The real fun of playing emulators on the Steam Deck is being able to use my capture card and OBS to fuck around. :flan_x3: It's always fun to be chaotic with decorations.

@Iffine @supersid333 Haseo ends up playing quantum too.
Kites character model is actually limited because the dot hackers are very famous for saving the internet, even among the stuffed suits in the company that get in the heroes way. If i remember Sakuya won a contest to get a Kite lookalike.

@supersid333 Fair enough, but it's not Kite. Actually Sakuya from .hack//Quantum, which is a weird project I'll be honest. To my understanding it's a revision of The World from after R2 that features tons of mixed designs from both the original version and R2's (GU's) version. The girls are cute at least and it is one of the last proper projects to come from .hack before being sent to the forgotten zone, only to be brought up for GU's remasters and some gacha that each died quicker than they started.
The girl herself is the least hero-like of any .hack hero, she is moreso chaos incarnate. She stumbles into a scene, causes and solves half the problems in existence, then falls down a flight of stairs to exit the scene. :flan_laugh:
Still slightly less of a cursed project than "What if we time traveled exclusively through an MMO's updates to save fake copies of the historic heroes" (seriously Link is such a strange spinoff project).

@Iffine I don't like that Kite image lol

@Kyonko802 @supersid333 I need to watch Quantum again, it didn't stick in my head as much being only a 3 episode OVA.
Also that makes the second time they raffled the dot hacker's models :cirno_laugh2:. The company is very special at times. Then again, I guess it's hard not to start thinking about the world strangely when some lunatic programmer left you a black box of a game that you fear ever deleting or taking offline permanently because you have absolutely no clue what it can do.
-
@Iffine @supersid333 it would also leave a cute AI homeless if you took it offline. Or at least randomly transient in your server system :kekw:
-
@Kyonko802 @supersid333 You think some guys in the government had to pass an outright law forcing them to keep at least some version of The World running for as long as possible, even if it's not profitable? :flan_smug2: Especially when just before The World's whole critical event happened, only ~2 years earlier there was a virus that wiped out almost every internet connected device.
-
@Iffine @supersid333 That depends on how much the government knows about the actual situation, which to be fair is probably a lot. I still think Helga works for the JP government in some kind of capacity.
Lucky for CC corp the game is THE MMO in that world and it's hugely profitable.
-
@Iffine that's all fair and done, but what is the name of the chocolate girl on the left? 🍫
-
@FruitpilledPeachcel @Iffine BlackRose, Kite's gf
-
@Kyonko802 @FruitpilledPeachcel Actually this specific image is of Rena, the girl who won the BlackRose model in Legend of the Twilight. Seems like a very minor nuance, but the art for them does kinda vary. Rena is more often shown as younger than BlackRose, and not having the slight breasts that the usual female Heavy Blade has (somehow).

@Iffine @FruitpilledPeachcel loli blackrose
