Hylics: A game so weird its actually rad

I initially discovered this game through a video talking about weird indie rpgmaker games, and boy am i happy that i looked into the game after i found it. before we start, i have some links to share if you don't want to read a long text post.

ok, now with that out of the way, lets talk about Hylics. First things first, the art style. hylics is, first and foremost, a mixed media art piece. it largely is comprised of digitized clay models, 2d art, and 3d models.

its music, as far as i am aware, is handmade, and BOY is it good. as I write this, i am actually listening to it (specifically the 0-0 area). it is made of, as far as i am aware, chill jazz beats, wild guitar, some guy making awful horrible noises, and ambiance.

I feel that, if you are still paying attention, you should totally buy it right now. it's supporting an indie dev, and its only 1.67 (as of right now)

right, now, for a list of subversions.

combat is from a first person perspective

most npcs speak randomized gibberish

the "Intro" is also gibberish

everything is hard, nothing is given to you

I know this is mostly a load of pseudo-intellectual "ooH thIs GaMe SubVerTs All ThE TroPeS NoOne'S DonE ThIs " But please hear me out.

This game is rad, please check it out.

If you want more good games, check out my cool list:

Have a fine day, thank you for your time, don't die.

this is so stupid but i always have fun imagining the milgram characters watching their own/others mvs and seeing their reactions, especially for MeMe

That’s not stupid at all, thank you so much for the ask!! It’s sooo interesting to think about! I planned on just posting this drabble, but the more I thought about it, the more I started jotting down headcanons for everyone 👀 Of course there’s the initial disbelief and shock that Milgram can really do what it claims, but once they accept that, they’d have a lot of interesting reactions…

Es gets to watch the video first, then the prisoners are free to watch their own in the privacy of the courtroom/extraction room/wherever. Other prisoners can watch them only with explicit permission from the video’s singer. No one is allowed to watch Undercover except for Es. At first they spend hours looking at those final frames of themself flinching from the camera, hoping to jog any sort of memories, but eventually they give up on it. While actually watching it, they don’t mind the murder silhouettes. While sleeping, however, it has triggered more than one nightmare.

Haruka: He thinks Weakness is very pretty – he’s amazed seeing himself on the screen and hearing his voice, knowing he’s not that good of a singer. Even before his innocent verdict, it gives him a huge surge of confidence. Once he gets to know the others better, he gives them mv permissions, then stares intently at their faces to see their reactions as they watch it. AKAA scares him a bit, seeing his own intense emotions on screen, and he only gives Muu permission to see it. When he’s alone, Haruka pauses the shots of his mother, just to stare for a while.

Yuno: Laughs at the symbolism her mind used in Umbilical. She’s never shied away from sexual words/thoughts, so it's funny the video was as tame as it was. She thinks the song is fun, and isn’t afraid to show the others and sing snippets of it around the prison. Some days it’s too emotional for her to get into it, but most of the time she tries to display a confident attitude about it. After Tear Drop, she’s satisfied with her anger and more overtly sexual images. If anything, she feels too exposed by the shots of herself looking more vulnerable/sad. 

Fuuta: He experiences a solid mix of embarrassment at the gaming theme in Bring it On and feeling a surge of pride that he looks badass in the knight’s armor. He’s worried the warden won’t take him seriously with the video game obsession, but he absolutely loves the song and thinks it portrays his toughness and ideals well. He’s less thrilled with Backdraft, everything about it unsettles and embarasses him. He’s thrown by the shot of crossing out his own silhouette – he’d had self-harming thoughts, but wasn’t quite ready to confront them so blatantly yet. Like Haruka, he can be caught pausing the arcade shot just for a moment before turning the whole thing off and storming away.

Muu: She has mixed emotions towards After Pain. She hates seeing herself look so weak and pathetic, but it gives her a lot of hope that her story will be understood. She misses her friends, and seeing them again is bittersweet. She closes her eyes at the moment of the stabbing – she’s only gotten the courage to watch it through her fingers once. She watches INMF once, then refuses to look at it again from shame/horror. Despite Haruka’s begging, she doesn’t let him watch it, either. 

Shidou: He asks Es what they saw in Throw Down. Upon finding out his family wasn’t in it, he chooses not to watch it. He believes he already knows all about his emotions and crime, so there’s no need to go through that pain again. He’s tempted to watch it when he’s confused about Es’ verdict, but still holds off. He does watch Triage when informed his family is in it. He spends hours in front of the screen by himself. Only after seeing that one does he watch Throw Down, though he’s still left confused about Es’ decisions.

Mahiru: Absolutely loves TIHTBILWY. She thinks it perfectly describes her situation, and that the song is very cute. She lets others watch it, and unlike Yuno, feels like singing it 24/7. It reminds her of her bf, and she thinks that’s very romantic. Similar to Shidou, she spends a lot of time watching I Love You just to look at her boyfriend. She shows it to everyone, just to show him off and talk about him, even if she does skip over the beginning and end each time.

Kazui: He is very similar to Shidou; he refuses to watch his videos until T2, assuming it would be too painful to watch something he already knows and wishes to avoid. Unlike Shidou, seeing Hinako is far too painful, and he regrets watching it and seeing her so happy on their wedding day. Though maybe he’s still waiting, and hasn’t seen any of the videos yet…

Amane: Magic makes her worry more than anything. She fears she’s poisoned by unnecessary vainness since so much of her video involves cute things, colors, outfits, animals, and is set up like a tv show. She’s also worried that Es and the others will really see her as a child because of how cute the whole thing is. She prevents herself from watching it too many times, but buried under all her fears, it gives her a surge of pride seeing herself so talented and pretty and the star of the show. Purge March only reaffirms her confidence in her crime – the video brings up some awful memories, but it shows her as a leader, a warrior, a hero! It brings her comfort and confidence more than anything.

Mikoto/John: The videos are distressing to both of them, and they spend all their time studying the others’ screentime. Mikoto watches in horror as John does things that line up with his spotty memories, and John panics seeing that his actions distress Mikoto more than they’ve reassured/saved him. John does end up watching his own scenes a few times – it feels incredibly good to appear in a way that Mikoto may finally notice him. He feels seen. Now, logically I think that MeMe would be the final tipping point in which Mikoto finally accepts the situation and his DID, but if I must stick to his canon denial, then I’d say he goes on a whole rant about movie magic andt the crazy things you can do with editing nowadays. He doesn’t have a good explanation on how Milgram found his home and knew so much about him, but he explains everything away as cgi or camera effects. Double manages to sway him a bit more, as he hears John speak so plainly to him. Just as the audience had some debate on who was apologizing at the end of Double, Mikoto and John wonder who is apologizing to whom. Though they both come to the conclusion it’s their own apology, they decide that if it was the others’, they’d accept it and forgive them.

Kotoko: She’s very pleased with Harrow, and is unashamed to show it to the others. Though she’d been able to watch a few of the previous prisoners’ videos, it still shakes her a bit when she realizes that Milgram really does have the tech to look deep inside her. She watches it just a few times – not obsessing over it, but not afraid either. Deep Cover, however, is a once-and-done sort of deal. She claims she’s not letting the others watch it because “they couldn’t handle such harsh but true criticisms about themselves,” but she doesn’t end up watching it anymore herself, either.

the horrifying implications of Cinderpelt as a pawn of Starclan- trying everything she can to unsuccessfully stop her apprentice from leaving because she's terrified of the internalised idea of "failing" her clan and her job due to her impending death, while unaware that the entire Crowpool situation is intentional by Starclan for their own benefit to initiate the Power of Three prophecy and that her death in itself is to be Leafpool's motivation to stay- the idea that the stars, the ancestors and family and friends she devoted her life to always meant for her to die young and hopeless and were willing to manipulate her emotionally for the best outcome for them- is alone a piece of her character that's infinitely more heartwrenching and tragic and interesting than "she actually had a crush on Firestar and she's sad she can't date him :((" and I'm so mad that the latter is her primary legacy instead of any interpretations of her as a character that go beyond boring forbidden romance #17 that was barely even implied to begin with

#im sorry but with knowledge of how fucked up starclan is what they did to cinderpelt is. horrifyinggg #this specific interpretation is maybe a bit of a reach but it goes hand in hand with them lying to squirrel and leaf and so on #and also makes more sense in-universe as to why they 'reincarnated' her afterwards than literally just a cocktail of fanservice and ableism #hey sorry we put you on an inevitable death sentence so your apprentice could get pregnant but stay here lol. you can uh possess ur niece i #anyways sorry for all the cinderpelt talk ive been thinking a lot about her lately #she has such a weird reception in the fandom in that she's considered a 'fan favourite' but literally nobody cares about her too much #theres only like 4 cinderpelt maps with over 100k views and theyre all a couple years old at least #for good reason probably because there's a lot of ableism around her both canon and fanon #but still it's a wee shame since she's such a major character to the first two arcs that the little fanon about her there is is kinda borin #cinderpelt #warrior cats #i think shes a lesbian and i also think she should have been allowed to kill someone for fun

Imma be honest I usually hate posting about my own works because I get embarrassed immediately afterwards BUT. And this is a big but. I really want to share this !! Because I've been planning (and now writing!!!!!!! Yippee!!!) a little (not little) book inspired by the Temeraire series. But with pirates!!!! And also privateers, theyre one of my favourite history tidbits

(I have not written many book blurbs before so this a new one for me)

Set in the early 1700s, amid the Golden Age of piracy, Timor tells the tale of a pirate captain caught in strange tides. When the Delight, captained by Jean Linsey, captures and raids a merchant ship, her crew finds something peculiar in the hold: the remnants of a dragon's egg, with no hatchling to be found.

The men are curious; their anxieties are short-lived, for as they draw from the raided ship, they find themselves struck by the presence of a dragonet — It has ravaged the deck, and could only be the mysterious missing hatchling.

The young dragon is thin, and by all assumptions a feral beast; it must be caught, and is restrained in the ship's hold. To his shock Linsey finds that the dragon is not only intelligent, but bonds with him almost immediately, setting the course for a whole new chapter of his life.

The dragon, he names Timor, after the Australian sea -- but while they navigate the course of their strange circumstance, Linsey finds it is not so easy to captain a dragon as it is a ship, for below the waves of the Atlantic, something monstrous is near…

(Or, to summarise, pirate captain Jean Linsey is forcefully adopted by a large stray cat, who is also a dragon, and immediately has the worst few months of his life)

#there are also sea monsters. i couldnt resist #its a pirate story theres gotta be a kraken #also the temeraire inspiration is kind of obvious when you read it. considering its man-on-boat-gets-dragon #but crossing my fingers it doesnt turn out too similar #i dont think it will but. that would make me sad #anyways #how do i tag this !! #i might (MIGHT) start posting the first couple chapters here #if that would be cool....(autism eyes) #hoping the boat puns are obvious enough btw #“tides” “course” because boat. because pirate. geddit. geddit. #im reaching here #started. tag ramble i dont know how to finish #OH also the pirate crew has a ship's cat her name is Estella

Thinking abt spiraling upwards side characters again. Charredpelt my absolute beloved

#rat rambles #spiraling upwards #warriors posting #girlies who are trying so soooo hard to support womens wrongs but the wrongs are that their wife is cheating on them #and now she cant even get closure cause said wife is dead along with the man she cheated on her for #like charredpelt isnt stupid she knows these cats too well but thats exactly why she keeps to this day justifying them to herself #all while living as the sole parent to their children #the worst part is that if she had just been properly talked to abt it first she probably would have been ok with it #but she wasnt. she didnt even get the choice to set up boundaries #for the record shes my favorite cragclan cat and has been since she came out as trans lol #shout out to daisystar tho my boy is so cute and also so messed up <3 #and egretpaw and furzepaw ofc get honerable mentions but theyre main characters so ofc I've thought a lot abt them #but yeah for cragclan I deliberately chose out cats I hoped would kill eachother and instead they just got into a bunch of love traingles #and then I made eagle clan with the same goal with a bloodthirsty deputy but then conestar just loved everyone and was loved by everyone #hell the one cat who disliked her at first is her wife now girlie is just sitting here loving her wife and family #I honestly couldn't tell you who my favorites in any other clan is tbh #I do adore most of elmclan but I cant say theres anyone I like that much more than everyone else #like honeystar is definitely the one who caught my attention first due to her hashtag trauma playing out in real time right away #but also thistlepeak and whimsygoose are sooooo silly I love them quiet kitty and their loud rude kitty husband #oh and also pumpkin shes not that deep of a character I just think shes cute #for eagleclan I cannot lie to you I barely remember anyone in there atm but I do love conestar shes so silly #and minkclan is another hard one caus they're the first one I made so I have a lot of love for basically all of them #but blazebelly was my og favorite shes like charredpelt but instead of having a wife cheating on her it never got past a one sided crush #and lightnip is also a current fave of mine shes so mean I love her #ratstar has always been one of my favorites of all the clans tho shes just so silly and incompetent #and shout out to nightfur for being the only cat I've ever seen generate with romantic feelings towards a cat #it was for my default dead cat raincinder who is also a shitty asshole but that just means nightfur is tragic now <3 #oh yeah I should probably provide more exicit context on the clangen stuff huh #basically I made the four main clans in clangen and used the gameplay as a skeleton for backstory and worlduilding #building off of premade characters and concepts has always been one of my favorite things (as seen by how many randomized aus Ive done)

One thing bout our house is that cats love to enter it but the moment they see a person, they'd immediately run back out. Like the other day there was this cat (I think her name was Lena? A neighbour's cat! With a cute lil pink collar), and she was very slowly walking inside and when I noticed her, she quickly turned around and left. (Didn't even get to pet her too boo... she saw me looking and just went nope).

And then today, when I woke up and was prepping stuff for my bath, just as I walk by the front door, a cat was also walking inside and we looked at each other and it also immediately left (I dunno whose cat this one is but it has a collar too! And I think it's a boy, with a cute lil black collar). I decided to follow it out the door thinking that maybe it's still nearby for me to pet! But nope! It was already halfway across the path! I called over to it in a low voice like: "Cat!" and it just made a loud and loooong meow. Like okay, sorry for interrupting your intrusion. It laid on the floor and I kept calling over to it "cat!" and it kept meowing back at me in increasingly exasperated tones. It's so adorable!

#aria rants #after awhile it decided to fall asleep and ignore me. 10/10 experience at the start of the day #i think it was trying to tell me that ''no! my name is not ''cat''!'' sorry lil fella i dont understand cat language #i think cats just sees our house as a safe space until they notice that oh shit there are ppl here and decides to just leave #another cat thatd enter our house is also a neighbor's cat (no collar. is an orange cat!) she's easily scared and sometimes #whenever she accidentally gets locked out. she'd run over to our house and hide under the bed until the owner comes pick her up #theres also two stray cats that kept coming back tryna enter too (unfortunately we cant take in any animals rn boooooo)

I made an ingo jacket from scratch for halloween because i’ve lost control of my life.

I did, however, learn a lot about sewing in the process. So. Live your truth ig

#for like. my second from-scratch sewing costume I’m pretty proud of it #theres some stuff here and there but overall its sturdy fits great and looks like ingos jacket and hat #i bought a discount dress pattern that had the cinched waist and collar that I wanted and modified it from there #made like three prototypes before i was happy with it #amyway the darts and all the GODDAMN STRIPES killed me but it was worth it for the number 3 tumblr sexyman himself #and yes my cats sat on the jacket at every chance they got #i fixed some of the awkwardness with the collar and added the emblem to the hat after this pic but im too lazy to take another pic #OH AND ALSO BUTTONS I added the buttons #cosplay #pokemon #pokemon black and white #subway boss ingo #sewing #myart #i mean it IS my art so it COUNTS #cant wait to take this shit to like a convention or some shit

bold theory but im like 80% sure that the spiderman 2 story was a little lackluster because the dlc is going to be doing a lot more of the heavy lifting this time around

#i mean theyve definitely got dlc planned already… they had no idea how well the first games dlc would sell but this time around they do #i mean. okay heres my thought process here #1. #we know that norman is going to become the green goblin soon. the ‘’g-serum’’ he talked about was for harrys cure after the symbiote failed #but norman is probably the one who becomes the green goblin. how? idk yet maybe he tests it on himself first or something #i think thats going to be one of the storylines in the dlc #2. in this game they introduced ally teamups for the crimes in the overworld #two for the spidermen respectively and one for wraith. but during the period where harry is agent venom he has an ally teamup as well #his own animations and voice lines and everything. and thats a very short part of the game #so im actually convinced that harry will wake up from his coma in one of the waves of dlc and fight with the symbiote again #black cat had special finisher animations with miles too so maybe shes an ally teamup too? 👀 #maybe wishful thinking but tbh i could see it happening considering the black cat threads from this game havent been entirely wrapped up yet #and also theres a severe lack of ally teamups LOL so im p sure harry at the very least is coming back #maybe to help fight norman somehow for when he turns into the goblin ? #idk. anyways #3. we still have the rest of kravens family to worry about and since they were tracking felecia maybe thats where she comes back ? #4. obviously theres going to be a dlc about the flame/cletus cassidy + carnage. #the flame even has a cult in this adaptation and their gatherings would make great bases which this game DESPERATELY needs more of #also going back to the ally teamup thing yuri still has one post game #and theyre definitely continuing her story given how open ended that questline was #im like. pretty confident in this even though i know its kind of iffy #if they save harry + the goblin for spiderman 3 i wouldnt be surprised but i think it has a solid chance of being addressed in the dlc #tldr there were WAY more lose ends than the first game

Hi tumblr, I'm once again here to scream into the void so please ignore me. Just need an outlet 🙃

#moving out and back in with my parents really screwed me over financially hhhh #you'd think it'd be the opposite way but there's so many things i need to buy again because i don't have them here #and obviously having to take care of the cats all by myself #I've got some big heckin bills coming up and not enough money to cover those. fuuuuck #I'm also supposed to go to an award show with friends and need an outfit for that but theres literally no way for me to buy anything atm #I'm running out of food as well #hhhhhh I love my job so much but not being financially stable is Too Stressful man

Sagawa and shimano likers have like infinitely more interesting takes on their relationship than their haters because people who dislike them will be like UGH those SCHEMING old fucks are probably tongue fucking and sipping champagne over how best to ruin majimas life , and sagawa/shimano fans are like They wanna mail each other bombs so bad

#Listen to my problems #im literally obsessed because like theres not enough canon information to actually establish a relationship between them #not unless youre insane i mean but sagawa did let majima walk right past him and to shimano even though he was holding a gun <- smiling too #sorry he wasnt smiling but his smug cat face is literally like his rbf its always on #and also i remembered wrong i thought majima had the gun in his pocket or was badly hiding it but he was literally holding it in his hand as #he stormed the building. also the place was literally empty as he approached (relatively) two high ranking members of opposing factions #and ...? no bodyguards ? just sagawa standing outside lazily while smoking a ciggie no biggie ..? #kinda sus ..... #sorry i guess it was a secret meeting after all but still kinda sus. and sagawa even was like LOL majima youre gonna kill shimano ? awesome #<- NOT VERY SUBTLE. #i appreciate the fact that theyre sworn brothers and seem to have at least working relations with each other but it genuinely seems like #sagawas getting the short end of the stick here considering he has to wipe shimanos ass every time he needs a favour #shut UP im just trying to write a werewolf fic and i was thinking sagawa should have a bite wound from majima because shimano didnt tell him #the kid was a wolf because he wants him (either one) to die #but literally its so funny to see the wiki be like ‘oh we dont know why sagawa was assassinated...’ and sagawa fans are like Shimano Did It #shimano fans are also like (laughing) yeah shimano did it

You mentioned making a sculpture to spread the message to keep domestic cats indoors, may I ask about it? What sort of sculpture was it?

I've also made a sculpture on this subject (inspired by too many close calls with my neighbor's cat while pulling into my driveway at night) and I think it's cool that there are others who share this experience.

Yes, I was making a ceramic cat for one of my projects this past semester, it's kind of a dual meaning one, half about feral cats and how dangerous/toxic they are to the environment and themselves, and then half about nuclear/ecological collapse.

I think on its own, it doesn't fully get that idea across, but at the show (and the only good pics I currently have lol) I got to hover around it and explain the meaning a bunch. I tried to keep a more cartoony style too, since that masks the kind of brutal imagery a bit, like the fish bleeding from the mouth but the blood is candy red and the fish eyes have comical little X-s

I also have plans to add to it a bit, since I'm hanging onto this sculpture for a little longer, but I was starting to make dead birds to cluster around it too, with broken necks and twisted in ways to more lean into that destruction of wildlife thing with outdoor cats. I also might add glowing paint to the eyes of the gas mask

For a vague scale, it's about 15" tall. With the colors, it's been enough to be eye catching at least!

#myart #honestly i could have gone harder in the outdoor cat angle but hey #more to try next time lmao #the starting point was more the environmental thing too #it just grew from there #and the body shape is modelled after my (happily indoor) cat #who very kindly modelled the claws for the paw over the fish too #but yes thanks for your ask! #sorry I think this took several days to answer #i would also love to see your art inspired by the worry for the safety of the cat! #we've got one neighbor cat too who luckily stays away from the cars and is nice enough that i can just pick him up #but i have to keep him away from my bird feeders constantly #and like theres a lot of predators around here i dont want him getting killed
