Well, because there was no TYT this week...

Here's an absolutely adorable tutorial on how to hug your pony from doubleWbrothers.

With my quest/race to get a Rainbow S on all of Freedom Planet 2's stages, my creativity lit up like a bonfire again, and I started crafting an alternate ending of sorts for the past week.

That story is now complete, and posted in its entirety over on AO3.

I seriously hope this video looks as impressive as it felt.

Pointers for those unfamiliar with Freedom Planet 2:
- The player-character Lilac has a boost ability. She is invulnerable for the duration of the boost. You can cancel the boost early for damage-over-time at the point of cancellation, but you are immediately vulnerable to follow-up attacks.

This week, Misty forces her friends to play a D&D campaign with a DM who sounds like she's bored out of her mind.

Luckily, I reside well within the path of totality, so I didn't have to travel at all.

And just... Wow.

During the four minutes of totality, the sky was clear, the temperature dropped ten degrees, and the speed at which a dusk-like darkness descended from the 3:00PM sky was... Wow!

It's time... For a 22-minute TYT episode!

And I only had to stay up until 1:30 in the morning.

Last fight was the longest and most intense battle in the game, bar none. Actually had to resort to health potions because I ran out of medicinal herbs.

I simply can't believe they disable aim assist on this difficulty. Yo, Guerilla, the majority of players are using controllers, you goddamn masochists.
