Game Clearing Streams

"'Gotta beat 'em all'"Game Clearing dedicates the entire stream time to one particular game (and maybe moving on to the next one after it's done, time permitting).

The name is derived from Japanese gaming culture lingo, especially regarding games from Japan or video games in general by Japanese people or particular gaming otakus. The word "clear" (as in, clearing a hurdle) is used to refer to beating a single stage, or group of stages, in a video game. You'll see this term in completion percentage rates as well, hence the term "100% clear", for example. (It also sounds better than "game beating".......)

With such a large collection of games at Jon's disposal it's hard to try and give them all the time they deserve, let alone beat them. That is what the Game Clearing streams are for. Normally taking place on Monday, these streams are dedicated to beating games in Jon's backlog.

The stream has evolved into different themes now for each year. Each game clearing year has been successful with the goals that are laid out for them; however, it's also taken a bit of a backseat ever since the Xenoblade Chronicles playthrough that started in 2022 due to a TRG Colosseum Incentive, which ended up replacing Monday's stream slot near the end of the story.
