  • Skies of Arcadia continues, as we try to navigate through the mysterious Dark Rift, where nothing makes sense, and strange enemies are lurking in the shadows...
    Skies of Arcadia is tragically completely unavailable to purchase on any currently existing store, and was also never released on PC. If you want to play it yourself, your options are the GameCube and Dreamcast versions, which were the only releases. Sorry.

    I work 2 days a week as a dishwasher at a hotel. Every week I anxiously await John's release of Skies of Arcadia. During my down time at work, I watch these episodes. Only my boyfriend fills me with comparable joy. ❤

    Yafutoma spent its centuries of isolation planning to make the most badass first impression they could on whoever came through the Dark Rift

    Love that the first thing you do after finding the long shipwrecked man was to steal his remaining food and read his diary in front of him, before even talking to him!

    Anyone else get the 2005-10 Doctor Who theme in their heads when the ship's going through the tunnels?

    I like to think that the inherent nonsense of The Dark Rift made all the pirate ships massive. That or the cocking moon did it!

    This game really has it’s own Dark Bramble huh

    • @gnaskar
      @gnaskar 10 дней назад +2

      Just without the very distinct vibes of the Dark Bramble. There's not quite as much butt-clenching terror in skies of arcadia.

    My friend was in Esperanza, going through the Dark Rift to Yafutoma when i learned about this game. Middle school me had to play this game. Almoat 25 years later, this game is still one of my favorites.

    @AstralHammer 10 дней назад +10

    A shame the Dark Rift is such an overall small area, I always found it so fascinating. The pulsating plant like growths inside bring to mind certain species of slime mold.

  • @garg0yl3
    @garg0yl3 10 дней назад +11

    Don't know if that was the developers intent, but to me the vagueness of rhe Dark Rift and the tbrown detail of a lost black moon souns like concepts for a possible sequel that never happened

  • @pjd418
    @pjd418 10 дней назад +4

    when i was young i always thought the black moon stoon stone being there implicated that the black moon at some point crashed and the black rift was the remnants of that event

  • @Lucifer_Crowe

    I love the idea that the Yafutomans can literally win any ship battle if they want but because of gameplay reasons you have to be able to win too.

    Jon it is quite easy how the torpedos work. Moonstone magic. It is how everything works.

    Its rather fortunate the people from Yafutoma speak the same language as Vyse and crew, despite no contact because of the dark rift.

    @Dead-EyeJuncan 10 дней назад +3

    The largest danger in the dark rift is your eyes separating, due to trying to look at multiple textures scrolling & spinning in different directions at the same time!

    I know it's probably just using the same real ships as reference but the Yafutoma ships have massive Kuja energy showing just how much this and One Piece share.

    Ah yes the classic powerful twin trope. It always makes me think of those twins from the first season of Yu-Gi-Oh. I wonder if that's actually based on any folklore.
    Seeing their ship though I was hoping for a unique fight with a ship that could maybe split apart so at one point it would look like it was going to ram head on until catching you in a pincer trap. Oh well, fighting those two guys is cool too.

      The basis seems to be the logic puzzle "Knights and Knaves". An island where knights always tell the truth and knaves always lie

    18:08 The torpedo knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the torpedo from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn't.
    In the event that the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has acquired a variation, the variation being the difference between where the torpedo is, and where it wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too may be corrected by the GEA. However, the torpedo must also know where it was.
    The torpedo guidance computer scenario works as follows. Because a variation has modified some of the information the torpedo has obtained, it is not sure just where it is. However, it is sure where it isn't, within reason, and it knows where it was. It now subtracts where it should be from where it wasn't, or vice-versa, and by differentiating this from the algebraic sum of where it shouldn't be, and where it was, it is able to obtain the deviation and its variation, which is called error.

    Jon (or editor), you are peaking your mic a lot. You can do a lot of stuff to mitigate that, but the easiest is just to back off a few inches. You are too close to your mic.

    Day 128 of requesting Age of Mythology - a full playthrough if possible. Things are looking up, between a horrific tunnel realm to visit with Jon and actually feeling well enough for Dairy Night in town tonight. Personally, I'm more willing to go to the latter then visit the former in person. The latter has pie
