So you're saying I didn't need to bounce that hoard of filth into the air and then shoot a rocket into them so that they explode in a wonderful gorey mess, and all I had to do was pull out the Knickelblaster? (Yes this video makes me sad)
The lethargic unenergetic movements, general unengagement with your enemies and the environment, not doing any cool tricks which would invoke joy and instead feeling trapped in this perpetual mental cage of uselessness alongside giving up at the first instance of vocal resistance and obeying instruction. This is what depression turned into gameplay looks like
this is just a clearcut definition of "when your feelings affect your gameplay" this literally conveys the "sigh... alright, lets get it over with.." type of behaviour
my type of gameplay when i start playing: railcoinslab+nail gun overheat+shotgun quick swap my type of gameplay when -2938392983 RESTARTS: bro ima just run up to this guy and 2 pump charge him
25:13 I like how you can just feel the sheer annoyance whenever V1 starts sliding or just going slightly faster, he's just like "just get this over with"
i like how at 15:11 V1 was somewhat enjoying his time in clair de lune and then saw V2 slide by him and just mentally went "cant have a second of peace here in the underworld"
he's there, he has the skills necessary to get him to the top where he belongs, where he needs to be, but he's lost the drive to actually strive for perfection, he's lost that fire that kept him going, he feels like it's not worth it because every day he does the same thing, wake up, P-rank, repeat. his life has grown stale and he's lost all meaning, everything feels dull compared to what it used to be.
@@literalcorpse2037like how in portal 2 wheatley tells you to come back when you're supposed to be fleeing him and is surprised if you do come back (the jump into the pit scene)
@@literalcorpse2037 update apparently there's a file gab_Coward2.ogg where he says "you're actually doing it? i didn't plan an easter egg for this.." but it never plays
@@thejesterbox4096 I forgot I could slide until I saw v2 doing it so much and I realized I went faster if I slid more I also did not realize I could shoot the power boxes on 2-2 (death at 20k volts) and just punched them
@@mixmenmix it's like you enter a party with 1 friend and shortly after entering the friend finds their friends and goes off to do things with them and leaves you alone when you know no one else in the party so you just sit in the corner and sigh.
This reminds me of those moments when playing videogames while depressed, where i just slowly stop caring about dodging enemies, until i end up standing still and dying while looking at my screen with no emotion
I think it could be the opposite, trying to min-max my day by making everything easy for my depressed self can sometimes feel like effort too and because of that going out of my way to treat myself is sometimes a pain too. So I avoid even getting myself little treats like V1 does because I'm too depressed to try to cheer myself up. This is unironically so relatable.
This is unironically how I play, not because I'm a depressed husk of a scaffold imprisoned by my meaty confines, but because my dumbass is incredibly incompetent at navigating a fucking keyboard in tandem with a mouse. For me, this is invigorating.
i like to think that on a daily basis, v1 goes in, defeats every enemy, kills every boss, leaves hell, goes home, and repeats the cycle the next day like it's his job or something
"Machine, I noticed you weren't playing on Violent today. You didn't challenge the Flesh Prison either. And you actually... Turned back. Is something the matter?"
Real talk though, as someone who is soon (hopefully if it works out) starts going to therapy, and has been gradually recovering from the past and depression and has had a better outlook and perspective of life as a whole, watching this really is, for lack of a better word, accurate to the dark places you can be in. Just seeing things pass and doing the bare minimum, feeling trapped in your own body when you know you can do better and thrive and be out there yet you just *don't.* Seeing the glass empty when it's full really is a burden on your inner self and anyone can get through it and be *wiser* and improved further then you could ever imagine. even you. you got this.
I love how in 1-1 when v1 tossed the coin into the fountain, instead of going through the secret exit, he just blankly stares at the abyss, and then walks away
"Machine, turn back now. The layers of this palace are not for your kind. Turn back or--" "ok" "I didn't even get to finish my monologue, Machine. Are you okay?" "I have never been okay."
This video makes you realize how useful red arm actually is, everyone works on their parry skills but being able to hold down swarms while gaining health is pretty good.
This is an entire mood of a video, casually just killing things off instead of doing all the funky tech switching and speed shit, no, just a "Another monday, huh." he's had enough, but yet he still manages to obliterate everything Love it lmao
