@@dravencold I love that. Feels like everyone hates on the younger generation who are still figuring it out. But really we’re all ignorant and unaware of some things, we each only see a part of the puzzle. What’s important is humility, recognizing all that you don’t know and moving ahead regardless.

@@travisscott3050 smh, ahhh, the difficulty of these style of video. Glad you enjoyed regardless.

@@urbansniperr9158 really honored to hear that, and glad you enjoyed or it reached you.

@@guksungan1267 hmmm 🤔 yeah facts, interesting perspective.

@@a.a.o.t-1213 hahaha, well, glad you liked it. Hope you like what’s more to come!

Facts, it’s so true man. More people need to realize their own mortality.

@@themagnus2919 yeah… that’s fair, feels like the world is constantly asking that question. But like some kind of test in school there isn’t some clear cut “correct” answer.

I’ve been winging it since 17 man, went from working at Walmart to welding with no schooling or anything. Take risks and jump on opportunities is the only thing I can tell you. So many missed opportunities I can think of that would’ve changed my life and I’m only 23. There’s no answer to life because no two people live the same life. There’s homeless people happier than the lavish.

@ so true, you’re totally right man

@@Bobubiklyjoe Yeah great point. Glad you enjoy the videos. Fs join the discord and I’d be down to play zombies sometime.

Thanks man, glad you can relate. Totally feel that way. No holidays hit the same anymore, but I think it’s about the transition of finding new ways to enjoy and experience the holidays. I can’t eat candy due to certain dietary concerns, so Halloween is a bust, but next year I’d like to try to do something special for the trick or treaters.

Facts 😔

@@danielowens9934 yeah, that’s actually really solid advice. Everyone needs hobbies. All of the most unhappy people I know are the ones with nothing they enjoy doing on the side.

@ keep your head up bro

@@SuperBloopie No fr, back in the day most games were probably indie, the standards didn’t require a massive team to make a good game. Nowadays it’s like it requires millions of dollars, a massive corporation behind it, and the soul is gone because it’s run like a business now.

@@snapper8531 dude it’s so true. In my darkest moments, the worst parts of my life. I’ve found there were still good days, bright spots. And it was always with people. Maybe I had a friend hit me up at 2 am to hang out, maybe I just had a good chat with someone at the fuel pump while I waited for my car to fill up. When you are really struggling the tiniest little bits of human interaction and kindness can make such a massive impact. It really fills you with hope for the future, in your own life, and our species at large. Like there’s a lot of awful people out there, but I have a lot of faith in the average person. I genuinely think all anyone wants is what’s best for everyone. It’s just these outliers that distort our perception of what people are really like, and get us to feel nihilistic at times. We’re a social species, all that really matters at the end of the day is memories made with people we love. Such a valuable perspective, thanks for sharing.

@@CarsonKing2002 wow dude, I can relate to that so much. Not in the specifics but I’ve felt those exact emotions you are describing. I was literally 15, going on 16 when I got health issues. I had to drop out of high school, i felt so terrible it was hard to sleep and I practically became nocturnal, no social life, nothing worth the suffering I went through. I found myself just angry at first, upset that I alone had to suffer like that, and at such a young age. I kind of just pitied myself for the longest time, I felt like I didn’t deserve to suffer with what I was going through, and that somehow I had been treated unfairly. With enough time I realized that pitying myself did no good, that the world genuinely didn’t care, and nothing was fair. And all I could do was all I could do. So I decided to push ahead full force, try out different diets, drop all of my addictions (including weed at the time,) and live stoically. I’m not joking or exaggerating or being unserious at all when I say I’ve resorted to a strict Carnivore diet. For six months all I’ve eaten is unseasoned ground beef, steaks, and water. THATS IT. And guess what, surprisingly, it’s helped. I’ve tried many diets and none of them made much of a difference, but I knew I had to keep my head up and hold onto faith and keep just doing whatever I could. And now I think I’ve found some things that work, I’ve found myself in a better place. I’ve had to sacrifice a lot of what everyone else takes for granted to get here, but it’s worth it to feel healthy. Around the holidays, like thanksgiving and Christmas it’s felt hard. Like I’m an outlier while everyone eats cake and food, I eat my unseasoned steak (which is still pretty gas.) But what I’ve had to realize is that, while letting go of all pleasures and indulgences in some ways has made my life feel purposeless. Now there are no distractions, all that matters is what I’m really called to and care about on a deeper level than bodily satisfaction, and that’s helping people. With this channel, with my book, with anything and everything I can do. Try and find what that is for you, if you can, I hope everyone can find their own burning bush, their reason to be alive and fight this battle to the end. I hope everyone has a dream they hold close that makes this life worth living to its fullest. Best of luck with your healing journey, and your battles with the physical body 🙏.

@@danielmcnicholl5488 wow, that’s a really powerful perspective. It’s so true, we really only get so much out of our time on this rock. That play through analogy is perfect. When you think about it like that, if you were playing a game and knew you would only get to play it this specific way 1 single time, you would play it totally differently with that mindset. Perhaps we should all treat life that way.

( on a less serious note Btw for games, you don’t have to watch the videos hahaha stay present in the moment if you have the pleasure of playing with friends play the game to enjoy it you don’t always have to chance 100% completion or every Easter egg, do what they were intended for and just have fun in the moment with people you care about)

@ so true man, you’re so right. I enjoy zombies less when I’m pushing myself to like complete the BO3 super Easter egg or something.

@PeoplecallmeLucifer wow, family traditions like that are so powerful and awesome. That’s really how you keep the magic alive.

Yeah man, that’s valid. I think that joy and happiness is still possible as an adult, it’s just different, it comes in different ways and doesn’t feel the same. I think you kinda have to work for the right perspective and for joy as an adult, whereas children just have it innately within them. What’s made my life meaningful was perusing the specific things I care about with everything I have. That’s all that matters to me anymore. I really want to be an author, write books, help people. I think even just being in the process of getting there makes me happy. Maybe as a kid I was happy was just being stuck in place, but as an adult I only feel happy if I’m making forward progress. Idk, it’s a weird conundrum, maybe something I need to work at and find a way to solve.

It’s true, I think as a kid we naturally see the light and the bright parts of reality. But as we get older we tend to just see things more as they are. I think it takes practice to try and give yourself joy and positivity and fight for it. But I do believe it’s possible, and at times in my life I’ve proven to myself that there are things so immensely fulfilling they make me happy to be alive. It’s just hard when you feel like you are caught in the riptides, like your emotions are turbulent and changing and seemingly out of your control at times. I think what I need is to just focus less on the darkness, and the negativity in the world. I know it isn’t good for me but I spend so much time looking into global politics, scary and awful parts of this reality, like life in North Korea, wars in the Middle East, the absolute worst aspects of humanity. It isn’t fair though to focus so much on the bad, because you are right that there’s so much good too. Thank you immensely for your comment.

Wow, this is an incredible comment, you are actually completely right. It’s not as if we stop making nostalgic memories at a certain point. I have nostalgia for things just a year ago. So in a way why not try to make the present, this period of your life now, something you look back at with nostalgia. That’s super interesting man, thanks for sharing your perspective.

I can kind of agree with you, in terms of overall quality BO2 is unbeatable. Although in terms of just zombies I think BO3 did it best.

Appreciate the thoughtful words. And you’re so right. Staying open to new experiences and finding joy in little things can really shift your perspective. Thanks for sharing this.

@@chiccaraki Totally agree, It’s crazy how hard it can be to open up, but it really does help so much. Being vulnerable takes a lot of strength, but it’s worth it to have people you can depend on.

@@RawLensGaming It's a skill one can practice. Also determines on whom one can rely.

@@TheTwizProject Wow, this comment really hit home thank you so much for taking the time to share this. You’ve captured something so real about nostalgia and that feeling of longing for the magic we felt when things were new and exciting. But you’re right, growth comes from learning to find joy in new moments and not just waiting around for something external to spark it again. Your perspective on evolving and seeking out fresh experiences, even in places we might not expect, is honestly so inspiring. It’s a reminder that there’s still so much out there waiting to surprise us if we stay open to it. I really appreciate you being so open and thoughtful here it means a lot, and I’m sure others reading this will feel it too. Thanks again, seriously.

@@ario9907 thank you for sharing your perspective 🙏

Same exact situation, funny enough. I’ll still jump on to play a round of zeds from time to time; but the world has moved on, and so have I. Life is genuinely something beautiful, and if you can perceive the little things- the interactions between everyday people, you get the same glee. Making someone else’s day begins to make your day. Best wishes to this creator.

@@EdwardGiannone yeah man, it takes a lot of humility to come to that conclusion at all, nonetheless act on it. I’m glad you’ve realized that, it’s something some people never do, and I struggled to for a while. Also glad you enjoy the music, I got a subscription to this website for royalty free music. Also also glad that you enjoy cod zombies gameplay. I get scared I’ll isolate some of my audience by constantly switching games but I genuinely would just rather play what I’m most passionate about at any given moment.

@@RawLensGaming thanks dude. It's kinda ironic that I'm now in a lot of physical pain (I wasn't when I was writing the og comment) because you mentioned in this video that you struggle with an auto immune condition. I hope things are going to get better for you health wise (and for me as well xD) And the cod gameplay is really awesome, I love the variety of games on your channel. But yeah, it's kinda tough for me writing a comment right now, because your physical wellbeing impacts your mental wellbeing and vice versa. Do you have any tips how to deal with physical pain mentally, of course if it is not a too personal topic for you

@ that’s a tough one. I think I found that just trying to keep as distracted as possible made a big difference. But more than that learning to just accept it for what it was and not pity myself, or not cast judgement on it. Like when I broke my wrists, or got my wisdom teeth removed, or certain hospital visits. All of the most painful things I had experienced I noticed the less mental energy I gave to them the less they seemed to affect me. Sure the pain is still there just as much. But when you obsessively focus on what you are feeling it is amplified. I found that lots of warm baths, and alone time, and nostalgic shows and games helped me somewhat. Just go easy on yourself, give yourself some time where you have no expectations, and you are focused on nothing but healing, or just pushing forward one step at a time, as best you can. Idk if any of this is a consolation for how you’re feeling but I am wishing you the best and hope in some small way I can help.

@@RawLensGaming thank you so much! The advice makes so much sense, I was already distracting myself from the pain and trying to relax. The pain I have right now will probably go in a couple of days, but still this advice is super helpful, so thanks again! :)

@@CristianLopez-sh8vx happy to hear that 🙏.

Hahaha, no I totally feel that I feel like I can only handle a couple of real, deep friendships. I'm talking more along the lines of like casual friends, school friends, or work friends, type of thing.

facts

@@trademark4537 Wow, thank you for sharing this. It’s honestly so reassuring to hear that these feelings are normal and that things can change with time and effort. I really appreciate your perspective on creating joy as an adult, it’s something I’ve been trying to figure out myself. Your story gives me a lot of hope. Wishing you all the best, and thanks again for such a thoughtful reply.

@@RawLensGaming find someone trusted to talk to, pls dont go to therapy because your sense of noticing that things are off about the world are normal and good. therapy will only be writing it down as depression or other symptons and youll be prescribed drugs to help these (in your case non existing problems). and take your time off from work or school for a few days from time to time to reflect on what makes you happy or not and where you want to be life.

@kenseids3456 I don't know what kind of therapy you've been too but if you go to a psychologist you cannot be prescribed drugs

Haha could be, love me some zombies.

@ i dreamt today of playing a BO zombie map!! It wasn’t a real map its made up in the dream so i was solving the map and it had a machine that pushed me to round 1,500!! I started looking for a way to to get back to normal rounds but it seemed like i was able to kill zombies. There are more stuff but thats a brief

@@knightofglory9718 wow, crazy story, interesting.

@@nbalongboi9738 fr, I don’t like the new cod games, can’t explain it but black ops 6 just feels way too fast, and soulless.

@@Rayhanstime hahahaha I’m glad you had that experience too.

@ITMenterprises Hey, I just wanted to say I really felt every word you wrote. It’s exhausting when you keep trying your best and life still feels like it’s fighting you at every step. Reality can be harsh, and it’s okay to feel the way you do your feelings are valid. Sometimes the little things, like hobbies or fleeting moments of peace, are all we have to hold onto, and that’s okay too. I hope you find some light, even if it’s just one small thing at a time. You deserve peace and happiness, even if the path there feels unclear right now. Take care, and know you’re not alone.

@ITMenterprises As for what you said at the end there. That’s such a tough question, and I don’t think there’s one perfect answer. But sometimes, when you’ve tried your best and things still don’t work out, the next step might be to pause, breathe, and let yourself rest. It’s okay to step back and just exist for a while without pushing so hard. Small steps, tiny wins, or even just finding one thing each day that brings a moment of peace can slowly build into something more. And sometimes, reaching out to someone you trust whether it’s a friend, family member, or even a professional can lighten the weight a little. You’re not alone in this, and your effort matters more than you know.

Good advice

I totally feel that tbh

@@theminecraftbro661 Hahhaha love that

@@Racers03 yeah it’s true, I have totally felt the same way. And a lot of people will take advantage and hurt you if you are vulnerable. It’s a hard balance.

I get that people see other people as a way to get opportunities but I just don't feel comfortable with that. When I make friends it's not because I see them as a potential stepping stone but I see them as a person and I enjoy their company. I get though the whole opportunities thing but I haven't gotten any job because I knew a friend. If I did get a job that way it was because I had worked with them. And that's only been managers. But getting into the job itself, it has always been because of my own initiative and my ability to pass that interview and my own merit. Though I'm told constantly I'm going to have to learn how to ask people for jobs that I'm friends with. Not sure how I'm going to do that but I guess some day I will.

@ don’t make friends BECAUSE of those opportunities. But I guess the point I was trying to make was more so just that we’re a social species and the more people you know, the more apart you are of the world and the greater a social framework you have the further you can get in life in some ways. I think even just making the effort to be more social, getting out of your comfort zone and meeting new people, can really enhance quality of life.

@@RawLensGaming I guess so. I won't stop making friends though. I like having friends to hang out with and enjoy the present moment with.

@@Goddessღ good, friends are great!

@@lumi55315 yeah, so true, awesome comment. I think you really nailed it down.

@@chiccaraki yeah, and what I’ve realized is the difference between brand new friends, or friends you’ve had for a while. Isn’t quite as big as we might imagine. Some of my friends I met them and they were instantly my best friend I swear.

@@RawLensGaming yes, we need to bring the good people with us, if they choose to accompany, while finding new ones with which to journey.

Not sure, I’ll look into it and report back 😂🤔.

Alcohol 🍸

@@themagnus2919I don't drink though 😢

You bring up some really important points about second chances. They truly are a gift, not a right, and it takes wisdom and strength to decide who deserves one. I really resonate with the idea that second chances only hold value when we recognize our own worth and set boundaries when needed. Life is demanding, and not everyone is willing to do the hard work to truly change. It’s up to each of us to protect our energy and surround ourselves with people who respect and value us. Thank you for sharing this perspective it’s a powerful reminder to choose wisely and never compromise on self-respect.

No problem 👍

Lmao, true.

@@lakkakka yeah the word toxic is pretty loose, I tried to outline in depth the sort of people I was referring to. It’s easy to start cutting people away if you put them in boxes, but not everyone is bad to have around in small doses. I think for most friendships it’s about balance and boundaries. Some people genuinely you would be better off without though, and it takes time to realize who they are. Often people we are closest to, or those friendships that are the hardest to let go of, even though they are bad for us.

@@roberthollar3409 wow, that honestly takes a lot from a parent and I respect that you are able to do that. Takes a lot of humility especially in a position of authority like that. Much respect, you are a parent to look up to.

That’s so true, I do dislike in general the word toxic because I think certain people use it so broadly for anyone they don’t like or that disagrees with them.

Fr, it’s like we don’t realize someone is bad for us until it’s too late and they’ve already gotten too comfortable treating us badly.
