And this tells me you read the description, which means you respect what I have to say! Thank you :D don't date ghosts, just a tip, especially the ones who committed murder

[Nagito Komaeda]

"Ah, dating...not a fan" - absolute master of foreshadowing

[e]

@Eagle Stuff🦅 she also changed the name of the video

[It's Called Gaming]

aroace moment (i'm asexual, so i can kinda understand the feelings (or more accurately, lack thereof) of aroace people)

[JC]

lol

[Stella]

So very true.

[Kepler-22b ⓚ]

yeah

[Kupeart]

almost 14 minutes of pure "Jaiden being an aromantic gigachad without even knowing it"

[Rowec]

7:05 That went from 1-100 real quick

[Kust]

these words scare me

[Sarah Gibbs]

No it is almost 14 minutes of pure Jaiden being a aroace gigachadette without knowing it lol

[Byron Watto]

Not gonna lie, I read that as aromatic the first time, like as in Benzene

[Factor]

Receptionist: "Ghosts get lonely" Jaiden: "I like being alone!" Aroace unlocked

[kyart_xd]

my mood

[Emma Idk]

“can ghosts be gay” -carpetgarden

[Keily S]

True! I love how she came out as aroace :)

[Nuclear Energy is Good for Climate]

I mean, if you like being alone then what's the point of speed dating?

[jhgvjhgd bvedscqz]

@Redstonewarrior0 yes but she IS aroace, as stated by her in the mentionned video just above you

[Jack]

“Jaiden’s not here for kisses, she’s here for *the opposite* of kisses...which is crime”

[minecramat]

Nice a double reverence

[Jake Pullman]

👏 👏 👏

[Tahrae The storyteller]

Honestly, an aroace person being forced to go on dates and instead goes on all kinds of crazy adventures would make a good premise for a...anything really

[Lilian]

@A very good cheese do I kill them or do the relationships not work out?

[A very good cheese]

Romantic killer is perfect for you then

[Lilian]

sign me up

[Robot Plush]

You’ve just given me an idea

[YourLocalDemon]

@[Insert Creativity Here] our aroace KING

[Jose Castellanos]

“I didn’t technically go on a date. I robbed a bank.” Me: No, no, that checks out

[minecramat]

Man id rather rob a bank than go on a date Irl

[Internet Idiot]

The goal of all polycules is actually to get a bank robbing gang together

[YourLocalDemon]

“Are you ready to commit?” “Like a crime or a relationship?”

[Dean Warner]

Same thing

[Moss]

She really did just play those dating sims for the plot, huh

[SubieAsunaYuuki]

Yeah. It's better to play them that way. It's not all about the girls, you know. At least for me the plot has be interesting and unique too and it also must be nothing sexual such as in DDLC. And it's a plus if you can learn some life lessons or be emotionally affected

[Colt W]

@Timothy McLean little did you know...

[I’m a person]

@Timothy McLean ye same lol

[Colton Chavis]

Well… yeah I guess she did

[chrryoblivion]

I mean- I played dialtown for the plot-

[Stupid Idoit Manny Man]

Jaiden: *makes a dating episode* Also Jaiden: *makes an episode on how she is aroace* Perfectly balanced as all things should be

[Rodrigo Rosa]

There are 2 actually

[« Spider Man »]

@YourLocalDemon Galaga ship is a god amongst gods, the finest of the fine, the most beautiful creature on this godforsaken plane of existence.

[sapphire-tinted]

@aycc-nbh72 SAMEE aaa it all makes sense now!!!

[YourLocalDemon]

@Graham Skaggs Galaga ship transcends all sexual/romantic identities and is attractive to everyone

[Graham Skaggs]

Jaiden: "makes video about being aroace" also Jaiden when she sees the galaga ship: "Perfect in every way"

[MasterAqua]

"I like being alone." "I'm doing just fine, thanks." "Nope." "Well I guess I CAN'T be myself." ohhhhh this makes just, too much sense.

[infinityHeart_TM]

@EXYZT You think we can't tell just from a mere glance, it has this specific curve to it that makes it distinguishable from every other black and white spiral my dude.

[Joyce Marques]

@EXYZT the person that wrote the comment has a playlist of homestuck related things, it is homestuck related

[Doctorn Silver]

@Gamefrog 51 wild

[EXYZT]

@Gamefrog 51 dude, not every black and white spiral is the Space aspect symbol.

[Gamefrog 51]

You, you have a homestuck profile picture so I have to force onto you the fact that the Namco dating game was made by Hussie and has dateable homestuck characters. Look at the list at 11:09

[Duma]

Ah, Namco High. The game created when Namco reached out to Andrew Hussie, the creator of Homestuck, to create a video game and he immediately said he wanted to make a Dating Sim with Namco characters. Seeing Davesprite, Terezi, and Jane in the character list still gives me so much seretonin 😂🥰

[infinityHeart_TM]

Honestly I was more scared if anything for Jaiden if she interacted with any of the Homestuck characters and wondered where they were from. I doubt she would but there's always that timeline where she did choose one of the 3.

[LuketheBanana]

“No virtual ghosts could win my heart” Spookypeter: Am I a joke to you?

[Allison Starr]

How could you NOT have a squish on Spooky Pete?

[YourLocalDemon]

Spooky Peter was a PLAGUE DOCTOR COME ON MAN

[☆*:.｡. Ravenna .｡.:*☆]

we stan spookypeter *noises of also a plague doctor lol*

[Arthur Bárbaro]

*Napstablook

[SupersonictheFox🦊]

@Beep boop oh okay

[The Jho]

Knowing she’s aromantic and asexual makes this really wholesome

[LordOfNothingreally]

After watching Jaiden's video on sexuality, her strongest attraction being towards bank robbery and a literal spaceship begins to make a lot more sense, lmao

[miles animates and records]

ay yo

[Xdemon]

Yeah

[I’m a person]

@Chad KuhnYES

[DaRKS1D3RZ]

@Grape guy 🍇 what a weird thing to say

[Keebs]

@Grape guy 🍇 don't be creepy please. It's none of your business

[MemeTech]

I love how the only character she actually strategists for is the ship.

[Uttaran Das]

she did try to get in a relation"ship"

[MemeTech]

Even in the thumbnail

[Audrey go!]

0:05 INUGAMI KORONEEEEEEEEE

[Beep boop]

She started to ship her player character with the ship

[I bleed in pink]

As an asexual person who played Mystic Messenger without even realizing it was a dating sim (I just liked having fun conversations and interacting with cool characters), I appreciate this video a lot XD

[Lyra Black]

Mystic Messenger is a dating sim?????

[Robin Hodges]

Yeeeeees, loved that one

[Kat]

I’m generally insanely surprised Jaiden copied the character designs so directly and perfectly because it’s really hard to do that!

[Darien B]

Fun Fact: Namco High was made by the writer for Homestuck and has 3 secret Homestuck characters you can date.

[Darien B]

@Sky Me I saw it a video somewhere. Can't remember what it was. It was either a Namco video or a flash game video.

[Sky Me]

My question is... How do you know? 🤨📸

[terezi p]

@Raymond42 Vriska has way too many irons in the fire to be at Namco High.

[Bluecho4]

As an OG Homestuck, I still can't believe this was really a thing.

[Raymond42]

I thought "no way that's true," but you can see them at 11:07! :D (honestly, I was kinda expecting Vriska to be there lol) (also the idea of interacting with Davesprite in a visual novel format is quite interesting, especially since he wasn't in Pesterquest...)

[Basilia]

i really appreciate that when you confirmed you had no interest in the dating they simply showed you the door. it's much better than railroading you into the dating anyway. true you don't get to play the game... but you just said that you don't want to play it basically lol

[VeeNee]

"Dating... Not a fan" that aged like a fine wine

[FancyFree]

Or a lovely cheese

[xe is inactive 🦀]

the finest wine there ever was

[Atomic_Toxic_Tonic]

KB_YeEt pretty much, it means they have little to no romantic or sexual attraction, sooo..

[bmgyulvr]

@Wonderstorm why does seeing genshin players make me so happy lmao

[bmgyulvr]

@Wonderstorm ZHONGLI

[Ruthanne Marie]

I played the ghost dating game and Vera (the smoking one) broke my heart..l seriously that backstory is sad. Her daughter was still waiting for her.. alive and you have to contact her on the “date” The grandma lady was so tender too. She was adorable… we go to a nursing home and help her comfort the old people and talk about her passed husband. Precious

[Aino-Kaisa V]

Vera was such a cool lady! I loved talking with her.

[rice pp]

i went on a date with all them and i loved all stories

[The Nerd Beast]

This really hits different after her coming out but hey its actually neat to hear an AroAce's perspective on these things.

[PrOFoRTnItEGamER]

@Mengkukuo what do you mean

[RichConnerGMN]

nice pfp

[Mengkukuo]

@RedHanded NinjaStar God dam, man just... why?

[Gwyn Marie]

Eiii

[Scorch _]

@RedHanded NinjaStar 😭😭

[Hayden404]

Vera (the smoking mafia ghost) was an actually super interesting plot line, and super sad too. I love Vera and Steph, I think they’re my favorites^^ Not to date, but just to befriend. If you progress through Steph’s plot line, they’ll take off their mask, and it’s just some super sweet dialogue :) I think Steph has to be my favorite due to the depth of their conversation

[Aiden Pice]

"When someone invites you to join them in robbing a bank, how can you say no?" -Criminal Jaiden

[ComicPapyrus]

Leon: Wanna rob a bank? Jaiden: ...I was born for this.

[RandomNPC 777]

Ok so, looking back with a time machine. Jaiden playing a speed dating for ghosts and being more interested in robbing a bank than dating anyone is a HUGE aro/ace mood, as well as her platonic attraction for spooky pete because she thinks he's cool, another HUGE MOOD. Looking back on the old videos it's just like, oooooooh

[Cat Poke]

The part where she gasped because he was COOL, not hot, was a bit TOO relatable.

[2ndLt.Sadness]

Lmao true

[Elena Friese]

@leafyfoot I mean, it *is* actually pretty cute

[Eric Southard]

Who would’ve thought the way to Jaiden’s heart is to commit a felony?

[Ava.Fir3]

Same, as a ace-spec woman it really spoke to me 😆

[MorninMichigan]

Boy am I glad I found this to attempt to rationalize my genuine emotional attachment to a video game character in a video game that is actually a psychological horror game disguised as a dating game but has way too many mods including the one I personally prefer because I dont have to deal with one person who in the original game is semi evil and kills everyone Ahhh.. I love video games

[Bobby Pierce]

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh dkoi doki lteratur wooden club?

[Turtle Rock]

Can we just talk about how smooth the animation is.

[Arsalan Ali Khan]

I feel like these dating simulators are a good way to practice love and attraction for people who don't feel it.

[Cameron Henry]

Thank you for reintroducing the world to the forgotten masterpiece that is Namco High

[All54321 Gaming]

Fun Fact: There is an anti-dating sim in production called “I just want to be single!” Where the goal is to not date anyone

[All54321 Gaming]

@TheDrexxus I mean, Aya (the protagonist) is both enby and aroace, so…

[stop YouTube war gang]

Great as an Aromantic ima try and get the world record speed run

[Epillepsy edit]

Feels like romantic killer an anime about exactly this A girl find herself « in a dating sim » and tries her hardest to defuse any romantic situation

[ChiliPepper]

SIGN ME UP I'm aroace lol sounds good

[I8Chocolatecake]

and the main character is aro-ace :DDDD

[Moo Kid]

this aged so well and so horribly at the same time

[Java Cake]

@Mewcureharpr🍡💕 Nah, it’s cool :)

[Mewcureharpr🍡💕]

@Java Cake OH LOL SORRY

[Java Cake]

@Mewcureharpr🍡💕 A few months after this video came out, Jaiden came out as Aroace, for more info you can watch her video titled “Being Not Straight”

[Mewcureharpr🍡💕]

@Java Cake may I ask why😭

[Java Cake]

Exactly lol

[yoymate]

finally someone’s talking about namco high, that’s one of the most delightfully deranged games i’ve ever played and i damn love it. meowkie is bae

[Gamefrog 51]

@yoymate the same guy made both, there's homestuck characters in namco high.

[yoymate]

@Gamefrog 51 i do via cultural osmosis, but i actually learned of namco high because of lolo

[Gamefrog 51]

you know homestuck?

[Soda._.Bandit]

10:46 as an aro/ace myself, this is a very accurate example of aro/aces crushing on fictional characters that aren't even human because we cannot date them irl even if we wanted to

[UsernameHere]

Namco high still had an easier to follow storyline than riverdale

[Beavercrossing]

“No ghost could win my heart” Spooky Peter: 👁👄👁

[Daniel Matson]

Watching this after Jaiden's aro/ace vid is so much funnier knowing the context for why she can't figure out what the correct options are.

[♡sweet_cat-astrophy♡]

Isn't it?!

[Merilirem]

This comment hit me in the chest lol. After Jaden's vid I realized I was almost certainly Aromatic. I guess i just thought the options were always confusing in these games.

[Prime Genera]

Exactly lmao

[Tim ;)]

@Schneckchen Blau frr lol

[Aurantix]

I had a dating simulator phase, I played so many of them and got so good at the dating part that I just started going for the non-dating routes and honestly they are the wildest writing out there XD

[Jasmine.E]

im not sure why, but speed dating for ghosts sounds like some sort of fever dream

[Arturo Aguilar]

The funny thing about Hatoful Boyfriend (the bird dating simulator) is that its silly concept hides a very intriguing and dark lore. And once you get the endings with all the possible characters, you unlock the path that spotlights the lore and the game changes from dating sim to an intriguing, dramatic and dark mystery visual novel... with talking birds. It's kinda genius because the true path doesn't need to waste time introducing the main characters (because at that point you have already dated all of them and know them well enough), so it can focus in the overarching mystery and personal drama.

[Grox Gaming]

I recommend you watch helluva boss it’s a really good family friendly show

[JJDudemanHPI]

This was brilliant, I’d love to see more in the same vein - not necessarily weird dating, just J getting charmingly invested in these most random things. And the clever adorable fun way she animates that. … Which is vaguely what the whole channel is I guess, but, um, more plotlines?

[TheMysticArcher]

Y’know, I thought this video was pretty funny the first time I watched it. Now knowing about Jaiden’s sexuality, it adds a whole new layer of comedy

[Salem The Succubus]

You might enjoy "I Just Want to be Single!!" an anti-dating sim where the goal is not to date anyone.

[Ashley Abdalla]

oh boy!! a game that represents my irl life!!

[pearlescent!!]

okay that actually sounds pretty cool omfg

[Eric Southard]

That’s a genuinely clever idea!

[Zoe Sanders]

Ohh I remember auditioning for that! Probably one of my most anticipated indie games since the VA cast is literally so amazingly talented and the plot is so unique for a visual novel.

[balls lover]

...I want that right now.

[Jay_Banana123]

Jaiden: “dating things I shouldn’t” Also jaiden 4 months later: “I’m aero ace and don’t feel attraction to anyone or anything.”

[Idigam Studios]

"Which can seem appealing to people like me... Who do not like people." Two years ago I might have agreed with this ironically. That is no longer the case, I agree wholeheartedly.

[zablionsea]

I clicked after seeing Namco High in the thumbnail, but the other games presented looked fascinating. Your ability to animate is great, and I always love watching how you bring your stories to life. Fun Fact, Namco High is the creation of Bandai Namco's ShiftyLook initiative, which was created to revitalize Namco's old intellectual properties. It's probably the creation of ShiftyLook that the initiative is most well-known for. Also, Nidia, who is listed as being in "Dragon Spirit" is actually from ShiftyLook's Dragon Spirit webcomic and not the actual Dragon Spirit game. And if you wanted to see more of Dig Dug, there's the Mr. Driller route, where he has a bunch of angst with Dig Dug, who is his father.

[Becca Ro]

That intro (and frankly this whole video) aged so well.

[The Grey Parse]

I can't help but wonder that during Jaiden's foray into obscure dating sims, she ever came across the cursed John Cena High School one.

[Vuk Knežević]

Not only is Spooky Pete a professional ghost with a rich history, lots of experience and a grand personality but he even agreed to help out a fellow dating member commit a bank robbery. How could you say "no" to this guy?! HOW?!

[Ian Taakalla]

I think that so long as Spooky Pete treats Galaga Ship as a person and Galaga Ship is fine robbing banks this threesome will work out perfectly. And it will consider Spooky Pete does treat people as people and we don’t know how far Galaga Ship will go and the Namco High cast generally get into trouble anyways.

[MDLuffy1234]

Spooky Pete and Galaga ship should date jaiden at the same exact time and not be jelly of each other

[average dodecahedron in ohio]

Because galaga ship.

[Cellidor]

When I think of weird alternative dating games, I think of that one where you're a hack-n-slash adventurer who dates their own weapons.

[Braden Woods]

Xenoblade 2?

[TuckyBlue]

Boyfriend dungeon. Pretty good tbh, even if you aren’t super into dating sims, the gameplay is real fun.

[AiTraiMations]

I love how Ari is just in the videos sometimes

[Sitrus Lemon]

Imagine just being a cashier seeing jaiden buying all these games

[minecramat]

I think she got the games online

[moss baby!]

As a huge indie game fan + dating sim enthusiast seeing you play Speed Dating for Ghosts and The Rachelor Made me so excited!

[Katsas Georgios]

Jaiden: wants to play a dating sim to see how dating in video games goes. Also Jaiden: chooses responses that lead to her getting kicked from the club cause her game avatar likes being on her own and doesn't need friends. I got cross eyed 🤣🤣🤣

[Jacob Lista]

“People like me: who do not like people” This means so much more now, congrats on discovering this part of yourself Jaiden!

[Monkey]

*Normal people like you who don't fall in love with cartoon ghosts* K.

[Dallas Jensen]

I think it was a joke about being an introvert not her sexuality or I guess lack of sexuality

[Din]

i feel like this might have been a hint (if she knew this about herself at the time)

[CrimsonGlare]

@Acethetics bbl

[PlasmaKitten42]

I was kind of hoping she was making an extremely based statement about how humans are terrible creatures but the truth is even better

[Gamey Geemer]

The Namco High dating sim was written by Andrew Hussie, which is why it includes three separate Homestuck characters to romance. And knowing that really makes that story seem straight up normal

[Just Nierninwa]

That relatable aroace move of going to speed dating and being more interested in robbing a bank instead, though…

[Sir. Rattus rattus]

I love how Leon's leading conversation was "wanna rob a bank?" and Jaden is immediately on board with the idea

[Blake Stone]

Jaiden: *installs dating sim* Dating sim: "So are you here looking to form an emotional connection of some kind?" Jaiden: "Nope!" Dating sim: "Er, okay well... bye then." Jaiden: "...Hey, get back here!"

[snfmaablz]

As an aro-ace who is loves weird dating sims, discovering Jaiden's channel is a blessing lol.

[Mr. Sandman]

Viewer: "Dating sims, huh? wonder what Jaiden's type is?" Jaiden's type: G A L A G A S H I P

[Melody's Musical Adventures]

@Heartofoincidences agreed

[Heartofoincidences]

She's got good taste tho

[The ROCKET]

My type: [TYPE]

[Wandering Penguin]

Also at 8:31 , what is that voice. It’s cute

[Dig Dug]

I'm just surprised that she's a Fygar type...

[Hannah Davis]

I'm aceflux and gray romantic (fluctuating sexuality that can vary widely and limited romantic attraction.) I do have a girlfriend and date, but honestly could be perfectly happy never dating anyone. But watching this, even though I do date and enjoy dating Sims, is just a whole mood. I wasn't even surprised when Jaiden posted the coming out video after seeing this one 😂 I enjoy lots of dating sims myself and play them for a mix of the plot and the characters so it was interesting to see these unconventional ones and especially Jaiden's reaction to em. I now have a hyperfixation on weird dating sims games. /lh

[Azzy]

Jaden being scared yo call it the black room is both hilarious and depressing

[shadow Storm]

I’ve played one dating sim ever and it was one based off a sci fi musical- ‘Be less single’ is the game title if anyones interested

[shadow Storm]

@THE BROKEN FORGOTTEN AND LOST :)

[THE BROKEN FORGOTTEN AND LOST]

I’m gonna guess… Be more chill?

[stealthbonus]

I like the ghost game. It just went flying off in another direction instead of dating. Always fun.

[Zakdan]

12:40 Still a better love story then Twilight

[Gamesmarts194]

At this point this is starting to become a “Jaiden plays weird games” channel. And I am here for it.

[Mr. random person]

@Vidz the editor payday 2 is way more her speed. It’s full of Insane and downright wtf game mechanics, plus it’s a little bit more family friendly the gta.

[Y.L Ninja007]

@Your local meth addict No problem

[Your local meth addict]

@Y.L Ninja007 oh now I know what you're talking about, knew what it was didn't know the name

[Your local meth addict]

@Y.L Ninja007 Ima be honest I have no idea what ride to hell or Yakuza are cuz I have the intelligence of a Jun bug with severe head trauma

[A Random Rat]

7:56 Ahhh, a game for a specific and rare and super unique breed of audience.

[Kiki Bukoski]

I played a dating sim which was rated 17+ for frequent suggestive themes, but after and update, it was re-rated 9+. The dialogue in the game was simple. You talk to a girl, and based on their personality, there was a right answer. I avoided the sexual ones. And there was this similar game which I forgot it's name. You'd find a girl and talk to her, but apparently, if you talk to multiple girls at once, or have a bad relationship with a girl, that girl would get arrested for assault.

[Vanessa B. S]

I have played like 3 dating sims... The first one I actually got real bored, the only thing I remember is that I chose a guy named Yuzuki Kitaoji The 2nd one was about being trapped in a haunted house that belonged to the MC's ancestors and I was far more interested in that than the whole dating thing (something that ended up killing like 3 people) And in the 3rd one I was, once again, more interested in the plot than dating. I mean, it included greek mythology and being part of a secret agency, so what's not to love? Although the dating part was kinda cool because you could choose either a greek god or creatures like Cerberus or Medusa. And I was torn between Hades and Medusa because 1. Both were hot, 2. If you date Medusa you can convince her to petrify people, but if you date Hades you could convince him to let you torture any soul of your choosing (this doesn't happen in the game, at least not in the part I played, it's just something that ocurred to me)...

[Rebecca Washburn]

I had no idea dating sims existed until i saw the ones the game grumps played and the one they made. I love that you found more crazy ones to try this was a lot of fun to watch!

[Maria Koppy]

I wish there was a friendship simulator.

[Ali Jazayeri]

"Ah dating. Not a fan." That's called foreshadowing

[Chortle]

Copied comment

[Media man]

Lol

[JockeyField]

or maybe she already knew about her whole sexuality ordeal but chose to not personally talk about it until just a few days ago. perhaps it's foreshadowing for you, but not her

[•Crepe•]

Yea probably:]

[Lucia 2060]

@Timothy McLean yes I'm prrtty sure she knew

[Bluecho4]

As an OG Homestuck, I'm still floored after all these years that Namco High has inexplicable cameos by Homestuck characters.

[Deadly Ponys]

I'll be honest.... as an asexual myself, i think i should've at least have had a suspiscion that she was Ace before her initial coming out video, but either way i'm glad and proud that she felt brave enough to share it

[xris671]

love how the most popular dating sim is a psychological horror disguised as a dating sim

[tinglesrosyrupeeland]

When I first watched this video I really got the strong sense of Jaiden being aromantic....turns out I was right LOL The writing is right here on the wall

[KertiBoi]

And suddenly...the connection between Jaiden Animations and Homestuck...gets closer. So close, and yet so far

[Unline]

"Dating....... not a fan" "People like me who do not like people" "But, I do not think I will be casting my line again anytime soon" That, kids, is what we call foreshadowing

[TheWanderingMist null]

Reivynn ...it's not normal to _need_ to be in a relationship. That's called co-dependence.

[alterowitz]

That's a good one, Moxxie

[Long Knoll]

Yes, foreshadowing the collapse of the North Sea cod fishing industry.

[Bamberly]

this is the next best concoction of mixed emotions and funny content turned into a video.

[Eggman]

I love how everyone just looks so unamused with Monika

[Johnathan Castro]

0:14 i love how dating sims are so low ground in pop culture that the representative of it is from a psychological horror parody of dating sims. aka just monika.

[Katunu]

In 11 seconds of the video there are two very popular Vtubers , Korone and Ironmouse , this has implications that are actually hilarious because it does paint a picture of a portion of vtuber enjoyer community who view vtubers as potential dates (which is weird dont do that) honestly that is the best subtly poking fun Ive seen in something since like Shakespeare.

[Hack Jermans]

I’m glad dating sims exist

[DarkRoe The Nin-Bot]

Jaiden: "I want to be alone!" Ghost Receptionist: "...I mean, if that's the case, then you don't need to be here!" *Jaiden leaves the speed dating area* Jaiden: *WAIT--*

[mrMarciniak]

epic foreshadowing

[Nerdy Girla]

I thought she was just being sarcastic when I first watched this but it all makes sense now

[Unidentified]

Lol

[Douglas Camara]

That would be me lmao

[afterlife shmafterlife]

Sir Monster shush

[Anvi]

Everyone’s here talking about jaiden being aroace and I’m here raising my volume to 100% and jamming out to Driftveil City

[Cheyenne Heath]

You are naturally so funny 🤣 I'm always rolling on the floor watching your videos

[000]

“Don’t believe me?? Yeah…. that’s fair” I laughed out loud, not lol’d. FINALLY Katamari getting some love

[Ink Fan]

DigDug is canonically a divorced deadbeat dad in like his 40s in the actual games, so him being principal and not actually being able to date a teenager checks out.

[Emma Avery]

I’m an ace and there are several dating sims and dating-focused games I ADORE, but my top two are Dream Daddy and Arcade Spirits. Mostly because, in addition to their inclusivity, you can have non romantic moments and relationships with the characters as opposed to “ugh, gah, I wanna smash and smooch or gtfo.” They have a story outside of the romance part, which is nice since real life should too lol

[PixelKnight]

Ah I see Jaiden has taken the first law of the LGBTQIA+ to heart. "Be gay, do crime."

[Auxiliooo]

there is a reason we r called the alphabet mafia

[Sans Peter Griffin]

@Little smarty r/wooosh

[sylveon]

They call it the alphabet mafia for a reason

[SaintCeezPlease]

lmao

[SuperSketchy]

Gay can be seen as an umbrella term for anyone in the lgbt community soooo she is

[peanut butter]

Jaiden is the reason why I know and love Speed Dating for Ghosts

[toxentity]

God, imagine if she started with ddlc. Nothing like your first dating Sim being a traumatic one.

Plot twist: she made this video to see if she was compatible with real/fake relationships before discovering she’s an aroace.

Dude! I played the ratchler, and it’s absolutely HILARIOUS! 😂 Season two is out. I suggest everyone watches it :D

I usually date ghosts in Phasmophobia. They are really understanding, but they are a bit shy and don't answer me. The only issue is when there are Twins.

Jaiden simping for an 8-bit space ship is so hilarious to me

[Maliah Willis]

I laughed for a solid 5 minutes when she decided she liked Galaga ship the best

[ThunderBlaze Studios]

To be fair, the Galaga ship can become two ships and turn things into a threesome if they wanted. XD

[gigglymations]

It's me from the future your wrong

8-bit spaceship is hot and we lov them

[Mike]

Hey, look! It's Pepe! 10:49

[Waffles]

The ratchelor is exactly what it's like trying to date most American women 😂😂

[Bette]

I really love this video. Very entertaining! Thanks Jaiden.

"after all the dating simulators: i think... i feel weird." thank you for this quote

[Idiotomations]

I genuinely want her to play speed dating for ghosts again and play the Fran route
