Xeneth Posted June 14, 2016 It was surreal and exciting to see you guys play my little personality test thing on the stream... Those were some gratifying reactions; Turns out all my worrying about the dystopian tone being a downer was nonsense! Sorry about the itch.io player feeding you black text on a black background, gonna try to download their client and see what can be done about that... You certainly took it in stride, and it was super interesting from a writing and design standpoint how the first 5 invisible questions or so actually "read" decently via answer inference. Also, some of the kindest words in there about it being a believable or well realized little slice of a weird future; For what it's worth, if you guys ever find yourselves working on a dystopian experience and need a systems/content/narrative designer I will happily drop everything and report for duty!

Jake Posted June 16, 2016 Someone from itch.io said they were investigating the empty/black background in the app! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henke Posted June 17, 2016 Watched the stream yesterday. Or rather I watched the first hour, anticipating/dreading when you'd get to In Search of Paradise and then got impatient and fast forwarded to that part. You guys did good! Made more than halfway to Paradise! Jake, I hope it's ok if I use your quote "This is like the walking simulator version of Interstate 76." on the gamepage.

SL128 Posted June 19, 2016 I just subscribed. How far are you from being able to add more emotes? Also, what are the chances for another Hitman stream? I always love seeing slyboots action. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nick Breckon Posted June 23, 2016 Chances are high: we're going to do a Hitman stream on Sunday starting at 1 PM Pacific. I will also restart Dark Souls soon. Hopefully will give some lead-time on the day, but I may also just start up a few streams here and there just to fit it in when I have time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thenexus6 Posted June 28, 2016 Man, that Jake one looks like hes seen some serious shit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brkl Posted June 29, 2016 I have a suggestion if you do more Hitman: if you haven't completed the regular mission a bunch of times, play that because it's more forgiving and you can try more things. If you know the map really well, then do the escalations. Maybe this is a common stream thing, but I was pretty much screaming at the screen for the first two hours of watching the newest video You know those two guards who talk next to the tunnel entrance right after you sneak into the shoe store and steal a bunch of coins? If you wait for 15 seconds, one of them walks away and the other turns his back. EDIT: Wow, you really got your shit together at the end there. I would never have attempted that without say, the consulate garage starting location at the least. Congrats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kyir Posted June 29, 2016 Screaming at the stream is absolutely a normal stream thing. Trust me on this one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brkl Posted June 29, 2016 Maybe I should only watch streams of games I don't know as well as Hitman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
unimural Posted June 30, 2016 The Hitman stream was excellent, with a truly wonderful payoff! During one of the wonderful breckonian moments in the stream a song started to play in my head. While inferior to the pure stream experience, I created a youtube mashup of it. http://crossfade.io/#!/azo9al2yd1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WickedCestus Posted July 5, 2016 Really enjoyed the last two "couple streams". Cool to see new faces in Idle Thumbs content (I know Sarah's on the book podcast too but still). I am also way into the constant extreme emphasis on internalization metrics. Always important to quantify such meaningful concepts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kyir Posted July 6, 2016 I wonder if Nick is going to be interested in doing Archdragon Peak. It would be a shame not to I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kyir Posted July 8, 2016 I know that stream ended up being hard on you, Nick, but it really was entertaining the whole way through! If all people cared about was seeing progress getting made as fast as possible, we would just watch someone beat the game in like an hour and a half. I'm sure no one watching felt like it was a waste of time to do so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SL128 Posted July 8, 2016 Eh, nevermind. But as Jeff Goldblum always says, "It's more sensible to assassinate the Queen of France as a King than as a count. The castle is a good place to work your way up." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TychoCelchuuu Posted July 8, 2016 I went to bed before the stream ended - did he beat the boss? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SL128 Posted July 8, 2016 I went to bed before the stream ended - did he beat the boss? Three hours, but no. We sent Nick out far before Ted Crews was ready. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gormongous Posted July 8, 2016 Three hours, but no. We sent Nick out far before Ted Crews was ready. I really hope that this isn't the end for Nick. It's his first brick wall, going somewhere lacking the gear or the stats to beat it without hours of practice, and I'd hate to see him give up there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gormongous Posted July 8, 2016 The real danger isn't that I'll give up -- it's that I won't. Hah! Jokes aside, you'd effectively learned the boss by the end of your stream last night, Nick. You were just fatigued, frustrated, and playing under a sizable mechanical handicap. When you only have the HP to make two mistakes, at most, and you're only doing a hundred damage a hit on the second phase, that's demanding an exhaustingly long streak of near-perfect play from you in order to beat the boss. Trust me, there's no trick you're missing, you're just fighting this boss too early for your skill level, character level, and weapon level. Clear out Lothric Castle, beat the next boss or two on the critical path, and come back with upgraded stats and weapon to show the dragon king who's boss. That's the Dark Souls way!

Spenny Posted July 11, 2016 Hey guys, Just noticed that on your page on the "Past Broadcasts" image you have the link set to https://www.twitch.tv/idlethumbs/manager/past_broadcasts but it should be https://www.twitch.tv/idlethumbs/profile/past_broadcasts . Should be an easy fix Thanks for checking out Shadow and Colossus Felt a bit sheepish about my "check for updates" message at the end, oh well, jam quality!
