Hey Khaz, just wanted to bring to your attention that the date in the description is off by two weeks. Not sure if it really matters but I thought you ought to know :)
Ya know how zoos will sometimes pair puppies with cheetah cubs because the dogs are more comfortable and relaxed around people and generally help the cheetahs be more calm? Jacob is the support dog chill to Julia’s cheetah energy and I love that for them
p.s. @SecretSleepoverSociety the whole 'non-controller charging' thing is a firmware issue. There's a *tiny* hole on the back of the PS5 controller that you can stick a pin or a paperclip into (next to to the sony logo with all the copyright stuff), reset the controller, pair it using a USBC cable to your PC, and it *should* charge.
Julia, if you are reading this, let me say. I used to feel like I had lost my brain, I couldnt concentrate, I cried randomly. What helped me was not powering through but reducing my workload to something my brain was capable of handling. I know you are in a position where deligating is difficult, but its not worth "just pushing through" unless you then put in place measures so you dont need to do that again. When you feel like that it is your brain telling you it needs rest. It is a impulse designed to help you, much like sleepiness, hunger or pain, and you shoudnt ignore it. This applies to any of you who are reading this. I know many people are not in positions to get as much mental rest as they should, but I think at least taking it as seriously as other needs is a good first step.
Julia talking about burnout and not being able to handle things as she gets older makes me think about when I came to my own realization on that. For me, at least, it's not that you're able to handle less, it's that you've grown up enough to learn what your limits are. It's not "why can't I work nonstop for days on end", it's "my body learned what it was like to rest and recover, and now that I know that, it's harder to go back to overworking myself." Strange how getting to a better place makes it harder to go back to absolutely wrecking your physical and mental health.
I had assumed for too long that I was very high functioning because of the assumption that accomplishing a task was the same as being able. Like "yeah it took fighting against myself and all my energy but I got it done. On an unrelated note why am I sad, anxious, and tired all the time?"
For me, it was that I had worn myself down in my younger years to the point that I couldn't properly recover from it. I'd gone past my limit so often and so far that my fuel tank is broken and can't fill up.
Lore time. Julia makes several attempts against the widely-loathed Bloody Crow of Cainhurst in this episode. His nickname and crow feather garb mark him as a former ally of Eileen the Crow, the hunter of hunters. But why does she hunt hunters? Madness is a major theme in Bloodborne. It seems like the more corrupted and beast-like people get, the more deluded they become, perceiving everyone else as a monster. Citizens will attack you while calling you a “wretched beast”, and Father Gascoigne muses about why you won’t show him your true face (shortly before transforming himself). Hunters in particular are described as “blood-drunk” and appear feral; almost every Hunter you encounter will attack on sight, and even the friendly ones are a little…overeager when they have an excuse to get violent. Eileen is unusual in that she doesn’t seem to enjoy her work at all, dispassionately eliminating characters like Henryk, Gascoigne’s old ally.
After the break, Julia explores an optional area, the Upper Cathedral Ward. This is the domain of the Choir, the Healing Church’s most powerful and secretive agents. The Choir look after the “holy medium” that was found in the catacombs and became the basis for blood ministration, and they share the School of Mensis’s interest in communicating with higher beings, although their methods differ, as we will see. It’s interesting that the key to the UCW is on a body in a cell in Yahar’ghul. The Unseen Village is the domain of the School of Mensis, who also serve the Church. Did their coexistence become a rivalry? Has Mensis’s retreat into the Nightmare caused Yahar’ghul to fall into complete chaos, or is it under new management? Is the body that holds the key a captured Choir member, or some other agent of the Church?
How could I forget? Julia also defeats Mergo’s Wet Nurse in this one. According to the umbilical cord item descriptions, the children of Great Ones tend to die, causing them to “seek a surrogate”. This provides some background for the various women that carry weird alien children - the ones we know of include Arianna, the imposter Iosefka, and the woman in white. What’s her deal, anyway? The catacombs I mentioned earlier are the remains of a civilization known as the Ptumerians. One of their monarchs was Queen Yarnham, presumably the namesake for the modern city built atop the ruins. She bore the child of a Great One named Oedon, and that child was named Mergo. When you kill Rom and dispel her illusions, Queen Yarnham appears at the lake, and from that point forward Mergo can be heard crying from anywhere in the city. His cries are silenced when you defeat the Wet Nurse, suggesting that you have killed Mergo himself as well. But why is Mergo still an infant if his mother’s civilization is in ruins? Is the life cycle of the Great Ones just very slow? Does time not pass normally in the Nightmare? In case it isn’t obvious, Miyazaki likes to keep things mysterious.
Julia has died to "The Bloody Crow of Cainhurst" 22 times so far. That's more than double any of Bloodborne's actual bosses and over half the total deaths from all bosses COMBINED! Incidentally, it's also more deaths than Granny Smith had to ANY of the bosses in her Dark Souls playthrough. Latest full Bloodborne boss death stats below: 10 - Martyr Logarius 9 - The One Reborn 6 - Shadows of Yharnam 4 - Father Gascoigne 3 - Rom, The Vacuous Spider 3 - Vicar Amelia 3 - Blood Starved Beast 3 - Micolash, Host of the Nightmare 1 - Amygdala 1 - Darkbeast Paarl 0 - Mergo's Wet Nurse 0 - Cleric Beast 0 - The Witch of Hemwick Total - 43 Average - 3.3
It also says a lot that she decided to take a break from the Bloody Crow to just one-shot what is technically the final mandatory boss of the main game!
@@theomegajuice8660 MWN gives me a weird amount of trouble depending on my build. My saif hunter absolutely destroyed it but my axe hunter had a lot of trouble. Crow, on the other hand, is always a brutal battle. Phew.
it's always interesting to me how people have more or less trouble with different bosses. Logarius and Reborn never gave me too much trouble but Rom and Paarl have wiped the floor with me lol
@@derekkrumel1407 I gave up completely with trying to beat the Bloody Crow on my first playthrough. Somehow on my most recent playthrough I one shot him and now I'll never fight him ever again because I'm staying on that high forever (sorry Eileen!)
Your Clara "This is my mom, she's 16" reminded me of a story with my daughter. I'm waiting at a bus station with her, and she's 2 or 3, and this older lady is walking down the station stairs, and my daughter shouts "THAT'S my grandma!" like she was so relieved to have found her! Except the lady was black, with african dress and headwrap and my youngest is the palest, blondest child on the planet. And there was a moment of people clearly thinking "That's unlikely... but what if she just got the whitest genes it would be rude to laugh" and then the not-Grandma started laughing so hard she almost fell down the stairs. Apparently this was the funniest thing that'd happened to her all year. Anyway something about kids declaring entirely untrue things with absolutely confidence. It just tickles me.
Sad little fun fact I’ve recently learned: right after you kill Mergo’s Wet Nurse, if you play Gascoigne’s music box, Mergo stops crying and giggles before he dies 🥲
I worked at Starbucks before the panini, and it wasn't until I stopped that I realized how bad that place was for me and how burnt out I was. I have been in the same situation as Julia feeling like I used to be able to to do more and being frustrated with myself that I just can't anymore. But i have also been Jacob with frustration at my friends not taking care of themselves in a Julia-core way.

As a parent to a 8 month old who is having a hard time sleeping (yeah, both of us) The crying baby noise was very distressing when I was watching this at night. I kept ripping off my headphones thinking it was my kid. Love y'all.
I had mini m&ms the other day because I had to run to rite-aid for some stuff and while I was at the check out counter I heard Julia's voice in my head from when she talked about them in the last VOD
Awwww, maaaan! I was NOT prepared to hear such relatable and heart-breaking work-life-balance storytime with Julia this stream! :( Even though she's several years older than me, I still feel very much like MUST PROTEEEECCC... T_T I recognize every single impulse like 'take on a task no one else seems jazzed about doing' and 'assume everything is a serious statement until told otherwise' and 'if I put myself thru a lotta pain, I'll gain just as much resiliency, right?' But I've also been in therapy for years and years, and I've learned that it's straight-up NOT TRUE that pain brings rewards. Sometimes, pain is just suffering. And sometimes, the right thing to do is ignore it. But sometimes, the right thing to do is respect it, and just fkin go to bed. And deciding which kinda day it is today, is a whole life's work... I want Julia to know that she IS fun to just BE AROUND, that she don't gotta DO anything - other than talk, maybe - to be interesting, and worthy of companionship, and even worthy of having fans throw money at her, and by extension, the whole Drawfee team! Y'all joked about having us fund your pension on some recent stream, and while I sincerely hope you are actually truly saving for retirement (plz, do it for me, I cannot yet) as a company, it's not even A QUESTION that plenty of fans WOULD sincerely show up to fund that... And part of the reason I love and respect you guys so much is that you WOULD NOT take advantage of that, you would feel SO BAD about doing that, it would prevent you from even asking! (I mean, Karina would ask, but it would be a joke, and IDK what she'd DO when people really did it, lolol) And that's the true 'good guy curse' (none of that reddit bs) - the resistance to asking for help when it is really needed, to avoid being a burden. You stand up for other people so often, Julia - I'm SURE you can learn to stand up for yourself in your own head! (encouraging emojis here) You've got so many people around you that love you, and I'm SURE they tell you ALL the time... The hardest thing in the world is believing that they're right.
Julia, I'm a VOD watcher and I'm here for the interaction between you and Jacob and sometimes Chat, lol. I put a video on usually at work but have no clue about some of the games but a few I'll try out because of your passion for it. As long as your having fun with the game, I'll be here and maybe one day I'll get off Night shift and can make a stream.
im so thankful for whoever does the subtitling on these vods because captions are super important in terms of accessibility and stuff but, god damn, ive never seen captions have so many misspellings. like multiple each vod, I dont think ive watched a single SSS vod without noticing at least one misspelling or misinterpretation, especially of in-game words/names. including many of the last bloodborne streams and even right up top on this one: "havel" instead of "hovel." its not the worst issue but its important to have accurate captions if youre going to have any. but still, goodness its great to have captions at all. a wonderful part of these streams is being able to read along with not only actually written out captions, but having them color coordinated to boot. thank you to whoever does all that hard work. I hope me pointing out the misspelling issue didnt come across as too rude or unappreciative or whatever, its just something i noticed and felt like i had to say something.
I apologize for the misspellings, I check the transcription once it's been generated for accuracy, but there's a lot of in-game words or even real life word that I'm not quite familiar with. I do appreciate people pointing them out so I can fix them. Having to finish the subtitles on top of everything else that the channel needs means that I don't get to give it as much polish as I'd want. -Khaztaroth
As someone who’s life motto is “[fool] around and find out,” I primarily use it as permission to, as Julia would phrase it, not be too precious with things. I grew up very sheltered and constantly threatened with consequences, so now that I’m an adult, I really have to reinforce the inherent fun of fooling around in order to find out 💜
I just watched a documentary about some monks who thought a grotto was inhabited by the devil because the water glows and there were some statues because it belonged to a Roman ceasar once. This video seems fitting to that mood.
@@viinaart well, the documentary is in German on Terra X. It's called "Vulcane und Geisterbäume" (Vulcans and ghost trees). The documentary wasn't specifically about the cave, but more about just cool things nature did, centered mostly around Italy. The caesar I mentioned was Tiberius Iulius Caesar Augustus and the cave ist called Grotta Azzurra. Other topics of the documentary were the cool cement romans used for the Pantheon, a half-cave with cool pillars, the Vesuvius and giant trees that don't do photosynthesis, but still grow.
Julia talking about finding words that bring out her regional accent is very relatable. My parents are from Pennsylvania and i talk mostly like them, but I was also born and raised in Maine and there are just some words and phrases that i can't say without slipping into that downeast accent
Honestly the Katana Hunter's triple shot/triple dodge combo at 18:53 was super fcking cool. But I imagine that's extremely annoying and frustrating to play against lol
Mergo's wet nurse was a boss that remember being so worried about fighting, and then i beat her in two tries, but of course I got stuck on ole marty logarius
Okay i know this is fully no one asked but... yeah nihilism being seen as negative has always kinda bugged me. The most common form of nihilism simply states that there is no grand overarching meaning to anything, which to me is the most positive viewpoint one can have. If there is some arbitrary thing enforcing meaning, then that meaning is shallow; vapid. Only by there being no objective, universal meaning can there *be* true meaning, as we're then free to craft our own. Only by things being "pointless" other than for their own merit; only by things being arbitrary; possessing only that meaning we choose to place upon them; can we be free to decide on our own values. And only by there being an end, divorced from a moral dessert, can we be liberated to simply *be.* To exist as we wish; as we decide; to try to make the world better, in whatever sense *we choose* to prioritize. Nothing matters, so everything matters as much as we decide. Everything ends, so the journey is what's important.
@@RobertIsLostInTheWires I think that's the vast majority of nihilism. Do right because you care, not because something says it's right. Listen to yourself; what your heart tells you is important; because that's all there is.
I always saw nihilism as the open ended basis on which philosophies like existentialism and nihilism use to solidify a positive spin on what can be a pretty overwhelming and depressing concept to some.
Talking about ballet dancers and feet, I will forever be recalling the time (when I was still at a children's studio for ballet) that a physical therapist came into the room and told us "you have nice feet, for dancers" They weren't wrong but even when feet are one of your biggest tools its weird to say (especially to a room of minors?)
1:14:08 Yeah, agreed with Jacob here. I usually don't actually watch these streams, cuz the content is a little too icky for me, but I love listening to yall talk about random stuff, so I love having these streams on in the background. It also gives me a way to get the plot of games like these without having to play them myself. Don't worry about the content, Julia. I'm pretty sure yall could do a Just Chatting stream and it would still do numbers.
I know I'm late to this, but I feel like 1:25:45 deserves some sort of content warning relating to infanticide or violence towards pregnant people... something like that.
It was the latest ghost trick stream BUT, hey, Julia, we appreciate you too ❤ thanks for the talented AND fun Content while also being good people I can feel comfortable supporting 😊
not that my son sounds anything like the game audio of a crying baby, but, watching the vod while my 1.5yr old naps???? 😅😅😅 parenting instincts activated
Julia talking about work and burnout and taking on more responsibilities despite having too much on your plate and having to take on tasks because no one will voluntarily do something is like looking into a goddamn mirror holy shit its awful yet incredibly validating ♡
It's Rickenbacker (because the founder changed the spelling of his name, fun fact). It's a brand of guitars (including bass guitars). Quite expensive, well-regarded ones. Their 12-string guitars in particular are pretty iconic, and were heard all over the place in the 60s. If you think if a jingly jangly tone like Turn, Turn, Turn, by the Byrds, that's a Rickenbacker 12-string you're hearing. Edit: And also i did not see this was already answered, having not refreshed. But ah well, some extra context i guess.
@@origami_dream thank you for your answer! My native language is german, so it was very confusing when I couldnt google it, because i was sure about how it should be spelled. Them changing the spelling of the name didnt come to my mind.
External out of office reply. "I am out of the office without email or phone until ____day the ___th, if this is an urgent matter that requires immediate attention contact ___." DONE.
If it actually truly does need to be done today they have notice of who to reach out to in your absence, and if it doesn't really (which is true even of many things that get presented in "this is super urgent needs to be done yesterday omg" tone because people suck that way) they know when to expect to hear back on it.
You think Arsenal fans have it bad, the nickname for members of the SomethingAwful forums is "Goons" (and has been since the forums started). My personal theory is that "gooning" got its name from some weirdbeards that got banned from SA and spread the term specifically as a form of revenge/harassment (much like what Dan Savage did with Rick Santorum), which sounds crazy, but bitter assholes who get booted from SA have gone to some pretty insane lengths to get back at the community. Hell, even 4chan got its start when people got really mad that SA's anime subforum instituted rules against sexualizing little girls and went off to make their own website (before you ask the obvious question, they just didn't think an explicit rule about that was necessary, and then it became necessary).
I feel like Julia's point of view of her struggle with an enemy as boring, not entertaining content is kinda wrong. imo people who watch souls-like content are aware of what these games are, that its journey to victory kinda the game, not results of fights. It would be pretty boring and not rewarding to just win on first attempt everytime. These games are all about learning and improving yourself, but it feels like Julia fears that she need to be perfect immediately otherwise people will boo her of stage, which is simply not true.
I genuinely did not realise that when Americans say rudebega or however it’s spelled they were talking about a goddamn turnip. I’m a whole adult how did I not know this
They can be, but that is actually incorrect, rutabega and turnip are both members of the brassica family but the former is Rapa and the latter is Napus. IIRC Begas are sweeter and Turnips have a little bit of spicyness
My experience with “fuck around and find out” is as the slogan for the Hell’s Belles TikTok series. The show itself is super healing for my religious trauma, and is very healthy. But the slogan is that way for a reason, Hellp Desk in hell will happily become violent to those who deserve it. But in retrospect, non ironically wearing that slogan (or like this for a show) is absolutely a red flag and a half
If you're a positive nihilist, Jacob, you might be either an existentialist or an absurdist. That's kinda how I describe existentialism, and why everything everywhere all at once resonated so much with me.
bruce springsteen is actually p critical of america/capitalism!!! taylor absolutely would b perfect rep for the late-stage capitalist nightmare american anthem
Jacob talking about being a positive nihilist just shows he actually understands nihilism. The philosophy specifically says that anyone who encounters nihilism and gives up and says everything is meaningless is weak willed. The point of the philosophy is that nothing has *inherent* meaning but meaning clearly exists which means we are the arbiters of meaning. Its an empowerment, not a fatalist whining that faux intellectuals pretend it is and it's always annoyed the hell out of me...

Are they playing ghost trick? Uuwuaueuuwowauuahya
if Play Around And Hang Out with a skeleton offering me a beer becomes a tpublic option i WILL be buying at minimum 2 mugs of it omg
I played this game so many times, and this is the first time I realized Mergo's Wet Nurse music is the same as the music box
As a parent to a 8 month old who is having a hard time sleeping (yeah, both of us) The crying baby noise was very distressing when I was watching this at night. I kept ripping off my headphones thinking it was my kid.
Love y'all.
awe, I know chat is just razzing Jacob, but I think he's so damn rad and funny and smart ☺ even when he says greem
Today, In episode 12 Julia learns to spell the title of the game. 👏👏👏
The greatest monster is often a dude in a church
Underrated comment lol
I had mini m&ms the other day because I had to run to rite-aid for some stuff and while I was at the check out counter I heard Julia's voice in my head from when she talked about them in the last VOD
I had some earlier today for the same reason!
Without Jacob to troubleshoot, we'd end up with another Wide Nancy. Is that what people want?
Jacob: "This might be controversial, but I just want everyone to have a nice life."
Billionaires / American Conservatists: "Oh, it's controversial!"
mergo's lullaby is so beautiful. it's a shame it's drowned out by the *swishswishswish, shwishshwishCRASH*
Pleeeeeeease make the 'play around and hang out' shirt 🙏
I want it so bad!
Awwww, maaaan! I was NOT prepared to hear such relatable and heart-breaking work-life-balance storytime with Julia this stream! :( Even though she's several years older than me, I still feel very much like MUST PROTEEEECCC... T_T
I recognize every single impulse like 'take on a task no one else seems jazzed about doing' and 'assume everything is a serious statement until told otherwise' and 'if I put myself thru a lotta pain, I'll gain just as much resiliency, right?' But I've also been in therapy for years and years, and I've learned that it's straight-up NOT TRUE that pain brings rewards. Sometimes, pain is just suffering. And sometimes, the right thing to do is ignore it. But sometimes, the right thing to do is respect it, and just fkin go to bed. And deciding which kinda day it is today, is a whole life's work...
I want Julia to know that she IS fun to just BE AROUND, that she don't gotta DO anything - other than talk, maybe - to be interesting, and worthy of companionship, and even worthy of having fans throw money at her, and by extension, the whole Drawfee team!
Y'all joked about having us fund your pension on some recent stream, and while I sincerely hope you are actually truly saving for retirement (plz, do it for me, I cannot yet) as a company, it's not even A QUESTION that plenty of fans WOULD sincerely show up to fund that... And part of the reason I love and respect you guys so much is that you WOULD NOT take advantage of that, you would feel SO BAD about doing that, it would prevent you from even asking! (I mean, Karina would ask, but it would be a joke, and IDK what she'd DO when people really did it, lolol)
And that's the true 'good guy curse' (none of that reddit bs) - the resistance to asking for help when it is really needed, to avoid being a burden. You stand up for other people so often, Julia - I'm SURE you can learn to stand up for yourself in your own head! (encouraging emojis here) You've got so many people around you that love you, and I'm SURE they tell you ALL the time... The hardest thing in the world is believing that they're right.
Julia, I'm a VOD watcher and I'm here for the interaction between you and Jacob and sometimes Chat, lol. I put a video on usually at work but have no clue about some of the games but a few I'll try out because of your passion for it. As long as your having fun with the game, I'll be here and maybe one day I'll get off Night shift and can make a stream.
I'm honestly so glad Julia didn't beat the Bloody Crow because I would have lost my goddamn mind if she blew through him like she has everything else.
'guy's i'm not good at this game it's just easy'
*Proceeded to get back to back shlorked by a mind flayer*
This dark quote from Starfox 64: "Daddy screamed real good before he died..." So messed up.
im so thankful for whoever does the subtitling on these vods because captions are super important in terms of accessibility and stuff but, god damn, ive never seen captions have so many misspellings. like multiple each vod, I dont think ive watched a single SSS vod without noticing at least one misspelling or misinterpretation, especially of in-game words/names. including many of the last bloodborne streams and even right up top on this one: "havel" instead of "hovel." its not the worst issue but its important to have accurate captions if youre going to have any. but still, goodness its great to have captions at all. a wonderful part of these streams is being able to read along with not only actually written out captions, but having them color coordinated to boot. thank you to whoever does all that hard work. I hope me pointing out the misspelling issue didnt come across as too rude or unappreciative or whatever, its just something i noticed and felt like i had to say something.
I apologize for the misspellings, I check the transcription once it's been generated for accuracy, but there's a lot of in-game words or even real life word that I'm not quite familiar with. I do appreciate people pointing them out so I can fix them. Having to finish the subtitles on top of everything else that the channel needs means that I don't get to give it as much polish as I'd want.
-Khaztaroth
Kaz did you make the start of the video quieter to then make it normal when Julia could hear again?
if so, brilliant
"I don't think anything else in the game is as hard as [Bloody Crow of Cainhurst]"
Orphan of Kos enters the chat and starts screaming
As someone who’s life motto is “[fool] around and find out,” I primarily use it as permission to, as Julia would phrase it, not be too precious with things. I grew up very sheltered and constantly threatened with consequences, so now that I’m an adult, I really have to reinforce the inherent fun of fooling around in order to find out 💜
Can confirm people will watch a losing streak, the detroit loins exist
"I think it'll be soon" Julia said, barely 40 minutes into the stream. It was a different time. We were all far more innocent back then.
I just watched a documentary about some monks who thought a grotto was inhabited by the devil because the water glows and there were some statues because it belonged to a Roman ceasar once.
This video seems fitting to that mood.
Wait what documentary, that sounds interesting
@@viinaart well, the documentary is in German on Terra X. It's called "Vulcane und Geisterbäume" (Vulcans and ghost trees).
The documentary wasn't specifically about the cave, but more about just cool things nature did, centered mostly around Italy. The caesar I mentioned was Tiberius Iulius Caesar Augustus and the cave ist called Grotta Azzurra.
Other topics of the documentary were the cool cement romans used for the Pantheon, a half-cave with cool pillars, the Vesuvius and giant trees that don't do photosynthesis, but still grow.
they do not have subtitles, unfortunately.
@@triumphaladarkshadow4388OH lmao I am actually German! Sprache also kein Problem für mich, vielen Dank!!
As someone who is also severely burned out, I identify with Julia a lot
literally just booted up the VOD to catch up and saw the alert 😅 lesgooo
*green day voice* WHEN I HYUCK AROUND
Not even 15 minutes in and this stream has already fallen into chaos 😂 Mmmm yummy tasty nonsense!
sticks and stones can break jacob's bones but chat can never hurt him
Julia talking about finding words that bring out her regional accent is very relatable. My parents are from Pennsylvania and i talk mostly like them, but I was also born and raised in Maine and there are just some words and phrases that i can't say without slipping into that downeast accent
Honestly the Katana Hunter's triple shot/triple dodge combo at 18:53 was super fcking cool. But I imagine that's extremely annoying and frustrating to play against lol
Lem with the "fuck around and find out" shirt with a sour drop on it xD
I have the same headphones and the audio slider got me too! I was SO confused for a day or two until I figured out why the audio was so low.
Mergo's wet nurse was a boss that remember being so worried about fighting, and then i beat her in two tries, but of course I got stuck on ole marty logarius
Intro is a dead ringer for Varre and I prepared my katana should he appear before me.
Okay i know this is fully no one asked but... yeah nihilism being seen as negative has always kinda bugged me. The most common form of nihilism simply states that there is no grand overarching meaning to anything, which to me is the most positive viewpoint one can have. If there is some arbitrary thing enforcing meaning, then that meaning is shallow; vapid. Only by there being no objective, universal meaning can there *be* true meaning, as we're then free to craft our own. Only by things being "pointless" other than for their own merit; only by things being arbitrary; possessing only that meaning we choose to place upon them; can we be free to decide on our own values. And only by there being an end, divorced from a moral dessert, can we be liberated to simply *be.* To exist as we wish; as we decide; to try to make the world better, in whatever sense *we choose* to prioritize. Nothing matters, so everything matters as much as we decide. Everything ends, so the journey is what's important.
I've always preferred the nihilism that says "Nothing matters, so do right by others anyway."
@@RobertIsLostInTheWires I think that's the vast majority of nihilism. Do right because you care, not because something says it's right. Listen to yourself; what your heart tells you is important; because that's all there is.
I always saw nihilism as the open ended basis on which philosophies like existentialism and nihilism use to solidify a positive spin on what can be a pretty overwhelming and depressing concept to some.
I missed the first hour of this stream live and the best intro of the series. gd I love these silly dumdums.
Talking about ballet dancers and feet, I will forever be recalling the time (when I was still at a children's studio for ballet) that a physical therapist came into the room and told us "you have nice feet, for dancers"
They weren't wrong but even when feet are one of your biggest tools its weird to say (especially to a room of minors?)
I beat Bloodborne 3 times and Sekiro 5 times and I gotta say, Julia is still having a better time with some of these bosses than I do, lmao.
I need a cartoon of strong Jacob fixing everything for drawfee crew
1:14:08 Yeah, agreed with Jacob here. I usually don't actually watch these streams, cuz the content is a little too icky for me, but I love listening to yall talk about random stuff, so I love having these streams on in the background. It also gives me a way to get the plot of games like these without having to play them myself. Don't worry about the content, Julia. I'm pretty sure yall could do a Just Chatting stream and it would still do numbers.
I know I'm late to this, but I feel like 1:25:45 deserves some sort of content warning relating to infanticide or violence towards pregnant people... something like that.
It was the latest ghost trick stream BUT, hey, Julia, we appreciate you too ❤ thanks for the talented AND fun Content while also being good people I can feel comfortable supporting 😊
Hyuck around and find out Mickey I sure will
DA PAPA GASCO-EENE'
this is how i learn that the in the jorking peanits in the stripped club post has breached containment and is now known outside tumblr
As someone who used to do ballet, can confirm, my feet are ruined for life
1:01:56 “rest is for the weak” shirt
Jesus Christ its Jason Bloodbourne!
squid fetus. squeetus.
not that my son sounds anything like the game audio of a crying baby, but, watching the vod while my 1.5yr old naps???? 😅😅😅 parenting instincts activated
Julia talking about work and burnout and taking on more responsibilities despite having too much on your plate and having to take on tasks because no one will voluntarily do something is like looking into a goddamn mirror holy shit its awful yet incredibly validating ♡
Also therapy. Therapy helps so fucking much. Everyone should be able to have mental health care ♡
The play around and hang out shirt with the skeleton is desharezone coded
As a non English speaker i would like to know what a rickenbacher/reichenbacher is (dunno how its spelled).
I tried guessing but i couldnt google it.
Rickenbacker is a brand of guitars, you can faintly see it to his left (our right).
-Khaztaroth
@@SecretSleepoverSociety thank you for the answer!
It's Rickenbacker (because the founder changed the spelling of his name, fun fact). It's a brand of guitars (including bass guitars). Quite expensive, well-regarded ones. Their 12-string guitars in particular are pretty iconic, and were heard all over the place in the 60s. If you think if a jingly jangly tone like Turn, Turn, Turn, by the Byrds, that's a Rickenbacker 12-string you're hearing.
Edit: And also i did not see this was already answered, having not refreshed. But ah well, some extra context i guess.
@@origami_dream thank you for your answer!
My native language is german, so it was very confusing when I couldnt google it, because i was sure about how it should be spelled. Them changing the spelling of the name didnt come to my mind.
14:11 Similar situation; Depending on the outlet I have my PS5 controller plugged in, it will charge in one, but not the other. I have no idea why.
Just the random mention of having a 12 string guitar sitting on the side was really funny to me.
External out of office reply. "I am out of the office without email or phone until ____day the ___th, if this is an urgent matter that requires immediate attention contact ___." DONE.
If it actually truly does need to be done today they have notice of who to reach out to in your absence, and if it doesn't really (which is true even of many things that get presented in "this is super urgent needs to be done yesterday omg" tone because people suck that way) they know when to expect to hear back on it.
Love that Julia has just now discovered the e in bloodborne that’s my pro gamer right there
I see Jar Jar Binks
The last straw was the crying baby. My dog was too concerned 😂
The" jorking it" post reads like something they might have come up with playing Job Job
it's not easy being greem, Jacob
Alright Jacob now lose it
Just lose it
Go crazy
Oh baby
Oh baby baby
You think Arsenal fans have it bad, the nickname for members of the SomethingAwful forums is "Goons" (and has been since the forums started). My personal theory is that "gooning" got its name from some weirdbeards that got banned from SA and spread the term specifically as a form of revenge/harassment (much like what Dan Savage did with Rick Santorum), which sounds crazy, but bitter assholes who get booted from SA have gone to some pretty insane lengths to get back at the community. Hell, even 4chan got its start when people got really mad that SA's anime subforum instituted rules against sexualizing little girls and went off to make their own website (before you ask the obvious question, they just didn't think an explicit rule about that was necessary, and then it became necessary).
Julia is not immune to recency bias
cant believe i actually managed to click 1 min after posting omg
Hi, I just completely lost it at that Large Margin joke 1:03:00
I feel like Julia's point of view of her struggle with an enemy as boring, not entertaining content is kinda wrong. imo people who watch souls-like content are aware of what these games are, that its journey to victory kinda the game, not results of fights. It would be pretty boring and not rewarding to just win on first attempt everytime. These games are all about learning and improving yourself, but it feels like Julia fears that she need to be perfect immediately otherwise people will boo her of stage, which is simply not true.
I genuinely did not realise that when Americans say rudebega or however it’s spelled they were talking about a goddamn turnip. I’m a whole adult how did I not know this
They can be, but that is actually incorrect, rutabega and turnip are both members of the brassica family but the former is Rapa and the latter is Napus. IIRC Begas are sweeter and Turnips have a little bit of spicyness
The correct answer is "Play around and learn something new!"
"F**k around and find out" but the shirt has Karina's Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd drawing.
Possible merch idea for drawfee? 🤔
My experience with “fuck around and find out” is as the slogan for the Hell’s Belles TikTok series. The show itself is super healing for my religious trauma, and is very healthy. But the slogan is that way for a reason, Hellp Desk in hell will happily become violent to those who deserve it. But in retrospect, non ironically wearing that slogan (or like this for a show) is absolutely a red flag and a half
its really crazy how easy mergo's wet nurse is.. like u guys aren't wrong she is so easy, especially after fighting the stupid bloody crow....
If you're a positive nihilist, Jacob, you might be either an existentialist or an absurdist. That's kinda how I describe existentialism, and why everything everywhere all at once resonated so much with me.
bruce springsteen is actually p critical of america/capitalism!!! taylor absolutely would b perfect rep for the late-stage capitalist nightmare american anthem
This guy was the hardest thing for me
They’re back owo
Clara sounds like such a sweet little lady
Jacob talking about being a positive nihilist just shows he actually understands nihilism. The philosophy specifically says that anyone who encounters nihilism and gives up and says everything is meaningless is weak willed. The point of the philosophy is that nothing has *inherent* meaning but meaning clearly exists which means we are the arbiters of meaning. Its an empowerment, not a fatalist whining that faux intellectuals pretend it is and it's always annoyed the hell out of me...
Funk around and jive out
What about mathlete's foot?
So-called “crab souls” was a disappointment to me because it was very much more “elden crab”
