This episode completely illustrates why i always felt grossed out by people using nostalgia as an excuse to exert themselves or deny pain. We can never move on by thinking and living simpler times, it may hurt but we have to confront our pains and face the reasons we lay around and do nothing all day. For me it was being denied that i was in pain, being abused and forced to stay in contact with my abuser for the majority of my life, it hurt too much so i just sat down and played games all day, but eventually i broke my cycle and confronted the abuse, cut off those who hurt me, and moved on. I am now literally making rockets.

Glad you moved on, but I believe we should try not to cast judgment on one another. I had a rough life too, and it is very easy for me to move on into something new and recreate myself. My brother is a completely different person that lived through a lot of the same things I did, just through a different lens...he isn't able to do that(rn anyway), so he is similar to the guys in the video. I don't judge him because I know what he's been through, I do push him to be the star I know he can be though. It's not always as simple as "pulling yourself up by your bootstraps ". Sometimes it's more complicated. I see it as life's not a sprint, for most it's a marathon. Some people just take time to realize their actual potential, ya know?!

Yep, that’s good that it makes that distinction as you should be able to collect what you like, but not use it as a means of escape from the pain.

[@phaolo6]

Well, the last comment by Melvin was quite an insulting summary of what MC thinks of them. Btw the feeling of escapism can happen also with other addictions in general.

[@Oni_Manga_Land]

Gotta hand it to the team. Definitely came from a personal place.

[@Stephanie-mv9iy]

Melvin is not criticising collecting items that remind you of good times. It's criticising BURYING yourself in nostalgia, to DISTRACT yourself from your current infirmities. That's what he means by becoming stagnant. The fact you couldn't see that is telling.

[@Inaktha]

​@@phaolo6 Literally no. He was talking about the 4 specific people in the room who were willing to kill themselves to escape every problem and pain. There were no attacks at genuine collectors. That's just you seeing a character talk about the current scene and then just making up your own stuff

[@roboslicer]

Tbh I think I needed this. I never saw this video till now but I really needed to see this. 3 years ago I lost my only brother and I dove head first into the nostalgia of the 90s. It made me feel at peace, thinking of the memories of when we were kids and the feelings that came with it. It got so bad I was spending majority of my funds to this addiction and only putting money away for bills. This was a wake up call for me. I need to look forward, I need to stop looking back

[@BlackKara]

Honestly, loss never really stops hurting. But, we can still get better. It's ok to hurt when it comes. It's ok to feel empty when you miss who is gone. But only by feeling the pain do we let that lots become a part of ourselves. And that's something that we can carry in honor of those who left before us. We loved them. We still do. It hurts to love them, but that's ok.

[@EDBoywonder1718]

Damn, this had a real good message. Fantasy is fun casually but you should never hide from reality with it. Life is hard ships but it’s worth living.

[@Mind_Crimes]

Its a delusion to whitewash your childhood memories for only the escape of insular, fleeting pleasures. Chasing such a fantasy isn't even a beautiful one removed from all the grey & freakishness that gives substance to life. Even Melvin's mom was convulsing when she handed him his pancakes. What was going on before she got there? Never let your personality become product.

God u can't go anywhere without hearing ppl constantly blabber about mental health. I always find it weird that when the left gets OBSESSED with something they ruin it. Mental health is the new one. And now everyone is mentally ill, more than ever before and big pharma gets rich. It's gone up by nearly A THOUSAND PERCENT in 4 years. None in third world countries tho. Or what about racism. Now there's more racism than the 40s. The black community, their neighborhoods were burned down. The border, now it's broken. LGBTQ, now it's blown up and kids r drug in. Women's rights, now they r forced to have men in their spaces even prison cells. Locked up with male sex offenders that force themselves on them. Ukraine, 150 THOUSAND gone. I mean it goes on and on. Kids in cages? Fast forward 3 years, and u have HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of kids trafficked and locked up. Blows my mind. Don't even get me started on policies...

[@UncleSalad]

Normally in shorts like this, there's some kind of horror twist ending where nobody wins, but this is a breath of fresh air. There's always a wholesome ending with a valuable lesson for Melvin, no matter how fucked up the world around him is.

I kinda saw that the crab is Melvin getting out of his shell while the fish being trapped in a small tank symbolize the collectors Melvin giving them a new home kinda symbolizes how he did kill them but if he didn’t he never woulda set they’re souls free n they would have been living in pain trapped inside the computer just like the fish are trapped inside a tank

[@twotamatos]

Like the hermit crab stops attacking Melvin when he was holding up the game that his mom got mad at him for playing leisure suit Larry which I think does symbolize him getting out of his shell but when he buys all the games the store manager turns into the crab symbolizing he’s going back into the shell

[@anzaveris]

Nostalgia eventually betrays you. You can only spend so long on killing the noise in your head instead of sitting with the feelings and thoughts. Before you realize, the things you used to enjoy don't feel as good anymore. The noise comes back because while you were hiding from it, it only grew worse. You look at yourself in the mirror with disgust but can't stop neglecting your mental health because you've always been like this, and it is easier to be miserable than it is to make a change.

This meant something to me. If you keep running away from all of your problems, and ignoring pain, you never grow, and you never overcome your fears. You become addicted to the nostalgia, and it negatively affects your mental health. And when a pet dies, it’s like your family member dying all over again. Except you blame yourself, and the pet that was a placeholder for your loved one is also gone, just like your loved one. Nice job Papa Meat.

There is an enormous parallel between Melvin and the elderly, they accepted that even though their son is no longer here, they remember him for what was in his life and continue on their path, while Melvin is horrified by the thought of the death of his pet. and temporarily blocks it.

This is such a sensitive subject done right. The moment I knew their motive everything clicked. Living a life of pure imagination and bliss, staying in your realm of wonders to avoid the harsh reality of truth is such a hard thing to discuss. Especially moving on from the pain. Choosing to null the pain instead of facing it head on. Yet you did it, you LEGEND.

[@GeekExtremist]

This hit way too close to home for me. This was (somewhat still is?) me for a LONG time. I grew up poor and disabled, had 70 surgeries by the time I was 25 (38 now and at like 84), and while I always liked nostalgia, it didn't hit the breaking point until I became disabled at like 28 and couldn't leave my house for very long for like 10 years. I was stuck in our "gameroom", which just turned into my sanctuary, so I filled it with things that reminded me of the past or things that I felt made me happy. But it got to the point where sections of the room were blocked off due to so much crap and my walls were all completely covered with fan art or large comic pictures. At the end of last year, we moved to another state so I could get away from the extreme heat of the south and to go somewhere where marijuana was legal (I got to the point where I was abusing my pain meds because they barely worked due to my body being on medications my entire life.) It's been like a completely different life here. The marijuana takes away most of my pain most days, and I can't actually go outside again to the point my wife and I been going on hiking trails or to the waterfront a couple times a week. I still have really rough mornings, and some days where I can't get off the couch, but I've gotten another chance at life. I still have my "man cave", but it's much more organized and only a fraction of what I did have up. The rest of my collection is in storage and I've been slowly selling it off. As someone else said, sometimes life is just hard and breaks you to the point where you want to escape into a world of your own making.

[@zacharybenard1076]

@GeekExtremist I’m glad you found peace man… I struggle with hoarding too. I have been through a lot of traumatic loss. My grandparents are gone (even tho that’s expected they were like a second set of parents), my mom unexpectedly died when I was 15, my older brother was hit & killed by a train… I hoard shit to fulfill that gaping spiritual wound in my heart. I struggle to throw away something as silly as a tang/iced tea pitcher my mom had when it broke… when it’s just another piece of plastic polluting this world. I don’t need it. I have memories, her writings, & paintings… but I have trouble discerning what to throw out & keep when the line is greyer (old mail to my mom from 2003, grocery lists she wrote, etc)… I’m in the process of purging my room because it got too cluttered, & despite making some significant progress I have an extremely hard time throwing some stuff out or donating it. 😔 ik a lot of people may look at people like you & I as unkept & messy, but I just want you to know that I understand your struggle bro… not with your physical disabilities but your hoarding issues I understand how toxic it can be & how much of a big step it was for you to do what you did… as the professor dude Jordan Peterson (if you dunno him you should look him up) said; “your room reflects your mind”… & he’s absolutely 💯 on that. & also, congrats on getting away from opioids too… I was self medicating with fentanyl & methamphetamine for a while, & I made the step to get medical help & get on suboxone & prescription amphetamines like adderall/vyvanse… I’d smoke weed too but unfortunately I’m on supervised release with the Feds. Don’t listen to anyone who tells you you’re not really in recovery if you use cannabis. Addiction is kinda misunderstood even in AA/NA… we use because we are medicating ourselves, & you switched to a safer & non addictive alternative instead of going down the road of opioid use… society & the government heavily discriminate against opioid users & because of that it’s easy to get into a shit ton of legal issues & put yourself in danger by using unregulated substances laced with unknown amounts of fentanyl, xylazine, or toxic cutting agents. my friend almost died once because her dope was laced with arsenic & she smoked it. I wish you the best life bro don’t ever doubt yourself✌🏻💯😁‼️

[@silentriddles2109]

Hey meat canyon, i dont know if youre ever gonna read this comment but thanks for making this animation along with your team. It really gave me perspective about holding on to joyful things I lost and the idea of letting go feeling more of an appreciation rather than a desperate attempt to never feel hurt again. I find it so invigorating how you perfectly visualise the concept of memories having power to trap you or push you forward in life. Whenever the scenary changes grey for Melvin, it signifies memories. You can be haunted by it, use coping mechanisms to shut the pain out and be obsessed with shutting pain out. Or, you can simply appeciate that theres still good memories in those darkest moments that makes you stronger to face reality in the present. Its not an easy thing to do if someone in the present is stuck with little to no control over negative events in their life. But to escape is to rejuvenate so you can come back to face reality stronger, however, if youre not careful, it can trap you forever. Beautifully done, meat canyon. Beautifully done.

"A big majority of us."

WhO Is uS?" which includes you, also the term "us" still doesn't go to your thick skull, as you are stubborn as a mule that us means "used by a speaker to refer to himself or herself and one or more other people as the object of a verb or preposition." The commenter is talking about the people that own anime figures and buy them to cope for their lives and past trauma. This can even be related to people buying only fans pictures to cope. To be fair her use of us is kind of confusing and should have been more clear when addressing the people they were talking about but it is simple on what this person is talking about. To add saying "us" makes you feel kind of guilty and questioning about you acting the same on impulse buying for trauma. I'll give the benefit of doubt you don't. P.S.If you don't want to read all that it is just me saying "Nah I'd win, you failed rapscallion. Don't just buy things to cope."
