Witch Chat - .hack//Gay Undertones

00:25

Well, there you go archaeo

BAD

you finally got the answer

00:25

oh I think it's extremely funny

I was right about Atoli

but it looks like it didn't stick

yeah they didn't drag it out

00:26

homestuck-ass name

and that's all for now

well this feels...

00:27

suspicious

00:27

also

00:27

where's Ovan

00:27

all this intrigue and nonsense

heh

i would like to give Atoli All Of The Hugs please

is zelkova basically just a padjal

lotta media attacking Me Personally for some reason lately; I also would like Atoli to get more hugs and fewer like, bootstrap speeches from dumb boys

useless and all that

FWIW I do honestly agree with Haseo about Atoli. What Atoli wants is to be a person, seen for herself, and with her own agency in events. That also means taking responsibility for the things she's done and doing more than simply being sad. Sakaki basically just nurtured co-dependance and told her it was alright because he would take care of everything

he even has a tree name

Oh I totally agree

00:29

I just don't like how he said it

His tone noticably softens at the end of it, as though he himself feels like he's being too harsh

or how spiky he was when he said it

Waiting to see Sakaki get Weissmanned by Ovan

Yeah. He's not very good at saying things but the things weren't wrong

oops I spoke too soon

He's just angry and letting off his own sadness at what he's just experienced

I never would've guessed that "twist"

oh no I misunderstood

oh it's so funny

00:30

It's a fucking ALT

00:30

I love it

Nala being his alt is fucking great

I mean it's fine

00:30

doesn't have good twistfeel

DBOXING? GASP

just a little too boring and convenient

00:31

I would prefer deploying the Sockpuppet Gambit for a more complex plot

well

00:31

whoever said this was Yata's only alt

also like, wow, great sockpuppets buddy, you're so good at being different kinds of mysterious old guys

Yata does in fact have a completely different Alt he plays in .hack//roots

00:31

this is just like

lol

a thing he does

sure

00:31

I mean maybe that helps too

00:31

but then why not take it way further

He's way way too online

I can't believe Zelkova was Yata's alt

and have him be weird NPCs all the time

I actually misremembered and thought Zelkova was Yata's alt for a while

00:32

I do almost wish that was true

I am in fact critiquing the minor writing decisions about character arcs in .hack//gu

"ah, but you thought it was the end when you found out Nala was me"

now

"but what if I told you... That was just the setup"

Shaiapouf

I actually misremembered and thought Zelkova was Yata's alt for a while

that would be way more interesting because it would be him, like, sidelining all of his kindness into alt #3

you want to get really fucked up about it

00:33

we meet both Nala and Yata during the AIDA server incident at the start of the game

I can't believe Sakaki was Yata's alt

I genuinely do not recall if they ever explain that

But do you see them moving at the same time

how does one control a character in The World?

00:34

is it like, neural jack shit

00:34

do you Jack In

I mean he could have used a pilot

00:34

Not like he needed it for long

archaeo

how does one control a character in The World?

they have always been purposefully vague about this.

https://tenor.com/view/ff-jack-final-fantasy-chaos-bullshit-gif-23354156

however, the world is played with a Oculus Rift and a game controller

I'm the careless whisper

we've seen that much

oh huh

00:35

I mean he works for the company who makes it

00:35

presumably you'd want a way to control several different character models at once as a dev

00:35

etc

but like

Shaiapouf

we meet both Nala and Yata during the AIDA server incident at the start of the game

have none of you people ever dboxed before

during the AIDA server stuff, it was very specifically said "Hey I just lift my hand and the character's hand lifts"
