[@haravikk]

Fun stream. It's a shame Luke didn't make it to this one; with an odd number of players the audience gets to compose hive-mind raps! There are a few other games that let the audience play; Monster Seeking Monster is another one, though that game starts weird and gets Thirsty so might not be Oxbox appropriate.

[@seanrshivers]

was luke excluded because you feared his EPower?

[@Banquet42]

He's still trying to remember the Pokemon rap and fix his beleaguered hair.

Someone in the livestream comments mentioned the bars in the background reminded them of Link's stamina bar (23:04), and as someone who's been playing botw recently, I cannot unsee now.
