@foone There's something uniquely jarring, irritating, annoying about looking at inverted faces. My brain couldn't even parse in which direction their eyes are pointing.I just *had to* see if it's more pleasant to look at the (un-)inverted version.

okay I think I know enough about the image format to write an extractor. It SEEMS the palette is always the same, and I semi-automatically extracted it once

there are 304 distinct portrait IDs. Hopefully they didn't fuck this up and all the instances of them are identical

basically each scene has a copy of the faces used in it, and it connects those to a universal ID.but the versions in each scene could be different, especially on accident

good news: they did it right. there are no variants among the different scenes, they didn't fuck up their content creation pipeline
