I've just finished my 2nd playthrough of BG3 yesterday and feel like part of my soul is gone now :( There are thousand more playthroughs to be had but I really connected with my 2nd Tav and it's genuinely sad to see this one come to an end... on the bright side at least I got a really nice uplifting ending (which wasn't really the case first time around 😂) Reminder that J&A's next stream will be likely on Wednesday (July 10th) around 7-8pm BST (usually), and there will be no stream next weekend due to their attendance at Florida Supercon. With that being said, stay safe and have a great week everyone!
@@punishedcrow Ok I confess, I'm actually a sorcerer in real life and I recently took a new spell "Conjure Timestamps". You don't want to know the lengths I had to go through to acquire it...
the way you guys have grown so much is amazing. the start (of streaming and the game) was pure confusion and chaos but now its knowledge and chaos which is awesome. you bring so many smiles to people even when people have the roughest of days. we love you two cuties so much
1:38:01 POV: you called Aliona "Ali" in chat and have been sentenced to 5 minutes of the duck caller. Guess the song title in time or risk losing your chat privileges (and possibly your hearing). JK ofc. Thank you elgato for the new setup, it sounds AND looks amazing 😊.
I made the mistake of making train whistles for my 5 year old sons, which have now mysteriously disappeared (the whistles, not the sons). And I thought that was the most ear-wrenchingly annoying sound I could have inflicted upon myself. Until now. Jen, please, please hide that bloody thing real good, or perhaps fling it over a rainbow. Sorry Aliona. You're certainly the best duck caller player I have ever heard. 😂
My personal takeaways from this stream: 00:28:33 "stay in the moment and just enjoy what I do have at the moment because you never know when all that is gonna dissappear" I can relate to that on so many levels, it'd be too much to write it all down. 00:41:47 you mentioned RSD in the past before and oh no, I see it in myself, why did I never look that up before? (Also, super happy for J feeling better) 1:18:29 high fives are like a double plus in Sims ➕️➕️ 1:38:43 duck callers are a double minus in Sims ➖️➖️ 1:39:28 if you get Aliona a kazoo Jen will come visit you for a cup of tea and bring her lovely friend Dev and biscuits.
Just when I thought you two couldn't get any cuter. Have mercy, please! The audio makes such a huge difference, by the way, it's so lovely to finally be able to hear you properly. Before, I had to either turn up everything and blow my ears out when I switched tabs, or use loudness equalization (a built in Windows compressor/limiter) to parse the speech better.
Great job, Jen! It's a fabulous new setup. I literally gasped when you reduced the webcam window to reveal the game window. All that was missing was a fanfare of duck callers (qua-quaaack). Thank you too, Elgato! Aliona, you're so talented an actor and so prepared to give 110% that I'm sure the opportunities that you're looking for will come. You have qualities that are worth their weight in gold in a relationship. And yes, life is full of ups and downs. I have to tell myself that I have to have the downs just so I can better appreciate the ups!
before you head back to Rethwin/ Moonrise, there is a guy in the shadowcursed lands with a white crow you can talk to for another quest ( in the general direction of where you found thaniel/ entered act 2)i.e. more content, then there is the morgue that's easily missable near the house of healing, that's reasonably quick to clear and has stuff to kill, and the small mausoleum you opened in the town squalre, and a couple of other smaller things (entering the gauntlet of shar locks you out of the rest of act 2) regarding metamagic, since jen asked again, it really just modifies your spells, so you select the metamagic option you want then select and cast the spell, quickened spell will let you cast twice, twinned spell will add a projectile to the spell you cast as I said, works like magic missile, distant spell enhances your reach, so on and so forth. shoutout to glyph of warding (it will never be used) /s , seriously though, it has an option for light damage, could be useful in the shadow cursed lands, And lastly, do not worry about projecting some perfect image, as you said A, your authenticity is rare and exactly why people are so invested (for lack of a better word), why it gets to people, why they feel encouraged to share things of their own. And don't worry about voulnerability hangover, I already got it from trying to be ever so slightly personable in chat, lol, so you should be fine? Or maybe that example is saying the opposite, whatever, I can't think today, I've a cold. Either way hopefully that's the last of my serious posting for a while. Thanks for the perception :) Oh and, my idea with the Kazoo in Stuttargt wasn't entirely unserious, normally I wouldn't go to a con but that would be funny
And very lastly (again, cold) why I keep writing lentgthy comments about gameplay stuff is because it's much easier to describe something when you have time to write it , and think about it (not that that necessarily improves the quality), and you have time to read it,and I just want to give a bit of context, what something means, and I'm just not as great as being active (and much less personable) in chat as others when it comes to more general stuff
Awesome quality on the stream now! I've been watching every RU-vid video but never caught a livestream.. and I really want to! You are both awesome and so kind human beings!
The stream upgrade is huge!! I’d be happy to keep watching regardless, but the team effort to improve the quality so much is very appreciated. Thanks to Aliona for starting the process, Elgato for sending the gear, Jen for setting it up, and the flock of musical ducks for testing the limits of what it (and chat) can handle!
Hello ladies... Glad to see you. Your smiles are infectious in a good way lol I am happy to see BG3 make such a positive impact on your lives and the lives of the other voice actors and employees at Larian. A precious moment in your lives. I wish you all the best.
Hi fabulous ladies!! Great stream today! Love the new setup you two are pros now!!! Aliona, thank you for being so open and vulnerable with us. It is such a big thing, when you care for someone and want to provide for them but remember, you are a team….her success is yours and yours is hers. I bring home the majority of the money and Heather celebrates it and we see it as our money. You are a beautiful, talented woman and I am sure Jen feels blessed to have you by her side.
Aliona was extremely vulnerable early in the stream, so it had to be balanced with Duck Sounds. All is as it should be 🦆 🎺 Thanks for being authentically you A 😁
So awesome to see the new stream setup! You both are such entertaining and lovely people! Here's to many more fun streams with you! (with or without the duck caller) 😂
2:07:05 I believe you're looking for "I hate to see her go, but I love to watch her walk away." At least that's how I've usually heard it - unironically from skeezy guys. I'm not sure what the original source but apparently in Face/Off it's "I hate to see you go but love to watch you leave." It's probably been used in lyrics too.
Im never able to make it live cause timezones and australia are a bad combo, but ive used my prime sub on twitch for you guys because you deserve it! A - Ive been enjoying having Ulrika and the Hag Ostenyanka fighting together in total war. You and renna alongside each other against the world is really fun. It would be so awesome if you could do the audio books for Ulrika and become her "official actor".
Yet another lovely stream. If you're finding it more difficult to read chat there are options, you could either get a 2nd monitor and have chat on there, or you could get a gaming pc set-up with 1 monitor that has the game 1 monitor that has the stream layout and a monitor for chat. That is a lot of work tho and I dont even know if you want to go that deep into becoming even more pro streamer. Or you can pop out chat on your mac and enlarge it (which is what I think you ended up doing yesterday) The duck caller was fun at the start, and then at the end I wanted to burn it :p The new setup is so much better than the old one, I didn't really watch for the quality of the setup, you two are just very entertaining and genuine people that I enjoy watching, but I am glad there's been an upgrade, easier to hear what you're saying, and full HD glory, gotta love it. I look forward to the next durge update. Oh and I love Jen's trans rights t-shirt. If I could give one tiny note on it tho, have the camera not be mirrored so it's even more clear what the message is? Or maybe that's just me being very picky :p Duck caller sub alert?
I'll miss janky set up, for a one year anniversary you should return to it just for laughs. I wish i could catch these streams live but I'm usually working when y'all go live :< Anywhoo, i love these vods, aliona schuking the controller is peak intrusive thoughts winning 😂. I love how sweet this community is and how honest and vulnerable jen and aliona are with us. It's such a nice and inclusive space that y'all have created for us (speaking as a non binary lesbian). I can't wait to see Ya'll im a future con! Congrats on the set up and keep being the cool beans you are! 😎😎😎
I'll be completely honest: I hated the previous setup. It used to be really hard to hear you in some instances. But now it's sooo much more enjoyable to watch and listen that I might become a regular. Especially if A's duck whistle concert becomes a permanent part of the programme.
it's really funny that jen mentioned that warped band of intelligence for her run because in my campaign, i JUST gave shadowheart the same piece of equipment. so that her ignis doesnt ig-miss, but ig-critical hit! absolutely love the new setup, though i will feel some nostalgia for the old one. its so lovely to be on this journey with you and seeing you guys enjoy every bit of it. aliona you say in the youtube description that we deserve this, but you both do as well!!! thank you for all the laughs, all the vulnerability. thank you for being some of, if not the most, down to earth creatives out there. its so refreshing to watch your content
@@bloodyfitnerd1947 sweet!! i put it on shadowheart so i can multi class her into an evo wizard and utilize more of those evo spells that align with the light cleric magic. cant believe i missed this item twice on my first two playthroughs haha
There's a video on this channel, which shows Aliona doing motion capture. What I saw is pure acting talent. Don't worry, opportunities will arise again eventually! 🤞
I have to say, as an Australian, that I have always found the UK's electoral system very odd. Holding elections on a weekday (not Saturday, as we do here) and having First Past the Post rather than Preferential Voting really seems odd to me. Preferential Voting is how I can vote for Greens or Left-leaning Independents whilst also ensuring my vote isn't "wasted" if my preferred candidate misses out on getting a majority. Not to mention the lack of "democracy sausage" (IYKYK) 😉. All the same, congrats on the results and here's to hoping that Labour will start to shift more towards its previous roots as more of a Centre-left government.
I like the new lighting and microphone. Would you consider making twitch chat a lot smaller on screen? It takes up a lot of the screen space and it's distracting. The chat box previously was less intrusive.
Shame. Dammon was one of my favourite NPCs because he’s kind and he takes pride in his work without being a jerk about it. I kind of want details about what the guy said, but if you’re unwilling to even repeat it then I suppose that says it all.
So, J&A, I have to ask... no particular reason of course... Do you have neighbours? And, um, your walls? I hope good ol' European brickwork? Properly insulating and muffling?🤔
Alright Aliona, your friend, holy lance helm guy here, and I am committed to ending the unfair trash talk being directed at Ms Rismol, As you know Honor mode is THE hardest mode, and I earned my golden dice with a deep gnome bard same as yours. all we need to do is take one short trip to Withers and respec her just a little bit and equip her with a few key items. but we can make it so she is popping off 20-30 damage PER SHOT and getting like 4 shots per turn.
Congrats on the Labour wins in the UK. Hopefully they'll actually help fix and improve things for you all! Sadly for us in the States we don't have Ranked Choice voting (insane I know), and due to this we're basically stuck in a situation where one candidate is an insane wannabe fascist dictator and the other is a senile old man who doesn't even know what year it is, much less how to combat the rise of the far right. Best hope we can have at this point is that they can either hope the Dems convince the old man to drop out or find a way to legally replace him as candidate. Pray for us you all! Also. I cannot stress this enough. If you are openly LGBTQ+, and if Trump wins in the 2024 election, DO NOT COME TO THE UNITED STATES! For your own safety. Odds are quite strong there will not be any "safe" places left if that happens.
Oooo I'm so excited! 7 finally caught up with your videos, ready to come see you live 😍 Maybe the cam is a bit too big rn? It covers up a large part of the game I think 🩷
