I have a neighbour that has dementia. Whenever I see him he tells me about how filthy his trailer is and how he's cleaning it from top to bottom. When I tell him he's already told me, he just says sorry and usually says something about dementia or he shakes his head while pointing to his temple and goes back to cleaning. He must've cleaned his trailer 300 times by now.

German Shepherd puppies are just as bad, if not worse at times. They are constantly full of energy and ready to go, even at 4am in the morning. They are chewing, eating, pooping, pissing machines, literally.. Anything is open to being eaten, even their own poop and vomit! You also get the joy of waking up at 3-4am in the morning to go play laser outside, even if it's snowing. Oh, and because they can see lasers at an early age, they also, in time, become very attentive to reflected light, so opening a door or moving glass, will cause your puppy to become excited and run around searching for the light. Don't forget if you move an inch on your couch, they will think your getting up, and will begin running around like they have no idea which way is up. Every day, for 3 years, and then it trials off over the next 1-3 years; and to make matters worse, they do ALL OF THIS, with loud ear piercing barks that they will constantly produce until they are satisfied! But, I still love him, lots.

[@chocoboasylum]

When the option to lock Julia in her room with a chair at the door I was thinking 'Oh God, this is the part where she dies in a fire because he's out drinking and she can't escape. And then that motivates him to join the Fire Watch'.

[@Gregorovich1997]

+chocoboasylum i sat shouting "no Sips, it's called Firewatch for a reason!" . glad that nothing became of it.

[@QaRajhCreations]

+gregorovich webb Not sure that "nothing" is the right word here... it affects how the main character acts in a conversations later at least, not sure if more than that, but I wouldn't be surprised if it did.

[@Gregorovich1997]

sure, I just meant that as far as we know not much happened besides different dialogue, better than "you left the cooker on, Julia couldn't escape her room, she burned to death, you got arrested for suspected murder" etc.

[@a.t2103]

great minds think alike!

[@Bluutuber]

+chocoboasylum I have to admit, ever since the bit where you adopt the dog I was thinking "oh god please tell me this story isn't going to end with 'while your'e out one day, your wife, dog and children all burn to death in a fire'"

It's okay Sips. Most Americans couldn't find Wyoming on a map either.

[@ericschmitz2529]

[@xalan6565]

Oh? Not "An evening with Sips" type of game?

[@beckerj4790]

Well it was only the backstory of the game so it wouldn't be much of an interesting evening with sips. The rest of the game is much better.

[@QaRajhCreations]

+becker jalakh I wouldn't call this bad (then again, I like visual novels, so yea). It's building the character that you play, setting the stage, explaining who you are. And considering that this isn't a fast-pased FPS, I find it kind of nice. It also works as a refreshing intro, compared to all the "Life is good and life is easy" intros, Hannah was sobbing through her intro.

[@beckerj4790]

+Qa'Rajh Creations you basically summed up what I meant to say lol I never said it's bad but just showing this part of the game wouldn't do it any justice. And a game with a storyline like this just doesn't suit an evening with sips. It deserves an entire series.

[@kaidendukulis6236]

This game is actually really good once you go past the choices and story

[@Fletchmans]

Its 7pm, and i decided im going to watch this masterpiece of a game again.

[@krisztiantorok3389]

Hello 2023 rewatch 😊

[@OddlySpecificGaming]

why are there so many negative options in the dialogue? ask her openly, move with her..

[@stevenagelutton4322]

+Oddly Specific It's reflecting the character of Henry. He's not a happy person.

[@textheflex881]

This game was amazing, brilliant story. Stick around and watch the whole thing, it's only eleven episodes, but Sips does a fantastic job of delivering a quality expose`. He brings the mood about in a major way.

[@NickSimpson1215]

Sips: "There will probably be another one of these today." Me: *Looks at the other four he's uploaded today* Seems legit!

[@parkerswearingen6232]

"ill just release them when they're ready." uploads 5 in one day. -sips 2016

[@themutantgerbil]

Is it just me or is some of the dialogue writing in this a bit... Choppy? I don't really know how to put it but some of it doesn't sound like a flowing conversation two people would have. Just phrases like "someone should buy you a cheeseburger" and pretty much the whole conversation with Delilah was a little weird from the very stagnant delivery of the killing three husbands line and the line of questioning. I'm not crapping on the game, I'm already hooked and it looks beautiful, I just want to know if anyone else thought that.

[@esco5593]

I know this is very late, but during both of those times where the dialogue doesn't seem realistic, is because Delilah and Julia were drunk at those times.

[@ffeeley1]

Yes, dementia is something that _generally_ afflicts the elderly, but it said Julia was diagnosed with early onset dementia. Sucks, that's super sad. But in other news, I've played just Day 1 so far and really like it, I'm eager to see how you handle it all!

[@IAmTheTwoForks]

Oh, shit. They named it after me?!

[@donny3747]

Ha, coincidence? I think not

[@CptChu]

Now let's see if that depressing story at the start has anything to do with the rest of this game's plot. I'm putting $5 down on it having nothing to do with the game and is just a cheap sob story to "hook you in" to the "plot".

[@jelly4muhbelly391]

Sips always kills the music references. "Me and Julia down by the schoolyard." Classic.

[@yokishi5073]

Watch those fires, Sipsy boi

[@Koughers77]

I love how positive Sips is about kids.. Especially about a dog not being a child's equivalent, it always bugs me when people call their dogs their "babies" & refer to them as their "children"

[@WoodenTurtle]

Oh man finished on release day lol, it's only 3 hours long. Still amazing though

[@adamschneider6866]

this game is creepy as hell

[@adamschneider6866]

Spoilers sum what. Mostly theory crafting. I think Delilah is either imaginary, the antagonist, or is Julia.

[@TheBlixed]

SPOILER WARNING I just love how to game starts with you, Henry going to the watch tower. I never actually realized that is what it was, until after I finished the game

[@yabozoable]

I hate firewatch.... probably not many know what im talking about.

[@AlecazamAlecazam]

Oh thank the divines, thank Talos, sips is playing firewatch!

[@hvytrooper]

Does watching this make anyone else realize Sips is probably a really good Dad and Husband? "Macaroni and wine can fix a lot of things but probably not that". Profound.

[@Zavrion]

Early onset is very much a real thing. My mom started developing frontal temporal dementia(FTD) when I was a teenager whereas she was 49 or so.

[@MrSquishedsquashed]

It's pretty fun, it's pretty short, dialogue and atmosphere are great...

[@Xanthanarium]

me and Juila down by the schoolyard fucking killed me

[@seedybiscuit]

I just finished this game, It is really good. In fact while playing it, I thought "god, Sips needs to play this". My prayers have been answered!

[@KapteinFruit]

I'm not sure if I want to watch your videos of this game, because it seems really good. Just what I've been looking for. I heard the ending was meh, but I don't play games for their endings anyway. Great video :)

[@MrJimmyBanks]

Fuck this game, covers nearly ALL of my big breakups... "Do you want to have kids?" I said why rush? She didn't agree and left eventually She comes home drunk WAY later than expected, I argued about it being suspicious, she left me for that guy about a week after the argument Girlfriend and I are going very different directions with our careers, we split up because of that soon after job opportunity Don't have any clue what this game is about, but fuck me it has triggered all of me tonight...

[@Kags]

Cheeezus Christs Sips. You just uploaded like 10 videos in a day and a half @_@

[@FreedomChimp]

Play and upload ASAP.. watching some other play through and would prefer to watch yours if you get up to speed :)

[@ThePegasister]

This story really really broke my heart. It's so sad because we never really know what our future holds. If I had to experience what Henry did with my partner, I would be crucified. 😭

[@EliasVergsen]

Be careful of Delilah. If she offers you a Cheeseburger reject it. You know what happened the last time.

[@cheesebobguy2946]

Sips I. Can't give a decent reaction to This video because I won't be caught breaking the law!

[@douglasthepug2292]

I was about to buy this game but wasn't sure!? Sips can you read my mind? xD Thank you!

[@xLothCat]

Enjoying this sipsy! Looking forward to watching you play it c:

[@ezzoj1]

Sips I am supposed to go teach.....how can I leave for work when this comes out now?!

[@puls3fusions]

Indulged you say Chris..Man 1980's what a time ;D I'm 19 so sheeeeeeeeet

[@PresumablyTunes]

this is fucking depressing dude... I looked like oooooh Sips! but nah, sad sad sad :(

[@nethy6]

I wanted this fucking job...but the government in my country is not accepting any new people for it in the past 5-6 years. The cheap bastards are even forcing those that do this kind of work to postpone their retirement. And they really needed plenty new blood to help them out. The country where saving private banks from bankrupcy, giving 150% raises to people who already earn 10 minimum wages in public jobs doing nothing and middle class pays higher taxes than the rich due to all the tax evasion.

[@5Andysalive]

i loved the game. But its a special one. Its an explore'em up with a difficulty level of about -16. And a short one 6hrs for me.. With an Intro part completely unlike the rest of the game. A lot more gameplay then Dear Esther but still kinda in that area.

[@shri03992]

I'm a bit disappointed. I thought this was gonna be a simulator style game with Sips in his home land flying a plane around, trying to extinguish forest fires in the Rockies..

[@Gavinprior1]

Only a couple of minutes in and already decided i do not want to watch and experience the game first hand, it looks like it will be such an interesting and amazing, just my type of game. Sorry sips, massive fan, but il watch your videos after!

[@scottlamberton9587]

I remember the hype everyone had for your uploads while playing this. Think you had to upload multiple times a day to satisfy everyone lol.

[@thetgomes6322]
