The secret sauce to "So bad it's good" media is that the creator has the passion, love, dedication, and 100% belief that they are creating a masterpiece sprinkled all over their work

I know I'll sound controversial but I think Rory's ghost reassuring Alex that his death wasn't his fault is a very clever way of characterizing Alex as an unredeemable piece of shit, because you could argue that there never was any ghost and that Alex is simply making his dead friend say whatever he wants to hear as a coping mechanism to evade the guilt of his own actions

I wanna see the devs succeed so badly. I wanna see them make the best damn game you’ve ever seen.

48:04 No matter pretentious, bad and meme-worthy this game is, that stupid line from panda always nearly brings me to tears for some reason. And then the poorly-spliced scream from Alex brings me to laughter again. Every single time.

Honestly that whole “Your mom is all legs” scene could have worked it if we’re placed during the FIRST meeting with Rory
Not only does it help make the apology scene with Rory more serious, but it also helps hammer home Alex’s sleaziness (and reinforces Creepy Alex’s existence)
Imagine meeting a stranger you’ve only talked to online and the first thing the dude does is hit on your mom.

That panda scene almost had me until he yelled "PAN-DAAAAAA" like a character in a 90s martial arts movie. Absolutely broke me with the sheer hilarity, utterly phenomenal

25:43 To be fair, the game telling Alex (or you) that Rori's death isn't your fault is pretty disingenuous. The game knows it your/Alex's fault, but since that ending's entire schtick is giving Alex a fake "happy" ending that neither of you deserve, I wouldn't count that moment against the game. That entire ending is intentionally insulting.

I feel like alot of redemption stories need to knoe that UNLIKEABLE does not equal INSUFFERABLE. I feel like the best example of this is Emperor Kuzco from Emperor's New Groove. He may be an asshole to everyone around him, and he may not care about others' needs, and he may monologue to the camera sometimes, but he is still fun to have on screen because he is funny and charismatic. Take away that last part, and you have an insufferable main character that you never want to be on screen but always is, A.K.A. Alex.
Alex makes me want to YIIK myself

It's bizarre how important this game is to me as person, considering that i don't really like it. Watching people rant about Alex made me realize how much i related to him and his unwillingness to change, and that made me reflect into trying improve as a person, i don't want to be remembered as an Alex. That game legit broke me, and i don't really know if i should be grateful or not

When you were talking about the dissonance between YIIK’s relationship with the genre and the combat system, I couldn’t help but think about how Omori really nailed this same idea. In headspace, the combat can be as outlandish as it wants, but then in the real world, suddenly you can NOT stab another living person with a knife without the consequences of stabbing another living person with a knife. I’m tired and I know that I explained that poorly, but it made me appreciate the writing in that game even more thinking about it.

the 1.5 update is so interesting to me, it literally mirrors the themes of YiiK about self improvement and fixing your flaws. I hope the game gets the No Man's Sky treatment and becomes unironically good.

57:18 he called it ‘Y2K’ instead of ‘Yiik.’ Thats genuine character development in a youtube video essay, its like after the whole video he finally respects the game enough to use its preferred name.

YIIK isn't a game about Alex improving, it's a game about Alex refusing to improve. The og quote from the Dick Show is all about that. Alex NEEDS to improve, but he doesn't

I feel bleak without Alex YIIK

The panda scene actually almost made me cry but then the panda turned into a stuffed animal and idk why but the animation of it turning into a panda plush and floating away was the funniest fucking thing to me

I feel like the creator really and truly got a bad rap for this. Apart from the "Self-Insert Incident" (which was a cosplayer that got labelled as the developer), people love using that interview on the Dick Show. With all consideration, he'd just lost his mother and then his multi-year passion project had become the pissing block of the entire internet--it's pretty understandable that he was upset.

The worst part about YIIK, at least its original incarnation, is how little Sammy's disappearance matteers. Its set up as this big mystery as to who she was, why thigns were weird with her, why did her statements seem so contradictory, why did the soul survivors take her and where was she taken to....and none of this is answered, as the game completely forgets about her and other subplots, instead focusing on the multiverse plot involving the evil Alexs destroying planets for reasons that aren't explained, dropping anything else brought up before without any explanation, payoff, or even a conclusion to them. Just, nah, writer got bored of those things, we're doing something different now that is unconnected to that.

YiiK, a game about a narcissistic God who is locked up in his own imagination and slowly begins to realise that he is a horrible person. On paper that sounds like a cool idea, but man is this execution bad.
Also I'm not kidding, Alex is basically the Brahman or YHWH of this game. All of reality is just a reflection of himself, which is exactly how reality would be if someone were sole creator. What else would the world be but a mirror into that god's imagination? Though Neon Genesis Evangelion and End of Evangelion did much better job at examining this extreme form of escapism.

This might sound strange but after thinking about it, i dont even think the "Alex is the center of the universe" thing is even that bad, or that it necessarily "justifies" his selfishness. In my opinion it's almost like an ironic punishment for his self centered character considering that him being the center of the universe is what's going to destroy the world and take away everything and everyone he loves. Like a big metaphor for how acting like that will leave you empty and alone in life.

if even one character says "I'm yiiking out" in the new update, this is going to be better than Morbius. Trillion copies sold guaranteed
