For anyone having difficulties with the game crashing or performing poorly, the images/videos used are of very high quality, 3840x2160 which just so happens to be the same resolution as 4k HD. It will run poorly on crappy computers (like my shitty laptop with integrated graphics card which is what caused me to look into it) but should* run fine on a desktop.
The image folder is not packed, so, in theory, you could use something like IrfanView to do a batch resize (say 25% or so) of the images and get better performance. The animations are webm files, so finding a free tool to downsample those may also be benificial.
