I’ve come to the conclusion that your old friends, and yourself included, have changed too much over the years. Their interests changed, attraction towards others changed, etc. People just change too quickly for us to adapt, and that’s facts. Big sad, but hey, we’ll meet new people down the road! :)

I came home and they absolutely despised me because I had just gotten home from war and they absolutely hated anyone who didn’t just throw down their weapons and walk away.

    And this kind of story is exactly why games mean so much to so many people. A lot of people miss this when talking about games, but they're more than just what's on the disc. They're a time and a place and the feelings you were having when you played them and how they helped you cope with those feelings.

I was super depressed because of this and not being able to see anyone and everyone’s too young and busy with school to just come on over...

    2019 was one of the worst years of my life. I started my first year in college and was dealing with a lot of shit. My classmates and seniors were mean, I was feeling alone because all of my friends from high school parted ways, my grades went down because I had almost no motivation to study for tests and attending to classes (I even had to repeat that grade), but above all, my depression had gotten really bad. In December, when the school year was over, I was completely wrecked, I barely recognized myself and had bad expectations for my next year. On Christmas my dad gave me a ps4 with a copy of spider-man ps4. I felt more happy in that one Christmas than I felt in that whole shitty year. Spider-man ps4 was the first ps4 game I ever played and it holds a special place in my heart because it made me rediscover my love for gaming and brought me back to when I was a kid playing ps2. And the one person I should thank for that is my dad.
    You rule, dad.

    I swear you've tapped into a certain zeitgeist of growing up in the late 2000's. Your introspective videos hit really hard and speak to the profound ways that pop culture artifacts get woven into the fabric of our lives. Something about the interactivity of games makes them a space for expression and self discovery, a safe space where control can be exercised even in the midst of the shitty helplessness of childhood and adolescence. These videos must resonate with a whole lot of people.

I was failing school, depressed, and had lost most of my friends as a result of some bad decisions I made. Bioshock was an escape from that. While I played bioshock, I completely forgot about how far downhill my life had gone. I was immersed in the world of rapture, and while I was there I didn't need to worry about all this stuff. I was never given a copy of it like you were, but one of my coworkers recommended it, and buying it was the best decision I've made in a while

    I have had a similar experience this last year, except with Factorio. I moved to Vancouver from small town Saskatchewan. It was a hard move, and my best friend for 12 years gave me a steam gift card. He said “Buy Factorio. Let’s play when you get there. I love you, man.”
    I got to Vancouver and discovered he was hit and killed by a drunk driver the day after I left. I felt sad, depressed, and hatred. I was alone, lost, and having dark thoughts. I was considering ending it all.
    Then I remembered my buddy, Josef, and what he told me. I went online, with trembling hands and bought Factorio with the steam gift card he handed me the last time I saw him alive. I booted it up, and fell in love.
    I played through the pain, through the thoughts, and he played with me, in spirit. We went on adventures for oil, uranium, and biter nests. We crafted massive factories to create entire worlds. We watched as your civilization reached the stars.
    When I saw the victory screen after launching my first rocket. I was sad. I felt my buddy leaving my side. We were on that adventure, and it was over. I cried for days and nights over him. I struggled in school, and I went back to that dark space in my mind.
    I then got back from school one day, being notified I want on track to graduate high school in 3 months from that day. I honestly considered suicide. I thought it was the only way.
    I than thought of Josef. His life, cut short. I rebooted my dusty PC, and launched Factorio once again. The familiar opening scene brought a familiar sense of joy to me. I clicked on “Play”, then “New Game”.
    Hundreds of hours later, my empire is shaping still, Josef, my guide, my companion, my buddy. I managed to go from failing grades to ~80% in all my classes and accepted into UBC, with a scholarship. I survived.
    To this day, I wish I could have been at his funeral, two thousand people, his entire school, payed respects over the course of a week after his passing.
    I visited my hometown last month, and saw his gravestone, just a few hundred paces from my grandfather’s. I laid the steam card at the base, than left, feeling like we had paid each other back. I left my hometown, tearfully, on the late night flight back to Vancouver. I stared out the window the entire time, listening to his Spotify playlist of his favourite rap music. Reliving our entire childhood together. I never felt more complete than that day.
    I love you Josef.

      But I had a GameCube I'd gotten a week prior. And I had Animal Crossing and Wind Waker.
      Pretty sure those two games actually legitimately saved my life - because even with them, I came pretty close to giving up sometimes... but maintaining that goddamn town and seeing KK every weekend legitimately gave me something to look forward to, and sailing the seas in WW let me feel an escape I hadn't experienced prior to then.

    Man I keep coming back to this. Its so raw. Im writing a video about the Gundam franchise right now and while planning out the visuals I realized that the calm shots I was taking of my gundam figures and my desk and the view from my window are directly influenced by your style in this particular video. You inspire me man.

    As a 16 year old, I look forward to living life and telling stories like these to loved ones. Jake, you and all of your content have done for me, what Jesse had done for you all those years ago. Thank you, I love you.

    I'm so glad I clicked on this video. I thought it was going to be another funny commentary-type video; I was not ready for how visually beautiful and deeply emotional and nostalgic it was. I had no idea Jake made these kinds of videos (and admittedly, I'm new here, so I've only seen a few) but now I want more of this. It resonated with me, and for some reason I had the urge to listen to 'Lover's Spit' right after.

    I have the same comfort with fallout new Vegas during lockdown seeing how I was struggling with a lot stress from online work and an overall feeling that nobody liked me. I’m thankful I had a great game, world and story to escape too when things got shitie

    Why am I just finding your channel? I love your content, and this video is a nice break from your others I’ve been binging today. Really vulnerable, I love it. You earned a sub and I will become a patron tomorrow. Godspeed you nematoad.

    Dude I relate so much with your story- I grew up in NE, moved to CO, moved back to NE in highschool and “knew” people there, but didn’t really know them. For me Skyrim and Zelda games kept me company, and eventually I made friends by connecting over our love for those games.
    “Thanks for watching”??? Thanks for sharing dude. Can’t wait for the next vid.

    I grew up in a small town in Montana, so your intro gave me chills. Your videos give me so much joy, good on ya I guess.
