Speaking of trigger warnings: You know someone is triggered right now for being told they shouldn't make fun of bald people... It's so common right now to body shame about that and suddenly Miss Perfect and Mr Goodgenes are wrong??? Yes. Yes you are.
I was really happy when it first was mentioned on Drawfee, and when it gained traction, because that had been one of the standouts of the old testament for me for years, and since most people I know are more or less normal and haven't read the bible (I should say bibleS) back to front a number of times out of sheer curiosity, there was no one in my life to share that utter insanity with.
I'm in some atheist circles, so even if "go up, baldy" isn't specifically a meme, we ALL know about the "bears kill kids for making fun of a bald man" story.
I’m a terrible gen z-er and often forget memes and slang terms, and I asked my friend about “go up baldie” assuming it was a whole internet meme that I was missing and they were super confused, so yeah, a little embarrassing
Jacob's "enter into a new challenge with a comedic level of confidence instead of going in thinking you're going to fail" is, for people like me, actually great advice. I deal with a lot of my insecurities with humor, and I've found that if I'm "in on the joke", being jokingly confident can lead to just being *actually* confident and kind to myself.
A fun note about the localization: They're only called "One Third of Umbilical Cord" in the American version. In other versions, it's just "Third Umbilical Cord". Some speculate that they're actually intended to be whole umbilical cords, from the fourth generation of Great Ones (the third generation after the first). Also, there are four of them in the game, and any three will work, so it can't be 3/3 of the same cord.
Ok, lore time. In this stream, Julia explores the forsaken Castle Cainhurst. The nobles of Cainhurst stole forbidden blood from the Healing Church and became the Vilebloods (essentially vampires, though this isn’t fully explained). The Vilebloods were enemies of the Church, so a group of hunters aptly named the Executioners attacked Cainhurst and slaughtered everyone they could find, which is why it’s full of ghosts. They could not, however, kill the immortal Queen Annalise, so the Executioner Logarius hid her behind an illusion and parked himself in front of it.
There’s one other living Executioner we know of, Alfred. If you find Annalise and tell him about her, he will smash her into paste, eager to complete the work Logarius was martyred for, then kill himself. According to Annalise, she is the only Vileblood who remains, but the player can become one as well by drinking her tainted blood. Other characters associated with Cainhurst include the Bloody Crow (a hostile NPC who ostensibly betrayed Eileen’s faction, who hunt mad hunters), Lady Maria (a boss found in the Hunter’s Nightmare added in the DLC), and Arianna (a prostitute who will provide the player with vials of her blood if sent to Oedon Chapel).
I’m the one who said “no one cares” at the end, and let me explain… I hate to see Julia weigh her success on outside feedback, I just want her to feel awesome about kicking ass! But it sounded a bit harsh in hindsight. We think you’re great Julia! Whatever you do, and no matter how many attempts it takes you, you are so fun to watch.
We both took the "no one cares" very positively so you're good! It's true! No one cares! I certainly shouldn't! We're all here to have a good time. I appreciate you coming in and making sure nothing got lost though!
@@viinaart I've always felt like when you're playing soulsborne games, the boss is the devs. They're the ones emphasising challenge and tightly-balanced difficulty, if there is the ability to cheese then you win and they lose. Cheesing is fair game as far as I'm concerned 🤣🤣🤣
as a certified bald individual, i really do appreciate J+J discussing how dumb it is to use bald as an insult. also, that mall sounds absolutely fucking insane and if i somehow ended up there i'd immediately assume i'd stepped beyond the veil
Also, you know there's people who watch this stream who say "forehead" as an insult. That needs to end too. People can't change their skin color or who they love, but making fun of bald or big forehead people is allowed??
Basically using anything that is beyond one's power to choose or change as an insult is both extremely lazy and borderline meaningless. Like Julia's example with the round face. Imagine people making fun of you because your fingernails are broader and shorter than average. Wh-- what? How's that even insulting? Not only does it say more about the person "insulting" than the one on the receiving end, it's also a great example of how, when it comes to _words_ a lot of the time you can only be insulted if you "allow" the other person to insult you. Once you experience the meaninglessness of such attempts you can no longer allow that avenue and the insult effectively disappears, making the insultee sound like a rambling person. Hate speech, however, works with different rules and is not as easily dismissed, but being called "bald" should be experienced in a similar way as being called "broad-nailed". Absurd and plain dumb.
I just bit the bullet and shaved my head due to hairloss and y'all starting the stream by calling out the bald jokes really hit ✊😭thanks guys. had to sit through every person at work making a joke and it felt insane that it was just... kosher to be mean to me for something about my appearance I couldn't change? absolutely insane behavior
I mean the whole answer to "what's the deal with making fun of people who are bald" is 100% the deal is toxic enforcement of deeply ingrained standards of masculinity/virility (and yes it sucks)
Yeah, it's mindless and reeks of indirect indoctrination. I must say I was quite bummed when I started losing hair fresh out of secondary school (also around the time my sight started to fail), but it's been around 15 years now and honestly I'm into it. I only hope one day I can rock the full Charles Darwin look.
I'd argue it's more than that. people also make fun of it because 1.) it symbolizes a lack of control over your own body. 2.) it's a sign of age, which is very common category for the division of in and out groups. 3.) there's an evolutionary reason for a species to ostracize baldness - the sun is a deadly laser and your hair is the first line of defense. these things do play into virility culture, but I'd argue that masculinity isn't a major part of the equation - baldness is a very MALE thing, culturally. it's usually associated with extra testosterone being shipped elsewhere, meaning a greater proclivity to body/facial hair, sometimes a more robust build. it's associated with being a social group elder or an academic authority. it's also associated with many religious/philosophical movements, and thus with purity, asceticism, self-denial, and enlightenment. these aren't negative traits, unless you're the wrong age or sex for those traits in your culture. if you're young or female, the problem isn't the question of being masculine enough - it's that it's too early/not your place in traditional culture.

As someone with trichtillomania (hair pulling), even though my head hair is fully recovered, i rlly appreciate the calling out bald insults for an added reason- for some of us, baldness (or i my case bald spots) are the result of physical or mental illness
I also have this. I never pulled head hair (I guess weird ethnic cultural attachment was somehow stronger???) but basically everything else has been a target. The TV shows who did the 'no/burnt eyebrows' gag were painful. Almost as painful as being a new transfer to a school and a girl in line asked her friends why my eyelashes were 'like that'....on the first day. People can be really cruel, and some just have no clue. Anyways, as a fellow trich and sss fan, just wanted to send some platonic and wholesome love and support your way. ❤
@@LeslieLorane thanks so much ❤️❤️ i also have dermatillomania, and i pick at my face so i get the difficulty with like, being in the world and feeling shame and being shamed for something so visible. Sending the platonic and wholesome love back in a little box with a bow
I need Jacob to know how much I appreciate the positive self talk spiel. I am a licensed counselor who works with college students and that was absolutely so beautiful I wanted to cry. I've been a fan of yours for several years, thank you so much for everything you do. ❤
I’m ~young~ and balding. It’s honestly a lot less chill than people make it out to be. The common experience people have is light hearted jokes about balding, but actually being young and balding is a wildly different game. You stand out from all your peers. The more you work around it the more you feel like you’re hiding something, so even if you weren’t embarrassed or bothered you start to feel shame. Because of common sentiment, it very much will come up in dating. Hell. Drawfee has made jokes about it. They didn’t mean any harm and it wasn’t taken that way, but it would be nice at some point if we didn’t
Love that the run where Jacob did this huge speech on mental health and appreciating your successes and believing in yourself, was the one Julia beat The One Reborn on. It worked!
"I learned the terms for medieval architecture stuff but I lost them. Haven't you ever lost anything? Your purse? Your car keys? Well, it's rather like that: Now you have it and now you don't!"
I went through a phase when I was obsessed with gothic church architecture and also knew the name of every single tiny thing, detail, area, item, etc within and without a church. I remember maybe five words, and some I'm not sure I remember what they are, just the loose term.

1:23:40 - This is really important, and I'm so glad Jacob said it! The focus on small things in particular. When your brain is not cooperating, everything feels Too Big, so focusing on little victories is a STELLAR way to build confidence!
I'm a mathematician and coach who has spent a lot of my life studying how we learn, the nature of things being difficult to get good at, and games in general, and Julia is really impressive when it comes to skill level and patience with these games.
I was washing my face during the Logarius win in the original stream so I wasn't looking at the screen, but I just kept hearing parry noise after parry noise and was like. oh yeah she's got his ass now lmfao
I think someone should animate that positive self talk part whilst Julia was fighting The One Reborn. It was incredible to watch Julia defeat a boss she was struggling on whilst talking positively :)
Raising Canes: So one of my friends said no sauce at a Raising Canes. This is a mistake. Cane's chicken tenders are NOT good on their own. They are barely salted, barely spiced, but extremely breaded. It's a great texture with almost no flavor. They are meant to be perfect vehicles for Cane Sauce. Get the Cane Sauce, you fools! Thank you for listening to my TED Talk.
Thank you! And this is why Freddy’s Frozen Custard and Popeyes are the vastly superior tendies spots imo Edit: Not that Raising Canes isn’t fine, it’s just always been underspiced and drier in my experience and both of those things really bug me.
I feel like the canes by you has very different chicken. There's multiple locations by me and all are perfectly seasoned and lightly breaded with the breading being easy to knock off and the chicken is delicious and moist. I'm autistic and don't do most sauces and Canes is easily one of the best places for just chicken tenders with no sauce for me. You're entitled to your experiences and opinions but speaking so matter of fact on the matter when it's pretty easily identifiable as the differing take from the majority is a little weird.
Hohhhh, good to know! I recently moved several hundred miles south of where I was, and now there are Canes' and I was always hesitant to try them. Good to know that I should start with em high-sauce, and if I live in a lucky place with extra-good chicken, then it'd be safe to get them less sauced.
im a transmasc individual on T and i say all the time how excited to be bald i am/excited abt my hairline receeding etc. it started as a joke to preempt my weird feelings about hair loss but now im actively excited to see how my body changes that way :)
Useless historical fact: Julius Caesar was frequently mocked by his political rivals for being bald. Apparently, when he was awarded the honor of getting to wear a crown of laurels, he wore it whenever possible to cover up his bald spot.
Note the constantly recurring theme of pregnancy and birth and all associated things. Everything is about clotted blood and unbilical cords and things being born and reborn.
for my own reference and anyone else who wants to rewatch jacob and julia’s very good mental health convo here’s the time stamp for when it starts:) 1:18:40 ends around here 1:27:11
I had the same experience at that mall. I just needed some work clothes and had just moved to the area, spent the entire day wandering around and buying random things. When I was there they had a store where everything was $8 and the fashion was amazingly gaudy
I've been looking up Bloodborne lore as I watch these and I think it's utterly unfair that the Vilebloods don't get more story. I know that the game is about the Great Ones and breaking the illusions but I want more Vilebloods!!! tell me more about these vampires, From Software!!!!!!!!!
It’s SO funny to hear them talk about the palisades mall because I grew up going there and I can picture every thing they’re talking about- I knew as soon as they said ropes course lmaoo it’s wild how normal all of that was to me
The goal posts talk is something I love to hear as a person with chronic fatigue. I got into that mindset around 2020ish with all the depression and shit, but it’s done wonders to help with my acceptance of my disabilities. And I’ve been able to help spread that love with my dad who’s health and disabilities have certainly hit a rough patch the last few years. I’m glad such fantastic advice is being shared and spread like this. And as someone who (via religious trauma) believed themselves to be worth absolute dirt and than any form of confidence was being disrespecting to god. And I finally accepted that that isn’t ok. And that jokey over confidence did wonders for my self esteem. I don’t think I’ll ever stop. Even when it isn’t goal oriented, being exaggerating about your confidence builds that confidence
i hope that next time you guys pass through north jersey, you stop by the american dream mall. it's got like 3 theme parks, a full garden, a museum, etc. it's so wild
My cat lives in between my windows in the summer, she is a non-newtonian liquid and I would have to remove 3 panes for her to not to do it, so I "let" her. I don't know about Joy though
Here's a little tip I picked up from watching speedruns: if you buy armor sets in the upper fountain with insight you can then sell them for free blechoes, in order to buy other armor sets or what have you.
The whole positive mental health talk while fighting The One Reborn was so cool and really resonated with me. I also got so excited when Julia beat the boss right after. I'm so glad to have role models like you guys, like actual adults doing cool stuff and being silly but also heartfelt when needed. Being an adult like Jacob and Julia (and kinda all of Drawfee) is what I strive for in life now, as a person who never even expected to make it to twenty (I'm 21 now). In short, thanks for all you guys do and keep up the good work!
I know it was followed up by a joke about headless ghost women to defuse the tension, but Jacob saying "You're allowed to just say you feel a way, with no explanation" (43:19) really hit me. I also try to explain everything and have a hard time articulating my feelings and reasons for them, so that was really nice, wholesome, and important to hear.
44:00 is exactly how i feel about this sort of game and its SO SO relieving to hear from someone else, always think im like going insane when i try to explain it
Re 46:00 discussion of best weapon - I feel like bloodborne just proves how good Julia is at these games since the weapons aren't really better than each other and she is still wiping everything out just So Fast.
Soooo to throw my two cents in about the Kombucha. I pretty sure they were talking about how Jacob emphasized the COME in Kombucha very hard lol, he pronounced it correctly just put heavy emphasis on the tee-hee word.
It's always interesting to see how different people struggle or excel at different bosses. I personally have always gotten through the one reborn really quickly, but Father Gascoin is always an early game brick wall for me.
I love this Playthrough Julia is doing awesome maybe she'll pary a really tough enemy and get their legendary weapon by both of the falling off the cliff like last time. But seriously she is doing awesome!
My first play through I think I struggled with Martyr Logarius most out of every boss in the base game. Some of the DLC stuff I had a harder time with but he demolished me for a while, and I came here way later than Julia.
I'm not 100% sure but i believe you can resurrect the Queen of the Vilebloods after Alfred bonks her. So if you want to see Alfred with his mighty weapon and helmet i think you can do so just for the content.
I really wanted to support Julia's budding career as a teacher of life skills by watching the Finance class when it came out!! But I shouldn't engage with money advice for my mental health, so I did not. :/ It's not that I'm not interested! I majored in Economics and I love learning! But I'm disabled, and therefore legally obligated to remain in poverty to continue to "deserve" my health insurance, and it's just a whole mess. Love you guys, you're real bright spots in the tedium of waiting months at a time for underpaid people several states away to get around to my pile of paperwork out of, like, literally hundreds of thousands, just to deny me again in a reverse-ageism situation, because obviously, people under 70 can't be disabled! Right? :P
The way the American government insists that disabled people should absolutely not be able to support themselves at all in order to qualify for financial aid is one of the stupidest, most fucked up policies ever. For people who haven't gone through the agony of trying to apply for SS or SSI, you are not allowed to have more than $2,000-$4,000 in your bank accounts (or even in assets, maybe? I forget,) or you are considered ineligible.
That mall is just what every semi-successful mall feels like now. If it’s not 90% boarded up stores, it’s got the ropes course, go kart, motion simulators, and weird novelty versions of chain restaurants. Destiny USA in syracuse also has a wonderworks which looks like a museum crashed into the roof of the building and everything in it is upside down
At the beginning of the final fight with grandpa I felt the win coming and full screened. What an amazing win tho Julia just had to do what comes naturally to her: parrying
I feel Julia's pain. I had a harder time with Martyr Logarius than with Orphan of Kos. Something about fighting on the uneven roof vs a flat surface kept throwing me off.
As someone who also has naturally thick, choppy/wavy hair, I feel Jacob's pain with hair growing out rather than down and how the sides get so out of control.
There is an episode of Um, Actually! That has a mini game about the two Miyazakis. They have to guess the quotes for each and its never which you’d expect
I am loving these 2024 hair transformations though. I mean, yes, Jacob looks a little wacky with the freed side-hair, but still, I am excited to see what he is planning to do with it going forward. And obviously Julia's hair is still super cool looking. Also there def is a bald-freedom!! I shaved my head last year and it was neat, but also *not* my look lol. also, how do they have yet *another* story about finding themselves in a strange mall?! Does Upstate NY just have a lot of weird malls you can get lost in?

I constantly forget that “go up baldy” isn’t a common meme that everyone knows and is actually specific to the drawfee community
I was really happy when it first was mentioned on Drawfee, and when it gained traction, because that had been one of the standouts of the old testament for me for years, and since most people I know are more or less normal and haven't read the bible (I should say bibleS) back to front a number of times out of sheer curiosity, there was no one in my life to share that utter insanity with.
I'm in some atheist circles, so even if "go up, baldy" isn't specifically a meme, we ALL know about the "bears kill kids for making fun of a bald man" story.
Honestly, it's funny to me as someone who watches Drawee and listens to PST, as both have had 'Go Up Baldy' as a meme.

"Murders the shit out of that woman [...] not in a normal way." That describes about half of Bloodborne but yet is still so fitting.
Jacob's "enter into a new challenge with a comedic level of confidence instead of going in thinking you're going to fail" is, for people like me, actually great advice.

@@LeslieLorane thanks so much ❤️❤️ i also have dermatillomania, and i pick at my face so i get the difficulty with like, being in the world and feeling shame and being shamed for something so visible. Sending the platonic and wholesome love back in a little box with a bow
Nothing but love and healing to my Body-Focussed Repetitive Behavior crew ❤
I need Jacob to know how much I appreciate the positive self talk spiel. I am a licensed counselor who works with college students and that was absolutely so beautiful I wanted to cry. I've been a fan of yours for several years, thank you so much for everything you do. ❤
I’m ~young~ and balding. It’s honestly a lot less chill than people make it out to be. The common experience people have is light hearted jokes about balding, but actually being young and balding is a wildly different game. You stand out from all your peers. The more you work around it the more you feel like you’re hiding something, so even if you weren’t embarrassed or bothered you start to feel shame. Because of common sentiment, it very much will come up in dating.
Hell. Drawfee has made jokes about it.
They didn’t mean any harm and it wasn’t taken that way, but it would be nice at some point if we didn’t
Love that the run where Jacob did this huge speech on mental health and appreciating your successes and believing in yourself, was the one Julia beat The One Reborn on. It worked!
Please, do not ever change that crown. Lem was born to wear it.
Nothing but respect for our Sour Candy King.
He doth be the Lemon Lord.
"I learned the terms for medieval architecture stuff but I lost them. Haven't you ever lost anything? Your purse? Your car keys? Well, it's rather like that: Now you have it and now you don't!"
I went through a phase when I was obsessed with gothic church architecture and also knew the name of every single tiny thing, detail, area, item, etc within and without a church. I remember maybe five words, and some I'm not sure I remember what they are, just the loose term.

1:01:35 my ramen brand recs are indomie and paldo, they always pack a flavor punch
1:23:40 - This is really important, and I'm so glad Jacob said it! The focus on small things in particular. When your brain is not cooperating, everything feels Too Big, so focusing on little victories is a STELLAR way to build confidence!
I'm a mathematician and coach who has spent a lot of my life studying how we learn, the nature of things being difficult to get good at, and games in general, and Julia is really impressive when it comes to skill level and patience with these games.
I was washing my face during the Logarius win in the original stream so I wasn't looking at the screen, but I just kept hearing parry noise after parry noise and was like. oh yeah she's got his ass now lmfao
I think someone should animate that positive self talk part whilst Julia was fighting The One Reborn. It was incredible to watch Julia defeat a boss she was struggling on whilst talking positively :)
Raising Canes: So one of my friends said no sauce at a Raising Canes. This is a mistake. Cane's chicken tenders are NOT good on their own. They are barely salted, barely spiced, but extremely breaded. It's a great texture with almost no flavor. They are meant to be perfect vehicles for Cane Sauce. Get the Cane Sauce, you fools!
Thank you for listening to my TED Talk.
Thank you! And this is why Freddy’s Frozen Custard and Popeyes are the vastly superior tendies spots imo
Edit: Not that Raising Canes isn’t fine, it’s just always been underspiced and drier in my experience and both of those things really bug me.
Damn, I used to live near a Raising Canes and now they don't have them in this country. That place is so damn good.
I feel like the canes by you has very different chicken. There's multiple locations by me and all are perfectly seasoned and lightly breaded with the breading being easy to knock off and the chicken is delicious and moist. I'm autistic and don't do most sauces and Canes is easily one of the best places for just chicken tenders with no sauce for me. You're entitled to your experiences and opinions but speaking so matter of fact on the matter when it's pretty easily identifiable as the differing take from the majority is a little weird.
@@thedizzytuna Very possible. I'm in Colorado, far from it's home
Hohhhh, good to know! I recently moved several hundred miles south of where I was, and now there are Canes' and I was always hesitant to try them. Good to know that I should start with em high-sauce, and if I live in a lucky place with extra-good chicken, then it'd be safe to get them less sauced.
i just went to that mall today …. the entire chilis building indoors is truly a sight to behold
im a transmasc individual on T and i say all the time how excited to be bald i am/excited abt my hairline receeding etc. it started as a joke to preempt my weird feelings about hair loss but now im actively excited to see how my body changes that way :)
I like to think Ghibli Miyazaki is the Evil One because he’s battling his dark side for so long. Souls Miyazaki is the Silly One
Useless historical fact: Julius Caesar was frequently mocked by his political rivals for being bald. Apparently, when he was awarded the honor of getting to wear a crown of laurels, he wore it whenever possible to cover up his bald spot.
They stabbed that man for being bald smh
Another fun little fact: One of the possible origins of the name Caesar is from caesaries, meaning basically "long and luxurious hair."
jason and julie are now on my to-rob list and the first thing i'm going for is that princess jellyfish box set
Just gonna timestamp the mental health talk at 1:20:21 for myself, because I genuinely needed to hear that, thanks Jacob
Jacob is a true king. That mental health advice was exactly what I needed to hear
the subtitles on these vods are soooo so good, thank you
Jacob dropping some cognitive behavioural therapy
Always knew he was a fan of CBT.
@@kamikazesopp hm ? Come again ? 🤨
Note the constantly recurring theme of pregnancy and birth and all associated things. Everything is about clotted blood and unbilical cords and things being born and reborn.
for my own reference and anyone else who wants to rewatch jacob and julia’s very good mental health convo here’s the time stamp for when it starts:)
1:18:40
ends around here 1:27:11
I had the same experience at that mall. I just needed some work clothes and had just moved to the area, spent the entire day wandering around and buying random things. When I was there they had a store where everything was $8 and the fashion was amazingly gaudy
I've been looking up Bloodborne lore as I watch these and I think it's utterly unfair that the Vilebloods don't get more story. I know that the game is about the Great Ones and breaking the illusions but I want more Vilebloods!!! tell me more about these vampires, From Software!!!!!!!!!
42:04 As someone whose brain also “works stupid”, I can relate to this heavily.
Everyone's old pal Marty Logarius
Julia is so good at the game that using an intentional strategy feels like cheesing to her…
I absolutely love the Julia souls experience bc its always a deep dive into her mind, I find it very interesting
I think that Mall you fpund was a verified Liminal Space left over from the 90s
I was going to say Jacob with the loose hair looks like he'd be in Coldplay circa 2008
It’s SO funny to hear them talk about the palisades mall because I grew up going there and I can picture every thing they’re talking about- I knew as soon as they said ropes course lmaoo it’s wild how normal all of that was to me
The goal posts talk is something I love to hear as a person with chronic fatigue. I got into that mindset around 2020ish with all the depression and shit, but it’s done wonders to help with my acceptance of my disabilities. And I’ve been able to help spread that love with my dad who’s health and disabilities have certainly hit a rough patch the last few years. I’m glad such fantastic advice is being shared and spread like this.
And as someone who (via religious trauma) believed themselves to be worth absolute dirt and than any form of confidence was being disrespecting to god. And I finally accepted that that isn’t ok. And that jokey over confidence did wonders for my self esteem. I don’t think I’ll ever stop. Even when it isn’t goal oriented, being exaggerating about your confidence builds that confidence
i hope that next time you guys pass through north jersey, you stop by the american dream mall. it's got like 3 theme parks, a full garden, a museum, etc. it's so wild
surprised joy at 6:55
I love her
Jacob don't lie to me you know when you listen back to the first time you said kombucha you put some extra stank on the KOM
"stanky kom"
All hail King Lem the Sour.
My dad was on the construction crew for the Pallisades Center, weird to hear them talk about lol
Also I was at that Chilli's once with a friend and she ordered a lemonade the waiter said no.
Jacob is giving 80s heartthrob and I am here for it
1:30:11 the music scared the ever loving christ out of me here bc it sounded like a Tornado siren starting up 😭😭😭
The raising canes in manhattan had a live DJ when I went in there...
I initially misread this as "live-in DJ" and immensely confused myself 😂
My cat lives in between my windows in the summer, she is a non-newtonian liquid and I would have to remove 3 panes for her to not to do it, so I "let" her.
I don't know about Joy though
It's been so long since i've been to any mall other than the mall of america that this mall sounds completely normal to me
I know when Julia's about to beat a boss because it's ALWAYS the moment I'm distracted doing something else
title goes hard
That is an insane steal of a manga sale!! Never seen that before from all the places w manga I’ve browsed!! Lucky find!
Here's a little tip I picked up from watching speedruns: if you buy armor sets in the upper fountain with insight you can then sell them for free blechoes, in order to buy other armor sets or what have you.
The whole positive mental health talk while fighting The One Reborn was so cool and really resonated with me. I also got so excited when Julia beat the boss right after. I'm so glad to have role models like you guys, like actual adults doing cool stuff and being silly but also heartfelt when needed. Being an adult like Jacob and Julia (and kinda all of Drawfee) is what I strive for in life now, as a person who never even expected to make it to twenty (I'm 21 now). In short, thanks for all you guys do and keep up the good work!
1:12:00 Julia talking about how she's got it back, while effortlessly dodging blood and bullets without even really trying.
I know it was followed up by a joke about headless ghost women to defuse the tension, but Jacob saying "You're allowed to just say you feel a way, with no explanation" (43:19) really hit me. I also try to explain everything and have a hard time articulating my feelings and reasons for them, so that was really nice, wholesome, and important to hear.
i think if Hayao and Hidetaka Miyazaki fought, Hidetaka would just let himself be killed. The guy is a masochist.
44:00 is exactly how i feel about this sort of game and its SO SO relieving to hear from someone else, always think im like going insane when i try to explain it
Re 46:00 discussion of best weapon - I feel like bloodborne just proves how good Julia is at these games since the weapons aren't really better than each other and she is still wiping everything out just So Fast.
omgjfc JULIER YOU CAN DO IT idk if she did it I'm not watching live but I am frickin STOKED WOOOOOOOOOOO
Soooo to throw my two cents in about the Kombucha. I pretty sure they were talking about how Jacob emphasized the COME in Kombucha very hard lol, he pronounced it correctly just put heavy emphasis on the tee-hee word.
It's always interesting to see how different people struggle or excel at different bosses. I personally have always gotten through the one reborn really quickly, but Father Gascoin is always an early game brick wall for me.
I love this Playthrough Julia is doing awesome maybe she'll pary a really tough enemy and get their legendary weapon by both of the falling off the cliff like last time.
But seriously she is doing awesome!
raising canes is my guilty pleasure... it's really only guilty because it's ungodly expensive LOL
My first play through I think I struggled with Martyr Logarius most out of every boss in the base game. Some of the DLC stuff I had a harder time with but he demolished me for a while, and I came here way later than Julia.
I'm not 100% sure but i believe you can resurrect the Queen of the Vilebloods after Alfred bonks her. So if you want to see Alfred with his mighty weapon and helmet i think you can do so just for the content.
This was the first SSS stream I caught live on Twitch and I got to see the TOR victory and BOY was it hype! GREAT stream, yall!
I really wanted to support Julia's budding career as a teacher of life skills by watching the Finance class when it came out!! But I shouldn't engage with money advice for my mental health, so I did not. :/ It's not that I'm not interested! I majored in Economics and I love learning! But I'm disabled, and therefore legally obligated to remain in poverty to continue to "deserve" my health insurance, and it's just a whole mess.
Love you guys, you're real bright spots in the tedium of waiting months at a time for underpaid people several states away to get around to my pile of paperwork out of, like, literally hundreds of thousands, just to deny me again in a reverse-ageism situation, because obviously, people under 70 can't be disabled! Right? :P
The way the American government insists that disabled people should absolutely not be able to support themselves at all in order to qualify for financial aid is one of the stupidest, most fucked up policies ever.
For people who haven't gone through the agony of trying to apply for SS or SSI, you are not allowed to have more than $2,000-$4,000 in your bank accounts (or even in assets, maybe? I forget,) or you are considered ineligible.
That mall is just what every semi-successful mall feels like now. If it’s not 90% boarded up stores, it’s got the ropes course, go kart, motion simulators, and weird novelty versions of chain restaurants. Destiny USA in syracuse also has a wonderworks which looks like a museum crashed into the roof of the building and everything in it is upside down
That mall you found sounds like a lot of the malls here in the Philippines ✨
"i am an only child today" - joy and olive sometimes
bloodborne is one of my all-time favourite games, and watching Julia grind her way through it is thoroughly entertaining
💚
Julia's string of viscerals was so damn _satisfying_
I’ve never wanted to go to a mall so badly
At the beginning of the final fight with grandpa I felt the win coming and full screened. What an amazing win tho Julia just had to do what comes naturally to her: parrying
As a folicly challenged individual, I appreciate the opening rhetoric.
pre-stream chat on this one was great and I definitely didn't absolutely own someone with a very good joke 😇😇
I feel Julia's pain. I had a harder time with Martyr Logarius than with Orphan of Kos. Something about fighting on the uneven roof vs a flat surface kept throwing me off.
That positive self-talk discussion was just what I needed today.
in relation to the goalpost conversation, a thing that has helped me is "1% of progress is still progress "
I swear to god Jacob made up one or two of those fast food places. I refuse to believe those are all real
at 1 h 50 min,
worst room in the entire game i always just book it and i always get the cold shivers afterwards.
Carnegie Mellon students have their own way of saying kombucha?
Took me a minute, but I got there
As someone who also has naturally thick, choppy/wavy hair, I feel Jacob's pain with hair growing out rather than down and how the sides get so out of control.
1:21:21 genuinely really good advice! Thanks Jacob!
This mall story is like the opposite of the Willy Wonka experience
I always love how muppetey the worm carls are
There is an episode of Um, Actually! That has a mini game about the two Miyazakis. They have to guess the quotes for each and its never which you’d expect
Macaroni Grill still exists, there are just a lot fewer of them now
Anytime I am saying good bye to someone I believe I will never see again I always say 'May you find your worth in the waking world'
"There are two Miyazakis inside of you" is underrated
I am loving these 2024 hair transformations though. I mean, yes, Jacob looks a little wacky with the freed side-hair, but still, I am excited to see what he is planning to do with it going forward. And obviously Julia's hair is still super cool looking.
Also there def is a bald-freedom!! I shaved my head last year and it was neat, but also *not* my look lol.
also, how do they have yet *another* story about finding themselves in a strange mall?! Does Upstate NY just have a lot of weird malls you can get lost in?
1:20:24 jacobs advice for low self confidence (loved it! Real good read)
