"I feel like my life is on hold until the game is done" such a great quote

Now hear me out, I absolutely love this conversation between John and Thomas, however, Thomas my boy, let the man speak. I want to hear Johns opinions in full, he builds momentum and then gets interrupted. I love this format and hope one day I get to have a conversation with you as an indie dev to indie dev but my guy, let the man finish his sentence before jumping in.

I must say I’m consistently surprised that seemingly nobody knows that Mead is actually a honey wine and not a beer 😅

Never expected this duo - I clicked immediately and already know this will be one of my favorite videos from you both.

Holy shit, Thomas, you've basically interviewed my entire YouTube subscription list over the last 2-3 months 😄 Jonas Tyroller, Mark Brown, Jon Blow... and now Lost Relic? I think the only YouTuber left for you to cover after this would be the guy making Astortion, that would be friggin awesome!

I disagree with Thomas on replacing the drumsticks/cheesewheels in Blood and Mead with beer. You can still show the main character drinking mead at the beginning of a trailer and raging at enemies, which is one of the hooks.

John did a GREAT job interviewing Thomas here. Great insights from Thomas. And John did an EXCELLENT job allowing Thomas to thoroughly explore his topics. 10/10 Can't wait to see who John interviews next!

I relate to the dread John talks about and the feeling of your life being "on hold". I feel like my life hasn't even started until I make something that does well

Stumbled on your channel recently. You've gotten some amazing guests with some incredible insight. You seem to interject a lot when they're in the middle of a thought which is like a pop up unskippable cutscene interrupting gameplay.<br><br>I do like hearing your thoughts as well, but i think those would be better saved for monologue videos and use more of a listening mode for interviews instead of a "me too - here's what i think" over your guests more thoughtful answers.

I hate to be mean but this was probably a better conversation to be had in private. I wanted to see John interviewed but it felt like Thomas took the spotlight.
