NOSTALGIA | Melvins Macabre 

On top of that, they also did not push back on the offer of selling the toy. They were okay with someone else finding new enjoyment with it.

It's just like paranoia agent

Yoooo

Sounds gay

@@bryanwest1679yea nice

Don't read my name...

Agreed

I'm at risk

It's easy, because the "Real world" hurts. plus, what exactly is "Real" anyway? life is what we make of it. if someone finds happiness in Collecting, Video games, Movies, whatever.. then why shit on that? its better than putting all your happiness into someone else. they'll just cheat on you once they know you can't live without them. or break up with you. or you'll find out about something they've done and break up with them. if you put all your time and effort into a Job, that job will crumble one way or another.. or you'll become sick of it. nothing is forever, everything sucks, we're all dust in the wind. make the best of the time you've got. or don't. we're all gonna die and be forgotten regardless.

I develop AI to take over after I'm long gone all my memories and experiences alongside them can be preserved I just had to share with something that has the potential to be timeless and be able to adapt and grow despite of my. Physical limitations

@GeekExtremist I’m glad you found peace man… I struggle with hoarding too. I have been through a lot of traumatic loss. My grandparents are gone (even tho that’s expected they were like a second set of parents), my mom unexpectedly died when I was 15, my older brother was hit & killed by a train… I hoard shit to fulfill that gaping spiritual wound in my heart. I struggle to throw away something as silly as a tang/iced tea pitcher my mom had when it broke… when it’s just another piece of plastic polluting this world. I don’t need it. I have memories, her writings, & paintings… but I have trouble discerning what to throw out & keep when the line is greyer (old mail to my mom from 2003, grocery lists she wrote, etc)… I’m in the process of purging my room because it got too cluttered, & despite making some significant progress I have an extremely hard time throwing some stuff out or donating it. 😔 ik a lot of people may look at people like you & I as unkept & messy, but I just want you to know that I understand your struggle bro… not with your physical disabilities but your hoarding issues I understand how toxic it can be & how much of a big step it was for you to do what you did… as the professor dude Jordan Peterson (if you dunno him you should look him up) said; “your room reflects your mind”… & he’s absolutely 💯 on that. & also, congrats on getting away from opioids too… I was self medicating with fentanyl & methamphetamine for a while, & I made the step to get medical help & get on suboxone & prescription amphetamines like adderall/vyvanse… I’d smoke weed too but unfortunately I’m on supervised release with the Feds. Don’t listen to anyone who tells you you’re not really in recovery if you use cannabis. Addiction is kinda misunderstood even in AA/NA… we use because we are medicating ourselves, & you switched to a safer & non addictive alternative instead of going down the road of opioid use… society & the government heavily discriminate against opioid users & because of that it’s easy to get into a shit ton of legal issues & put yourself in danger by using unregulated substances laced with unknown amounts of fentanyl, xylazine, or toxic cutting agents. my friend almost died once because her dope was laced with arsenic & she smoked it. I wish you the best life bro don’t ever doubt yourself✌🏻💯😁‼️

I'm glad that your syndrome-kinda thing is almost down, but damn, 10 years of gameroom? I'd go insane. W for your sanity

It’s good to have some balance in life.Find some more trails get some bikes.When you get going you will feel better

I can sympathize aswell, hope you're all getting better, even if it's baby steps. My advice is.. "Noone can help you but you, don't rely on a superhero to save you and make the right decisions for you, it's not gonna happen. start small, by yourself and be your own hero" It might sound obvious but it took me 20 years to figure out that self pity wasn't helping my situation at all and getting up to make daily improvements. Made my monumental tasks seem lighter and lighter. "You don't have to see the whole staircase just take the first step" MLK I believe..

Hope you're fine bro ❤ 😎👌🏼 Thanks for sharing a bit of your life!

It looks like he saved the miserable goldfish too and gave him some friends 🥹

@@summer8941 and this is the essence of moving forward. Such a beautiful message

I never thought I’d see the day where MeatCanyon would bring me to tears, but here we are.

Saving crab's "home" was coping mechanism for Melvin.

I like how it ended with Melvin keeping the fish tank in Saving the fish that was dying from the beginning to now living happy with other fish friends and he kept the shell of the crab as a centerpiece of the bottom of his fish tank🥹

Ikr lmao

WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU WON'T DIE FOR US?! WE WENT SHOPPING TOGETHER!!!

I think it also creates a distinction between hobby versus unhealthy obsession. Melvin doesn't give up pet ownership or become an ascetic removed from possessions, he gets a goldfish in remembrance of how he enjoyed taking care of his hermit crab. In contrast the collectors were escaping from accepting pain through continuous meaningless purchases. I still have some nostalgic items from my childhood and I love watching new movies and such, but life also means trying out new things as well.

"subtle"??

Its a delusion to whitewash your childhood memories for only the escape of insular, fleeting pleasures. Chasing such a fantasy isn't even a beautiful one removed from all the grey & freakishness that gives substance to life. Even Melvin's mom was convulsing when she handed him his pancakes. What was going on before she got there? Never let your personality become product.

she despised him

I resonate with that.

Didn't he hide from reality by killing them all and denying it?

​@@ihavenonameforyou1? He didn't kill them, Jeremiah did.

Did you show her boyfriend the video as well?

Be careful, normally when a show gets official approval and backing the original essence tends to be watered down to please boards and be profitable. Unsure if AS is much different

​@@gabrielpineirogarcia2078With you on that.

Meat canyon is an absolutely incredibly talented voice actor, like among the best that have ever done it good. He deserves more attention and a real role in the industry.

Just amazing

Read this as he threatened the game-slop worker. Pffft

@RonnieMcfloydUTTPno

I mean he was crying at the end of episode 1 But then again he dodged a bullet cuz that girl was messed up

yeah wb earwax?

fancy seeing you here

I kinda saw that the crab is Melvin getting out of his shell while the fish being trapped in a small tank symbolize the collectors Melvin giving them a new home kinda symbolizes how he did kill them but if he didn’t he never woulda set they’re souls free n they would have been living in pain trapped inside the computer just like the fish are trapped inside a tank

Like the hermit crab stops attacking Melvin when he was holding up the game that his mom got mad at him for playing leisure suit Larry which I think does symbolize him getting out of his shell but when he buys all the games the store manager turns into the crab symbolizing he’s going back into the shell

Yep, that’s good that it makes that distinction as you should be able to collect what you like, but not use it as a means of escape from the pain.

Well, the last comment by Melvin was quite an insulting summary of what MC thinks of them. Btw the feeling of escapism can happen also with other addictions in general.

Gotta hand it to the team. Definitely came from a personal place.

Melvin is not criticising collecting items that remind you of good times. It's criticising BURYING yourself in nostalgia, to DISTRACT yourself from your current infirmities. That's what he means by becoming stagnant. The fact you couldn't see that is telling.

​@@phaolo6 Literally no. He was talking about the 4 specific people in the room who were willing to kill themselves to escape every problem and pain. There were no attacks at genuine collectors. That's just you seeing a character talk about the current scene and then just making up your own stuff

It’s not Nintendo, it’s Neetendo 🤣

Dealing with your problems is good lol putting a bandage on them like Melvin was trying to do is how you end up with a pile of unresolved issues and depression/anxiety to the point that you think you are no longer a functioning member of society 🫥

​@@scottbrigner6950 The only reason you want to deal with your problems or be a functioning member of society is because you think that will make you happy. How is that any better? You are chasing the same high off a different drug. Would you take the chance to be hooked into a machine that makes you happy by altering your brain?

Except for episode one.

​@@davidgomezgarachana2295 Nah he dodged that bullet, so it's a good ending all things considered

Soft brain

Wdym with each episode he gets closer and closer to become a monster himself

8:42 Yay TF2 mentioned!

I like how nobody ever reads the descriptions and the fact 30 people had worked on this just whooshes past people

​@@DelphinidaeZetaI read them.

Literally been seeing this for 4 years in the descriptions. Obviously he loves making shorts for RU-vid so everybody can enjoy watching his work without having to pay…think about that. Reaches a wide assortment of people being free and also on Snapchat bud.

Sure. Absolutely quality stuff. I won't be paying for it though.

@@DelphinidaeZeta It would help if those who worked on these were listed either at the start or in the credits because in order to read the descriptions you have to expand it open. These people are clearly talented and deserve to get more recognition because I'll admit, I thought it was just one guy making these, which to me was insane- like how did ONE person make these? Well its clear an entire team worked on it.

Beautifully said.

calm down, it's not that deep

Bro :(

I feel that so much, I try and try to change but I always fall back into the same pattern eventually

Thinking that you're pathetic not by your own voalition frees you of having to change, or at the very least the feeling of being resppnsible for the lack of change.

​​​@@frogglen6350They're only unemployed when you met them. They work their job and spent all of their money on collectibles. They then lose their job. Now they can be comfortably unemployed because they can now entertain themselves with the copious amounts of unemployed free time with their massive collection of goodies.

​@@frogglen6350Most of them are not unemployed, majority of them works on odd jobs or food service. A japanese documentary basically sums up this kind of people, forgot the name but it was about internet addiction. Some of them are even well adjusted and made good life choices until something happens in their life that made them dependent on a coping mechanism. Shows like hoarders are a good example of this.

I find that comparison oddly fitting given the collectors had a junji Ito comic panel as a poster in one of the scenes. At least I think it’s junji ito

0:55 speak of the devil! Junji ito poster!

The Junji poster is the only thing in the room not drawn by PM, which leads me to believe you are correct in knowing this episode’s inspiration.

He only edited the top face of the poster, for copyright purposes I presume

Losing a pet is impossible to drown out, one thing I didn’t understand about this animation. It’s just grieving as you would losing anyone in the family. I figured this was more about distracting yourself from adult responsibilities overall.

It could also be about losing your brother, but we still have his wheelchair just in case mom needs it
