Someone else probably explained this already, but the primary difference maker between a polycule and a harem is basically direction. In a triangular situation, a harem is like a V; two points love the one point, and that one point may also love those two points, but those two individual points don't have a thing for each other. A polycule would be an actual triangle. Every point directly connects to every other point. Or, with four people. A harem is one dot in the middle with three dots around it, with connections to each of those dots, but they don't have connections to each other. A polycule, in that case, is a square with an X through it. Every person is connected to every other person.

yes watch dogs in love its great

Yeah, this is what the format is for Jello's "Dogs in Love" and "Miles is on Fire/Miles is a Robot" series. I'm pretty sure Jello has gone on record saying that he only does these highlights for games that weren't very good because they ended up making way more improv jokes during those streams, but I think based on what he said at the end of this video that this series was a bit of an exception? There are a few other games they played that probably aren't going to get this highlight treatment because they were actually invested in the games, but the channel andYetNoBananas has made some animatics about some of the moments in those streams that don't have highlight videos. also, if you do do "Dogs in Love", you should definitely do his videos on Making a Sound Type and Ranking the Hottest Pokemon Characters, because those are like isolated highlights from those streams

One thing worth knowing is that most harems in media are not able to be called polycules, since none of the girls have any romantic feelings toward each other. Also, would love to see you watch either the Dogs in Love videos or Jello's Lemonade Review videos.

Harems and polycules are not the same thing. Members of a harem all love one person, but not necessarily each other. In a polycule, all participants love each other equally.

"She's wearing clown shoes" They're not. She's got normal shoes that have metal talons attached to them. And no, a harem is not a polycule. A ploycule is an actual relationship developed between all participating parties. A harem is just a fantasy fulfillment that lacks actual development, where it's all focused around one person because it's mainly catered to single men. What they are asking for is actual effort made where you don't want anyone of the characters to be left out because the game makes you care for them and the relationship.

*yes* , this is exactly what dogs in love is like

"Dogs in love" and the "Miles is a robot" series are great.

As someone who watched all of Jello’s playthrough/stream/abridges, yes you should definitely get around to watching Dogs in Love and Dogs in Love 2 because they’re extremely worth it, even if you don’t know much about Pokémon. And if you still want more after that, you should check out his videos for Ace Attorney Investigations and Investigations II called “Miles is on Fire” (First Investigation Game) and “Miles is a Robot” (Investigations II). They’re a little longer than Dogs in Love or Sky Pirate Girlfriends, but they’re separated into different parts by Jello himself, so it should be easier to watch in bursts.

Always remember We are thousands of feet in the air

the british cant impersonate texans. as someone who grew up in texas with a british neighbor i can tell you that what happens is the british accent overpowers the texas accent and assimilates it if you spend too much time with her

Damn, this stuff is interesting. Ps. My favorite moment in the Live Dub series was the bit during Ixa’Taka Kingdom: “This music Fucks!” “Well it is the island of fertility after all”. Gotta love it.

I just realised this game is over 20 years old. I feel really old now!

TBF, polycules tend to be more open communication and everyone being with everyone rather than just all being for one

Skies of Arcadia is still my favorite JRPG. Its the one that got me into steampunk and JRPGs in general. Id hope someday they remake it, but doubt it since its sega and the only thing they can make is Sonic

A Harem isn't a polycule. Polycule is everyone dating each other. A harem is polyamourous, and is just one person dating a bunch of people.

Skies of Arcadia was originally released on the Dreamcast. The version that Jello and friends played is Skies of Arcadia: Legends, an upgraded Gamecube port. Beyond that I don't know of any other releases. If you've got a Wii laying around you could play Legends that way.

:) Thanks for this. Hoping the Pokémon ones will follow, though the 2nd is far more polished. The Colosseum games are weird enough to be rich pickings.

A harem is like the opposite of a polycule, in most cases. I think? It would be an improvement for most.

ah yes Enriques awakening two, electric boogaloo

Play this game now! A thousand times, yes! And remember... we are THOUSANDS of feet in the air!

I recommend the dogs in love series as well. Also Internet Historian like the Cost of Concordia.

Yeah, Dogs in Love is this but done for Pokemon Colosseum, and the follow-up video covers the first half of its sequel, Pokemon XD: Gales of Darkness. Sadly they never did a video for the second half, though I'm pretty sure they did play through the game on their streams. They said it'd be coming, but then released this vid instead, so who knows.

Dogs in love is fantastic and you should definitely check it out

Hmm, I was sure there was a steam or GoG version, but looks like that was just for Tales. I'll only make the statement that, as I own the GC remaster disk, I could legally play it on Dolphin with no issues. It'll be more fun the less you look up, but the Captain rank is linked to making proper noble pirate decisions and there are some super rare drops.

bUT W hO ArE THe mEn FrOM tHE EaST?!?!?

Do dogs in love it really good

It was first on the Sega Dreamcast then ported to GameCube with the director's cut, but maybe it's on Steam but probably on emulator.

Play Skies of Arcadia. Doesn't matter if it's privately on your own time or doing it for your audience, just play Skies of Arcadia. Don't just put it in your backlog, put it at the top of your backlog. The game is full of sincere charm and an unbridled sense of adventure. The characters are incredibly expressive and lovable (or hateable in the case of those meant to be detestable), oozing personality. It's like reading that one book that you love even when you're not a big reader otherwise. It possesses the whimsy and freedom of a child's drawing but as if it were painted by a master traditional artist in their prime. And not in the sense of a modern artist putting more effort into being subversive than into making good art, but the kind of artist that makes works that can speak to any type of person, unifying vast expanses instead of burning bridges. It's a truly special game that has aged wonderfully while still being criminally left behind by the gaming market. Talk to whatever friends or acquaintances you can about finding a way you're comfortable with getting to play the game. Play Skies of Arcadia. But, yeah, I'm not joking, it's a fun and neat game.

While his abridged version of their playthrough Is absolutely hilarious...you're missing a lot of the jokes unless you watched the whole VOD.

As far as I know, the difference between a harem and a polycule is that a harem is one guy with a bunch of girls who love him but don't also love each other. And a polycule is just three or more people who all mutually love each other, or love different people in different combinations but its not like only one person is the one being loved. Also harems tend to be often treated as only ever a dude with a lot of wives, with it being called a reverse harem if its a girl with many husbands. And there's a bunch of difference between the actual historical concept of harems in other cultures, and the fandom concept started by anime, aaaand the western idea of arabic harems as misinterpreted in a lot of racist fetishizey romance novels of the 1900s. Polycule is just a universal term that can be used for any gender or any amount of people, and has no negative stereotypes or fandom baggage. And throuple is just a funny way to say it, so some people prefer it, but cos its only for groups of three thats why we also have the word polycule, haha

World is mine is a vocaloid/hatsune miku song

its one gamecube and dreamcast, and its uber expensive

I can't hear the guy with the deep voice speak without thinking back to "Ike gets trolled" and "Ike trolls back", which are two animatics of his fire emblem streams you should DEFINITELY watch. Also dogs in love 1&2. Whichever order ya want, there's no rush.

Please do dogs in love 1 and 2

27:40 worked for one piece for how many episodes. so why not for this game too^^ mfg Olli

Harem =/= Polycule, in any definition.

i disagree harems are not polycules cause the members fight over one character. polycules have the characters love the other members of the polycules.
