lest you wonder, that sequence with the grunties was no more explicable to me actually playing it
23:27
I cut out some lines, but not much
23:28
anyways, it's been a LONG road to get here
23:28
but it's finally time
23:28

archaeo18-Apr-22 11:30 PM
I mean it’s Matsu then right
Shaiapouf18-Apr-22 11:30 PM
If you try and check the board to find out who you are fighting sakaki sends you this DM
archaeo18-Apr-22 11:31 PM
Oh my god
Shaiapouf18-Apr-22 11:31 PM
Haseo is so sick of this guy
CatHerder18-Apr-22 11:31 PM
fuck offfffffffff Sakaki
Shaiapouf18-Apr-22 11:31 PM
23:31
CatHerder18-Apr-22 11:31 PM
really, reading clicks? don't you have anything else to do with your life? where are your damn parents?
Shaiapouf18-Apr-22 11:32 PM
23:32
23:32
unsurprisingly, the usual tournament announcer is replaced with Sakaki
23:32
23:32
23:32
23:32
23:33
23:33
23:33
23:33
23:33
23:33
23:33
23:33
Haseo looks around as the crowd jeers
23:33
23:34
23:34
23:34
23:34
23:34
23:34
23:34
23:34
23:34
not matsu
CatHerder18-Apr-22 11:34 PM
oh thank fuck, I was concerned
Shaiapouf18-Apr-22 11:34 PM
Sakaki: Do you remember them?
23:35
23:35
23:35
23:35
23:35
23:35
it's gonna be a marathon battle
CatHerder18-Apr-22 11:35 PM
Ah, I hate this part
Shaiapouf18-Apr-22 11:35 PM
the crowd is chanting "kill, kill, kill"
23:35
23:35
23:36
CatHerder18-Apr-22 11:36 PM
Just gonna imagine Sakaki being drawn and quartered during this fight because oh boy I hate this guy
Shaiapouf18-Apr-22 11:37 PM
round one goes down easy enough
Mysterious Stranger "Cyouni"18-Apr-22 11:37 PM
god Sakaki is such a 10-year old
Shaiapouf18-Apr-22 11:38 PM
Sakaki laughs it up
23:38
23:38
god the line reading here
23:38
real scenery chewing shit
23:39
23:39
I'm really not
23:40
Sakaki finally realizes I'm not, in fact, losing
23:40
Mysterious Stranger "Cyouni"18-Apr-22 11:42 PM
"you're struggling"
23:42
"should I take a nap"
Shaiapouf18-Apr-22 11:43 PM
if you were curious, you can in fact data drain other players in PVP using avatar awakening, but they don't drop any virus cores
23:43
so it's actually just a total negative
23:43
23:43
oh hey you're back
23:43
23:43
23:44
23:44

Shaiapouf18-Apr-22 11:45 PM
23:45

Skeith18-Apr-22 11:45 PM
Team
23:45
Hetero!
Shaiapouf18-Apr-22 11:45 PM
23:46
Skeith18-Apr-22 11:46 PM
.Hack// had had a lot of influence on me without me realizing it and I need to know if some part of me was included by bad guys being named Team Hetero
Shaiapouf18-Apr-22 11:47 PM
23:47
THERE IS NO WAY SUCH PCS COULD EXIST
23:47
23:47
23:47
SAKAKI. THIS IS A NEW LOW
23:47
YOU DARE BRING THE HETEROS INTO THIS
Mysterious Stranger "Cyouni"18-Apr-22 11:47 PM
Team Hetero
Skeith18-Apr-22 11:47 PM
The straights are invading the lgbt server!
Mysterious Stranger "Cyouni"18-Apr-22 11:48 PM
god they look like such NPCs
Shaiapouf18-Apr-22 11:48 PM
23:48
23:48
23:48
23:48
23:48

Mysterious Stranger "Cyouni"18-Apr-22 11:48 PM
Sakaki would you -
23:48
...
Shaiapouf18-Apr-22 11:48 PM
23:48
23:48
you know
23:48
the word subtext
23:49
is sometimes underexpressive
Mysterious Stranger "Cyouni"18-Apr-22 11:49 PM
hey sakaki
23:49
you dropped your ham
Shaiapouf18-Apr-22 11:50 PM
Kuhn: I'm sorry, we can't do anything about the heteros now
23:50
23:50
23:50
23:51
poor guy
Mysterious Stranger "Cyouni"18-Apr-22 11:51 PM
The Three Heteros
Shaiapouf18-Apr-22 11:51 PM
23:51
......
23:52
in the end he became just like Alkaid
1
23:52
that is a bummer, honestly
23:52
23:52
Mysterious Stranger "Cyouni"18-Apr-22 11:53 PM
poor worf sirius
23:53
destroyed by the heteros
Shaiapouf18-Apr-22 11:53 PM
our next plot beat comes from Kaede
Mysterious Stranger "Cyouni"18-Apr-22 11:53 PM
wasn't she one of the ones that was missing
Shaiapouf18-Apr-22 11:53 PM
yeah
Skeith18-Apr-22 11:53 PM
I like her
Shaiapouf18-Apr-22 11:54 PM
when we go to the area Pi is already in town waiting for us
23:54
Shaiapouf19-Apr-22 12:04 AM
anyways one very brief level afterwards
00:04
00:04
00:04
00:04
00:04
00:04
00:04
00:04

00:05
00:06
00:06
00:06
00:06
00:06
well.
00:06
That was weird
00:08
offline, Zelkova sends us an email
00:08
00:08
haseo: who is this kid?
00:08
00:08
00:09
We'll stop there
Mysterious Stranger "Cyouni"19-Apr-22 12:13 AM
Zelkova: Actually the CEO of CC Corp
Shaiapouf19-Apr-22 12:20 AM
You think the CEO of CC Corp is competent?
Mysterious Stranger "Cyouni"19-Apr-22 12:21 AM
if it's Zelkova, he's playing a game and getting the players to solve it instead of doing something as the CEO
00:21
so uh, competence in question here
Shaiapouf19-Apr-22 12:23 AM
Also, I should mention here, Yata's player was a character in the first .hack series, and matches how Pi describes him
00:23
He was an informant and hacker, known as Wiseman
00:24
This guy
Mysterious Stranger "Cyouni"19-Apr-22 12:24 AM
Weissmann would be proud
Shaiapouf19-Apr-22 12:25 AM
In the real world, he was I believe 12 years at this point
00:25
Which means he is now around 20
Mysterious Stranger "Cyouni"19-Apr-22 12:25 AM
god looks old for 12 years old
Shaiapouf19-Apr-22 12:25 AM
He's an old soul
00:26
Funny enough if you actually get him to open up in .hack he admits his age and that his hobbies outside of the world are playing soccer and digimon cards
Zedd-Repulsa19-Apr-22 12:26 AM
lmao
Mysterious Stranger "Cyouni"19-Apr-22 12:26 AM
lmao
Shaiapouf19-Apr-22 12:26 AM
Not a joke, literally digimon cards
Mysterious Stranger "Cyouni"19-Apr-22 12:27 AM
brb editing yata's character to have a soccer ball on his head and digimon cards in his hand
CatHerder19-Apr-22 12:27 AM
I was trying to remember who he was in R:1, thank you
Mysterious Stranger "Cyouni"19-Apr-22 12:27 AM
instead of...fans?
Shaiapouf19-Apr-22 12:27 AM
"Yata" is actually a reference to his favorite soccer team
