Usually Monday uploads but today is Tuesday. Tetanus shot. What can ya do? Still humbled at how many people care about skyboxes. See you next Monday or on Patreon.

I think that the rain on the second day is more about producing a feeling of disappointment and melancholy rather than urgency. After everything is bright and sunny on the first day, this is like a solemn moment when everyone is beginning to lose hope and realize that the moon is actually falling. This is probably about the point when many of the NPC's dialogue goes from "There's no way that the moon is falling!" to "Oh, shit, it really is falling... This is going to negatively impact the festival, isn't it?" It is about disillusionment and the sickening realization that things might not actually turn out okay in the end.

I have never felt so in the target audience for anything in my life.

12:47 That guy's actually the part-timer that works at night. The owner is the one who's there during the day; he changes into a different outfit and is the one who runs the Curiosity Shop at night. The part-timer actually is working part-time because he's in a band that apparently isn't making much money. You can see him in a tree in Termina Field trying to get some red rupees during the day. He says he stole the rupees from a crow... The same crow that circles Clock Town and is "fond of musical instruments" (according to a gossip stone) and will drop rupees for you if you play songs for it, implying he played music for the crow so it would drop rupees. Yeah, this game is amazing.

Maybe the skybox that's left out is the one at the beginning of the game in the forest since you already covered it kind of?

The whole "Sunrise during the world ending" thing was a great observation. Gives me chills

More of this please, as well as more "unremarkable locations" too if you can squeeze it in 😄

When you're just outside of a large thunderstorm the sky can turn green, so I can definitely feel the sense of foreboding from it. Especially coming from somewhere where a relatively calm looking green sky means tornado weather.

The vibe of this game was something else as a kid. It was so alive.

You ever just turn on Majora's Mask and just walk around and absorb the atmosphere? Like no doing quests or anything, just taking in the world the developers crafted.

I feel like the green tint is reminiscent of the yellow-y sky before a tornado or something. Gives the vibe of an incoming disaster

My brother and I were at the hospital stuck in a small room over the last 8 days while he had tests run and I introduced him to your videos. They really cheered him up--he loves your sense of humor. However, I turned one of your videos up loud when he needed to take a crap in the bathroom to drown out some noise, and then it became a tradition. Anytime either of us had to poop, we'd pick out another egg busters and turn it up loud. He insisted I make you aware of this.

edit: Oh and also I really liked this video too. I probably should have mentioned that.

I’ve always felt like the skyboxes in Majora’s Mask did a lot more for the atmosphere than they did in Ocarina of Time. One of the things I remember most vividly was how beautiful the night sky looked, with its rich purples and blues and reds on the final night especially. It was oddly serene; even though you’re going to die in a couple hours, the sky offers some level of comfort in your final hours.

I appreciate that when you mimed a villager smacking something with their hammer, you used not just any old hammer PNG, but a Martinez hammer. They are light weight, ergonomic, have plenty of features, and are weighted to strike hard despite their comparative lightness. Good choice.

I think the unmentioned skybox is from the Giants' "rooms".
The weird pastel subspace with the bubbles.

Granted, it's not playable in there, but you can still see around.

Majora's Mask is one of those games that makes you view life differently after playing. They did time travel and created a sense of urgency in an alive world perfectly.

5:20 the greenish hue works because it reminds you of the sickening yellowish hue you get before a storm starts

Not easy to create a unique series of gaming videos in the year of our lord 2022 but you're really nailing it

I honestly prefer the longer skybox appreciation vids. Gives more time to sink in to the vibe they give off.

Inverted Stone Tower Temple has a cool thing going on, especially at night. The sky is below you, and at night it actually looks like the temple is in space.

I love the rare skyboxes either in places it feels like you're not supposed to be like the fourth day just before the moon crashes or in places you're only gonna be in briefly like the inside of the moon. I've always loved how serene that scene is right at the climax of the game, like you've just woken up from or gone into a dream state, gives me an eye of the storm type feeling.
