's kinda funny how much emphasis is put on PKing honestly (edited)

01:05

like it literally is just sort of annoying to get killed in the game

01:05

but people treat it as traumatic

01:06

anyways this wasn't even PKing, it was just a like. PVP arena match

huh

I'm sending atoli a nice e-card

Image attachment

01:07

which apparently still exist in the near future of 2017

lol

"all my apes, gone"

Image attachment

lol

archaeo

I like the round pink guy

new lore just dropped: Round Pink Guy is apparently a Legendary Yu-gi-oh champion

01:11

you can even comment on it

Image attachment

lol

OH MY GOD

Image attachment

01:14

Though that is probably Shino, not Atoli

01:14

but still

01:14

yo what the fuck

Image attachment

01:14

it's....good?

01:15

it turns out that in setting this particular fan art is drawn by a professional artist

01:15

neat

Shaiapouf

yo what the fuck

Pretty

oh hey

Welcome to THE WORLD

20:30

basically the dumbest MMORPG

20:30

and I played Ultima Online!

https://tenor.com/view/za-warudo-jojo-bizarre-adventure-power-gif-14292027

welcome to THE WORLD

20:30

the game where nothing happens

every time you post a jojo I just sadly shake my head about how we cannot discuss Jojo Part 7 yet

20:30

one day..........

there's a chance I'll read it after part 6 anime ends

oh yeah speaking of which I should finish part 8 huh

I mean they will 100% animate Part 7

I stopped when mangadex went down

yeah cyouni it's all over

after a jojo part ends I usually get really ampped up and read a bit of the next park

20:31

except for part 6 because golden wind uh...did not end in a way that made me want to read more jojo

given Jojo's popularity with Western audiences and the subject matter

do you actually know the end of part 6

it's a sure thing

yeah, the big thing

20:32

It's a hard spoiler to avoid

I do unfortunately as well lol

it's basically impossible to avoid yeah

I found out because I wanted to make sure Joseph joestar never dies

20:32

Because I love him

Part 6 still has lots of very good surprises and the way they get to that result is stupendous

lol rip

And like, he doesn't! Ever! Technically

lol

20:33

anyway assuming that the ending doesn't piss people off live on TV

The world dies before Joseph Joestar does

Part 7 will absolutely get done because it's the coolest and best part

20:33

and includes the President of the United States of America

Go to next part
