KingSim - Choose Your Own Death

[@legendzero365]

"sideways feudalism" Never change, Jon. Never change.

[@connorpoole5706]

"...And your death was followed by a massive great orgy" John: Well that's nice.

[@sotnosen95]

Happiness: (is Jon's lowest stat) Monk: Hey, you want me to make more Faith, Happiness, or Health for you? Jon: Hmm... Better go with Health.

[@TheBreadthatcausedLesMis]

When I first saw this and the different options my mind immediately went to the game Reigns with extra added on.

[@dvdkolk]

Yup, Reigns is really what I thought of as well

[@JPFalcononor]

@@dvdkolk Same here, only question is, is it actually a better game?...it does seem to have more detail so that's a plus.

[@thomasmiller8289]

Came here to comment this!

[@spooky_basil202]

@@JPFalcononor I do much prefer the way Reigns looks though

[@ericvaughn2617]

Agreed. So is this a genre? Can we start classifying this a 'Reigns-Like'?

"Obviously I need to build up my defenses. Last time I focused on holding a court of law, this time my options are defense and holding a ball....... I should hold a ball." -Jon Logic

[@ebarahonab]

Seeing this reminded me.of "Long Live the Queen" which I think Jon would love and I don't think it has been featured in the channel

[@wesleyeberly228]

I swear that’s the exact kind of game I would expect from him so maybe he has.

[@HamisGood12]

The title explains how medieval kings definitely made decisions.

[@JJLiu-xc3kg]

To be fair, most people spend their entire life choosing their own death.

[@Storyteller2093]

Good show my friend good show when you've killed one King you've killed em all

[@Dan-kr9bm]

One of them chose to be drowned in wine. The details dont matter.

[@311connorf]

@15:26 "I've pretty much bankrupted the nation but thats got to be enough cooking military" I feel like this should have been said with the American Jon voice

[@fuzzyfuzzyfungus]

True American Jon recognizes that there's no such thing as enough military.

[@Wyrd-Oh]

I love that Jon went about talking about being stabbed to death in an assassination with the same enthusiasm he would have if she had actually boned down.

[@NoReplyAsset]

lol I love how the Counsellor conveniently has a twin brother who faces left instead of right

[@ASMRaphael]

It looks so beautiful and chillout in a way - such a pleasant change of tone after Death Trash :D I highly appreciate that :)

As a medievalist "a bit of the sideways feudalism" is hilarious xD

[@2011multisam]

Did you just die by thinking with the brain between your legs? Haven't laughed so much in a while

[@jvseventeen]

Store page: "Don't buy anything unless it's an emergency" Jon: "What's that? Sorry, couldn't hear you over my massive military"

[@wsconsn]

Ah yes, Beauty and the Beast, a romantic tale of imprisonment, forced labor, and domestic abuse.

[@PaulZeroSolis]

Good ol' Stockholm Syndrome, the most romantic of all plot devices. :P

[@nobodyyouknow1065]

Just keep your thumb on the page you’re jumping to and you can be effectively immortal since you can see the future.

[@kingofdefense]

When you know she's going to assassinate you but you still can't refuse

[@andreypopov3400]

I know, right?)

[@bjbarlowe]

Jon: How can I increase happiness? I know! A funeral! That will definitely cheer people up.

[@HeroSquirrel]

I mean, in a way he's right.

[@joshuapoynter1590]

Anyone else hurting to have councellor and counsellor both written on screen. Jon as the newly appointed arbiter on the English language, which one do you decree to be correct

[@yay4ray]

I thought Thomas looked a lot like Dandelion, I feel like Therald appearing shortly after only confirms it

[@sweetpeabee4983]

Yay! I love the Long Live the Queen style of game. This was fun to watch, thank you.

[@CrazyReDead]

Well, Jon, now you know how Benny feels when you take the “Black Widow” route.

[@DragonMaster1804]

This is just Reigns with a bit more detail

[@pinewolfpresents]

Reigns, but overly complicated lol I was thinking the same thing. I do like the art style though

[@avery9076]

The most scathing review you could give this game is comparing it to Reigns.

[@pinewolfpresents]

@@avery9076 Eh. Reigns is fine, but it's a casual experience. I don't think the formula continues to work if you just pile on more things to manage

[@justsomeperson5110]

LOL So it's not so much a question of "if" you're going to die, but "how". Love it!

[@vaughnh.150]

Maybe there should have been an option to let the villagers hide in the castle. You know... that's like the whole point of having a castle

[@ulture]

the main functions of a castle are to fortify a strategic position and to demonstrate your power as a ruler.* Keeping peasants safe is an optional extra. *I suppose having somewhere to live also counts

[@Turambar88]

Jon really took Septimius Severus' advice to his sons to heart. "...enrich the soldiers, scorn all others." I think it went better for Caracalla, and he got murdered in a ditch while urinating.

[@5Andysalive]

i haven't seen a choose your own adventure thingy were it was not (frustratingly and luck based) hard to stay alive. edit: yeah, game joins right in. One of these days hell will freeze over and some dev will make one of these games (and it's events) to be fun and not frustrating guess work. Of course writing longer story lines is more work than just spamming the thing with dead ends.

[@Asher.Yodaah]

Sir Brante may be a good game for you to try.

[@5Andysalive]

@@Asher.Yodaah i have the demo in my steam for ages but never tried. will do.

[@ulture]

'For God's sake, let us sit upon our gamer chairs. And play retro adventure games of the death of kings'

[@Brandon_S.]

Jon if you enjoyed any of this you should consider Long Live the Queen! It does a lot of what this game does, but with more polish and gameplay.

[@user-hi4sm3ig5j]

Perfect ending for King Jon the Clueless

[@ashblackmoore5052]

Never allow Jon nowhere near Buckenham palace. There mere thought of him becoming a king (through some weird shenanigans) is terrifying

[@benjutzi5049]

this would make for a great stream

[@Howdyasdo]

I like these role-playing games!

[@EpsilonUnitGaming]

Jon for king! At least the collapse of society would be interesting and entertaining.

[@pepitotmomoix1388]

But painfull… ;)

[@LIA-52]

8:45 it really irks me that the counsellor says "armour" but your choice says "armor".

[@andreypopov3400]

English translation of the first half of the game was done by a native English speaker and one English teacher. But I guess small errors do pop up here and there. Let's just say it was the counselor's pronunciation. Sorry for irritating you))

[@LIA-52]

Well my own thoughts on this are that the king is American, and the counsellor is British. Which would explain this difference in spellings in-lore.

I’ve been around since fallout 3 kill everything,I remember stories about John getting stood up by Claire on their first date. I just got stood up yesterday, was in the restaurant for 45 minutes.any words of encouragement and advice? Ps Jon you 100% done when you get to the disease research facility in subnautica.better get that finale thumbnail ready.

[@Howdyasdo]

Keep going! There are still more fish in the sea;)

[@CharredCrow]

Keep in mind that anything could have come up with that person. They may have had an emergency or urgent thing to take care of. But, the fact that you got stood up and weren't texted or told that they couldn't make it shows that they didn't care about your time. Especially at a time when communication is extremely easy. But don't let it get you down! There are so many people out there available! It may feel rough right now, and you should feel your feelings and come to terms with them. But you will bounce back! Good luck!

[@Elephantstonica]

Stay away from dating apps and churches. Call her/him/it and see what happened, if no good try the supermarket.

[@sweetpeabee4983]

I think it can be hard for people to think about the power their actions have on other people. This person likely had their own reasons not to be there and believes them to be important enough that they trump the commitment they made to meet up with you. Maybe not consciously -- most likely, especially given it sounds like they didn't contact you about it, they weren't thinking about you at all. So don't beat yourself up about it. I will say, though, if you're still interested in following up with them, it could still work out depending on what the reason is. There are some reasons that would be pretty understandable for someone to forget to message you, like a sudden family emergency. And tbh, sometimes, it really is something as benignly stupid as "I put this into my phone calendar on the wrong day." I've done that multiple times in the past, and it is exactly as embarrassing as it sounds lol.

"Lord Helmet, the beam teleporter has reversed your lower body, in order to make you better at moonwalking and simultaneously fighting off pesky pursuers with style. Just in time for you to greet a visitor today - an old friend, who's travelled across the galaxy in his smelly space camper just to get here to see you! Also, he's really helpful! He has permanently discharged many of our most incompetent staff, and also pushed the big red self-destruct button, that we marked with "Do not push this button under any circumstances!" and, would you believe it, it works perfectly!"
