I agree with Joe about them not using the powers from the first game being dumb, that has been driving me insane since the first sequel. The gameplay loop is basically built around the powers from the first game, there's no reason why they couldn't have just given the rewind powers to different people and tell different stories.
There are some things in this life I'll just never understand. Like how when Joe read a reference to Geraldo and connected it to the Witcher, not a single person in chat said "Geraldo of Rivera"
Idk if anybody else will agree, but after how badly heavy-handed and shitty the racism was handled in LIS2, not to mention how bad the facial animations were (UNIRONICALLY REVIEWER HAD A POINT, THE CHARACTERS LOOKED SO BAD IT HURTS THE GAME A LOT), I'm suprised at how good of a trans character Gwen is. Dont have the brain power to explain why but its such a stark contrast to Wolf brothers getting shit because theyre FILTHY MEXICANS in America in comparison.
same i love gwen. she’s so likeable but i also love that they aren’t handling her with kiddie gloves and made her do something genuinely shitty (killing safis book deal)
I don't agree with Josepth, Balatro is more than just gameplay: it's amazing visuals, atmosphere and music, too. It's more than enough to be more than "just a fun game". Something tells me that if not for Astro Bot Balatro would win GOTY.
In case you don't know, Joe started a sort of tradition of playing bad narrative games during christmas time. David cage games in 2021, life is strange in 2022 and YIIK was sort of planned for 2023.
So, y know how usually these games go: Interesting first episode (killing best character), boring episode that could be skipped, boring episode w/ interesting cliffhanger, batshit end This one seems like it left the interesting stuff almost in the very ass end of ep1 and INBETWEEN ep1 and 2. This one has been legitimately funny sometimes, but unless they nail an unlikely banger ending for a LiS game…I think Joe is goin to be the silver lining of the LP
@Helperbot-2000 pfffft nah, countries in Europe that are the UK are a liberal myth (except France, which is the Christian hell made manifest on earth)
Besides Persona 3 I'd argue. Aigis, Mitsuru, and Yukari develop as people in the main story and The Answer. Fuuka's is fiiiiiiiine but pretty weak. And technically the girls in 4 and 5 do develop but they fall off after their arcs and remain really stagnant, but it's also true of the guys.
My biggest issue w/persona characters is that they do the thing where 90% of the characterization happens when they’re first introduced and then they stay pretty stagnant throughout. Sure there’s the SLs but it never has a larger impact on the story. A bit of a limitation of the game development process ik but still wish it was better.
Like hikari said, all my uploads are edited by me to remove dead moments from the stream, sometimes I overedit but it should just be like watching the full stream with faster pacing, my edits are generally 20-30% shorter, but some streams can go up to 50%.
watching for balatro and immediately quitting when lis starts
Least based Vod watcher
I can't with these 3AM streams😭

Lol my first stream…was so weird seeing me in the chat as a vod watcher

totally agree! i like gwen so much and hope the game keeps going into the right direction
same i love gwen. she’s so likeable but i also love that they aren’t handling her with kiddie gloves and made her do something genuinely shitty (killing safis book deal)
He starts streaming at 6 pm in Korea here! (there is no twitch tho)

brevity is the soul of wit
This game has been pretty boring so far, it's a bit surprising of all games Joe chose this one to come back to stream
It’s life is strange. We’re in denial because the first game was good. Surely at some point they must accidentally make a good game again.

Bad games with Joe are the best streams tho
Joe is making it so difficult for us UK andys to catch streams live 😫
well all us europeans in general
@Helperbot-2000 pfffft nah, countries in Europe that are the UK are a liberal myth (except France, which is the Christian hell made manifest on earth)
@Helperbot-2000 I'm British, I can't see past my own nation so I just assume nobody else exists apart from the French, who shouldn't exist
when does he stream?
he started streaming at like 3am EST lmao
Gwen trivia since she’s best girl! Her actress played the dragon in Elder Scrolls Online
caked up mothman goated with the sauce
Yes! Yeeeeees!!
that Persona quote makes sense, not a single female character gets any character development in any of em

54:13 is genuinely hilarious
That was such a bewildering take
oofa doofa
hey, just wondering. The complete VOD is more than an hour longer. Was there some big break in the middle?
they cut out most moments when joe isn't speaking, and subscriptions/donations unless they're funny

This game is Alan Wake 2, but worse.
