      Oh hey, I really liked your FLCL video, being a fan of the series, and then i watched like 13 hours of your content and this one and a half hour stream because of your recommendation. I really like your videos, maybe because I empathize with them despite being born in 2006. Cheers.

      I came to watch this after your creepypasta retrospective video. "Surely this can't be *the* definitive online horror statement of the year." Then I found myself completely entranced. Glued to the screen picking apart little details and utterly unsettled by the final sections of this video. The feelings we sometimes get with our online only connections. The way they can feel artificial and stunted and that fear of just not truly knowing people who are still so important to us. That intense feeling of alienation as their interactions got more and more strained and odd and questions left unanswered. Not only is this video deeply unsettling, but it's a personal, unique brand of unsettling that is felt strongest by people who have built this exact kind of online connection.
      Made all the more strange by the ephemeral nature of this. I never would have found this. A small stream vod with less than 10 thousand views of just some friends playing gmod. Being led here at all was just another one of those uniquely online experiences. So thank you, I greatly enjoyed your video and I truly appreciate the incredible recommendation.

    The stark difference in behavior before and after the encounters with the redman are really unnerving in a way that twists my guts up. Like nightmares you have of friends suddenly acting entirely out of character and weirdly cruel to you. The attempts to break the ice to get the general feel of the call back to the playful way it started that just get entirely sandbagged, the questions that get asked at first just offhandedly but gradually feel more confused and desperate as they're entirely ignored, the growing sadness and anxiety as all of the out-of-character reactions pile up and the caring vibe bleeds away. And we're left dangling on a thread, knowing the voices we're hearing couldnt possibly be from who we're told they are. Knowing that the mounting feelings of sadness and anxiety are far more justified than anyone in the call will ever get the chance to realize.
    This is gonna stick in my brain for a long, long time.

    this was SOOOO good omg. i came here from hazel's rec on her channel and watched this whole vid in one sitting with my mouth open. one of my partners is long distance and my whole trio has spent a lot of time in minecraft together just roaming around aimlessly and constructing things; this hit SO hard in that part of me that wishes So bad we could just reach through the screen and pull him into it. there's something so painful and yet Real about trying to have these raw conversations about your feelings through a screen and a jittering voice call and how disconnected it can feel, how tech lags and stutters and breaks off right when you're trying to say something that matters the most- i've always struggled with communicating online, and online friendships don't come as easily to me because i feel myself ramming into the limitations of every public discord and social media over and over when it would be so EASY in real life. and yet! it's worth it. it's worth it for meeting people who we love so, so very much, even with the distance and the agony. thanks for making this, it was so incredible.
    (also had a big giggle when zero drakengard showed up. she was right at home with all the postmodern horror yearning captured here. amazing work.)

    the writhing at the end. the slow, gradual evolution from awkward groping to frantic spasms, a perfect mimicry of the in-game death animations that we had begun to desensitize. its cartoon exterior stripped away to reveal the horrifying, dreadful, agonizing reality. a reality that was already fully felt by the other two. that scene made me feel such a deep unexpected fear. What an amazing video. ❤

    when i was 14 years old, i put my soul on display in a discord server with my two closest friends at the time. i told them that the way i felt about them VS the fact that we could only interact over text made me fantasize at times about taking them from their homes and locking us all in a room together, handcuffing ourselves to eachother, and staying there until we starved. they said that they felt the same way. i never, ever got to meet them in person, not before we drifted and stopped talking entirely. all of my friend groups since then have been online. that feeling has never left me. ive never told anybody about it since.

  • @cosmosis1601

    this hit me....supremely hard. the ovearching ideas of closeness, distance, and loving those who you have not and may not *ever* meet irl is something that i relate to incredibly, as someone whose only saving grace from isolation since like, middle school, was having online friends- many of whom i still have to this day! i feel like the redman, whether it's intentionally malicious or not, really takes hold of your desire to want to know people as more than just names on a screen. figuring out more as i went along, i felt a sort of comfort in the idea that even if everyone was Gone at the end, they were together, y'know? which is probably a really strange and foreign train of thought to anyone who doesn't understand the isolation that comes with this lived experience. absolutely amazing work of art and honestly probably something i'll be coming back to for a while to try and suss out any hidden features or meanings!!!

    ok so my take on the redman is one that hits home a bit, as someone that didnt have a lot of irl friends growing up + i mainly relied on friends online. it seems like it mainly goes after online friend groups, especially ones that want to meet up and care about each other a lot. after the first encounter, it plants that seed in the groups mind, and makes them slowly get more and more obsessed with it, whether theyre aware of it or not. maybe even possibly planting in false memories of having seen it long before the first encounter. it feeds off of that longing and yearning that is special to long distance friendships, not being able to meet up so easily and often having lots and lots of roadblocks. it slowly drives the group insane, sometimes over a couple of hours or over a couple of weeks, but its subtle. its not something that happens immediately. until all of that group has succumbed to it, and becomes one with the redman, and it tries to get anyone it can to get involved as with the twitch chat, seemingly maybe taking over chat members, or having bots post about it to try to drag others into the rabbit hole as well.
    this is just my reading not having watched it live, nor was i aware of your guys' work before hand, and this is just from the first watching and i havent really had the time to sit and ruminate on it, but i think its an amazing work of art that blew my mind. people like you guys make me so excited for the future of internet horror, and even inspire me. also the redman's lament part is so good it scratches an itch in my brain and i keep on rewatching it

    • @thedeeds2939
      @thedeeds2939 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      Yeah i like your interpretation, since the redman got them all in the end when do you think he "assimilated" the other two. I suspect the first one was 15:00, but I can't pinpoint the second "kill". I think its at 52:00 but I'm not sure

    • @mlmcatgirl
      @mlmcatgirl 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

    There's this old found footage film I saw as a way too young kid. I don't remember too much of it, but it was about a family in a house and I think the ending was that aliens came into the house and slowly took over everyone's mind to abduct them or something. (I think the film was The McPherson Files, hazel used some footage of it in the creepypasta vid and after looking it up on Wikipedia, the description fits.)
    Anyways, I don't have too good a memory of it, but one thing that's always stuck to me is that not everyone was "taken in" by the aliens at the same time. Meaning that at the end there was one person left who was in this blind state of panic as he was surrounded by aliens and the people he knew as his family and friends - except they weren't really, their minds weren't there anymore. That ending gave me this visceral fear, and I couldn't sleep for days afterwards.
    This stream left that same feeling.

    this whole thing really speaks to me.
    all my friends and both my partners are online, and ive had so many attempts to meet them thwarted by covid or natural disasters or simple lack of funds. it can get sort of all-consuming sometimes -- the loneliness, the distance, the mixture of positive and negative feelings.
    i really like the animation at 15:00. the music is so pretty, and the animation feels happy and sad, scary and cute, empowering and disempowering all at once. it affects me really strongly. i dont know exactly what this little cartoon girl is feeling but i know ive felt Exactly like it before. it feels like whatever's happening to her with the wings is bad somehow. i still want it to happen to me.
    the bit where star (i think, im new to this channel) starts encasing their friends in redstone also hits really hard. theres a certain point in loneliness and depression where... it always feels like you're doing your own thing. where you cant understand your friends, and your friends cant understand you. and youre so lonely that you want to pull them way closer than you should, but at the same time youve closed yourself off and find it hard to say anything to them.

I haven't seen anything that talks about this in this way and I think you really might have found the best format to do it in to convey that visceral feeling. This was really really good. I didn't know I even wanted something like this but it is really making me think a lot in a way I really appreciate.
    I extremely eagerly await anything any of you may work on in the future. This is something special I think. Wow.

    I have. Way too many thoughts about this as a whole, but to keep it brief I think the most unsettling thing that is haunting me about this is that it's horrifying and idyllic all at once. And it makes you feel...conflicted. The horror of becoming purely digital and purely your internet persona is laid bare- it's not as perfect of a fantasy as it may seem on the surface; major things are still lost in becoming that way. And yet, for those of us who have felt some of our greatest connections in life over the internet and have been able to finally define the way we feel inside by the ease of sharing media and the things we love with one another, we long for that to become our physical realm as well on some level. But we still must resign ourselves to physical limitation and the fact that it's just not the same as connecting with people face to face. And there is this pervading anxiety in the stream itself and redman creepypasta that we will never be able to, even if we want to see one another so desperately. But we see it answered here, what if you could bypass that physical limitation? What if you could leave your body and join with others without theirs and feel truely connected? Be limited by no physical force on this earth? But it's alienating if people do not join you. And it's alienating to witness your friends twisted into something else, both in on a secret that you don't yet know. And both sides of this are felt and explored, driving that feeling of confliction up to the very end. I also think it's absolutely genious to stage this story within Gmod and Minecraft; they are very nostalgic settings and that is the first thing I notice about them but they are also games where you effectively play god and you can make the world whatever you want it to be. Albeit...with some limitations. Again. Lots more I could say like, hours long thinkpiece/essay about the layers of themes and personal feelings I got from watching this. This is an absolute masterpiece of internet horror right here. It's no wonder it touched so many people so deeply.

      Probably because at that point it wasn't, to some part, Marcie anymore, at least in my interpretation. A good comparison would one of those Innawoods stories I read a while ago where someones friend goes missing while camping and after a while they can hear their friends voice coming from somewhere, but it's just random sentences mixed together to sound somewhat coherent. It should be their friend, it knows everything their friend would know, but something is really fucking wrong.

    Honestly it took a little bit for this to set in for me, but it definitely hits. I've largely been unable to make real-life friends since like elementary school so a concerning amount of my friendships are purely long distance and online, it usually doesn't bother me but sometimes it's just really overwhelming how far away all the people I care about are. I've had a lot of nightmares about what would happen if one of them disappeared from the internet and this really reignited that for me I think! (Not in a bad way lol, thats just horror 👌) I don't think I've ever had a creepypasta hit so hard, this was unexpected. Fucking excellent work, get that bread!!

And the ending speech, it feels like they’re talking to me and whatever happened to them will happen to my friends and I think that the fact they were able to immerse the viewer into thinking that just goes to show how good this piece of horror media is.

    I actually caught some of this stream live as it was airing, although sadly I wasn't paying very close attention when it was.
    I just finished re-watching it in full after watching through Hazel and Mae's Creepypasta video and...it broke through to such a core, deep yearning and twisted it in such a genuinely terrifying but all the more inciting manner. Genuine fear of what happens to these girls once the change happens and also an intense feeling of jealousy, almost. I suppose that's the price you have to be willing to pay when you want a dream to so badly become a reality, only for it to be a nightmare, and yet still be everything you asked of it in your wildest fantasies.
    This stream is going to stick with me deep for a long time, maybe even have me reflect on a lot of things about myself, as it cut deep to a lot of thoughts i've been having recently. The entire group of people who brought this together and created this stream and made it deserve all the praise in the world for creating something so deeply haunting and resonant. Thank you.

    Couldn't sleep cuz this scared me so good. Loved the sort of copy-pasta being read in unison at the end paired with the lidar footage... shivers up my spine! Most realistic acting I've seen like. Ever. Y'all deserve the world, this is one of my favorite pieces of horror now- Wonderfully done!!! Please continue making "more deranged stuff like this." It's amazing and very inspiring!! :0]

    This was certainly an experience, I never really had online friends or long distance relationships so sadly I couldn't really connect with a lot of the themes of the project, I'm pretty sure a lot also flew over my head, like what was just symbolic and what actually was going on (I'm not very good at interpreting things). I hope someone like Nexpo or Goose boose pick this up so my simple mind can comprehend what I just watched, this project deserves a lot more attention.

    ow, ow, ow. man, i've got so many swirling thoughts about this, feelings coming back up from the trauma abyss are mixing with appreciation for just, how lovely all my current friends are, but i think instead of dwelling on it too long i'm just gonna go hang out with said friends. thanks for making this thing, it was really an experience!

    Rewatching this, again, just phenomenal work. The ending bit still leaves me with emotional shivers and memories of an experience known far too intimately.

    This is legitimately brilliant and definitely almost overtakes “the cum monster” as the best video on the internet. Joking aside, I fucking adore this project

  • @madlad2200

    It's kinda weird but in a good kind of way to watch this vid and end up seeing like a nature of relationships formed online that I never really experienced because I mostly lurk or just hate social media as a way to replace irl stuff.

  • @The.internet_guy
    @The.internet_guy 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

    I think I’ll like it more with time, but it’s good even now. Idk I only have irl friends rn except for one guy with whom i sadly haven’t talk in a while. My tolerance for horror is low in that I keep on being on edge for a while after watching horror media, but this time while it did freaked me out, after watching I don’t feel any fear. I just feel a strong longing, like damn I need to see my friends. In conclusion this movie is a cognitohazard and redman will come for you anyway if you’re codependent/clingy/insecure attachment style enough

    • @The.internet_guy

    i mean this in the nicest, most sincere way, because i genuinely think this is an incredible video and work of art: what the fuyck oh my gfucking god what the hell what the hell what the hell WHAT THE HELL
    i cannot put into words how i feel after watching this. its positive definitely but indescribable. it inspires me to create my own deranged fucked up projects. i want to strangle something. im going to explode. marciesss ive known you for only 1 hour and 26 minutes but i think id kill for you just because of this project. if i sound like im going insane writing this comment then its because i am.
    now i have to go to bed and then act normal tomorrow. what the fuck.

    This is an amazing production
    It feels way too real, and is a breath of fresh air for GMod horror, I almost cried towards the end, it all feels too real
    Love how we have so many pieces, but not really an answer
    I'm assuming it's some kind of cult where your soul is inside the computer, that's why dying hurts and they can't meet in real life
    I can't wait to see what else you make, this is 10/10 and I hope you continue making projects

    This video left me in a strange state between "I sat through an hour and a half for this?" and "god I wish that were me!" in such a weird way that I've never experienced before. I don't even know if it's a good feeling, but it's a new one. It's a good video, I like it, I'm glad I watched it, but it's just not quite there for me like it seems to be for most other people in this comment section, and I think that's the most horrifying part.
    Also the jumpscares were WAY too loud and repeatedly pulled me out of the experience and mostly just made me upset. Loved the neocities a lot.

    • @toastyyyyyyyy
      @toastyyyyyyyy 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

      for real though, because i came reading through the comments after i finished watching, and there are all these comments with reactions so deeply removed from what i just experienced, and that's even more unnerving

    I watched this yesterday and kept thinking about it last night. I'm visiting a life long internet friend for the first time soon, so this found me at the perfect time, I think. Absolutely sending this to my friends. i cant wait to be together ^.^ I don't know if the cutaways are really supposed to be "jumpscares" like other people think, but I definitely enjoyed them as art above all else. That edgy bittersweetness is what i craved as a kid. Also like the foreshadowing in the starting soon screen!! Very cool!

    i've been trying to articulate my thoughts in a comment for about 30 minutes now and i don't think i can explain with words why this resonated with me so strongly. but i at least want to drop a comment for the algorithm if nothing else. this is probably one of the best pieces of online horror i've ever seen and i look forward to seeing what you create next.

    also it took me a second but the distorted version of cold weather by glass beach at 1:01:24 is just so haunting to me and i love it and that song and it really fits the intensity and the vibes and the themes and this whole stream just makes me so dang happy its such an interesting piece of art and i cannot articulate how it makes me feel

    I'm not going to pretend I understood this much. Might be because I don't really make that many online friends. Had a few long distance relationships, so I can't completely dodge the demographic.
    Internet social situation horror, I guess? Made me feel some sort of way.
