Thank you! We are so close to the end, love the approach to the story, let's see what ending we get...

Thank you! ❤

Yes, I am planning for a 100% completion before the end of Year 4 :)

I agree, I am doing the series as an experimental thing. I don't really expect anyone in any meaningful number to see it. But it being on the internet gives it an etheral sense to me, even if it is not the ideal form of myself I want to be contained, it is a container of my being. Rather like the AI concepts the series contains. Maybe an AI will be trained on RUclips one day and now it will contain some of my mannerisms in some small, cosmically insignificant way, which in a vast cosmically grand scale, becomes significant in such a small contained part of itself.

@@bobnormal2552 I suppose it depends on what parts of this game most people watch "let's play's" for... and thus on what parts of the game most people like the most... It seems to be split fairly evenly between the story/characters, and the gameplay itself. As a _player_, I can say that over the years, the story becomes less important, and fully exploring all the different play styles one can adopt becomes the primary interest. As for being a RUclips viewer, I've seen most Deus ex playthroughs, since around 2013 or so The "blind" ones are always the ones I like the most...guides and walkthroughs are of no interest to me. But yours is at a higher level than most due to your focus on the actual philosophical and political plot points/discussions etc. Barely 1 in 10 first-time DX players spend much time on those things, e.g. JC's chat with Morpheus, so I DO like your take on such things... It IS tough getting the right balance - especially when one is not expecting a huge audience (I should know, being something of a content creator myself) As Paul Denton might put it... "just do what you think is right, JC" Let's see which Bob wins... Normal, or Page? 😏😏

​@@MrEAus Thank you for your comments, they are invaluable. I do find the story, in particular its philosophical questions, most interesting. It is a deciding factor on why I played it in the first place, and figured... you only get to play something for the first time once... I think the story may be a bit rushed in some places, most likely where they had to cut a corner or two to meet release deadlines, but to me it is a testament of the strength of its main elements that I can overlook those parts and remain invested. You may like next weeks episode, trying to do that 'none violently' was very interesting. I may have to clip some of its highlights. I wonder if JC would act in such a way, we get to play JC as a player but I do wonder what he as a person would actually do, and why. Invisible War may explore that, but I would be interested in what the original writer had in mind as I recall him not being as involved in Invisible War. Hope you have a lovely day fellow, thank you for taking the time to comment

@@bobnormal2552 yeah, one or two people have said it would stand alone as a novel or movie Indeed, there had been something of a movement trying to make a live action production of Deus ex Instead, we got Jason Statham as the Hitman... I personally like Invisible War. The gameplay is arguably more fun, and overall it's a much shorter game in terms of duration. I think a big part of how we interpret/experience any game or art form is our age - the things we focus on and enjoy, largely differ depending on whether we are toddler, child, adolescent or adult. I first played Dx in 2007 at the age of 25... And invisible War I first played a few years later, around age 30. Intellectually, it was clear that the first game had deeper content, but the second game was an overall more "streamlined", shinier journey. Each were/are enjoyable for different reasons. The first game is enjoyable DESPITE the frustrations you've been experiencing, whereas the second game is enjoyable despite the dumbed down content.

Oh dear, your right. It seems the audio bugged during the recordings, but it comes back in Day 372

I am planning to complete Year 4 currently, and then take a break to consider what to do next. Perhaps start a new farm or incorporate mods. Part of my goal has been to keep it as close to a vanilla experience as possible to ensure everyone watching would be able to follow what was happening :) ATM I am rushing to get the complete year of recording finished, so it can sync up with the seasons IRL I will take a look at those mods in more depth to see if it would be a good bolt-on to give a Year 5 some value :)

@@bobnormal2552 I love the way you play 'cause you're not in a hurry. So it's a good plan, I'm waiting for the rest 😌💃

It is year 4 my guy

@@bobnormal2552 okay okay, but you're still a bit too far for me😄

Btw this is noah

Howdy, it seems people like the no commentary Stardew Valley content, it is probably relaxing for folk, what do you think? 🧠

That is a great point! I will see if that can be incorporated...

💰🤑💸

Strange, unsure what causes that 👂I will look into it

1.6 certainly gives us a lot to do!

There are some general points, such as prioritising the valuable crops and ensuring you process things before you sell them, but I just play to have a nice routine :) Money comes naturally over time, so as long as you are making enough money to do what you want to do, you are as rich as you can be

@@bobnormal2552 yes you are right, having fun is the main thing here. Your farm looks so good 💝

robin

@@jaozzeraa thx for answering 🧚‍♀️

As Jaozzeraa says, you can buy a red phone from Robin which allows you to call merchants to see their prices. You can also receive calls as a random event, which are usually just for funny interactions. I heard someone kept a phone in their inventory so they could call someone from anywhere, but I prefer the inventory slot

@@bobnormal2552 thank uuuu

I need to rebalance my voice, thanks for the highlight. I usually don't use voice but I will probably make more voiced videos in the future

Thank you!

I try to do a Stardew day, every day - so I will hope to keep up to your daily routine :)

Thank you!

Indeed!

I will need to move some things out, but I think it can be good for quick processing items like coffee, beer, pale ale, etc.

I will take a deeper look into it :)

Thank you!

This is the basic farm/standard farm layout. The first one in the list

@@bobnormal2552 thank u for answering 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

You have to set goals for yourself to keep moving forward, getting these videos out for you guys keeps me motivated 8)

I hope you get to better places. ​@@bobnormal2552

Oh, that is not so good! Thanks for pointing it out. I don't usually use my voice in the Stardew recordings, so next time I will need to remember to boost my voice! Hope you have a lovely day!

My file reads... ooof maybe 100+ hours in the save

@@bobnormal2552 I just started this game so far I love it.

Oh great farm I like it did you put base the chest resepie from robin for the bigger chest it's takes vooper bars and wood mu h more space

Thank you! We are on Year 4 at this time now, haha

Thank you for your comments! It can get frustrating, but in general I find the game rather enjoyable (until I am enraged, lol)

My colleague suggested just this recently! I think I use it a few times to get them to look the other way for a bumbuzz

I do! Would you suggest something else?

Haha you are in for the long haul!

Haha I figured, just wanted to have some fun doing a distant strike to play with the GEP which I like the most besides the Prod or Dragons Sword

Thank you! It is just a diary of sorts, but I am glad someone saw it and thought it looked as cool as I did :)

Certainly a consideration. These guys are trying to kill me after all! It's still pacifism if it doesnt leave any marks 8)

I'd do better if I dropped the huge plasma gun, lol

@@bobnormal2552 I'll be honest, I haven't played with the Plasma gun a whole lot myself, so I'm kinda neutral about them... I'm not overly for OR against them 🤷‍♂ They're mainly good against _groups_ of organics (which you're trying not to kill for the most part) The GEP gun can use White Phosphorus rockets (rarer to find) - with a large splash damage effect, vaguely similar to Doom's BFG... so use sparingly, say, just on the greasels and karkian creatures), and keep a safe distance yourself 😉😉 Also, if you look at the Image in your game's interface of Walton Simons, which details all the attacks he is resistant to...well, the MJ12 commandos are mostly the same

@@MrEAus Your knowledge is vast, thank you for sharing! I have taken an odd fondness to this Plasma Gun, and carry it around like a precious heirloom. I really should discard it but I couldn't bear the thought. I choose it over all my battery cells, lol.

@@bobnormal2552 Cheers lad Yeah I've played this game once or twice in me time, it's safe to say 😏 (as well as Invisible War, which I actually think is still a perfectly decent game, though yes, with console-limited game maps. Perhaps not a worthy sequel to the "original and best" first game, but if it didn't have the words Deus ex in the title, is still a fun game in its own right. And given it was made a couple years later, it might have a slightly easier learning curve for people used to "modern gaming" such as yourself 🤔 You mentioned your viewers being entertained by the "cockups" in this game's episodes - well the next game would be even more entertaining 😉 (But also less infuriating for you - almost everyone I've seen play Inv War expecting it to be shit, actually ends up having a blast)

Yes, I keep thinking it has saved on a subconscious level, you have nearly caught up to my current placement too! I release a new episode each week

@@bobnormal2552 On Saturdays your time, I gather..? (I"m down in Australia, in case you're curious 🙂) Another random tip: regarding lighting your surroundings... Aside from the standard light augmentation, which as you say, uses BioEnergy (though not very much, so I wouldn't worry about that) - you can also use the Dragon Sword like a mini-torch; Additionally, you can also find Flare darts for your crossbow. The game does give you a reasonable quantity of them, and they're really not much use for anything else, so you don't need to worry about conserving the "ammo" Also, once you don't need the light anymore, the darts themselves can be retrieved (just like misfired tranq darts) - after which they'll just be added to your regular dart ammo supply

@@MrEAus I noticed the Dragon Swords glowstick like effect and use it, but I did not know flame darts can be used the same. That is some good info! Reminds me of the flares in XCOM which can be rethrown to move the light by opening the inventory and grabbing it from the ground :)

@@MrEAus Yes I play on Saturdays, its cool to see the internet has been able to connect my footage with yourself all the way in Australia. The world has grown smaller and brought the people closer together, but as this game shows this technology could be used by people who mean to harm us. It is the story that interested me in playing the game :) I do believe the gameplay is pretty good for the time it came out, but it can be a bit clunky/outdated at times. Some of it is certainly my own lack of skill though, so I hope enjoyment can be found when I display frustration :)

There is a part later on where frustration mounts to high levels trying to deal with MJ12 commandos without killing them :) I ended up thinking they were immune to them, but we get past regardless... somehow

I did not know I can use fire extinguishers in that way. Unfortunately some people have died in this run, but I think its suitable for me to continue the spirit behind it

@@bobnormal2552 No, it's certainly not an intuitive idea (at least to me - though apparently it's done in a movie or two, maybe James Bond or something like that 🤷‍♂) Crouch, aim a spray at the lowest laser, then 'circle-strafe' past it, maintaining the spray the entire time until you're fully through it
