Well...TO BE FAIR OVAN IS A PRETTY GOOD SCAPEGOAT

22:35

not that CC corp doesn't have more than its share of blame but

Isn’t he just the like

22:35

Goat

22:35

There’s no scape

22:35

Just like, the goat

lmao

greatest of all scapes

I mean the situation wasn't entirely his fault, he just took extremely drastic steps to resolve it

Like hiring two bad project managers in a row isn’t exactly criminal negligence

But yeah lmao

The fact that one was 10 notwithstanding

no i think that might make it criminal rko

it's technically not wrong that the network trouble caused by ovan is caused by ovan

there are these things called child labor laws -

haseo if anything seems vaugely amusing that at least this is all as vexing for CC corp as it is for him

CC Corp still tried to do something and probably have a solid defense in re: Sakaki’s lies

I would still keep my CCC stock

"welp, I guess yata and pi don't get to sleep for the next week"

Oh right

Haseo: hah it's not just my problem now!

CC Corp CEO: "LOOK HE WAS AN EXTREMELY CHARASMATIC TEN YEAR OLD OKAY?"

lol

"He groomed me"

I mean I assume he didn’t SAY he was 10 in the resume

keeping CCC stock probably not a bad idea as developers of the Extremely Online MMO

22:37

and in a world where there are no other Extremely Online MMOs

I'm sorry now I'm just laughing at like a 50 year old japanese CEO claiming he was groomed by a 10 year old

Hell CCC even probably did the interview in The World!

22:38

The CEO all coming out to do a twenty-minute bow to apologize

anyways

22:38

this is fine

Just an ancient Japanese man bent over on a black stage as the cameras go

22:38

Do you think this is what Microsoft emails are like

CC Corp CEO: “He got me. That f***ing Sakaki groomed me." CC Corp CEO: "He’s so good" repeated 4 times (edited)

Gates’ prophesy has become reality

after reading all the emails, Haseo talks for a bit about how the Rebirth has caused The World to be unstable and have a lot of crashes, but at the same time AIDA appears to have vanished entirely. He's unsure how to feel about it.

22:40

the background is very choice

shouldn't have switched it off ovan for that though

welcome to MORRIGU BARROW WALL

22:42

remember this place? It's been a while, huh

22:42

lol

those two screenshots got reversed for some resons

22:43

after haseo asks what the email was about Yata is just silent for like, 10 seconds

22:43

lol

22:43

pretty sparking lights

no i don't know what you're talking abo--YES I FUCKING SAW IT

lmao

Push Yata off

"I'm blind Yata"

LMAO

22:45

ah yes, the anti-spiral

22:45

22:46

lol. lmao.

that was not as impressive as you meant it to sound

@LettuceKitteh so you played the first games right?

22:46

For everyone else

22:47

there is a topic I have been avoiding getting into

22:47

regarding the og .hack games

22:47

and that topic is Cubia

(I didn't play them, I read the novelization from BlackRose's POV and also that was in middle school and I don't remember shit)

I can't believe you've been hiding stuff from us shaia

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dothack/images/8/82/Cubia.png/revision/latest?cb=20060226203133

I mean “Cubia” is just like, a brand name for some kind of workflow organizer for administrative tasks

Cubia from the first game

Oh

22:48

Oh I was wrong

22:48

I don’t think that’s an enterprise software logo

I mean who knows

why not rko

Cubia is really interesting in the context of the first games

22:49

which I have largely characterized as a conflict between the .hackers--fairly normal people trying to figure out why this video game is haunter, CC corp, those fuckers, and Morganna and her Phases

22:49

and that much is true

22:49

but there was also another party involved. Cubia.

22:50

Cubia shows up in the sky randomly when Skeith is killed and slowly gets bigger and stronger as the game progresses

yeah we're really trying to evolve this video game into gengar

22:51

this weird fucked up skeleton tree thing

Exdeath*

Anyways, the main character in .hack, Kite, has a bracelet, given to him by Aura, that is basically his version of the Morgana Factor. It allows him to hack the game directly with Data Drain, which Haseo and the rest need to use thier avatars to do. Cubia, as it turns out, is in fact a "shadow" or "anti-existance" of the bracelet. Basically, imagine there is extremely complicated code, and it causes a memory leak. That leak manifests itself as Cubia

22:54

Ultimately what Kite is forced to do to destroy Cubia is destroy his own bracelet, which leaves him temporarily defenseless against Moganna, which triggers the ending of that game

22:54

so, with all that in mind

Cubia: I'm back

consider what Ovan just did

22:54

and how much data was filtered through his own Morganna factor

22:54

and imagine how incredibly massive this new Cubia now is

Ovan: your problem now suckers

more importantly, that's why they are throwing out the name cubia like that lmao

Reasonable!

yes Haseo I just explained this, scroll up.
