Let's Play Unpacking - Chilled gaming stream for nice people

[@Cheezbuckets]

The roommate stage is so funny because I can just imagine the roommates going, “Hey, we’ve made sure there’s clear shelf space in the common areas for you to put your books!” and Johnny’s carrying every single book back into their bedroom announcing, “Absolutely not! These are all going into the tiny amount of shelf space above my desk to make sure you keep your grubby hands off them, _Stacy!”_

[@lauraanne341]

Saying you 'live with anxiety' rather than 'suffer from' seems like such a simple switch, but hearing you say that was ground breaking to me. I think that's really going to change how I view my life with my anxiety and how I approach situations and thought processes. Thank you.

[@DevilboyScooby]

Have you seen their TedX talk on mental health and video games? It's a bit old now but I took a lot from it, at the time.

[@lauraanne341]

@@DevilboyScooby I haven't yet, but it's been on my TED list for a while. I'm working through it! I'm very interested to see what they say xx

[@DevilboyScooby]

@@lauraanne341 my main takeaway was the app Flowy, which definitely helped with my anxiety in waiting rooms for a while 🙈

[@lauraanne341]

@@DevilboyScooby ooh intriguing! I think I'll give it a watch soon then. Thank you ☺️

[@lauraanne341]

@@DevilboyScooby I have now watched the talk, and I found it really interesting. Lots to think about. Thank you.

[@candy-scorn]

after spending so long watching the "family friendly" Oxboxtra, hearing Johnny swearing like a sailor is both satisfying and hilarious

[@adambicknell9185]

Johnny steadily starting to arrange 'Pauls' flat purely on the basis of spite is excellent

[@gothmissstress]

How mad Johnny was when they realized there's no other place for the diploma than the bathroom. So heartbreaking 🥺

[@jijiowen8267]

WHEN THE SCALE CAME OUT AND JOHNNY ASKED WHY I NEARLY CRIED!!! I LOVED IT

Re: Falling asleep to your streams -- Please take it as a compliment! It puts you in the realm of Bob Ross and other great humanitarians. I always watch your stuff wide awake first but you are one of the very very few people I can then re-watch in the background to fall asleep to. Just did a re-watch of your HZD playthrough and, in the late evening, I'd just keep it going while I fell asleep and then re-watch what I didn't remember the next day. You're entertaining, soothing and lovely is what I'm saying.

[@Paperiahma]

I second this! Watching this was like watching my favourite David Attenborough nature documents. Because I love them and always enjoy watching them, but if I'm even a little bit tired, they lull me to sleep within 30 minutes.

[@vampyrlady94]

Yes me too! It's a big compliment because I suffer from insomnia and being able to fall asleep to a background noice is rare and makes it special and soothing. Just like you are Johnny.

[@adventurbeth6780]

"know your worth, you beautiful creature" made me cry Johnny. Thank you

[@brendanjellie4495]

Stream starts at 0:47, for the impatient among you :)

[@DysfunctionalCrayon]

The thing about falling asleep to your streams is that I put them on when I'm feeling anxious, and I need to feel relaxed and safe. It is absolutely a compliment.

[@codyphoenix2225]

I've been homeless for awhile and just got into my *own* place. Watching the videos from Jane, Aoife, and you, while sitting in a living room of not-yet-unpacked stuff has been emotional on top of how damn amazing this game is.

[@jupitermelichios392]

Congratulations!

[@SkillsLoading]

Love that Johnny moves into the forth apartment and reads the mood so well that they do all the things I wish I had done

[@daniladragon4983]

I saw Jane and Aoife stream this and immediately bought it myself. I literally thought this morning "I wish Johnny would play Unpacking on one of their streams. Let's see what they played yesterday." It was wonderful watching you play this, you had me in tears laughing for minutes because of the sideways bra. Thank you for all you do. You're amazing!

[@TheExmes]

As someone who was like the Paul until a lovely woman sorted me out 15 years ago, fight the night she moved in, I can say you’re absolutely correct. Huzzah for personal growth. Clear the space guys you’re supposed to be sharing.

[@Mistuh_T]

the last stage in this video literally made me tear up. so amazing to see the character take the time to work on getting everything put together and sharing their space after the experience of fighting to fit into their previous relationship's space. Who new an organizing simulator could have so much emotions!? I'm so glad to have dived into your channel after following you on OXBOX and dicebreaker. Finally here and happily settling in. thanks johnny!

[@merissaj4518]

I don't think I've heard anxiety described in such a succinct and appropriate way. That is exactly what it is like living with anxiety. Thank you, Johnny. You are loved and appreciated ❤

[@chunkywhippet9503]

I absolutely ADORE this stream, it started as chill and ended up being hilarious! The quotable moments, the quintessentially British passive aggression, I love it! This is a Top 10 stream from you so far Johnny!

[@aclevercat83]

Watched both Jane and Aoife play this and they both made sure the feminine hygiene products went in the cupboard. Johnny’s like, “BEHOLD MY TAMPONS!” 😂

[@theyorkshirejo]

Looking forward to watching the last part of this! Such an amazing game. I’m watched 7 different playthroughs of it and completed it myself and it makes me cry every single time 😂

[@Wheat7588]

Thanks again Johnny for sticking around for an extra hour and a half so we could see the next step! Cheers to you and your family!

[@madzthedad]

Johnny, you never fail to make me smile! You're a wonderful person and I just wanted you to know that I appreciate you

[@seanrshivers]

The level of passive aggressive 'I'm going to put your family picture down there" really made me laugh

[@Paperiahma]

Watched this already once and now I'm letting it play in the background while cleaning up my apartment IRL. I'm hoping it will keep me chill while making the preparations to run a tabletop game tomorrow! Done it for years for this party and still I'm always nervous right before a game : D Anyway, thank you so much for everything you do, Johnny! You are an absolute delight!

[@SmerkyRandomised]

Aww, this was fantastic! I've watched enough Oxventure/Oxboxtra livestreams to know Johnny, but this was the first solo stream of theirs I'd seen, and it very quickly endeared me to them, what a lovely human! So much of this stream resonated with me, not to mention that their own playstyle was very similar to mine, because as much as i enjoyed Jane's streams, deliberately putting everything all over the floor seemed much less efficient lol

[@DevilboyScooby]

This game is so hypnotic...watched Jane, Aoife and now Johnny...hell, I'd probably watch the Dalai Lama play it at this point.

[@jbean452]

Watching/listening to this while writing notes for my final papers due in a few days (I should probably be asleep). Love the chill and lovely stream - it is very relaxing to listen to and your happiness whenever something fun pops out of a box always makes me smile. One day I will watch a stream in real time, but for now I'm just grateful for this lovely relaxing stream. Have a great week! (And as someone who lives with anxiety as well, I understand the feeling of "am I annoying?" and am grateful someone I admire is being honest about it. Thank you

[@odhx3209]

Absolutely dying at Johnny saying “this place is tight for shoe storage isn’t it” with the empty shoe rack right in front of them

[@lizh6492]

The absolute shade being thrown at “Paul” had me laughing harder than I have in months. I feel like we’ve all known “that person” at some point.

[@celticdr]

Drainage in the bathroom floor - a building requirement in Australia/NZ... I think this game is set in NZ, the silver fern All Blacks flag gives it away. Loving the chill vibe of this game and the live stream, thanks Johnny!

[@celticdr]

No wait, that's the Story Bridge in the apartment at around 2:20, definitely set in Brisbane, Australia... wonder who the Kiwi is in 2007.

[@Diana-aka-WonderWoman]

My favourite part of this is Johnny gleefully dunking on "Paul". Suck it Paul!

[@annes8655]

Thank you, Johnny, for this video. I've been super stressed out, so this is just the sort of video I needed. I'm adding it to my fav chill watch list when I need a calm stream. You are amazing!

[@strictly1becca]

i watched every minute of this with absolute joy, but i have to admit i was counting the seconds until johnny got to the boyfriend level - and then watching that dangerous silence build as they realized there wasn't anywhere to put our diploma.... oh, i was YELLING in delight. this stream made me ugly snort MULTIPLE times (the ruler and tits sideways friday and johnny hating our first roommates for NO reason and these chickens have butts and so many other moments) and i'm so sorry i missed it live, the vibes were amazing. i can't wait until the last level!!!

[@JWhygant]

The "Are you FUCKING kidding me?" around 3hours in is just such a perfect response.

[@nathan.w4981]

1:09:18 just want to book mark this amazing moment

[@nolongerzombiedoe4729]

another gold moment at 53:15

[@Paperiahma]

I know I've already commented a year ago, but just wanted to let you know that I started watching this again while tormented by a stomach bug and it's been such a chill, comforting and funny video to distract me from feeling like crap. Started feeling better while watching, too, and now it's gonna keep me company while I rummage through my cupboards for something safe-ish to eat. Rewatching this video has made a crappy day so, SO much better (Friday bra comment always gets a chuckle from me), so I thought I'd pay the positivity forward^^ You're funny and an absolute delight to watch, thank you for your videos! I also got my new players into Oxventure: Blades in the Dark (after introducing them to the game in general) and one of them told me that Kasimir became their favourite very quickly.

[@ellercops]

I never thought about how being an Australian while playing an Australian game would be an advantage… but as soon as you picked up the dishwashing liquid and called it oil, I was like “obviously not, it looks just like the dishwashing liquid everyone here in Australia has”

[@matwetton]

May I recommend a christmas song that is unconventional and simply lovely. "white wine in the sun" by the ever wonderful Tim Minchin is one of very few christmas songs that are actually definately about christmas that I enjoy as its about his family and love and that feeling of togetherness rather than many of the twee and annoying things that most christmas songs have.

[@samsmith138]

Johnny you complete beast of a lad! Thank you once again for another chill stream.

[@EhtSetAra]

Returning to this for some comfort. Thanks Johnny!

I love that we all live in a generation where we know that the classic circular blue biscuit tin is actually a holder for sewing bits.

The diploma can also go in the closet on top of the drawers. So he has to look at it every time he opens the closet to get dressed. I rearranged everything of his.

"What if I wanna put my forearms next to the sink and a have a little existential crisis?" I was not expecting that, and idk if I'm laughing or crying now. lol

[@MrMarcelong]

Watched this for the first time over 2 years ago. On a rewatch the comment about the bra for Fridays made me burst out laughing all over again. Forgot about that line but very much made a charming rewatch a thousand times better.

[@TheGamingWard]

"Too many bowls, mate. You can't be trusted." This is how I will judge someone from now on lol

[@abydosianchulac2]

Okay, I also watched Jane and Aoife's streams, so I thought I could have you on in the background while I did other work, checking in when things got interesting. Completely forgetting you'd find as way to make every moment interesting. Poor unfinished work.

[@anniebengtsson8328]

I don't like the side that's brought out in me when watching other people play this game. I love the reactions to the storytelling, but I get so annoyed when others don't see the "obvious solution, that obviously is so much better than what they're doing". I hope I'm not the only one who realized they're a monster because of this...

[@yphre]

Johnny's self-inflicted laughs are the best

It's genuinely sad that you think that. Hopefully one day you'll realize how important childhood and adolescence is. You're not supposed to be an adult when you're young.

Currently watching Johnny get very frustrated at his new flatmates and getting excited about how they'll react to the douchbag boyfriend.

was that pokemon moon??? 👀 it is really honestly sad that i havent met much men or teen boys either that know or are as knowledgeable or open minded about menstrual issues/womens feelings when it comes to even the things that can seem little (such as not being able to hang up her diploma, and paying attention to those little signs that that guy wasnt gonna be a good person for her or to her/not very considerate.) not a lot seem to notice or pay attention at least in my experience, not like you have been throughout this game alone. legitimately the nost understanding dude i know when it comes to AFAB (assaigned female at birth) issues

[@TaniDraws]

Yesss that was delightful - though Johnny is NB (I think? Their pronouns are they/them anyway), it's always awesome to have AMAB people make such a Not Big Deal out of period products.
