"The Serious Room" is a reference to an Easter egg in the original game where it would take you there if you tried to turn cheats on through the console. You would be stuck there and the Narrator would berate you for literal hours until you reset

More of a book writer hell. Books are follow more linear path due to character being someone who would follow that path by describing it in the book. But in the game character(aka player) is free to do whatewer he wants. That makes no sense since described character wouldn't do that. That what makes narrator get's angry: his description of character fades away once character choices are out of character.

The first ending has always struck a nerve with me. You try and free yourself from a machine that tells you what to do and how to feel, but you are still blindly following a narrator that does the same thing. Very clever Stanley parable, very clever.

[@ZhongliArchonofSwag]

By fighting the narrative in narrative driven games, and not enjoying the genre for what it is, and instead trying to seek freedom, the only thing you’ll do is make the experience harder on yourself and the game designer. Only by accepting and enjoying the narrative for what it is can you enjoy the genre.

[@MaksKCS]

Determinism is the main theme of the game after all. And, because it's a parable, there must be someone to tell it. Consequently, everything in the story is predetermined. The only difference is that the narrator's made-up character 'Stanley' is somehow replaced by a real person which gives them free choice. But because every 'ending' is still predetermined it's debatable whether you have free choice at all. At the end of the day, you're still being puppeteered by the narrator even when you disobey him.

The funniest part is that to get the "happy" ending, you have to do exactly what the narrator tells you. Aka, to be free of the mind controll, you have to let the narrator controll your actions.

[@spookyw_]

Stanely is happy following instructions though, his job is literally just following commands on a screen and pressing buttons and that's what makes him happy. In a more meta sense the player is also following instructions on a screen and pressing buttons but arguably finds the more interesting and fun endings by disobeying the narrator, a direct contradiction to what Stanley himself enjoys. Maybe the ultimate message of the game is that one may feel in control and 'happy' when following the commands of others (like Mariella and Stanley do) but true happiness and freedom can be found when taking ones own path and making independent decisions.

Had Jack not been skipping through so quickly, the narrator would have actually said as much himself at one point.

It's a far more powerful and unsettling moment having listened to everything he had to say, rather than the "skip button go brrr" approach many are likely to take.

We can get 300 positive reviews, but are hit hardest by 1 negative one. & even when we leave said reviews, it's much easier to go into detail about the flaws, even if they're minor, but much harder to give major focus & detail to the good parts. "This one part was a bit awkward because blah blah blah, many many sentences... But everything else was great!" & we can create something amazing, enjoyable for many...

I remember being in 2013 and making my first youtube account just so i could subscribe to you Jack. it's been such a journey watching you go from your cabin to where you are now. all the games memories and friends have made such a difference not just in your viewers lives but clearly yours too. you were my escape when i was a kid back in those earlier years and watching you and the channel grow as i've gotten older too has kept me from turning into a sour adult. you've really instilled humor and humility into a whole generation. thank you for all these years.

The ending hit deep… I am now the age that Sean was when he posted the first Stanley Parable! It’s been incredible to watch not only your growth but mine as well! Never too old to watch and you’ve played such a huge part in my personality and mental health! You rock! :)

[@thumbsup8985]

I'm not sure how it's taken my so many years to realize. The "correct" ending of the game celebrates Stanley finally exercising his free will and independence. In the game itself, the whole time you're playing the narrator is actively stifling *your* free will & independence. That's why it's a parable!

[@yato3335]

I think this game has no "good" endings. All of them were pre-written by the developers, therefore, Stanley has only so much to choose from. At the end, he never breaks free in this game and always returns to the beginning. "The end is never the end is never the end..."

[@RAAAUGHGUAGHAHA]

KZbin has changed. It's no longer about fun or originality. It's an endless series of advertisements, shoved in your face by celebrities and robots. KZbin--and it's consumption of watchtime--has become a well-oiled machine. KZbin has changed. Content control, monetization control, emotion control, advertisement control…everything is monitored and kept under control. KZbin...has changed. The age of good content has become the age of monetization, all in the name of making ludicrous amounts of money, and he who controls the ad revenue, controls history. KZbin…has changed.

I love Kevan Brighting, the voice actor for the narrator in the Stanley Parable. He voice acted for one of the videos I made that was a parody of the Stanley Parable (it was an announcement video for an anime fandub that my teenage brain didn't consider the questionable copyright infringement of, so it's unlisted now). The fact, though, that he was willing to help a small teen KZbinr make a small parody video based on the game he voice acted for is super wholesome. Super kind and professional, too!

There are even bullying victims in schools that have been told stuff like that... America is hell...

I finally got the chance to play Ultra Deluxe myself, so I no longer felt the need to avoid watching playthroughs that would spoil new content, so I’m here to watch this now, though it’s been months. I listened to all of his ramblings until they looped before pressing the skip button, and maybe it’s just because it’s so similar to my own anxieties in life, but I cried by the end of that part. Anyhow, it’s lovely to see a return to the Stanley Parable! I fell in love with the game so much that I sought out as many videos as possible to see people’s reactions, and yours was one I had watched. So I’ve been here, not regularly always, but often and for a long while, since then. You’ve grown so much, truly, and it’s beautiful to see. Thank you for being so amazing. I hope to see you keep changing for the better as time moves on. Have a lovely day!
