LOVE YOU BABE!!!!!

Can I still have your feet pics though? Btw this is a great video

feet pics when?

I love you Jakey, but like in a bro way, I hope thats ok

I think you’re wrong but good try man.

Oh you sombitch!!!

This interaction pleases my gremlin brain

Jakey I will fight you for making a video thanks so much

He plays on my screen. I have a giant wall-size TV that I have scaled him to real person size.

That's why the accessibility options in TLOU2 are so good, it even allows tiny lil baby men like Jakey to play it

@@dennisbowen452 what about the 300k people who...liked it tho? What are you even talking about?

That's great as hell, An amazing idea, I wish was true, But part 2 is made In the end, this is not the multiverse; it can't be reversed unless part 2 gets a reboot after decades 😢

Something like this requires intrigue. Maintaining such intrigue in a game lasting 15-20 hours will be incredibly difficult. The first question is “who was your father?” and the answer is “he was a doctor” and boom, 99% of players would have guessed right away.

​@@BiriBiri925not even mentioning how difficult that would have been to market or sell. I still think if we played as her segment first it would work better imo

Part 2 could’ve been a “prequel” with the marketing being it will be a trilogy so part 2 is the Abby story and the ending can be her seeing joel or something so part 3 leads to this multi layered thing

As it's own game yes but I think everyone would expect for Joel's and ellie's story to go further. That's why I don't think if there is a part 3 that it will be about totally new people and still will probably be about ellie or maybe abby but no new people

Really? Never knew that. I’ve also never played any Gears of War games.

First three are excellent, other ones are meh

Then comes back and struggles to open a beer

@StuckDucks Many people, including me, would disagree, I don't know how you would stretch a few days in Seattle and a day of Santa Barbara between multiple games, they even did both sides of the story for both of the characters and it still wouldn't be able to be put into multiple games, it would get very repetitive very fast, they left it at a good point, with Abby and Lev going to where the fireflies are trying to build up and Ellie knowing that Dina left her. The game was amazingly written and shouldn't be looked down upon as the big disappointment of 2020, I have played the game to death with over 26 playthroughs with 18 of those being grounded challenges. I hope you read this and take some of what I said into mind.

@@honestlyowain1121 I mean they coulda wrote it differently?

@@honestlyowain1121 Here's the thing though: In the first game you followed the same two characters without it getting repetitive. When people say that the writing is shitty in this game, they don't mean part II on it's own. If you look at it as a standalone, the writing isn't horrible, it's just bland. The issue people have is that they took established characters and had them do things that they would never do based on what we know of them. They had characters who had no place acting as stupid as they did do so for the sake of the narrative they wanted to tell. I imagine if they made this game as a standalone set in the same universe, it would've gotten far less flak. I'm glad you enjoyed the game, and got your money's worth out of it with 26 playthroughs. However, that doesn't make it amazingly written, or even well written. I've enjoyed the hell out of games that were honestly dog shit. It is possible to enjoy something bad.

@@honestlyowain1121 There are also just as many that absolute didn't like this game at all. Actually, this was literally 3 entries smashed into one. And yes, they need more breathing space for each of the plotlines to be better developed and actually have weight and impact to it. It commits so many cardinal sins of bad writing (from expository dialogue that spells out character development that only matters in one or two scenes, contrivances and bad decision made by characters that go against their established traits or actions, and a bloated 3rd act that goes on for too long and unwittingly thrusts a new enemy group at the last minute, completely does a 180 on its themes in the most incredulously jarring matter, and ends up diluting its point by the very end of the game) that it is hard to ignore the issues upon a second go around. It doesn't help that this game offers nothing after beating it outside of extra difficulty modes and challenges. The pacing was complete slog to get through and I would have had each day back and forth and had the flashbacks be the introduction to the story instead. There is a good story here to tell but the structure and pacing dilutes and kills the emotional impact of those moments that should land.

always has been

They 100% included it for a girl power moment without realising how stupid it is.

@@danieldimov8625 Think they included it because she wasnt actually a soldier going to the frontlines like Jakey implied, shes a medic moving from one area to another area and gets ambushed, pregnant people are still capable of sitting in a truck which is really all she expected to be doing.

@@connorbranscombe6819 Is that why she was carrying a gun around? Simply climbing onto the truck is dangerous enough at the stage she was at. And think about it, the world ended almost 25 years ago, humanity is slowly rebuilding but the world still is extremely dangerous and filled with zombies and cults like the one we see in the game. Humans are needed more than ever, so children and pregnant women are of extreme importance. So what do we do? Let's just send out a heavily pregnant woman out there, fuck it why not. Even if she was only a medic, the simple fact she isn't inside the stadium where her and her child are safe is extremely stupid and non-sensical. At no point throughout the Abby section do we get hints that the WLF are so short on hands that they send out someone like Mel. It's just a girl boss moment that makes no sense.

At least it's not as bad as Wolfenstein 2 where the pregnant lady is in the enemy base guns blazing throwing grenades shirtless

@@raptorjesus5488 Oh god don't remind me lol

Great example. And that huge shock to realize that YOU were the one who released the white phosphorus on civilians actually felt twisted. The only shock from TLOU 2 was just how quickly Joel’s death was. I thought it was extremely unique to brutally kill a beloved protagonist in that fashion, but I hated how they followed it up. Completely wasted potential.

That game shocked the heck out of me

First time I've seen anyone say anything nice about Spec Ops Mostly because everyone calls out that, when you take a step back, its "YOU are doing this" message doesn't work when you literally cannot do anything else in the game, so if you don't want to do the big bad war crimes, all you can do is just not play the game Meaning you spend money to play a video game that actively wants you to stop playing it And also how indie sensation Undertale blows it out the fucking water on what Spec Ops was trying to do with its genocide route

​@@WhimsicottFanaticI think the thing about Spec Ops:The Line is that it saves its twist until the end. Up until that point, it just seems like a typical Call Of Duty affair, and it's less about your actions as a player specifically and more about this character you happen to be in control of. He controls the narrative, you just follow along. Less of an MGS3 "The Sorrow" type thing where it's specifically supposed to be about your choices as a player And moreso just flipping the typical gameplay structure of a war-glorifying shooter on its head

The only way ellie could win in this game is if she never left jacksonville after joel dies. The moment she steps out she lost.

fuck that would be so much better, god damn

Missed the point of the game AGAIN. It's all for nothing because it's not only useless but AN OBJECTIVELY BAD THING TO DO to still seek revenge and kill her. She's actively saving a kid's life by being alive herself, all of her actions were justified, she showed herself being the better person again and again and Ellie STILL!!! STILL misses the point, as most players did.

The best games use their gameplay to tell stories by itself and in concert with the actual story

Like many Sony exclusives, these are movies first, games second. Interactive movies.

I agree and I don't think it can easily be any other way. It is being achieved from time to time in the industry and only in specific parts of some games but it is not something to be expected. 3A games have to check some boxes and all of the 3A industry uses fighting as their primary challenge for the player. And it makes sense, games are perfect for this, emulating flights or exploring a world. Because of that though its difficult to be completely coherent as pieces of art. Only indie games have this luxury. So yeah , all the killing in tlou2 must be disregarded to some extent if you want to allow yourself to be convinced by its story. It's a pact between the player and the developers, unique to this medium of entertainment but not unlike other pacts in different forms of entertainment. Like theater, where one can wave invisible props (e.g. blades) around and everything is ok. Cause the actors or the developers or the directors are not your opponents, they are your allies. And if for some reason you start experiencing anything in bad faith then it will 100% let you down. The shadow of the 1st tlou is the only reason people talk negatively about the 2nd one. It's understandable but one should reflect on it if he wishes to enjoy the tlou2 for what it is , and not get overran by negativity because of what it's not. Cause there not gonna be another tlou1 ever again.

How is the gameplay not supposed to be part of the art? Most of the impact comes from the way and order in which you're put into the shoes of these characters throughout the course of the story. I especially don't understand how you could look at both of the Ellie/Abby fights with the context around them and really think that gameplay is an afterthought when it comes to the experience as a whole. Unless I'm misinterpreting your point?

​@@noicoiner6151he's saying that the gameplay of murdering people because it's fun (the game wanted to make it fun, pls don't argue about this) is disconnected from the story which is about forgiveness and letting go of revenge.

Well, maybe, but that sucks way more than imagining that Danny was someone the player killed and built up a relationship with in gameplay without realising.

@@marsnil Which is gonna be us in a few months

It would have made it make so much more sense for Ellie to consider sparing her too. Because she could have met Abby's dad personally before the surgery was going to start, so there could be some personal link there. Instead, from her perspective it seems like any random revenge murder, she suddenly feels the need to spare Abby. Would she have spared the brother of the guy who almost killed Joel when he was impaled on rebar if he turned up and killed Joel? Abso-fucking-lutely not.

She pieced it together that they were Fireflies. The surgeon being Abby’s father wouldn’t have meant anything to her since she was asleep the whole time and never met the surgeon.

@@PiesCanFly That is pretty much my point. Ellie had to guess, but then, she still had no clue as to why Abby was the one to do the deed. If you wanna have a narrative in which you show that people have some humanity too, it's usually best that we find out along with the protagonist. That would also just make it much better for Abby and her crew. It would honestly just make the fact that she decides to randomly pardon her much more redeemable... In a future. Or so I believe, of course.

@@Winasaurus The problem is Abby's dad was in the end, the one trying to murder Ellie. So it's hard to feel bad for him, even if it weren't Ellie he were killing. He's a doctor murdering a patient. Doctor's can't kill people to save others even if they consent.

@@lProN00blThe point is that Ellie doesn't even know why Abby did what she did. If she knew then there might be some slight hint of a reason to spare her (like feeling like they're even because they both had their dads killed or something), but because Ellie doesn't know, her sparing Abby makes absolutely no sense. Statistically her revenge killing Joel could mean she's from the cannibal group, or just fireflies in general, which wouldn't mean anything to her all so she would have no inclination to spare her. (If she was written consistently.)

@@victor_734 I'm not invalidating you. You can exist with that opinion while I exist with the opinion that the game is unplayable halfway through.

God imagine thinking the message of the game was "violence is bad." Go back to playing Battlefield campaigns or something.

@@ImperialCaleb what's the mesage of the game then

@@foxwizards The main theme is moving on, and the thematic message is that you need to move on from pain before it kills your soul and drives people away (or in the extremes, literally kills you and others.) Saying it's about how violence is bad is like saying Apocalypse Now is about how violence is bad. Yes... it is technically showing you that violence is bad. But saying that's the point, it's childish.

@@ImperialCaleb fair enough, i can see that. thanks for taking the time to answer, i often miss or misunderstand themes in things

@@foxwizards No problem, sorry I was a dick. It just upsets me that this game is disliked over what is essentially people not understanding it, and that sounds arrogant of me but I wouldn't care if it wasn't SO widespread. And the fact that KZfaq videos with tons of views also misunderstand it, and these are the people who are helping people form views about the story, is frustrating and sad for the game. And themes/main theme can be hard to figure out, especially considering that there are plenty of low effort stories out there that can mess with how you interpret things in media. Most importantly for theme, you have to look at what caused the arcs of the main character (or characters, in this case), what the ending means for the possible theme (and if it's a cautionary tale or not), and how the theme is seen by the antagonists (antagonists, especially villains, usually have a different take on the theme, one that goes against the message the story wants to show you, and thus, they often suffer for it. For TLOU2, you could say: Is it showing me that violence is bad? In a broad sense, yes. But it's too broad, it could be applied to too many stories. Even war stories are trying to show that war is bad, not necessarily just violence. And in the end, it doesn't really seem like Ellie and Abby learn that violence is wrong. And what does Ellie's flashback to her conversation with Joel when she's drowning Abby have to do with violence? Nothing. Is it showing me that forgiveness is good? Hm, there's an argument there. Abby ends up teaming up with Scars, though she really doesn't seem to have much personal beef with Scars in general. Ellie seems to learn to or want to forgive Joel in the end, and there's that conversation between her a Joel too. But... Ellie forgiving Joel doesn't really work for her sparing Abby. She doesn't forgive Abby, she doesn't really even know that much about her (only the player does.) And the antagonists like the Scars and WLF, what do they have to do with forgiveness? Well, they do refuse to forgive each other for past violence, but forgiveness is the wrong word here, militaries don't really forgive each other, it's more like they refused to... move past it. Hey, move past it, moving on. Ellie moving on from Joel helps to explain her sparing Abby. She doesn't forgive Abby, but in that moment of holding complete control over Abby's fate, she realizes it doesn't appease her, and it's doing nothing to erase the guilt she feels for not forgiving Joel, which is another example of her inability to move on. Not all of her pain could've been escaped by choosing to move on (Joel would still be dead) but she would've had more time with him when he was alive, Jesse would still be alive, Dina would still be her partner, and her soul would be unburdened with what she ended up doing in Seattle. Her sparing Abby is a massive step into adopting this new idea, as is leaving Joel's guitar in the old farmhouse. For Abby, she also couldn't move past her father's death, and she ended up almost completely destroying her and Owen's relationship, turning her body into a weapon, and ultimately causing the deaths of all her friends. And she adapts the theme much quicker in the story than Ellie, as it starts with her getting her revenge on Joel, and though it's not directly said, she doesn't get the peace she thought that would bring her. Reconnecting with Owen also helps set her back on the path towards learning how to move on from past pain, which is shown by her being the "top Scar killer" but choosing to save some Scar kids, as well as ultimately choosing to completely abandon the WLF in favor of rejoining the Fireflies. Just look at how Abby acts in Santa Barbara, it's nothing like how she acts at any point during her WLF service. Now I'll add, there's technically not a wrong way to interpret a story, and there are almost always many themes at play in any given (good) narrative. But harming your own enjoyment over what is sort of a misinterpretation of the main theme(s) is a bad thing because it's keeping you from something you might enjoy if you came closer to the intent.

Don’t you dare? I’d play it...

I wholeheartedly agree. After finishing the first one I had no desire to see this story continue because that would make the ambiguous ending completely fucking useless and with part 2 it did exactly that The last of us was a one of a kind game and it should’ve stayed that way imo

@@RaymondStormbl3ssed Its kinda like my feelings on the GodFather Part 2. There was no need for a third one.

Can I ask what conclusions you were unable to draw because of the sequel? Also, I really don't understand this "the power to choose our roles in the cycle of violence" take that I keep hearing. Like genuinely, what do you expect this game to be? Do you want the option to not go on the revenge quest? Do you want the option to kill Abby in the theater? Does the game just end right there when you make that decision, or were they supposed to create a second version of the game for when you decide you don't want to experience the story they wanted to tell? And that's kind of the crux of it, too. The Last of Us is not a choose your own adventure game, it's a highly polished (in terms of visuals and sound) narrative game with shooting and scavenging. I don't understand what ambiguous conclusions you're not able to draw from the end of the first game. Joel lied to Ellie. If you're engaged in the story, hopefully you understand why and think about the morality of that decision. The end. Part 2, Ellie found out. She confronted Joel and they begin to mend their relationship. Joel dies before their relationship fully heals, sending Ellie on a mission for revenge.

@@RaymondStormbl3ssed Can you explain what was ambiguous about the ending of TLoU 1 and why the sequel makes the ending of the first game useless?

@@usernamesareforidiot your mom

There would've been "no growth" if she would've killed Abby. The Ellie screaming "I'm going to fucking kill you" at the start of the game would've been the same Ellie who's screaming while drowning Abby.

Yes, the victim is responsible for the actions of someone unrepentantly violent. By the way, this game was written by Neil Druckmann, who also fired people for being the *victims* of his sexual predator best friend, Robert Cogburn. That might explain why you're supposed to think this exactly. You're never supposed to broach the topic of why Abby never acknowledges what she's done as wrong, you're supposed to think everyone is wrong for wanting to stop her.

​@@Shawak9 "there would have been no growth if she killed Abby" yeah, that was the point. That revenge is bad, and it would have driven the point home harder if she had gotten it and returned home to an empty house. It didn't make sense for Ellie to release Abby after seeing an image of Joel and getting her fingers bitten off. If anything, that should have made her want to kill her more. This is less about wanting Abby dead, and more about wishing that the writing would have respected Ellie's character and her motivations more instead of putting them aside in favor of preaching this game's message.

@@darthskele Yeah as you say I realized, these writers are bad and lazy. They don't think about honest character motivations, they just write the shit that comes to their brain without questioning it too much. They didn't dedicate years of their lives into understanding the character of Ellie it's us, the gamers.

⁠@@darthskelei dont agree with this. Im not good with words so bear with me. Ellie’s writing would have been disrespected if she Did kill Abby. It’s pretty clear that her bloodlust for Abby is a mask to cope with her terrible ptsd and survivor’s guilt, its the only thing that keeps her going and Ellie just wants to stop seeing Joel’s mangled carcass every time she thinks of him. She knows full well killing Abby won’t make her nightmares stop, and when she sees her tied up and malnourished she doesn’t feel anything and doesn’t even attempt to kill her. The dialogues on the beach makes clear Abby is done and Ellie wants to fight her just because what was the point of everything then. She doesn’t even necessarily want to win, (if she cared about her life she wouldn’t have turned her back on Abby and told her to go, Abby could have killed her in a dozen different ways) she just wants to be finally at peace. It’s not explicitly told what goes on through her mind when drowning Abby, but in a moment of catharsis, hungry and tired and sad and destroyed and crying her heart out, she finally remembers Joel and lets Abby go. It’s not something she does to “preach the games message”, it’s something she does because she always knew, and always got told by others, it was pointless. Hell, she constantly draws months like a psycho on her diary because that’s what she knows she is, a stupid moth to a flame that’s only gonna burn her. Like the boat on the two title screens, she can finally let go, and when she does she realizes she is all alone. Her biggest fear, like she told us in tlou 1, being alone. Her horrible actions caused her to lose everything, from her mother’s knife, to Dina, to her fingers. But the worst thing that she lost was her ability to play the guitar, the only thing that ties her to Joel. When she leaves Joels guitar in the ranch, it’s her final goodbye to him, and the final goodbye to Joel from the game. Ellie can learn how to play left-handed, but she has to start from scratch, like she has to start from scratch rebuilding her life. A criticism i constantly hear about the game is “Ellie makes horrible decisions one after another, they wrote her like she’s a dumbass” and no, they wrote her like she’s mentally ill. Ellie is depressed, has survivors guilt from the hospital, severe ptsd, and people expect her to make lucid decisions. I think that’s overall what made people hate this game. It superficially disrespects the characters of Joel and Ellie, but in reality it just makes them real people, incoherent with themselves, emotional, making mistakes and paying for them in full. In short, Ellie killing Abby would have ignored her character arc, and made her just a static character with no internal turmoil. Just a “kill abby” machine. Would have been a terrible ending.

Actually he does the "completey abandon friends so i can stay on this cool island with the cool hot chick" after he kills vass

@@gamergaymer965 Actually, afrer he realizes that to stay on the island with that hot chick he has to kill his friends he stops himself (well player can choose to not kill them)

@@Natycik true

Far cry 3 has my fav game story

Even this is shallow.

Thats facts tho

SAME! It worked though. Lol

I actually hate that concept. I straight-up never played Dishonored again after they ran at me with that bullshit. I don't mind being a pacifist, I mind that the game gives me so many fun ways to kill people, and then says "but nah that fucks up the story, play the more boring version of the game." Like Undertale does it excellently, where the pacifist run has mechanics that are actually enjoyable and interesting. Same reason I hate that killing people in Phantom Pain makes you a demon. Like, why the fuck would you hand me a rocket launcher and a tank, and then say "Yeah but nah, you shouldn't use that, use this silencer pistol instead of A FUCKING ROCKET LAUNCHER"????????

Someone Illegal actually if you’re talking about the scoring system in the phantom pain you can kill people and still get an S. Just do missions super quickly and you can get S rank basically no matter what (within reason). But I understand what you mean and I had the same experience.

@@wakkjobbwizard No there's actually a feature where if you kill too many people you become a "Demon Snake", where your horn grows and the blood stays on you until you do enough nice stuff to offset it. It's called a karma system or something. Building a nuke gets it too. And that's even fucking dumber cause there's a trophy that wants you to build a nuke.

One of the greatest sentiments of accomplishments I got in videogames was when I solved the Jindosh lock in Dishonored 2 all by myself, without knocking out or killing anyone of the people I would had to to get the combination provided by the game.

Someone Illegal I think Dishonored 2 is a little better because of this cause all of your weapons and tools do have a purpose in nonlethal due to the addition of the bloodfly nests. Though it does lose a-lot of the charm the first game had in other areas.

fucking gotem.

He didn’t have to do them like that

Can confirm. I was Johnny

What a mad lad

We have a mattress shop with a jingle "sleep country canada, why buy a mattress anywhere else" and ol Johnny, genius of elementary school, mockingly sang "why buy a mattress when you can sleep on the couch" sleep country just couldn't recover from such a hot take. They closed a few years back.

You know he was looking through comments waiting for someone to point this out.

I for one, love the new SkinnyVinny

Do not even joke about that. I'll be sad if Old Gray is gone

Channel’s dead. Abandon ship.

We need a green one

@@colin-campbell don't say it's so😭😭

👌😂

Although a little bit different as it's more similar to the story of tlou1 in this regard , I think the original Nier game did this much better ( also no real spoilers but i'd be talking about vague story " outlines " so i'd still avoid reading if you haven't played it ) , where you're set on a specific path of violence throughout the story and the game flips it on you in the end by revealing information you haven't been told before . but it works cuz it's a lot more complex than tlou2's message of just saying killing bad , don't kil . Plus , it challenges your view of the game and your actions all while giving you a hard choice at the end , I want to talk about the details but I don't wanna spoil it cuz a remake is coming next year and I think it's a game that everyone should play without knowing much about the story

@@lynackhilou4865 cool read, never finished the first one but adore it to this day, thank you

Exactly. At that point I’m doing it out of frustration. The game is trying to make a statement about how “violence is bad”, whilst actively encouraging only violence. Thats why when the character’s in the cutscenes are having a moral dilemma, I’m going ultra John Wick once the gameplay starts.

Flower_Tower good for you, my guy. I personally wasn’t a fan gameplay-wise, but I though the story was dope af. Automata was where it was at for me on both ends

Yup - they should have removed those boss fights. Would have made the game even better.

The biggest problem with gaming nowadays is that every game has to appeal to everyone, which usually means 1 of 3 types of games. And that problem leaks over into consumers as well. Instead of people saying “Death Stranding is a really unique game that I’m not into” everyone just thinks “You don’t do anything, this game is shit and pretentious.”

@👁 Hilarious how you say that when games like Portal 2 and Minecraft are critically acclaimed.

You know I had a very bad case of the common cold around the time that game came out. I played that game for like nine days straight while suffering through the worst headaches and fever I've had in years and to be honest the sort of calm and chill gameplay that didn't require too much thought really helped me through that time. It's not a game I'll revisit anytime soon but I do appreciate it existed when it did.

Bobby Jimboy I don’t even like Death Stranding that much really. It’s a seriously flawed game that thinks it’s being more profound and inventive than it is. My point isn’t that we shouldn’t criticize games or that “artistic” games are automatically better. What I’m saying is that mainstream gaming has become so homogenized, that people no longer appreciate creative ideas. Look at Spider-man on PS4. Really fun game, but it plays like a checklist of every overused AAA mechanics ever. Same thing with Dad of War. Very few people are going to argue it isn’t a well made game, yet it also plays like the most generic amalgamation of overused AAA game tropes. Games like Death Stranding, The Last Guardian, Killer 7 don’t get the same automatic plaudits from fans and critics because they actually take risks and pose new ideas, while other games are seen as less flawed because they’re safer.

I sense that your thought was the first design intention, and then someone whined about 'accessibility' and rather than have an option in the menu, they did the notes thing instead. (Unless there is such an option in the menu, then it's even worse.)

Oh boy. Yep. A huge misstep by ND. To not communicate about it properly has made it far far worse

Keep it up snakeboy

I don’t even play naughty dog games and this entertaining asf

Wait 52 minutes is long?

@@AGuyCalledHarry For a KZfaq clip? Definitely. What do you usually watch? Movies?

I mean if you have a job that lets you listen to things while you work like podcasts or etc then 52 minutes ain't shit tbh

@👁 Yeah. Thanks for asking.

@@moose-mancer Mainly long form video game and movie reviews/critiques. Also, I wouldn't consider this video a 'clip' as much as it is an analysis of game design. If you're interested in videos like this, I'd recommend channels like Joseph Anderson or MauLer for more long form analysis.

Ellie isnt European tho Thats a valid excuse

@@kinglordismy she can also just use her other hand ... or find a left handed guitar

@@cameronroy2129 Or pull a lead guitarist of Black Sabbath whose name escapes me at the moment and make some fingers out of some bits of plastic because she clearly has the main bit of muscle one needs to play the guitar anyway and doesnt need a fully functioning prosthetic

@@noelleholiday61 Tony Iommi? Which I found out recently his names rhyme and I'd been pronouncing wrong forever.

Yeah, being someone who plays guitar kind of ruins the ending cuz like yeah it's pretty easy to work around two missing ends of fingers to play guitar.
