i can't go to hell - i'm all out of vacation days. i watch space rocks and yell at computers for my day job. probably too old for any of this

 

i think i might be burned out on internet social. it's hard to keep doing it. it's hard to even maintain the amount of attention i'm already giving it

 

i am the cause of most of my own problems

 

furthermore, capitalism must be destroyed

It's called "Who Wants To Be A La-Mulanaionaire".
You play La-Mulana (for the first time), as normal, but when you get stuck you have various lifelines you can call on per stream when you get stuck, including "Poll chat" and "phone a friend" or a Yes/No question or something.

I think this is a good solution to puzzle games with galaxy brain solutions that you'd struggle to solve on your own without resorting to cheats or walkthroughs, and light enough guidance you have to do it all yourself but you can spare yourself a completely wild goose chase. PLUS, the potential for mitigating the difficulty of obscure and inscrutable puzzles by asking questions means the streamer is responsible for their own wild goose chases and for asking the wrong questions of the chat or interpreting information incorrectly.

This would be funny and I will do this if I ever play La-Mulana or Void Stranger but I'm offering it as a free idea for anyone else and you can do it as long as you say "Aevee Bee you're a genius and you worked so hard on this" on stream.

in reply to @mammonmachine's post:

One of my favorite things about DROD's community is, it being an old game, has a community forum with individual threads per puzzle, and not only is heavy spoiler tagging encouraged, so are progressive hints.

So the first forum response or three are usually just nudges in the right direction, before someone out and out spoils the answer.

It's kinda hard to recreate that sort of experience in the modern world, though.
