Watching Jerma play BOTW must be how it feels to be a pro soccer player (or even just a decently alright one) and at your kid's first big game you watch him stand around in confusion when the whistle is blown, miss every shot that's sent his way, forget what the rules are mid-game, try to pick up the ball with his hands and ultimately launch a game-winning penalty kick straight into his own goal.

[@rainbowpandafish]

I straight-up forgot what it looks like when he plays this game. It's sublime it's like a charlie chaplin film.

I still cry myself to sleep thinking about how when the universe resets and we all have to do this crazy dance again, Jerma won’t be with us. 985 was the final one. So much for the “eternal return”.

He's said several times that he'll never play Tears of the Kingdom, so I can't wait for his TOTK stream next month.

[@Naev0w0]

Jerma plays video games that have even the slightest hint of complexity as if the rules are always changing. Every time he dies or makes a mistake he acts surprised, as if that rule or mechanic has never existed before. Every time he drowns, he acts surprised. Every time he falls to his death, after running out of stamana while gliding he acts shocked like he never expected that to be a mechanic. Its like he has no memory and is just experiencing every second as if it's completely novel, and he has no experience playing videogames in his entire life. It is *maddening*

I'm honestly in awe of the artistry that went into this ruse.

Clearly his success was no mistake with acting talent like what you see here.

[@thedub007]

I made a reminder to myself after watching the raw stream to see if when this video came out, the thing at 6:23 would actually be edited. Thank you, you lovely editor, for assuaging my fears.

Oh thank God it's over. That was the most exausting, maddening experience I've ever had watching Jerma play a game. This playthrough probably caused more burst blood vessels in my eyes than any one thing ever has.

[@Nat_the_Chicken]

Since I don't think you're joking, I'll say that I don't understand how people can say things like this about streams/highlights they could simply... not watch. I've stopped watching playthroughs when I felt like they were frustrating me more than entertaining me, it's not like you even have to sever your allegiance to the streamer or anything.
