I decided to keep the brains of [REDACTED] and [SUPER REDACTED] from this video and may cover them later if there is enough interest. There is enough on both of them to fill two of these vids. Sorry if this isn't the content that most of you subbed for. It's just something I wanted to gush about for awhile.
I first decided not to watch it since it's not like the regular WF video, but I decided against it since I've had my own erm, lows as well, so it interested me, I'd say it was worth the watch, it was a good video :P
What's nice about Otto being the only one to be seemingly unaffected by the past is that we can see that it's because he did actually confront his issues instead of withdrawing like everyone else, using his inventions to express what he was feeling at the time.
As someone who has battled anxiety, Compton removing the puppet that’s been berating him to reveal his hand is such a powerful moment Shame can weaponize what you think other people hate about you in your frantic desire to please them- But behind it all it’s just your mind and your mind alone You don’t have to persecute yourself to be worthy You already are
I can't believe that they had this whole story set up as far back as the early 2000s. I didn't even notice the names of the Psychic Six on the logs at Whispering Rock. And Ford's being the broken one.
I read they didn't have a story. There was no plans for a sequel but with interest in the game coming up they just made up a sequel story. Using what was in the original.
It was probably less that they had things planned out, moreso that there were world building elements that could be interesting to expand upon. They were right.
milla is actually dealing with the trauma in a healthy way , while she isn't dwelling on it or repressing it , she just has it off in its own litter corner of her mind
It's nice to hear that someone else thinks that Psychonauts 2 is as important of a game as I think it is. There really isn't anything else like it out there, and it's honestly refreshing to play a game that's willing to get into the meat (haha) of mental illness without pulling punches or demonizing those who have to deal with it. Which just makes me all the more irritated over how snubbed it was at the Game Awards. It's petty-but I think a little pettiness is overdue given it somehow lost Best Narrative to a MARVEL game.
The stuff at 15:30 and the whole library stuff resonated with me hard, as that question is something I have asked myself. "Which me is the real me, or are all versions of me just part of a bigger me I never found yet?" Having several different books with different personalities slightly differencing from each other used for when I am with different people. However unlike her trying to have total control and trying to remove the bad stuff, I just learnt to live with it. Kinda like how she did with Raz help in the end.
Obligatory "sorry for the long response" and "trigger warning ahead" but this is something I almost dreamed of. Quite frankly I've followed your content for quite a long time and love nothing more than your video essays and are up there among my favorite style. Mental health is something I hold very dear to me due to how greatly it affected my life. At the ages of 12 and 14, my bestfriend and girlfriend respectively committed suicide. The trauma this is has brought me and the way I coped with it leaves the terminology "sub-par" waaaay in the dirt. I don't want to get too much into it here, but seeing the same youtuber that I've adored for such a long time talk about something this important and especially in such an entertaining way is indescribable. I know that anything that isn't warframe doesn't get a lot of clicks which is a shame due to the level of quality this video in particular displays, but note that this one person right here is looking forward to whatever you have planned/in the works, no matter the type of video.
I think the third game should focus on Otto’s seeming inability to feel empathy for the suffering of his colleagues and how his possible anti social personality disorder has gone unnoticed and has lead him to feel no remorse for his dangerous experiments hurting his friends and setting into motion The events that led to the mental weakness that would create moligula
I can see that as a possibility, he talked about mini astralathe’s not concerned with the damage that invention had caused. In an unused idea talked about bottled emotions that Otto has
I saw a comment on a psychonauts video that said that Mila's mind is reflective of what s healthy mind is, the trauma is there and even acknowledged, but not consuming her mind and causing agony
This is an absolutely outstanding analysis. As a psych teacher who talks about these levels at nauseam, your fluency with many of the mental health themes present is nothing short of impressive! I also can't say enough positive things about how you were able to place yourself in the context of these characters and empathize with them in a way that's both serious and frequently hilarious. Nothing short of a superb video essay! Hope to see more!
Psychonauts and Psychonauts 2 were both games I experienced only very recently for the first time, but I quickly fell in love with both of them. I do feel like the second game has a greater fixation on trauma, although the original did have allusions to it in almost all of the mental worlds. Trauma is a tricky thing and what ends up devastating one person might just be another Tuesday for another, so it can sometimes be hard to "get" why people are affected the way they are.
Sabuuchi. I to have autism. I sometimes wonder if people knew that I was, would they take me seriously and if those who do know will take me seriously. All we can do is push forward. Ignore the people who won't value us and embrace the ones who will. You are not alone Sabuuchi.
I would absolutely love to see more content like this. I’m always looking into any discussion/analysis videos of Psychonauts and the way everything was brought up was really well done.
Nicely made. I would be incquierd on elaborated talk about [REDACTED] The [REDACTED] was amazing even managed to sneak away a few of my tears on how well done it was written, Explaining how Certain actions when steered in wrong directions could lead to catastrophic results
Hey I didn't watch this video until I read a comment on one of your videos saying that this was one of your best. It is. It brought me close to tears a couple of times and I honestly didn't know you had it in you to make such a poignant reflection on a game. You made my day better.
I plan to make a variety you tube channel eventually, with warframe as a part of it. It would be righteous😎 if we could play together but that is probably a pipe dream.
I love how the game is completely open about having two gay couples, going as far as showing their marriage. Like, any other developers would probably just mention that they may or may not have a gay character in the background, in their game, but Double Fine is like "Yes, we have them gays. Deal with it"

It's kinda funny cause right now in Destiny 2 is season of the Haunted where the player and Eris Morn, a former Guardian that the player once helped come to grip to her past traumas now must help other main characters come to grips with their greatest traumas and finally let go and grow. The timing with this video is kinda impeccable

Sorry if this isn't the content that most of you subbed for. It's just something I wanted to gush about for awhile.
The fact that I know who you're talking about justifies making separate vids on them and im all for it 🔥
I first decided not to watch it since it's not like the regular WF video, but I decided against it since I've had my own erm, lows as well, so it interested me, I'd say it was worth the watch, it was a good video :P
Oh boy I cant wait for your Spamton and SCP videos
All joking aside, this world is better with you in it, Sab. Don't ever forget that.
I would love if you continued this exploration.
do em

Don't worry Sab you're still better than anyone who brings limbo to public missions
I've never touched a Psychonauts game but after this video I am completely invested in these characters.
Do it!

Psychonauts 2 is so brilliantly well done. One of the only games I would actively recommend any and every friend to play.

This is your best video, hands down 100%

Not going to lie, wasnt expecting this kind of video from Sabuuchi but damn if it isnt a good one
that moment where you find the vid just as it comes out and you see no comments
That wasn't Compton's son in the first game, that was his grandson
I’m sorry, but I find “Content Warning: TEETH” way too funny
I let the video play for just a few more seconds and I immediately regretted making this comment
I hope you do more videos like this in the future, you're really good at this specific blend of funny and serious
I like you, the way you are.
Hmm yes Psychonauts lore be like:
Hey I didn't watch this video until I read a comment on one of your videos saying that this was one of your best. It is. It brought me close to tears a couple of times and I honestly didn't know you had it in you to make such a poignant reflection on a game. You made my day better.
NEED A PART 2 I NEEEEEEDDDDD IIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTT pls
I'd absolutely love the fact that you made this, amazing
wow you need to do these more often, really entertaining, informative and interesting videos
This was an incredible video. I’m sorry about what you had to go through growing up, but we’re all glad you’re still here
this was so good, sab! id love to see you cover the rest of the game in a followup video
its such a damn shame that these videos dont get as much attention as (that game) because this is such a well made video
Thank you for this, I hope more peeps play Psychonauts for its unique experience.
this was really nice!! hoping to see more of this type of content :>
I would love to see more like this! About redacted and super redacted especially
yo Sab. you are amazing. don't let anyone tell you otherwise
I don’t know who you are, but anybody talking about Psychonauts is good in my book. Great video!
I plan to make a variety you tube channel eventually, with warframe as a part of it. It would be righteous😎 if we could play together but that is probably a pipe dream.
Babe wake up, sab posted a new video
Why is this the first comment lmao
this game went fuckin crazy, good video
Glad you found a type of video that suits you besides Warframe meme videos Boss. I know I'll enjoy this one like your Legends videos.
Spend your entire video crying, thanks in away.
Hope everything’s been going well for you as of late
Hugs
I love how the game is completely open about having two gay couples, going as far as showing their marriage. Like, any other developers would probably just mention that they may or may not have a gay character in the background, in their game, but Double Fine is like "Yes, we have them gays. Deal with it"
It should be the golden standard for LGBT+ representation in media
I only know one gay couple, Bob and Helmut. Who's the other?
Wait what's the other gay couple? Kitty and Franke (they're bi according to Campster)?
Hope you do make videos about the other two
For the Algorythim 😘
And flem fandingo
I thought Dogan was Compton's nephew, not his son?
Compton is Dogan and Sam's grandpa
