OH ITS LIKE THE CRITICAL ROLE GUY - WHAT THE HELL IS HIS NAME?
QUEER VERSION.
@@acowinthebarn3312 Flando! Yes that was exact intention! I'm slowly making my way through the other streams (Q&As and BG3 sessions) I'm aiming to have all of the rest done by Sunday's stream, so I can keep this up weekly. This is my show of appreciation to the community!
hi its ALI -that's not my name -ONA, I wanted to say THANK YOU for this! and also It Takes Two is the game we chose and we're loving it!!!
me again, just read the entire list and LMAO this is brilliant. particularly liked the IKEA shopping segment. will keep in mind about Produce Flame and tell Jen off for talking to Gale first! thanks again :)
The chat near the beginning of this video really reinforced why I love watching the two of you stream together. The stuff about promoting the streamily prints and cameo versus impulse control for spending money proved how cognizant you are about your position and influence, and I think that is great. Also really impressed with how well you guys have handled the learning curve of this game and the PS5 in general. I know I struggled.
I think it's especially impressive considering they're quite new to both DnD and video games. I'm an experienced hand at both and it took me a fair bit to get ahold of the system on PC.
I saw a short UA-cam clip, today, of Shadowheart doing a polite little clap after Corinna finished her dancing.....& all I could think was "well of course she's clapping, that's her girlfriend performing!" 😉 Made me smile so much 🙂
I thought there was nothing more romantic than a showmance, but a video-game-mance is so sweet to see! My little queer heart glows when I see you two stream together.
Suggestion for the audio echo: one set of bluetooth earbuds, share the pair so you both have the game in one ear but can still hear each other. If Aliona puts the earbud in her right ear, it might help the same way an earplug does so Jen doesn't seem quite as loud.
the bg3 cast is like a star trek cast. you just love them all. great characters and great people
Poor Aliona getting teased by chat 🤣 although between that and Jen's dark urge awakening this is set up to be a very exciting and memorable playthrough!
I love you guys for doing these. Although, Jen, you made me crush SO HARD on Shadowheart... I was playing Zelda the other day, walking somewhere as I got attacked by two wolves. My brain went: "damn! Should've gone around them, Shadowheart is afraid of wolves!"
This is more entertaining and brings more emotions, plus brighter ones than highest grossing movies. The game itself sure is one of the reasons, but personally i would watch this couple do literally anything. The sweetest and most adorable content I've ever watched (nice moment with the door and with ShadowUrge "Hey, you're on camera"))
Another game you should try is Outer Wilds, It's the game I recommend to everyone I know. It's kind of a space archeology game. Your solar system is covered in ruins from aliens that disappeared ages ago, and you play as the first astronaut with a translator tool able to read the text they left behind. The game is mostly about finding bits of information and piecing together the story of the solar system, so being good at playing the game isn't that important (though you will crash your ship/ die often, that's also part of the game). It has a really chill camping 'roasting marshmallows on the moon' atmosphere, with the unforgiving deadly forces of nature mixed in to keep things interesting. There is no fighting at all in the game, it's very pacifist friendly. All of the progression in Outer Wilds is based on what you have learned, so it's really vulnerable to being spoiled and not a game where you would want chat telling you what to do. It's really a one of a kind experience that I think everyone should play
That game is amazing!!!! Absolutely one of the best. Note to anyone reading, it’s Outer *Wilds* op is talking about, not Outer *Worlds*, a different less good game. I used to constantly mess that up >_>
Loved seeing you guys pop into Dev’s stream 😂 this is the best fandom to be in
Leavng a comment so the UA-cam algo adds it to the engagement count.
Inserting positive words incluiding nice, good, great, etc.
interacting to help the algo further!!
the open discussions about mental health are so real
Guidance is just another reason why Shadowheart is the most important character in the game 🙂
Also, hi Aliona! I don't know if people told you this before (they probably have, but just in case), you can absolutely toggle the Non-Lethal mode on and leave it on for the whole game. It should be in your radial menu, the one you access by pressing R1 and L1 (I believe the difference between pressing one or the other is the type of radial you open up first, L1 being the combat radial and R1 the actions radial - you should be able to switch between the two once they're open anyway). The icon looks like a tilted head with a hammer above it. That way, when you zero someone's hit points (aka their life), they stay on 1 HP instead and be stunned/passed out.
However! This only applies to MELEE attacks, not ranged or area attacks. You can use ranged and area attacks to lower your target HP, but in order to not kill them you have to make sure you zero their HP with a melee attack (it can be with any type of melee weapon and with unarmed attacks). ALSO! If you previously hit them with any type of damage that causes an effect which is dealt in more turns (example: poison damage, that deals some hits for a few rounds), OR if you or anything in the area hits them once they're down (example: something exploding), they WILL die. NPCs cannot be revived, only companions, so that cannot be undone.
To recap: toggle Non-Lethal mode and be careful about the type of damage you're doing when your target is close to zero HP. Have fun!!!
So much positivity! Heartwarming!
I’m a bit late to the party but just about caught up watching your streams. You 2 are a joy to watch, hopefully I can catch you live eventually!
It is so amazing seeing all the voice actors playing this game and being fascinated by it.
Its such a pleasure watching you both learn the game! I was in a similar position at the beginning and now 100 hours in Im like a pro! Yall are doing great!
You guys should definitely try it takes two! It's a really fun coop game that you can dip in and out of whenever you have time
we bought it after all the recs! we're loving it!!
@@JenandAliona it takes two is an amazing game! are u guys planning on streaming it or wanna enjoy it on your own?
@@JenandAlionaah cool! I just recommended it too lmao. It’s so great
Another great coop game is KeyWe
"Jen, did I kill her?"
"No. Can you heal me?"
oh yesssssss!!!!! i will catch you live one of these days! we support Durge Jen
Obviously everyone resembles their characters in some way, but you and Neil especially so.
It must be weird seeing so much of yourself translated to a digital character
Especially since Shadowhearts real name is Jenevelle, which her parents shortened to Jen 😢
hahahah so cute, you guys are always somehow dino dancing every stream
Hi from Bristol guys! Thank you both for being such wonderful queer representation. I felt my heart do a thing when I learnt Jen was queer (visibly and wonderfully and proud to be queer!). And then my heart did another thing when I learnt Aliona (clear, consistent, empathetic movement direction!) was your partner! Me and my partner met doing theatre together, we teched an Ibsen play together way back in our first year of uni.
So recs: my partner was very new to gaming and PS controllers when they first started playing. We can highly recommend Spiritfarer, if you want a game to play co op together. Its a cosy resource management, platforming game about death: adorable art, lovely music, and a queer storyline for at least one of the characters. Its also sweetly hilarious and quite shamelessly left wing in its politics.
Don't really know enough about your gaming taste aha! I hope you find games you enjoy both together and individually. Thank you for being so engaged with the dnd/bg3 community- your obvious delight and almost relief, in finding it to be (mostly) wholesome and creative and respectful is beautiful to see!
I could watch you two stream all day. You're both so hilarious & adorable 🙂
caught the livestream but just wanted to comment that the thumbnail for this video made me laugh so hard 😂Viva la Jen's beef era!
Hi guys I love you both so much ❤️ You're both so real. If only Shadowheart was real too 😭
really enjoying these streams it’s very fun to watch you guys play
Thats our beloved Shadowheart!! Love you two streaming together!
super cool seeing you together- a great team
@alionabaranova1 - You genuinely feel bad killing these people who are just rival tomb raiders and I totally get that. If you set your "passives" option for non-lethal damage and hit them with a weapon, it will just knock them out. Magic attacks and ranged attacks are still deadly though, so keep that in mind. I think it's sweet of you to play your conscious. One of the great thinks about D&D is you get to do things your way, and in this case there IS an option for you, it just adds a bit more challenge. It will be more personally rewarding, though.
This mixes the vibe of finding gaming with friends as a kid and a wholesome queer reationship. Love it
Must I am loving the interaction between the two of you. It's rather fun.
Beef era's shaping up to be wild!
Gameplay recommendation: Not sure you'd love the gameplay, but Portal 2 has some of the best writing/voice acting I've ever heard, so you might like it!
11:55 I understood "We want Halsin love". Well, that one is quite wholesome, too :D
I can't wait for you guys to find Karlach!
You guys are doing way better with controllers than I ever could. Hence why I prefer Mouse & Keyboard.
If youre looking for interesting games to play (whether you stream them or not) then id recommend Return of the Obra Dinn, Hades, and Untitled Goose Game. Obra Dinn and Goose Game are pretty easy to get a grasp on and are puzzle based and Hades though it can be a little hard has a mode that makes it slightly easier after every loss which you can turn on or off at anytime. Hades has a really wonderful story, Goose game is really cute, and Return of the Obra Dinn is a really neat period puzzle game that is the best of the entire genre. Love the stream, you both are really fun to watch. Cant wait to see how your run through BG3 shapes up.
Durge Jen will rise! No squirrel kicking btw❤
Once again a great video. Don't worry about how fast you are picking it up, you're doing great. As for any argumentative comments, sorry friends that's the internet. Someone is always trying to make someone mad. Just remember those are going to be the minority and not the majority. Though it's usually a very loud minority. Love the positivity.
Also I gotta say I only play the PC version of the game and the PS5 looks wayyyyy harder to me. Mostly because I wonder where they put all those buttons. So yeah, feel good, and keep up the good work.
Y’all are doing great!!
It's lovely to see you two are enjoying the game, you're a joy to watch honestly☺ But also i got a question, you mentioned you'll be at comicon in london by the end of the month, will you be there for the whole 3 days or only in a specific day? Because im thinking about going and i'd love to meet you if i got the chance👉👈 Anyway, i hope you have a fantastic week, much love
1:15:24 I LOVE Aliona's smile everytime when she made something happen❤
"shh, shut up, I'm listening to you speak" 🤣😅
Good to see you again !
I've got kind of a silly question but I am JENuinely curious about it. It's a spoiler so I'll put it under the read more.
You guys are amazing btw
yes it was on purpose :)
Love your streams!
If no one has told you yet, the approval message on the upper left corner is being covered by the PSN ID. I don't have a PS5 so hopefully someone can tell you guys how to turn it off so you can see the approval notices.
Looking forward to more streams and congratulations on making affiliate!
Vampire Survivors is a good straightforward splitscreen game. It's got co-op now too.
As a tiny 5'2'' woman, I also think it's nice to meet people as short as I am :'D
How did they fuck up Shart that badly in the beginning of the game lmao she was being so nice to my character right from the start :0
OMGGGG HER VOICEEEEEEE
I love watching these two learn how to play, and being so excited about everything
5:44 The irony 😄
Couples who play games together, Stay Together 😄😄😄👑
I've played for 145h and I'm at the end of act 2. Now I'm a slow player as well, love taking my time and immerse my self in a game. I would expect my total time with the entire game to be around 300h so maybe yours will be double that xD.
"She's fine. She's having a nap" made me spit out my coffee/
man as someone who plays on my laptop these ps5 controls seem super confusing
I agree. As much as Jennifer and Aliona may mock their grasp of the game & its control scheme, the fact that they've come this far on PS5 controls is actually quite remarkable to me.....far better than I'd probably manage it.
Aliona to chat: I got my eyes on you.
Me: Ohm, Chat's in trouble lol.
I’m now giddy 🎉🎉 lgbtq + adhd and voice actors streaming there games . Now my new fixation ❤😆😆😆
I reckon I do go into autopilot when I’ve got someone else to lead to wherever we’re going irl haha
Seeing you guys avoid chat interactions because you think you know whats gonna happen is very annoying but besides that, i love it❤
love getting adhd information from you guys! recently saw the head wiggle artwork. i don't get it can you guys show us what you mean? cheers love the streams!
I'm sometimes on a more cynical wavelength, but I must say I love the positivity you both bring. It made me quite happy today!
Open ear Bluetooth headphones. e.g. Shokz brand headphones. You can hear eachother and the game.
I'm behind on watching these streams and even though I know there's a bunch more so supposedly she survives the night (are we sure it's her in the later streams?), I can't help but be worried for Aliona! I don't even know the emergency number in England!
I think this is the least serious and most entertaining playthrough of anything I've ever watched, and it is definitely the gayest. 10/10 would reccomend
Just a heads up, since Jenn said she liked the Spiro games, and is probably not up to date on gaming news:
They did remake the Spyro trilogy a number of years ago, so it should be available on current consoles(?)
Same game, just better (significantly) graphics, might be worth a look
Yo I'm 1,53m a.k.a. 5 feet! I also get excited to meet people my height or shorter than me bc we relate a lot + it's rare to talk to anyone without looking up!
Liona or Ona would be a more fitting nickname for Aliona not Ali . Also really impressed with how well you guys have handled the learning curve of this game and the PS5 in general, I am struggling with BG3 on my PC let alone on PS5 and I am a gamer for 20 years now. Also should I say you two are the best?
40:42 SO THATS WHY I DO THAT?? i never knew that was also cause of my adhd lolol
How does one find out when they will be streaming? Does that require having the social media formally known as twitter? I couldn't find an actual twitch thing to follow.
we're streaming this Sunday 5pm BST!
it should say in our schedule on twitch.tv/jenniferjenglish
Ha, I think I was looking for a twitch handle under your name.
oh my god
"why can't we just be friends?"
"UGH."
I've been enjoying the playthrough. Could you put the part number in the title? It'll make finding them easier in the future.
there's a character limit for the title, we can't fit part numbers in! does the thumbnail not help?
@@JenandAliona It's easy to find a specific video atm, but if you'd put the number in the title it would be easier to search them up in the future.
Are the loop earplugs good? I've been considering a pair for ages and I wasn't sure if they'd be worth it, especially for sleeping in
they're great but not for sleeping in! more for navigating busy places. although it can be hard to hear someone ur having a convo with so I wear them when I dont need to chat to anyone. or only wear one
“A-door-able” hahahahhaa
You think squirrels sound crazy, you should listen to Koala Mating Calls. Wouldn't think that such sounds could emanate from such a placid animal 😉
googling this now!
did you say padam? what is padam?
South Africa just has brown squirrels
I LOVE YOU BOTH uWu
Aliona & Jen if you had to fight yourself to the death, how would you win

❤
2:25 you two are the same person
Вот так дела! Девушка у Шадоухарт с русским именем.
BEEF ERA ENGAGE
is jen calling you "bae" or "bear"
bear :) its what we call each other (unrelated to that scene...)
@@JenandAliona I'm gonna CRY
1:48:00 haha
I get the impression that Shadowheart is naturally inclined to cold blooded murder much like the Dark Urge so it wouldn't be too weird if she went in that direction.
I think it’s the opposite, shadowheart is naturally a good person she was just brainwashed
@@JordanJumpin I watched her murder Lae'zel in the most cold-blooded brutal way possible. It feels like if you just let Shadowheart be Shadowheart heart, she will do some really evil things. Also, if you play as her origin, you will get a lot of special "Cleric of Shar" dialogue options that are almost always super mean, some of which will provoke NPCs into combat. Choosing the Cleric of Shar responses seems like a great idea if you want to be a murder hobo and if you are playing as Shadowheart, why wouldn't you want to choose her unique dialogue options?
Definitely the opposite. Shadowheart approves everytime you help someone or make what would generally be considered the morally right choice. Even from the beginning of the game, her kind nature shines through the facade she puts on. This is proven especially during the party in camp with her reaction to what you choose between saving or massacring the Tiefling refugees.
@@MistyKathrineon situation in camp - if you fail persuasion check it’s literally either her or Lae’Zel. And when you play as Shadowheart it’s silly to say she’s evil because you control her! It’s your actions! [Shar] options there so you could have roleplay as Shar cleric if you want to. Sad thing is - you get to know originals more if you don’t play them, but with them.
@@patrioticbat She gives +1 approval for helping people and +10 for letting her kill Lae'zel and another +10 for telling her that you trust her decision for killing Lae'zel. Her evil decisions improve her approval MUCH faster than good decisions.
If you have the party with the Goblins after killing the Tieflings and read her mind the narrator will tell you: "She's killed before, enjoyed it even".
Her main problem might actually be the fact that by siding with the goblins, you shut off any possibility of getting help from Halsin, something that was very important to her. If you don't recruit her until you meet her at the druid grove, she will literally mention Halsin and how you have to find him as he's the best way to get help for the tadpoles.
Aliona, blink twice if you need help
I gotta say, Dev'Zel is a better gamer. Just facts, sorry :)
hi everyone! thank you for being so lovely and supportive of our gaming/streaming adventures!!
❗*Could u please thumbs UP this comment if ur happy with chat ON screen & thumbs DOWN if you want it OFF screen*❗
it would be helpful for us to know! thank you 🤍
Does it overlay your gameplay as well? Hopefully not hiding helpful information. For example, I noticed on the nautiloid that the chat covered the number of turns left to complete the fight.
@@tungsten18384 it does but we shift it around if the chat tells us it's blocking something important (tbh for us its easier on screen, but wanna check in with people watching on YT)
@@JenandAliona Gotcha. Thumbs up then, appreciate the context.
this series is for the queers and for the queers only and i love it
I gotta say though as a straight guy I feel that these guys are kinda couple goals ngl
Not really.. its for anyone :)
It's for everyone (except bigots).
What kind of logic is that? So if straights are playing it its only for them?
Odd comment
Please...please...read the chat
They are, but they can't possibly see everything... they are talking, playing and reading chat.
2:05 That's just passive queerphobia. They assume you're "roommates" and are secret about your love life because the idea that you're not straight is unfathomable to them. They are probably mad that their "waifu" is played by someone who dates other women.
"Passive queerphobia".... You sound fun..
@@sasonzzIt's always fascinating to see the types of people that get upset by words like that occupy spaces like these
you're literally just thinking of ways to be offended. The majority of people loved both Shodowheart and Jen becuase of who they are and not becuase of their sexuality.
Bad ideals
No wonder it's a heavy woke game, it just couldn't be any other way considering it was made by a huge LGBT gang. What a shameful time we live in, poor Baldur's Gate franchise.😢
you're welcome as an ally in the future ❤️🌈
