you're dead, you're dead.
So I'm coughing a little bit, but hopefully I'll stop.
Oh my God, that's a lot of people.
I'm getting quite nervous.
Oh, wow.
I'm going to try and invite everybody to speak.
So it's, you know, if, like I said, no pressure
if you guys don't want to, that's OK too.
This is fun.
And then I think you can, if you don't
want to speak verbally, but you still want to talk then,
you can just like comment on this.
Oh.
The thing I think, and it'll show up.
Hello.
Hello.
Hi.
Oh, OK.
I thought, oh, OK.
Hello.
It's so nice to see you.
Oh, yay.
You big yay.
Oh wow.
This is quite a lot of people.
I'm glad everybody's here.
This is kind of a precursor to seeing
if I can do live stuff and I'll be fine.
Because I still really want, like I said,
I really want to play R.A.4.
As a thank you for 10,000 kudos, which is crazy.
10,000 kudos.
Oh my goodness.
But that was a while ago, honestly.
And I should catch.
I should do it soon.
Because I think the, I think God, I'm like blanking on the name
of my own fake.
How does your garden grow?
Garden is about to hit 14,000 kudos too, which is fucking crazy.
Oh, someone asked to speak.
How do I do that?
Oh, yes, here we go.
There we go.
And I really want to celebrate that.
And because I'm genuinely so grateful to everybody
whoever left the kudos or commented or anything of the sort,
like it's amazing.
This community has been so sweet.
Like genuinely, this is one of the best fandoms I've been in,
which is probably also a bit of a low bar, honestly.
But that's OK.
I mean, specifically, the people who support this ship,
everybody has been very, very sweet.
Even though I know that just in general fandom space
can be a little bit cumbersome.
But everybody has been very, very, very kind and very grateful.
So I really do want to play at least RE4.
But I still have to set up a way to stream it.
I don't know if maybe I'll go the lazy route and just force
everybody to join the Discord server.
But that's a really high level of engagement.
So I don't know if that's necessary or not.
Wait, there's more people.
Let me invite you guys to speak to.
If you want to, you don't have to.
But you'll have the invitation just in case.
You might have already played, but high key.
If you want to play zero in one, I have it on my steam account.
And I can just give you those logins.
That's very sweet.
Thank you.
Yeah, I mean, if people really want to,
then I'm more than willing to play all the games.
It just kind of sucks because a lot of my ARIA games
are on my PS5, but my brother took it with him when he went to college,
which is very frustrating.
But it's OK.
I might just rebuy the games on steam and just play for my PC.
That's fine too.
And guys, I am legitimately, like I love the ARIA games,
obviously, but I am so bad at playing them.
It's really, it's like not even a joke.
I'm actually so freaking buns.
It's horrendous how badly I play.
Like for ARIA 4, ARIA 4 is my favorite.
The remake is my favorite.
I love that game so much.
And I've played it so many times.
I could legit tell you every single time a mob is supposed to show up.
But oh my goodness, I cannot play if I don't have amicist
because I play using my controller and I can't fucking aim using that thing.
Even on my PC, I just use my controller
because I'm so used to it.
Because I first started playing on my PS5.
And I just got so used to the controls.
I was like, whatever.
And the way that they translated a lot of the key binds is so frustrating
because you can't even change them.
They made e-couch.
And I was like, who the hell makes e-couch?
I didn't understand.
It was so fucking dumb.
And then they made a tab inventory and I was like, OK, this is crazy.
And I feel like no matter what I do, no matter how much I change the sensitivity
of my mouse, like it just never works.
It always feels super clunky.
But then it's super smooth on the controller, which is what I prefer.
I also want to maybe play RE9.
But RE9 scares the balls off of me because, oh my god, especially Grace's portions.
I can't.
Oh my god, this is why I can't play RE7 either.
Like the first person is just too much for me.
And I get scared shitless.
The Leon portions are fine because the thing with the RE games, right?
Is that they can be scary.
But the reason why I can play them is because it becomes so ridiculous
that your suspension of disbelief is almost immediately broken.
Like do you guys remember that portion in Requiem?
He was on the motorcycle and in a stupid ass joust with Gideon.
And I was like, what the fuck is this?
And he's running from the dogs.
So I was like, this is so fucking dumb.
And then he rides the bike up a building.
And I was like, what the actual fuck is happening now?
That is genuinely one of the funniest portions of any of the games.
And every single time it's so ridiculous that I can just play it and it doesn't scare me
because all I can think about is that scene.
But then you think about Grace's portions of the game.
And obviously she's really scared and everything because she's not trained and she's not part
of the DSO like Leon is.
So then excuse me.
So then it's just extra hard for her to because someone was supposed to speak.
Okay, I approved.
And it's just extra hard for her portion because well, first of all, you can't do any sort
of melee with her.
I mean, like I know you have like the push option, but I don't think that it actually does
any damage to any of the infected.
I'm like 90% certain it doesn't do anything.
I think they should hit their head on the wall and it gives them damage.
Not only definitely make things a little easier, but the hemolytic injectors kind of,
you know, it's kind of like a failsafe, which is really nice, but the resource gathering
is also a pain in the butt.
But that's why I'm like concerned.
I'm like, I don't know if I'd be able to get through Grace's portions for Ariana.
And there's too much like anytime the girl shows up, I'm like, oh my god, I'm like,
I'm actually clinging to her portion.
You can switch the point of view for Grace to be third person in RE9.
That's true, but I'm just like a just a coward.
And I can't handle like the girl because with Grace's part, it's like a lot easier
to get immersed in it because she's scared.
So you're scared.
But with Leon, it's like all you can think about is like, oh my god, look at his arms,
man.
Like look at the way that he's opening his cabinet.
That's crazy.
That's crazy.
The one fighter that is portioned, like they make me sick.
I was playing with my girlfriend today.
And like I heard one in the media and I was like, ew.
But yes.
But yeah, I think the only part where I like kind of start to leave like the, like I
start to get less immersed, but not because it's bad or anything, but simply because
it starts to get into really getting to like the ridiculousness of RE is like when
she went into that underground lab portion after her and she and Emily got to the helicopter
and the whole place just floods with blood.
And I'm like, I'm like genuinely, what are we doing here guys?
There's so much fun.
There's so much blood.
There's so much blood.
So much experience.
He's on his period.
Just this year about a blood in the way it just all disappears the moment she's out of
air.
You have to exactly, I'm like, this is so fun.
It's genuinely so funny.
Oh my god.
Help me.
Oh my god, my throat.
I'm personally a big fan of the Grace sections because it reminds me a lot of Resident
Evil 7 and Resident Evil 7 is my favorite game.
I totally agree.
I love the way that they split everything.
Like even the UI is being different for Leon and Grace was so freaking smart.
I love it.
And the environments that Grace finds herself in are so R.A.7.
I freaking love, like a little bit of like R.A.2 and I'm like, oh, it's such a good freaking
mix.
I love it.
Yes.
Oh my god.
I'm in love with just like every design detail in like any Resident Evil game that's made
with the R.A. engine.
Like the sound design and how everything is so detailed.
It like immerses me so much.
I love it.
Yes.
The R.A.
Oh my gosh.
The R.A. engine is genuinely so freaking good.
Like, I remember when clips of the R.A.2 remakes started coming out and like my jaw dropped.
I was like, there's no flipping way, dude.
And then somehow things got even better when R.A. 4 dropped.
And I was like, oh my god.
And then people started, by the way, my first ever like like, like I obviously I knew
Resident Evil like existed because it was, it's so popular.
But then the first time I finally like started really getting interested was what people
started posting like this like the chain scene from R.A. 4 on TikTok.
And that shit was getting so popular.
Oh my god.
It was so funny.
People were thirsting over him so bad.
And I'm like, obviously like that's my man right there.
Of course.
That was revolutionary.
It was revolutionary.
Especially once people started posting mods.
And I remember the portion where it's Leon and Luis and Leon gets like grabbed through
one of the vents.
People like for some reason were super focused on that cut scene.
And then they would put on like the shirtless mod for him.
And he was that specific scene with him in the shirtless mod.
We just, it would keep going viral every single time.
And then they would crack me up a little bit because I was like, what is, what are
even these games about?
Like it was ridiculous.
It's about yowee.
That's what it's about.
It is about yowee.
I choose to believe Luis actually survived.
And that's who Leon married in R.A. 9.
Oh my god.
Sorry.
Excuse me.
Let's see you guys.
I'm extremely sniffily today because it finally dropped below 60 degrees here.
And the sudden temperature change is kind of fucking me up.
Oh my goodness.
Okay.
Anyway, 60 degrees.
I love when I'm not sick and coughing my lungs out.
Riff.
Oh my god.
Oh my god.
You guys won't believe who's texting me.
It's the, it's the author of Signature Required.
She's so sweet.
I feel really bad because I have been constantly playing her DMs.
Ever since she made a Twitter and followed me.
And I was like, oh my god.
And I feel really bad because I get very hyper easily.
And so I'm like kind of yelling in our DMs.
And I'm like, okay, I'm sorry.
Like I need to calm down a little bit.
I'm seeing some constant commenters of mine in here.
I'm recognizing some names here.
You'll never recognize me.
I just joined.
It's okay.
There's a bunch of people here that I don't recognize.
We're just good.
I'm glad that people are joining.
I think it's because I don't remember what they're at is.
But there was like a Brian artist in here.
And that's how I ended up in here.
And I was like, oh, Brian, Brian.
I didn't say that.
Do you guys see Brian?
I don't know why, but in my head, I keep seeing saying,
Brian.
I said, Brian too.
I think Brian.
Brian is just the number one for me.
Not gonna lie.
I keep seeing LeBron everywhere.
LeBron.
No.
No, no.
No, LeBron.
No, no, no, no, no.
Oh my god.
Oh my god.
Just based on that name alone, people just don't take a seriously.
And I'm like, I mean, obviously it's like just a crack ship.
But you know, I'm like, you know, please.
It's not a crack ship in my heart.
It's not a crack ship anymore.
It's so much more than that.
It's so bad.
It's started making me want to do animatics again.
I'm currently working on one from like chapter 17.
Oh my god.
It's bringing me to life.
It's, yeah, it's that song.
Speaking of chapter 17, that animatic, that one artist named Mal made.
Oh my god.
Oh my god.
Oh my god.
So good.
I loved it.
I loved it.
Oh my god.
I like, I someone said this comment and it made me laugh so hard.
They were like, I need this tattooed into my eyelids.
And I was like, damn, dude, me too.
There's some kind of-
That's just the realist expression to do.
This makes, like, I just want to get like a Brian themes tattoo.
I don't even know what it would be.
