Great.

Well, one of the big reasons why I'm reluctant to stream when I'm working on theories is that most of the time it's going to be repetitive and boring.

This is what my desktop looked like for most of today while I was researching Bendy:

I had a second screen open too, with links from the Wiki. And it was mostly me repeatedly posing the playthrough to take notes, then start it up again.

In about five hours, I covered 30 minutes of the playthrough. Although that did involve researching How To Get The Tommy Gun, the background files on several of the characters, watching multiple people kill The Projectionist to see if he left a persisting body, and splicing that into the notes so everything would be in one place: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1em7-I7ySC0CYo5xDRhgSVI02YqWopqijAD6zs2fN2ls/edit?usp=sharing

Breakthroughs aren't something you can summon on command, they happen when they happen.

Like I described in the script, it took me 3 months of downtime thinking during work to try every possibility, before I settled on the Mad Scientist Theory for FNAF. There was certainly a large Try Hard element to it, where I simply didn't give up.

You can increase the chance a breakthrough will happen by gathering a lot of information in one place and getting a good top-down picture of the lore, but in between those moments is a lot of frustration. None of which would be interesting on a Twitch stream.
