To give them some leeway - it seems that wasn't for lack of trying to get more statements from other people involved, and they did try to provide statements by all involved parties were relevant with what they had available.
That was an interesting summary of the happenings since last time, and I appreciate them delving into the criticisms of their last documentary - which I think was overall also a good work of research overall, even if the mistakes they made (and acknowledged) were real.
I'm not giving up hope on Summer Eternal creating something that - even if the effect of DE can't be reached again ever - could build on it in interesting ways. They could channel the outsider effect along with convictions in the team in a way, that could provide at least some magic. But I am ready to be disappointed, of course.
It's about Clippit, which was a mascot that notoriously annoyed MS Office users in the 90s and 2000s. It did not yet collect your data the way everything does now.
BonziBuddy was a herald of the apocalypse.
Und die ~~Killer~~Drogenspiele!!!!!
Wann wirds mal wieder richtig Sommer
So ein Sommer wie er früher einmal war
Ohne Hitzerekorde und ohne Waldbrände
Und nicht so heiß und drückend wie die letzten Jahr'
It's somewhere between RPG and narrative/graphic adventure game. The highlights are the writing, and how the game includes reactivity to and options for player choice. Another huge strength is emulating a good DM for a TTRPG session - often failure for check rolls are rewarded in their own, sometimes very humorous way. They included hundreds of small things most players will never see, maybe one of the greatest games for multiple playthroughs ever.
Look, all I'm saying is, we've never seen you and squirrel@discuss.tchncs.de in the same room together.
But jokes aside, thank you for the detailed introduction, and thank you for doing mod work!
One interesting thing is that we don't really kow much about her. The few things we can be pretty certain of, are (Spoilers ahead):
-
We know her hedonistic escapes from a guilt complex are real, and that some forces in the MI truly want her dead - confirmed by our ESP if we do take her in. (Much to the shock of some players who had hoped to arrest her and keep her safe somehow, from the blind playthroughs I watched people play)
-
We know she really has some skillset that indicates some sort of spy work, but where does it really stem from? It could be from what she tells us, but it could also be something different, maybe something worse, maybe something more mundane.
-
We do know she has seemingly always had the problem of being fetishised by men around her, as we witness with at least Tidus and the Deserter (EDIT: And of course Harry), and that she both inadvertantly and consciously used that to her advantage (mostly: trying to survive) if possible, while also not having a choice about it.
But no matter what, I, personally don't think prison (which results in her death) is something she deserves. There is a part within me, that would love to somehow keep her "safe" while also putting her into a situation where she has to reveal what is really in her past - but that part of me, I realise, is exactly the fetishising effect she has on het men in action, even as a fictional character (combined with my often aggressive curiosity).
So, my vote is: Let her go. She might not be a great person overall, and has definitely some shit in her past, whatever it really is, but she deserves to live. If she really does deserve prison, then only, as she herself put it, in a new world, after La Retour, which would stop hunting her as prey, both literally and in the way people who are attracted to her force their fantasies on her.

I mean - kind of? I do agree a lot of "reaction" content is bottom-of-the barrel shit, but it's not like this one is just making funny faces and going "woaaah, nonono, they didn't!!" or something. He does use the video as a jumping off point for his own commentary, providing his own perspectives (those segments are also edited with cuts, showing this wasn't just turning their webcam on and rambling without any evaluation later). Just roughly looking through the preview thumbnails hovering over the video progress bar, easily more than 50% is talking about topics in the reacted video without even the reacted-to footage on screen.
