Serve Drinks To People Whose Flesh Is Melting Off Their Face - Closing At 2 

7 mins ago and no replys😮? Let me fix that.

Day 630 of asking Manly to play A Cold Love Story through RU-vid comments.

A Very What's Your Order today with an Extra Order

no

Yes?

🍺🍻🥂🍷🥃🍸🍹🧉🍾

haha so true

i get the feeling tho lmao

yeah i was like Lisa pulling out my hair lmao

He does that multiple times with multiple drinks and I'm like, "DUDE!" lmao

I don't understand the correlation between depression and your eyeballs falling out

@@Anreii Maybe he cried his eyes out? :)

@@Vilmiaz I like your thinking

@@Anreii Marcus was outgoing and kind but never talked about himself or his problems unlike the other two, keeping all the pressure inside him. He "bursted", which is what happens when you keep too much stuff in a closed container. By always trying to look happy and never "venting", the pressure built up inside him...and he "popped".

@@Jorge-np3tq yeah that makes a lot more sense to me than simply depression

🍊

Yeah it's just showing their true selves instead of how they try to present themselves normally. It's taking the phrase "Keeping up appearances" literally. Henry is a cynic and the more he drinks the more of his assholic side starts to pop out (repesented by him looking unhinged). Lisa is overburdened and stressed out and the more she drink starts to worry about things (represented by ripping her hair out her scalp and looking more manic). Marcus has severe depression and the more he drinks the more hopeless he starts to feel (represented by his eyes bulging out and looking hollow/dead inside). It's a pretty straight-forward in what it's trying to say and just going about it with the absolute extreme. Plus working at a college bar in a small town you get to know the regulars and it's the same song and dance, so I sort of understand what the dev was trying to convey with their message. You see these types a lot, and start to see who they really are just not to this extreme...some times lmfao...

Not exactly though. Alcohol doesn't just lower inhibitions, it impairs judgement. Basically you say and do things you wouldn't, not just what you "want to do deep insude". Any former alcoholic can attest to that. I don't do a lot of things alcoholics do just because I'm inhibited, but because I have planning skills.

I think henry may be a tad bit of people pleaser beacause everyone like this can not be kinder to everyone they don't dislike or hate simply for the reason: beacause he finds some people annoying or bothersome.

Vibin with Lisa fr fr (i have a bad hapit of pulling my scalp hair, eyebrows and eyelashes out, and it hightens when i get stressed)

this is the moment lisa became mojito lady

It's probably an accurate representation of how bartenders remember customers

Like your "oversight oversight" 😅

@@Kelly-hh7jzexactly what I thought

​@@Kelly-hh7jzdefinitely how i refer to them!

It's ok it's a game. You can be as fictional or technical as you want. 😊

hey!! olivia mccabe, who did the art for this game, is one of my best friends!! and i love manlybadasshero, it’s so exciting to see her art on his channel. congrats on a great game y’all, you did some really awesome work :)) best of luck with your game dev stuff in the future!

@@fluffyhamster7 thanks! And yeah, olivia did AMAZING on the characters! I was very excited watching her come up with the creepy designs…especially the jumpscares 😳

Omg I'm a game developer as well but I'm still struggling with chronic alcoholism after 2 years. I've never seen it represented like this, the melting faces are actually close to withdrawal hallucinations. I'd love to do anything to help add to the vision you guys are doing here

Are you guys gonna pursue this anymore? I see a lot of potential in a 'coffee talk' -esque horror game.

I think Henry was the kind of guy who wanted more than life but chose survival more than living

i like this interpretation, a fully fledged game about a bartender who can literally see people as their problems sounds kinda interesting

Henry was resentful, other people frustrated him and he looked down on the folks at his job who caused him problems.

​@@sxained1261 When the bartender have the skill [bartender-sight] but unaware of it.

@@sxained1261 Bartender with their Wisdom stat maxed out rolling an Insight check.

Chill out mate it's monday

@@umbrellastation25 I do not make excellent decisions.

​@@umbrellastation25monday? It's tuesday now here!

It's slightly concerning how manly uploads really often and every time you're inebriated. Take a fortnight of no drinking. Just to prove you can. If you crave, if you feel like you NEED it, seek help. I say this as a former medic. Seen alcoholism ruin too many lives and nobody sees it until it's too late.

@@badgerbane Aww, thanks, boss. I'm mostly just jesting (and only moderately tipsy) though. Got plenty of problems already, and I'm not sure if I'd be able to handle alcoholism being piled on top of them. I appreciate the concern regardless. Thank you for being a good chap. I hope you have a wonderful day.

was gonna say, ive never seen a drink with club soda in it get shaken and that doesn't even sound appealing either lol... I wasn't even thinking about the cap popping off the shaker, i was genuinely thinking about the soda going flat and defeating the purpose of putting it in the drink in the first place lol

What do bartenders do to mix carbonated drinks?

@@MrEvan312 stir, not shake ;)

@@jayvee1387 Nice.

@@MrEvan312 Carbonates stuff usually goes on top, without being mixed, like with some drinks having soda water in them Alternatively we just stir it if we do want it mixed. Thankfully carbonated stuff mixes very well without stirring it hard

I think its the coolest job... Listen to people's stories and mixing drinks. For a job that doesn't require a degree, its like my top 5 picks behind like...baking and barista.

Lol you wish, try working at anything from the Health area, you will see Kates doing a show everyday

​@@honaleriExcept some people may are acting out of line. Oh also would not recommend working in a smoking allowed bar for health reasons

@@JoceBeggar no need to downplay someone's experience

​@@honaleriyou sound as someone who actually didn't work at this job 🙄

That is either a sign that I've had enough to drink, or that I _haven't_ had enough to drink

... Cringe

@@nobody-kp5co you're mother

@@gabrielreda good one you coward

@@nobody-kp5co the only true cringe is calling someone else cringe

I wonder if most devs make their games with metaphors in mind. This one seems like it obviously is but others aren’t as obvious. Though I can’t really figure out what the game about the diaper man murderer is trying to tell us. Edit: on second look I think the diaper man murderer represents corporate exploitation of the workers.

the what.@@Misclicking_orc

@@danielsousa7860 The diaper man murder? Manly made a vid on him relatively recently.

​@@Misclicking_orc what diaper man murderer game? Also, ALL games should have some sort of anticapitalist metaphor about the exploitation of the working class, so that all games can be based.

Which is why when I was younger and used to go out to drink I'd tip well and always made sure I was on my next behavior even when completely sloshed. Bartending is its own special form of hell. I don't need to be responsible for adding to it and making a sibling in labor suffer needlessly.

It has it's pros and cons but the job is definitely appealing if you like mixing drinks and socialize (mostly listen to people) But if anyone reading this wants to be a bartender ensure that you are safe/that the place is safe.

This is va-11 hall-a but scary

i had a friend that was a bartender, he told me some stories, yep, it´s terrifying

The real horror are the drinks we made on the way.

Imo I thought he starting drinking from ptsd, since judging from the jumpscares he actually *was* going to die if he didn’t give them properly made drinks, and I heard there are some people out there who use alcohol to cope with their ptsd

@@qualityqueenbiteszadusto My interpretation relies on the jumpscares and overall horror elements being allegorical, and not literal. But if we were to take the events at face value, that certainly sounds like a plausible explanation!

I like your conclusion

And marcus’s eyes popped out because he cried them out (i think)

I believe the word: thesis is a good indicator of it. College students usually just talk about their stupid high workloads like a part of life

Thanks for the warning 😭

My grandfather was an alcoholic. Eventually, he just became a melting blob of flesh from all the drinking. Still didn't stop him. He died of liver failure sadly.

I'm sorry for your loss... 😢

That's a pretty accurate way to describe what was happening in my many years of binge drinking. It was kind of sad. Thankfully I've put those days behind me. I gave up drinking altogether because I'm unable to be responsible with the stuff.

That's not something many people can achieve, sadly, but, it's certainly something to be proud of to overcome. (:

HA!

Because the footage for the other outcomes are taken from the 2nd, 3rd and 4th playthroughs of the game.

​@@ManlyBadassHero Did u just liked your own comment

same, just happens too often, I can't keep up with re-growing the skin and all

No wonder they all started melting

Yeah the sunrise effect is lost if you shake it up 😅

That shaker gonna blow up making the mojito

Right!? Almost as if it was a game.

​@@itsgonnabeanaurfrommethis is the same argument as "It doesn't have to be good, it's for kids" Yeah, how dare someone try and add some realism to the main game mechanic. Who cares if it breaks the immersion?

olivia mccabe did the art! she’s a friend of mine and very talented :3

@@fluffyhamster7 she really is! Where could I find more of her stuff?!

@@isychia4947there was also another artist on the game who you can see in the game’s description!

the thing hat gets me the most about horror games is imagery that sticks in your mind. so i hate hate HATE the facial expressions, makes my heart jump so bad, and i become paranoid that i wont be able to forget the face. especially cuz the one time i had sleep paralysis, the face of the woman i saw was stuck with me for the rest of the night and i couldnt sleep, had to "make peace" with this imaginary woman just to feel better. other stuff that has scared the shit out of me for the same reason is that one game manly played about a mom praying so hard her son became a skeleton and the painting "tominos hell"

@@knownevildoer jeeeez I literally MAKE up faces especially as a kid

Judging from other comments I've seen the drinks that were chosen are actually not shaken (at least usually), so pretty ironic

The game is actually literal. This is just what happens when you shake these drinks and someone drinks them.

And he would sound half asleep the entire time because he wouldn't sleep before getting the full game to us

there's something like that for VR on Steam, not sure how good it is though

one of the creators commented (here) that they didn't have enough time so shaking is the best compromise they could go for for everything

The ironic timing at it's best lol, but on a serious note - nice, good job! I hope your career will go well and that future customers won't cause issues! :)

lisa's not really a flirty drunk. It seems like her stress bubbled up to the surface when she's drunk. Nevertheless, the game is about different types of drunks.

Bro its not that deep. Its a 20-minute low-effort flash game.

​@@KenLinxwell, this is where people can say anything they want. So it is deep for them.

@@KenLinx Just because a game takes about 20 minutes to play and seems to have taken low effort to make makes it instantly not worth analyzing and making theories about? Let people have fun, just because something seems simple and easy to look over/ignore doesn't make it not worth looking into.

Just imagine the bartender tricking them, by refusing to giving them the drink until they tell them what is wrong. They give them the drinks and the Next drink we can decide to not give them the drink and counseling before finally giving them the choice to either drink their sorrows/problems or try to seek help.

@@deviallen2131 yeah! The game itself however has good plot despite being short, about people consuming alcohol for coping in their lives.

@@winterphuntasm Yeah, i think the Game is mostly to portray the horrors of alcoholism. Is like the game where the Guy has cáncer and yet he still smokes.
