Hi

Same🙌🏽

[@LeValdrian]

This comment is perfect ❤

[@5050TM]

Have you watched all of the Forest Co-op? They used to make me so happy when I was depressed! Fun watch still for those that aren't 😅

[@bonbonnie8]

as long as you don't get on his nerves for asking normal questions.

[@ffaeye]

John's British accent sounding like a Gary impression.

[@JohnTwolfe]

this may come as a shock to you, but Gary is British!

[@ffaeye]

@@JohnTwolfe I know. it just sounded quite accurate. Made me wonder whether it was him that you were quoting.

[@frbrbrgrblgrr7777]

Hey John, it's guys, thanks for welcoming us to Flathead.

Love how John is able to ID fonts so quickly lol

[@Nopperabou]

He used to work in graphic design.

[@Ebbsos]

My fav John superpower 😁

[@cringe__6040]

ive watched so much that im starting to pick up on the fonts as well

[@simonhenriksson1254]

All these 'gamble with your life' horror games that have come out recently have been scratching the mad itch I've had ever since I watched you play RE7's 21 DLC and I LOVE it!! Hope this trend continues for a little bit, seeing how creative people can get with these concepts is a blast. Thanks for uploading this!

[@Taekwondorules]

I love John’s reaction at about 17 minutes in! “They give you easy ones in the begin…” STARES INTO THE CAMERAS SOUL

[@warmongerism]

Big fan on this dev. I think the story told through the tapes and the “true ending” are pretty well done, but I get not wanting to play over/under 30 times in a row.

[@ailsatg]

Love the sound design in this game, creepy yet satisfying!

[@girlpaintsworld]

You know it’s a good game when John’s hand is over his mouth due to the suspense 💀

[@thysens]

John breezing through the initial game by just aggressively risking it for the multiplier is super funny considering how much difficulty I’ve seen during other people’s playthroughs.

[@punawelewele]

Nothing better than watching John take on a random horror game.

[@lossmoss7378]

up to you John. if it doesn't spark joy, don't feel like you have to finish it. I like the lore but agree that the vehicle of it is repetitive. It is very very fun to me to see how fast you are getting at blowing through the rounds.

[@Emily-xk2du]

Man, John's luck was so good in the first half and so rotten in the second! The rounds at 48 and 54 minute marks! I really enjoy games like this and 21 too, and the sound design in this one is especially good. The story through the tapes sounds like it's off to a good start, very SCP Foundation which I don't mind, but I like the scattered stories they're doing and I can see them getting creepier as you go.

[@Emily-xk2du]

John: They give you easy ones in the beginning I've noticed- game: *You're WROOOOOOOONG!* John: D:

[@benjaminharmon6541]

The amount of respect I have for John Twolfe is immeasurable.

[@paxslayer2722]

american: British food is bland brit: YOU DON'T HAVE FREE HEALTHCARE!!

[@JohnTwolfe]

They got us there tbh

[@FHNC4Ever]

I'm cracking up at the the arguments in the comments section on bread rolls vs biscuits. I would not have expected this under this video. Contributing here, I'm just gonna say people are gonna have to experience the well-known Red Lobster biscuits, Church's honey biscuits, or Popeye's biscuits to know how different they hit compared to a bread roll, LOL. Biscuits and gravy is soul food. Anyways, interesting game! It's definitely similar to the roulette game, but the stakes feel much higher and the results each round put you on the edge, especially if you get it wrong.

[@CaseyW491]

This game is a fever dream for sure.

[@JacqAmman]

Sitting here enjoying the biscuit commentary. Thanks for this upload!

[@5050TM]

I'm so excited! Thank you, John! Hope you and your family are well ❤😊

[@awesomekittypower]

This was so cool, I love these types of games! I'd watch more if you uploaded another video but if you don't want to no biggie, I might get it for myself

[@beccaeverafter4304]

Hey John, have you played Balatro? Would you consider streaming it or recording a few rounds? I know you've enjoyed card based games in the past and I've found this one to challenging, fun and addictive. Would love to see you check it out!

[@JohnTwolfe]

I bought Balatro during the summer sale and have been meaning to try it. I watched Northernlion play it months ago and it looked interesting!

[@hannarchy6554]

The British accent was funny because outside of America the idea of "savoury bread" is just bread

[@Rabbit-011]

I remember when i went to America all the bread had sugar in it, it was disgusting 🤮

[@jonl7591]

*in Europe the idea...etc. In Asia the bread is either sweet as anything or steamed until all flavor is a distant memory.

[@KrzyKrnG]

If you plan on playing again, I think it would be good to go through the whole help section. I believe there is some info that will fill in some gaps on gameplay. You basically figured everything out, so awesome job on that. Always fun watching you play!

[@naomit95]

Omg John pleaaaase roast aussies I wasn’t expecting the biscuit discourse and it made me laugh so hard. Please do us aussies next 😂❤

[@kingjay7814]

KEEP it going! would love to see another flathead vid John

JOHN AND INDIE HORROR GAMES HEEL YEAH!!!!

[@bonbonnie8]

just don't ask if he will upload some time or he will snatch at you bc you dare to not have watched every single update video ever!

[@liio415]

@@bonbonnie8Just replied to your other comment then I see you here. Go cry somewhere else, he’s done with idiots like you asking if he’s going to upload an indie horror game on his main when he’s stated in 5+ update videos that that’s not what his main channel is for anymore. If you did even the smallest bit of research you would see he has a channel where he uploads gameplay every single day.

[@KitsuBrie]

thanks for sharing this interesting game!

[@therealspacecoyote]

If Gary brings up the biscuit debate, ask him if he knows what an “ear of corn” is

[@PackRatGirl]

Sound design was EXCELLENT

[@pwnagecakes8934]

I do love all your videos, and I did miss baulders gate. Reason being, Im slowly playing with my wife and want to avoid spoilers. I do have a weak spot for your indie games.. ahaha but I will check out your recommendation "still wakes the deep", so I appreciate that monologue you had.

[@daigocore2906]

didnt expect you to play this but I'm excited to watch!!! i loved your buckshot roulette video so I KNOW ill love this

[@Bisqcateer]

The game surprisingly gives that horror tension as you're waiting for the spins but I could not do this for hours with no real change in gameplay

[@piggyluv99]

I love indie horror games that have card/number mechanics! This one was no exception 👍

Retro John Wolfe experience Still Wakes The Deep was great too. An inhuman insensible monster that thrives on oil and human suffering? Simultaneously we've got our personal human drama. Funny that Bioshock explores the idea and failings of free-market capitalism, and now

[@flyingsnail_art9170]

I only just started the video but I’m excited for this! I remember seeing Gary play it on stream and we were all pretty confused but loving the atmosphere!!! Also so funny it made you think of siren head, I remember we were all asking when the flathead screwdriver would turn up lol

[@H0TR0B]

I'd like to express my appreciation for the fact that your criticisms of Brits isn't just "bo'oh wo'er chewsday innit". Yank banter has been improving in recent years. Delighted to see it!

[@JohnTwolfe]

I’m glad you’re a good sport! Many brits in these comments are less generous lol

[@madelegg]

my favorite john bit is when he picks out fonts by memory like a font savant... a safont

[@roramoya]

I was just thinking how much this game reminds me of Buckshot, I think it's given ground to a new genre of roulette horror; feels like an evolution of the FNAF formula (resource management, looming threats, time limits, etc.) while capturing the gritty feeling gambling for and against your own life in the hopes of maybe making it out alive. The rules of the game and it's story, where it exists, is all show and no tell and left up to the player to figure out. I'm glad it's getting recognized and picked up by big players, I had one hell of a time with this one for sure

[@DawnGlyph]

Rightfully called out on skipping the BG3 playthrough. I'll come back to watch it when I've finally finished my own playthrough 😅

[@dotcomgamingd5564]

in my defense I just dont want to spoil BG3 for myself...I might play it later this year.

[@urielgrey]

Awesome! Thank you John!

[@therealspacecoyote]

I’m glad you player this, it was a lot of fun! Inscryption ended up being one of the best games I’ve ever played

[@user-os7ec4dm8x]

Inscryption had a lot more to it than this though,even the early card game portion was fun and hat a lot to it and then it opens into a whole new game when you win. This is higher/lower over and over again.

[@whatastandupguy3050]

Inscryption honestly isn’t very good, unless you’re easily impressed with meta nonsense

[@therealspacecoyote]

I mean everyone is wrong sometimes. In this case it’s you.

[@VelvetKate]

I was outraged when he said us Brits couldn't take a joke, but when he said we could, just not from Americans, I was like, "fair enough, checks out"

[@tomsense404]

Probabilities… For fascinating math reasons alone (so, not to correct you): Probabilities for the individual rounds (by themselves) follow the expected cut & dry probability. However, even with imperfect RNGenerators (assuming they’re trying to be “fair”, when taking previous rounds into account (including rolls from ALL previous playthroughs, or as many as possible), probabilities do shift balance out the rolls. Effectively, adjusting the midpoint of the number range that you’re using in “over/under” by a 1 or 2 wouldn’t be insane. Eg. If the number range is 1-30, and the number has rolled “above average” 5+ times in a row, and 14 appears, then I’d confidently choose “under”.

[@flyingsnail_art9170]

Ah that’s so interesting! Thanks for the information :>

[@tuethebuckshotsurgeon]

First of all, ouch. I’ll have you know, I‘ve also been playing BG3 and once it’s done I‘ll catch up with yours

[@ediapaff8858]

I didn't watch the bg playthrough because in my mind I'm going to eventually buy it myself and I don't want any more spoilers

[@abrahamdrinkin420]

who?

[@CiCodiCadno]

I'm sorry?? What British person is genuinely surprised by fluffy, buttery bread? I'm calling shenanigans, those people are pretending to be British. Realistically yes, we don't have your biscuits, our closest comparison is a savoury scone in appearance only. This is why I call shenanigans. Scones are buttery, and we have plenty of fluffy bread products. Bread is often _advertised_ as fluffy or soft as an appealing descriptor. Since a biscuit seems to be described online as a layered, flaky, buttery pastry, it seems like a more dense filo pastry? Croissant-like? I've never had one so I've no idea

[@witch_bird_jmh]

Biscuits can be pretty croissant like, yeah! Or they can be a bit more dense/less flakey.

[@bugdomrulez]

british people on twitter think americans don't even have kettles or know what one is, so john's probably talking about THOSE british lol

[@CiCodiCadno]

@@KitsuneNoMaboroshi and then we, or specifically me, would point out that our DMFT score (Decayed, Missing or Filled Teeth) is better than yours. You and France rank joint 9th with 1.2, we are 4th at 0.8. We don't bleach our teeth or use braces as much as you do, so you think you have "healthier" teeth because ours stay naturally crooked (as long as it's healthy, as a very crooked bite has long term impact on jaw and teeth health) and yours get straightened in childhood more often.

[@maggies7572]

The idea that a Brit would be confused by the word "savory" cracked me up. I've never heard anyone say "savory" more than when I was in England 😂

[@CiCodiCadno]

@@KitsuneNoMaboroshi woo!! Unironically. Congrats on your good teeth

[@TheMorrigan_x]

Hiya! Welshy here, just wanted to say we do have them here but they are called savoury scones. I love them with soups and stews. Soft and buttery goodness. We also have something similar which isnt baked but made with the stew called dumplings. I like to think we welcome the American bantz. Its just when it's the same ol recycled crap like "bad teeth", much like when some Brits are all "School Shootings" 😒

Scones and American biscuits are literally the same thing, if anything the English versions has more sugar in them. I actually don’t care but when it comes to actual culinary stuff. Yeh. Same ingredients.

[@JohnTwolfe]

You’re wrong but that’s ok. I forgive you

[@EdinMike]

@@JohnTwolfe I’m not Scones have more sugar per serving. But both use the same ingredients! Kisses 😘

[@Laura_5757]

@@EdinMikeThey may use the same or similar ingredients but the baking process must be different cause the consistency and texture are completely different. Think croissant but denser (more dense?) Both sound incorrect at this time of night.

[@mostlyokay]

@@EdinMike fried eggs and boiled eggs use the same ingredients. Are they the same thing?

Love seeing John play these types of gambling(?) games, especially when he gets to sassing the computers 😂😂🤣 Honestly, a replay of Inscryption would be SO fun (maybe after the RDR2 playthrough?? 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️😊)

[@jasminrainbow1213]

an american biscuit is basically a british scone, the base recipe is the same, it only changes with the sweetening and optional flavoring

[@JohnTwolfe]

No, the texture is completely different. They are about as similar as a donut and a bagel

[@positivitybot03]

I was under the impression that Southern "biscuits" *were* scones? I learn new things every day! I guess if I ever have occasion to cross the pond, I should try some, or make my own, sounds like I would like them! As to the British rant, the only bit I object to is your impression of the accent, there's so much of us that is worthy of pointing fun at, I feel like people bristle because of the "self righteous American" archetype, and unlike with our fellows, it feels mocking rather than familial, if that makes sense. Sometimes bothers me, sometimes doesn't, but John getting into one sided arguments with the comments, pre-empting any comment I was planning on making, I just find funny

[@maggies7572]

If you opened a scone and it was soft, buttery layers instead of hard*, it'd be similar! Hard outside, soft inside Edit: I guess scones aren't necessarily hard inside, maybe I didn't get a good one 😂

[@gt1955]

Damn, felt called out 4:20

[@plushbunneh9715]

omg I missed the font talk I was literally thinking about this the other day

[@orreobb]

I really enjoyed watching you play this. I knew going into this that once you joked about something British people in the comments were going to get defensive, not considering you might have mostly non-american friends. But seriously, now I want biscuits and gravy, like grandma used to make.

[@luisperez8325]

you mean like a scoooneee

[@adamsransom]

I had an American scone in LA, and it was good... But very different to a British scone. I think savoury British-style scones are reasonably close to an American biscuit. A scone seems have more crumb and less fluff than a biscuit. Fuck. Now i want cheese and chive scones.

[@maggies7572]

Team trip-tick!

[@slashercritic3426]

JOHN.....HI

[@Illysi]

49:03 I don’t know why it doesn’t really matter how hard you try

[@commanderredjonkks5268]

I'm wondering whether "scone" means something different in the US, like "biscuit" means something different elsewhere? Because I've heard people describe "biscuits" and they sound like what I know as a scone, and then they say "no a scone is completely different"... so I want to make sure we're all talking about the same thing when we say "scones". For example I've heard Americans say that scones are always triangle shaped? I've never heard of triangular scones in Australia or the UK, so I have to wonder if they're even the same thing to begin with. I have had American biscuits at a restaurant when I visited the US and, besides being served with gravy as part of a savoury meal, they seemed very similar to the scones I know and love. That said, my mother was born and raised in the US so it's possible that the "scones" I grew up with simply blurred the line between the two baking institutions.

[@JohnTwolfe]

american scones are different than british scones, but british scones are still completely different from american biscuits. so no, they're not the same scones, but the point stands

[@FullyVoid]

This game is scary in a nightmarish way. I'd watch a movie with that mood:confusing,strangely nostalgic and cold. Love it!

[@carcosa_swamp]

if you really want to blow the Brits minds try to explain biscuits and gravy next time so they're double confused lol

[@positivitybot03]

I guess it sounds like Yorkshire pudding? I think people's knee jerk reaction is to imagine scones and panic (like me). Not that cheese scones and gravy sounds _too_ bad

[@mattperkins261]

Bread and gravy isn't new to us. You have to know that. Like, literally one of the most popular things to eat for lunch for manual workers (construction etc) is hot roast pork/beef sandwiches/cobs/baps/rolls and the meat is always in gravy. Usually with the options of stuffing, apple sauce and mustard (among other things). This bread and gravy concept isn't new to us.

[@CiCodiCadno]

As another commenter said, pastry and gravy is hardly new territory for us. We've got Yorkshire puddings and gravy, we've got baps/cobs/rolls with meat and gravy, it's nothing unique. What's shocking at first mention is that we hear "biscuit" and think "sweet" by association. No one's actually surprised when you clarify it's a savoury bread product

[@JohnTwolfe]

this is just going to become a thread of Brits insisting that, actually, nothing surprises them lol but yes, biscuits and gravy is classic. Kimmy and I insist on taking international visitors out for two things - southern biscuits, and Texas BBQ. Two must-eats

[@CiCodiCadno]

​@@JohnTwolfeoh no, I was definitely surprised when I first heard of a biscuit and gravy! Then when I was told it was savoury I said "oh, like a Yorkshire pudding?" and got my arse roasted for saying 'pudding'
