[@emberwolf3405]

Watching your videos is like playing VA-11 HALL-A: a bunch of subplots that make up a whole story. Your videos always make me discover something new about a game and about both you and myself. Top tier video as always.

[@AVTT13]

Oh hey, I didnt know who this channel was, I just clicked a random vallhalla video just to be pleasantly surprised at the end part of the video youre the same guy of the random sea of stars video I watched a while ago, great job summarizing the appeal of vallhalla man, congratz on 100k!

[@AVTT13]

also keep up the good job, I've only watched these 2 videos I mentioned and Im not too big on ff14 so I might become a weird part of your audience that watches your channel for every non ff14 content

[@flamatar6083]

Started watching with the FFXIV videos, sticking around because of the variety. Always pleasant seeing another of Chair's videos showing up

[@luin6788]

yeah. based. not all change is for the better, but no change is a waste. ur honesty and voice have kept me around.

[@random-numbers]

Somehow this escaped my algorithm entirely, even with the bell. I'm setting it to "All" now, hopefully your next videos won't be missed! Glad to see you covering a favorite VN of mine.

[@Thirtyleven]

what an intersection of my interests, the best vn ever and malformed seating

[@GreatRusio]

It's great but its not even close to the best. Definitely unique for the bartending part but this medium has a lot of stuff you should go read There are sites to directly see how VN fans rate them and VA-11 HALL-A places within the like 150-300 usually to put into perspective.

[@marcusaaronliaogo9158]

@@GreatRusiothe only thing the others need to be the best is to have Miki

[@Scerttle]

ngl this video didn't show up in my sub feed, only came back to watch it when mentioned in the new 14 vid. I loved Valhalla and honestly I wish we got some solid news on the sequel.

[@Scerttle]

24:00 oh that explains it lmfao

[@garrettsweet9826]

VA-11 HALL-A is such a special game. My time through and learning about Jill and the patrons was some 4 or so years ago now. I think I'm gonna have to replay it while my motherboard is fried, feels like a perfect SteamDeck game. Also, I agree, Dawntrail was fun. Some issues with it but the bois and I did it the first 3 and a half days of early access, and having an adventure with the bois? That's amazing. We were hooked all MSQ.

[@SuperCrazf]

Even if this video didn’t do very well, I say, with all honesty, that this is my favorite video of yours. Thank you so much for making it

[@SquidLips413]

The personal story in this one hit really close to home, especially since there were an eerie number of similarities. I'm glad that you are pursuing something you enjoy and that you aren't letting it turn into something miserable.

[@JalisR]

Grats on becoming real, whatever that entails.

[@muhammadhashimmalik2969]

Subscribed the moment trails was mentioned.

[@cirokuma]

i'm gonna say grats on 100k nonetheless because it's still a crazy milestone. i'm very happy to see a va11-halla vid, considering how much you've referenced it in your other vids thus far. i'm also glad you liked dawntrail--it's divisive but if you had a good time, that's great. cheers!

[@moisesger]

I really liked how deeply this game related to me. I'm glad you decided to cover this gem.

[@vatodude]

Yeah, I had a job at age 18 where I was making as much as my dad and always had excessive spending money but I hated it. I quit after less than a year. That decision to quit changed my life for the better and I've never looked back. I hope it works out for you 🤞

[@dc8836]

I'm glad you're doing content that interests you, rather than soullessly churning out Content(tm) to feed into the almighty algorithm. The jong video is where I learned about you and it's still my favorite video of yours, but I put down FFXIV after completing Dawntrail and don't really game on my phone so... idk where I'll get my jong in, now. Thanks for explaining the thing with not notifying subscribers. I was always really confused with how I'd just randomly see a new video of yours on my front page but never receive a notification for it.

[@travis_biscuit]

Been listening to this soundtrack for years, really need to get around to the game that's been hibernating in my library. Cheers to becoming the one true Misshapen Chair through the authority of Google btw.

[@brettrichards4048]

You know, i might finally play this game now that ive been sitting on forever. You've really sold it for me.

[@mightysurtur752]

Seriously though chair congrats on 100k. Here to watch and support whatever content you make -Ragathiel

[@kfk4441]

Sure I discovered the channel because of that one video that exploded, as I am a FFXIV player. But really I stayed because of the kind of humor used in the channel, it's entertaining to me trying to piece why the background video changed to something else than what you're talking about, usually is to remark something, it's like those sudden screens in Monogatari. Also it's fun to see Nekopara in some way in so many videos so I'll keep watching, I hope the future of the channel is bright, I want more content. ... .. And thank you for the orange juice video, I managed to infect my 5 friends with that game and now we play it on fridays.

[@undeadNova]

would love some "Golden Sun" mentions. old gba/nds jrpg with a great magic and class system. my all time favorite game series, if you ever want to try it out.

[@VellusTerennia]

I had to specifically seek this video out, but I had a good time xD

[@evillaust5839]

great vid man

[@negeo1234]

I love your videos!

[@Hikariinu124]

this game is a special one. Ive only played it once but I still have a very pretty jill wallpaper on one of my monitors. I might need to re-play this game eventually.

[@TheThandres]

god damn the trails music in the background this time was used excellently :D

[@tdude0175]

Base of the titans is my favorite song

[@charlottesice1401]

that was a pretty sweet video

[@shd_samurai9676]

Wasn't notified of this upload, btw

[@_kalia]

Came for the FF14, but stayed for everything else. Been loving your recent videos and this one really has me wanting to take my gf through VA-11 Hall-A

[@EvolutionMeister]

I'm reminded of just how damn good this game was. Still waiting on the sequel.

[@Keykey70]

[@perfectzerord]

Hey barkeep, get I get 100% orange juice?

[@tarzanski]

Nice video mr chair man

[@reallightfield5314]

Talking of college, convenient how a chair video pops up while i need to figure out numbers.

[@madcap6438]

Damn i did not know peak dropped a month ago

[@CorrosiveFox]

I just want you to do what you want D: Thanks for the VA-11 HALL-A video, Jill be cute

[@sundalius]

Thank you for sharing this, Chair. The Vallhalla parts are pretty good too. A Piano Woman, please?

[@FabledTriple]

My guy.... 18:29 fucking killed me

[@marcusaaronliaogo9158]

We should make lilims real tbh

[@mrnoob-333]

So that why i never get notifecation for new videos ....sad i like all your silly videos

[@charizardgamez447]

based video on one my favorite games

[@marcusaaronliaogo9158]

Wish lilims are real because robo people who have actual empathy are cool

[@planescaped]

This game always reminded me of Papers Please in a way.

[@marcusaaronliaogo9158]

tbh papers please is like a judge putting peoples lives in danger while va11halla is like an oasis in a horrid desert

[@CurrencyChampion]

the most video of all time. anyway if you don't think dt trial 2 is the tightest shit we can never be friends I kid, of course. Keep on keepin' on, Chair. It's just my opinion, but you do good work out here.

[@MrDay-vb7xv]

frfr

[@usuario-vl2or]

good thing the writer showed some restraint back in 2016 it's kind of hard to "play" this game nowadays with certain things in mind but all in all it was a fairly positive experience 👽

[@dust7001]

Congrats on 100k good traveler! I got bored of FFXIV some time ago, so personally I am here for your non FFXIV content. Side note, Vanilla is love.

[@marcusaaronliaogo9158]

I love Kira Miki

[@zappysap2713]

YEAHHHHH

[@KhionePheonix]

Ayo its my fav vn

[@criminalsen2441]

Hearing about youtubers losing subscribers over trivial things (for example, making videos that arent the same exact topic they subscribed for) is kinda wild to me. Is it really that horrible and obtrusive? Cuz I've been watching a ton of KZbin for like.. over a decade now, meaning I have more subscriptions than I could ever hope to remember, and I've never been bothered by stuff like that. I only ever unsubscribe for one reason: i hear the creator say something bigoted. I guess James Somerton is the one exception to this rule bc I was wholly unaware of his whole... (insert curseword).. until the hbomberguy video I'm rambling. I don't even have a point to this. If you dont like seeing videos pop up that Aren't For You, it's not my place to judge. I just know that 99% of youtubers are broke and overworked, so I deal with a few off topic videos on my feed here and there lol

[@renny7581]

Well good luck man from a non ff14 viewer I hope your video essay content propels you into stardom

[@TalysAlankil]

Hi! coming from the new samurai video because i thought it was weird you mentioned a vallhalla video that i hadn't seen even though i definitely would have been interested and checked it out. anyway, i'm watching your update segment and i just wanted to say that while I understand your reasoning for hiding your videos from the sub feed, i just thought i'd mention that i personally hide all youtube recommendations because i was tired of being shown ads or clickbait when i wanted to see the stuff from the creators i'm actually subscribed to. so between that and your strategy, well, i'm basically missing out on your stuff. i'm not asking you to reconsider, i can figure out a system for myself, i just thought i'd let you know that counting on recommendations to keep a dedicated viewership is maybe not ideal? or maybe my situation is too atypical to count idk

[@ReluctantReader]

as much as I liked your sea of stars vid, you're right, being able to focus a channel on that type of video would be impossible or maybe just unbearable. With that said, it would be cool to see a video of you talking about sakuna or other jrpgs you've played.

[@diomarkov2794]

why does the name say "VA-11 Hall-A *Type* VN?"

[@paz8723]

Valhalla is in that unfortunate spot of being the favorite VN of people that really really hate VNs for no good reason (because theyre japanese)

[@marcusaaronliaogo9158]

What does this have to do with this review?

[@mocmeo4425]

I will be honest, i thought this would be a review of a game similar to vahalla, i'm a bit disappointed dawg tho thats just because i trust your recommendations enough

[@GusPagan]

you are overthinking things by a long shot, malformed bench

[@silversoul0658]

I have mixed feelings about this new arc. It focuses a lot on Chair's character and not the cast of characters of Nekopara or even Gillian who we've grown attached to by this point. There's also the pacing situation in the story, it's questionable the last third of this expan- I mean arc, it came out of nowhere and has nothing to stand on. However, the moment where Chair talks about himself... you can feel that the writer behind it really put his heart into that part of the script, my honest praise. In the end, I can say that I liked Chair's character, much better than that... furry thing that wants to be hokage and the unsuccessful attempt her story had. I'd rewatch this Misshapen Chair arc before I'd replay El Dorado story. 100,000 times more, in fact. But maybe I should talk with three persons to make sure I made this text larger than it has to be just because. All this to say, keep it up. We like your suboptimal videos.

Worthless trite reddit game
