Once I Start I Can't Stop in DARK SOULS

Secret Sleepover Society is every Sunday & Wednesday at 9 pm ET www.twitch.tv/secretsleepoversociety

[@theomegajuice8660]

Man, I can't wait to see how much further a Dark Souls veteran like Jacob can get in another 2 hours after doing basically half the game in the first stream!

[@Thomas-dk6fr]

considering he did really good on ornstein and smough in the first stream, i bet it takes him one or two tries!

[@bagandbroad]

@@Thomas-dk6fr if there’s one thing we can count on in this crazy world, it’s that he definitely beat them.

[@BenDavisSkydiving]

... oh no. He doesn't. He doesn't kill them does he? Oh no.

Inside me are two wolves: one that feels so bad for Jacob, and one that has maybe never laughed this hard in my life. It just kept going.

[@erikwillms2387]

My weird habit is distractedly checking the first comment or two when I start the video (gotta make sure they're there? Who can say), but reading your comment entirely out of context makes me feel like there is a reason for this habit.

[@georgecooper9766]

Jacob horse mostly just sits in the crack between my mattress and the wall as a decorative thing that stops stuff falling down there but last night i was having period cramps while asleep and woke up curled around Jacob horse lol. Was also using him to elevate my ankle when i broke it two months ago. A surprisingly useful horse.

[@dragonwithamonocle]

I don't even have a uterus and I think you just sold me on buying one ROFL fr tho hope you're feeling better

[@georgecooper9766]

​@@dragonwithamonocle It's gonna get worse before it gets better (🥲) but enjoy your Jacob horse! I've also brought him to a medieval themed party as my steed so he also makes a great party guest~

[@spite_cadet]

I felt bad seeing Jacob getting so frustrated, but I truly love all his Dark Souls streams. He gets so excited talking about the world and the game play; it's infectious. Dark Souls became one of my comfort games thanks to him and Julia. I hope he does take us back to it again at some point (maybe on a different run), but until then I'll be looking forward for next stream

[@raineykins]

Being the person who made the Jamiroquai joke, and having that be the title card makes me so happy, you have no idea. Thank you Jacob for not giving up for a whole 2 hours

[@LoanRepresentative]

Don't worry Jacob, I have 100% every souls game, I have literally done everything you can do, all without guides, and during one for fun run I just _couldn't_ get past the four kings But oh, artorias? First try, Kalameet? First try, Manus? Hitless It's... insane how it just becomes sometimes

[@schuepbachr]

Re: Drawtectives: It's amazing. And also, the amount of actual hours that goes into it is bonkers. CR and D20 both have dozen and dozens of people working on the thing, and the story is improvised and edited by dozens more people. You're 4-5 people, one of whom does all the assets, story boarding.... You do a lot of work, and the fans love it.

[@BenDavisSkydiving]

Woah! Guys! I just noticed the full captioning you've got on these! That's awesome! For a VODs channel? Full captioning? Awesome.

[@BenDavisSkydiving]

God it's even colour coded in what I assume are colour-blindness-friendly colours!

[@SecretSleepoverSociety]

As friendly as I could make them without being eye-strainy. Technically out of spec for captioning, but the recommended colors felt too bright. We've worked hard trying to make our videos watchable by anyone. -Khaztaroth

[@SnazzyMoa]

Why does it make the video so much cuter 😭

[@spandytube]

The ultimate Dark Souls couples experience happens when Julia is talking about something normal, Jacob interjects with sudden profanity, and Julia pausing not knowing how to react.

[@Obmelg]

Did you guys know that Dark Souls backwards is "SLUOS KRAD" ? Wow. Amazing.

[@NR-xq8rl]

38:47 Jacob: "Ornstein is being normal and Smough is like a turbo-genius" *Ornstein stabs and kills him through a solid pillar*

[@NR-xq8rl]

Realistically, though, it is so fun and incredible to see Jacob play this game exactly like Julia. Meaning he will not take his own advice and adapt his playstyle/kit to suit the bosses he is fighting. He is madly determined to just beat it exactly how he wants, and will not budge. 10/10 content.

[@scarmiglionee]

not the jamuroquai “virtual insanity” set as the thumbnail background lmao

[@bagandbroad]

I didn’t notice that, agghh

[@Ingestedbanjo]

@@bagandbroad I'd just watched the music video last night a bunch of times (the dancing is so satisfying). It's the reason I clicked on the video haha.

[@spilledink849]

I know right, I've never had a thumbnail make me laugh out loud before

[@espinacasable]

This is for no one but *Clasping buff hands meme with "Jacob" in one side and "soyapoya" on the other, and in the middle it says "using the overhead attack that's very narrow and missing their attacks, on a weapon that's known for having really good sweeping attacks with incredible range that would've definitely hit on every occasion that the other attack missed"

[@espinacasable]

But I definitely get Jacob, I've played the game up to o&s so many times cuz I just get bored with what's after that I just start from the beginning, so it feels like the boss I should know best, but sometimes stuff's just not clicking

[@dragonwithamonocle]

After watching Julia's playthroughs where she just decimated everyone almost first try, and Jacob's time-honed well-practiced fights... It's really nice to see some really relatable good old-fashioned "Doormamu I've Come to Bargain" bash-your-head-against-the-wall dark souls. I got to see all the phases of hitting a wall boss that I've gone through, in DS, Elden Ring, AND ALSO Armored Core 6. And like, I know how stressful this is when it happens, and I really relate to it, but it also made me feel really seen and validated that these fights ARE really hard and even well-seasoned pros can struggle with them sometimes. It just sets a more realistic standard and I appreciate that.

[@NickCombs]

Jacob will make a wonderful grandma

[@mrrd4444]

Jacob talking to Julia about her insecurities around Drawtectives is so funny because I relate very hard to Julia but also Jacob is simply correct

laughing so hard at the virtual insanity thumbnail, im so glad this exists bc ornstein "jamiroquai sliding" was cracking me up when i saw this stream live

[@tahlialysse]

Without hashing out the specifics, "in" and "on" can kinda seem weird in their usage if you step back because both of them have a bunch of largely unrelated ways in which they can be applied, so sometimes they will overlap and you could use either for the same thing...and other times they don't and you can't. Most folks think about them both primarily as relational prepositions - ie the parts of their definitions that talk about the physical relationship between objects "in a box" "on a box" - but there's also a ton of usage cases that are abstract - ie "in love" or "on time." So sometimes a usage case might *seem* like it's referring to the physical relationship between objects, but the reason for using one of these might have more to do with the abstract applications. So a cat can be "on a lap" because it's physically located on a lap, but a can can also be "in a lap," because they are within the abstract concept of "a lap." To give an easier to grok set of examples, someone can be "in a seat" because "seat" is a more abstract noun describing the function of something, but "on a seat" feels worse to say, though it still works as long as you think of a seat as a specific concrete object. Meanwhile an object can be "on a chair" but you have to personify the object for it to sound okay for it to be "in a chair." Anyway, my goal isn't to fully expand on the nuances at play here, mostly to show that there's often a lot of implied context even when using either option technically works, and that it's pretty common for native english speakers to never think about these implications, but use them appropriately anyway haha. That's why one or the other might sound fine but slightly weird in some contexts, sometimes one or the other might just sound completely wrong, and why there can even be disagreements between individuals on which to use for a scenario, because ultimately it's all those extra bits that are being argued over, even if neither person really realizes where the disagreement lies. So, Julia might be "on a line" because she and other Long Islanders view lines as a physical thing, and so they are "on" that physical manifestation of the line. But most other Americans would think more of a line as an abstract concept, so being "in a line" makes more sense, since those people are participating in the function of being lined up. Do I know for sure this is where the divide lies for this instance? No, but it's at least a plausible explanation that would track for why there might be this type of divide. A long islander can weigh in if they know more about how they're viewing lines haha.

[@annikan42]

This is absolutely fascinating and I appreciate you

[@snekysneks]

noticed your use of the word "grok"

[@requiembeeblebroxx]

yaaaas delicious linguistics knowledge

[@guitarguyjones]

I sure hope somebody in the chat reminds Jacob that he can kindle bonfires to get more flasks.

[@the_void]

Yeah, @1:56:56 they mention timing out the chat because they keep suggesting kindling & leveling up the weapon. Jacob address the leveling & clearly does not want to kindle. I would say, just don't play dark souls or any FromSoft game this way. If someone is struggling with Promised Consort Radahn for instance, I would recommend engaging more with the mechanics of the video game to make it easier to beat that boss. Players should beat their head against a wall in frustration and instead be willing to pivot and change their builds, weapons, level more, etc. & eventually the boss will fall.

[@Stellar_Excavator]

I love when someone on Drawfee/SSS talks about new music because they've yet to mention a song or artist that I didn't add to my collection. I have been getting tired of a lot of the music Spotify keeps putting in every playlist, so throwing in something new helps refresh it.

For the cat "in" your lap thing. My thought is because the lap becomes like a cavernous space your cat can occupy or enter. If the cat doesn't nestle in and just kinda on top of your thighs, then they're "on" your lap.

[@Screaminglyjolly]

Dagnabbit, I love a self imposed challenge; but seeing Jacob run with only five estus, a dress, and a farming implement, and then berate himself for not being good enough for not acing the gruesome twosome is kind of heartbreaking. Either do a super-challenge run OR expect to ace everything, don´t do both!

[@mou-lou]

You have truly outdone yourself with this thumbnail Khaz

[@valveillen]

regarding the aphantasia topic, as someone who only recently realized that i have aphantasia, i have been able to develop decent artistic skills haha despite it. of course i always tried to understand why my art journey felt harder than my friends, but i never let it hinder me from pursuing art. i think it's true that people often self-limit more than others limit them. if you love doing something, you will find ways to do it regardless of how difficult it is!

[@jakubmakalowski6428]

3 chapters of a webcomic in one sitting? No wonder July’s is in pain by the end.

[@caboose9339]

I know they don't really keep up with previously played games, but anyone know if either Jacob or Julia have expressed any interest in returning to Core Keeper?? 1.0 came out a bit ago and I think itd be a pretty fun co-op experience with their friend group, or just the two of them

23:08 - THAT'S the best thesis right there! That which exists is not equal to that which can be. A label is meant to be THE START of a conversation, not the end of one. Everyone is different, the map is not the terrain, etc etc other metaphors here XD

[@ToweringToska]

I do not relate to Jacob's decision not to win during this stream, but I know that Julia relates to it, so it was at least nice seeing him with a creature who understands his decision.

[@lorenzogarompolo8074]

Loving the new album on spotify! I've listened to Baseball Bat so many times! Edit: also, in the last two days I've spent 4 to 5 hours fighting Messmer the Impaler. There was a talisman I could've got that would've boosted my damage by 15%... And yet I didn't go and get it, I wanted to fight him there and then! Keep going, Jacob, they are so beatable!

[@superheropsychogirl]

“When have I been ‘in’?” is such an excellent line.

[@calicothecappuccinogurl9874]

For that one person in chat askin for a webtoon rec on fantasy non-romance I cannot explain to you how good "Eleceed" is, so just please read it, the person behind Noblesse is one of the main people behind it and the characters are just so well written, I sincerely love it cuz it really suprised me with how everything goes story wise and how characters evolve as we go. Important note: its "feel good vibes" not just some battle non-stop stuff, it really focuses on the characters. Also Skylark is by my friend and genuenly a fun read about two borthers having an adventure, the style is also very western so if you don't like stuff being too anime you might like it :)

[@shaythoven8332]

As someone with aphantasia who was always "good" at art growing up (and also supremely frustrated by it) i do feel like my art has been affected by it. But not in a really bad way. Mainly i just absolutely cannot draw anything without a reference. From memory challenges are my worst nightmare. However, I've always been really good at realism as long as i have a stack of good references to work from. You can totally be an artist with aphantasia but i could never be the type of artists that the drawfee crew are.

[@canadiandemo9073]

This fight solidified my love for fromsoftware

[@NWolfsson]

I agree with Jacob that Ultra Smough is easier to handle than Ultra Ornstein (and the devs too, considering you get an extra ring by doing them in that order). I barely could handle Smough with lightning and a bonus agility, but Ornstein hitting like a whole freight train? Fogetaboutit!

[@ourDreamcatcher]

The Drawtectives trailer made me think of something Jacob said in, I think, regards to Black Sad? And he said something like, "Julia wants her stories to be always at nighttime, always be raining and everybody to be sad."

“Expedited shipping Jacob Horse” implies that the person who ordered it had an urgent need for the horse. Either they were overcome with a feeling of intense and immediate need for the serpentine equine plush or their life has arranged itself into an event in which they urgently needed it for a specific purpose. Whatever the case, it’s funny to think about the kind of life this person is experiencing. 🤔😂

How you guys speak about aphantasia definitely says to me that you don't have it for sure. I get that you have met professional artist who have, and that's great for them. But you're talking like that means it doesn't make any difference to anyone. Which seems a little close minded and kind of bums me out a bit. It absolutely affects my ability to sort out poses or composition. I just can't get it without some kind of reference. I can't just think of a pose or where to put subjects, I have to research. I might eventually get the same kind of results as an artist of similar skill level, but it takes me so much longer. It definitely affects my other favorite artforms too. I used to read a lot when I was a kid. But as I grew up it became harder and harder to get into the types of stories I like because it was all just words and ideas. I somehow still run and play in ttrpgs, in spite of this, but I don't not get the same things out of it others get. It still stings a little when something happens and someone in the game says something like "That's awesome imagery" or That was cinematic a f" or even things like "That image is stuck in my head" because I feel like I'm missing out.

[@dom5pawn13]
