      Garbage Green was getting a lot of flak when Jan was playing it because many viewers at the time saw the game as extremely punishing for things you had no control over. The hack basically serves as his own torture chamber and a lot of people, myself included, were frustrated that he kept making it harder when he was still clearly struggling.
      Good for him and good for content, but Garbage Green felt like a game with only one solution most of the time he was playing it which is sorta counter-intuitive to the Nuzlocke experience.

    Holy shit PChal the music selecting this time was ON POINT!! Hades music made great ambiance for tough sequences, and the song choice for the E4 was perfect!!
    For anyone who doesn't know, the song at the start of the E4 is from a game called Furi, and the song is called "My Only Chance" by The Toxic Avenger

    I feel like this was Jan best format yet. Telling us the story of the winning run gives a cohesive narrative while referencing the challenges and successes he faced in other runs at that points adds context to the decisions and backstory to his mind set. It's the complete story of his winning run and the story of his multiple attempts in a perfectly balanced and comprehendable narrative.

  • @ALookInto587

    This was probably the best video yet. The Thumbnail was appealing, the intro was really nice and well made, the total supercut was well paced and the storytelling has gotten a lot better. It is really incredible to see how Jan absorbes, whatever he has seen worth in from other creators, like a sponge and then go on to make that in his own style.
    Hope he gets to evolve his content even more.

    I like seeing you play this game because instead of building one perfect team to get past a bs strategy you have to build teams to take on whole gauntlets. It makes for a lot of variation between runs and stops you from needing to restart 10 min into the run every time.
