I find it very odd that someone chose this video to blatantly rip, the STAFF PICK channel chose this to reupload

As someone whos met him in person very briefly after a very odd performace of his latest tour, (i could tell even he didnt think it went as it was suppsoed to.) alot of his traits are very similar to the show. He seems to carry alot of anxiety, which i can also relate to. But he is just as quiet and socially anxoius irl as he is in the show, maybe even more so. Absolutely appreciated him vieng wilking to sign my stuff after my ex was kinda pushy about him signing my shirt after he signed my hat. I was really apologetic for bothering him, and hw was super sweet about the whole thing.

the moment i heard the signalis ost start playing i knew you were a goat

i love games that portray mental illnesses. for me personally, i have truly loved the games milk inside and outside of a bag, omori, and looking up i only see a ceiling. i cherish these games close to my heart, and some of them i have a very close relation to. games like these have made me feel like "hey, maybe im not truly alone." and the games bring much comfort to me, as well as because it isn't just so dehumanizing to be a person suffering from multiple mental illnesses. nevertheless, thank you for this video. its very well written. have a wonderful day, person i have founded on the internet.

you would love doki doki literature club.

thank you so much for a really respectful way to talk about the game! i feel like many analyses i see about this game are solution/diagnosis oriented, trying to figure out exactly what’s going on, instead of thinking about why it’s important that we don’t really know! one of my favorite games ever and im so glad to see it get the thoughtful commentary it deserves

What is the lovely piano music between 11:34 to 12:48 ?

The sanity meter discussion left me with a really bad taste in my mouth. You act like sanity is anything other than just a nod to the lovecraftian idea of horrors beyond our comprehension. For the games you mentioned nobody ever claimed that it was in any way supposed to be an accurate representation of mental illness and I've *never* seen anyone think it's actually realistic. If you read lovecraft you would get why it's so cool - especially in Bloodborne and Darkest Dungeon with insight and stress respectively. This is just virtue signalling and an argument in bad faith

I sometimes think of the future of mental health like in the Cyberpunk world, a world where machinery enhances and diminishes of mental health. Only in an extreme form, no in-between. But seeing mental health portrayed in the modern age really makes me think if it'll be improvise for the better in the future...?

Beautiful analysis of a game that has really stuck with me

great video

God I miss this show so much. I honestly didn't even discover it until after it was canceled, but I started watching it when I was in a severe depression and it basically pulled me out of it. Watching the end of season 3 and realizing "this is all there is" felt so bad.

Imagine this; You’re a hamster living underground. You have everything for comfortable living. What happens next? Okay so imagine you’re a hamster living underground. You have everything you need for comfortable living. (I love these games xD)

I don't know about other people but I found the games comforting.

whats the song at 10:00?

i just started watching this show a few days ago and i absolutely fell in love with it. everything about it is just so great. the music especially is a really great part of the show. the whole atmosphere and feeling of it is so relaxing. i definitely feel like this is the greatest show ive seen. it's so unique and very refreshing

it makes me really sad that the show got cancelled

*minor spoilers for the film Almost fittingly in line with one of the concepts that the film explores towards the end, I interpreted the interview between Kawakami and Murakami as two things being true at the same time. In much of the same way that Oto and Misaki's mother have hurt their loved ones while still having loved them, the same could be said about Murakami's portrayal of women in his writing. He may not intentionally be misogynist, and is clearly well intentioned about women, but a lot of the criticism about his portrayal of women can be attributed to the more complex intertwined systems that lead to both men and women alike to have subconscious patriarchal biases. So, ultimately, the more important conversation isn't whether or not Murakami is actually sexist, or whether Oto or Misaki's mother loved Yusuke and Misaki respectively, but rather what are the things that led to these things in the first place.

i played both games today and they for the most part were more comforting than terrifying

He gives me the same comfort as an adult that Mr. Rodgers gave me as a child.

I have never been clinically depressed but i have definitively had a lot of tough moments in my life and i can relate a lot to the online friends scene and to the insomnia

I feel like it's also important to distinguish between "mental health" and "insanity" as themes/motives in art. Bloodborne plays into the ancient concept of "madmen" being able to access forbidden knowledge that is unattainable to normal people, mental health is a comparatively modern concept that coincides with the "medicalization" of the mind. The difference is pretty apparent imo when you consider that in bloodborne, darkest dungeon, dead space etc. the "mental health issues" are caused by contact with the supernatural, with things that cannot be understood by humans, meanwhile depression is not cause by reality bending experiences but by very real things that people deal with all over the world. Those 2 things are connected and it is definitively interesting to see how over time the mind became seen more from a medical than from a immaterial or even spiritual perspective but i feel like you conflate the 2 somewhat at the beginning when you talk about bloodborne so i wanted to bring this up

bro casually drops signalis' Die toteninsel, causing all sad neurons to fire up all at once

I love sleeping to this vid every night thanks man love the work

I just found this video and wanted to thank you for including that speech about water, I haven't gotten a chance to watch it in full yet so I really appreciate you referencing parts of it! i found Joe Peras talks you to sleep video this last winter and have been listening to his sleep themed podcast ever since, I have insomnia, agoraphobia and complex PTSD, he helps ground me on days i dont feel human!

Thank you for such videos❤️❤️✨

I think personally I've come to think that milk might be alcohol-the father gets it on the way home, and she gets it at the store, and often when on many psychiatric medications alcohol can be dangerous and even deadly. There's also my personal interpretation that her room is empty, or at least almost empty, and that she can only hold one image of where things are supposed to be in her head and once you move things it all falls apart for her, as she says. This interpretation came from the trailer for Milk2's Switch trailer, where in her room she has nothing in her room, it's entirely empty. Every time I play the game I see more I relate to, more possible interpretations, it's a very dense game to me, and I love it dearly.

i like cars they're cute

Great video but as an extreme Bloodborne fan i gotta point out Madman's knowledge (the item you showed when mentioning Bloodborne) isn't an item that even implies that the insane are more inclined to see eldritch horrors. it's from the idea that eldritch horrors *break your brain* the reason it gives insight is its the explicit eldritch knowledge Madness and insanity has been a side effect of seeing things we as humans cannot comprehend but is not meant to be portrayed as actual insanity but as your brain being broken by them Now i know i probably completely missed what you were saying, and if so, i apologize

I love the fact that the endings are dreams yet milk girl had stated ever since she had gotten ill she hasn’t been able to dream I like to believe that she is recovering some dreams are even in colour

She’s just like me fr

This game hits me hard in so many ways

beautiful

I love sarcastic-less comedy...it's a breath of fresh air in the world snide, snarky humor

Joe’s comedy is so surreal, it’s normal.

You skipped(probably didnt know it existed) the best Murakami adaptation its by far Tony Takitani really hidden gem, and there is the anime series Haibane Renmei( influenced heavily by Hardboiled Wonderland and the End of the World)

Short stories make better films because the directors can tell the story readers expected to see plus flesh them out. Novels get reduced for film which is upsetting to readers.

Amazing video, as always. Your channel is criminally neglected. I guess your taste is too good for the masses.

You have great taste and takes!

I think of Mister Roger's....

Great video. I really liked your thoughtful analysis coupled with your own life experience. I’m very excited to see what else you make ❤

once in a while, i find a small channel with an amazing video essay about something i havent heard about. thank you for making this video

The omori music 🥹💕

Massive Joe Pera fan here.. but the Andy Kaufmanish thing going on here should be explored further. The whole “he’s the new Mr. Rogers” thing is a very surface interpretation (which is fine of course). Hoping someone can dive deeper on this topic.

Joe is a healing balm in a burning world.

About the second "death sequence" - in the original, Russian text of the game, the line used for "I imagine myself falling into the abyss" goes more along the lines of "I take a mental (as in, imaginary) leap into the abyss" so its quite direct in the way that the scene is just her visualizing it.

Such a great essay on these games, loved it! ❤

nothing, its a shity overrated movie

I thought (maybe i read somewhere) that it was kind of implied in the games that her mom might’ve pushed her dad out the window, but maybe i’m completely misremembering things
