I've Never Seen Bae Cried So Hard On Stream..[HololiveEN | Bae & Fauna| What Remains of Edith Finch]

[@Kreschnav]

You know what the craziest part of this story is? The mom is divorcing the dad because she thinks it's the family curse that killed her baby, when it's actually her negligence that caused it.

[@JayTohab]

Oh YIKES I hadn't realized

[@MrShadic140]

I saw a theory once that said "the curse is not real, its just something that came from the grieving mind of Edith Finch". In essence, the family let the "curse" take hold of their life and mind, to the point that everyone on the family expected to die and just.. didn't care? Some deaths are just accidental but a few are pure negligence. Was it the curse thar built the child swing on a cliff? Or was it a stupid negligent decision?. Did the curse drown the baby or was it a mother's neglect. Even the poem of how they say "the baby was probably happy in his last moments, so you should be happy too" when referring to how "it wasn't her fault, it was the curse" just puts more weight on the idea that they are just numb to it because its all that darn curse and not their fault.

There's a video about this game that explains who is the "villain" of the game and what is the "curse" of the Finches that I really recommend (Not the Game Theory one LOL). One thing that the video talks about is how the curse of the family boils down to them being irresponsible and blaming fate instead of taking responsabilities. We dont know how the baby felt at its last moments but the dad takes comfort in believing that the baby wasn't concerned at his imminent fate.

But do you know how many times stuff like this, and worse, has happened throughout history? It hardens you man, just thinking about how evil, dark, sad, and messed up our history is. People used to literally dash infants against rocks (its in the bible, and other historical accounts corroborate it) when invading countries (not all the time obv, but still it happened at all) and burn infants to death in the white-hot hands of statues while the baby cried in agony. You can't be a historian or a student of history without either being psycho, or so hard that you could be mistaken for one. Being the second doesn't make you a monster, it just makes you broken and scarred.

One can say, it's _because_ our ideals are so high, history seems so unbearably wretched. We can either continually be depressed about something that by design, is an ever distant goal.

Know this is an older vid but to provide some extra perspective as an Aussie. With the pool / water sports culture in Aus, we have constant safety ads about not leaving your young children alone in and around pools and how quickly they could drown on the radio and TV here. Usually starting with a kid laughing and playing, the sound of them falling into the water and then some splashing and silence and a note at the end on how quickly someone can drown. So the scenario feels very close to home coming from an Aussie perspective.

Bae is so sweet. Hope we can all meet someone someday who can empathize like this ❤

This was such a fun yet sad game I don't think I'll find a game I liked as much as this game..I have more fun is some games but this will always be one of my favorite games

[@SOULxxdragon]

What Remains of Edith Finch is an emotional roller coaster, though it's really good that Fauna and Bae were there for each other, that game hits the feelies, super good they could lean on each other through that game though!

Calvin jumps off a swing that is positioned facing a cliff, Molly ate the poisonous mistletoe berries left hanging outside her bedroom, Gus gets crushed by debris while flying a kite in a storm and refusing to go inside, Sam gets punted off a cliff by a deer he shot and was trying to take a photo of, Walter takes a walk on some train tracks, and little Gregory is left alone in a bathtub. I'm pretty sure the Finch Family Curse is that they're a buncha FOKKIN IDIOTS.

[@TerraHv1]

Bae has such a big heart for a being of pure chaos.

I recommend this game to everyone, it's message is told in creative and beautiful ways, I also had moments where I got atleast teary eyed, which hardly if ever happens to me in works of fiction

[@kirika119]

This game made me cry hard and it helped put a lot of things into perspective

[@JayTohab]

[@righthandsun]

[@sankareasss6166]

Fauna:I'm surely they won't hit us with another one right? Right... You guys been hypnotized by the game the player is the one who controlling the scenario through their final destination without a choice 💀💀 dang it game.

[@doma1n346]

Bae & Fauna are awesome. Poor Bae.

[@BleedingDinoLove]

Can't blame them for the reactions, it caught me off guard when I played it too.
