I spent entirely too much time on this. It's very dumb, and I fully understand if you need to withdraw support and block me on all social media platforms.

I'm still not even close to happy with the end result because I am a weirdo and obsess over cuts down to the frame, and even looking at this, I kind of want to go back and "change just a little." But I've sunk a ridiculous amount of time into this already for a bad joke, so I'm calling it "done."

I suppose I should explain how this idea even took root in my head.

When I'm playing games, I often record if I think something cool or funny might happen. 99% of the time, this footage gets deleted because I can't think of anything worthwhile to do with it.

While playing Shogun, I wound up recording an enormous battle at a river ford that wound up being really cool, and I thought maybe I'd do a vid of it. When I looked at the footage, I had like 12 minutes of setup between the main army and the reinforcement one, and how they were set up was sort of key to the battle. I figured that if I made anything with the footage, I could just run the setup phase at high speed with music over it.

But then I thought: "wouldn't it be funny to use the karaoke from Yakuza 0?"

And then it sort of spiraled out of control from there, and I wound up with tons and tons of footage as the idea grew dumber and dumber.

i'm so sorry
