Claudio: So does this three sisters anime I won't shut up about exist in other universes
Quinn Angstrom
Essentia: Yes. In one universe, they are brothers. In another, they are sea lions. And in another, they are all cats, who are dating.
Quinn Angstrom
Claudio: Dating? But they're still sisters, right?
Quinn Angstrom
Essentia: Yes.

Claudio is bad and must die
Villain
he's just so THRILLED that they're related
Princess Emily
all characters in this game are bad
Villain
That really does it for him
birthday snake
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
GAY TENNA?
it's called yiik, pronounced y2k
GAY TENNA?
as in 2k metric tons of shit
Villain
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"
Quinn Angstrom
I still refuse to pronounce it y2k
Quinn Angstrom
it's yeek
Villain
I've been saying yick
Quinn Angstrom
yiikes
Princess Emily
yick
birthday snake
I also pronounce it as yeek
Villain
just so long as we're all agreed
Villain
it's definitely not pronounced "why-two-kay"

penis bacon

Quinn Angstrom
yiirks

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
Quinn Angstrom
full name The Essentia 2000
penis bacon
oh so it's the literal yick in the game
Quinn Angstrom
?
penis bacon
The Essentia 2000, Y2k, etc etc
Quinn Angstrom
I was mainly trying to figure out what "the literal yick" means
birthday snake
I'm trying to figure out what characters in this game weren't completely annoying
birthday snake
Claudio's sister iirc was
birthday snake
not terrible
birthday snake
unless i'm forgetting something
Quinn Angstrom
she's fine but her outfit is terrible
Villain
what's her outfit?
Quinn Angstrom
Villain
not as bad as I was afraid of tbh
Quinn Angstrom
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
birthday snake
wasn't the economy actually good during the 90s
birthday snake
but like
birthday snake
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
GAY TENNA?
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
