My only question is why everyone is so focused on Sneed. It's not even Sneed's fault. Sneed didn't even own the building at the time. Chuck is the problem here. So why is everyone so completely focused on Sneed.

In the spirit of one trip I am watching this in one go.

it's amazing that someone can be so bad at this game and somehow still reach the end. really entertaining playthrough.

I love how the horror and tension of the gamd suddenly spikes the moment they take BB away from you. Really shows just how important his is to you because the late game would be impossible without him.

You know, watching this, I’m struck by the idea of a much more fun game about mail delivery, focused on inventory management and route planning. You have a van and some automation, but it can’t do certain things, like dirt roads, so you have to get out and back in a timely manner in rural areas. Maybe a sense of humor too, like an auto-sort button on the van with a sticky note that says “never use this” because you basically have to unload and reload the entire van at every stop if you do.

"The only reason this in here is for the pun" Nah I think it's also in there for another unsubtle metaphor about social connections, with Sam being very against social interactions at the start the fact that the thing that connects him to other people is a literal handcuff is pretty on the nose I think.

I don't think there's a wrong way to play a game, but this playthrough is really testing my conviction in that idea. When you actively and very much intentionally fight against the most incredibly obvious mechanics of a game for the memes and THEN deem it bad because of that, you're not playing in good faith.

You'll understand this game more if you've ever worked in customer service, especially some form of delivery. Much of the game is a surrealistic commentary on the insatiable needs/wants of consumers and the underlying scaffolding that caters to those from an enforced personal perspective.
