My gift is bringing attention to another 'Checkmate Lincolnites!' This time on the charmingly manifestly false notion of the black Confederate soldier.

Yeah. That was a good video. It’s sad that the game basically nails what it wants to say and do mechanically and thematically but than shoots off too wierd total dumbass pseudo assassins creed poo poo.

Honestly this is why I was extremely not surprised when I saw that it was Twin Perfect that had a 4 hour explainer video. Those dipshits are famous for stupid interpretations of Silent Hill followed by absolutely demanding that their interpretation is the only correct one.

Internet media in general rewards "_____ explained" or "this tiny thing is the secret that makes ______ so great". Unless you already have your following it doesn't reward "let's talk about themes in _____ for an hour". It's like RLM - they had to rely on tentpole Plinkett reviews until they got their base and could finally have re:View or "let's talk about star trek" episodes.

Speaking of, not sure if this came up, but Adam Ragusea talks about his participation in "this one chord in 'All I want for Christmas is you' makes it a Christmas song" article debacle from several years ago and how he still regrets it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxUnwsttr_8 - also a good example with "Vox media can't just talk about something, they need to have revealed the One Amazing Trick".

They also blamed Tomm Hulett for killing Silent Hill and their dipshit fans took it upon themselves to harass him, which they didn't mind at all. Hulett had nothing to do with the development or production of the actual Silent Hill games, he was just the guy Konami hired as the public face of the series in its later years and therefore the guy who had to publicly defend Konami's idiotic decisions or at least attempt to spin their bullshit in some manner.

I think one of the Twin Perfect guys eventually realized he'd been a raging shithead and apologized to Hulett (and left the channel as well, leaving the other guy to run it on his own? It's been a long time).

It came up a while back. Jay's summary is 100% accurate despite not fully watching it: the guy picked up on some metanarrative stuff then decided he's 'solved' twin peaks. Theres some interesting points and symbolism I missed on my watch in there but its a very blinkered analysis and its especially poor when it talks about Lynch himself like he's punishing his audience for misunderstanding his message or some bollocks.

But still the guy does know his stuff so I found value in it just as a deep dive into that aspect of the show it just thinks too way highly of itself and does a bit of game theory level straw grasping thats kinda dumb.

The presentation that its 'solved' twin peaks and the numerous commenters that seem to think that this is the true answer to some great puzzle is a bit depressing though.
