>>16390310If you really, truly want to suffer when it comes to YIIK, then you also need to beat the game, then go find the SomethingAwful LP of it. Because for God-knows what reason, the Youtube playlist has stuff that was made before the game changed gears massively and became much worse. Like, pre-release shit, old demos, things that show that the original game had some promise, or at least a premise that was far, far better than the one that came out.
The true experience is learning how someone can go from a decent idea to absolutely fucking horrifically bad. It's watching a real person self-destruct through their artwork, and how a game that started as a passion project became an artist's vessel to express their own self-loathing, and then how he came to revel in his own self-loathing, putting that self-hatred on a pedestal while pretending that he had moved beyond it.
I've never felt more visceral, yet unintended hatred and pity for a person before that developer.
