It's not that you're dying constantly, it's that you're constantly on the VERGE of dying, and that actually makes it super compelling. This is interesting to watch.

The one request I have for the editor (Foxcade), is to please cut *as little* gameplay as possible, even if nothing of note happens and it's just walking around.

I disagree, Funger has unlimited saves and empty scrolls. The only difficult part is getting to Le'garde before the 30 minute timer and trying to keep your torch supply up on Terror and Starvation.

>Watched this live >Watched in the Unnoficial VODS Channel And I'll watch it again

You sir, have single-handedly revived this hidden gem of a game that I love from its underappreciated slumber. With a single, iconic, banger of a video you have posted on your main channel. Appreciate it, it has finally begun to receive its long overdue attention.

These streams are incredibly entertaining and such a great intro to the game. Here’s a guy who knows so much about it and here he is STILL getting bodied and it’s great.

Regular Eyepatch Wolf huh? I like it. Now we just need Mediocre Eyepatch Wolf with the reaction content, and Subpar Eyepatch Wolf for the sleep stream and we got the market cornered.

I've never watched your live streams because I have no time to keep on with schedule... but posting here on KZread is nice and I can finally watch! Loved the video, you should post more here!

My dude, if you get an empty scroll + quill or get the soul of the endless (either by using a soul stone on caharas corpse or killing skinny granny) try to get the Engarde ability asap. It allows you to get a free turn at the start of the battle by holding 'shift', and thus either flee or get free damage on them. It's essential for a good run imo.

This was awesome - the game itself is not my jam but I loved the vid about it and really enjoy the atmosphere, super glad to have you playin it so I can enjoy it!

LFG thanks so much for uploading these

This was very fun to watch please add more

So happy to see this. Can't wait for 2!

Really hope you upload the vods separately. I really loved your streams and experiencing them uncut would be nice

Love the editing, but would also love the option of having uncut VODs available somewhere. I went to check out Twitch after watching this because I was hungry for more content and saw that only the latest stream was saved. I know I'd be back to watch to see the edits whenever they get made into a vid like this too :)

Loving the compilation of hot takes on Formsofts work!🥳

I think ive found my new favorite streamer. I really like to hear you talking.

I am here to see past triumphs and definitely no failures.

I've been stuck thinking about this game for a while now and one thing I think makes it so interesting is the availability of hard counters. Escape plan completely counters taking the blade, because the ghost is not a problem if you can almost gurantueed run. Bear traps counter a lot of things, but especially the starting guards (ogres). Even stuff like the healing spell counters needing healing in exchange for mind, the dark pirest counters losing limbs because he can become the marriage, etc, lockpicking counters almost all locked doors...There's so much impact in the items, character choices and skills. Classic jRPGs mostly just do "gain 5% of X" where X is damage/defense/magic damage/evade/etc. . Another game that does hard counters well and is just excellent is Slay the Spire. More games need hard counters!

I do not know how you manage to push through all of the hurdles Fear & Hunger puts in your way... The game succeeds in driving me to rage quitting every single time I play it lol

was happy to see some small recompense to the Buck Bumble Enjoyers timestamped in the description, but uh...then I watched the clip and didn't see anything? where was the apology, Mr. Patch Wolf? some of us didn't expect to have our first N64 game so casually and callously trampled upon, sir! also, thank you for introducing me to Fear and Hunger, that video was really well put together and I'm glad to know more about it and stumbled into the other folks making essays about it on YT. playing this game feels like a chore, but the lore and aesthetic is so fascinating and compelling, I want to try the sequel sometime soon

55:47 actually gave me a heart attack because I didn't know that could happen. That's with the fact I have beaten this game several times.

His whole chat begging him to feed the priest and going unseen is killing me

This felt more like the penultimate gamer, but that’s not surprising given how humid it was. The final gamer is allergic to water as all people know

I also took a break from sf6 to play fear and hunger. Good stream. Good fear and hunger video also

Please keep this series going, and this is from someone who normally don’t watch people play video games.
