To be fair as a VOD watcher it would probably be even better
I'm actually really glad for it, Twitch chat tends to ruin any long playthrough they get their hands on. I understand Twitch is required for people to have decent revenue, I only wish it weren't the case.
Honestly I usually prefer pre-recorded and edited down playthroughs anyway. If it fits your schedule better, go for it. And no chat distraction or backseating is a good thing in my mind.
My thoughts exactly
The new approach sounds sensible. Take as much time as you need - as long as you *do* keep going. It's a privilege to experience this playthrough. There are a few great playthrough series on youtube notoriously spanning YEARS (decades even in case of, for example, "Freemans mind"). Nothing wrong with that.
Honestly as long as you don't get burnt out and take it at your own pace, take as long as you need.
When Elden Ring came out, WoolieVersus did a similar thing where Woolie would go through the side dungeons and other things offline whilst recording. Then when the next stream happened, he woukd recap anything interesting at the start of the stream. Very similar way of taking on a large game that is a great compromise for the audience.
please don't poke into his eye, please don't poke into his eye, please.....
Doing it on your own time sounds perfect, The disco playthrough has already been great and doing it on your own pace without having to worry about streaming at the same time might make it even better. Take all the time you need.
To be real, this is more ideal. I'm here for what you can bring to it more than just vicariously experiencing the game again by watching someone else play. I'm much more intrigued by stuff like when you get the whiteboard out and diagram things like domains of Harry's experience or what's going on with Cuno. That's what's unique to your perspective and what I like to see. To be real, I've played Disco Elysium and I already get the plot of it. What I don't already know is Brady.
Sounds great man just take ur time and enjoy the game how you want to, dont let the chat or anything distract you from this great playthrough!
Congratulations on trying something new. The algorithm makes goofy demands we viewers never would. There's no 'should' involved. 🙂
As a VOD viewer I'm just happy that you could find something that works better for you and would result in more Disco Elysium! Love your stuff!
When it comes to DE, it might be even preferable as it makes it easier to focus. Besides, as great as the game is, its fandom is reaaally backseat-happy so it's easier to have actually your own playthrough with your own choice without the chat trying to force you to do something else for memes.
Cool, thanks for an update. Remember that we're here not to get entertained by you specifically, but to see you get entertained by the game.
All good bud! Get that work-life balance! Don't get content brain over the success of the series. I also like edited content more so it's a win-win for me hahaha
Thank you for the update, Brady! I think it's not a stretch to say that most of us will stick around however you decide to do the playthrough, (same as well for new projects going forward). Most important thing is that you're okay and enjoying the ride as well
to streamline the editing process, I can recommend using the replay buffer feature that makes a recording of the specific last few minutes. that makes several smaller files of specific highlights rather than one big recorded file you have to edit down.
I wanna remark how you kinda look like the platonic ideal of a therapist to me: you have that soft, almost nurturing exterior while also having a distinct air of professionalism.
im his older brother hes the best person for advice
@@brokenbonesdubstep really? Didn't know Brady has siblings, though I'm pretty new to the channel
He reminds me of the best therapist I ever had, which makes his videos extra comforting haha
@TheBeyspieler for sure! hell yeah me and brady go way back 😜
I'm just happy you still found a solution! As a VOD only watcher, this is perfect for me lol.
Also *please* consider doing videos dissecting the companions in BG3, watching you peel these guys would be amazing
Would love to see the BG3 playthrough, also dw about times, I would totally watch 1 year of Disco elysium gameplay from you if it ends up like this, the most important part is that you can enjoy the game.
good idea about DE, seems like this would be a much less stressful alternative for you so by all means go for it! I was somewhat hoping for a full stream of What Remains of Edith Finch because it’s short, but if you really have no time on weekends anymore this is a fine alternative as well. Excited to see more 😊
Very excited for What Remains of Edith Finch its such a tight experience with lots of opportunities for analysis. Hell yea.
thanks for the update
Sounds good! We’ll be waiting for new videos! They are really great.
just started watching your disco series on youtube, this will be 100x better imo
Gracias por este vídeo. He seguido el playthrough desde su inicio y espero que tu estrés disminuya
lotta content changes lately eh 😂 do what’s best for you man, whatever helps the experience is a-okay in my book. You’ll still have a lot to say about a lot of DE characters like Cuno/Cunoesse, Lena, Kim, and many you haven’t even met yet
I’d also like to say, although a lot of people are here for your insight, you’re just a generally pleasant person to be around… it’s fun to just hang out on your streams every once in a while. You don’t have to make everything a learning experience for it to be enjoyable for others. Good luck with the new format change, you’ve got a really supportive community here. See you in the next one :)
I really like the deep dives on characters
Good call !
I really like that approach!
And I think the way you talk and explain things would be really good for deepdives into characters or specific scenes and the likes.
Sounds good! Don't be afraid to google how to get money if you don't have chat to help you now. You'll get stuck if you don't have the money by the end of second day!
Exactly what I was going to do actually lol. I am totally fine with a bit of guidance on gameplay walls like that, especially if it means that narratively I got to spend all of my money helping out Cuno.
@@eurobrady I am sure that some of your TH-cam viewers could also be willing to lend a hand without giving the whole game away explicitly.
One thing you have managed to do so far is avoid one of the biggest side quests in the game that almost all players have at least started by the time you are in the game now. If you start that side quest, getting money will be no longer be an issue.
Whetever you need to do to get us more of this wonderful playthrough while not going insane, please do it!
I'm glad you're making changes to make this sustainable; I've been loving watching you go through this game and hearing your analysis, and would hate for you to get burned out or for it to negatively impact your life.
I'm honestly fine with that. I think now you will be able to focus more on the game without the chat distracting you.
You already know how to play the game so tips from the chat are not really that important right now.
Understandable! Hopefully this change means you're able to get some more rest and take better care of yourself.
As long as I keep getting Therapist plays Disco Elysium videos I am happy. Love your takes.
No worries, I have plenty of time and can wait. Take your time, I will still be here by next year at the very least.
Hey man, I think you've got a good plan. Looking forward to things continuing in a manner that is less-stressful to your life and schedule.
Hey there,
I stumbled upon your channel just yesterday and enjoyed a lot the first episode of your playthrough. As someone with very little knowledge about psychology, addiction, and mental state analysis, I found it really interesting, it added a whole new layer of depth to the game. Exploring such topics within the context of a video game is a great medium.
I haven't had the time to watch breakaway videos like the one on volition yet, but they're definitely next on my list. I think it's a great format to get the most of this psychological viewpoint you have without needing the whole game as a background. I guess the playthrough allows to see your reaction more "raw" and as a whole rather than seperated but if it's not possible with your schedule, then be it. It will also be more digest to watch, I won't have time to watch all the playthrough video and the breakway / standalone video are a better format for me.
Whatever the changes are, it was a knowledge wealth I didn't have yesterday so I just wanted to thank you for that !
Love from France 😁
I prefer a good vod over a stream any day anyway.
I didn't expect this series to be amazing to watch by you, thought a therapist for some reason would talk or extend even more way too much and slower than normal people but no, you have been the most entertaining and unhinged fun i ve watched playing this game
Hey, if this helps your mental health _and_ gets us more content variety there’s really no downside to this switch. I’m glad you’re still going to be recording yourself playing games so we can at least see you experience some things, instead of getting your commentary after the fact (which is fun too, but I think a mix of both is good). As for Edith Finch, that game is 100% about the experience so hopefully you can either just stream/record the whole thing since it’s pretty short.
Thanks for the update. I only care about your thoughts on the games I’m interested in. I don’t need every second, I’m here bc I’m fascinated in the perspective of a therapist on video games.
I really hope that the urge to 'finish' it doesn't overtake you too much. I've seen so many Lets Plays of this game that were interesting at first only to nose-dive because people misunderstand that finishing the mystery is not any more an important part of Disco Elysium than the rest (it's very intentional that your quest list doesn't have a 'main quest' block or such like most RPGs), and that talking to all the people on the side-tangents **is** the content.
Nice! Kinda like a lets play!
For what it's worth, there are LPers who take a year or more getting through Disco Elysium. Usually because they don't stream a whole lot of hours and/or they comment a lot, speculate, or go on tangents all the time. But proceeding offline is a great solution, especially given the focus of your playthrough
From your last vods it looks like you're in a tight spot with money. You may be alright. But maybe not. You might consider reloading earlier saves if you have any from before you bought some items. If I were you I'd take care to not overwrite those older saves in case you need to go back.
If you're up for dark magic people also figured out how to alter their save files to change stats like money
take your time king
Great. I think it's a good change.
Sounds good, it will be easier to do disco elysium off line, I am sure you'll still have a lot of good commentary about it. I am just glad you are not abandoning it ❤
Just do what you can and what allows you to be happy 😊
As soon as something becomes a burden on your mind or on your life it stops being enjoyable, so I'm in favor of this change. My one wish is that we could get full VODs anyway, maybe in a hidden playlist if you're too much of a perfectionist to let the Brady who isn't in entertainment mode be presented to the public. That's just my insatiable hunger for Disco Elysium content speaking though. Regardless, I'm excited to see more and I hope this change makes things easier for you.
Totally in favor of the change! All good man!
sounds good
you hustle, you grind
I'll repost this if you want advice to get money, which can be very tight on day 2. You need $20 to rent the night, or it's game over.
There really isn't a ton to make from bottles. I found a total of $2.60 from the areas that are currently open to you. The main areas being Harry's room and his outdoors drinking binge.
Can get money in the doomed warehouse area (behind the curtain in the bookstore). There's is one object, in particular, is worth quite a lot (although you may want to keep it for reasons).
There is a LOT of money that is possible (not certain) to obtain in that crate by the docks that is moved by the crane. It's difficult to open without being an Ultra liberal though.
I'm not 100% sure, but i think having a higher perception allows finding more objects.
There are several objects that can't be opened without equipping the prybar, or chaincutters (both functon the same). There is money inside some of them.
Can get money from Siileng.
Did you completely search the apartment complex? Did you open the doors? There are two sets of stairs leading to balconies that have some money.
Did you completely search the main floor of the hotel? There is a bit of money in the kitchen and around the hardy boys.
One thing I don't get is how you found those smokes. I've been looking, and looking, and I can't find smokes around Tommy, but you just stumbled on over them.
I discovered your channel through your Disco Elysium playthrough; your commentary and character analysis has brought this game to a whole new level! I love how you invest your time into making in-depth discussions on mental health in a 'fictional' world that is very much applicable to real life--- I've already learned a lot from it!
You have every right to experience media in a way that suits your lifestyle best. It seems like the hours involved with streaming didn't sound sustainable and it's good that you're altering it to better suit your schedule! I think many of us agree that you should go at your own pace and enjoy!
I'm so stoked that you plan to play "What Remains of Edith Finch" because it's a favorite of mine, and it's another really unique game/experience that offers a lot to unpack emotionally. In the meantime, take care!
I enjoy following the whole of the playthrough but wouldn't mind catching side-things just as a VOD
Real life always takes precedent! Do things at the pace is most comfortable for you, for sure.
Zeta's got a lot of GREAT designs, too, so I'm absolutely here for any building streams--the Gundam MkII is one of my favorite Gundam designs in the whole franchise.
Honestly if this disco elysium series went for the next ten years I would be happy with that outcome
Ohhh if you can do Baldur's Gate 3 too that would be awesome. We're happy about any solution or arrangement as long as you're happy and have some time for yourself.
Working full time and making content is tough man I know exactly how you feel.
I've recently watched a cinematic from the last of fast part 2. And when I saw al the expression in the characters I thought about you analyzing everything 😂.
I don't know if you would like the game but thats my recommendation when you finish this one (tlou 1 and 2) 😊
Day 2 until you see it 👀
It's ok! Games are for enjoyment. Thank you for sharing so much of your enjoyment, but you do t have to sacrifice for us.
a lot of VOD watchers are adding their thoughts in this comment section. I think I'll add my own perspective, so you know your audience a bit better: I've never been able to consistently follow a stream, so it's been pure VODs for me, for this one.
and as many have said before: disco elysium is *dense*. so much so that I'm actually not caught up to your latest VOD, having stopped to take a break about 20 minutes in.
and all I have to do is watch! streaming is hard! streaming this game under your circumstances sounds insane. for your own health, I fully endorse your decision.
I get that games like Disco Elysium are popular for many other streamers as well, but you gotta remember that most of the people that can stream a game like Disco Elysium are *full time streamers* so they actually get to stream for like 4-6 hours each time 4 or even 5 times per week because that's all they do for a living or even overall.
So I think that you should definitively dedicate time for Disco Elysium as VoDs only and just pick up some other, more streaming-friendly games: Not sure if I can recommend something since I don't know what you like and such but there's many other games where you could conceivable find interesting, fun to comment on and that don't actually require you to stream more than sporadically since they're not branching narratives people want to focus on and are just contained sessions.
And yes even specifically RPGs there are some games where the game is either divided into smaller chunks or are more about emerging storytelling around open worlds and not really tied to overall narratives all that much (Think your Skyrims and such) so maybe those would be for example, better suited for your livestreams.
You can pay an editor to edit/upload for you. Many reaction channels do this.
Good morning
What ever works my guy, you can just treat chat like you’re talking to the cosmos. The Dragon’s Dogma dragon is probably my favorite dragon.
For me this change doesn't sound like it would affect the quality of your DE playthrough since I can't catch Twitch streams live anyway. I think from now on it might even be an unintentional improvement as you've had your introduction to the game and get to solve and experience the rest of mystery on your own without people dropping guiding hints. Good luck :D
As for other games have you played or considered playing Pathologic 2? It has an entire town worth of kids to save and probably the densest written and deepest narrative in gaming (that I've personally come across having followed video games since the early 90's), which you can't experience in its entirety in one playthrough. It's in fact so niche the most of it will more than likely fly by you unless you're well versed in 18th and 19th century Russian history, philosophy, psychology, mythology as well as occult and esoteric concepts. Whereas Disco Elysium is quite relaxed with its progression of time and the limits you have, in Pathologic 2 almost every second counts and is the matter of life and death for every town citizen and major character in story, so it's also brutally challenging game to get through.
I actually prefer edited offline playthroughs instead of long twitch vods. You can cut the dull moments, you don't need to "be on" for every little moment and you can pick and choose what you want to share. As long as you keep the narrative of the game in tact in the vids, you'll be fine. And as a watcher on youtube, no chat is actually better. Less distractions and conversations we're not even part of.
That being said, enjoying the Disco Elysium vids and curious what your thoughts are on BG3 and the companion storylines. Alot of tragedy and trauma to be analyzed there.
If you'd like a recommendation for a new game in the future, Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Rebirth are some of the best games out there. You don't have to know anything prior about the FF series. Other games I would recommend are A Plague's Tale: Innocence and the sequel Requiem.
Anyways, take it easy and I look forward to future vids.
I watch VODs. I don't have enough time in my life to actually watch Streams live. So.. I don't care :D
And frankly, you do you. Don't burn yourself out with overwork
good
dragons dogma does look interesting
looks like you've realized that you enjoy playing offline a lot more
Glad for you
Hope you find a schedule that works out for you.
So, Therapist Plays Dark Urge coming soon? jk ;P
I love the new plan and I'm looking forward to seeing what Ambrosius gets up to next!
I watch basically everything on 1.5x speed. Thus, VODs are preferred anyway.
You already have a regular, steady job as a Therapist. You shouldn't also spend your free time, the time to unwind and relax, feeling like you're doing a secondary job. You should stick with what you enjoy, and not overexert to please some corporate overlords and their algorithm. I really endorse your new proposed approach, not because it'll cut on "unertertaining content", but because it feels like you'll have a more comfortable schedule. Just enjoying games and anime at your own pace, some quick non-exhaustive editing, and free-style weekend livestreams sounds like it'll work wonders.
Maybe you can also hire/ask someone to edit your stuff, to free yourself time on the weekend?
you don't really need the money for the inn. fuck it, hobocop!
as much as I like your insights when someone leaves a comment in chat and I'll miss that, life is busy and real life comes first
I think playing disco elysium without a chat might be a better experience anyway, for your first playthrough at least.
more than anything, I'll miss the sudden whiteboard lessons, but it sounds like you may just turn those into spinoff videos?
probably for the best Now your not gonna get spoiled
Honestly, Disco elysium is a tiring content, and yours is as well. Not in a negative way, but dense, informative, entertaining content, or one that makes you feel strong emotions will always be tiring. Because of how much attention it requires, plus me focusing my own priorities, I already cannot catch up to your release schedule, so this seems very fitting.
understandable! enjoy yourself
sure why not
"A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad". Don't worry abour it
Honestly prerecorded episodes sound perfect if nothing else because it eliminates the issue of chat pressuring you to play in a way that doesn't feel natural to you, which became annoying and unpleasant to see even as a viewer.
Don't sweat it, burning out helps nobody :)
I think it’ll be much better for you if you stream without concerning yourself with content, like playing games like Hollow Knight every once in a while for example. It’s a different vibe but a lot less stressful lol. Of course you can store ideas away for future videos, but that doesn’t mean it has to be something you go in depth on in the moment on stream you know? A lot of streamers actually do it this way. But regardless of what you end up doing, I’m sure your content will be as enjoyable as ever. Good luck 👍
…also, hooray for more anime content! Frieren especially has just been knocking it out of the park every single episode. I missed your videos on it for sure lol, looking forward to them
Yes I massively prefer nonlive play actually
Don't be so hasty to attribute wants and needs to your viewers. I, for one, would love to have Disco Elysium content at the pace you would like or could put it out. And the same goes for any other content. This trent of putting up content and hurrying through things as fast as possible is not something that TH-cam in it's original state was about and I really dislike how it is gotten over the years. It used to be about having fun putting up the kind of content you wanted to when you wanted to. Now it's just about money as usual. Just my 2 cents to this.
Honestly, I think I would kind of prefer that as a VOD watcher. I would rather have just the parts of the playthrough you picked out because you thought it was meaningful than literally everything.
Who are you
That's cool, comrade 🫡💯
Thanks for the update! Have a nice one 😊
