    I'm glad you enjoyed the track! Thanks for checking it out! You caught a lot that other reactors missed! (Though an 'atoll' is a sand formation, an oceanic geological term, and not a type of fish. :P )
    To answer your questions, the big brass bowl was also from Neath!, it's the ink dish Mr Page's was looking into (the newspaper and tankard were also from Neath!). The plane was from my Untitled Goose Game song. The rest of the props you got right!
    Yes, the boat was built by repurposing the train, though I did make a totally new control console for it, we just kept a couple of the large levers! I link to Dan's at the end as though we didn't collaborate on our Dredge songs we did both share the boat set and use it in our videos. His song is far less comedic than mine but is some of his best work and I thoroughly recommend checking it out, it might make for a great Patreon reaction to fill the gap left by this one!
    And finally 'yen' is both a noun and a verb, meaning to long for. One can 'yen for' something or 'be yenning', both mean to desperately hope for something. The 'yen of siren's call' would be the siren's longing for you to heed their call. :)

    Port is left, starboard is right, stern is back. I don't know how intentional it is but there might be a bit of extra nuance here - the last orders Murdoch gave to the Titanic were rudder hard to starboard (thus turning the *ship* hard to port) and hard astern - putting the engines in full reverse.
    The fish with the glowy forehead dealybob is an angler fish, and you've made me realize what a flip that was even as just visuals, like the usual Stupendium wordplay has transcended to a wordless medium. Angler being another word for a fisherman. Who fishes the fish? The fisherman. What fishes the fisherman? The fisherman fish. The ocean claiming her due indeed...

    • @Spookworm
      @Spookworm 5 месяцев назад +6

      As someone who has played Dredge before, throwing those engines into reverse is essentially what you do most of the game when realizing that there's either a creature coming towards you or you've gotten yourself stuck in a rock corner. The backup button becomes a beloved friend cause there's no way in hell you're ever going to be able to turn that lil boat around fast enough

    You didn't call it, but "We are all dead ahead" is another play on words.
    Dead ahead = straight ahead (actual meaning of the phrase)
    Dead ahead = dying over there (the play on words)
    As for HP Lovecraft, I'll always wonder what he would have been like if give just a bit more time.
    For context on that statement, his letters to friends take an interesting turn as he gets older. He initially expresses support for Hitler (no surprise there, eh?) only to rescind support in disgust after his neighbor went to Germany and came back with a story about seeing some Jews beaten in the streets. More interestingly, he goes full FDR supporter, starts talking about the pros and cons of Karl Marx's theories (Lovecraft thought reform a better option than revolution, in the form of buyouts over time, to reach a socialist society), is horrified by at least one example of his old work and won't let it be reprinted, and says of himself, "It’s hard to have done all one’s growing up since 33 - but that’s a damn sight better than not growing up at all."

    Hey Ian around 7:09 Stupes says the lines "A little fishy on a dishy when the boat comes in." It's a reference to a folk song from the North East of England.
    The song goes:
    Who should put a little fishy on a little dishy? Who should catch the Mackerel when the boat comes in?
    Dance to your daddy, sing to your mummy. Dance to your daddy till your mummy sings!
    I think that there's more verses but they're the two most commonly used- especially in Bird's-eye adverts.

    The line "I fear for what the ocean claims in place of what we take" actually comes pretty close to a line/theme from the game itself.
    Also I just remembered where we know the airplane prop from: it's from Stupes' "Untitled Goose Game" song, the plane the goose steals from the kid with glasses and puts back on the shopkeep's shelf so he has to buy it back.

    The English name for Anglerfish: Descriptive, functional, tells you how it hunts, tells you that it is a fish, but it _really_ doesn't prepare you in the least bit for the living nightmare fuel you'll be looking at once you actually lay your eyes on one.
    The Swedish name? Marulk. Pronounced: Maahr-ûlk. Quite possibly the most evocative name of a deep-sea horror ever. It doesn't tell you _squat_ about what it is, but you hear the word and go "You can just call it a 'nope' if you want to, you know."

    I just realized Neptune's Bounty is synonymous with a boat mentioned jn the game. "Ocean's Riches"
    Also I find it neat that the Fishermen in the video initially questions what he sees. Cause it reminds me of my (and also other players likely) reaction to the Night Angler when I played the game. I initially thought it was hallucination (cause it disguises itself as another ship, and I thought "why haven't I seen these boats in the day?") and decided to skip the night and thus didn't realize it was a lure until the next time I played the game and it honked at me and I ALMOST honked back and thought better of it cause the description was sus in how it specifies that it gives away your location. Seems like this fisherman wasn't as smart as me though, F

    Major Dredge spoilers: The wife of the protag died the day he dredged a powerful book from the depths. And in the bad ending, the world ends when he revives her.

    The "pirate" accent is an exaggerated version of the dialect spoken by English people from the West Country, which includes the cities of Bath, Gloucester, Exeter, Bristol, and several others. The West Country is the heart of the British maritime tradition, not only pirates but fishermen, traders, and navy men. It's a kind of traditional shorthand for "this character is a working-class sailor" as officers would generally get the Posh British accent.

    Fun fact, every fish in the music video is actually from ingame! The spine seen before the storm is The Leviathan, which follows you throughout the entire game. The tentacles are just tentacles (they’re called tentacles ingame). The fish in the net during the storm is (probably) a Blood Snapper, and the one on the line (and that he beheads near the end) is a Many-Eyed Mackerel. The singing fish, left to right, are: the Gnashing Perch, the Scouring Bass, Three-Headed Cod, Enthralled Stonefish, and another Blood Snapper. And lastly, the fish that ate him is a Night Angler.
    Edit: I thought in the music video, him standing directly in front of a Night Angler was weird, but they’re actually disguised as boats. You can only tell what they are through light.

    Port is left, Starboard is right - so hard to port would be throwing the rudder left to turn, Starboard would work too if the line had needed a 2 syllable word, though a slightly different rhyme would likely have been needed.
    The stern is the rear of the ship, hard astern would be throwing it in reverse.
    "Hard to port, hard astern" is thus describing the absolute most suddenly a ship can *stop going forward.*
    The line is effectively "turn away, stop/go back", it's telling the fisherman not to delve any further.

  • @IceTooth_101
    @IceTooth_101 Месяц назад

    Really late but someone else mentioned this in the comments of the actual video - the song has two hooks, one for the fisherman (“Neath tides o’ bleak ‘n’ briny”) and one for the anglerfish (“What’s to find, harrowed craft?”), because the anglerfish is fishing the fisherman and luring him to his death.
    I’d also add that the fisherman’s hook is a sea shanty, which is unsurprisingly typically sung at sea, perhaps while fishing, whereas the angler’s hook carries a tone that threatens the fisherman instead. The fisherman’s hook is an anthem of fish hunting, while the angler’s hook is a promise of doom to a human. The ocean does indeed claim much in place of what we take.
    Also, a little info about Dredge - the significance of night is that the later it gets, the more the fog starts to roll in and your panic gradually starts to increase in the shrouded darkness. The fisherman should return before then to protect his mind, but staying out in spite of this symbolises that he’s caught on the hook of searching for fish and riches and is risking his sanity for it, which culminates at the dead of night in him losing his mind and allowing the anglerfish to take him.

    Your probably thinking angler fish, but just about everything at that depth has some form of bioluminescence. Theres one that has red lights. Because red shows up as black, as a form of camouflage, a lot of creatures are red. So the red light off of this thing makes them glow and reveals its position. And since most of those creatures cant even see red, it doesnt give otself away either.

    Nought is simply a less common spelling of naught. Meaning nothing, or, as in this case, can imply that an action is meaningless. While I see your line of reasoning, I don't think that was intended to be the double meaning if there is in fact one for that line.

    Lovecraft used very flowery language, which really serves to draw you in and command your attention.

    So I kind of have an odd theory that the fisherman is ok. He cut up a corrupted fish, which the only reason to do that on the sea is to eat it. At that point everything could have just been a bad trip in his mind. It is a stretch, but I'm going to say it is possible.

    Clarification on the "Hard to Port, Hard Astern, Matters nought, Where you turn-" line, 'nought' is also a British way of saying 'nothing', like "it was all for nought" and is also used more commonly in phrases like "Noughts and Crosses" as an alternate name for Tic-Tac-Toe. In this case, it also rather handily describes the situation as pointless in a couple of ways, both saying that your direction doesn't matter, and also that your direction is literally towards nowhere, as you kinda fall out of the world near the end of the game...

    I dont see anything here in the comments, but while the things pulled up in the nets are from other videos, they also slowly decrease in value, starting with an extremely valuable gold bar, and slowly becoming more common or random. as if they were bait leading the fisherman out into the sea. I can't say this is an original observation of mine, it was said in stupe's comment section, but it is really interesting.

    Also Knot was used as a unit of measurement by seamen to judge how deep the waters they were in are, each knot in the line being a specific interval, and you slowly lowered them until it hit bottom, watching, waiting, hoping that the water had a bottom, and that the bottom was not already at your boat… or that it was only the bottom, if something just made the boat shake

    so at 07:04 , you said that atoll was a fish pun. it's not. it's a pun on island. from wikipedia : An atoll is a ring-shaped coral reef, island, or series of islets. An atoll surrounds a body of water called a lagoon. Sometimes, atolls and lagoons protect a central island. Channels between islets connect a lagoon to the open ocean or sea. Atolls develop with underwater volcanoes, called seamounts.
