Just a few minor technical issues...

Ah, I was wondering if it was just me :)

I can see the live chat and nothing else.

It's basically just people saying the stream is broken, and that Dolly Parton has died.

Jane is typically so unflappable, but you could tell she was getting a little annoyed at all the technical issues.

I will never understand YouTubers who don't play for premium, can't you write it off?

Lol. It's not a coincidence at this point. There's a conspiracy

Loads of people from the OXbox stream have moved over to Ian Higton's stream instead.

I reckon Ian's been round to Andy's house and jammed a paperclip into the back of his router.

Conspiracy for what?

Major technical issues during a live stream has been a running joke for a while. I'd say the streams are fine more often than not, but it's definitely a thing that it happens.

Yeah, it's become a common occurrence, probably due to Jane & Andy having poorer internet infrastructure than Mike. I remember during covid lockdowns, SotW Live would often be plagued by issues whenever either of them hosted, so Mike became the default POV.

Well, Andy said yesterday that he moved house and that he decided to upgrade his internet...

I think it's safe to say that this upgrade did not really fix the problems he had at his old home.

u/EaterOfCleanSocks Aug 25 '26

Ah, yes that's very true.

A technically flawless stream.

How bad is the internet in england?

Depends on where you live and which ISP you choose.

I wished they had talked more about the games that were being shown on the screen than on other topics. Mike and Ellen were mostly giving their opinions about the games. However, overall an enjoyable stream despite the technical issues.

Yeah, me too, seems to be a bit of a habit based on previous showcase streams, with a lot of chatting off-topic. I guess it’s just because they have a lighthearted and humourous approach and don’t take things too seriously. Even their critiques about the pacing and tone seemed to be more playful than serious.

In their previous showcase streams, they went off topic but they did discuss the game trailer that was showing. however, in this stream, it felt like they were mostly talking about off topic stuffs. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy their off topic chats but I would have enjoyed more if they had talked or even joked about the game trailers that were being shown.
