Anyone watching it?
I don’t even have a TV
So useless, Julianne is old and busted.
i herd you talking shit bout mai waifu like i wouldn’t find out
is it going to be censored?
I don’t think so, the show was rather tame afaik
I’m going to marry Julianne!
Oh man, I remember watching this show back when I was like 10. I think I discovered porn thanks to it.
you will never discover rule 34 for the first time again
why keep trying?
Never seen this show before, is it any good or is just a meme?
It’s a meme show, there’s nothing outstanding.
What about the sequels? are those going to be broadcasted as well?
The sequels are shit.

Oh so now they’re just immediately talking about sex instead of being coy about it…not really an improvement, imo.
For the 10th consecutive year, the GC Olympics returns to the emblematic Super Silver Thunder Dome, this time with a representative from the elusive country of Kanyevania.
Prime Minister QUINCY, who is in charge of the committee, told The Augmented Eye that “it wasn’t easy getting in touch with KAN-JYE,” and that “we had to abide by some of his religious rules in order to see some of their best competitors come to the country.”
Kanyevania’s main religion, Kanyeism, prohibits the existence of nanomachines inside the body, and as such, competitors from said country had to perform specific treatments in order to repel the swarm. “It’s a temporary solution, but it will do the trick.”
Is it just me or is the whole Kanyevania running gag pretty fucking racist? Like, haha look at this weird foreign country where everyone is Weird and the Wacky Dictator has female bodyguards!
Cartoons are not for children.
They’re still largely colorful, but the themes they touch have become rather dark. In fact, every cartoon on air today has dark themes. It’s come to the point where innocent animated characters are no longer a thing. I suppose children are young adults from birth now?
But enter “Touch Fluffy Tail”. A new show that aims to challenge the current trend.
”No deep lore, no obscure adult references, no stupid ‘deep’ plots. Just fun with numbers and fluffy tails,” said a TFT producer who asked to remain anonymous to avoid internet backlash. “I don’t want death threats for making a cartoon for actual kids.”
I don’t really get the point here, honestly. Kids’ stuff doesn’t have to be dumb.
The Motor City district is notorious for the number of illegal street races it sees each week, and the dozens of injured drivers it leaves every year. This time, it has been reported that two people died during a race hosted at the GATE Highway, otherwise known as the “Death Lane”.
The Transit Police is currently investigating the deaths, as well as the underground world of illegal street racing.
”We have several suspects in regards to who is running this underworld, but nothing concrete as of yet,” Chief of the Transit Police Department, Jay Esposito, told The Augmented Eye. “The death of these two youngsters will be the last, however. That’s a promise.”
I’m way too used to Christmas, but the MEGA tradition here in Glitch City is MEGA comfy.
I know it’s an incredibly absurd name, and the holiday isn’t any less crazy due to its absurd origin, but I find it amazing how GC managed to REPLACE the original festivities.
Some places celebrate Christmas eating fried chicken, but here they outright changed the holiday!
Well, it’s not THAT different, considering they have the same dates, but still pretty cool.
Woop! I gotta go, time to sign some books
Honestly, she’s a fairly minor character but I kinda like Kira Miki? Probably because she isn’t like, a walking sex joke or just obnoxious.
“Hey, Jill! Gil is in the back sorting an ingredients shipment and I’ve got things to do, the dog’s in charge, okay? Bye!”
“…what?”
“Wait, the dog what?!”
I don’t think dogs are evil enough to be bosses or CEOs or anything. They just don’t have it in them.
Ideal job.
“No.”
“Pet me.”
“No.”
“I’m in charge and I want you to pet me.”
You’re taking the wrong approach, you gotta use reverse psychology, man.
“…”
“Time to mix drinks and change lives.”
“Hey J!”
“Won’t pet you.”
“You’ll pet me sooner or later. They all do.”
“Won’t!”
“Will!”
“He said will, not Gil.”
“Aaaaah.”
“…”
“Who the hell is Will?”
“Nobody!”
“Don’t be rude with poor Will!”
“There’s no Will!”
“Do you need me to psyche you up then?”
“SHUT UUUUP!”
“Who? Me or Will?”
I think this segment is supposed to be…funny? At the very least, they’re not doing offensive humor, I guess. It could always be worse.
“AAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!”
“You go back to whatever you were doing.”
“And you…standby!”
“Only if you pet me.”
“…”
“…the fuck just happened?”
Pointless filler is what happened.
“Well, aren’t we spirited today?”
“Welcome to Valha-…”
“Virgilio?”
With this game, 2064: Read Only Memories, and a bunch of other titles I’m not super familiar with, Jim Sterling has been in a LOT of indie games, either directly and or indirectly. I don’t really know why.
“You didn’t show up with a…bombastic soliloquy.”
“Well, putting up an act can be tiring, you know?”
“So it’s all an act, then?”
“Wasn’t it obvious?”
“I guess…”
“Would you mind getting me a Bleeding Jane?”
“Sure.”
“Yes, this is just the thing.”
“So…tired of putting on an act. Care to explain?”
“It’s a long story. And I’d honestly rather not talk about it right now.”
“Fair enough. What made you change your mind, though?”
“Well, for one thing, it’s safer for me now. The pompous buffoon act was mostly a way to avoid raising suspicion.”
Sadly, almost every other patron of this bar is also obnoxiously quirky, but they’re not putting on an act.
“Safer? There’s a word that’s been losing meaning lately.”
“Wait…THAT was your way of avoiding suspicion?”
“Yes.”
“…you do know how weird that sounds, right?”
“It sounds weird?”
“You try not to raise suspicion, but you act in a bombastic manner that screams you’re there.”
“And everyone dismisses the fool as a buffoon and moves on.”
Truly Virgilio is the Arlecchino of the Commedia dell’arte that is VA-11 HALL-A.
“…”
“…eh?”
I think it’s pretty straightforward.
“I mean, you might be right if I were talking about hiding myself.”
“But I’m avoiding certain…crowds of people.”
I think the kids call this ‘foreshadowing’.
“Yes, my behavior might call everyone’s attention.”
“But then everyone just decides I’m harmless and disregards me.”
“And depending on how erratic my actions are, I become harder to read.”
“Giving me yet another layer of enigma.”
“I…”
“Huh.”
“Well, congrats. No offense, but I fell right into your plan.”
“I just dismissed your actions as those of a fool and moved on.”
“You completely fooled me.”
“Thanks.”
“Say, can you give me something spicy?”
“Sure.”
“Aren’t you fascinated by spiciness?”
I mean, it is pretty funny that certain plants became spicy to deter us from eating them but instead we intentionally eat things that are spicy. But I wouldn’t call it fascinating.
“What’s spicy for humans might not be spicy for other animals.”
Like birds!
“Hell, what’s toxic for us might not be for other creatures.”
“Do you like spicy things, bartender?”
I dunno about Jill, but I think spicy food is the fucking best, tbh.
“I don’t mind them, I guess. But I’m not really a fan.”
“That neutral stance is actually weird to come across.”
Is it? I thought that was the common opinion.
“Everyone either loves spicy things or hates them with passion.”
“Do you like it?”
“Lots. Not only in regards to painfully spicy things, but also the way mild or slight spice adds to a meal.”
“I’ve always had this dream of opening a curry stand.”
“As things are, I might actually pursue that dream.”
“Let me know if you do. I haven’t had curry in ages now.”
You and me both, Jill.
“Hey, bartender…”
“Call me Jill.”
“I wanted to apologize.”
“Hm?”
“You put up with me all this time without lashing out. I should apologize for my behavior, and thank you at that.”
Now it’s time for the remaining 95% of the cast to do the same. A woman can dream…
“Don’t worry. I actually feel like I was too rude to you last time you came.”
“Granted, you came a really bad time, but…”
“I should be the one apologizing. You’re a client after all.”
I haven’t worked in customer service, but from what I’ve seen, it’s usually the customers that are at fault.
“Well, don’t. I’m actually surprised that nobody else had violently lashed out at me yet.”
“You’re making me curious as to who you really are though.”
“Is Virgilio even your real name?”
“It might be, it might not.”
“…sometimes I wonder if I’m a magnet for people who hide their identities and sordid paths.”
Or just relentlessly horny caricatures of people. Or both?
“Gil, Jamie, you…”
“Um…did you say something?”
“Just rambling. Pay me no mind.”
“Now that I think about it, how did you find this bar?”
“I was…avoiding some chaps and came to this alley.”
“Huh…again.”
“‘Again’?”
“In my time here, I’ve heard ‘avoided people and ended up here’ enough times to make me believe…”
That this bar is completely haunted?
“That the original owner built the bar here thinking about the runaway public.”
“You make me sound like a criminal.”
“You’re not helping.”
“The expression ‘runaway’ doesn’t just mean people escaping the law though.”
“We’ve had people avoiding stalkers or solicitors.”
And those moments were portrayed in the worst possible tone imaginable.
“I’ve seen people more shocked by an insistent salesman than a shady figure.”
“Maybe because the salesman is a more active predator? I don’t know.”
“A troublesome part of the city right near the shopping district.”
“Let them know there’s a bar and they’ll come.”
“…sorry. I should stop rambling to myself so much.”
“I don’t mind it.”
“…do you think I’m sort of criminal, though?”
Well I do know a certain group of people whose behavior is definitely criminal.
“Like I said, you’re not helping.”
“But for all I know…you might be the buffoon I’ve seen the other days.”
“In any case, can I get something bitter here?”
“On it.”
“This works.”
“Do you like coffee, Miss Bartender?”
“As weird as it may sound from a smoking bartender…no, I don’t.”
Personally I like a lot of things with coffee IN them but I find coffee itself to be bad. Is that normal?
“Well, I get it. It’s not for everyone.”
“That Cat Boomer the other day…”
“What about her? Still scared of her?”
“Not really, but she looks so familiar…”
Play until the end to find out!
“Maybe you’re mixing her up with another Cat Boomer?”
“No, that’s not it…”
“It’s like the bandaged girl last time.”
“Even with the bandages, there’s just something really familiar about her.”
Just gonna keep on teasing, huh. Maybe having played the game before makes all the foreshadowing seem as subtle as a brick.
“Maybe you need to stop thinking about it.”
“Answers usually come to you when you stop stressing out.”
“You might be right.”
“Please come again.”
“Welcome to Valhalla.”
“Oh, hello, Mister Detective.”
That’s my mood whenever I boot up this game to take more screenshots.
(“And here we are, another mute person wandering into the bar.”)
“Anything I can get you?”
“Gut Punch.”
“Okay.”
“Oh, you got it right.”
“So, what’s up now?”
“A bit of holiday blues, you could say.”
“So you celebrate Mega Christmas?”
“Why wouldn’t I?”
“You looked more like a Festivus kind of guy.”
I too love jokes that only work if you’ve seen or are familiar with Seinfeld.
“Why does everyone keep saying that?!”
“Well, Festivus IS a celebration going against the capitalist madness that is Mega Christmas.”
Oh, cute, the game thinks it has something to say about capitalism (it doesn’t).
(“And you know…cheapskate.”)
“If you have something to say, say it.”
“I’ll refrain.”
“Although now that I think about it, ‘holiday blues’ is not really tied to a specific celebration.”
“Just the season.”
’Tis the season to fall into a dark pit of depression!
“A season of consumerist craze.”
“Mega Christmas is just a mockery of what the real Christmas once was.”
“I mean, the season has slowly become enslaved to the corporations over time.”
“‘Holiday spirit’ can only be manipulated so much.”
“But then came that Turbo Male guy. He started a yearly tradition of dressing up like Santa in the ring.”
If the devs think that’s crazy, then they’ve clearly never heard of Hoodslam..
“Turbo Male? That can’t be his ring name.”
“It is.”
“Really? Such a tacky name was accepted?”
“His partner was Buster Master and his rival was Dr. Chris Max. Tacky names were not a problem.”
“I mean, I knew there was a wrestler that dressed as Santa every year.”
“I also knew that the guy became insanely popular and the stunt got out of control.”
“And, of course, that’s the part everyone sings about.”
In like, Christmas carols? I’d pay to see that.
“Santa became Nega Santa thanks to the Redmond Family.”
“Nega Santa sees the error of his ways and becomes the mighty Mega Santa, renaming the holiday Mega Christmas.”
“And then every company jumped on the bandwagon and Christmas was Mega Christmas before anyone noticed.”
“So you’re telling me that the guy who somehow managed to rename the holiday…”
“Went by the ring name ‘Turbo Male’?”
“Yup.”
“…”
“That makes the whole holiday sound like a joke.”
“The holiday IS a joke.”
“And you’re telling me you don’t celebrate Festivus?”
“sigh No, I don’t.”
“Do you know what kind of people celebrate Festivus?”
…people that are way way into Seinfeld?
“The kind that’s so lame and bland that they can only talk about how they’re better because they celebrate Festivus.”
That just sounds like the type of person on FB that reminds you that every major holiday used to be a pagan tradition and think they’re super edgy and cool for pointing that out.
“Like those jerks who only eat Nuke and think they’re better than everyone else.”
“I see…”
“Anything else I can get you?”
“Get me a Fringe Weaver, will you?”
“Sure.”
“Right, thanks.”
“So, any issues with the city lately? What’s the word on the street?”
“Shouldn’t I be asking that?”
“There’s nothing new, really.”
“The lynchings of White Knights stopped, so there’s that.”
I’m still not sure what the game actually wants us to think about that plot point. Like, the White Knights are clearly villains, but you don’t use a term as loaded as ‘lynching’ to describe the actions of good people. Gah, I’m thinking too much into this, aren’t I.
“Really?”
“Something about the armor. I haven’t gotten much on that one yet.”
“All in all, the madness following the attack on the bank seems to have settled down a bit.”
“That’s good to hear.”
“Have any other details about the attack emerged yet?”
“All records of whatever happened there have been long deleted.”
“Security cams, system logs…everything was wiped.”
This just sounds like a conversation from an unreleased Shadowrun game.
“Whatever happened there, it’s become even more of a mystery now.”
(“I wonder if Sei plans on testifying.”)
(“…does anyone know if Sei went there in the first place?”)
(“Maybe the wiping of everything actually protects her somehow.”)
“Hey, bartender. You okay?”
“Sorry, got distracted.”
“There’s not much to say, really.”
“There’s the odd silly rumor here and there.”
“Like the vending machines’ tasers malfunctioning and applying more strength.”
“Or that the writer of The Last Rain In The World is actually living here as a brain in a jar.”
”Or that we’re all in a game made by a bunch of perverted channer goons.”
“But those are the kind of rumors you hear from crackheads.”
I get that this character is supposed to be kinda annoying or whatever but was that term really needed here?
“Crackheads might hold that one last piece of info you need, but you also hear crap like that.”
“I see.”
“Please come again.”
“Okay then…um…”
“Bo-…no, wait. She’s out.”
“GIL! YOU THERE?”
“Yeah. Taking your break?”
“Let me know if someone comes in.”
Major apologies for this update being so late, but I got caught up in exams and had a pretty major creative slump as well. The LP will be back on track and I’ll set myself an actual schedule to keep up with.
Also @Chowder that conversation sounds like the stuff of nightmares and I am so, so sorry you had to deal with that.
