Sir, there is something wrong with your video. For some reason I can't like it thousand times more.

[@DauntlessChaos]

As a Honkai Impact 3 player, I'm too salty to play Star Rail. The Honkai aesthetic just looks like Genshin in space now, rather than future tech D: And don't even get me started on the combat.

[@SolarusRex]

I am so glad this didn't turn into 'haha wizard loses' and actually acknowledges the imperfections of the gigachad. This was unexpectedly a perfect way for these characters to interact.

[@XPtoLevel3]

Appreciate this. I had written the script a few times and it always went this route.

[@SimonClarkstone]

I did think over the years that Gigachad was very… performatively selfless, yes bending over backwards to help others but also making sure they knew he did so. It's good to have it confirmed as a kind of flaw, as well as a strength.

[@AtheistPirate]

The oathbreaker line is an underrated moment for me because, like the rest of the video, it works on multiple levels (but in a particularly unexpected way). What seems like an obvious win for Gigachad -- refusing to take the bait and stoop to his level -- betrays a willingness to sacrifice personal (and possibly group) comfort, or at least his own hopes for that particular character and campaign, all in the name of "yes, and".

[@BWANEMAET]

I was looking for a comment like this

[@envymordecai4429]

“I’ve always wanted to play an Oathbreaker” is a terrifying line coming from a Paladin mid campaign tbh

[@repthe21st66]

The Wizard deliberately breaking all the casting rules to get Chad to call him out on it so he can retort with "Oh, no more 'Yes, and'?" felt really on brand for an intelligent, manipulative wizard

[@nineel7395]

That cut to the empty table felt so surreal. Of course we all know it was just Jacob on his own acting out different characters but seeing it at such a juxtaposition with the previous scene felt so strange it gave me goosebumps. Awesome.

Ok, I actually finished the video now, and I've gotta say, you can officially be XP to level 4 now, because you've taken your writing to another level. That was some of the best narrative craft I've seen, from introduction to buildup to sparring to climax... I revelled in every unexpected turn. All I gotta say to the DM is, Yes, it had to go that hard. Yes, it had to be that meta. Yes, it has to be that unapologetically crazy. Because it's you. And we thank you--each of you, all of you--for that. Keep going, JP(s).

This gigachad character has unironically helped me grow and learn as a player. Love the vids!

[@asum2832]

This is the best XP to Level 3 video Jacob has ever made. At first I thought that it was just going to be Wizard being an ass until Chad finds a way to demoralize him. It wasn't until mid way through when they start comparing each others need to have control over the table, how they're part of the same coin and who they are to Jacob himself that this video really started getting me hooked. The part about Jacob talking about his time as a youtuber both as himself and the 2 characters was the cherry on the perfectly made cake (The chance for more Wizard and Chad adventures is cool too)

[@stigolumpy]

Yeah the premise and writing on this video was sublime. I've not seen better from Jacob and I bet he carries on to do better and better videos.

[@CrizzyEyes]

Agreed. I'll be honest, I don't agree with every single one of Jacob's takes on details of DMing or playing, but this is just so relatable and fundamental to the RPG experience. The desire for control (agency) and trying to keep that in check. Without it, playing is almost meaningless, but with too much of it, you make the game meaningless for everyone else at the table.

[@Rocker4JCforever]

This was so much more entertaining than I thought it'd be. I especially loved that the Wizard was willing to use different things he'd experienced in previous wizard episodes in order to get the upper hand in their duel instead of just using Fireball, but still throwing in an attempt to use Fireball amidst all of it because that's still his favorite. And I loved the back and forth of their personalities clashing as well, the dialogue in general was excellent. I was on the edge of my seat, and I laughed a lot. 10/10

What I love about this skit, is that it follows pretty much an identical story structure as your typical dnd story. Starting off with a plot hook and then the players run with it and keep taking left turns until the story is completely different to what the dm, the players or us the audience could possible foresee coming. This is what makes ttrpg stories so different from any other type of story one can create. The only real comparable thing would be certain improv games. This skit feels like a dnd story.

16:17 I only just found you earlier this week, and I would be impressed by the 30,000 new subscribers you've gained since this upload if it weren't for the care and charisma at the core of your content. I appreciate what you do! Thank you.

The psychological deconstruction. The character writing. The ironic self awareness. The courage to engage in the audacity of drama. The imagination. What a gift to the universe! (I don't even play DnD. I've been watching a bunch of DnD videos for the exploration of comedy improvisation/ improv storytelling.)

5 projecrions around a table with some of the most iconic characters among them. The unexpeced nature of Jacob as well as the meta scene. This is the best one so far.

I was seriously more invested and glued to my seat watching this video, than any movie I've seen in a while. Absolutely just love your content and can't wait to see more. Just, amazingly done, with everything.

[@xavierneto9044]

16:04 was a very powerful moment, I loved it! Great script.

[@zeldaworld7]

Am I the only one who shed tears from this masterpiece of an arc these two characters have gone through. It’s beautiful

[@jtjames79]

I'm not crying. You're crying! 😭

[@PhantomRoxas]

This showdown did not go the direction I was expecting, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I know you've been doing a lot of self-deprecation, but the montage of clips from all your other videos was a delight. More than anything, I admire your sincerity and how you keep striving to be a positive person. Keep on pushing ever forward, Jacob.

11:54 "If everyone likes and respects me, they'll never question what I want to do." This part confused me a bit because it seemed like The Wizard established earlier in the convo that Gigachad can't make any decisions on his own.

[@ShadowWolfNoreku]

I love your videos! So many of your DMing tips helped me out when I tried it for the first time!

[@Flubbadon]

I can’t help but smile during that ending. Great content, always has been.

[@mellowsage4091]

Idk if you intentionally created these characters with Sigmund Freud in mind, but you perfectly created the perfect Id (Wizard), Ego (Jacob), and Super Ego (Giga Chad). Any time I give an explanation of this concept, I’m coming straight back to this video.

[@plantinapot9169]

Freud is an ass, but that idea is pretty interesting. I think it doesn’t necessarily apply here though, gigachad and wizard were both just different manifestations of egotism. Superego is supposed to mean morals, but the wizard seemed to have his own morality and conviction. Ego being Jacob I can maybe see though, hm.

[@SoteksChunkyProphet-dg7io]

Freud projected his perversions onto society.

[@commonviewer2488]

​@@plantinapot9169On a surface level at least, it works. Giga Chad is not altruistic, but they still consider the feelings of the party overall to be most important, and pushes them all to be their best selves. Wizard does whatever idea first pops into his mind, consequences be damned. He has an agenda, but the Wizard still operates mostly on instinct.

[@drowsyCoffee]

FUCK

[@drowsyCoffee]

didnt need this cursed ass knowledge, now i cant fucking unsee this

[@declanhuber4250]

That spellcasting back and forth was so fucking fire

[@quinnjackson9033]

This video was awesome, Jacob! Thank you for the incredible content over the years, it has been a joy to see your videos on my recommendeds page🙂😁

[@bdletoast09]

Okay but the bit where they just swipe spells at each others without missing a bit shows such an accute knowledge of the game from the both of them.

[@drilltotheheavens1695]

I really wasn’t expecting the random Hokkaido Star Rail Ad. And honestly it was great, Wizard and Gigachad make a good sponsor duo.

[@splurg123]

Holy crap. I discovered this channel a couple weeks ago, and initially it was just funny D&D social commentary, but this was kinda a masterpiece NGL. Big ups. Massive congrats. Stay strong my guy.
