Jacob: yes, the dreaded spinning blade section. It took me hours, nay, days. I cried, bled, and got by with the skin of my teeth. It didnt feel like a success, it felt like extreme luck. Julia: oo ee oo a a
I don't wanna be like weird and personal about relationship or dynamic but I'm so here for Jacob's responses when Julia is like "I'm bad at this thing" which are totally valid and I can ABSOLUTELY understand especially performing in front of people you wanna get in there and be like "guys I'm bad at this don't expect me to be good or do well" and then maybe the internet will be a bit kinder which yknow is always a plus but Jacob is so awesome just gently being like "you're not bad at this you've just never played this game before and have to get used to it" like "just making sure you realise reality" 🤣😊 but then he still will be like "you did that bit badly though lol" 🤣 i love these two
This stream just brings my understanding of Julia to a new level (I think). Her description of the Nirvana at peak nihilism makes complete sense given how she seems to be an overthinker and I feel that in my bones. Once the constant thought process is dulled she feels like her creative side can flourish and that's why her drawing aesthetics tend towards dark/gritty but at the same time bring some eldritch comfort. And my feedback for Julia in case she ever sees this and decides to Knights Try Again is to: A- dismember the traps mentally like you do with those Returnal lasers and the menial tasks in day-to-day life, then stop thinking when you're executing. B- As Jacob said by the end, the positive thinking also works as a way to stop the overworking brain; and, most importantly, C- remember to channel the grace and confidence of her inner gazelle!
I definitely think Julia should be proud of completing dark souls 1, especially with a bunch of extra challenge stuff she threw in. Some people make it an extra challenge on themself to only use the default 5 starting flasks and not use any NPC summons and Julia was able to do all that on her first playthrough. So congratulations again! You are good at life!
I fell asleep watching one of the other vods and then woke up to the endless "tunk, tunk" of this knights steps. It crept into my dream and i walked around my house trying to find what was making that metallic noise. I eventually disassembled my air conditioner but it didnt fix it so i walked outside. The noise was coming from everywhere and then i eventually woke up.
knight's try, more like cats dont even have to try to be cute 38:00 joy enters frame to be a nuisance little lap kitty 40:18 u ever just consider 44:07 joy better not 44:51 joy did 45:46 a lil cat stank 1:29:26 quick lil leggie greeting 1:36:34 cat check 1:42:19 channeling joy + olive summoned 1:43:09 joy appears 1:44:34 saying hi to joy 2:00:00 hi puffy joy
I wonder if Jacob enjoys asymmetrical fashion other than earrings. Like wearing different socks for instance. Or not wearing a sock or shoe on one foot. Also, I love Julia's discouraging speeches.
I absolutely loved this stream!! These laidback silly streams are really helping me wind down after long stressful days during a very difficult time at university and placement right now, so thank you sm for what you’re both doing x
One of the best contenders for smartest animal is the New Caledonia crow, which can solve complex (8 step) puzzles on the first try simply by examining them.
When Jacob said "That's the ultimate goal, everybody wants to rock the Zolo earrings" I was literally googling "zoro" and thinking of getting more piercings in my left ear so I could wear earrings like that lmao
I can definitely relate to the build change up strategy of dark souls 1. It was probably four playthroughs with friends that I realize you can use a divine weapon in the Nito boss fight to prevent the skeletons from reviving. At that point it just became a much less hectic solo battle with Nito themselves. And I knew for every single one of those playthroughs that you could use a divine weapon against regular skeletons to prevent them from reviving, I just never thought to bring it into the Nito boss fight until I did it by coincidence.
for me it was that you can fight nito without having a light spell/ bug active and when u do that u dont get sniped by nonstop ground swords before ur even looking at the man
I was sitting around at three in the morning watching this video feeling incredibly depressed but when Julia made it to that checkpoint at the very end, I truly felt better. Thank you for this!
1:07:03 i am not sure what exactly about jacob saying "he died of shock" had the power to make me do an honest to god spit-take of water all over my bedroom floor but boy, it did, and boy, my sinuses are killing me
I associate this game with chill lofi beats so strongly from the two streams that if I were to ever play it I'd have to silence the soundtrack and put those on for it to feel right...
didnt expect to go through an entire emotional journey and learn a lesson about the power of stubborn optimism today but honestly thats just the SSS experience and i should never have expected any less great job julia!! you knighted and you tried
This is a really weird reference, but the graphics of this game have the same vibe as the graphics for the Warcraft II PC cinematics. It's that blurry, but pixelated feel that is making me feel really nostalgic as I watch this playthrough...
julia goes straight into giselle mode! ... ok she then got like five deaths in the span of me trying to spell giselle so rip I guess *Gazelle... Twas I, the fool in Giselle mode
This game gives me anxiety and i dont normally get anxiety xD For some reason, this activates my fear of falling, but never when she actually falls lol
Much like Jacob, I too get motion sickness only at some games; for instance Overwatch is fine, but for some reason Minecraft longer than a few hours. I think it is a framerate thing, though I've also tried screwing around with FOV settings and sometimes it helps a little bit.
While looking at our cats, I too sometimes just say to my partner, "This is a real living creature that lives with us. Like a real animal that we house and feed and love."
Julia's legitimate shock when the positivity worked was incredible. Also, Jacob, I will no longer stand for this animal slander! EVERY ANIMAL HAS THEIR PURPOSE.
Random fun fact about gazelles: Julia is correct about their confidence (in a manner of speaking) because the crazy jumping they do when confronted with a lion is called pronking, and because it seems like a counter-intuitive behaviour to waste energy on big jumps when you could just be running away, one theory on why they do that is to tell predators “hey, check out how fit and energetic I am, it would be a waste of your effort to try to chase me down, so you shouldn’t bother,” so in a way, they’re showing off! So harness the confidence and grace of a gazelle and use your magnificent hops to tell those that would seek to harm you to back tf off! Pronk your problems away!
A touch of feedback on the auto-attenuating Tunes: the very noticable difference between attenuated and non-attenuated volume makes it kinda uncomfortable to listen to, especially when it's for a second or so in between words. 43:55 for an example, it's so aggro. In all honesty I prefer no auto-attenuation at all, but a smaller attenuation is no issue either.
I used to think that Julia was the UA-camr most like myself. Now I have seen here in Arsenal kit and I'm very conflicted. Signed a long suffering Spurs fan.

"Nobody appreciates the feminine grace of a fucking gazelle" another julia quote to add to my brain
“i’d appreciate it if you wouldn’t gender the grace of a gazelle, okay, thank you,” another jacob quote in my brain also
been rewatching Julia's Dark Souls run and this game confirms she has some sort of super power to fall when it comedically most appropriate
Julia winning everything she deserves through the power of positive self talk made my evening.
Jacob: yes, the dreaded spinning blade section. It took me hours, nay, days. I cried, bled, and got by with the skin of my teeth. It didnt feel like a success, it felt like extreme luck.
Julia: oo ee oo a a

"you shouldn't be able to stand in the cleve hole" I love it here
I seriously underestimated Julia’s innate talent and profound luckiness, particularly when those come at Jacob’s expense.
That was all skill baby
She's also playing in a different difficulty
The lesson of today: positivity wins and that rules
I pray to find someone who's as supportive of me as Jacob is to Julia.
I'll do you one better: be that person to someone yourself! (っ.❛ ᴗ ❛.)っ
"you're nOT DOING YOU, QUEEN! YOU'RE NOT DOING YOU!!!" I will strive to do me going forward, thank u Jacob
Ready for a whole new school of thought to emerge from this video
I thought this was kind of random until I finished the video and realized, yes, my outlook on life has been radically altered
I know you mean the power of positive thinking stuff, but I'd rather see a new gazelle-based ethos emerge.
The laser talk changed the trajectory of my life I think
I was just hoping for round two of the mole phoenix tiger mindset but I didn't expect that perfect moral of an ending
[Disappointed reproachful tone] "It's like you love balls" 46:10
That got me lmao
I don't wanna be like weird and personal about relationship or dynamic but I'm so here for Jacob's responses when Julia is like "I'm bad at this thing" which are totally valid and I can ABSOLUTELY understand especially performing in front of people you wanna get in there and be like "guys I'm bad at this don't expect me to be good or do well" and then maybe the internet will be a bit kinder which yknow is always a plus but Jacob is so awesome just gently being like "you're not bad at this you've just never played this game before and have to get used to it" like "just making sure you realise reality" 🤣😊 but then he still will be like "you did that bit badly though lol" 🤣 i love these two
The 'you gotta be 17' jokes and 'that was thursday' bit really got me for some reason

Jacob's original Knight's Try is one of my favorite videos on the internet. So happy to see this.
knight's try, more like cats dont even have to try to be cute
38:00 joy enters frame to be a nuisance little lap kitty
40:18 u ever just consider
44:07 joy better not

'I'm not good at platformers', proceeds to destroy the first section (with the grace of a gazelle).
I wonder if Jacob enjoys asymmetrical fashion other than earrings. Like wearing different socks for instance. Or not wearing a sock or shoe on one foot.
Also, I love Julia's discouraging speeches.
I'm returning to this video when I need positive reminders on tough days.
"The problem with Arsenal is that they always try to walk the ball in" I got that reference, person in chat, and I loved it.
17:47 Jacob saying “Kill yourself now” sent me into fight or flight
I absolutely loved this stream!! These laidback silly streams are really helping me wind down after long stressful days during a very difficult time at university and placement right now, so thank you sm for what you’re both doing x
That grunt sounds Julia makes gets me every time.
Yes, Julia! Self-love Julia succeeds in the 11th hour, hell yeah!
Man to be able to watch the live stream of the absolute mental journey on the last part. Positivity Works!
One of the best contenders for smartest animal is the New Caledonia crow, which can solve complex (8 step) puzzles on the first try simply by examining them.
Also, some captive orangutans have been taught by their keepers to make and use a stone tool used by early homo sapiens.
1:56:04 Absolute game changer right here.
When Jacob said "That's the ultimate goal, everybody wants to rock the Zolo earrings" I was literally googling "zoro" and thinking of getting more piercings in my left ear so I could wear earrings like that lmao
I just yelled at my screen "JUKE EM JUSTIN JUKE EM... NOOO!"
Very powerful... a stream with a lesson "I'm going to do great, I'm gonna kill it"

Twimble makes an appearance at 50:16!
It made me so happy, Twimble is great
glad that Jacob and I have the same sense of earring style. gotta keep that shit asymmetrical
ooooh im excited to see julia play this game, i loved watching jacob play it ^^
I was sitting around at three in the morning watching this video feeling incredibly depressed but when Julia made it to that checkpoint at the very end, I truly felt better. Thank you for this!
1:07:03 i am not sure what exactly about jacob saying "he died of shock" had the power to make me do an honest to god spit-take of water all over my bedroom floor but boy, it did, and boy, my sinuses are killing me
I was losing it this entire video
Has Julia *ever* been this blithely skilled at a platformer
i have learned the lesson of positivity and i will bring it into my life. thank you jacob and julia for showing me the light
“anyway, ignore that i said thicker rods”
That ending was glorious.
1:58:45 Jacob I do usually start yelling god gamer when fighting the bosses in Dark Souls and you know what? It totally works.
I associate this game with chill lofi beats so strongly from the two streams that if I were to ever play it I'd have to silence the soundtrack and put those on for it to feel right...
I already watched this but it warrants a second watch honestly
1:56:10 Optimistic Julia Run
didnt expect to go through an entire emotional journey and learn a lesson about the power of stubborn optimism today but honestly thats just the SSS experience and i should never have expected any less
great job julia!! you knighted and you tried
The arc of this stream was unparalleled
Loved this one. Mostly unrelated: It's like the complete opposite of the Tarot Drawfee episode, and it's amazing.
I love Jacob’s excitement for music
This is a really weird reference, but the graphics of this game have the same vibe as the graphics for the Warcraft II PC cinematics. It's that blurry, but pixelated feel that is making me feel really nostalgic as I watch this playthrough...

Julia: I'm not good at this game
Me: *gets to the first checkpoint on try: 119* FINALLY! HELL YEAH!!!
This game gives me anxiety and i dont normally get anxiety xD For some reason, this activates my fear of falling, but never when she actually falls lol
On this day julia learned that talking positively about yourself makes you better, oh oh no not cos or as some say cosum you crushed it sincerely 2024
I'm so sad I didn't get to see Julia's reaction to the crazy lil skeletons
The difference positivity makes. Lifechanging moment
Oh I thought it was another Elden Ring stream XD I was like 'Why aren't we starting with a small private room joke?'
But this sounds cool too.
17:51 half expected lightning to shoot from Jacob's eyes
Much like Jacob, I too get motion sickness only at some games; for instance Overwatch is fine, but for some reason Minecraft longer than a few hours. I think it is a framerate thing, though I've also tried screwing around with FOV settings and sometimes it helps a little bit.
1:38:03 i whipped my head around SO FAST when i suddenly heard Julia singing 99 Luftballons from Nena😂😯
I didnt realize that the timestamps were inaccurate and when I went to skip ads/subs I was SO confused as to why the ad break was like an hour long
Jacob! You the Swan, are beautiful!
I love Tsoaf too, and a live show sounds incredible!
While looking at our cats, I too sometimes just say to my partner, "This is a real living creature that lives with us. Like a real animal that we house and feed and love."
Literally just watched Jacob when he play this originally today through suggestions. It's like youtube knew this was coming
Julia's legitimate shock when the positivity worked was incredible.
Also, Jacob, I will no longer stand for this animal slander! EVERY ANIMAL HAS THEIR PURPOSE.

can't wait for this stream to be added to drawfee musical compilations
BEEN WAITING FOR YOU GUYS TO PLAY THIS ONE AGAIN!!!
Thanks guys. I needed this today
#SecretSleepOverSociety #SSS
Missing Chapter Transition at 30:00
I love that Julia independently does the bit of humming the mario riff jumping into the game.
THAT. ENDING! That was a lesson on optimism Julia! ...Or just like, you're a pro gamer... This was such a fun one; loved how nostalgic it felt too.
The Gamezelle™ triumphs!
Yoooo loved jacob's playthrough !!!
😊
it's time for Vibes
I can't believe Julia is further than Jacob after one stream.
she's a damn Natural!..oh. 09:02
This has the most satisfying ending!
Julias german singing makes me cry in a good way
I love this video so much!
1:09:20 did you see that ludicrous display last night?
Literally was thinking of jacobs playthrough of this last night
I also agree with Julia's Celeste statement. Felt the same with Undertale.
when julia said she didnt want help and jacob immediately started helping i wanted to pull my eyes and ears from my skull and devour them
uh a- am I a cannonball
PLEASE play this againnnn
1:19:46 I’m playing Celeste while watching this it very fun and also I’m in chapter 3 and have died over a thousand times
Does anyone have a link to the playlist of lofi beats Jacob plays during the stream? I'd love to have it for studying
"Ignore the fact that I just said 'thicker rod'" but don't ignore "double dangler?"
If only positive thinking happened this fast for me.
I think Jacob just needs to accept that Julia is The Gamer.
I'm vibing so hard right now. This reminds me of the game "Alt-F4". I gotta check it out.

18:38 Of all the things I was expecting, Jacob talking about morphgenic fields (or whatever zero escape calls it), was not on my list.
