I'm guessing that Big Sis's dream that she went to computer school for, was to make a videogame that's the one they used to play together ngl, that would be the perfect ending
She is making a game, it doesn't really end where jfj cut it. Game shows you short flashbacks of BIG SIS in classes learning to make games. She also ends up deciding to go up to the playground and work on her project from there.
Yeah it's described that she wants to make a game just like the game they play together so she's literally digitizing the game they play, or she hopes to. But like Wolven said she later moves to play with the kid and work on her assignment as a potion selling witch.
This is probably the closest personification to what its like having an older sibling, being the younger brother myself I especially connect well to this kind of story. now granted the gap in our years is not as dramatic (only 3 years) but that's hardly the point, It mean so much to me how much my sister has taught and guided me into the life I live now, I know I've got a very long way to go but its always reassuring to know that I can always count on her to be supportive. I Have so much respect for those who grew up in life and turned into a compassionate human being being either an only child and or never had a nurturing and caring sibling, because god knows I sure as hell wouldn't be able to myself! Game does such a great job in showing that.
@@terriblecompany1588 I lived with 5 older siblings each of us constantly fighting over what to play and whose turn it was on the xbox. After a few years, my family divorced and I had to move away with my older brothers and cousins going to live with their families. Since then, I now have 3 younger siblings from which I consistently ask myself, “Was I like that?”. In the end, I’m grateful for being able to understand what it’s like being both the youngest and oldest in the family and I miss my older siblings deeply. Tl;Dr: I feel you man but I know from experience that they love ya back
When I was the youngest, I used to always be one of the scrappiest of my brothers and cousins. Always resorting to attempting to wrestle them no matter if they were close to double my weight or height. Nowadays though, I’m more of the gentle giant. Letting my little brother and sisters go all out before picking them up and carrying them away on a shoulder.
This honestly hurts for me. Growing up I had an older brother. He was my best friend, my confidant, my other half. Even when I got mad at him, or him at me, we were inseparable. That is, we *were*, until one day he had a heart attack on the way back from school just before Thanksgiving break. The heart attack left him comatose. We had to let him pass away the day after Thanksgiving. The release date of this video marks his birthday, just two days before Christmas. Not being able to tell my older sibling that I love them to their face ever again has hurt for over a decade now, and will still hurt for years to come. All of that oversharing to say: Folks, tell your loved ones you love them, we only get so much time with them and we don't know how much we'll have to do so.
I can't even imagine how painful that must have been... But I think your brother would be proud of you and deep down... I think they knew just how much you meant to them, its likely why he spent the time he did with you.
So, I did that. Told everyone in my family I love them. They had an intervention to asure me life is worth living and not to give up. Should I be offended?
how amazing would it be to find out that she wanted to go to computer school and learn as much as possible just so she can make an actual game centered around the game they both imagined. that would have been such an wholesome realization for the player at the end
THANK YOU J! I was one of the folk who suggested Lil Gator Game get its own "Is Fun" but this is absolutely fucking amazing. So sad i didn't get to be around for the full stream; I would have loved to see this from the start.
Me and my older brother use to fight each other with sticks I made a shield out of an old cupboard door and he made his out of plywood, we use to fight all up and down the woods near our house.
I love the story here. As a younger brother of two older sisters the age gap is 8 and 11 year difference. I'm 20 and my older sister is 28 and oldest at 31. They were /are my extra mom's. I remember my current brother in law coming over and constantly bugging him to play videogames with me. He'd always try to make time for me basically being my stand in for a brother. And even the old boyfriend of the oldest sister still is close to the family and I still talk to him and his kids are actually the first I got to sleep in my arms. I played with an old barbie plane that I put Bionicles and transformers in. Their houses are home away from home for me. I get that same cozy feeling of being at my parents house. My sister's put out a lot time for me as a kid. Even though the oldest hasn't been around physically in the later years due to military and now just living further away I still talk to her often. My older sister is the one with a child and my niece is amazing. I'm not even a kid person but I'd move heaven and hell for that kid. This whole game connects to me. It's an embodiment of my time with my sisters. And now that I'm the one in college and working I'm seeing their side with my niece as she always fusses until I hold her or play in the floor with her. I'm glad to have been quadruple parented by both my parents and my sisters. I have a billion other memories with them but that's for another day
Holy shit that ending almost made me cry, reminds me of my sister and I. We always bickered but she’s the only person I truly feel like I can talk to, also she’s always so supportive of any venture I take. She’s the only person who gets all my writing, drawings, and ideas. It sucked when she moved back to our hometown
Haha, this is such a cool, incredibly wholesome game! I wonder how it goes. *35 minutes later.* Oh holy shit. Oh my god, why is the game somehow relatable. WHY is this just, me with my older sister before SHE went to Collage... I'm gonna go cry now. This smacked me in the feels far harder than it actually had any reason to.
This made me cry. As an older brother I often times feel like I never spent enough time with my brother, or that I treated him like dirt. I miss my buddy, work dragged me out of the country and I occasionally joke with him over discord, but it sucks not being there.
For reference, I know I didn't treat him like crud, and I'm proud of him because he's genuinely so much smarter and better than I was when I was his age... but I feel like I could have been a better brother.
I'm the younger brother, and I really regret not spending more time before he was deployed. I've made it a point to play games with him almost every day as of now, and I whole heartedly recommend it if you can.
I know it was for the scene to keep moving and such but notice how whenever Lil' Gator texts his big sis, she responds pretty much instantly. In game, we know that shes pretty busy with her assignment but will drop everything to see what her little brother needs, see if hes okay.
Why does my heart feel fuzzy watching this game its so wholesome... I'm the eldest of 3 siblings and i'll admit I wasn't the best but I loved my siblings and had fun I know they still love me as. Saddly living with my parents and sis cuz money troubles but she constantly reminds me that she loves by coming down stairs where I'm rooming in the basement ta give me a hug and it makes my day ten times better.
Oh God!! The part where Gatorade was asking his sis for 5¢ for a ice cream and she just sent 6$ and had to catch her breath was so ADORABLE!!! She was probably laughing so hard too.
Damn do I feel this from the other side. I'm the older brother and there's a big age gap, so I can completely understand the big sis' need to do her own thing but still wanting to hang out with her brother, even if she can't play with him like she used to. It's weird watching this as I'm getting ready to go home for the holidays too, so thank you JFJ, love your content and hope everyone has a good one.
Heck, this reminds me of my sister. I’m four years younger than her and we used to be able to do stuff like this together. Playing video games together and the like. But one day she grew up, just big sisters do. In her absence I made new friends exploring new lands. I never knew a game could hit such a mark like the bond between an older sister and a younger brother.
Congrats on finally getting your flavor dude! It'll go great with your cup I got! Can you disclose yet on the flavor yet? Also, this game is so precious and your narration for it really sold it! Great job!
I recently lost my older sister 3 months ago so this video helped me remember the good times I had with her both the good and the sad im glad I watched it thanks for making great content JFJ.
So, this is probably going to sound stupid, but I’m an older brother who has a younger brother three years younger than me. And I honestly don’t think I was that good of an older sibling, I don’t think I was a terrible older sibling but I think a lot of improvement was needed way back when but probably never came. At the same time I remember very little of my childhood (and I’m not even 21 as of right now so that’s kind of embarrassing to admit) so I can’t confidently say if I did a good job as a “role model”, as it were. I remember having a lot of fights back in day with my brother, and I know siblings tend to do that but it makes me want to do a better job now, which I think I’m doing good but I really want to go back to tell my younger self to do better. I know I’m not much older than him so maybe I didn’t know any better and/or didn’t have much advice to give when I was younger, but that doesn’t really make me feel better or change how I feel. Looking back I honestly have no idea if I played with him enough, or had his back, or helped him out with new things, or gave him advice, or if I thought before I spoke in front of him, or if I bonded with him enough, or taught him to be more mature, or if I teased him too much, or if I respected him enough, or told him he’ll be my best friend, or taught him to do the right thing, or if I was nice to his friends, or if I learned to compromise with him, or if I kept his secrets to myself, or if I stood up for him, or if I talked down to him too much, or if I hung out with him enough, or if I showed him enough random acts of kindness, or if I shared with him enough, or if I included him when my friends came over, or if I forgave him enough for doing something mean or stupid, or if I was sometimes too hurtful towards him, or if I didn’t say sorry enough, or said “please” and “thank you” to him whenever I could, or just simply telling him that he’s awesome and I love him. Ok, looking back at this comment, this it pretty over the top but I guess this video, and by proxy this game, made me think of a lot of things suddenly. So, call me cringe if you want.
Bro, this game is awesome. I even cried a little. This just reminded me of my childhood, when I would have mud ball fights, swim in our giant pool, play dumb little games, messing with our dogs, and having a huge amount of fun. I miss those days...
This was the first JFJ stream I watched. It was so much fun being a part of it! Been watching J for 3 years now and only now grown the confidence to comment here. Your videos and this stream hage helped me out a lot by just giving me a few good laughs. Thanks J!
This. Sniff. This....IM NOT FN CRYING, NICOLE! It is C L E A R L Y allergy season and if you weren't such a blind, ratchet, spunk depository you would've realized that! Catch U Next Tuesday, Nik-Hole!.... ...This is the Childhood I never had, I wish I had THAT kind of sister, and THOSE Kind of friends, or really just A friend growing up.... Thank you jfj
I consider lil' gator game an unofficial part of the Zelda universe. I also think his official name is Lyle, instead of Link. Because he kinda looks like Lyle Lyle Crocodile.
Guess i wanna write now. Growing up wasn't bad, hard or difficult. outside of my (uncle) Father having a heart-attack and praying he comes home when i was six was the most trouble i had. Course, learning how my 'mom and dad' arent my biological parents was off putting. learning i had two brothers, a mom who was in and out of prison for drugs and abusive dad, it didn't exactly toll on me then, but now, i wish i understood earlier. Growing up, i barely did stuff outside of the house. contempt with Toys and my Xbox. now, hell, seeing this game makes me actually wonder about the things i missed. youth, growing up, friends, and siblings. my Aunt/uncle have given me the life i know and love. while i dont thank them very day, i love them through and through for it. i wish i grew up with my siblings, not separated. i wish the compilations of my biological grandmother taking guardianship over my brothers didn't happen over in a night when i was four, when my biological mother went to prison. Anyway, know its all over the place, but this game brings happiness to my soul.
it really is adorable and me being the baby of my family I had an older sister who I like to mess with a lot me and her dont have the same bond as in the game but people show love differently.
If I could infinitely like your vids, I would. You make every single game Ive seen you interact with so much more enticing and it really is eye opening just to visualize the work that goes into every video! You’re wonderful as a content creator, but I’d put my bets on you being more than just that. You always seem so genuine! Keep it up, you’re not just entertaining, you’re a real inspiration to us all!
this video right here i have watched it over 10 times now, i've been pondering about what made me come back to this specific video. and the i believe the reason is JFJ literally narrate the whole game making it like someone reading an E-book to you. relaxing
Ayy i bought a cup and i love it! So glad you got your own flavor man! Youre honestly my favorite youtuber and I love when i can come home from my 9 hour shift and watch some of your videos it always make me laugh. Hope you have a Merry Christmas and good rest of the year, you and tyrion deserve it.
"This game puts Scorn to shame." Scorn existing is a shame, poor marketing lead a lot of players (me included) to think it was a survival horror game and not some really subpar puzzle game with terrible fighting mechanics. The game looked beautiful, but fell short in my book.
