And Uge Asks Viewers to Hold Back Game Details as She Works Through Resident Evil

774INC — And Uge asked viewers on Sunday not to share information that has not appeared in a game itself while she plays it for the first time, as she begins working through the Resident Evil series. On a drinking stream, she said she would rather learn the rest from fan analysis after she finishes a game, and that having it handed to her earlier feels like having that taken away.

She said she is glad when fans of a long-running series join her chat, and that she does not want to spoil the mood by scolding anyone. She added that she had blocked a comment calling the stream boring within three seconds because she took it as meant to hurt, which she separated from viewers who simply want to share what they know. Viewers do not need to step in on her behalf, she said; if something bothers her, she will say so herself.

“I don’t really want to know, on a first playthrough, information that hasn’t come up in the game.” — And Uge, on playing a game blind

She said she bought several Resident Evil titles on Steam after the previous day’s long stream, while a sale was running through the 4th. She had played only the seventh and eighth games before, and the second was her first time through. Her manager had suggested starting from the second game before moving on to Requiem, and viewers offered other orders, but she said she began the series because she wanted to play Requiem and would go in the order she chooses. If spoilers become tiresome, she said, she would play off-stream and post a video instead. She added that the story had pulled her in and that she understood why fans love the series.

The stream opened with a Halloween toast, and she said she would drink only a little. She keeps Mondays and Thursdays alcohol-free and does not keep drink at home on those days, which she said has left her drinking less on other days too, and drinking more coffee. She called one drink she was having delicious but would not name it, promising to do so in a solo drinking stream the day after tomorrow. The next evening at 7 p.m., she said, she would play Bomb Banana with Anko and Kanon.

The talk wandered on to the convenience-store oden noodles she remembered from years ago, whether Ajinomoto makes a difference, and what bay leaf is for, and she read a mock letter from Tony, who lives with her, complaining that Mama no longer plays with him. Viewers kept asking for a hint about the drink, and two Super Chats came in.
