Okay...
We are potentially gonna piss off Jhonen Vasquez
Or make him very happy
Either way, I'm scared of the potential copyrights we may encounter, we have to do some thorough searching for some media that vastly deviates from our own
It's not like every media company of our timeline will have its counterpart survive in that other one, right?
By the way, it goes against my earlier "OWL HOUSE FOR THE WIN!" sentiment, but we should stay FAR away from Disney
The multiverse is big, an interdimensional Mickey Mouse god emperor is not out of the question

An MP4 file containing the first episode of Adult Swim's Johnny the Homicidal Maniac is now on your computer. 480p, about 50 megabytes, and just over 12 minutes to download. Frankly, it's kind of baffling how TL-2's MP4 codec is still readable by your TL-0 video player. This oddity, however, is quite miniscule in comparison to the real revelation.
To your knowledge, this file is the first instance of a piece of one timeline's culture being transferred across universes. The key phrase being to your knowledge: from what you've read in stories that could very well be real, the first thing that any inventors of multiversal travel discover is that they are the last people to invent multiversal travel.
Cyclopean empires, far outweighing the superpowers of your Earth in both military and economic might, sprawl their untold masses of tendrils over the millions upon millions of timelines. Timelines which, if your theories are correct, comprise a mere fraction of a fraction of a meager fraction of the entire multiverse. It'll be a dangerous place out there, and wealth is only the first of many securities you'll need in order to stand against them.
...But that's a matter for later. Much later. Right now, you need to set up some social media accounts for displaying this incredible find. Turning off the Arch Linux OS on your computer, it doesn't take long before your copy of Windows - intended for streaming and other homeline internet interactions only - is back up and running. Now it's only a matter of creating the accounts and starting up the stream.

Chances are, if you play the episode just once, then anybody who just drops in the middle won't be able to view the whole thing. Play too few and the stream will attract less viewers, play too many and people might get bored and leave.

Then there's how much you want to talk over the episode. It's all up to you in the end, but it's still important to consider what other people might think of how you impact their viewing experience.

Another matter to consider is what you'll do with the episode once you've streamed it on Twitch. One thing you could do is upload the JTHM pilot to your brand new YouTube channel, or instead upload the full VOD of your stream. Hey, you could even do both!

[] [Downloading] Download the rest of the first season
[] [Downloading] Download half of the first season
The first ideas which come to your mind involve downloading more episodes of Johnny the Homicidal Maniac. The first season consisted of 16 episodes, which in turn was the first of five seasons. As far as you know the show was cancelled in 2006, giving you a plethora of content to potentially stream. Download time, storage space and mystery goo consumption should still be considered beforehand.
[] [Downloading] Download Adult Swim bumpers
Keeping on track with the "edgy cartoons" avenue while not directly downloading episodes outright, it's possible for you to download and stream Adult Swim bumpers from TL-2. This would give your JTHM streams a more authentic feel, albeit at the potential risk of arousing additional suspicion from viewers. Plus, AS bumpers have been known for their unorthodox character when compared to other cable channels, which is part of why the network has such an appeal in both TLs.

Now you arrive at the video games. In both timelines, Nintendo has held a reputation of being more family-friendly than any other console titles, which may come into conflict with the audience you intend to cultivate. Of course, there are bound to be some mature titles, such as DOOM and Mortal Kombat; If you stick to those, then maybe it'll work out.
[] [Downloading] Download a Sega Saturn emulator
Despite the point of its entire existence being a marketing ploy, there is a bit of truth to the old tagline "Sega Does What Nintendon't." Games for Sega consoles were, on average, more mature than those found on Nintendo systems - or at least, you're pretty sure that this is the case. Even if you're wrong, it would still be at least worth a look.
There's also the Saturn's successor, the Sega (later Apple) Katana, which might also be of interest if you want a TL-2 Saturn emulator.
[] [Downloading] Download an Ultra Nintendo emulator
The successor to the Super Nintendo and SNES-CD, the Ultra Nintendo is TL-2's more robust equivalent to the Nintendo 64. The same issues discussed in the SNES-CD's description are present here, although games like Goldeneye 007 and Daikatana might prove your presumptions wrong.

There are many other things you could choose to download from your PIC link to TL-2. Other Adult Swim originals, imported anime from Toonami, even other cartoons which aired on different channels. There's a literal world of entertainment for you to get ahold of, and if you want to write them in then you're all free to do so.
And that's not even counting the video game side of things: the original Microsoft Xbox, the aforementioned Apple Katana, the Nintendo Wave, handheld systems like the Game Boy Nova, iPod Play and the Game Boy Supernova... but grabbing ahold of earlier console emulators might be the better investment in the short-term.

I don't like the idea of commentary on top of shows. People are there to watch the show, not listen to some dude talk. I don't know what it would add. For videogames I'm 50/50.

I just realized. If we stream JTHM, people will notice the voices. The characters are voiced by alternates of existing voice actors, so people will assume we're using AI voices. That could be a problem.

The stream has gone as planned. There were no problems with OBS or the video file itself, nor were there any attempts by trolls to hijack the stream. Gee, that'll still be something you might want to look out for... as long as you don't accidentally show the stream key. You should be fine. You're not stupid. Plus, you have a VPN, that should keep them off your trail.
No less than 28 unique viewers checked out your stream during the one-and-a-half hour it was up. Of course, not all of them were on at the same time: that number would be in the range of 4 to 6. Out of those, 4 decided to hit the follow button, no doubt out of curiosity for what your channel might bring them next. About a page's worth of chat messages graced your screen, but most of them were simple comments which could all be summarized as "pretty cool" or "man AI is getting scary". There were two chat members in particular which caught your attention, and for what it's worth it might not have hurt for you to respond to them:
Orvii: Hey, this is pretty accurate to the comic! It would be nice if it wasn't AI generated, though
This first guy was the most eloquent compared to everyone else. It would only be kind for you to send him a response, although given what you're already up to "kind" might not be often used within your vocabulary. At the very least, you could take a look at his digital footprint.

[] [Orvii] Assure them that the AI model is "extremely advanced"(*)

Then there's this other guy, who was the only one to bring a serious challenge to your right in "creating" this "AI-generated content". It's a bit of a wonder to you that nobody's questioned whether or not this was the product of generative AI at all. But who knows, it might not be long.
MualdE: looks kinda cheap. also andy berman's gonna be pissed
For context, Andy Berman is the voice of Nny in the show. It's a bit gruffer when compared to his Dib voice, but you can still tell it's him.

While laying your head down on the pillow in an attempt to go to sleep, your mind continues to race about the SNES-CD. During the stream you gathered a list of eight games with no OTL IP counterpart, which should keep you out of trouble from any potential lawsuits... or at the very least, you'll be safe with those games made by "nonexistent" companies.
You aren't too confident in your gaming abilities, but you're still hopeful that you won't come off as a terrible player. For the time being, it might be best to stick with two or three games - so make sure not to overwhelm yourself.
[] [SNES-CD Games] Pickton Lake (1993)
AKA the game that inspired TTL's Alex Hirsch to co-found a game dev studio. This right here is a horror-themed platformer starring siblings Cody and Cassidy, who are in a desperate race to rescue their friends from the Pickton Bottomfeeder and its many minions. It's more of a kiddie horror game comparable to Goosebumps if it had a game on the Sega CD, so your intended audience might not like it as much as some of the other titles. There was a sequel released two years later for the same system, if that means anything.
[] [SNES-CD Games] Squad Four (1995)
Developed by Argonaut Software following the immense success of Star Fox, this game is a space-themed action-adventure game with 26 unique missions, each of them containing at least one segment each dedicated to infantry combat, exploration, and all-range combat.
Two of the main casts' voice actors are pretty well known IOTL, so if things go south and you get sued for copyright infringement having played this game might not look too good on your record.
[] [SNES-CD Games] Phaedra's Heart (1994)
A Square Enix title, this JRPG follows the quest of a goddess who was stripped of her powers to reclaim them from a mysterious evil overlord. Given that it was developed by a company that exists IOTL it might not be worth playing, at least in the beginning.
[] [SNES-CD Games] Frantic Flight (1993)
This shoot-'em-up, made by the UK developer Interstellar Games, is notable for becoming a cult classic in the decades following its release. And based on what you've read, you can easily see why: the customizability of your ship, along with the randomized wingmen you receive with each new game can .
[] [SNES-CD Games] Universalizer (1994)
Yet another space shooter with an incredible gimmick, Universalizer gives you the power to harness the power of the very stars and planets themselves in order to assail your myriad foes. This game was developed by Japanese company Mokon, which was founded a mere two years earlier and therefore nonexistent IOTL.
[] [SNES-CD Games] Major Hazard (1994)
"Those shrimp bastards are gonna pay for frying my rice" -Major Hazard(**)
A cheesy third-person shooter with a tone not too dissimilar to Duke Nukem. The enemy faction is a Nazi stand-in along with their extraterrestrial patrons, so fighting something edgy like that might appeal to your target audience.
[] [SNES-CD Games] Dark City (1993)
Detective noir for the win!
In Dark City, the player takes the role of private investigator Boris Henshaw, who in his attempt to solve the case of a prominent city official's murder ends up uncovering a vast conspiracy. Corruption has deep roots spread across the eponymous Dark City, and thus Detective Henshaw must stay vigilant in order to defend himself against the many enemies he will certainly make.
[] [SNES-CD Games] Ballistic Limit (1995)
Both published and developed by Sony, this game is a hybrid 2D platformer and 3D FPS featuring a large variety of weapons with which to attack alien, mutant and sometimes human foes. Brandon Lee voices the main character of Ballistic Limit, and even though his career has long since faded IOTL you might not want to risk a potential lawsuit.

The shrill, mechanical beep of an alarm clock yanks you out of your eight-hour nap in less than an instant. Damn, that was a good dream. If only you could remember what it was about. Eh, can't be any cooler than what you're doing IRL.
But first things first: get out of bed. Eat breakfast. Get dressed. Then, take your daily trip to the gym. Crowds have always made you uncomfortable, but fortunately enough you were able to get through this time. You're going to need a strong body and a strong mind in order to defend yourself from whatever threats you may come across - regardless of whether they're from home or abroad.
Good thing you're already making progress.

You can put in a vote for more than one game if you want. I'm not sure if you're aware of that and just want to go with one at a time, but I figured this was worth bringing up regardless.
Also, I've updated the character sheet to account for the extra point. Don't know how many of you guys are familiar with GURPS, but it might be a good idea to start thinking about what to spend it on.

From what I remember 1 point can get us started on a new skill but not much else we can do with it. What version of GURPS (I think it has gone through more than one edition) are you using and what supplements?
And a 2nd game as well, hmm Pickton Lake is not a historical game either? Though Universalier would fit the theme of Frantic Flight.
[] [SNES-CD Games] Pickton Lake (1993)
Might be good but also might not be a big draw? Maybe hold this for an October play through along with any other games we get that fit the theme.
[] [SNES-CD Games] Squad Four (1995)
Potential VA issues means we have better choices out there
[] [SNES-CD Games] Phaedra's Heart (1994)
SE game- not touching anything with a company that can cause trouble
[] [SNES-CD Games] Frantic Flight (1993)
Cult classic with no potential legal issues is great
[] [SNES-CD Games] Universalizer (1994)
No issues and might pair well with Frantic Flight as a sort of discovered games or if we pass them off as newly made retro games
[] [SNES-CD Games] Major Hazard (1994)
Might work as a 3rd game?
[] [SNES-CD Games] Dark City (1993)
Not sure if there are any VA or publisher issues, also not sure how good this game is
[] [SNES-CD Games] Ballistic Limit (1995)
Sony and a known VA in this world? Pass because either one is trouble

DO NOT REDEEM
It can also give progress towards an existing skill. The quest uses the most recent 4th edition, and for the time being it'll be restricted to the Basic Set (AKA the core rulebook for GURPS).
