overcooked?

In a YouTube conversation, I saw someone reply: "You overcooked my good? man. Time to move on. Decent stab though.". What does overcook mean in this case?

If it's allowed I will put a link to the discussion here. The mentioned comment is right at the top, you can follow the discussion there. Note: I tried to link to the video page but it embedded the video player here instead. You will have to click on the YouTube icon on the lower right to get to the page.

You overcooked it - you cooked it too long.

(I didn't want to spend 6 minutes listening to the video, so I didn't).

No Clive, you don't have to watch the video at all. It's just about a discussion in the comments. Just click the YouTube button at the bottom right to get to the comments page. For my understanding, the discussion isn't about cooking. I've attached the discussion below but it's easier to read on the YouTube page.

Sorry, I can't follow all that. I don't know who is responding to whom.
All I can tell you is that it is not a standard idiom.
