    <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8doP22gbhs&amp;t=490">8:10</a> &nbsp;It should be noted that Jesse IS a low level employee.<br>She is the Janitor&apos;s Assistant.

    I&apos;m glad so many people are clicking with CONTROL.<br>It is an AMAZING game, a work of art.

    One thing that really reinforces that Jesse is the right person for the job is post-credits. You go back to the people in each department, and ask them their thoughts on Jesse being director, and they all say some form of &quot;I&apos;m so glad you&apos;re director because every life matters to you.&quot;

    The inverted pyramid of The Board makes visual sense now <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8doP22gbhs&amp;t=435">7:15</a>, Really good video, loved it!🎉

    just started my 3rd replay to prep for resonant, this is SUCH a well done video. my favorite aspect of this game is the push and pull between the idea of trying to categorize and often literally control the supernatural, and the reality of the chaotic nature of the supernatural in this world :) its such a good gaaaaaame

    Bro just gave me the best career advice disguised as a Control video essay.

    Brilliant insight here I think. Even if imposter phenomenon wasn&apos;t at the top of the minds of people at Remedy, it certainly sits at the core of the story <br><br>The misdirection at the start from janitor to director, but then realising throughout you really are both, was so good too

    <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8doP22gbhs&amp;t=690">11:30</a> <br>I want to clarify, Altered Items are not inherently dangerous. As Emily put it “they are more volatile” meaning they are more likely to be dangerously and the ones that are dangerous are much more serious in comparison. But there are some items like The Fridge (before the Former fucks with it) and the Train Car which do not have dangerous effects. One is simply indestructible and the other replays a memory of an accident to those who walk inside it<br><br>Also to also explain the Hiss. Your analysis of the self doubt parallel is amazing. But we do have an actual definition for it. It’s a resonance based virus. A virus that propagates via sound and wavelengths

    The visual comparison with the Board and the inverted pyramid was really well done. This is such a great take on such a gorgeous game.

    Oooooohhh, my heart soared when you dropped &quot;Kinesthetic Learning.&quot; &nbsp;Shame workplaces (or, at least, mine to date) have yet to grasp its full, or even partial, potential. &nbsp;Fantastic video!

    Remedy will definitely go down as one of the greatest to ever do it

YouTube, with the door locked.

Aegis plays a clean stream instead of YouTube's player, so pre-roll ads, trackers, and fingerprinting never ride along. Drop Shields any time if you want the official player back.
