Markiplier going strategist

I was watching, then listening to Markiplier's Series of Videos on The Joy of Creation:

First Video

Second Video

When I started the second video, right from the get-go I noticed that Markiplier had a different tone and attitude towards the game.

While the first video had him getting repeatedly confused and startled, the second video is very different.

It seems to me that he goes into this second session with a strategist mindset. The actions he undertakes are now informed by his growing understanding of the game's mechanic.

At the start of the second video, he very quickly mentions adversary NPC that he can handle.

At one point, he uses words like «resource management» and «sound queues», talking about the core mechanic of the game of managing electricity fuses to keep the lights on and the noises made by different NPCs and items that he needs to find.

It hit me because I don't handle horror/scary games well. When I see Mark play like this I'm not as overwhelmed by what's happening, and I think that's one of the reasons I keep watching his videos. I get to enjoy those games via< proxy.
