[yiik][cw incest but stupider than it sounds]
You're Quinner
Claudio: So does this three sisters anime I won't shut up about exist in other universes
You're Quinner
Essentia: Yes. In one universe, they are brothers. In another, they are sea lions. And in another, they are all cats, who are dating.
You're Quinner
Claudio: Dating? But they're still sisters, right?
You're Quinner
Essentia: Yes.
You're Quinner
You're Quinner
Claudio is bad and must die
Where Is Harkan
he's just so THRILLED that they're related
Princess Emily
all characters in this game are bad
Where Is Harkan
That really does it for him
cranberry sauce
Agreeing with Emily, everyone is bad
Rabbit Crimes
This is not a game, this is just a cavalcade of trash, some of which claim to be characters
yousoro!
wtf game is this
bitchin camaro
it's called yiik, pronounced y2k
bitchin camaro
as in 2k metric tons of shit
Where Is Harkan
It's basically what you'd get when you have a boring white guy who who thinks he's interesting because he likes anime and knows big words gets it in his head that he's going to write the next Earthbound
oh i'm scary
2k tons of shit
oh i'm scary
that make you ask "y"
You're Quinner
I still refuse to pronounce it y2k
You're Quinner
it's yeek
Where Is Harkan
I've been saying yick
You're Quinner
yiikes
Princess Emily
yick
cranberry sauce
I also pronounce it as yeek
Where Is Harkan
just so long as we're all agreed
Where Is Harkan
it's definitely not pronounced "why-two-kay"
You're Quinner

(shaggy voice) yoinks!
HOT TURKEY TAKE
with emily and eric here, it's yick
You're Quinner
yiirks
HOT TURKEY TAKE
also I hate that there is a character named Essentia because I link that name to a speedrunner I watch and the association makes me wince
You're Quinner
full name The Essentia 2000
HOT TURKEY TAKE
oh so it's the literal yick in the game
You're Quinner
?
HOT TURKEY TAKE
The Essentia 2000, Y2k, etc etc
You're Quinner
I was mainly trying to figure out what "the literal yick" means
cranberry sauce
I'm trying to figure out what characters in this game weren't completely annoying
cranberry sauce
Claudio's sister iirc was
cranberry sauce
not terrible
cranberry sauce
unless i'm forgetting something
You're Quinner
she's fine but her outfit is terrible
Where Is Harkan
what's her outfit?
You're Quinner
Where Is Harkan
not as bad as I was afraid of tbh
You're Quinner
she's one of the game's less terrible characters
RobotApocalypse
she's also the only character that actually looks remotely 90s
RobotApocalypse
tbh the thing that annoyed me most about this game was how early 2000s everything was
RobotApocalypse
for a game that's supposed to take place in 1999 it sure doesn't know anything about what 1999 was like
RobotApocalypse
there's NPCs complaining about the economy and degree inflation for fuck's sake, shit that didn't happen until the mid-2000s
RobotApocalypse
it's so obvious the writer was born IN the 90s and doesn't actually remember anything about them
cranberry sauce
wasn't the economy actually good during the 90s
cranberry sauce
but like
cranberry sauce
I didn't mind her outfit because while it doesn't look all that great, it does look like she's actually from the 90s
bitchin camaro
yeah the 90's were a nice and hip time for the economy
RobotApocalypse
yeah exactly, the 90s were an economic boom
RobotApocalypse
which is why it's bizarre how many npcs are complaining about a bad economy
RobotApocalypse
when i saw the mc's design as like, the fuckin, quintessential modern hipster i had my suspicions that the creator was not actually all that familiar with 90s tropes, but it's those NPCs that clinched it for me
RobotApocalypse
dude has no idea what 1999 was like and should not have made a game where y2k was a central theme
RobotApocalypse
also his mom, a programmer in 1999 laughing off y2k as a totally ridiculous non-issue, is like "wow you super didn't do your research huh"
RobotApocalypse
the reason y2k was a total nonissue was because programmers worked their fucking asses off to make sure it wouldn't be
RobotApocalypse
like yeah the whole "world's going to end" thing was overblown public panic but a programmer would actually know what the real problem was, exactly how serious the implications of it were, and exactly why it was an issue they, specifically, needed to be taking seriously
RobotApocalypse
his mom got fucking laid off during Y2K, like, are you serious rn???
RobotApocalypse
anyway long story short: the creator of yiik is a total hack who doesn't know anything about the subject matter he chose to make the central point of his game
