 What is up, my cranky crew? We did a real great gameplays and today we are playing a game that I just found on Steam called Left On Red. Apparently it's a, I was about to say a dating sim. It's not a dating sim at all. It's a narrative game that follows two people who just left college that are going home because of coronavirus. So very topical, select day, options quit. Okay, so let's just play and let's see what happens. It's gotten some good reviews so far and there's multiple different endings. I'm probably just gonna do one or two this round but maybe I'll come back. You thrill me with just a smile with the whole world crumbling I picked now to fall for you. Is it about to get real emo up in here? Day four, March 16th, 2020. This is the day that I started quarantining. Hey, hi. Hey, how was your flight? Wait, how do I, whoa. It's a platformer? That's cool. How was your flight? Red, 612. Crazy, everyone was wearing masks. I was so scared. That's insane. Yeah, everybody is totally overreacting about all this. Nah, dude, that's insane. Glad you made it home safe. This is really cool. Red, 612. Thanks. Yeah. Where did you go? When did you go home? Saturday night. This is a really cool way of doing this. Can I jump onto the bubble? Nice. Them good old one word answers. Love it, love it. What, now what? Oh, did your parents make it home? All right, this is very much. Yeah, they did. My sister is coming home next Monday. Oh no, whoops. Gotcha. Red, cool. Oh, oh. Really trying to keep the conversation going. Have you seen any of your friends yet? I wasn't sure if this was people who were in a relationship or not. It might have said in the description, but I can't remember. No, not yet, but my friend Sam and I have plans on Tuesday. But how? But how are you supposed to be quarantining? That's great. Awesome, are you, what are you guys gonna do? Sam a gyro girl, ooh, being suspicious. Suspicious. What are you guys gonna do? I don't know yet. I'm getting the feeling that they don't really wanna be talking. Shit. Oh, just nice. Oh. Oh, and it's awkward. It's awkward, it's getting awkward, dude. I'm gonna go to bed now. Good night. Not even a full good night. Just the GN. Why so early? Forgot time zones are a thing. Ha ha. Good night. Oh, hit with that just the heart reaction. Day seven, March 19th, 2020. What's up? Hey. Oh, it feels so awkward. Hey, with the two Ys, wow. Haven't been hit with a hey with two Ys in a bit. How's it going? So bored, you? Oh yeah, we know about that board quarantine life. Me too, this is getting nuts. Crazy. I don't know. We just gotta stay at home order. Oh, this is just the beginning. Oh my God, we don't have that yet. Yeah, every single restaurant is closed. Yep. And then the normal stores, everything. Wow. Got anything more to say? Or just wow? How was your thing with Sam or holy shit? Let's go, how was your thing with Sam? How was that? Ha ha, we didn't end up meeting up. Bummer, dude. Probably for the best. Oh, I'm sorry, what happened? Let's go probably for the best. You know, with everything going on, probably not best to hang out with people. Kind of sucked. Oh, maybe that was the wrong thing. Yeah, social distancing is whack. That's social distancing, real whack, dude. It feels so awkward. I'm not sure if it's intentionally supposed to feel awkward. Am I being left on red? Oh no. Hello? So anyway, oh. So, oh boy. Oh, oh, it's awkward. Oh, it's awkward. Oh, it's so awkward. What if the triple dot goes away? Oh man, I gotta help my mom with something, talk to you later. Okay, damn. These awkward convos, dude. So I guess there's a lot of anything because, well, maybe that's probably not an end date, day 18, March 30th. Not even into April. You see, we're doing a lot of the reaching out here. How you doing? It doesn't seem like we're being reached out too much, huh? Why do I always have to be the person to reach out? Nobody ever texts me. I always have to be the one texting. Doing good, so bored, what about you? Just chilling, dude. Just trying to keep busy. Just, you know, keep it on. You know? What have you been up to during quarantine? You also just been chilling, like me. You know, just doing whatever, dude. Lots of movies. Not really much else that you can do. Nice. Seen any good ones? It's so awkward. It's so awkward. It just feels so forced. Yeah, so my god, just saw Parasite. It's so good. I love Parasite. The cinematography is so sexy. I don't, all right. I don't know if I'd describe it as sexy. I mean, it's wonderfully shot, I don't know. Okay, I'm a sucker for rom-coms. Gotta love a good comedy. I really like sci-fi, horror is my shit. Horror, out of all these. Horror is my shit. Can we go back up top? Oh, we can. Horror is too much for me. Yeah, I get that. Some of the classics aren't too scary because the special effects are so trash. Bad. It's not for everybody. But you know, now during quarantine is the perfect time to get into a new genre. Did you go to the movies a lot? I miss the movies. I miss the movie theater so bad. God, I miss the movie theater. One of my favorite things to do is go to a movie and I really miss it. No, not really, wish I want more. Yeah. When, well, when they open back up, we'll go together. Whoa. Oh. Well, hopefully they'll open back up. Could've gone for it. Could've gone for it. You know? Damn. Damn, damn, damn. That would be so sad. Yeah. I hope movie theaters are okay after this. Who knows? Who knows? Damn, this sucks. I'm actually having a really great time. No, not! You pressed space at the wrong time. I wish I could go back. But when you send a message, you cannot do it. Oh, is that the end? Oh. JK, ha ha ha, JK, just kidding. I was a joke. One of my friends is calling me, talk to you later. Ow, okay. Bye. Eesh. Oh, oh, oh, oh. Not even a reaction anymore. April 1st. Damn. April Fools. Mm. Ah. Oops, I didn't mean to say. Oh, I mean, oh, oops, why not? Why not? I mean, not a super appropriate time for, I mean, it's April Fools' day and all, but you know, there's a global pandemic happening. So, you know, you know, not great. Ha ha. Hee hee hee, ho ho ho. Hee hee ho ho, funny jokes. Who is that supposed to go to? My mom, she's big and a muscular cat. One of the boys. Just joking. Another girl I'm texting. Oh, dude. One of the boys. You know, you'd get the joke if you were one of the boys, but, I know. So, you wouldn't, you probably wouldn't get it because you're not one of the boys. Oh, lol. Yeah. Just kind of a funny boys joke, you know? Ooh. Anyways, what are you up to? How have you been? What are you up to today? What you doing? Tell me about your day-to-day life. Any fun things going on? Are you having a, okay, no plans just like every other day? I can't stop thinking about you. That's not gonna be the message that you send. Sorry to hear that. Why do you keep changing these messages? Say what you feel. Express your feelings. Why not shoot your shot, 2020? The world is ending anyway, so just, why not? The global pandemic, it's not like you could see them in, ooh, since when? Interesting. I'm here for you if you need anything. She didn't sound super excited when she said it, so I'm gonna go with this one. Are you dastardly dandy? I forgot it was April Fool's Day. That was really sweet, though. Yeah, I'm a pretty funny, sweet guy. That was really good. We'll go with that was really good, I guess. I mean, harmless, a harmless yoke, I guess. Harmless yoke. I'm sorry, I had to get somebody. Well, you did a very good job, Loll. Glad I could do that for you. Let's go with you did a very good job, Loll. You really got me. You really had me on the ropes there. Cause I was like, whoa, have you been fooled by anyone else today? You know, just life. Just daily life. Nope. But now my day can be fulfilled. So thanks for that. Damn, that was a good goof. Pretty good goof. The acting was superb. Gotta go eat dinner. Okay, talk to you later. Any reactions this time? No, nothing. Day 46. Wow, we jumped. We jumped almost a month. A month without talking at all. Again. Hey, how's it going? Again, I'm the one reaching out. What if I want to be reached out too? Let me know that you're thinking of me. It's going good. What about you? Not so good. It's fine, I guess. Living life. Just living. No response. Oh, so you don't want to help me with my baggage. I'll help you with your baggage all the time. Okay, sure. Ooh. Ah, yikes, actually. That was like kind of a joke. But now are they just gonna talk about themselves after I'm just said, hey, I'm not doing very great? We're going on hikes. It's really nice. Cool. What about my thing? Let's just say cool. What if we just had cool period? When you end a sentence with a period, it's like, oh, nice. Yeah, thanks for being worried. What about you? Better up to anything exciting? I just said that I was doing bad. My harmonica came in the mail today, so I've been doing a lot of piano, man. I've got big plans. Huge plans. Huge stuff going on for me. I'm thinking of going on the road. If only I could play a show, but during quarantine, that's actually so cool. Do you really think that are you just trying to please me? Can? Can I ask you something? Oh boy, big question. Do it, do it, do it, pussy. Come on. Can't believe we're not on the last week of school. Jeepers. We're sophomores now. Yeah. Well, not yet. Crazy doesn't feel right. Express your feelings. Ask them the question. Can't wait for next year. I feel like we're not ready. Oh, whoops. Sure. Can't wait for next year. The worst part of life is waiting unless I have something worth waiting. You almost said someone worth waiting for. When will you express your true emotions? When will you express your true emotions? Our class is going by the way. This meaningless conversation, you're saying nothing. Just speak your truth, dude. Come on. Just say it. Just say what you're feeling on the feeling inside. They've been going all right. I haven't been going to too many of you. I've lost all motivation. I've been going to a lot of mine. Except like one. Do you think school's gonna be online next semester? Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Oh yeah, dude. Hello? Am I allowed to answer? I think I would actually lose my mind. It's impossible to tell really. As of now, yeah, probably. Probs, TBH. I don't even know your name. Do you even know mine? You know? Damn. That would be the worst. Yeah, but don't worry. I spoke with the CEO of Coronavirus and we agreed that that wouldn't happen. Let's just do with, yeah. It would be. Not really the time for jokes, you know? I mean, sometimes, but not in this conversation right now. Anyway, you're just gonna leave me unread for the rest of the night, I guess? This is conversation over. What are we doing? Sorry, I gotta close. Always, always. Talk to you later. Day 50, May 1st. Dude, we're getting close to the present. Hey, are you up? They're texting me! No, I'm sleep. Let's just go with, yeah, what's up? It seems serious. What's up? I don't know, just feeling extra sad tonight is all. Oh, we all got those days. Yeah, I feel you same here. I'm sorry to hear that. What's got you down? Let's ask the questions, you know? Just be like, hey, I'm all ears, baby. What you thinking about, mate? What you thinking about? I don't know, never mind, it's stupid. No, say it, just K. Are you sure? I'm sure it's not stupid. What's up? What's up? I just feel so alone. I like, I talk to people every day, but I feel like none of it's real. Yeah, yeah, I don't know how much longer I can do this. I think we all sort of feel like, just really, really alone, you know? I feel like everybody sort of feels like that, where it's just like, damn, how long are we just gonna do this for? Because as long as we can, I guess, it's just, let's go with, I'll always be here for you. You know, everybody's going through tough times with this, like, it's just, it's tough. It's tough, because like, even if you're talking to people, it's still, you still feel pretty alone. It's really hard to deal with. I just don't know how much longer I can do this. What do you mean by that, though? We're in this together. We just gotta stick it out, because everybody's sort of in that situation where it's just, we're doing the best we can. Oh, fuck, I'm starting to cry again. Hey, and that's okay. And having bad days is okay, especially right now. We're going through a global pandemic, you know? Cut yourself some slack. Don't be too hard on yourself. Do you feel the same? Yeah. Yeah, dude. Yeah, totally. Say more than that, though. Don't just say yeah. Like making meaningful conversation over text is fucking impossible. Yeah, I feel the same way. Communication is 93% non-verbal. Let's just go, I feel the same way. It's like torture. It's calling the phone. I mean, it's not that much better, but at least it's not just text on a page and you get a little bit of a person, you know? So what do I do? We're all on the same boat. We just have to get through it. I don't know. Then everything will go back to normal, or we'll create a new normal. I know. You're right. I'm gonna try to go to sleep now. All right. I'm sorry that you're feeling so bad. Good night. Good night. Little heart. No! There you go. There you go. It is tough. It is tough. May 3rd, 2020. How've you been feeling about everything? Little better, thanks. Glad to hear. This is two days later, I think. I think this is the third. And we talked to them originally on the first day. Do you remember the night of Jackson's party? Oh boy. Do I, you know? The pool was filled with water, drinks in hand, eyes filled with light reflecting off my retinas or whatever. And that's how sight happens. Man, air filled with smells. And you. Were there. I remember it. We got bored and went for a walk. Oh yeah, a walk. I remember. We laid down under that big oak tree and looked at the stars through the leaves. It's pretty romantic, TBH. That sounds like a lovely eve. Did something else happen? Did we shock? You told me about your childhood and I told you about mine. Some deep convos were happening and now look at us. Yeah, I remember. Sure, what about it? Hmm. Let's go with yeah, I remember. There's some feelings about to be spilled. It was really nice. Remember just interacting with those people? Think about that a lot. Me too. I wish. Me too. You should have left the triple dog. Left it open. Sharing your feelings. Why aren't you sharing your feelings? Is that where it ended? May 18th, 2020. Hey, can I ask you something? Why do you abbreviate? Just say something. Of course you can. Are we gonna have an option? Oh, I meant to jump. But can I ask you something first? I meant to jump, but are we actually gonna ask? Sure. Never mind you go first. I really like you. And every day I regret not asking you out before. This shit happened. I mean, it seems like that's the thing. Let's do it. Not even, not even editing that text. I thought I was gonna edit the text. Don't leave on red. Don't leave on red. Oh boy. That's not really a question. More statement. Hello? Hello? Oh, these dots. These dots, these dots give me so much anxiety. Nothing. That's really sweet. Butt. The butt. Oh, the butt. Oh, the butt. Why did you ever ask me out? I didn't wanna screw things up. I was just about to. I didn't know you felt that way. I didn't wanna screw things up. Oh, I see. Well, I really wish you had rats, dude. Me too. It's my biggest regret. Well, at least you have something to look forward to now. I'm sorry. Let's do the top one. I think. Oh, oh. Was that what you were gonna ask me? Question mark. Ah-ha. Ah-ha, cool. Just know I think you're really great. Oh, I think you're really, really great. I'm gonna lose my mind. Let's do that. Okay. Sure. This definitely is very like high school-ish. Flirting. Oh, just like. Thanks. I like you. Okay, bye. Sorry for bringing this up. I just wanted to know how you felt. I wish you didn't. Ooh, no worries at all. I was just meaning to ask you. No, don't be sorry. I'm glad you did. Let's do that. Very glad. Cool. Gonna head to bed now. Good night. Send that heart. Do it, dude. Send that heart. Oh. Oh. Oh. Dude. Wait, gonna head to bed. It's 7.30. What are you doing? Bed at 7.30. The heart has its reasons. Of which reasons? No. Of which reason knows nothing. You might be thousands of miles away, but I've never felt closer to anyone in my life. That's nice. He's 69. You up. And then we just stay here for four hours. Cause they weren't, they were asleep and they did not hear the phone go off. Yeah, what's up? Just bored, been thinking a lot. Got something to tell you. Let's go with this. How many, what was the day before? What are you thinking about? I've been listening to a lot of music recently. Let's go with you. You, baby. Just you. But I've been thinking about how you smell really bad sometimes and maybe you should bathe more. Song I'm listening to right now reminds me of you. But what song is it? Is it the question? What song? Falling for you? Juicy? Somebody like you? Wouldn't it be nice? Falling for you. What's falling for you? Is that, is that the emo song that's actually stuck in my head right now? Hold on, wait, wait, wait, wait. Falling for you. Oh, no, it's not. I thought it was The best thing about tonight is that we're not fighting. Could it be that we have been this way before? No, you don't think that I am trying. No, you're winning me down through the car. But hold your breath. Tonight will be the night that I will fall for you over again. Don't make me change my mind. I won't live to see another day. I swear it's true. I miss yours too. Do you maybe wanna call? Hey, isn't that a nice, you can call them. Hear your voice, dude. Achieve an unlawed, I miss the sound of your voice right now. Yeah. Hey, day 72. Hey, bro, what's up? Y'all have iMessage? Using an Android, all right. Just playing some rank to you, oh my God. I'm losing my shit. About what? Ah, fuck, dude, what's up? I just feel like texting is so shitty, you know? It's just like words, words. What do they even mean, you know? Think about that a lot. Oh, I got you. Yeah, I don't know, just words. Man, listen, man, she's totally into you. You just gotta stay strong. Just to know how to get to the next level without actually being there physically. I just don't know how sustainable a relationship over text is. I think this is the one. So this is hard. Especially like long distance relationships are really, really hard. Just gotta wait it out and remember. No sound, shut up. Fucking shut up. Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up. I hate that. Wanna play a quick game? Yeah. Yeah, dude. See you in the World of Grouch Field. Achievement unlocked, bro. Day 80. We're catching up to real life. It's June 11th right now. Yo, hey, forgot to ask. Got any summer plans? Other than staying inside? Who am I texting right now? Cause it seems weird that we'd started with yo. I did. What happened? I wonder what happened? Sorry. Sorry, mate. Just wanna see my friends. You will soon. Enough. What if we had a little, is this the same person? Been watching any good movies? Is this the same person? Same girl from before? Seems very different. I mean, time has passed, but my dad took away my Netflix. Why? What'd you do? During quarantine? No Netflix. That makes you go, oh man, be sad. Yeah, big, big sad town. Yeah, me too. Been up to anything else? I gotta go, sorry. Is this the same person? This is no fun. Damn. June 18th, that's a week from now. Bra moment. Hey, hi. Hey. Did they turn off their reed receipts? They turned off their reed receipts. Do you miss me? I can't even tell if this is the same person. Wait, the reed receipts are back on. Okay, sure. Same old, same old. Been outside much? Everything feels so awkward. Is this the same person? Not really still quarantined. It is the same person. Still going on hikes? I bet they're gonna be like, oh, I gotta go, bye. Not as many as I'd like to. Do you think? Go back to normal with us when school, when we get back? Dude. Really asking how the weather is? This is rough. Not as good as the weather back at college, of course. I gotta go. July 4th, it's just gonna be, hey, oh. Painful, painful. It's painful. Anything? I meant to ask you to help. I meant to ask to help you with your bags when you're moving. Wait, no, I wanna know about the moving out thing. Oh, this is where we get left on red. Maybe not. The triple dot no text. You ready to go back? I feel like this is the end. Will there? We still got a long time, though. It's so awkward. Aren't you excited? The yep. So awkward, dude. This is painful. Well, especially because it just went from everything's great, we like each other, hey, whoa, yay, and then to this. Worried about what? What are you worried about, huh? And then it ends. Oh my God. Day 160 August, oh my God. Oh my God, dude. How much more pain? What are you up to? Just finished unpacking all my stuff. Now that we're back, wanna grab something to eat? Is this the first time that everyone's back in real life or whatever? Oh, okay. Hoo ha, hoo ha. She thrills me with just a smile. That took a turn with the whole world crumbling. I picked the right time to fall for her. This since means so little when someone means so much. I love her and that's the beginning and end of everything. Interesting. Well, this is really cool. This is a really, really interesting game. Don't wait. You never know when you might be too late. Well, a realistic mode unlocked. Well, that's gonna do it for me with this game. I know that the world might seem really uncertain right now and things might seem really weird and crazy and stressful, but just know that with time we will get through this. We might not go completely back to the way that things were. I'm sure that in the future we're gonna take different precautions and stuff like that and I think we might have to find a new normal, but we will be able to interact with each other again and spend time together physically. It might take a sec, but we just gotta be patient. We gotta just take it a day at a time. I know that it's really hard. And yeah, just stick in there. Reach out to people as much as you can. Talk to people, whether it's through text on the phone, FaceTime, whatever, and just be there for each other. And remember to cut yourself some slack too. We're going through so much stuff right now. 2020 has really been a wild year, but specifically with this, we're going through a global pandemic. Cut yourself some slack. If you don't feel like you've been as productive or you feel like you've been lazy or if you're worried about your own self-image, like you haven't been working out as much as you did or whatever you might be feeling, just remember to cut yourself some slack because no one's really ever gone through this before and nobody really knows what's the right thing to do, what's the wrong thing to do, but give yourself some credit because this is a hard thing to deal with on a day-to-day basis and it's really weird to have all of this suddenly just shoved onto us and then we just have to figure it out and deal with it. So cut yourself some slack. I hope that you guys are doing okay. So thank you guys so much for watching. Hope you enjoyed it. If you did, make sure to slap that like button right in the face and I will see you guys in the next video. Love you all. Stay cranky. Bye.
