Mae's psychotic break really needs to be made more clear. I agree she is not mature or sympathetic, but she has genuine memory lapses from PTSD. I think she wants to be a good friend, but doesn't always know how. She can't read a room for shit & doesn't have the maturity to understand the extent of her friends' struggles; she hasn't had those struggles, but she has had others that effect her to be the shitty way she can be. She needs a lot of work, and her state makes her so so lost. She doesn't do things with malice, but damn is it hard to handle her issues, as she tries to figure herself out.
Yes!! Like I understand why she's a tiring main character but I don't think she's supposed to be relateable to everyone, but she's supposed to show a different perspective that people aren't always doing things with bad intentions they just don't know any better
I don't think mae is doing the bad things she's doing on purpose 😭 the whole think about her character is that she's oblivious and she's maybe ignorant, but doesn't have bad intentions. Edit: also she doesn't play dumb, nor she forgets because she doesn't care she has memory lapses because of ptsd
Is it a Canadian thing to pronounce 'whoa' as woe-ah? Edit: btw Cris, you can only hang out with two of the main characters per day. That is why you haven't hung out with Angus yet, bc you picked Greg and Bea first each day.
Does TH-cam not have private messages anymore? I could swear it used to, I distinctly remember checking my TH-cam messages and once I received a message from a small channel I watched and I was really excited about it. When did this change??
It really bug me that Cristine doesn't seem to understand Mae's motivation ore character at all the majority of the time... Mae was trying to hype Bea up at the party cause it was obvious Bea was flirting with one of the guys. Mae's intentions were good, but she didn't have all the information. How was she supposed to know that Bea was lying about being a college student? Cristine seems to think Mae is selfish and was trying to make herself feel good, but that wasn't it at all... I don't know, to me it seemed really obvious that was what Mae was doing and I'm confused why Cristine didn't get that at all. Mae IS sympathetic and she's one of the most popular characters in the fandom. I don't think I've ever seen someone wildly misunderstanding her character to this degree. I can understand if someone dislike her, that's fair, but Cristine doesn't even seem to understand what makes Mae a great, unique character that the majority of fandom absolutely loves. She says Mae only sees the world from her own perspective... and ironically I feel like that's what Cristine is doing right here xD I don't think I can finish watching this when Cristine is this blind to what the main character is even like. She's judging Mae so harshly and apparantly Bea gets a pass for kinda doing the same thing to Mae; judging her for her choices. I can't help but wonder if Cris is taking Bea's side on this all the time because she wants to go to school and Mae dropped out. We all know how important education is to Cristine, I think she's letting her own mindset cloud her judgment here. Which is what she's saying she dislikes about Mae... which is honestly pretty ironic.
No wonder my dreams turned into gibberish and I woke up in a sweat thinking I was having a stroke. I fell asleep to r/choosingbeggars videos and woke up an hour into this 😭😭 I thought I was dying
3 months late to this but thats so funny. my "husband" and i have been together for 13 years and we call each other husband and wife *shrugs* it's jsut what we are to each other. honestly we dont agree with marriage only being supported by a piece of paper lol so he's my hubbs lol
Some youtubers have a texting number. Would that be a viable option? Then the person who won can text you their contact information. Just an idea. Love the streams!
OKAY GUYS, CRITICAL LIFE UPDATE BEFORE TODAY'S EPISODE OF CATS DOIN' CRIME: I WON, BITCHES!!!! I WON, AND I'M STILL HERE!!!!!! THE STALKERS ARE OFFICIALLY BEING KICKED OUT!!!!!!!!!!! And Christine, I stand by my last comment here. I don't know if I could have made it through the last few weeks without this! I wish I could give you so much more, honestly. I hope that someday I can. It might have just been by chance, but I don't care about that. Thank you. Take this as another sign of the unintended good that even this type of sillier content you create makes. You caused a lot of good over here. Genuinely, thank you so much for being here, and just being yourself. This next bit might sound pretentious, and I'm gonna brag and it's gonna get long, but fuck it, LOL. Can't even blame you if you tap out here, but I gotta chatter and brag at least a little, L O L. My stalkers are FINALLY beginning to answer for some of their crimes, AND I got them (completely legally and rightfully) evicted from the house right next door that they've been torturing us from for over six goddamned months now, AND most of both have only been possible, at ALL, because I did exactly as I have throughout all of this. Even when it meant fighting in a war that I didn't want or start. Even when it meant knowing that I'd be eliciting extra kicks from the, "opposition," if I did something that went directly against them, especially if it protected the others living around us from their immature and unjustified wrath, including multiple single parents they were intentionally targeting to stalk and harass, just because they could. I mean, these people are worse than school yard bullies, in that the severity of the harm they've been enacting has taken on a much larger scale, in multiple regards. Every single time they were held accountable, they just got angrier and angrier, and acted out more and more as a result. Then, when they tried to intimidate and attack me physically, I actively fought the abject fear from my own history of being physically beaten and abused in order to stand my ground, and to protect my home. I refused to show them that this was what it would take to frighten me into their fucked up idea of compliance. Something deep down whispered, "Never again," and I listened. I did nothing illegal in any way, maced my assaillants, dodged and removed myself from the man trying to actively swing at me further, and called 911. Somehow stayed mindful enough to personally follow legal protocol to the LETTER, even in a moment of crisis. Then I got severely cited for defending myself to be, "fair to both sides," according to the local Police force-- despite clear security camera footage showing what had occurred, which I had already submitted to them. So I pled Not Guilty and went to court, without an attorney, despite feeling hopeless, and I studied my ass off to formulate a well-researched legal defense, regardless of being terrified that I was going to be significantly punished for LEGALLY standing my ground no matter what I did by then. And for all of that anguish and hard work... I was found Not Guilty. I couldn't afford a lawyer at any point during all of this, so I flew by the seat of my pants the whole goddamned time. My local Police were incompetent and ineffective at best most of the time, literally ONE Officer nonwithstanding, so I was having to CONSTANTLY figure out ways to deal with that, on top of the regular stalking and harassment from the next door neighbors. Got told that no local pro-bono services would even so much as help me sue the landlord in a civil suit to take care of his nuisance tennants, as that would have been the next appropriate course of further legal action. Not even so much as help me formulate a Cease and Desist letter, which isn't even an official legal document. So, being a resourceful person and determined to refuse being a victim anymore, I did it MYSELF. I learned how to be adequately assertive with the asshole cops who wanted to try to accuse me of being aggressive for the mere act of trying to speak up. I learned how to get around the cops trying to keep us from talking with the Chief of Police even after the local judge told us to do just that (the answer was sadly, "call the Mayor's office," by the way, which is fucked up, and which at least the Chief later had the balls to also admit was fucked up, to his bit of credit). Weeks before that, I'd spent hours researching and writing a C&D letter, and sent it Certified with a written Return Receipt to be returned to me upon the landlord's receipt of the letter. I learned how to research Public Information resources for information I needed to attempt to adequately prosecute my stalkers. And ALL of this I've typed out? This is still just a mere taste of it all. Even now, while they're actively moving out, they are still trying to do what they can to torture us, without it being able to be easily caught or recorded. And I'm still not taking it, and showing it. I'll show it right up until the bitter end. However, I saw the Sheriff serve the papers last week. They're GONE. PERMANANTLY. They are NOT living here anymore, or ever AGAIN! The relative ending to a very long saga. Most probably didn't read to the end... and I don't blame you, LOL. But if you did, legitimately, thanks. It's been such a ride, and I've worked so hard, with so much trauma and so little recognition, that I guess I appreciate anybody caring about my story at all, lol. BUT HEY, GUESS WHO'S GONNA BE READY TO BE CATS AND DO CRIME TONIGHT? 🎉
VOD Squad here! Mae's convo makes me cringe sometimes, but I appreciate Simply's voice acting and commentary! Fun gameplay! I'm not a fan of Discord, so not on either Simply's or Ben's but I suppose if I won a giveaway I could join quick for the purpose of claiming then leave. Maybe TH-cam will assist with verification.
Idk why really, but you, streaming this exact game, with this exact timing, is so helpful to me right now. My personal life has been disaster incarnate, and I've been constantly overwhelmed and exhausted, on top of being a prisoner whenever I'm in my own house or on my own property (not anybody living in MY house, so at least there's that... though we have stalkers that DO live directly next door, so there is THAT...), on top of trying to deal with a local legal system that doesn't seem to particularly give much of a damn as a whole. For some reason though, these streams are always so soothing to me, even when I can't properly focus on them like I want to sometimes. So it sounds silly, and I know it's not for me or anything, but like... thanks. It means more than you'll ever truly know. Thanks, Christine, and long may the Holo Taco and Menchie Gang flags fly! (I'll get my hands on a Holo Taco collection one of these days, I swear! lol)
oh whoa!! i rewatch night in the woods every fall (and over the garden wall! it's my little tradition) with various youtubers but i've never seen the owl and garbage sequence before!!
Don't worry it's not just you, my KittyBoo hated my singing too. And music. She did love Queen though. She'd pur and be full lovey to freddie mercury. Not sure if it's just her or if all cats have favourite singers. Oooo maybe Menchie would like the Beatles? Or queen , she seems like a lady of good taste.
I think Mae had a lot in her head going on from one or more untreated mental illness. I've been very much there and the regret I have for so many of my actions and all I can do is try to be better now that I've gotten therapy and such for cptsd and bpd I can actually do that. I'm glad camh had better doctors than Maes doctor. Maybe she lives in the states. Idk if you've ever seen me like. Be a dick here once, I hope not, but I am really sorry regardless if you saw it or not. The topic just became too on point for my guilt not to succeed in compelling me to apologize
I've been saving these vods for sewing or roller skating, so it's taking me a while to catch up. I watched someone do a lets play on this game back when it came out, so I've been really enjoying watching it again. Cristine has been finding gameplay I didn't get to see before, so that's pretty cool!
I wasn’t able to make the stream but I’ve put on my Hocus Pocus cat ears and some of the makeup from the latest Colourpop release! I don’t fall for every release but I had to get the whole collection for this. Halloween is life 🐈⬛🔮✨👻🎃💀 And omg giveaways would be so fun! I’ve never won anything like that in my life. Make it so their social media is in the about section, like just one. Or they can message you through IG or something. Email would probably be the best tbh bc everyone has that. They could screenshot their account with the email to you? The most I’ve won has been $25 on a scratcher, and then a $99 pillow my senior year for a raffle lol People took the flat screen TV and the tablet which were my first choices. There was even a sewing machine. I’ve never heard of gallows humor and I work in mental health too. But as long as you process your emotions and thoughts and respond with humor later, it’s a legitimate coping mechanism It’s different if you try to replace a serious emotion with humor vs. you’ve dealt with the majority of the feelings/thoughts and want to move on using humor. Also your guitar playing is fabulous Menchie was done The mom cat in that game definitely hates that she had a baby at 20, and wants a grand baby to start all over again with raising a child. I see that so much. Thank god my mom got the picture, although my dad still expects me to have kids when I get into a relationship one day lol He’ll understand later.
it makes me so happy that people are discovering this game again it’s truly one of my favorite games ever it gives me so much comfort
Let me tell you Cris, the cat mom is VERY realistic, I'm sure I'm not the only one feeling this way 🥴
Mae's psychotic break really needs to be made more clear. I agree she is not mature or sympathetic, but she has genuine memory lapses from PTSD.
I think she wants to be a good friend, but doesn't always know how. She can't read a room for shit & doesn't have the maturity to understand the extent of her friends' struggles; she hasn't had those struggles, but she has had others that effect her to be the shitty way she can be.

Edit: also she doesn't play dumb, nor she forgets because she doesn't care she has memory lapses because of ptsd
I think I like this game just because of your dubbing voice..... Your different voices are amazing.... Specially aaarrggggg 🤣🤣🤣
Cris' voice acting in this game is on point. Sometimes I forget that she's narrating lmao
Hi Simply, I want to thank you for all the content you made over the years. Had a rough year and you are really helping me in becoming myself again
Her voice for the owl sounded like Ol Gregg 😂😂
“Stop hummus shaming me” 😂😂😂
Idk if it's calming me before bed or making me even more anxious about my life (insomnia fun whoo)
Is it a Canadian thing to pronounce 'whoa' as woe-ah?
Edit: btw Cris, you can only hang out with two of the main characters per day. That is why you haven't hung out with Angus yet, bc you picked Greg and Bea first each day.
No, it’s the same in Canada, this is a Cris pronunciation. Maybe just for fun?
@@thenopedetective I guess she has her own dialect lol 😂
@@hola542 maybe regional prononciation. environnement, media and family shape the way we prononce things.
No it's just a joke referencing an earlier stream where she accidentally pronounced it Whoa-a. Since then she's said it every time haha
@@mlejb4 ah I don't think I saw that one! Thank you for filling me in, this would have haunted me lol
Omg you just made me realize I can color match my nail polish at Lowe’s to get my paint colors
Does TH-cam not have private messages anymore? I could swear it used to, I distinctly remember checking my TH-cam messages and once I received a message from a small channel I watched and I was really excited about it. When did this change??

Night in the woods is my favorite game. Bea is so amazing.
I love the voice acting, that was the best
aw I loved the rainbow fish book as a child !
Vod squad after hours here. Glad I can catch them even if I miss them live due to work.
No wonder my dreams turned into gibberish and I woke up in a sweat thinking I was having a stroke. I fell asleep to r/choosingbeggars videos and woke up an hour into this 😭😭 I thought I was dying
i feel seen in the chat! watching vod while doing a workout. i work weds afternoons so i cant join the live T-T
To the people who don't believe people don't have socials, it's a thing!! I don't have a Facebook, insta, or twitter!
3 months late to this but thats so funny. my "husband" and i have been together for 13 years and we call each other husband and wife *shrugs* it's jsut what we are to each other. honestly we dont agree with marriage only being supported by a piece of paper lol so he's my hubbs lol
