My Dad passed away two weeks ago and I hadn't watched a video of yours since. The "Hey Dad, it's me, your favorite son" intro definitely hits different but in a good way

the thing is Paul really isn't a villain, just a person that lost hope and thinks that nothing can be done and just wants to save the few people that he can in his lifeboat and thinks that Jack's actions will sabotage it
you can push him to be more ruthless with the junction decisions and his desease makes him more crazy by the end, but it's not like he wants the time to stop or has some other evil plan

I actually pre-ordered Quantum Break for the Xbox One despite not even having an Xbox One because I love Remedy’s work and wanted to support them. Managed to borrow an Xbox One from a friend and got every achievement and lore bit and everything in a single gaming session. What a ride! Gave the Xbox One back to my friend obviously but I still have the game and the steelbook for it in my collection!

There's also a prophecy twist that's easy to miss. Paul knows the little oopsie caused by Will's interference at the start causes a fracture, but the end of time comes years after his foreknowledge of events ends and he simply assumed that this fracture is the fracture that causes the end of time. Nothing says it couldn't be fixed only for another fracture to happen years later, leading to the end of time he saw. He never cottons on to this mistake, so this is why various Monarch-affiliated characters make comments about how the stutters are happening way faster than they expected and why Paul ultimately 'has' to activate the lifeboat protocol early; they'd all assumed the fracture would progress very slowly and take years to lead to the end of time, but that's not the way it works; a fracture leads to the end of time in just a couple of days. And so we come to 48:10, where it must be possible to change things because they just did... except no, they didn't. Jack and Will using the countermeasure to fix the fracture is simply another part of the closed loop. They were always meant to fix the fracture, they always do and always did fix the fracture... this fracture. There's another one coming, and they haven't truly changed the future.
I really liked this game and it's sad we'll probably never get a sequel, although admittedly some of that is it's simply interesting comparing it to other time travel stories. In some ways it feels like it's Legacy of Kain but heavily compressed; you'd half-expect the sequel to reveal that it's possible to make changes by bringing the same object or person into close proximity with it/themself in a different time period. It's almost deliberately the antithesis of Back to the Future, most time travel stories do the opposite of that and establish stable time loops as having always happened, whereas in BttF there is a "first" instance of someone going back in time and the loop didn't exist beforehand, but the extreme that Quantum Break takes it to is noteworthy, right down to how they don't even use the phrase "stable time loop" and instead say "it must be a closed loop."

Many of Remedy's games could be described as a bit janky in places. But if you can just move past the jank they are experiences for sure. I have played games that controlled better, had better mechanics, better shooting and felt great at the time of playing.... but most of them I have forgotten. Alan Wake, Quantum Brake... those I still remember.
Also, the number of Remedy games that could actually have the potential to make really good movies it pretty staggering :)

"I was in a dark place, and there was a dark man there. His name was Mr. Door, and he told me that there are many worlds - side-by-side, on top of each other, some inside of others. In one world, there was a writer who wrote a story about a cop. In another world, the cop was real. Door said he himself was in all of them at the same time, endlessly shifting between them."
I was late to the Quantum Break party, having written it off at the time due to lack of interest and complaints of technical issues, but picked it up when I wanted to prepare for Control. I was glad I eventually picked it up though, I really liked the story and the characters and the time mechanics were fun. It's not a 10 out of 10 but it's definitely worth picking up.

you make such excellent videos, son. I'm glad I found your channel. I also appreciate that you upload on sundays as it's a nice way to chill on sundays. looking forward to your next work <3

39:10 Just got the idea that the device the team used to avoid being affected by time is the same that FBCs team use to avoid being affected by the Hiss

Pretty awesome game but im more in love with the Remedy universe that connects , Alan Wake and Control, I hope that Remedy can one day reacquire the right for Quantum Break and Max Payne so they can connect those games with Control and Alan Wake as well. Also great video and awesome job son.

Love that your videos don't end with a smash cut to your face and differently mixed voice work or any other jarring starts or stops - it makes them awesome background videos for when I'm vibing. So many others will suddenly try to catch my whole attention whether I can spare it or not and it takes away from their rewatchability. I'm happy to lie on the couch and listen to your work with my eyes closed after a long day, or complete work to them, or clean the house to them, long after I've watched them properly and got everything I should have out of them on a surface level.
Basically keep making good thoughtful stuff that doubles as ASMR, thank you!

I'm hooked on your channel. Great stuff. I'm excited every time I see your new episode is posted. Thanks for all your hard work.

It's pretty heavily hinted, especially with a note addressed to Jack in the final act of the game, that Martin Hatch is actually a Shifter, and probably the Shifter you see in that act shredding up Monarch soldiers.
I can't remember the exact details but I think he's existed on earth for thousands of years, using some chronon event in a cave to travel from the end of time into our world.
EDIT: Welp, that's what I get for commenting before the end of the video lol

Son, i've been really enjoying these videos lately, and have been going on a tear through your content. Your videos are so perfect for when i'm studying or working. Keep up the great work son.

Longform poetry, my friend… you’re a skilled creator and one of my favorite retrospective channels. You have a soothing cadence that makes digesting your thoughts easy.

Something I just noticed is that the AWE in Alan Wake happened in 2010, while the Fracture happens in 2013. So unless the TV production company shot the show and waited almost 4 years to broadcast it that means at some point between Alan Wake had to have left the Dark Place. Either that or the Alan Wake we see in the trailer for the show "Return" isn't even Alan at all, because in Control they FBC has notes stating that Alan Wake hasn't been sighted in nearly a decade, and makes no reference to the show. Which honestly I'm gonna just chalk up to a story writing goof cause when you involve time travel in a shared universe shit just gets totally fucked.

Probably my favourite notification to get on youtube these days son, is another of your videos.
Probably my favourite long-form creator, thanks for all you do mate.

This is great and all son, but I can't put a video on the fridge. What am I supposed to do, buy one of those smart fridges? Do you think money grows on trees?
Great video as always lol.

Amazing retrospective as always
Can't wait to hear you tackle Control (my favorite 2019 game)

Great, and very underrated, underappreciated game, sadly mostly forgotten nowadays.
