    The scary part about the narrator going insane in the skip button ending is that the last time we see him he’s repeatedly saying the sentence “the end is never the end is never the end”

      It makes you realize that the reason why the Stanley button exists is because he really and truly missed Stanley. He had escaped during the last "time skip", and found his memory zone. He made all of those buttons, made everything again simply because he needed something to stay sane. Him not being in the memory zone when Stanley gets there... might mean he's gone, or insane. It could've been centuries between his escape and Stanley waking up. Perhaps thousands of years, stuck in his own personal hell.

      It's kind of the opposite of employee 432. (From the creator, Davey Wreden himself:) employee 432 was an experiment of 'insanity'. If you look at his desk, you can see his job is to sharpen pencils, but he's never given any pencils to sharpen. The creator says that somewhere hidden in the game, there is a document talking about it. There's also the Employee 432 peer reviews you can find on the way through the Confusion ending.
      He goes so insane that he becomes the fabric of the universe.
      That's who the settings person is. Employee 432.

    Fun Fact: The Bucket was originally only supposed to make the Narrator include it in every other dialogue in the game. Changes dialogue from "Stanley" to "Stanley and the bucket" but after awhile, more and more devs start getting more creative ideas on what to do with the bucket. In the end, all of that snowballed so much that it halted the game's development for an *_ENTIRE YEAR_* and is actually the reason the Ultra Deluxe version was delayed in the first place. All because of one singular bucket...

    What a wonderful experience this game seems to be. I managed to binge watch this entire playthrough start to finish in one sitting, and it truly felt like I never wanted it to end. Mark, if you ever manage to see this, you have been one of my favorite UA-camrs since I started watching in 2012, and I often feel the same about watching your videos as I did with watching you play this game.
    I never want it to end.
    I have grown and learned so much in the last 12 years, and I can honestly attribute some of my current wisdom to lessons I've learned from you over that time. Thank you for being a friend that I will probably never meet or truly know but will always appreciate. God bless.

    Something I think makes the skip button ending sadder is the fact that it takes place in the memory zone. What goes on in the environment is somewhat reflective of the narrator's mind and memories, so when the narrator fixates on the negative reviews and the skip button, the door leading out of the room disappears; he mentally and physically traps himself in the room. At the end through all the silence and suffering his mind goes almost completely blank, the memory zone is barren, the only thing left being a broken memory of the skip button.

      ​@Українка Its also a perfect callback to your first time in the expo room. You are assured up and down that hearing your name said it game with be an ultimate catharsis, an acknowledgement of you the player and everything you have done that lead you to pressing that button.
      Of course, for now it can only say Jim, so you are asked to embody jim in his entireity to emulate the effects of the button. But when the epilogue comes around, you have done exactly what was asked. But for Stanley. You are stanley, you are his every action, every decision. Stanley is you, the blank foil onto which you project yourself into the game. You and stanley are indistinguishable from one another. So when at last, the button says stanley's name, your name? All of the promised emotional impact hits you all at once. Its a masterstroke of narrative design

    I realize now why the Stanley button is so emotional. The narrator tells you to roleplay as Jim so that hearing the name makes you feel personally validated. But all this time, you've already been roleplaying as a man named Stanley. That's what the narrator called you. And now that he's gone, the Stanley button hits way harder. Because your name IS Stanley, and you didn't realize it until now. Sorry if this is phrased badly, I'm sleep deprived

    The thing about the Stanley button, apart from the emotional connection the players get from rp’ing as Stanley all this time, is also; the narrator made the original button, meaning he made *all* the buttons. So somewhen along the skip ending, waiting decades upon decades alone while everything decays, he decided to make a Stanley button, just to be able to possibly hear his name again.

    This is the story of a man named "Mark". Mark worked in his house, where he was a UA-camr by the name of "Markiplier." Mark's job was simple. He sat at his desk, playing video games and making videos. He played whatever games his audience wanted. Whatever they wanted to see him play, Mark did. This is what Mark did every day of every month of every year. And though others might find it tedious and soul-rending, Mark relished every game he was requested to play, as though he had been made exactly for this job. And Mark was happy.
    And then one day, something very peculiar happened. Something that would forever change Mark. Something the internet would never quite forget. Mark had been recording a video for nearly an hour, when he got several hundred notifications from others about a new game release. Nobody had asked so much for one game. Never in all his years of UA-cam had this happened; this complete surge of requests. Something was very clearly wrong. Shocked, Mark decided to look up this game, trying to see what the want for this game is. But as he found the game, he saw it was a re-release of a different game. Nevertheless, Mark downloaded the game, and started to play.

I think it implies he cared more about Stanley than he let on, not just as a “figment of his imagination” but as another person, and he wanted to make something for him in particular. It’s the shock of that moment, after expecting nothing but more Jim, that really gets you.

    That Stanley button is so damn emotional for me.. it’s like, he really remembered. He really remembered and cared enough to make Stanley’s special button. Even after all that time, it’s still true that we really *cared* about each other, gave our every thought to one another. And after years and years of desert and sand and skip buttons, that’s still so very apparent. The Stanley button materializes the connection we have with the narrator even in the face of the silence and seeming abandonment that comes with the failure of The Stanley Parable 2. It’s undeniable proof, among the remains of Jim buttons and dusty figurines, that it all happened and that it *meant something.*

    The Skip Button ending hits kinda hard. Imagine being stuck in a room for thousands of years being unable to leave and yet always being awake and aware. Given the narrator is a concept rather than a living person he couldn't really "die" but he clearly ends at some stage. All he had was his thoughts and the empty vessel of the only companion he knew in that universe. The fact that he stops reacting to Stanley coming back is probably the biggest indication of his insanity at that stage.

      In one of his skip monologues, he realizes that he's only truly "alive" when someone can hear him speak. A great deal of his desperation comes from him recognizing his own fictional nature, and understanding that the moment he stops talking or starts repeating himself, he effectively stops being a living person in our mind, and starts being a mindless entity.

Some parts of the game imply that the narrator himself built the game but other endings say that “the developers” (not ever specifically stating crows crows crows and are ambiguous) are making the game and the narrator can’t do anything or has very little impact. Then sometimes the narrator will program something then somehow lose control of it. It’s a very odd string of plotholes

  • @nicolashinds3415

    According to my math, The skip button represents this equation: 3*sqrt(10)^t considering that the first time he hit the button, it was only around 6 minutes, but the second time it was 30 minutes. To find this out I used the equation 3x^2=30 and completed the square by solving for x over real numbers, diving both sides by 3 and getting x^2=10, then we take the square root of each side and get x=sqrt(10), getting the fact that the time skipped each time was about 3*sqrt(10)^t, and since the button is pressed 18 times until the ending of this route, the equation is 3*sqrt(10)^18, if we solve this equation, we get the number 3 × 10^9 as the minutes he skipped past, or 3000000000 minutes, putting this into a millennium converter, or using the equation m=t/525600000, we get 5.70776_ millennium, so the narrator waited in that room for approximately 6 millenium.

The final line of the vanilla ending, "and Stanley was happy," says to me that _the player_ is in the exact same situation as Stanley--they are told exactly what buttons to press, when, and for how long. They only know what the "good ending" it's because they are _explicitly told_ what it is.

      i thought it was funny as well.. i've also seen dawko and a couple others play it along with watching jack's playthrough and all of them got attached to the bucket but then there's mark and his being more attached to the hole than the bucket lol

    god the skip ending is so well done - the narrator leaving and coming back just so you get that sense of "oh, ok good he's not dead" and then a skip or two later and its "the end is never the end is never the end" and thats the last we hear of him. then the corroding of the walls, the greenery giving you hope only to immediately be turned to darkness, the insane creepy wailing noises, and in the end just haunting music and an endless desert. then, in true stanley parable fashion, it's back to the beginning without giving much time to really collect your thoughts. what an incredible game.

      Honestly, it's kind of disturbing if you really think about the narrator coming back partway through.
      The last we have heard of time passing, was when the narrator mentioned about a year passing. The smoke alarm can also suggest either low battery or radioactive decay (Since some smoke detectors work by a sensor detecting when radiation hits it, which can be blocked by smoke. Since the radioactive material has decayed, there is no more radiation, so it goes off)
      And after the smoke alarm goes off, we hear the narrator again going on a crazy rant about people leaving petty reviews. That's good because it means the narrator isn't dead... It's bad because it means the narrator had to live through so much *nothing.* He may not be able to die physically, but he can die mentally.

      I never was able to afford the full game. That ending would have been fun to see for myself. ​@@shibainu2528

    I love the whole scene with Mark having his lil dance break and just letting the ADHD take over as he does random noises with the song😂😂
