Life in the Shadow of Midgar

Feel free to hype this up on social media, because I still can't, but please only share the patreon link- not the video itself!

It's been about a month and a half now of suspension- I have no idea why, I haven't got an email from them or anything. My best guess is that twitter is mostly unstaffed due to covid, and so the automated systems are more susceptible to the scattered internet hate I sometimes get. I'd love to get it back, but I don't have a lot of agency here :(
Edinburgh is one of my absolute favorite cities on the planet, so it was awesome to see it used as an uncommon comparison to Midgar. Also it felt like an apt video to watch after hearing the phrase "human capital stock" from a government official.
I haven't gotten to FFVII Remake yet, it's on my list but with the lockdowns I'm being a bit more frugal. Still I decided to watch this and I'm glad I did. As you were talking about the people living their lives down below the plate it reminded me of chiaroscuro, the painting style with high contrast between dark and light. In chiaroscuro, the darkness is used to accentuate and draw focus to the light, and I can't help but feel that was part of why they added those touches. Those little touches would be lost in a more bright setting. But the fact that everything is so dark makes the comparatively bright spots shine.
Astounding man, great job yet again!
Jacob, what happened to your twitter account? I wanted to link to the video, because it’s brilliant, naturally. Why are you suspended?
