Good SoyBoyMemories (Nintendo SOY Edition)

"Good SoyBoyMemories (Nintendo SOY Edition)" is the second video in the MillenniaThinker series, following "Coomer after November...".

## Plot

The video opens to a shot of a building with a stand outside. Inside the building, we see a Soyboy Wojak with "Eugene" written on his nametag behind the counter, wearing a Star Wars shirt under a green apron. A Chad Thundercock approaches the counter and places a sealed condom on it for purchase. Eugene rings up the purchase. The shot changes to a backseat POV of Eugene driving his car home after work. The viewer then sees the lights be turned on in Eugene's home, as a sofa is shown with clothes and empty pizza boxes around it. A Nintendo Switch is shown resting on a TV stand with a figurine of an anime girl next to it. Eugene sits on the sofa with the Switch controller, and his frown changes to a "pog" expression as he begins to play a Mario game. The viewer then sees a flashback to a younger Eugene (no facial, chest, or arm hair on him, and with a controller to an NES in his hands) sitting on a sofa, with a identical "pog" expression on his face. Eugene's mother brings him sodas and candy and tells him to "be a good boy and just sit here and play video games" while she goes "meet someone". Eugene remains on the couch with his "pog" face, playing as a clock behind him shows hours passing, and the indoor light turning dark. The flashback shifts to present day, with little differences in the scene. Zooming in on adult Eugene's face, a single tear is shown falling from his eye.

## Analysis

The video description states that the video is about "the phenomenon of adult men who run away into video games for children looking for good memories of their carefree childhood". Certainly, this description is valid. Eugene went to his grocery-store-wage job, and the stark social difference between him and Chad is shown as Eugene has to ring up the same condom that Chad is purchasing for later use. Eugene's home does nothing to improve the impression the viewer gets of him as an individual, and it worsens as a Nintendo Switch with a anime figurine next to it is shown on his TV stand. Eugene might or might not know the image he gives off. Regardless, his frown changes to a "pog" expression as he begins to play. Eugene could certainly be reminiscing of the days where all he had to worry about was his games and trying to experience that again, but it could also be seen as him distracting himself from not-so-ideal characteristics of his life.

Another take on this video's message (posted on the comment section of the video by user Jason Steele and well recieved by other users) is that Eugene playing video games in the present day is him pacifying himself in the same way his mother did when he was a child. Since Eugene's mother was not there for him when he was a child because she was out ~~fucking~~ meeting other people, this implies Eugene's father was absent from the family and therefore absent from Eugene's childhood, leaving Eugene with nothing but video games. This fault in parenting can be seen as the cause for the lacking individual that Eugene is in the present day. Eugene did not have the parenting needed to encourage him to be something more in life, so he is reduced to the person he is today, with the need for video games in his life.

## Trivia

* The building in the beginning has "Lokal do wynajęcia" (Polish for "premises for rent") printed on the windows, with a "Livio" sign on the door (Livio being the name of a chain of convenience stores in Poland, similar to Target retailers in North America).
* name of anime girl doll?
* Eugene's age range can be determined from the flashback scene where he holds an NES controller. The NES initally released in 1983 in Japan, but was followed by international releases in the following years. For North America, the NES released in 1986. So, as of 2021, Eugene is at least 35 years old, but not much more than that, assuming a gradeschool age Eugene obtained the NES upon release.
