I know it's just bait but... comparing 2 completely different games it's so crazy
Both in mechanics and theme
It's like comparing bananas to a brush
What are you even trying to compare???
The best mouthwash animatic
Relax
do not pay attention
as he should
Yea, it's so weird. Buckshot Roulette is a high paced game where you put your life on the line to play against The Dealer in 3 rounds of Buckshot Roulette (basically Russian Roulette but with a shotgun)... There's not much else to the main game. Then there's what I call "add-on content" such as Double or Nothing and Multiplayer. The game doesn't really have a story or theme... Well besides what I always sorta see as a slight theme of addiction (such as items like beer and cigs being helpful items and also the whole high stakes part being important...).. MEANWHILE Mouthwashing is a horror game about 5 people on a spaceship who are now drifting through space and all are slowly going insane (obviously can't really say much else without spoiling) and the game is more narrative focused...
Mouthwashing the game is a far superior strategy to the classic buckshotting approach, offering a more nuanced and effective way to dominate the competition. At its core, mouthwashing involves carefully and methodically rinsing the game board, systematically clearing out opponents' pieces one by one rather than relying on the brute force of a buckshot blast. This deliberate, surgical strike allows for greater control and precision, enabling the player to surgically remove threats while maximizing the placement of their own forces. In contrast, buckshotting is a more reckless and indiscriminate tactic, spraying the board with a wide dispersal of attacks that may take out some enemy pieces but often leaves your own vulnerable and exposed. Mouthwashing, on the other hand, is like a skilled surgeon removing a tumor - it's a delicate process that requires patience and finesse, but yields far more reliable and realistic results. Furthermore, the act of mouthwashing the game itself carries a certain psychological weight, creating a sense of unease and discomfort for opponents as they watch their carefully laid plans systematically dismantled piece by piece. There's an undeniable elegance and grace to the mouthwashing approach that simply cannot be matched by the brute force of buckshotting. In the end, those who understand the meaning of mouthwashing will find themselves emerging victorious time and time again, their opponents left wondering what hit them as their defenses crumble under the relentless, methodical onslaught.
thank god i passed ap english for this to work
.....oh
You're a writer, man.
though the surgical sense doesn't have a correlation to what the game dictates
metaphor
Well, you're very good at speaking out.
thanks it took me a LOONG time to snip and mix-match pieces within the lore
honestly loved it though
Perhaps (not a fact) I could do the same
but not in english.
do your own twist with it I love reading these sorta things
even when i joined a day ago
maturity differences
its just a ship no one is DYING over it
but still
it is weird
Everyone is dead from each other
No they both are tahts the whole point of it beng toxic
Also omg midra hii
i was exaggerating it trust me🥀
creep-
Ai ahh response
guys instead of "put the fries in the bag" we should all say "put the curly in the bag"
put the leg in the bag
put the leg in your mouth
Yeah boss
where can i send fanart
I've seen people put fanart both in this channel and the mouthwashing spoiler channel, obv stuff that's spoiler based in the latter
okk
slayed
ate
ngl 50 percent of it was made on a whim and the other 50 is just yapping
what if his name was snurly
hiii yall
I love daisuke witb this sound
....you know what. This gives me a ship: anyuke :3 Anya x Daisuke.
ITS ALL OVER MY SCREEN 😭😭
-# on further note: I have decided this is cringe./j
-# lol
after seeing the head cannons that Daisuke calls Anya mom when he's sick I can't see them that way 💔
-# I can't see them more than friends
idk how to do that but real
Exactly why I deemed it cringe. They have more of a familial relationship than a love relationship
-# like this
I can't see Daisuke being more than being friends/having a family dynamic with them
SO REAL
-# thank you
oh cuz u put a /j so
NAHHH WHAT THE HELL
I SWEAR THERE'S EVEN PICMIX OF IT
why is it that the game's premise goes in one ear and out the other for some people 😭
that one jimbalaya and curly gif....
THATS THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF THEIR RELATIONSHIP THO-
WHY ARE WE SCREAMING
BECAUSE SEEING JERKY X DAISUKE MAKES ME MAD-
-# also, out of character here, I love the gag of never called Jake by his real name.
-# he doesn't deserve to be called his actual name
-# its massive!
.....show me
-# ....don't make the joke. Stay PG... Stay PG
nahhh😭
-# where did you see that...
-# shhhh, the curlys are sleeping..........
guys should i make an online hear me out cake

burn jam like they did with wicthes!!!
||Th real biden blast is thinking abt how she sat there in the infirmary fighting thru trauma to save the man who she thought smiled light into her eyes then failed and killed her oh my god im never gettign over it||
theseare mine now.
this game is one of the best written horror games ive ever seen
real. the writing is so well done for his character bc he's so completely irredeemable. the game is so well written and everyone feels so human and alive
||the writing to set up the twist of Jimmy being all along is purely beautiful, and horrifying||
Ooooooh thabk you
dream
i got 750 tiktok followers overnight
this game is so sad yet the community is so lively
I like how the community is really lively
Sometimes makes u forget what happens to them
the counterintuitive parts to a destructive game
I’d still be bawling my eyes out if I kept seeing horrific Daisuke fanart
hey i'm sorry this is a bit silly but I can't find the bug reports area where I can create a ticket for my issues in mouthwashing
does anyone know where I can find it? i'm only seeing a buckshot roulette related one.
unfortunate. i'm having a unity crash on launch
did all the normal troubleshooting steps that usually fix basic shit like that, driver updates, reinstall game, verify game files etc
still crashing unfortunately
yeah wish I could help but you mostly named all the adviced I'd give for failure to upboot a game
you could look on steam for help they might have something
yeah I posted to steam and in the forum it's like "you can also make a ticket on our discord!" lmfao
ty though
It's called "cope"
Usually when a game events are sad, more the community is lively
And when a game is happy, the community is sad
Copium

though daisuke's is truly innocence
he never wanted to go
and was forced
i would buy a curly plush
i'm not even mad I can't finish the game
I think the bug will eventually get rectified and i'll eventually get to finish it
mmmmmmmmmmmmm
I will never recover from this
109775241761342052
i am NOT finishing this so you guys can have it
HELP
WHAT
I really want a Curly plush or tbh any of the non-Jumbotron characters. I already have few plushes from other horror media (Laceygames, Vita Carnis, and Shipwrecked 64 come Dec) and I wanna take them all out for a stupid beach photo shoot
Ohg ididnt know they made shipwrecked 64 merch
Iwould buy literally any merch wrong organ made i do not care or discern i just need and consume
They had a makeship campaign for a Bucky plush! It was fulfilled like, super fast so I'm hopeful they might do something again for the folks who missed out
Ohh yea thats a shame its rlly cute
Not absolving him but its rlly critical to mouthwashing imo that none of us rlly deserve to be the people capitalism turns us into
Even jimmy fundamentally deserves better
But my break is over sooo thats all ican say on that
I don't think jimmy is mentally ill. He's delusional.
My friend sent me msg about how they might do merch bc it was in their first QnA thingy I just hope plushies are made
also now that i've finished the game I have no idea what this person is talking about
despite this none of the characters in the game make the same decisions that Jimmy does
delusions can be part of mental illness but I doubt that is why jimmy thinks the way he does
Oh yeah I saw that! It's just unclear what exactly the merch will be as its very much "this is something we want to do, but nothing is set in stone." I'd honestly rly hope for plushes but i think some sort of posters/prints would also be cool!
mentally ill people statistically are nonviolent and more likely to be victims of violence so I don't buy the "actually he was just mentally ill" part
Man I’d love to have posters of the crew on my wall!!! Without jungle in it Ofc
||literally when faced w his actions outside the cockpit, he decides to kill everyone and himself so he doesn't look like a bad guy. That's not mentall illness. It's selfishness.||
Didn’t he crash the ship too because he was jealous of Curly?
I think that even if Jimmy had something mentally going on, its obviously not what made him the awful person he ended up being. That said, I think by late game he was sort of "losing his mind." I dont feel comfortable saying more bc I'm not an expert and also dont have those experiences
Maybe more for spoiler chat but i interpreted that ||it was both jealousy and knowing that once they were on earth he'd have to face the music of what he did to Anya (even if that's only in terms of custody/child support) as well as no longer having a job||
||jimmy crashed the ship because he did not want to be held responsible for getting anya pregnant against her will. it's heavily implied that he assaulted her. she tells curly in the flashback that she "told him" referring to her reporting him when they got back. He decided to damn the entire crew as he did not want to be held responsible. In a way yes he was jealous of curly, but that wasn't his motivation for killing everyone||
That makes a lot of sense tbh. I wasn’t paying a lot of attention too when watching a playthrough
||if that were true, why would anya be on the verge of a psychotic break for most of the game, even actually suffering from several anxiety related attacks||
I don't think anya is a flawed character in terms of her morals
at all
I don't think any of the characters are bad outside of jimmy and to some extent, curly
Thats fair, ||i think i was thinking to much about the conversation in the cockpit where Curly expresses complex feelings about his position and Jimmy's outburst at the party||
|| they were literally all going to die out there. she couldn't live with jimmy anymore. that doesn't make her a bad person. I dont agree with you at all||
||she outright tells curly "i can't be around him anymore"||
like, yes it is abt analyzing flaws, but I don't see ANY of the characters making the same decisions as ||jimmy||
more like a psychopath
I still think it's kind of ridiculous criticism of her character to be like ||she didnt consider the trauma of the other people jimmy damned directly via his decisions, who were all going to die, one of whom did you know what to her.||
one that I dont agree with your assesment on
petition for a mouthwashing meme channel
Yes!!!
Uhhh... What's going on
"she's not perfect" is an opinion lol
||well she never got to peer into the knowledge of the trauma because of it being held back by curlys own ambitions||
||how so? i am interested to hear your view||
when didnt she do that
not putting tags cuz its not needed
||if you really think about it putting the pieces of the game together the only person she wanted to know deeply and understand was curly, however he withheld that information from her, for reasons he believed to be justified against his own will and nature||
I thought the point of the game is that you can't run from your mistakes and attempting to sanitize your actions and make yourself look good despite the way you've harmed others you will tear good people down with you
????
not gonna comment tm but making one’s persons suicides about other people..
nobody is insulting anyone, I think the point of art is to cause a discussion which is exactly whats happening now
oh no it was because someone threw profanity
i like this debate
keep going
LOL
ok good 🙂
the bot is a little overzealous, I cant even describe events in the game without it banging me
🧐
genuinely this take makes no sense to me. why is this the thing you are picking out and not that ||one single person's decision caused the deaths of all involved, aside from curly, who we do not know the ultimate fate of||
||right, and what jimmy did to her didn't directly cause the trauma that made her do that ||
uhhh what
im not pressed it's just a bad take and im saying that as part of our discussion, makes no sense to criticize ||the character who got assaulted||
what's confusing you, i'll clarify
theyre not criticizing anya?
I don't know how i "sound" angry, for questioning your take on the game
I think if your takeaway from the game was "well, nobody's perfect! they're all flawed" I genuinely think the point was missed
it's debatable
given the circumstances
and I do find it interesting that you still haven't really addressed any of my points about ||jimmy||
lol
I mean, it is though.
what about her i just got here lol
daisuke is perfect frfr 🙏
it's pretty simple, you made a statement about the work, I replied to it and disagreed and I haven't realy seen you attempt to refute it outside "well imagine how curly must have felt"
We can all agree
in all honestly hes never genuinely did anything wrong if im wrong someone correct me
||imagine how curly must have felt that he was maimed as a result of a spaceship accident that jimmy caused||
no it's okay you aren't able to defend your points
real!!!
yeah that is pretty messed up but if you think about it that was one of the only rooms with a lock
I dont think you can talk about WHAT she did, without including the WHY she did it.
Well also, she was desperate.
She wanted to get it done quick
She was on a ship with a man who she feared
and make sure nobody could stop her as well
yeah i agree but what if theres a reason ||she did it in front of curly? im sure theres theories. like what if she did something before killing herself||
its possible
Because she was... Killing herself...
I mean... If you were hell bent on killing yourself, would you want someone to stop you?
Especially by a man you feared
yes thats exactly why im saying she chose the only room w a lock
out of necessity
listen im not trying to imply anything, I just think its interesting that you leave your complaint abt jimmy as "I hate him end of story" and then you have ALOT more to say about the character that was victimized in the story
like i'm saying, why is that. it's a genuine quesiton and im not trying to insult you or imply you are bad or something
cockpit had one too
oooh yeah you're right
locking herself in the cockpit probably wasn't an option as well ||likely because she planned on dying with the gun staying hidden||
i dont think you read my question at all lol
Yes. It is bad she did it in front of Curly, and she is flawed in that way. But that does not mean she is inherently uncaring or anything, she just was desperate and broken.
start off by telling us how your defending jimmy
if you alr did say it again i wasnt here lol
I'm just saying. Dw.
how am I defending jimmy at all
Just saying my pov
mb
wait whats your side of the arguement
why are we arguing bro
I am saying ||he's responsible for everyone on board's death. and for what he did to anya, which caused the series of events that led him to keep the ship on the track with the space rock||
jimmys a loser and anyas ignorant end of story
how is anya ignorant
I'm saying I dont think Anya, Swansea and Daisuke are really "flawed" per se, and any negative actions they take in the story is as a result of the desperation of the situation they find themselves in.
im so confused i left for like 10 mins
you are so incredibly mad because I asked you to defend your statement and disagreed
if you fully read and comprehended the things ive been saying to you I feel like you would not be feeling that way. if you have any questions, I will clarify. but you have to stop accusing me of being mad for asking you to defend your own statement.
it's a piece of art, it is intended to be debated
THEY ARE FLAWED JESUS CHRIST.
EVERY CHARACTER IS FLAWED IN A WAY
(well besides Daisuke)
what's daisuke's flaw, beiing kind of dumb?
Well... Yea
what's swansea's flaw? being negative and going back on his sobriety?
He's a newbie
Yes.
||lets be on the side of the argument where anyas going to kill herself NO MATTER what. no talking her out. so killed herself in front of curly which would OBVIOUSLY affect him when she couldve just moved to the cockpit with the pills in hand and locked herself in there rather than with curly. shes ignorant to the fact that she couldve put a major impact on curlys mental health in the process of killing herself.||
You're literally saying the flaws
he went back on his sobriety because they were all going to die lmfao
daisukes ego was easily inflated and thats what drove a few things, i guess that could be a flaw 🥲
hello gang 🙏
has anyone else had trouble getting the any% glitched achievement i know there was a patch for it but ive done the run multiple times and timed each one, ive tried skipping from chap 12/13 and still nothing 💔
would anyone know a fix or anyway i can just give it to myself maybe through the files or anything?
idk if this is where i ask but thank u
||your right but she had the choice of where to do it||
I kinda feel like he was manipulated by jimmy
bc jimmy purposefully went for his ego
The final flaw which is Anya is that she was too much of an emotional wreck, she could never think straight
he aint dumb bro hes the smarted dude in his town and was the best in his junior baseball team tell me how hes not the goat 😎
so why was she like that
because she's never depicted before the "event" that causes the events of the game
so we don't really know what her personality is like before she was traumatized
You realize flaws can develop at any time, right?
We're talking about DURING the events of the game
hello
Finally, we have curly. His major flaw was his naivete and being a people pleaser....
what are you guys discussing
Anyways. That should wrap up the main crew (besides Jimbo) flaws
be fr
What
stupid bot deleted my msg
The flaws of each character
hmm, maybe I just find it strange to criticize the "flaws" the characters show during the events of the game, but in that conversation kind of gloss over why they were behaving that way
he was young and put his trust into those who were in a higher position than him and that is FAR from wrong
like, can't we agree that at least one member of the crew is much more flawed than the rest
i mean hes obviously mentally ill
I don't really agree
thats what led him to do what he did
true
why do you think he's mentally ill lol
fr
i wonder
because of what he did and the hallucinations he was having
is this a spoiler free chat
or can i say
||he crashed the ship because he couldn't face the music about what he did||
yeah but the only reason he did what he did to anya was because he was mentally ill
yeah he thought he was helping him
||personally i think the hallucinations are meant more as symbolism for his lack of ability to take responsibility for his actions, even up to the very last moment he was delusional that somehow he could "fix" what he had done||
and he definitely went overkill with it, he cut a piece of curly for everyone who was alr dead
i have a very crack theory
||anya could've locked herself in with medway with curly because she believed blocking off jims access to him was the best decision||
plus he clearly manipulated daisuke
so like, narcissism isn't a mental illness. neither is a savior complex. idk why you think he would be scizophenric and schizophrenic people are statistically nonviolent.
I like this one
YES
Yes he's definitely gone completely at this point I agree
butr I dont think that's because he was mentally ill in the first place.
hes a ||jealous spiteful manipulative gaslighting guilt tripping ungrateful saer who pushes blame on other people whos verbally abusive to ppl like Anya AND abusive to curly LOSERR||
okay wait i have a question tho, i played the game yesterday and im still kinda confused on how daisuke got hurt
was it the vent?
Yes
ok it is but that doesn't really change what I said tbh
oh okay yeah i was thinking that but they didnt show anything
I think you can do those things without being mentally ill
yeah and hes like this because hes mentally ill
stop calling me bro please
like, i have a female name and i'd appreciate if you'd stop that
he MIGHT be bipolar ngl
not really being this insensitive is usually because of a mental illness
knew it
oh yeah youre right
i knew jimmy was bipolar lol so is my dad
I'm not insulting you. i'm asking you to please stop.
true but i was just confused cuz we didnt see anya od until later so i originally thought she had done something
I read the "visions" in the game more as symbolism for jimmy's guilt
who up washing they mouth
jimmy would
it could be both youre not wrong
it could be, you're very right tbh
but the only reason he has guilt in the first place is cuz he was mentally ill enough to crash the ship just imo tho
I don't think he crashed the ship because he was mentally ill though
I think he did that to avoid taking responsibility
i mean, all the game is about taking responsibility
like, obviously it's "crazy" to crash the ship. but people do desperate things to avoid facing the reality of their own decisions
yeah but he also manipulated curly into thinking hes correct before crashing the ship
and alot of people who commit the act that jimmy did often lack the self awareness to realize that they did something bad, which is usually irl why they blame the other party, or being drunk, etc
wait what
I see what you mean, but I think his decision to do it doesn't make him mentally ill even if it seems "crazy"
yeah but lacking the self awareness is also narcissism
sorry if i spoiled
so what is up with the mentally ill jimmy discussion? i thought he obviously was extremely delusional
no i just haven't seen that take before 😭
Like how is this a debate
I think that calling a person who does something bad mentally ill isn't really fair to people who are actually mentally ill. because most people who are mentally ill are non violent
I mean jimmy is mentally ill
its not a take tho it happened the only reason curly let jimmy into the cockpit was cuz he got manipulated to let jimmy help him
i'm talking about things after the crash
most people irl who suffer from some type of mental condition are subject to institutional violence
no offense but having mentall illnesses doesn't qualify you to say that with 100% certainty
im not mentally ill but i think its pretty obvious going off the fact he made a guy eat his own leg
#│mouthwashing-spoilers-zone

nuh UH
oh sorry ive been talking here for a while and nobody said
there is another channel thats for spoilers
can you guys not talk so fast
I guess it's good then
Im sorry but your takes claire are giving me a headache
might be ur lag its not going that fast for me
i'm sorry I made you think too hard
Im tweaking
or maybe its my lag idk
you can be a subject to violence and also commit great amounts of violence
won't happen again
we can both be correct i actually think ur pretty smart for the symbolism thing
i mean i understand your point of view is in good faith and the point you're trying to make here
but you can also separate his actions from his illness. like he's not a caricature or representative of some group of neurodivergent people as a whole, i don't think anyone is just calling him mentally ill out of stigmatization or whatever. just analyzing his character. he is a terrible person its not like anyones excusing it either
If you say that, you don't judge peoples. They can just say "omg i got controlled by a demon i'm not guilty'
no i was timedout
I got flash to animate mouthwashing but then i drew my sona randomly
oh LMAO why
why ?
no idea
bruh
Talking too fast
oh
Iif u send 3+ messages too fast timed out
damn what that sucks
thanks, for the most part i've been enjoying the debate outside of people being a bit hyperbolic and argumentative for me asking why they think certain things
dumb ass rule
interesting song choice but i like the display
Best animation program ive used
i'm not good at animating and even worst when it comes to graph editor - but yeah, i tried
i think jimmy, is a really good example of a mentally ill villain, like on the levels of tetsuo shima in terms of being well written
I agree with you, and to some extent actually I think you guys are right, he's probably suffering from more than just being a bad person
Jimmy is a villain with ill but not only, he knows what he's doing
oh whoops this was meant for you @mossy pilot
nah its chill this is discord so ofc people will take it to heart but i think both sides of the argument are correct
Yeah, i get being uncomfortable with the whole "oh he's bad so he must be CRAZY.. one of those SCHIZOPHRENIC PPL..." kinda stuff though. I just dont think thats what most people mean by it, hes just kinda got some screws loose
i'll be so honest I finished the game ands immediately jumped in here because i wanted to talk about it so it was so fresh inb my mind
Wiat i dont think i have another code thing for it
Ill just steal one abd see if it works i guess
I guess I just kind of feel like it's a disservice to the narrative to just write him off as mentally ill and contributes to a negative stigma around people having mental illnesses
oh yeah no same here well sort of i finished it yesterday
wasnt it out of jealously though
Imagine talk about mouthwashing without talking about ABSOLUTE DISASTER
to some extent yes
then he soon later regretted that action even though his word spoke what he couldnt do
i havent liked an indie game like this in a long time so i had to talk to people about it
this one and signalis are my current favorites.
both of which are heavily inspired by silent hill
i havent heard of signalis where can i play it
peak ofc
my main reason I think it's symbolism and not just jimmy being psychotic is silent hill
it's on steama!!!!
*steam
yeah causes hes a psychopath he cares for himself not others,
last indie game i felt strongly about was cooking companions but that was in 2021 and i dont get the hype i had for it before LMAO
it's really good. it's an isometrical resident evil/silent hill type of vibe
he knew once they came back to earth it was all going to the trash 😂
I mean, to some extent, he does care about curly
ill check it out for sure ima put in it my wishlist rn
and I agree with that statement
and I think to some extent, he cares about anya as well
I just think he's also delusional
his sentimentality is only so vague but meticulous in his visions
and kind of a bad person
(jimmys visions)
i mean this relation was in the first place who brought their gay relationship in fan arts
@silver moss i see it is it kinda like the game with the robot girl and shooting
jimmy caring for anya?
the game goes out of its way to talk about "hey just because you did something bad doesn't mean you're fully evil" right
thats an interesting start
kinda sorta
Aphex twin
just based off of what i saw first glance
i mean jimmy never regretted his actions
no you're right but i dont think it was really caring for her but more his duties as "captain", like with curly and his pills
see, now that we're past the disagreements, everyone is having a good debate about the motivations of the characters, which makes mouthwashing very succesful as a piece of art
Did he explicitly said sorry to a real based person, or a mental creation of someone ?
word it in his universe, in his mind he believed he wronged everyone
except anya
isnt that interesting?
SO ?
very good point
It's easy to excuse yourself when all is in your mind
wait when did he believe this
because he was chased by the fetus human centipede horse
well this isnt particulary time to mention spoilers
just say it
and tag if you need to
people who do very bad things a very good at excusing their own behavior. for example, many nazis lived to old age after wwII, not everyone had regrets about what they participated in
cuz they were manipulated but im not sure who really manipulated jimmy
NOBODY
with that in mind, and having personally had experiences with "friends" like jimmy, it's hard to write off their actions as mental illness
could just be some background lore we dunno
||the issue with this is that the fetus(the horse) symbolized his weird attraction to cartoon horses that he made a reality then counteracting the fact polle=> is what he feared||
it would completely kill the story and the overall message
yesss slay exactly
no he wasnt actually attracted to horses he was shitting anya cuz he didnt wanna do the eval
exactly
bruh
I mean yeah exactly, but then why would he have a vision of that
||the issue with his attraction to the horse is he made it a reality when he viewed anya as an object, not a person||
what are they a symbol of?
ill brb
in your mind
i think this part was unecessary for the story
the whole chasing scene was too much
look at my down spoilers
sure but it's an indie game about trauma, it kind of has to have "visions" lol
sorry if i didnt specify why the psyc eval thing
ye
life time of the game too
but in story terms
i even mentioned it saying he made his weird attraction a "joke" a reality
I don't know if any part of this game was unintentional
I am leaning towards each thing having specific reasons for being present
not "unintentional", un necessary
to give an example from another game
the characters in silent hill aren't just "crazy", the things they see are representations of their guilt n etc
*i'll have to rewatch the whole scene because i only have a blurred memory of it
curious for a character who does not feel guilty lmao
(jimmy)
I think if he didn't feel guilty he wouldn't have had all those dreams/visions. I think they are supposed to represent his feelings about his guilt in a way that's tangible to you as the player
like, they can't force you to feel things
they cant just write on the screen what he's feelingr
that's not effective
I mean everything scary and weird that happened was in his mind, his visions
it IS effective to present those feelings as imagery, as films and games and comics often do
He's in a spiral of deny, and combined with mental ill, it causes those visions
||Pyramid head is not a monster, he's a manifestation of James's trauma || <-- silent hill 2 spoilers
think thats what made this game unique, even if it seems repetitive to the rest of the horro franchise of gaming
i mean schizophrenic peoples often get tormented by voices that says "you made it" and all

hes a bit of a schizo, a bit of a psyco, and a bit of a socialpath
hmm
a little bit of everything
but if they weren't tormented they probably wouldn't feel guilty about their acts
anyway that's my takeaway, no disrespect to anyone who still thinks hes mentally ill. I would maybe agree hes a narcissist
I dont really know what this means
he's a bit of all
even if they arent explicitly mentioned he shows some signs of those actions he committed
my english sucks ngl 💀
lmfaooo all good I want to understand
I dont think schizophrenic people are tormented as a result of their actions
ego,narcissism, gaslighting, selfishness, malevolent
as not all schizophrenic people are violent
you can name him for so many things
some schizophrenic people just like, rip all the wiring out of their house because they thing the government is listening to them
yet many of them display violence in different ways, not saying all but most
i just wanna post this here because earlier aron was posting other screenshots from google AI, which you really cant trust
as we are both getting conflicting answers from it
schizo or other forms of mental issues
but voices in your head (not yours)
argue however you like
but you better have scientific evidence backing up your claims
there is a studied link between schizophrenia and violence, however the medical documentation of the disorder still states most are non-violent
The fragility of someone can lead to violence
it's quite common for people to label antisocial behavior as "schizo" which is really a disservice to people who actually suffer from these disorders
that's the point I was makingr
also, to be honest, I think it's a lazy read.
is jimbo schziophrenic
but I dont mean to offend anyone when I say that
I just think it's too easy to go "yup hes schizo" and call it a day. I think his character is more complex than that
I mean this game depicted someone taken from out daily world and thrown into space with someone with less sanity than a pro wrestler
and honestly, it's scarier and more relatable if he isnt
of course his character is more complex than that
yeah - that's what makes him a good villain
||if he wasn't here, mouthwashing wouldn't have a good story||
his villainous actions make it applaudable almost like it was perfect, then his leniency with curly oooh my god was this good
would?
The horse was supposed to be the fetus in Anya (when he impregnated her without consent)
yes
oooooooo
let me hear me
Guys this debate was fun but I gyatta go
more*
goated

aaaaaa
Omg guys is that Mouthwashing ?!
no thatd be me
wow
uhhh
I start this into saying i am not a liscense pyschologist i am a trans girl on the internet who really loves writing and analyzing shit
With jimmy ||when i went through the game and stuff, i always seen him as being a narcissist. At least checking pff most of the boxes Self inflated ego, using people to build himslef up, a constant victim and hero complex , and so forth ||
I agree w you 100%
fire writing
You’re right
Lemme go through his good stuff rq
||takes put piece of paper…flips it …hm.||
lol
You’re right
||dying||
i need to write a wattpad fanfic about jimmy's past
I also think ||Jimmy has always been abusive towards Curly (they’re conversation at the birthday party makes it clear to me that this was NOT the first time Jimmy made curly feel bad or aboyt him||
i literally was gonna say this
he belittled him for the fact that theyre gonna be let off and blame him for his own issues
sounds a bit like gaslighting hm?
i could go into detail but
I msan, ||Jambayly’s entire relationship aith the coworkers can be metaphors for abuse or uhh predatoryness||
i want to hear what you say
facts
||Anya is obvious. Daisuke was manipulated by the much okder Jimmy into doing something he didn’t want to do (remind you of something) and his actions to “help” him onoy make things works. Jimmy taking advantage of Swansea while drunk for his own benefit and then later blaming Swansea qhen it went wrong||
||And….Curly||
honestly if you really wanna get logical* everyone was a pawn for jimmy
yes thats why i think it's kind of wild to have ur takeaway be "everyone was flawed/bad"
Yeah pretty much.
Though i say also the fact the true villains are Pony Express because of their blatant negligence and greed
i mean in a sense the only true villain is the company
excluding jimmy
I think i’m a little charitable with the interpretation. Personally nobody should have really aboard the Tulpa
what the flip we said the samething
lmao
Imo the horse being the symbol for the company fits. Like in a “overworked and underfed animal” way.
😔 also swansen solos
yeah the horse as a meaning in its own symbolism
think realistically what happens to horses in general
Bros an actual saint. Dying in 3 hits
Yeah
Jimmy was clearly mentally disturbed in some way, Daisuke was completely inexperienced and lazy, Anya (bless her heart) was underqualified snd didn’t even get into med school. And while Swnasea is a decent guy at his job, he’s also inhospitable and one bad sitiation away feom being a drunk
swansea so overshadowed
tried his best for the worstoutcome
💔
He just like me fr (depressed old man)
^. Although
I cant say daisuke is lazy? He’s just a nepo baby
I had a massive rant abt this game i could send it. (I’m normal)
Lazy isn’t the right word, but it’s clear he’s not someone who shpuld be apart of the crew, which was on Pony Express
^!
unfortunately all things connect to one purpose, capitalism
Life was too simple and easy. He didn’t deserve this
The spine of any horror game
I drew him
indeed
Jimmy is so well written.
I love this
I haven't drawn in a month
or so
But then again Curly is easy to draw
Whether it8s about killee animatronics, killer ink blobs or just some dudes trapped in a ship with mouthwash, capitalism is the true villain
I wanna know thoughts abt curly. Tbh. Like why didn’t he do more once he found out Anya and Jimmys situation. Is it because he’s a man? And he doesn’t understand? Is if because he likes Jimmy too much?? Or his captain duties of like. Getting together in one shape
Ohh boy
YEAH. LIKE
This is a fun one throws back a cold one
jimmy is a labyrinth but this guy is worse.
I like to think ot’s a mixture of a few things
-
Curly is also abused by Jimmy
-
Curly still cares for Jimmy and doesn’t want to get him in trouble (selfishness)
-
Curly was placed in a situation where he knew how Jimmy would react, and didn’t wanna risk setting him off until they (more accurately anya) was somehwere safe and away from him
Yeah
It’s clear that Curly, like how Jimmy is through the game thinks he can “fix” what happened
Was curly also abused? Is that a theory or do you have some backup cuz i like to. Look into that
The worst “i can fix him” guy ever
No direct evidence buuuut i think you can read how their relationship is (the birthday scene, right before the crash, how Jimmy talks abouy Curly and so forth)
People give curly much benefit of the doubt and like Im lost aug
You know why Anya hesitates and Jimmy goes in to give Curly Fries his meds?
It's because of consent
Curly's main flaw was he was a naive person who also was a people pleaser
AUGGGHH-
Oh that too
YOURE KILLING ME
If he just put his foot down and saw his friend was not ok
Just like how I'm gonna kill Jimmy
Real
Jimmy is so bojack horseman to me. Do we see if. Guys. Guys.
we can speak for hours on this reason
just alone
4+
He was too naive and thought Jimmy would be able to get better, and also that he could resolve it with simple words and being friendly
I got cancelled for talkign about the themes of the game just before the big argument thats so unfair I love those
Personally, if you guys wanna know my view
Yea jimmy was 100% at least like
What dod gou do queen/king
I said r*pist two times..
And also, i wanna say i din’t see what happened to Curly as his “karma” (like jesus christ no)
I love curly hes so weird theows him out the window
yeah its funny you cant say that word given the subject matter of the game
Is the game not abt. Is the game not.
^??
Oh NO NO NO NO
its fine you just have to have a creative way of describing it
ok, worse? I dont know
Curly was caught in fire of Jimmy dooming everyone for his selfish needs and lack of responsibility
it wasnt even really a big argument so much as I just asked people to explain their views
but he couldve implimented different courses of action
I’ve seen people literally think that way
and they got mad abt it
dw i got timeouted for an hour
but i was brave enough to dm a mod
anyway, I think that mouthwashing is meant to put the mirror on you as a person in relation to how you view se**al assault
Me when someone talks about what happened in a game
because imo, criticizing the other characters before, or more than you are willing to delve into jimmy's flaws is very telling of how you view these types of things in real life
I hate people who make happy aus when anya has that fucking baby
I just took the l cause im at work anyways lmfao
I see and i agree
Omfg right
to judge anya for what she did is crazy. she was stuck ||oboard with her abuser for 5 months. she states openly in the game she is afraid of him||
