I find it weird that Dr. Mick doesn't even entertain the idea that Arthur could actually just be a bad person as he is a murderer.

You should direct TV shows. You're so good at leaving things off on a cliffhanger...

Love how you said "let's find a palette cleanser." And you get the flaming crotch guy mission. Fate said yes.

59:40 can we steal this thing?

22:18 I'm kinda surprised to see so many electric wires and electric lights in 1899 in small towns in the West of the US. I thought that's only the case after 1930?

One of my favorite parts were watching you play poker... I never learned how to play until this series and ow I'm hosting poker nights with my friends!😂 I love all the analysis and I always learn something new and interesting in your streams.

You doing Roman impression made me think it would be great for you to play GTA 4! Eh, Pit Challenges are mostly a skill issue. Promts on the screen would've been nice though. 1:39:20 Yeah, more Ewoks, since the set piece that was filmed in was in Redwood forest. But Wookies home world isn't too far off. More... jungly though. I actually managed to land on this Tallneck by pure luck by gliding down from the mountain across where you come in to the Tallneck's location, like you did 49:30, because I didn't know it was there on my first playthrough. Don't think I had trouble getting on that Tallneck the intended way. Sorry to see you struggled getting through this episode. Must've not been your day.

Honestly I find Aloy’s reaction to Fernund totally reasonable as a woman. Dude was creepy as hell right from the start. Anyway, enjoying your playthrough so far! My first time watching your videos and the Horizon series is one of my favorites. Will definitely watch your HFW series after HZD and then Mass Effect, another favorite.

I know I’m late but I was waiting for your reaction to the “Alistair for King” thing

To anyone watching this in the future: the easiest way to help prevent crashes with this game is to install the 4gb patch. It’s fairly easy to install.

I'm excited to see you get through to the main story of PL, can't wait.

1:22:19 "Out on the field or relaxing at base, Joint Task Force Ten acted as one. The garbled version was: "Ten act" - Tenakth. The entire tribe derived their name from this!

46:42 I definitely think this should be a setting that isn’t on by default for people who want to be able to guess how an action effected someone. But I still think the indicators should still be an option for most people because they won’t wanna read someone’s mental state and just wanna play the game. 1:00:33 he guessed that perfectly 😅

Did Dr. Mike play psychonauts 1? Cuz I can’t find it on youtube

Feel like a lot of people in this comment section are missing the point you’re trying to make. This play through has given me a whole new perspective of this game and how I see the characters, and this ending in particular. When I first played through this myself, I believe I was caught up in the conversation and didn’t understand what Option C was, assuming it meant I had to kill both. I ultimately chose Trevor because 10 yr old me saw Trevor from a very surface level, and believed Michael had my best interest (Franklin’s) at heart. After watching this play through, and going off what I thought would happen before, I would choose Michael as well. The true Deathwish is a fairytale ending, and real life just doesn’t work that way sadly, so I think killing Michael makes the most sense, as much as it might be a really tough decision.

I love how completely unprepared for the Meredith encounter you were. 🤣 I felt like the writing was on the wall man. Poor innocent oblivious Dr. Mick. 😂

I have to end therapy in a few sessions, and there will be no way of directly contacting my therapist. She is in the graduate programm and all communication is via email through a communal university mail address that delivers my mail to her. She can call me from an unknown number or mail me a link for an online session, but that's it. Now that you have talked about privacy and keeping the relationship professional, it makes sense to me that this (sometimes very slow) system was set up this strictly

As someone who has been to war and has been in combat, you hit the nail on the head. It was super hard when I came home then was medically separated from the Army. Life just felt dull. Boring. It was hard to get excited. Luckily, after a bit of time, I can finally find enjoyment in the mundane again. It took a few years to reset my baseline though.

This is a bit late but fun fact the speech about change that Dutch gives on the cliff is the exact same one he gives in red dead 1

good god I agree so much "Evil" is an incredibly useful, potent, and important concept for us to use when we want to communicate about our condemnation or about the dangers in the world. Reducing people down to it without SERIOUSLY good reason is genuinely damaging to LOTS of conversations where we use the word. Briana wants retribution, revenge. She also wants to ensure that her people, and those like them are as safe as she can make them. It's perfectly understandable and admirable. The means to that end are blatantly, clearly just violence in her mind. Can we call that justice? There are things that it fixes and things that it messes up. situations like these are tragically common, and trying to tease apart a few horrible seconds can take *lifetimes* to understand. Black and white thinking is so tantalizing and so harmful, its so hard to peel "evil" away from the danger of saying it flippantly. (not that Bri was necessarily being flippant there, but still)

Quick Stamps for General Mental Health Topics (Please don't hesitate to let me know if I missed anything) 10:48 Information, if it walks like a duck and talks like one it probably is 12:29 No one left behind mentality, people vs object 15:24 Compromise and tough calls 47:09 Rash decisions 48:41 Survival, humanizing, calm under duress 1:20:54 Context, evil isn't just evil, understand to prevent

1:28:55 I absolutely took that "don't make me do this alone" line to refer to life, not the bd editing. And I given the emotion in your voice saying that line, I believe you were just justifying the decision to shoot them to yourself there, not making an argument you believed in lol

Hey! I saw you were in the newest documentary as well, super cool dude!

My first play through of this mission was tough. It made me feel real anger that this human trafficking was being disguised as a potential sports super star convention or something. But it broke my heart when when you find the kid in the office who is so desperate to live up to these expectations that he doesn’t even realize are made to make him a desirable ‘unit’. Love that cyberpunk shows some of these heavier themes without romanticizing them

1:27:38 "I'd rather not kill people, I dont want to kill innocent folks" seems a bit late for that line to matter lol

1:19:51 Jiro is here for snorgles 1:29:00 and Jack is here to Yell <3

Chiming in late, but you are the first reactor I've seen who makes it a point to mention the fact that Bast, when he initially sees Aloy, has empathy for her. And that by the next time he sees her, that empathy has been beaten out of him, and replaced with contempt. And I know you're a therapist and that's what you do, but it doesn't take one to notice that. I mean, I noticed it.

Let me tell ya, I'm watching/listening while I'm at work and i had to have a very quiet freak out 😅 holyyyyy

I honestly think of Arthur and Sadie more as siblings. They might tease each other and get mad, but they still respect and care about each other. Also being honest about things/ do something even when the other won't be so pleased about it, but you know it's necessary. That's kinda like me and my sister 😅

This includes maybe my favorite side mission in the DLC and I was not dissappointed by Dr. Micks commentary, especially the trafficking comparison

absolutely love the Dr. Mick - Dr. Kitty duo

34:00 it lets you walk full speed downstairs but not full speed up

5:00 THIS IS WOMB THIS IS WOMB THIS IS WOMB HOLY SHIT LOOK I MADE IT BLIDINGLY LIGHT THE EGRESS POINT THIS IS WOMB

This is what I'm here for! Dr.Mick progressing 10 minutes of gameplay in 2 hours :D

nobody noticed that the back side of the tiles are the wrong texture? It's all 1 | 1 instead of the back on the table ;D At 2:09:14 you can see how the back is supposed to look like.

This is the equivalent of Goku lending Frieza a bit of his own energy for the intended purpose of escaping Namek, only to be attacked. Bhelen got the crown and immediately went to the extreme.

I wonder if the programmer who wrote that "let's put hey balls to the horses, to feed them" was ever around horses. I mean, they wouldn't touch the hay even if you place it directly in front of their noses. Why? There's fresh grass and nice flowers and bushes all around.

42:40 I can't stop laughing lmao

"Can't trust the police" 5 seconds later trust the police to not shoot 😅

54:51 as i understand night city, the whole point is that any sense of greater ethics has been driven out of society by capitalism, and so anything that gets done HAS to get done on the back of selfishness. There is no working justice system and as a result humanity has gone back to living on a system of vendettas, so if the case is going to get examined at all then it has to be the guy with a corruptingly signficant stake in.

I mean i get it, but it does kinda frustrate me how willing he is to skip quests. The refusal to do immoral things just ends up really feeling hobbling in a game about being an immoral character

The ai in this game can be so hilarious at times, and with the way it improved 10 fold in rdr2, I can’t wait to see what we’re working with in gta 6

1:38:22 I mean technically it works, it's just that our languages are so far apart from each other, because we set artificial boundaries and standardized it through print and creating large countries with unified languages. A couple of hundred years ago this would have worked, because there was no strict language boundaries, and if you go from one town to the next, they would all speak funny, but you could still understand them. And 10 towns down a road, they would all talk very weird, and you may not understand all words, but you would get the gist of it. So speaking slower and louder definitely helped for millennia - to a degree.

1:22:39 hehe really revealing a lot about yourself there getting so upset about some simple flattery

1:16:30 i get where youre coming from, but its funny that now you draw the line. Vs been a piece of shit killer since the start of the game, no?

1:10:40 its funny how much thought you put into that, when i got to the part my thought was "ive already murdered so many people, fuck it whats one more? Not a big deal"

1:11:00. This sentiment is exactly what is wrong with our political system right now.

As I’m only through the first 3 ep. And a half, I’m gonna say that I’m afraid the whole game is gonna miss the mark and not have that payoff of what good therapy actually is. But imma keep watching cuz mick is the bomb

I think you were intended to swap characters more frequently than you have. If you get stuck, you can come back with fresh eyes that way while still making progress.

2:21:51 I love how they made his name kinda sound German, but is off by a longshot ;D
