Cheers Waifu! I wanted to hit you up on discord for feedback but we weren't friends on there. If you have any comments, please feel free to let me know :3

[@CptGallant]

It's hard to stress just how clueless Xem was until Josh joined the stream. Dude would have been 18 hours deep without leaving Sandover village. Amazing results though for a first day with this game.

[@Xem92]

Damn you don't gotta do me THIS dirty lmaooo

Bruh this video was excellent, and the quality is through the roof! I was so bummed that I missed this stream when it happened, but this was a great summary. Looking forward to more content from you my guy

I forgot to comment before but I really enjoyed this video. The editing was so fast paced, enjoyable, and super digestible I never knew how hard Jak 1 any% actually was until seeing Fire Canyon skip and Lava Tube skip in action. You poor poor soul lmao

Incredibly well structured and will definitely give another watch soon. Keep up the work bro 🍾

Amazing video, i loved every second of It. Its pretty insane how you learnt all of this in less than 12 hours. Hopefully we got to see the full non-cheated run lol

[@Niosai]

I hope someone out there discovered the Citadel skip by accident as a kid and never realized it until watching this video.

[@Dopeskunk]

Not as a kid but my first playthru of the game as an adult I accidentally did citadel skip and it almost ruined my 100 percent run because it sort of locks you out of getting the last 4 power cell things

[@SnackPack913]

I tried to do all the skips for fun and did almost everything besides volcanic canyon skip and the extended off the scout fly in LTS (used debug for those). It was a fun challenge and honestly using the extended/booster uppercuts when playing casual is way more fun for platforming. Also I used the older Klaww skip that involves an extended around the boulder… didn’t know about this easier way

[@denks7849]

I'll say that I think the original thumbnail was more captivating than this new one. I can't remember what the title was, but it may have been spoiler-y, so that might've been a good change. I've barely consumed much at all from the video yet, but the editing and content/script seems very good. I do have a few immediately noticeable gripes with the text work that appears in the intro, however; in my opinion it could use a lot more work, and I think this is the only (tiny) part holding back what would be a fully polished video otherwise! The border color shouldn't constantly change, as it doesn't make sense to the viewer and makes the presentation of the video appear more cluttered than it actually is. Another aspect contributing to the clutter is the text not always being centered. The text should almost always be centered regardless of whether the gameplay content is shifted left or right. I'm also unsure about how I feel about only part of your speech being subtitled in the intro, though I get the idea. My attention to this area means I can't really look at it with fresh eyes. Another important part regarding the text; the bouncing into existence animation is fine and adds quality to the presentation, but it shouldn't be used for every word or phrase. It should mostly be used for the first word or phrase of a sentence, while the follow-up text should simply appear (or toned down a certain amount more), otherwise there is an overuse of emphasization, adding to clutter. At other times there needs to be better "splitting" of words, with not too few but not too many words popping up at once; it needs to be appropriate relative to the speed and amount of spoken words, with emphasization taken into consideration. There is some use of this, but it could be better. Especially in faster moments, the text should simply appear one after the other next to each other to form a full sentence, or replace the previous words. Large numbers should also be in digits, not written words. For reference, I suggest analyzing videos from Swaggersouls who heavily utilizes text animation in his videos. When you analyze it, you notice the nuance of the text animation, and how it really isn't as simple as at first glance. For example, you'll notice text bouncing in from a small size, and text bouncing in from a big size, depending on the context and emphasization. You'll also notice things like when a word gets repeated several times, the text bounces larger each time, and you'll notice in general when text bounces vs. when it simply appears. Those are my critiques for the editor. Stay hungry, Xem, you're fucking doing it.

[@gamerman0252]

I saw a video about skipping this game in different parts along time ago and it was very amazing and intense. And that was before that checkpoint skipping bullshit! So now it’s even more crazy and holy cow how are you guys able to do this without dying from anxiety XD
