19:36 you are WAY too funny for your own good

i don’t use twitter so i don’t understand this video

was listening to this in background as I am doing my AI development assignments... as a CS student, I want to put 25:09 "algorithms can't do a vibe check" on a shirt.

This reminds me that Cerberus got at least the heart of the human reaper. I wonder if that was destroyed as well but the end game

What ... no .. I have never felt good about being morally right. And I'm a vegan, everyone says they feel better than others, no? I don't think my morals are right per se. I don't know if k*lling is bad per se. I just don't like it personally. I am autistic, I dunno if this has anything to do with not being happy when I'm right.... Or maybe I'm depressed lol I dunno what's wrong with me. I don't feel bad either when I'm wrong :D

I don't know if this is on topic, but I once setted my mission to have an instagram feed of only capybara content. I would block users, mark as uninteresting, and only like and search (and follow) capybara content. My for you page, in one month, had almost only capybara content. I'm so sad I didn't get a screenshot.

Oh heck yeah I am finally on the “references CJ the X” side of RUclips 🎤 🍷 🤍

This has to be the best video essay I have watched in a very long time! Thank you so wo much for the effort put in to this and im currently installing thr legendary edition now on my series s to re play. Just wow

I will always remember 2 things of my first play of Mass Effect. 1. The way I understood REALLY that my actions in the game as impact on others because Tali was the first one to die in ME2 and REFUSED to start ME3 without her 2. The 30 min cry I had when I finished the trilogy. And when I say 30 min. I MEAN 30 min. I will never understand how much Mass Effect has the impact it has on me. Even if I play others REALLY good games I just can't change the feeling I have with Mass Effect. It's the game that made me realize "damn video games can be THAT ?" I was only playing the sims at that time 😂 What a shook it was to see something so much more profound than a COD. Anyway. Thank you for that deep message that was so obvious but that I was unable to see until now. You made Mass Effect even more special to me 😊

This pushed me to delete my Twitter account after having contemplated on it for months. Thank you!!

Oh you also ignored how potato chips and other crunchy food helps relieve stress. There's studies

You completely ignored how food and sex occupy the same part of the brain in your section about food content.

Why is there greek letters in the video? I'm new here hello (I didn't understand everything what that skeleton said and I'm greek 😂😂)

I love the video but one thing that i wanna complement you on is the editing. The details, the passing and style are soo good. Thanks for the video 😊

This is so well-researched. I hope your channel continues to blow up bro.

😛

This is a great breakdown dude, really enjoyed this!

Salarians process emotions completely differently from humans, if you don’t acknowledge and understand that you can’t properly understand Mordin, and by extension his conscience and actions. That’s one of many reasons why Mass Effect’s “space racism” is endlessly fascinating, especially from moral questions like should we allow the Krogans, who are prone to violence and conquest by their very nature and biology, to exist and survive unchecked in the galaxy because of their inherent value as living, sapient, and intelligent beings? It’s also why it 100% fails as a parallel to human racism, because unlike humans of various genetic and cultural backgrounds being the same under the hood, and our individuality isn’t determined by our genetics and as such can’t be judged or discriminated based on race but only as individuals, Mass Effect’s aliens can and often do. A Krogan and an Asari are different on a fundamental level in addition to being individuals, even though we still innately expect them to act and appear human. I find it interesting that curing the Genophage and sabotaging the cure are both considered “paragon” actions depending on who leads the Krogan: Wrex or Wreav. The individual is to a certain degree still able to influence their own nature. It gets worse however, because Mass Effect also starts asking questions about the difference between organic life and synthetic “life,” which of course is the central conflict which drives the entire story. Every race, and more importantly to us every crew mate have vastly different opinions and views of all of this, and this makes them all supremely interesting. All of this plays into Mass Effect’s themes of death, and it all ends up being Shepards decision, meaning the players decision who is worthy of surviving, and thus also who has value. Because as Mass Effect makes abundantly clear: you can’t save everyone.

I wonder when will we finally see you on Horseshoe Theory

Had to re-watch this video is so good!

Dibs on the band name Context Collapse.

The thumbnail for this is so good

*Me and mah girl Ashley just watching all the Tali (age is just a number) lovers first falling for Cerberus BS in ME2 and the realizing humanity is indeed the dog siced on a bear so the rest of the council species can buy time* Seriously tho, I might disagree with few of your conclusions but this is very well thought through video, I hope your channel will grow faster than the Reaper threat after Tesia.

Man great video but would you consider posting the music you used in the video credits? I was hoping to check some of it out.

I love how much thought and analysis you put into this. I think it’s spot on. I would love to hear your analysis of the Dragon Age series, especially with Veilguard coming out at the end of this month. It’s a bit different since each game has a new protagonist, so the storyline is a bit more disjointed (especially with the time jumps). But if you compare the similarities and differences in the 6 different origins you can choose from in the first game, the battle between mages and templars/chantry/rest of society, the conflict between elves and humans, between Tevinter and the rest of Thedas, etc, certain themes begin to take shape. Especially when we compare them to our world. Anyway, I would love to hear your thoughts on Dragon Age as well. Thank you for such an excellent analysis of my favorite trilogy of all time.

at 01:19, the captions of what Fred is saying is English text written in the Greek alphabet that can be retranscribed as „I am not this Fred of o-ich [which.] you speak. I am the gloaming. The alfa [alpha.], the omega, I fortell [foretell.] the koming [coming.] of a great kylling [killing? culling?]. Let this be a powerful omen to those o-o [who.] doubt the end!“. interesting details about this Greek transcription are that: Greek ‹ω› (the omega) seems to be used to represent English ‹w›; ‹h› seems to be, for some reason, represented by a dash, which may be just a substitution for ‹ ̔ › (the rough breathing or the spiritus asper); ‹χ› seems to be used to represent ‹ch›; ‹θ› is used to represent ‹th› (it could have been mistakenly ‹τ-›); ‹ε› is used to represent ‹e›, regardless of whether it sounds like /i/, /e/ or /ε/; ‹φ› is used for both ‹f› and ‹ph› (I noticed in „αλφα“). that was my language nerd speech; I am now going to watch the rest of the video. have a good day. edit: typo. update: at 11:48, Fred says „Perish mortals! I am the harbinger of Ruin!“.

not to be an ass but the word is Complicity

I swear it’s always the creators with less than 10k subs that make the best videos, just discovered your channel and subscribed within 5 minutes. Keep up the good work!

Over the course of 2024 I have deleted my tiktok, reddit account and twitter account. Deleteing reddit and twitter were accidental booms to my mental health as I was doing those originally more as an act of protest. Tiktok was because I felt like I lost hours at a time out of nowhere in my day and that was time I felt was precious as my non work time. I didn't want to go through each weekend thinking nothing in my life had changed or got done. Interestingly I felt the same with alcohol last year so I quit that too. I felt that every weekend was a loop of get drunk with friends, feel compelled to stay up or keep drinking till my close friends were done too and then spend a day or two recovering. Nothing getting achieved over and over. Its not like I'm saying I have noble goals for my free time, but I do want it to be mine. The things I think about before I go to bed, or daydream at work about. It could be as simple as completing a challenge in a game I like, or studying something I'm curious about. Those are what I want to do instead of commiting my time to the void. I actually feel closer to my teenage self now as a 28 year old than I have in my adult life. Like my personality is back. I think human curation is a great idea. While you may have had that parasocial moment over twitter before, using your new website as an oppertunity to do your own human curation may allow others to do the same for your content including those your social media brain feels they missed out on.

My favorite word lately is nuance. I feel like a lot of people forget that online. That pretty much all topics have nuance and more than one side

i would love to see more focus on non-lethal secrefice. A whole lifes hard work for a good course in stead of going out in a blaze of glory. I think its over gloryfied for males to strive for the "short blaze of glory". I find the sacrifise of Liara T'soni staying on the ship as the shadowbroker for the good of others but at her own isolation a mush more relatable and noble sacrifice instead of the short and brave but stupid sacrifise of "taking a bullet for the president or trowing yourself into a mass effect beam". IN SHORT I THINK LIVING AND WORKING FOR A GOOD COURSE I BRAVER AND MORE INTERESTING THAN DYING FOR A GOOD COURSE.

wait yorue a millenial this whole time i thought u were 19 or something

The last part about quitting X is so real. It was a good choice to show that you didnt quit it right away. I dont use X much either, but i really dont wanna let go of it either you know. Also instagram, facebook, threads, (metashit) where ive posted my art ane gotten some traction. It is suchhhh such a pain in the butt

This video is soo good, I can’t casually listen to is while doing dishes lol.. I keep rewinding

Really cool video, instant follow !

I think we've had satisfying social media before and at least a handful of countries still have their main online social space as something which isn't a vapid infinite scroll.

I dont usually comment on videos but i recently played mass effects whole trilogy for the first time ever. I never had the money for a console growing up so PC legendary edition now is my first experience. For all of the critiques I have of the games, never at the end of a story in any video game prior did I end in such a deep emotional fugue state. I played a Paragon FemShepherd, I romanced Liara (basic i know but she really endeared herself to me) and the end of this story is so... poetic in a way. Its a true pyrrhic victory, yes Shepherd wins, but even with the seceet ending where they potentially survive-- that win comes at such a high cost. Even in the best scenario you sacrifice so much and thats stuck with me because typically heroes kill bad guy and have a happy ending. And it doesnt happen this time. Idk all i know is im in an emotional fog after finishing this series for the first time haha.

Mr Chris, how does me making stuff helps anyone but the machine feed on my soul ? Isn't denying the machine vrill instead the way out ?

This video is an example of how I want to approach content creation. May the epiphany I feel not melt my actual momentum and inspire me further.

Dude, I'm only 30 seconds in, at normal speed, already waiting for your point. You got me here.... get to the point please.

I love the set up for this video damn

the quality of this video is that of one with hundreds of thousands of subs, great editing and content. subscribed

If I were to ever gather enough people that want to see my content, I would move to putting it all on Patreon -for free- instead and only ever uploading to RUclips if it's a bigger video.

What sucks is RUclips is my brain trap, and it's unfortunately where most of my actual education comes from. I was not good in school, but I watched videos on hard subjects: sciences, philosophy, engineering, life skills, political theory, and I legitimately learned how to be a better human. It also taught me soft skills: how to paint, to spin wool, to identify plants. But now it's tinged with the shorts, and I spend hours staring at thousands of video clips that I can't possibly remember. It's like having a dysfunctional parent. They can teach you a lot about life, but they're constantly undercut by bad choices.

This video really does deserve more views, it was good af

I spent all day doing yardwork. It's very easy to escape every thought in your head while you trim trees and pick up sticks

the set of the intro excellent ✅ the 1990s Hackers style text overlays and effects ✅ the Blade Runner reference ✅ quoting both Jenny Odell and CJtheX ✅ SUBSCRIBED. Dude, fucking excellent job.

Only game that can consistently make me ugly cry 😂 that's how ya know it's a good game!

I'm a developer (in local government but owning my extremely online position) but i don't understand how returning to web 1 helps discovery issues. by which i mean "how do i find you and cj the x if social networks in any form no longer exist?" i liked the internet as a kid and teen but i was on platforms where you didn't really talk to anyone, and only really made connections with the advent of the social web. corporations suck but there are loads of efforts to do many-to-many non evil social media... do you think that's wasted energy or not the goal or did i misunderstand you? thanks so much for the video!
