So My Takeaway Is That The People Who DID Notice That Something Was Off Are Pretty Evenly Split On The

TTYD is a wild ride

The recent remake got me to reminisce about this game. There's just something so wonderfully out of place this game is in regards to the Mario franchise as a whole. In summary: Prologue: Welcome to this absolute hellhole of a city! Experience assault, gang violence, and robbery within mere minutes! Interludes: "...TTYD Peac, who gets naked 10,000 times per scene, is a statistical outlier adn should not have been counted." Chapter 1: Local dragon amasses absurdly high kill count via appeals to greed and foot fetishism Chapter 2: "Were... were they intending for this to be a metaphor for...?" (See: WoolieVS playthrough) (insights that make you go "oh no" 😬) Chapter 3: Mario is on the wrong side of the class divide, and needs mafia connections to proceed. Also, surprise! There's murders happening! Chapter 4: Mario's adventure suddenly becomes an allegory for gender dysphoria! ...You don't remember that? That's because the Gamecube-era localizers were COWARDS! (Remake-era, not so much 👍) Chapter 5: Don't worry about the fact that you released a murderous pillaging ghost-pirate out into the world for your own benefit. It's fine. Probably. Ch. 5 Bonus: ...What do you mean you also gave an endangered species brain damage???? Chapter 6: A nice, low-impact story arc to unwind and- OH GOD THEY'RE EVERYWHERE AAAAAGGGH Chapter 7: Mario reactivates an old Cold War-era Soviet weapons system. By now this sort of thing feels par for the course. Chapter 8: funny bing bing wahoo man fights the harbinger of the End Times

Blursed anomaly of a Mario game that shaped my youth, 10/10

Implying that the 1.0 ending somehow *won't* be the arirals giving him the catboyification serum

turned him into a cat guys. sorry

me living the adhd life:

this this this this this this

Twitch viewers and just fucking spoiling everything in Voice of the Void to the streamer name a more iconic fucking duo

“Yeah heres the reason why all of this is happening and why you shouldnt be scared”

Just please shut the fuck up and let the streamer cook

Dr. Kel's Fears

So I got that Voices of the Void brainrot going on and had a thought about the nightmare sequences. They seem to indicate Dr. Kel fearing things like drowning, enclosed spaces, mannequins, starvation, and so on. But... isn't there a prevalent source of fear in the game that's conspicuously absent from the list of nightmares?

Aliens. Space. The Void and the Voices we hear from it. Dr. Kel never has any nightmares directly relating to these things. Which, to me, implies a lot of things about Kel's 'canon' personality. Like I get the impression that Canon Kel would totally be down to hang out with the Arirals, possibly being largely unaffected by the "fake alien abduction/invasion" pranks.

In other words, Dr. Kel feels like one of those chat members saying the game feels 'cozy' while the streamer is in the verge of a heart attack.

But y'know. That's just my interpretation/speculation.

existential dread jumpscare

so i was testing random things in sandbox mode and uh. yeah. arirals don't fuck around when it comes to Threats™.

This was pretty much the exact impression I got just naturally playing the game. After an extremely rough day, I just shambled my way over to the ariral camp and flopped onto one of their cushions for the night. An absurd amount of sleep-yogurt ensued.

And man. I sure was feeling that 'wet cat' energy that night. Some unwashed, exhausted, injured, starving dork keels over at your place. His base? Powerless and left unlocked for a worryingly long time. His ATV? Missing. His robot cat? Exploded somewhere. His inventory? Just some shrimp, because he was 'just going to be out for a minute to deliver them real quick'

Honestly wouldn't have been surprised if an ending played out like "And then the arirals adoped Dr. Kel as an exotic pet because just watching him trying to live on his own was getting way too sad."

Hi, i have no clue how this site works but that one other site said to ask you stuff and i wanted to ask what does it mean in the ariral lore document that dr. kel is a wet cat of a person, thank

dr kel is a pathetic little man. he's a twink. a sopping wet cat. the arirals probably feel bad for the hungry little guy. if i was an ariral and i saw that fucking thing sleeping on my bed, i would be treating that boy like a cat.

aaaaaaa i have more things to say about Voices of the Void, but the executive dysfunction is killing me. ...Also I've been trying to avoid using Windows for as long as I can. Does anyone have advice on how to get it to run on Linux? Because I have no idea what I'm doing with that sort of thing.

I need to be kidnapped by kind aliens who take me to the alien vet and they know exactly what's wrong with me and they cure me and feed me nutritious meals
