[@BChuckVT]

Whichever mod programmed the Bear head to give it's own dialogue, you definitely made their day with that video!

[@friskykrispies]

I really love the line you threw out at 27:07 "Sometimes risks aren't risks, and you just have to do it." In the context of burnout and struggling to find direction in life, it really got me thinking. Love the content, love what you're about. You and Gary have made thousands of people's days brighter. Thanks for that.

[@evanhonnert1169]

Endless Sea is a floating on clouds vibe kind of song and I love it, Definitely my favorite of your songs so far. Seeing the progression of your music making as the series has gone on is dope and getting an inside take on how its evolved was awesome to hear

[@bbhero1376]

I thought there was no way to top Quest Man but id have to say Endless Sea is now my new favorite. 1. Endless Sea 2. Quest Man 3. Sandy Confessions 4. Bones 5. Last Favor

[@cmac3530]

Can we get a "By Release" Music video playlist at the end? So, all of the songs and the video that plays alongside them rather than having to sift through the episodes to find the video to go along with the music.

[@jakezander3493]

Jim, I just got emotional. After your content creator days are long gone and we go into our golden years, I hope I look back on your videos and remember where I was when watching them and make me feel like a dumb, idiot again. You’re the man dude. If you and Settled don’t work out, I know another man admirer that might be willing to give you a chance ;)

The RNG episode was such a good episode. The compassion you and settled had for each other coupled with the excitement of getting your first fire cape made me so happy. As soon as the song started I started crying. It’s been 3 years since that video and I still vividly remember how I felt. RNG will always be my favorite.

[@Jagrofes]

Sandy Confessions really sounds like a professional song. You could slip that into a RHCP album and it wouldn’t even feel out of place.

[@isaacr7416]

Sandy Confessions is incredible. Always go back to it.

[@Mega_Umbreon]

I loved hearing your comments about Alien Food. Imo he is already part of OSRS royalty alongside yourself, soup, settled, limpwurt, boaty etc. I agree he needs way more viewership than he has. I was first introduced to him via his cameo on JoshIsntGaming's series and was so happy he was shouted out, hopefully your shoutout will bring him the viewership he deserves!

[@average-osrs-enjoyer]

Would you be able to tell me if joshisntgaming is still milking that one melody he used in all his videos 24/7? I had to unsub sadly enough because it drove me mad, even though the videos were very good.

[@fabiang334]

I had not watched a single episode of By release, watched the ds2 episode and was amazed by the quality of your production, and for sure, endless sea sealed the deal, such a good song, it made me go and watch By release from episode 1, currently still watching to catch up to present, keep them songs coming!

[@Solon_Ghebauser]

Don't worry about other series finishing first, alien food will be doing quests for at least the next 70 years 😂 love to you both

Love to know more of the behind the scenes, Been following you for a few years and everytime I don't feel in a good mood my go to series is By Release. Seeing the growth on the series really cheers me up and how you keep on making the series interesting for someone who doesnt really play runescape. Thank you for responding to my (and others) questiones!

[@ramon6783]

I do miss some J1mmy and friends videos. RS Prop Hunt is so good. Hope there are vids like those down the line.

I’ve enjoyed the broad variety of content you have created. At this point I’m subscribed for you, and not what you make. Whatever you decide to do for future content, I’ll be here to enjoy it. Thank you for the enjoyment you’ve brought to my life. You’re a quality human & you remind me to not take myself too seriously, while still applying and challenging myself at whatever I do in life.

[@SinOfWrath6]

I really appreciate your work and the openness with which you show your relationship with burnout and not letting it get the best of you. Best wishes and i hope to see more from you soon.

[@vanity_rs]

Would love to see the uncut quest footage uploaded here or to a patreon or something, the snippets of uncut live commentary were still entertaining to watch and felt more natural than the post commentary!

[@WarbrainJack]

Really enjoyed the BTS footage of uncut/finalised versions! Sounds like you've nailed it tbh.. Record it live and then take the best bits from it, then fine tune it. No wonder the videos are so fucking good

[@hajabulla]

I'd never seen much of the series, but I watched DT2 since I was about to do it on my account, and absolutely loved the episode. I'm now going back and watching the rest of the series because of how well you made DT2. Absolutely love seeing the fun you have in little outtakes with Framed & Settled etc. Also Endless Sea is unironically a banger - I've had people hear me listening to it and ask me who it's by, since they really liked it. Keep up the great work!

[@Chimpyg0ttrix]

Suggestion: upload the actual “music videos” from the episodes for each song individually. Also maybe eventually create playlists/ longer videos for storylines? It can be hard to follow lore bouncing around through the years. Imagine all of mahjarrat questlines in one vid? Or at least a directory, it can be hard to find which video of yours has what quest

[@CptKorn]

Jim, you're a massive inspiration man. Thank you for all the laughs and joy you've brought me over the years. I also watch RNG a few times a year because it is so fun and well structured. It's like a comfort episode for me, lol. Also can I just mention that you look fucking great? You really had a massive glowup over the past few years.

[@hamoudziane]

Thanks for this video , I have to say endless sea has touched me in a really beautiful way It's such a wonderful song full of heart , it's truly a beautiful piece of music.

So good to hear that you still enjoy the series and making content on the game. You're an actual gem in the OSRS community and the MMO community as a whole at this point.

[@jonasvanmaldeghem688]

The quality of your content is definitely up there. Hope you're proud of your professional achievements. One of the only content creators where new videos don't go on my watch-later list. Instead i get my ass home and watch it immediately.

[@fraggnum__9660]

Im glad to hear youve been enjoying by release even through the burnout. I was worried about that not too long ago since i know what it’s like to not want to pick up a game. -by the way, the “hill giant smithing quest” is called sleeping giants :P But but all fun aside, thanks for answering! You gave a lot more insight than i hoped for, and I’m happy you’ve been feeling so well about it all. Have a good one slimjim.

[@thedon1262]

to me it always looked like you have a lot of fun making the videos and playing the game, thats the biggest reason i love to watch, and it always seemed that you are just busy and have other things in life, you never gave me the impression of not liking what you do, i feel like youre living the best your can and have a lot of fun, tx for sharing that in a beatifull format of content :)

I know this video is a couple days old, and I've already watched it, but I just ran into you about half an hour ago in game as of me writing this. You were at GE and I was in such awe I had to say hi! It's super cool you're the third person I've ran into that's a big name in the OSRS community, now I need to run into Soup and Settled and my star struck list will be completed! I wish I asked what you were up to at that time since you were nearish the spirit tree, but I was so overwhelmed with just meeting you that it skipped my mind! Keep up the great content, man! I'm still running on the high of running into you!

J1mbo really going for the reverse speedrun on that quest cape. Can't believe it's been going for 5 years, it's been a lot of fun man good to see you enjoying questing again on the DT2 episode

[@Its_McKennon]

21:20 on the note about dialogue changes to ratcatcers, I think I did that. During the quest in keldagrim, you use a smouldering pot on a hole in the wall, and this prompts a chat with your cat ONLY if you have a cat speak amulet on. I however did the quest after ds2, so I was able to to the whole quest without the amulet up to that point, where I was forced to get my amulet. I submitted the bug report and a week later it was posted in a blog. I'm not sure if that was the change made, but I think it was. Side note, great video J1mmy :)

[@arcownsya]

As someone new to this channel, and the Q&A's, it's really nice to hear you talk about your music with such excitement. I'm a big fan of By Release, obviously, but I'm a massive fan of your songs on Spotify, and listen to them near-constantly. To the point that my partner has started listening to them, and then watching your actual By Release series. It was really exciting to hear Endless Sea for the first time, and the music video was so enjoyable. I hope you continue to make music, as long as the enjoyment is there for you, and I really look forward to listening to whatever they might be! And, for what comes next for you after By Release. I hope you end up making something for RoTM, too! It's always been my favourite questline, alongside any inclusion of Guthix. This question may have already been asked - I'm not finished with the video yet! But, do you have any intention to make something to celebrate By Release, similar to Tileman's Youtooz? I'd love to have something to represent the series like that, especially as someone who isn't a clothing merch person.

Some of my favorite By Release videos are when you were interacting with your friends (swampman, framed, etc) and just kind of goofing off, while having a goal. I'd love to see you all playing more types of games together, if you ever thought of making any content from it. :)

Something I tried back when I was recording streams and commentary was live-recording my audio through Audacity for some higher quality audio; not exactly lossless, but you can hear the jump in quality. I don't know if it would be practical to be live recording through that, Premiere, or another program throughout gameplay, but it could make things easier if you ever did want to blend live audio like you mentioned.
