I was perusing the allegedly "social" webbernets this week, as one does but probably shouldn't because what actually is a thing that they've ever done GOOD for anyone?
... ... ...I think this is just a cautionary tale given flight.
Usually I just *think* about doing a meme sketch. Then I get lazy. Then I just don't end up doing it. Sorrynotsorry. ;3
The weird thing here is that I went on quite a rampage of sketching, and I did it all on a SINGLE canvas with (for me) a minimal number of layers... and... things just kinda went out of control?
I also resurrected an alpha variant concept for the final images and ended up doing them as a sort of alternate ending kind of thing and tacked them onto the ending.
(yes, that song is currently stuck in my head on loop, so now you have to deal with it also)
And you say I never provide any lore videos. Tut-tut. I never said it'd be GOOD lore, just an explanation for the things going on inside my head(s).
Also a lot of Jake Kaufman music. Some of which is here. I don't think that's likely to create any issues, but I'm just being honest to the genesis of these scribbles.
---
I'm also quite bad at all the social medias. Look how far down the links are! Bad streamer! Bad uploader! Bad Internet persona! How dare you?!

As often I doth protest too much, I feel like... at least in THIS case, the version polluted with uncanny puppetrcraft is the... ... ... less unbearable alternative. If I may grudgingly be forced to admit so myself (under extreme duress), at any rate.
If youre like me and want none of that and crave unadulterated game-only content, by all means may you suffer with dignity:

This ones just a little bonus addition.
Being as this is the bleeding edge of... six-year-old games-as-a-service slightly-less-than-massively-multiplayer-always-online design paradigms... crossed with just a pinch of western game dev decisions and/or problems which will now be YOUR problems, dear player... PLUS a heaping spoonful of the PC master race meme dolloped on top... ... ... well, things were going to get complicated no matter what, its just a matter of how much it just works we were going to reasonably expect.
Just kidding, this is a Rareware game. A *Microsoft* era Rareware game. Seeing all the exposed wires and confusing little bits and bobs poking out from under the hood is a FEATURE and it shows just how COOL a piece of genuine software engineering youre interfacing with. Thats all! (Plus obligatory Britishisms and odd spelling choices. They actually FIT the setting for a change, though!)
Mark my words. This is neither the first nor the last time Ill be tweaking these things. In just the time since this was captured and I put off describing any of what went on in it... Ive had to fix at least three major technical, visual, and control concerns... and several more of those are lurking in store that I just... didnt want to deal with. And well see what THAT costs me in terms of professionalism and presentation!
...not counting the issues that Im definitely just making harder on myself for no other apparent reason than... because I can.
Its always FUN to learn where the out-of-the-box settings and input norms of TWO distinctly different eras and ecosystems are just jammed together in one place and see which one gives way first!
Since Im probably going to refrain from complaining in any level of detail or capacity later on, lets just catch a few of them, not all of which are in any way the games fault!
Did you know this game is one of the few Ive run across thus far (baby steps!) that DEFAULTS to an unbound framerate? Dont you usually need to opt into that, with the stern warning that youll possibly generate some extra instabilities as a result? (Fun fact: the warning is still here, but the opting in has already been done FOR you!)
The keyboard and mouse setup is super sprawlingly comfy with a bunch of eras-old conventions of where certain types of actions are located, and no pesky need to inform players, just assuming they know how those things work. Its a game with guns and melee attacks in it! Theyll be fine! Multiple interact keys? Theyll figure them out! Context clues!
Shockingly, the controller layout is super cozy and almost... entirely comfortable? The game even has radial menus! Yknow, the things analog sticks make sense for, but keys and scraping-and-clicking input devices might struggle a bit with?
Heck, I only learned you CAN aim and sprint because of the conventions they absorb for these functions in this mode... but of COURSE it happens that I learned the ropes by the OTHER input method. (I was too lazy to plug in a controller meant to be used more monogamously with its own intended subcomputing television attachment device.)
Inverted aim! Makes sense one way for a mouse. A different way for a joystick! ... ... ...unless decades of conventional unwisdom have trained you to think the opposite! ...from decades of conventional wisdom PRIOR instead training people to believe otherwise! Huzzah!
And what if I want to put on a saucy poppet wench show oer starboard side? That surely wont complicate matters one bit! (The high seas SURELY cant be any more graphically rigorous than free-roaming the fightin streets of Metro City, riiiight?)
And I (wisely?) havent even chosen to dig into what might be in store if I decide to retrofit traditional two-thumbed controls with gyro aiming! I swear! Its not weird! (No, YOURE weird!)
The game defaults to a 720p viewport for windowed mode, but full native resolution if you put it on the big screen. You can also only change the latter in menu form... you freely drag the former! Dynamism!
And Im PRETTY sure the recommended settings of BOTH Mythical for one set of options and CURSED for an entirely other indicates to me that... ... ... this ancient unlost software has no idea what Moores Law has been up to in the meantime, and can only vaguely guess at certain bits and throw up its arms in disgusted resignation at the others.")

Something that I can unwind with but not end up staying up all night to. IN THEORY.

If you thought there wasnt enough complaining about how bad she is while playing, you can always go here instead to watch my nerves fray in real time and goofy puppet show:

If you NEED needless chatter blocking the sidebar system notifications (working on it... the UI is kinda cramped, after all), theres that version as well:

We now return from our unscheduled deliciousness interruption. Im sure this wont be a plague upon anyones activity feed given however YouTube handles those these days now...
This is a little experimental format change JUST for the fact that the game crawls to a complete stop outside of the JRPG antics the series is known for... THAT way I can spend my REAL time throwing saucy tea party puppet shows during appropriate moments and story content!
...in theory, anyway!
Fancy way of saying that Im just un-skipping the sidequests that I was otherwise rushing past when we were on and the hour was fast becoming late and I wanted to end stream on a high and bombastic ILL KILL YOU! note. (Thanks, Shoolk!)
But make sure you seize it some OTHER day, just to be sane and well-paced?
