    I remember trying the BioShock demo after beating the game. When I reached the point where you get that Tommy gun, I remember feeling so alone and scared as if someone or something was behind me in the shadows, waiting for the perfect moment to jump at me and hurt me. I had to stop playing the game at that time but eventually beat the demo.

    Good vid but its so weird seeing someone highlight the 360/PS3 era as the "Golden Age" of demos. For me that was the first generation where I was like "Man, remember demos? I miss demos. Those were cool." because its the generation where games got so big size wise that demos often weren't even considered for most games. It stood out to me when a game actually DID have a demo. Meanwhile it seems like for years prior I demoed every game I ever bought cause they always had a demo either online or stuck to the front of a gaming magazine. You never saw stuff like that after the PS2 era. It all dried up save for the games that sometimes chose to deliver a demo on their online service.

    • @RivetingMaterial
      @RivetingMaterial 16 дней назад

      Totally valid! To be fair I sort of came into my awareness as a gamer in that 7th console generation so I'm definitely bias. I think I referred to it as the golden age particularly because of the online element. Demo discs still needed to be acquired somehow (magazine subscription, going to a game store, eat.) and that wasn't always easy to do, but being able to download demos for AAA games and be playing them within minutes was a very deluxe childhood experience for me. In any case thanks for watching and commenting I appreciate it big time!

    This was a great video essay that clears up the actual history of the Symbiote. The only thing I don't like and disagree with is specifically calling out Eddie Brock as an "abuser" of the Symbiote. The alien suit originally bonded to him because, like itself, Brock was at the lowest point of his life, despairing, desperate, and angry, one who blamed Spider-Man, and thus the Symbiote found a kindred spirit. Eddie didn't force the Symbiote to stay with it, he has no such power. They stayed bonded because of their initial desire to hurt back Spider-Man who brought them so much pain and because of their unique circumstanced leaving them as the only two beings in the world who understand each other. Over time, the Symbiote came to love and prefer Eddie over Peter because of their understanding of one another. Sorry for the rant--again, this was a well-done video and I did enjoy it, but blaming everything on Eddie and calling him a horrible person, even if partially true, didn't sit right with me when that's not really the story at all.

    • @RivetingMaterial
      @RivetingMaterial 27 дней назад

      @@hunterg.1300 no worries about the rant, I'm very glad you enjoyed the video and of course that point in particular is based on subtext and my own personal opinion/experience. I'm going to rebuttal to your rant, not with the intention of changing your mind or undermining your opinion but just because I love talking about this stuff and I wanna give you the same amount of energy you gave me. I think at the very least the initial bonding between Eddie and symbiote can be viewed as codependent. Personally I think of it as an abusive relationship for a few key reasons. For one, Eddie displayed a lot of narcissistic behaviors and I think his obsession with weight lifting is rooted in self harm. I think these specific properties make Eddie a host that is hurtful or abusive to the symbiote in a way that other hosts haven't been. I don't mean he's abusive in the sense that he wants to hurt the symbiote intentionally or that he gains pleasure from keeping it captive in some way. I morso mean that Eddie's mind was just a highly hostile place and the symbiote didn't like it "at first". Which is why it took the first opportunity to go back to Peter. In a way it was forced to stay with Eddie because it needed a host to survive and it knew at the very least Eddie wouldn't give it away or kill it. Most abusive relationships operate on those rules, the victim isn't "trapped" by the abuser. Theyre just in a situation where they feel they have no better options than to stay. Eddie wasn't being evil or a bad person, he just had nothing to contribute to the symbiotes life but rage and self loathing. Of course that character was rehabilitated and changed, but even in the time sense it has been made very clear that the symbiote has preferred many hosts to Eddie. But Eddie has been the most often utilized host. If I had a daughter and she was dating Eddie brock... I'd be worried about her... (Just my opinion though, thanks for watching!)

    i really like your approach on everything i have watched on your channel so far. The "The Games Before Minecraft" video catches Minecrafts vibe astonishingly well. Choosing the form of a dialogue, sort of harkening back to the End Poem, that you beautifully rendered too, might have helped with that. You definitely vibe with the game, which probably is the biggest factor. Minecraft brought me here and i find myself interested in Spiderman toys, i would never have considered, which speaks for your craftsmanship as a presentator. Your use of AI assistance in Ten Tethered Hands is true to your own artistic vision without surrendering authorship to the assistant. It would be interesting to know, how much the imagery in the End Poem video was informed by your artistic vision, while it feels to me, completely leaving that to the AI in its entirety wouldn't have compromised the nature of the poem at all. You contrast your use of AI with a very intimate viewpoint you present, too, which underlines the authenticity of the picture you present and makes your work far from risking to appear generic. Your channel feels like a chill place in cyberspace that is fun to hang out at.Thank you for keeping it real and being an inspiring person and all the best for 2025 to you

      @@KharonHirons This is perhaps the nicest single comment I've ever gotten on the channel. And it's particularly touching because it's the kind of comment that I often find myself failing to write for those that inspire me (shameful I know). The experience you've had with my content so far is pretty much exactly what I intend. Come for one topic and fall down a rabbit hole with whatever videos may interest you. Thanks for watching ten Tethered hands in particular as that one was a project I very much knew wouldn't perform well and would essentially attract zero new viewers to the channel on its own. But it was hundreds of hours of work. I essentially have 4 genres of video the main two are the "Rupe" videos which cover lost/obscure media and history, and the "SIRV" videos which are these colored static videos essay type things. Then I have some where I do a brain dump on a topic while I make art in the background, and I have the spiderman toy format which I've only used once (but I want to make more). I also have a patreon which is currently free (because I don't add stuff often) but it gives more insight into the channels overarching lore. More videos to come in 2025 for sure! And please feel free to join the community discord if you'd like (link in my channel description). But in any case, even if you never watch another video I thank you and I hope you have a wonderful 2025!
