That fear of a stranger running up and punching you in the face actually happened to me, I was on a walk and got mistaken for someone that this group of lads had beef with so they ran up behind me, suckerpunched me in the back of the head, then apologised like fuck when I turned around and they copped on I was the wrong fella.
The embarrassment of calling out to a stranger you mistook for an acquaintance can be crippling, I cannot imagine the feeling of surprise-punching your enemy in the back of their dumb head just to realize they're actually an innocent stranger...
I do hope that if he does play it, John wouldn't call it with one ore two endings cause it's quite easy to get a quick ending in that game. At the very least he should play until Detective Yu is introduced.
I never played Who's Lila but I did watch the 7 hours and 20 minute deep analysis of it which probably took a lot longer. What an amazing game that I probably will never have the patience to get through on my own, especially not figuring out every little thing there is to know about it.
After having watches this video, I discussed 'This is not your house' with my GF and realized that it's about the horror of the things conservatives fear: breaking down of property rights, being imprisoned for self-defense, and so on. This is further reinforced by how Roger is prepared for attacks at the start like someone who watches much too much Fox News. Which comes off to me as a reminder of the absurdity of taking such fears that far despite the theme of the game inducing empathy towards people having such fears.
It's insane how she isn't even a murderous monster from the looks of it, she's simply using her supernatural powers to completely finesse a single man and that's hilarious
I swore that story of the guy running across the main road was gonna end with "I'm sorry! Are you Super Eyepatch Wolf?!". Not sure if it'd still end with a punch or not haha
People do this, a lot of “sovereign citizens” will lie about owning a house, get the locks changed, and then pretend they are the owners of the house. Edit: They aren't, you know, eldritch abominations or anything, but terrifying nonetheless.
This game really reminds me of the plot of "Like mother used to make" by Shirley Jackson. You've probably heard of it since you mentioned the Lottery and her other works before.
Getting randomly socked in the face is just so weird. It should hurt, hell it DOES hurt, but the "lol why? did that just happen? are they fuckin serious?" of it is very distracting and completely dulls it. You bump your head on a cupboard door or something unexpected like that and it's the worst thing ever, because there is nothing to distract from it.
John just has supernatural energy surrounding him. First he manifests a scenario where he gets punched in the face. Next I predict that he’ll have a run-in with a demonic cult.
That madman nearly getting Frogger'd crossing the road, only to smack you when he found out you didn't have a light, is the craziest instance of exposure therapy I've ever heard of. It sounds like a Mandalore story, but it happened thousands of miles away from the Realm of Chaos that is Arkalina. As for the artist in It Paints Me, I identify with that pain. Partly because writing physically is something that hurts after too long, and partly because, even though I have many things that I want to commit to text (one funnily enough involving a young painter), something keeps me from tapping out more than a paragraph. Beyond the allure of other distractions, of course. I have more time on my hands than I've had in a long time, ample time to write and perhaps even learn to make a game, but there's something indescribable that stays my hand. Even when I power off the machine during peak energy times, I can only jot down a few sentences on my notepad before my mind tries to convince me to do something else, anything else, even if there aren't many options. What's worse is that I love writing stories. Even with all the temptations pulling me away, even with that invisible hand that stays my fingers, I want to take these ideas and weave them into stories. Hell, I once wrote a lengthy Undertale fanfic over the course of three years, and for five years after that I was working on a continuation. But now? Now I can barely pen anything, despite having more ideas than ever! I need to find that thing that stays my hand, and I need to smash its head into the wall until it can no longer hold me back. Yes, I made DoctorTale back when I was in my mid-twenties, but I'll be damned if I'm going to let being 32 be what holds me back. If I have to drink more coffee, more than my single morning cup, then so be it. If the reason I fell off was because of long covid symptoms, I need to find a potion to unfuck whatever brain-fog it may have cursed me with.
Hey. Just on the fear of someone running up and punching you in the face thing. This is a bit of a mad one, but I think you’re about the right age for the Happy slapping phenomenon? This may just be a UK thing, and I’m not even sure if it ever made its way across to Ireland at all, or maybe you saw it on the news, but in like the early to mid-2000s there was a trend called happy slapping where people would essentially run up on someone and hit them while filming. It definitely happened, although i think there was a bit of a moral panic about it at the time, and if it was on the news here in the UK, for sure I bet an Irish news thing picked up, one of them “new teen trend is hurting kids” things. I don’t know, as soon as you said that I thought “no this was definitely a thing when were at school”
I had an almost similar experience as John. Growing up I used to get jumped by the local gang all the time all because one time I defended myself so I would regularly be jumped by a group of cunts. This developed into me having massive paranoia when I was out and about and hanging with friends. If I walking somewhere and I seen someone miles up the street wearing a Berghaus Merapeak jacket, I would literally go miles out of my way in an attempt to avoid them. Then one day walking home from a friends, we got pulled up by these guys who started chatting away all fine when out of the blue one of them swung at me, I thought he was just attempting to punch me until I felt blood dripping down my neck, he had a knife and had slashed my jaw. They chased us, slashing at us ripping our jackets etc but we got away. After that night though for some reason, all my paranoia left me. I was never worried walking about anywhere, for some reason I became alot more confident walking about.
Fear of a stranger running up and punching you... but that kind of already happened to John but instead of a punch it was a little girl choking him out
So, when you were telling your story about the maniac that ran across the road in heavy traffic just to eventually punch you, the funniest thing happened. Your story was interrupted by a pet medication delivery service (thanks UA-cam, I genuinely mean it here). So the audio I heard was: "So his friends run up and grab him and are like FUCK (Cmmercial interrupts)-- Pets. They love going to get it". I laughed real hard and my coworkers turned to look at me like I was insane. UA-cam: what impeccable timing!
If I remember right, that was a guy who punched me in school. a bunch of people were making fun of him, and I was laughing, so he punched me, rather than the people making fun of him. I stood up, looked at him, and he ran away. it was so weird. i think i was smaller than the other guys, so thats why he did it.

I mean...it's not capitalist fears, it's what socialists with little or no power explicitly say in public and generally do practice when in power. In America we don't fear leftist radicals of any flavor, because as the last election season shows, they can't shoot for shit. 😂
@@alliepending446 It honestly makes me recall the kind of Cautionary tales from European Folklore regarding the Fae. When the Unseelie wanna fuck with you, they're just gonna fuck with you

I get that. I had someone ask me for change. When I said I didn’t have any he punched me in the face then walked off like nothing happened :/

Sue $$$ fuck em
I don’t know why the shed has a massive “SHED” written on it, but now I’m upset that the house doesn’t have the appropriate “HOUSE” label.
I think "this is not your house" definitely seems worth its own stream. he missed all the best/most interesting endings
That whole story about the stranger running up and punching you is weird to me, because that's just what I assumed it's like to live in Ireland
You should definitely play Who's Lila next
Was 100% going to recommend this
I do hope that if he does play it, John wouldn't call it with one ore two endings cause it's quite easy to get a quick ending in that game. At the very least he should play until Detective Yu is introduced.
John would absolutely love Who's Lila
I never played Who's Lila but I did watch the 7 hours and 20 minute deep analysis of it which probably took a lot longer. What an amazing game that I probably will never have the patience to get through on my own, especially not figuring out every little thing there is to know about it.

I need to read more of her stuff. I've only read Haunting of Hill House and it's a beautiful read.
Poor Roger. Just wanted to eat his rotisserie chicken in his own home.
I see that hair and hear “Where are you??? And I am so sorry!!” 😅
The first game feels straight from an episode of the Magnus Archives. I love it
Yeah! I agree, it has The Stranger mixed with a bit of The Spiral vibes. Really makes me want a series of TMA inspired short horror games.
You really need to play Still Wakes the Deep, Yuppie Psycho and Fear the Spotlight.
Yuppie Psycho would be amazing. Such an underrated game
John played Fear the Spotlight. He just hasn't finished it because he played it in a Ghostober stream.
Getting randomly socked in the face is just so weird.

It Paints Me is fucking sick, right up my alley in aesthetics
has John ever went out to get Milk Inside a Bag of Milk Inside a Bag of Milk before? it doesn't take that long to do and i'd love to watch him do it!

The funniest thing ever is that BJJ guys will always find a way to let you know that they do BJJ
John you have the craziest life stories fr. You could make a successful channel or podcast out of those alone

That second game feels very reminiscent of the poem Porphyria's Lover.

Have you played Who's Lila yet?
There's a lot of good ending variety in that first game.
6:30 wait, you had a similar story from when you were hit in the face by someone as a teen.
If I remember right, that was a guy who punched me in school. a bunch of people were making fun of him, and I was laughing, so he punched me, rather than the people making fun of him.

I've never clicked on a video faster omfg
i love your pfp! is that a picrew or something or did you draw that?
@spaghettipersonhello it's a dolldivine by an artist called ummmandy, you should be able to find it on Google with that info
The silent hill music is on point for the hair, since it's basically James Sunderland length.
Or Leon Kennedy.
Thank you pretzel buddy.

Oh I saw manlybadasshero play this - I know this is up your alley I’m so hyped to watch this while I eat dinner lol
Is it just me, or does Roger look like a melted Mark Wahlberg...
Super-emo-wolf
So your true fear of someone punching you was realized, but by a girlboss of the little girls suddenly choking you out.
