The mimics episode is the point it truly blooms into an analog horror

[@notsae66]

This reminds me a lot of Darkest Dungeon's ending twist, especially given how much their "human" model looks like a matured Mimic. Makes me wonder if the twist isnt that Carnis is the origin of all life many eons ago and the world merely forgot thag all humans are successful Mimics.

[@omegadragons321]

i don't know what Darkest Dungeon is but i can agree that a matured Mimic does look like a sort of strange human being

[@octoberfluteplayer]

Hey MatPat! I haven’t heard much about this analog horror, but I saw 8BitRyan react to it and then took a look at it myself. I agree that this is one of the most underrated analog horrors out there. It gets pretty scary later on. There’s also an analog horror series known as Liminal Land. The KZbin channel had three videos when I last looked at it, and a website.

Something I noticed is on the map seen in the series that in Canada there is a big island in the Hudson bay that does not exist and in the videos about the different species the island is always bright red. Something tells me that this island has something to do with the origin of the crawl I also think it's possible that it is the island the prince found himself on.

In 1931 we discovered radio waves from space and in 72 pong was made. Could be part of the tech theory

[@sparkvee7226]

I am excited to see how the different parts of the princes body turned into Vita Carnis. Because so far, the Crawl seem to be something like his veins, and the Meat Snake is like his cells or intestines or something. I'm completely blanking on what the Trimmings did, but I'm sure that they definitely work with the theory so far.

[@matthewdhorwat3868]

[@aushina6360]

I feel like the concept of using a large, horrific creature to dispose of dead bodies during a war is in and of itself an interesting idea to explore in some sort of narrative. I can just imagine an experienced soldier taking a rookie over to where they keep the meat snake and telling them, "If you die, that's where you're going." Is it considered an honor to be eaten by the creature (an extension of dying in battle considering an honorable death) or does it haunt the soldiers dreams, knowing they're just feed for a monster?

[@nathanielmartins5930]

34:45 Octopi actually have peculiar nerve distribution, while most creatures have the majority of their nerves clustered in one place like a Brain or a Ganglium, the Octopi have the nerves spread out all over their bodies, such that the mass of nerves inside where the brain is supposed to be is less than in the rest of the body. It's about 2/5 of the nerves in the brain, the Rest goes all around. And as a result of that, their tentacles can function independent from instruction of a brain. Often times if one of the tentacles is severed from the main body, it will continue to scavenge for food and proceed to drag it toward a non-existent mouth hole.
