"Let's have a nice normal gaming video" I said, before writing two pages about a motorcycle screw.

Ah, one of my favourite games. I'll enjoy this one.

I really liked the part about playing the piano; it resonated with me, since I’ve recently picked up the violin again. (Though admittedly after a shorter gap) I think the comparison between musical instruments and a certain type of video games is very apt- a part of my quitting violin was getting stuck on a particular piece, never managing to perfect it. I do still love that piece

omg yes, i got platinum for sekiro cause i could not stop playing it. there arent many videos on it and it feels overlooked by the fromsoftware community despite being amazing, finally something i can sink my teeth into

mydogass

sekiro really has a way of making you remember parry timing permanently. i beat genichiro so many times that i realised i could now perfectly parry his floating passage with my eyes closed, and when i came back after a year of not playing i beat him first try, sekiro is something special

Anyone recognize what Jacob's playing on the piano at 19:25-19:45 (it also plays over the credits)? Sounds super familiar but I can't quite ID it?

Very relatable as always, Jacob. When you said "God dammit I should start playing piano again" I was just like yeah that absolutely scans. I think about this kind of stuff all the time as well. Though I feel like I go broad where you go deep. I'm always picking up new crafts because I love the feeling of just understanding how the world works a bit better. I do not need to be a master at any of these things, but I have learned how to make soap, how to cook, how to felt, mix colors, do make up, paint walls, all in my constant pursuit to have more beauty in my life and also to just know a bit more of how to connect the dots of how things happen. I love to crochet because did you ever think about the fact that crocheted objects are literally just (generally) one long continuous line of plant or animal fiber, first twisted into strands of yarn then looped over and over and over again until you have something beautiful and functional that you can also unmake right back down to a single long strand of yarn if you just pull at it right? And further, you can (intheory) untwist the yarn back down to it's fibers. You can't do that with most crafts. Soap does not go back into being lye and oil, your bread can't go back into being flour and yeast, your computer can't transform back into the individual plastics and metals that made it. But crochet (and knitting as well and plenty of other yarn arts but look I crochet) is a preserved network of countless tiny fibers, still themselves but also just, twisted, and looped, until you have fabric, a blanket, a plush. It very sincerely feels like witchcraft to me. Speaking of, if you are ever interested in letting us send you things, let me know. I'll send you a scarf or some dragon gloves =)

Thank you for this really fresh perspective on Sekiro and perfection. It's a really fascinating take on perfection, seeing it as something beautiful and not so toxic as it is normally seen. We may all know that true perfection is literally impossible, but to understand that we can still strive towards it in an effort to more fully embrace a work of art is really wonderful. Fabulous mustache btw.

I caught 'On the Nature of Daylight' in your playing there. Keep practicing, well done!

Great vid! I was so hyped for Sekiro at release, but then I bounced off of the combat hard. Soulsborne muscle memory really works against you as you're trying to pick up the new mechanics. A year later I finally got back around to it. Once the combat clicks, it's honestly the most replayable fromsoft game with by far the best bosses. You get to a point where you start unintentionally crafting your own speedruns and challenge playthroughs with every NG+. I see why they had to return to traditional souls combat in Elden Ring, but mechanically it did sorta feel like a step backwards. Hope we get a sequel one day!!!

I actually listened to ZatAoMM on Audible, because there was no way I could get through a dead tree version. It's... eh? There's music at weird spots, not chapter breaks, which I think is from being originally mastered for tape. And the voice actor gets noticeably deeper and scarier in the final part. It could use a new recording.

Thank you for playing piano for us, Jacob! <3
