      @@brianskelly4979 Once I realized what the game was doing, I thought that was pretty clever how they incorporated that mechanic. In any other point-and-click game, you probably could just click the mug on the microwave and be done with it. But if you're struggling with executive dysfunction and/or depression, then yeah, going through every single step of opening the microwave, putting the cup in, closing it, starting the timer, waiting for the cup to finish, THEN taking it out is going to feel like a tedious slog just to accomplish one thing. Makes me kind of sad they seemed to miss that part of it, but I get that "slow-and-steady introspection" just wasn't the mood they were in and I can respect that.

    I'm not sure as it's only a hour-ish long game and I don't know the creator's intent, but this really seems like a story about a person suffering from executive dysfunction. It's a symptom that often accompanies depression and can make doing "mundane" or "normal" tasks very difficult mentally and emotionally. I appreciate that Carla was supportive and kind at the end there in spite of the difficult time she apparently had.

When you lose that last spoon, and you don't have the emotional capacity to deal with anything else, it's not going from 0 to 100 - it's going from 95 to 105, and was just getting covered up before.

I relate to the battle "just" to find your pants and get ready for work. Because its not "just" for people who face these kinds of struggles day after day, hour after hour. Its easily overwhelming and so infuriating and you find yourself in over your head until the only thing left to do is.... shut down. Disassociate. This is easily done when retreating into gaming or other hobbies that are more rewarding and easier to feel accomplished in, delivering that dose of chemical and psychological goodness you were craving all along and weren't getting out of /actually/ accomplishing your daily tasks....

    This game is pretty clearly about neurodivergence and how even the simplest of tasks can seem so difficult, how stressful it is when things go wrong, and the urge to do anything *but* the task at hand. The man is very pessimistic and anxious, not even wanting to get out of bed. Even with a lover, a big house, a mother who loves him, a cat, and all the nice things in life .... basic tasks still feel exhausting and tedious and that takes a huge toll on a person, especially when they don't go smoothly.

      Its a rough experience, and Dan and Arin completely play the part of /exactly/ what makes people like this feel guilt at their own illness and the way it makes them feel, their own perceived failure and struggles with doing what everyone else just seems to magically do like its no big deal... when your brain doesn't process things that way, and every little thing IS a big deal when even the little victories in life aren't there for you anymore... how it builds and builds day in day out, and the rising of the anxiety of the quickly towering and looming pile of tasks, responsibilities, and more... the utter lack of empathy from Dan and Arin honestly kind of hurt. It felt callous and almost petty. Of course two successful, rich, happy people who don't experience this struggle would belittle someone with mental health issues because they're too out of touch to understand where the protagonist is coming from. I love the grumps, and while I don't think they intended to make fun of the protag so coldly, they clearly let the actually palpable and relatable struggle of the game go way over their heads.
      I guess that's just the difference between lived experience and empathy, and not being under the pressure of keeping up some sort of funny persona with a constant stream of words coming from my mouth.

    10:07 - as a Brit: crumpet can absolutely fit in toaster
    Edit: that washing machine sequence is so damn true to life - I need to show my gf that this is what I see every time I look at the damn thing.
    Edit numero dos: 55:38 - as someone who loves a scenic drive, that one cuts deep Arin. Here in the UK you're never far away from radically different scenery. And much like Dan was saying about the cosy feeling of being warm whilst it rains outside, I get that feeling from a nice evening drive.

    I know the guys were poking fun at this game for the jokes and japes, but I really enjoyed it! The gameplay mechanics seemed a little frustrating, but I appreciate that the game is just about all those little everyday struggles that can just pile up, and the conclusion being someone recognising your frustration, and offering support is very sweet! Great game!

    Also, in case anyone was wondering, "constellation" IS the name for the grouping of stars - it's the official/recognized/what-have-you grouping. So, Cassiopeia, Ursa Major/Minor, Orion, etc. An asterism is an unofficial grouping of stars that also make some sort of shape, sometimes ones that can be found within constellations. For example, the Big Dipper is an asterism found within Ursa Major.

    I know this is a game and this is a comedy gaming channel, but hearing Arin keep shouting at the dude saying his life is great and he has no reason to be sad, gave me flashbacks to every single person telling me I shouldn't be depressed because my life is OK, and just like that my depression was cured...

      I mean, surprise, Arin has barely any clue about life/diet/logic/the universe etc.
      He's got very strong opinions, founded on something he heard once or just believes and that's it. You really shouldn't believe anything he says; just laugh at the funnies and filter out any life advice or tips or instructions Arin hands out.

      @@NWolfsson @Phazz I would say there is a way to validate the difficulty that someone is going through without enabling them. If the person in the game is supposed to be portrayed as someone having mental health issues then the solution isn't just stop being sad and look at how great your life is. You can validate hey you're having a rough day. The problem I do worry with modern society is that we maybe saying just validate nothing else. It is in fact ok to be reminded at times that though you may be struggling there are things to appreciate, enjoy, or love about life. Therapy at the end of the day is that to a certain extent retraining the person to validate themselves while also enjoying life even through the struggle.

      @@alfredoaraujo9294 That indeed, and it is why it hurt me that Arin (and Dan in a following manner) joked and snarked upon the character celebrating his victory upon achieving morning routine (in a hell of a bad luck streak, nonetheless). The celebration and validation of the loved one (the girlfriend saying "Oh hey, you did it with all that happening good on you, and it won't be moot just because you're not working today") are really nice and a good thing, I'm just sad they undermined it.

      @@NWolfsson It is a little unfortunate. It seems they are likely perceiving It as someone who isn't dealing with a mental health issue but that it's an individual that is maybe over complaining. I appreciate your point about the loved validating them, but not going so far as saying yea your whole life is terrible more like hey sorry it was a tough day and then moving forward. We don't want to make people feel as though the basic inconvenience of life sometimes is always going to be the worse thing ever with or without a mental health issue.
