The Albino Hunter™ (Original) News

[p]Psyche! This time, the Virtual Hugs ended up on the Revamp's page! ːsteamsunnyː See you there![/p]

[p]So, um, apparently at least some of you seem to miss me doing these, which I wasn't expecting. So, let's do another one!

Uhhhhhhhh...

Well, recently, I've been doing jigsaw puzzles with my mom. There was this one bakery we saw a lot and wanted to try out, and we did. The food was okay, but the real highlight was this one puzzle that was sitting on the table. We didn't finish it that time (we had a time limit), but we came back another day and did finish it, so that was nice. And we've been going back ever since. ːsteamdanceː We don't normally do puzzles like this, since my mom says that it's just a big time waster (and she's right), but having a specific place where we can sit down and do them, has been kind of nice. Have you done any jigsaw puzzles lately? It might be kind of cool to try doing something like that again. If not, then, well, give yourself a pat on the back. I'm sure you've been working hard and deserve this rest. Hug-splosion for you! ːsteamsunnyː

UPDATES ON THE SEQUEL![/p][p]There are no updates. Literally none. Zip, zilch, nada.

...Yeah, that's the main reason I haven't been making little updates over here is because I have nothing to share. >_> And if I have nothing to share than...it's just kind of superfluous. ːsteamsadː But if you want me to do an update without an update, then, um, here you go?

Reason for not working on the game? I'm broke. Like, super broke. I won't go into just how broke I am, but I definitely can't hire people to work for me. And I don't think it's fair to do the work of 15 different people, all by myself. So, unless you guys can find me a jungle full of oompa-loompas who are willing to work endless hours for the price of a cocoa bean, then the sequel is staying in limbo land.

Other Thing That's Just Meh? So...I've been debating whether or not to share this with you guys at all for reasons I won't get into. But, uhh... I've made a comic? Sorta? Comics have been my thing since I was a kid, so in actuality the game was a weird outlier in my history...

However, I have committed the cardinal sin amongst the artist community and made it almost completely with A.I. Art. *Thunder claps dramatically.* So, the style is quite different than my usual style because, um, it's literally not me drawing it. But it looks shiny? It took me half a year to figure out a process to make it look that good, so...uhhh...that's a win, I guess?

It's also senseless smut for the first five chapters, but we don't talk about that. Be distracted by the pretty pictures to forget what you're reading.

I've been posting it on both Instagram and Webtoons as I miraculously haven't gotten censored again. Might try reuploading that other comic I made, but I'm still weary of doing that. Either way, I really don't care how much attention this comic ends up getting because I literally didn't draw it and it's basically smut anyway, so I mostly try to pretend it doesn't exist. I've been working on this as opposed to the sequel because I can make it for free, I am deliberately seeing how lazy I can be as a comic creator, and once I get an actual job, I can throw this in a heap somewhere and move onto more important things.

The Part You've Actually Been Waiting For...the Memes! :D[/p][p]Yup! Enough with all that boring stuff! Now we get to the good stuff! ːsteamhearteyesː[/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]So, I can't be the only one on the KPop Demon Hunters Hype Train, right now. I bet some of you internet denizens are rather sick of seeing this movie, but I'm just here for the memes. I originally had no plans in watching this movie, as I am broke, but I did and it was a better time than expected. Also, I feel like the fanbase around this movie has elevated the source material beyond what the original movie is, so I'm actually quite grateful for lurking around Meme-Land. ːsteamsunnyː[/p][p]Let's just get this out of the way... Favourite Song: Probably "Free", then "How's It's Done". Favourite Huntrix: Normally it would be Mira, as I like stoic sassy characters, but surprisingly it was Zoey. She just seems like someone I really want to be friends with.
Favourite Saja: Romance. Didn't think much of him in the movie, but PEOPLE DRAW HIM SO DANG HOT!! >.<

[dynamiclink][/dynamiclink]Steam still hates Youtube Shorts, I see.[/p][p]Haven't watched all of this guy's videos, but something about the clay modelling is so mesmerizing... @_@ [/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]This may not be one that will resonate with many people in the Steam community, but as someone with some experience in sewing, I find this channel to be a lot of fun. Mostly, I like watching how these clients get these hilariously awful dresses online, and this lady somehow brings some life back into them. I also just like watching her process with the needlework and stuff, as, again, I have some experience, and I quite enjoy the logistics of how she puts them back together again. :)

[dynamiclink][/dynamiclink]
Oh yeah, this was a cool thing!

[dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p]I've also been watching a lot of "Core" videos recently. Whether it's sharks, seals, or toucans, I just can't get enough! I'm so in love with the mellow-ness. Hope you enjoy as well~ :3

Asian Drama Watch

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_Ahead_(TV_series) This time the Asian Drama is called Onward, I mean Go Ahead! Yeah! Those are both forward moving momentums! Totally the same! ːsteamsunnyː

So, this one is about a blended family where two dads decide that they are going to raise three kids together, because all three of their moms are out of the picture. And they're completely straight. If this was set in the West, then there would be gay implications, but it's actually kind of refreshing to see that it's just a couple of guys raising a family as complete bros.

It's been a few years since I've seen this show, but I remember the relationship dynamics between the characters being very believable and nuanced. So, yeah. Highly recommend it. ːsteamthumbsupːːNoPantsː

------

Well, that's all for now. Hope you have a nice evening, and I hope I haven't bored you too much with semi-in-denial-Kpop-Demon-Hunter-Obsession. :P[/p]

I realize I haven't done one of these in a while, partially because I keep forgetting, and also because I feel like I've run out of things to say. But since it's almost Christmas, if there was ever a time to write another one of these up, it would be now. Never mind that I'm not very good at being Christmasy, let's go!

~NEWS?~

1) So, um, about a month ago, my roommate challenged me to make a comic in a week. I asked for a couple week extension, and ba-da-boom, ba-dabing, it's done now. I originally created it with the intention of posting it on Webtoons. And I did. And in less than 24 hours, it was censored. Since Webtoons staff has a really bad history of any form of decent customer service, I took the comic down and reuploaded it to Tapas. Being censored kind of took the wind out of my sails with the whole thing, but for anyone who's interested, then give it a read.

2) So, in preparation for uploading my comic, I decided to finally put together a designated email for anyone who wants to purchase my book. (You know, this one?) The email in question is HandsomeandHideousComic (at) hotmail (dot) com. If you want to order a book, then feel free to shoot me a message. ːsteamdanceː

~THE FUN STUFF~

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
I already know I did a lot of Studio C related content, but this one is just lots of fun. XD These videos strike me as being very binge-able.

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
Food for thought... ːcatinablanketː

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
I know this all might seem super obvious to some of you, but this guy seems to be one of the channels that the other DnD Meme channels keeps quoting. XD I binged this guy for a couple days straight, I swear...! Sir Bearington is the stuff of LEGENDS!!! Krod isn't too bad either. ;)
Also, in regards to this short, joke's on you! Kalymn already had the confident apathy to walk straight up to the front table! >D

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
Also, this lady is loads of fun, coming up with all sorts of skits for the various houses of Hogwarts. She's worth a binge or two as well. ;)

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
This guy is less about Christmas, but is just a fun Youtube Channel in general. Maybe I'm just sharing so I can easily find his stuff again. (I am very perplexed by the random dominatrix outfit that shows up from time to time. ...I have questions that I'm not sure I want answers to... XD)

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
So...this is a super weird tangent, but some years back, I found a really cool piece of fanart that was of a Russian Animated Cartoon from around the Soviet Era. From there, I binged a whole bunch of them and have become a weird sort of fan of the whole genre? (If we can call it that...) I recently went told my roommate (same as above) about my weird passion/hobby, and I would be remiss if I didn't try to share them with you. My personal favourite just happens to be the first one I watched (Vasilisa Mikulishna, girl boss done right), but I also love their adaption of Cinderella, the Little Mermaid (as seen above), the Nutcracker (not as good, but still gorgeous), and lastly this little gem called Another Tale to Tell. Overall, these are just some gorgeous animations that are very clearly labours of love from a bygone era, and it'd be a shame if they were forgotten. ːsteamdanceː

Oh, and if you need more convincing, then the Russian Animated Adaptation of Treasure Island is the origin of the stronk walk meme. You're welcome.ːsteamsunnyː

~Asian Drama Replacement?~

I'm trying to think of a good Asian Drama to recommend here, but I can't think of any Christmas themed ones. So, instead, here are the first Holiday Specials Written by Bots. You're welcome.

I suppose I forgot to add a virtual hug to this Attack of the Virtual Hugs post...

...

SURPRISE TACKLE HUGSPLOSION RIGHT AT THE VERY END!! NYEHAHAHAHA! Go out there and have a great Christmas, you huggable person you! You deserve it! ːsteamsunnyː

Haven't done one of these in a hot minute. Not because I want to stop making these, but I just keep not getting around to it.

But, hey. That doesn't mean you still don't deserve hugs. So, here is a pretty big hug for you! Hope you've had a wonderful summer and have an even more wonderful rest of your year. :3

So, the other day, on the way back from a mission's trip, I saw in a gas station a card-redemption thingy for Pokemon Crystal (2000s version). Didn't end up getting it, because prices, but when I got back home, I found that I already had Pokemon Gold (also old school version) on my 3DS anyway! So I've been playing that quite a bit. ːsteamdanceː It's been fun!

Trying to keep afloat, doing some stuff on the side, not really much I can do about the sequel when rent keeps creeping up on me. Who knows what life has in store?

Steam also seems to be introducing this system where I can link all my games together in one easy place, if I create a Community Group? I dunno. It might be worth looking into, so that you guys can easily find all of zee games in one place...

But enough about me! Let's get to the real juicy stuff!

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
First up is this lovely little animation-ish channel who also does DnD Memes! :D Sometimes they have the exact same skits as the OneShotQuesters, but other times they have completely new stuff too!

Pssttt! Don't forget to watch this one! ;) You deserve it!

Here's another video from Hamster Lady. She's still going at it, even after having a baby, but the upload schedule has obviously slowed down.

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
So here's a guy I started watching because of Steven He... He does comedy skits on his main channel, but I am totally here for the reactions to reddit posts. He just seems like a super chill dude, and one of the more fun "reddit react" Youtubers I've seen. :P

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
And, well, here's a little pick me up song I'm listening to right now. It's another religious one, but just in case you can relate, I thought I'd share. :)

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
Oh, and I'm not sure I've shared this guy before, but here is the legendary game's master himself, Masahiro Sakurai! He's been uploading for a couple years now, and it kind of already made a splash in the game's world before now, but for those of you who don't know... Basically, he created a Youtube channel to help Indie Game Developers around the world make better games. And while not all of you are into game development yourselves, I figured I might as well share this with you because of Sakurai's sunny disposition, and upbeat attitude! He's just so much fun to watch, even on topics I don't really know anything about. So give his videos a watch, if you think you'd be interested! :3

And since I didn't get around to doing a write up last time, here's an Asian Drama to make up for it! ːsteamsunnyː

~~Asian Drama~~

~~Because You Totally Know You Care~~

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
The Asian Drama this time around is called "Kill You Love You" and...the title is very uncreative, but it's still a pretty sweet show. Above is the mondo, compiled cut of all of the episodes, but if you want to watch the episodes in more manageable, bite sized chunks, the playlist for that is here.

The story, from what I can remember, is this... There is a Prince who is investigating the suspicious death of his late father, and is building an undercover army so he can rightfully take the throne back from the corrupt empress. But in order to throw suspicion off of him, he pretends to be a notorious womanizer so that he can build and strategize in peace, while everyone thinks he's off with some lady. Meanwhile, the leading lady is an assassin, who is charged with protecting him...but she doesn't get the memo, so she ends up trying to kill him instead. (Whoops.)

I'm not exactly sure what the "correct" terminology for this show format is, but this seems to be a mini-series? All the episodes are really short, so even though there's a lot of them, you can get through them fairly quickly, and at your own pace. (Similar to No Doubt in Us.) What I like about this format of T.V. Show is that I never feel like my time is being wasted. With the full-blown, 45 minute episodes of regular Chinese Dramas, the plot just drags its feet in getting anywhere, so nothing truly happens until Episode 15. Which sucks and is annoying. However, with these kinds of shows, where the episodes are around 10 minutes each, the writing has to make the most of its short runtime, so even if they don't get to the point immediately, they still get there a lot faster than they do in the regular shows...! (This doesn't always translate into good writing, but sometimes you'll be pleasantly surprised...!)

This show in particular I like for a few reasons. First of all, the main character seems like another generic stoic guy, but deep down he's a big sweetie. Second, since this story is from his perspective (and I suspect written by a man as well, but can't confirm) he comes across as a lot more sympathetic. He isn't this plank of wood, staring off blankly with nothing going on; he's a guy who's pretending to be someone he's not so that he can honour the legacy of his late father. He's purposefully guarded, not bland, and that may be subtle, but it makes a difference.

The assassin lady...is charming enough, from what I can remember. (It's been a while since I watched this show.) Her demeanor is believable for an assassin, and while she does seem to be clumsier than she should be at times (and a bit too petite to be believably athletic), she's not annoying or disrespectful towards the male lead.

Though, one thing I didn't particular like was how she reacted when she found out that the male lead was secretly engaged the whole time. Granted, that kind of news would rile any woman up, but he made it clear that it was an arranged marriage, he never met the other woman, and he had no feelings for her. I don't think it was fair for the script to blame the main guy, and then "comedically" punish him for something he had absolutely no control over. Main bro didn't deserve that.

So, yeah! That's my recommendations for this time around, and I hope you have a great Autumn coming up! :D :D :D Buh-bye!

Happy Canada Day!ːsteamhappyː

Wait, what's that? Because of Steam making me go through a secondary uploading process, I wasn't able to upload the game in time for Canada Day? Oh well.

Happy Independence Day!ːsteamhappyː

Wait, what? I didn't reach that deadline either?? What deadline did I hit?? *Checks date.* Really? July 12?? I got held back by that much Valve bureaucracy??

...Er, uh, I mean...Happy July 12, everybody!ːsteamhappyː

The Early Access Version is out now! You can get it here...
