thank you very much for making it, I really enjoyed the ridiculous questions and i can tell the team must've had a blast writing them lol

wdym this is the game of the year🤑🤑🤑 (also you are not wrong)

I've never played roblox but I'll take your word for it lol

sure, what is it? (keep in mind it's still up to me whether or not I play a game)

@anya_nightmares Punch☆Archive!, Yuri Game Jam 2024 entry

such is life.

it's pretty fun, I was actually wondering if you've played this yet lol would definitely recommend, although it's probably not too good for recording (with commentary at least) with the insane amount of dialogue each run...

@@anya_nightmares fun fact, I did have the game sitting for almost years/several months ago now. Checking: the last I time I downloaded this one specific random version, yep Dec. 2023... or actually I didn't know when I downloaded it, it was somewhere around that time the game was on new & popular once, before now again.

When they call you in as a witness in the inevitable lawsuit, it's still an inconvenience though...

@anya_nightmares idgaf cause I'm just a chill guy

oops this is the one time i've forgotten to put the game link in the description, thanks for reminding me hannaharmon.itch.io/train-of-thought i always worry about forgetting it but I guess I was just really tired when I put this up

I actually do go through every recording at least once to edit out a lot of unwanted noise, rerecord if necessary, and fix me fumbling my words (which happens quite often, especially if the video runtime is long) otherwise I more or less stick to minimal cuts to keep the game experience intact, so there actually is a fair amount of editing, but only on the audio side (I'm a really big manlybadasshero fan if it wasn't obvious by the video style...)

@@anya_nightmares DUDEEE, YOU TALK TO DAMNNNNN MUCH!!!!!

@@anya_nightmares I took more than a day to edit a 10 minute video about me playing a psycological horror game and it didn't turn out as good as yours (reason being that I'm not good at public speaking)

@@anya_nightmares don't listen to that guy he's a jerk, and I really enjoyed your video.

Also I think copying manly's style was a good choice for this video. If you're gonna copy, might as well copy from the best right?

bro, go touch grass

@@MichaelJessup-lw3kt That is a steryotype

@@Solitarius69 mommy?

I considered turning it off in the settings but I didn't want to say skibidi and it would've been awkward to time everything since choices are timed in hindsight I probably should've dubbed over it in post and just cut out any silence... depending on how much dialogue there is, I might do that the next time I hear AI TTS in a game (with how many indie games use them nowadays it won't take long)

@@anya_nightmares What's your advice on taking out background noise and microphone buzzing

@@anya_nightmares I'm sure people would pay to hear a mommy va voicing a text, just saying

@@anya_nightmares Read most of it, but get a real crappy TTS to say the skibidi part. 😄 Either way, I don't mind if Let's Players let the ai voice talk. It's just the ones overused in scam ads that activate my fight or flight response.

the AI voices in the ads recommending home remedies for satisfaction in bed (aimed towards MEN btw) are the ones that truly scare me D:

As a certified psyco, I'd say "LET IT DIE, LET IT DIE!" from the lorax

@@TheDyingShow are you trying to wash your victim's blood off your clothes??? if so, who did you kill today, and where did you dispose their body?

uhhh i've been aiming for twice a week uploads for probably these last 2 or 3 months now, I'd honestly go for 3 if I wasn't randomly busy enough that I actually do need the buffer lol merely a coincidence that we have two possibly corrupted games in a week though, originally was going to do a video on a different game for the second upload but 3 hours of pure dialogue is painful to edit so I played this instead and suffered in a different way ;-; ...I'll have to edit that video eventually. *resumes making fax machine noises*

@@anya_nightmares wellllll at least that those games are actually enjoyable to watch compared to falling asleep during the visual novel! (or "accidentally" lobotomize yourself and get stuck in the first puzzle for minutes) at least you don't suffer that much right? *fax machine slowly intensifies* ... right? *fax machine intensifies*

I'm honestly kind of amazed that there aren't more people playing this considering how good the environment design is.

not enough running commentary to truly capture the stanley parable vibes but I'd say it's probably better for the sake of people's sanity (and also differentiating the game from other games with sassy narrators who will happily watch the world burn because you decided not to follow their instructions)

that's some of the ultimate ways of saying: "Alright, your peaceful privileges have been fucking revoked"

brooo stop making me tear up Roxas and Xion doesn't deserve it 😢😭😭

rip understandable though, probably less interesting to watch compared to playing since the gameplay comes from figuring out wth to do and there's not much you can do besides wait as a viewer i hope you at least had a good nap

exactlyyy this video was actually boring to watch (watching as you got stuck in a second puzzle for 3 minutes) there isn't anything interesting to watch compared to Story Novels, it doesn't tell you more depth into the story other than the intro thanks! (instructions unclear : the room was too hot for me to sleep in the morning so i have to use 2 fans to make me cool myself enough to sleep)

this ghost is such a gal, "supporting" her beloved even while sleeping

@ What a good friend she is.

@@doomdahazrd9986 exactly!!!! i bet that she's preparing a cake to celebrate his anniversary! (we don't question what anniversary is it tho)

hmm, didn't know there was controversy around the publisher. the more you know, I guess.

@@anya_nightmares not really much a controversy, more like they just overwhelm/milk the playstore with a lot of mediocre jrpgs (which mostly they developed, I think, there might be some good ones, but again you gotta search their market. tho I guess they have notable games during the nes-ps1 era), which kind of caused enough of mixed reputation. I guess there might be some redemption arc now happening.

hammer: "I need to get out of here. Let me just take this hammer first." boxes: "I don't even want to begin to imagine what's inside those boxes." chainsaw: "This is awful." bucket: "I think I'm going to throw up." pretty standard stuff, nothing special because the entire point was just to cover my butt in case someone got in, so that they do not in fact get the last laugh, no... I predicted it all along!

ohhh.. at least it helps to avoid softlocking and at least make exploiting it somewhat rewardable! (unfortunately i ruined ittt) i don't like how there's a standard dialogue as a reward for breaking a game rather than a fourth-wall alike dialogues, but better than getting nothing in return

I was pretty tired so I couldn't think of anything Stanley Parable 4th wall-breaks because I had to write quite a lot of dialogue for item combinations and character combinations... these two may possibly live in my head rent-free but quantity-wise that fact was still not enough to save me I'll keep it in mind if I ever decide to put a weird mechanic like character-specific collision again lol ...which I think isn't going to come up again for another year or so because I got like 2 other games + update ongoing that I gotta finish so yeah damn you feature creeeeeeeeeeeep.

​welp, better to focus on adding main features and actually finishing a game than adding details that are meaningless and can go unnoticed, which makes a game development more tedious and longer to complete best to add those details later after finish polishing a game i guess i actually like the idea of making bugs an intentional feature in an RPGMaker game, noted that someone else already did it but they did it in 3Desque games rather than 2D! alright i'm spawning a creeper at your doorstep tonight goodluck trying to kill it without making it explode :> (oh no i accidentally @'d you in comments)

I go to itch.io, horror section, sort by newest, and then start checking anything that isn't meant for kids, doesn't have a comment section filled to the brim with youtubers, and doesn't look like it could destroy my computer, and now i have a long list of games that I still haven't played :(

on the bright side this is a better recording (for editing purposes) than it was previously where I was stuck looking around for event triggers for maybe 10 minutes twice in a row and then failed to even find the last event trigger for that ending sequence so at least it's objectively a better video :D
