Can you please play Batman the enemy with in please
love ur vids
wow 2nd? ok
The way it told him to start with the spices and he started with the onions. And then he saw the spices… and started with the onions again 😭
32:50 the implication could either be bc if this is from mom’s pov she might not catch everything since he speaks fast and it’s her second language. Another is that he’s a child. Unfortunately many children are thrust into the responsibility of interpreter/translator but they lack the experience to gauge nuance and may not have the right words for the situation. The muddiness could be his imperfect interpretation of what the mom is trying to ask.
When you read "dad's anniversary" from the texts I assumed it was a death anniversary 😭. Kavin arguing with his mom about overpacking (smelly) food is so relatable lol. Being a 1st and 2nd gen immigrant is tough... to juggle assimilating and retaining cultural traditions simultaneously (I am a 2nd gen Viet American). Kavin coming around trying to reconnect to his roots is also relatable and where my cousins and I are at now in our adult lives with our aging parents.
Funnily enough, I am sort of proud of my name. So the story goes, my parents weren't sure what to name me after I was born and they were going over a few options in the hospital. Christine came up as an option, and my grandfather claimed, "girls aren't smart enough to spell a name that long." Hi, my name is Christine. 😆
Yikes. Gramps needs to get with the times 💀
@@doggycatalan Grandpa was very much a man of his time, for sure. He did get better as his grandchildren grew, though. I remember him as a funny, strong, proud man until his last day, and I'm happy to have my name attached to him, even in a sort of dark comedic way 😁
That's a better story than mine lol. My mom gave me the name of her favorite soap opera character
@@Aphelia. its so cool tho!
This makes me think of my mom. My maternal grandmother was always so worried about standing out as an immigrant that she wouldn’t let my mom do certain things because she was worried that she would be targeted for them- but she also really struggled to assimilate. Every time my mom asked to be able to do the same thing as her peers, my grandmother would always dismiss the request and say: “that’s some American thing.” I think it was really hard for my mom not having a cultural anchor at home or at school.
My grandpa was the first of his Japanese family to be born on Brazil, almost 100 years ago.
His name was supposed to be Yoshioka Noboro, last name Yoshioka, first name Naboro.
When he was registered, they wrote Yoshioka Nabor (without the O), being Yoshioka the first name and Nabor the last. To add to the confusion, he also had the "social name" Roberto, not sure if it is written on his documents or not. No one ever called him Roberto, even if it is a "Brazilian name", everyone just called him Nabor, not because they know it was supposed to be his first name, but because it is easier to say.
Anyway, his entire name is my dad's middle and last name M. Yoshioka Nabor, and Nabor bacame my last name S. T. Nabor.
Even if it is spelled wrong, I still love my last name 😊
😢 this hit home for me big time. I was effectively a single dad for about 6 years, and food was my love language, for both myself and children. Cooking is art, culture, family, expressions of love and care, and so much more.
Beautiful 🥲🙏🏻
😢 Wow now you got me sad that I never had kids
biryani is my favorite food AND SEEING U BUTCHER IT- im literally screaming at the screen
You say you're fragile, I HEAR empathy. Its a great quality to have. Treasure it.
And anyway being jaded and cynical is soo '80's. ❤
Edit: I'm not crying, your crying. Ok I'm crying, too🧅
A beautiful story! As a child of immigrant parents i can relate to this and it's true whether we grew up ashamed or not of our culture we really don't fully appreciate it and what it means to our parents until we are much older. To them it isn't just tradition it's what gives them their identity.
At the mention of moms getting cold food because they're busy making food for their kids, I was reminded of how when my mom makes pancakes, she'll make some for me and my brother with chocolate chips (she prefers her pancakes without) and ask us how many we think we'll eat. At the end she makes a giant pancake with all the batter left so her "mom pancake" is always hot for her to eat (dad always has cold pancakes because he doesn't want to stop whatever he's doing to come eat lol)
No wonder they cant make rent with all the ingredients you used and threw away🤣🤣 thanks for the vid morph, a cosy tuesday night 😍
fun fact: when you were making rice flour, the "lump" on the blue square was actually just a mound of fine rice, not a lump.
Watching you play this made me cry, so i bought it to show my mexican mom. She moved to the us at 18 but she still felt so distant from us. Shes liked it so far.
Totally got me, I still cry when I think of my mom's cooking. I always wanted for her to be here cooking with me and my kids. I only wish my daughters had the some of what my son was able to briefly experience....
I don't know how you keep your composure sometimes! You manage to read on and I'm just sobbing thinking 'how is his voice not cracking?!' Haha. Lovely lovely game 💜
Had to pre-watch this for the missus, just in case the sadness level was too high, but I think it's just the right level. Very moving game, rather eye-opening tbh. I've never had to consider this sort of situation beyond the theoretical, being a standard American--but my lady is from Latin America, and I've watched her struggle with the divide between the culture she knew and the one she's absorbing. It's fascinating to see this angle on the struggle someone faces when they move to another country, and the struggle of growing up between worlds. Thank you for playing this. It gives me some things to think about.
As a Tamilian I am actually so excited to see a game about my culture played by you, since I’ve been watching you for a long time now!
Edit: wth game! I didn’t need to cry while I did my psych homework!
Malayali here and same! I was so excited by all the dishes, I wasn't expecting to be crying throughout the vid
@@krithikavinod8844 yeah like I expected all the popular dishes like dosa and biriyani, but the inclusion of lesser know south Indian dishes was so cool, made me hungry lol
This game is a surprising emotional gem. It hit me hard as I lost almost my entire family. It's up to me now to be the roots for the ones that depend on me. Life captured in a short sweet game.
Nothing makes an evening cozier than seeing Morph upload! ❤
This game so cute, reminded to appreciate my family and culture as well. Thank you for playing it :)
i cried when i played this a few weeks ago, and i cried again watching this 😭 it’s such a sad, but relatable story … whether you’re the kid or the parent. such a good story game
ever since a friend of mine wrote a paper on this game I wanted to see you play it! Love to be able to watch you play through this one!
for the muddied speech bubbles - my take is that Venba has trouble understanding those phrases of english, they are more often more complicated phrases, the easier phrases - like thank you etc - are easier to understand for her
@@-Anouck-yeah it is that. You can also see that when it's from Kavin's pov we don't get any muddled speech since he didn't see how she couldn't quite catch what he was saying.
It really goes to show, always be there for your parents, because they won't be around forever. What a beautiful game... It's got me emotional... gosh 🥺
Hey there... An Indian Tamil here.... So proud of this game... So happy my favorite gamer played it... I love my origins, and I love my Morph...
Funnily, when u said "Chopping the fish" The song in background said caught the fish and chopping it up and dried with salt
I started full on crying during the fraud part and then i nodded because i knew if you werent reading the text it was because you were crying too morph.
This is a good one, i like this game
Man this game made me cry... made me wanna hug my nani and i am so ever grateful for everyone who brought me up
44:09 gotta bloom the spices, that's why everything be tasting so good 😋
Definitely. There's also an in-between when people just can't or won't pronounce it correctly. My confidence increased when I picked a name that people can pronounce and that I like, because I don't have to keep correcting people
I dont make it often but my signature dish is Salmon fettichini alfredo with brocolli. I even make the alfredo sauce myself 😊
Been waiting for this one! It's such a lovely aesthetic and you've just the right softness to relate the story 😄
Awww Morph! Sending you big hugs! 🤍🤍🤍 Lovely play through! Your videos make it easy for me to relax and go to sleep ! Cheers!
the fact that this actually made me cry so much, it makes me rethink of what my parents have done so much for me ❤
I’m looking forward to watching this 😁 I love the art style! It’s so cute
nothing better than a morphy upload after a long day. excited to watch this! 🙌
Ohhh Canada! Thank you for another wonderful cozy play through 😊❤
Dude you always manage to find great games like damn
After the absolute horrific day I’ve had today finding there is a new Morph upload. Life isn’t so bad anymore. Sending hugs to everyone ❤
Fellow Leo here, can’t imagine having kids. Cats are my children.
Yessss ☺ I really want to play Venba. I am happy to watch your playthrough of the game!
Proud of you morph, that's some A grade cooking😊❤
Oooooh i love this game! I'm so happy you played it!
Morph saying ' Kanna' makes me so happy
Hope I said it right!
@MadMorph Ha ha yes, it was adorable the way you say it.
This was really good. Thanks for playing so i could see it. Great game
omg i've been waiting for you to play this
Wow even the characters don’t want to stay in Canada lol 😂 I don’t blame them lol
i miss my mother as she sadly passed away last month and we had her funeral recently..
I’m so sorry for your lost ❤
Much love to you🙏🏻💕please take care of yourself ✨️
@@galaxyclan2666 thank you~ ❤
thank you and i'll try~ ❤
I'm so sorry you are going through this loss. :'( Please make sure you take care~ sending you warm hugs xo
I love your videos!! 💖
Morphy cry, I cry. That's just my bear cult upbringing, tho. Daddy stuff... gets me evvvryy time.😢 But enough about that! I make a very wonderful vegetarian chili. Have it over a baked sweet potato. A little spicy, savory and sweet. Very filling, very comfort. Big 🐻 hug💕for lovely playthrough.
This game was amazing! I mean, I didn't cry, because I have no soul, but it was so adorable and just nice. I really enjoyed this.
1:15:00 morph, in the texts between her and her son, she literally mentions the dads anniversary and he asks her if she’s ok 😭 yes he’s passed
My comfort food is grilled cheese! I love making it for me and my siblings at the end of long days
I suspected when it was an Indian couple living in Canada it would be around Toronto. I briefly suspected Vancouver, but that tends to attract more east Asians, and Montreal takes all the French-speaking immigrants.
It's interesting, I didn't get emotional watching this, but by the very end I actually stopped and had a long think. My mom is 1st gen, I'm 2nd South American...I honestly didn't connect food as a love/cultural language growing up, heck, even now it kinda just hit me. Now that I'm living a whole state away from my parents, and as I get older, I notice I converse with my mom about the foods I'm cooking a lot! LOL Just this evening I sent her a picture of something I made & she called me right away. We spent the rest of our convo doing little bits of catch up, but I'm amazed how much was food-related in retrospect. She talked about what she made & wanted to share the recipe. This, inadvertently has become part of our 'love language' to one another I've realized, and THAT is making me emotional now. 🥺Truly time passes so quickly the older you get, and tomorrow is never promised, so thanks for sharing this gameplay...it was a gentle reminder of love, cultural change over generations & how we are all just figuring it out the first time on this earth. xoxo
What a sweet and sad game. Thank you ❤
wow you did all the recipes right the first try 👏👏👏
brb texting my mom i love her immediately. (I did before this video, its her birthday!)
Perfect🤗 💎
Oh my Dear Lord, I'm literally sobbing. I haven't seen my mom in over 13 years and it's not out of choice. I live in Canada and she in Syria. Every time I tell her that I want to visit her, she begs me to not to come because of the war in Syria. My heart is aching so much. I plan not to listen to her and just one day show up once I save enough money. There honestly is nothing more important that family to me. That is where home is.
What an amazing game. Life is short, we have to use it well.
Am not crying you are 😭😭😭
Wow im impressed by the first try ❤️❤️
crazy how morph got all those recipes right the first time with no mistakes!! great work :D also im really curious about that bit of dialogue where venba said she was getting a lot of pushback for being with her husband -- are they from different religions or ethnic groups?
I assume they're from different castes? Please, anyone who knows more about this weigh in, but India has a caste system which - while there is action being taken to make things more equal - is pretty ingrained culturally.
O' Canada 🇨🇦 you should come back!❤
I’ve seen that you have played some of the Life is Strange games on your channel and I’d love for you to do a little throwback and play the original Life is Strange game. (You may have already played the game on your channel, I just haven’t found the video yet) I love that game and your videos so much!! 😊
Watching you play this honestly just stressed me out so much 😅 Like, nooo the order is right there
1:19:07 Morph, I’m proud of you 🐻
I'm Tamil just like the characters and I feel like I'm cheating because I can read all the untranslated Tamil recipes/text hehehehe
Actually you fry spices first to release the taste. Anyway that scene when Kavin taste his dish remind me of Ratatouille scene.
Even without any culture shock, the scene with my parents preparing me for university played out almost exactly the same for almost exactly the same reasons... Just all the smothering "trying to help" with my parents were setting me up to be isolated from all the other students at the dorms by making sure I had every possible appliance and supply stock in my dorm room in advance.
I wanna make the dishes from Venba. I would love to try these!
oh canada!! i’m a canadian viewer of yours, thanks for the shoutout 🇨🇦❤
O Canada 😆🇨🇦. I hope you get to visit again someday. 👋🏻
You should play cemetery mary! It's a multi ending game and pretty fun! I would love to see how you would react to what happens
this game made me sad that my immigrant parents stopped feeling like china was home, and feel uncomfortable going back due to america and chinas strained relationship ;,(
Cooking mama with feels, yay!
Please play Pentiment next! It's so underrated and not enough people know how good it is!
Canadian living in the US!! Applying for my dual citizenship in February 🥳🥳
Damn this game has some banger music
So when Kavin speaks English (the yellow text) the mum can’t understand fully and that’s why it’s muddy. When he speaks their native language (the white text) the mum can understand and it’s clear at least I think that’s how it goes
Sobbing.
You should try The Wild At Heart! I genuinely cried at one part.
46:01
Wow❤
Wow! ♥
1:27:25
Arik Einstein's songs are my go to music
I see that Dad died somewhere between 2006 and 2014. Do we get to know what happened to him?
I don't think we do- I think they didn't mention how he died because that's not what mattered.
Yeah when you were reading back on the texts the mom said to the son it was his anniversary and to message what I assume wa the uncle. So sad and I'm not sure i want to know how he passed cause it would make it worse 😞
oh Canada! :P Canada is cold, but nice.
wow 💕
Now that I’ve finished watching.. I am a WRECK 😭😭😭
Wow ❤
Oh Canada!
Was wondering if you were going to check out this game, I liked it.
The story really kept me watching, but holy did I get super frustrated watching the cooking part
lol same
42:35 - the definition of insanity is...
You should try amarican Arcadia
no worries! i think you have to be asian to know how to play this XD I would love to play this though! thanks for sharing!
😿 It got to me.
oh i live in a country that is multiculture but ppl still cant pronounce my name. I'm from here
O Canada
