Thank you all so much for supporting the channel. It’s been awhile since my last upload, however I’m really excited to start producing some more high quality content
Do you think it would be good or great to start telling stories or reading anything from books to articles? Is it either a true story or fiction? It can be anything as long as it fits through your channel algorithm.
The depressing thing is knowing that the last time you would spend in a lot of these places you had no idea it would be your last. Except for school of course but even then life was filled with hope and optimism. Now knowing how depressing adulthood really is I look fondly back on some of these times in my life wishing I'd taken more advantage of the carefree easier times.
Me and a friend were talking about "do you remember the last time you played Goldeneye 007"? That game was a little before the time of most people commenting here but if you grew up in the 90s, 007 was BIG deal. It was the "Call of Duty" of the time but there was only one game and everyone played it with their friends. At some point, probably between 2000 and 2002, I played it for the last time.
It’s insane to think about at some point in your life you play on a playground or with friends for the last time and you don’t realize it…. It feels tragic to loose
I was born in 2008 but i only have a handful of memories from my 2008-2013, none from 2014 and like 5 from 2015. 2016 onward is normal memory wise Sometimes these images feel like they replace the memories i lost and it makes me sad
@@josephpruitt2067 Yea, It makes me sad the fact some places or images I know is empty, I really missed going out to malls and stores that now are being replaced of modern stuff, technology.
These images make me feel like I left something important behind back then. I feel a need to go back. It feels like i need to time travel to the 90's and relive my childhood as an adult, or find my kid self. Hunt down myself, and fix whatever went wrong.
You're right. I don't think a lot of us actually miss being a child. I myself looked forward to being a `grown-up` as a kid, being able to do whatever I wanted. What I think gets to a lot of us is being able to start out with a clean slate. Some may feel this a lot more than others, depending on how their lives turned out.
Yeah I made some decisions in my 20s that fucked me. I'm now almost 40 and am very unhappy with my life and there's very little I can do to change it. It would all be different if I would have just changed one decision I made. These liminal spaces to me are reminders of that. I don't want to be a child again, but I miss the feelings of youth and optimism that came with it. I really miss my 20s and wish I could do life over again from that point. Most people commenting here are Gen Z in their teens and twenties. My message to them is to live for yourself and only make the decisions YOU want to make, not what anyone else tries to pressure you into.
Oooh, I've got an idea. Maybe why liminal spaces feel much more tangible when having a lack of sleep? Or maybe the imagination used to put yourself in a liminal space? I feel like liminal spaces are realistic enough but have a quality of unrealism that very much resembles our fantastical recollection of these places as children. I feel like there's something to be said about searching for the lost skill of imagination through the dreamlike and nostalgic, where childhood and REM sleep is where our imagination is most active. I'm trying to figure out why I enjoyed liminal spaces so much, and I think it's that dreamlike quality along where anything could happen, not just things that fit the laws of nature. (Also your liminal compilation videos are amazing, thank you for making them)
My friend, you’ve earned my Subscription. It’s just… I… don’t know, they all feel like A Dream You’ve Had Before. Like they’re all sad, remembering the times I’ve been with my grandma, and how we’ve all taken for granted. And I wish I made better choices. I remember how many times I’ve lied and how I can truly never tell the truth. And the people I could’ve helped. But. Maybe the past should be seen as something mournful, but maybe they are supposed to be looked back upon so you can change as a person.
I’m really glad that you enjoyed my video! It can be important to remember the things we regret. Even though they are difficult, if we don’t understand why we regret them, then you can never truly grow and move past them
It makes me so sad that I don't remember my childhood, all I can remember are is trauma, and I know that I never can look back years later on spots I used to be because I either have no idea where they are or they don't exist anymore.
There was this girl I used to know. Her name was Molly. She was the sweetest person I have met so far, and will probably ever meet. I had a huge crush on her since like the 7th grade, and we did everything together. We hung out every day, attended each other's birthday parties, and I even took her out to Homecoming. We talked less throughout senior year of high school after our friend group broke up and went separate ways, and haven't talked since we graduated 2 years ago. Unfortunately for me, I am a coward, and even if I knew how to reach her, I couldn't bring myself to do it. This video had me thinking about how much I wish I would've said or done something. I have learned to move on, but my time when I was younger will always have a space in my head as a time in my life when I was truly happy. Note: If, by some means of nothing short of a miracle, Molly happens to read this, we should talk again. You know where to find me.
There’s always something that makes us cling to the relationship we built when we were young. Not just our first love, but those first friendships too. I think deep down, it may not even be the people we miss. We just miss that feeling of being young, reckless, and in love. Those first relationships just feel so free because we weren’t tied down by our current stresses. Relationships are easier when our differences don’t matter so much, when we have little control over our lives Of course we all miss those people, and we hold our memories so dearly. But I think it’s important for us to push forward. Happiness isn’t exclusive to a singular point in our lives, we can always find happiness and comfort in new experiences. Keep your head up man Even if she is too far away to reach, ultimately our future lies souly in our hands, and our own happiness will never be truly out of reach
My man! You finally posted! I know this will be my only chance to get to you so I just wanted to say: in my humble opinion, you have made the best liminal space content OF ALL TIME. Your work is amazing, nostalgic, and sad. Amazing job my liminal brother. Thank you for reading and have a great night!
I remember I used to have a bunch of friends to talk to and hang out with in elementary school. Here I am now at 23, and I only have 1 friend irl, all the others I've lost contact with or they've moved away, meanwhile, I'm in the same spot I've been in since age 5. Something I really want to do is take a walk to my old elementary school and see what it's like now. It's been closed for over a decade. But i dont have the confidence, for fear I might get in trouble. I also dont want to go alone.
You could just look at the place, Looking at something that you used to go to all of the time that is now shut down and abandoned is truly an Experience.
For me when I look back at my childhood I feel sad and miss it because of all the fun things I could do and wanted to do that you can’t do anymore because of how much things have changed. You can’t find the same experiences and places and people and things to do that you could find back in the day. I loved the playgrounds and the mall and the local candy shop and all the small things that used to make me so happy that aren’t there anymore. And I really miss my old friends too.
As you get older, you begin to appreciate the things you took for granted. You remember simpler times when you and your friends would go outside and make anything fun. You envision the days long gone when you hated having to go back inside because it was getting dark outside. One day you wake up not knowing that yesterday was the last day of your childhood. No matter how much we wish, those times and memories can't be re-lived...hold onto what you have now, you never know what day will be the last for you or what you cherish. Goodbye childhood, I will never forget the joys of days long past.
I was born in the 2000s and a lot of these images brought me to tears because I remember many on them. I didn’t have a hard time making friends back then but now I do. But the one thing that does suck about growing up is seeing your loved ones pass away. My grandpa passed in 2019 it was really hard on me since he was my best friend.
Remember, your human. And with that you have the indomitable human spirit. No matter the odds or the pain, people find a way. You will too. The same times you remember oh so dearly years ago are happening again. You're always in the good old times.
This video was truly amazing, the reflection really picked some of my strings and the music on top of it made it even more worth while. what's the song that you use for the reflection timestamp?
It's like watching 100,000 lives come and go all at once when you see an empty, poor-lit play area. It's of how time is relative. As a child, 1 year was forever. As an adult, 1 year is nothing.
What an amazing video essay, I'm in awe how you managed to encapsulate and describe that feeling so eloquently. I could never quite put it into words, but just watching this summarizes exactly the way I feel looking back now.
Quite a beautiful video. I remember the old days of my past, when I didn't have to worry about much in particular and I could just spend my days having fun.
Wow, so late 90s to early 200s american younglings would have been suffering the 2008 financial crisis during this time. And this crises affe ted families across the board. Affluent families and families living below the poverty line. Thats what makes me feel like it makes sense that these sorts of spaces would have been tinged with a sense of unease by virtue of most families being hit with this crisis. With all these parents dealing with the loss of everything how could kids not feel it? I was born in the early 90s so these dame spaces feel me with a different sort of dread.
Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today and forever. The way, the truth, and the life. The beginning and the end. Truth is one with love❤ Someday, all will be understood perfectly.
Ngl Minecraft just don’t hit like it did. Playing an older version of Minecraft on my Xbox 360 (before sheeps gave food) vs my PS4 with the deep dark and differing villagers brings back memories
I think it's the hopefulness we miss. If you grew up in the early 90s, you would remember feeling that the world could only get better. Seeing how it turned out it incredibly sad.
"The wake doesn't drive the ship. Anymore than the tail wags the dog." Alan watts. As much as i feel i barely understand the quote in words. Awesome vid though.
A lot of people say "I wish I could go back in time", but, part of the reason that it isn't possible is because the past is still currently happening. Think -- everything you have ever done in your life has led up to this very moment right now; it determines who you are, how you feel, what you're doing, and exactly where you are at. Time is not just some fleeting experiences, but rather an elaborate construction that is being built the second you are born; if the base of this construction was removed, the whole thing would fall. This is time. The past still exists within us -- I could wish to be eight years old again, but truth is, I still am eight years old as far as I care. I am eight year old me, plus some. Who says I cannot *think* the same way I did? It is only ourselves getting in the way of that. That's why it's absurd to yearn for the past. It's unchangeable, but it can't be relived because it is still happening within us constantly. We should embrace that rather than grieve over it. But I do 100% agree with your analysis at the end. We are all human, truth be told, and we are bound to make mistakes. I do regret these from time to time but I also remember I should move on -- besides, that's what eight-year old me, hell, even current me wants me to do.
kids who were born 2015ish and on will never understand liminality, and if they do it will be a completely different kind as their childhood experiences are v different from ours. no pump it up birthday party rooms, no old abandoned playgrounds at night, none of that. ig liminality is subjective.
(2nd comment I made) I’m still in childhood. When I watched this, im making changes. I want to explore. Play on the playground I went to when I was 5. If I could…
7:20 Never got that first love during my youth (still at 25 have never had a girlfriend nor kissed a girl) One of my biggest "hauntings/regrets" from my past
@GeorgeWhetzell 26 now, and I'm around women my age less now at my age since I'm not in college anymore. I don't have chances to meet women anymore, and it's going to be that way forever unfortunately
Yeah… I was really struggling with my mental health for awhile and a few events in my life. I also just didn’t know what I should have even posted. But now that I’ve got everything worked out, I’m coming back
Damn this video was incredible, it sums up everything have and feel with these photos. I went for a walk. I went for a walk yesterday to my old elementary school, I walked pass the baseball fields we played kickball on and I cried. I cried knowing I can’t go back. It’s a sad feeling isn’t it
i missed my childhood i wanna go home 😞i’m adult now and i’m far from my home (childhood and teenhood) i’m adult and i’m in my new home watching this makes me cry and feel like i wanna see and hug my past self🥺i wanna be a kid again it felt lighter to be a kid and rn as an adult i feel heavy due to too much of memories 😞, im crying rn😭
My comments on this video 0:23 : i actually went to this place once (forgot the exact brand name) so its really nostalgic lol will edit as the video goes on for me
Liminal spaces are like Silent Hill for the Zoomer Subconscious. It’s a foggy memory of a place you remember but in a vague, incomplete, sometimes even twisted recollection. Where nothing is quite right but just familiar enough. The worst part is that there isn’t anything scary to run from but our past mistakes and guilt as they torment you while you wander empty halls.
Recently I watched a UA-cam video, of a programme made and shown on TV in 1967. I was only 8 then, and just starting in life, but by the time I came to see it, I was 64. I then realised, that the life I had just started when this show was made is now nearly over. How much less time I have until the cemetery than I've had since the playground. How I cried, probably the most I have ever cried as an adult. The programme was an all-age programme [religious service], so would have been suitable for me to see then, as it still is. It would be suitable for someone under 5, and also for someone over 95 [I wasn't the first extreme then, still not the other now]. It is not religious services which upset me, they are an important part of my life and I attend them regularly, although seeing young choristers, about the age I was then, I couldn't help realising that they will also be elderly now, some may have grandchildren of about that age or over. Also realising that those in the congregation who were adults in 1967 will all be dead now.
As someone who's childhood sucked I have a hard time understanding how anyone could ever miss these 'simpler times.' But listening to videos like this gives an interesting and deep perspective, thanks!
I was born in '94, but my parents were born in the 40s and 50s. (I'm adopted, was a foster kid from 8 months and adopted at 5 years old.) I grew up with what would be considered "vintage" household things and furniture. Anyways I think the reason why these images and scenes make us sad, personally, is because they remind me of a colorful, child-friendly time. It was also a more simpler time too. Despite all the issues I faced emotionally and mentally, and health problems, I can look back and say I had a wonderful childhood with amazing memories. What makes me sad is not only the yearning of wanting to relieve those days, but also knowing kids nowadays will NEVER be able to experience those times like we did, that freedom to be a child, to be innocent, to have an actual childhood. Those days are gone. All that is left are memories.... But if I can adapt this to a well known quote that says "Better to have loved than to never have loved at all." I would say to all of us, better to have lived during that time, than to have not experienced that time at all. 🦋🦋
My town has changed so much that those places no longer exist One playground I used to play in as a child now has some government building built on top of it Another place is now a parking lot The kindergarten I used to attend is also on its way to become a housing development project My childhood home is going to be demolished soon and replaced by new high rise apartments buildings I passed by this place a while back and took a lot of pictures so I have a physical memory of it
This was an incredibly beautiful video. I'm turning 25 in 2 weeks and I never thought I'd hear such a deep and powerful speech during your video. I've been growing and looking deep into my past, emotions and viewpoints on life. I really enjoyed it. Liked and subbed!
I was born in the late 2000s but i still miss my childhood, even though i never been to any of these places i still feel nostalgic and find myself wishing for a simpler time. I wish i could go back
This deserves more likes. I wanted to tell mu experience trying to do throwbacks im my life, like in a positive way. Trying to reconnect with my childhood best friend when we were 6yr olds, now we are in our 20s, it was like the time hasnt passed, we are differente people now but nobody can take the memories away. Greetings from Peru
Thank you so much for sharing this I've lost so much in the past 2 years and I was born in the early 2000s it's so easy to slip into the past I thank you for giving us a new out look
When I was a kid, I went to a rainbow like inside place that I don't know how to describe it that I use to go in my childhood, When I think about it. I get sad
I don't find them sad, actually. I find them really relaxing and inviting. But I think I'm the weird outlier here. All the The Backrooms stuff makes me feel comfy. XD

It makes me so sad that I don't remember my childhood, all I can remember are is trauma, and I know that I never can look back years later on spots I used to be because I either have no idea where they are or they don't exist anymore.
6 years? That means you are like 19?.. If you are sad now, just wait until you are 27/30...
The memories start to feel like a dream with the mind filling in the blanks.
There was this girl I used to know. Her name was Molly. She was the sweetest person I have met so far, and will probably ever meet. I had a huge crush on her since like the 7th grade, and we did everything together. We hung out every day, attended each other's birthday parties, and I even took her out to Homecoming. We talked less throughout senior year of high school after our friend group broke up and went separate ways, and haven't talked since we graduated 2 years ago.

I have learned to move on, but my time when I was younger will always have a space in my head as a time in my life when I was truly happy.
Note: If, by some means of nothing short of a miracle, Molly happens to read this, we should talk again. You know where to find me.
There’s always something that makes us cling to the relationship we built when we were young. Not just our first love, but those first friendships too. I think deep down, it may not even be the people we miss. We just miss that feeling of being young, reckless, and in love. Those first relationships just feel so free because we weren’t tied down by our current stresses. Relationships are easier when our differences don’t matter so much, when we have little control over our lives
Of course we all miss those people, and we hold our memories so dearly. But I think it’s important for us to push forward. Happiness isn’t exclusive to a singular point in our lives, we can always find happiness and comfort in new experiences. Keep your head up man
Even if she is too far away to reach, ultimately our future lies souly in our hands, and our own happiness will never be truly out of reach

"The wake doesn't drive the ship. Anymore than the tail wags the dog." Alan watts. As much as i feel i barely understand the quote in words. Awesome vid though.
A lot of people say "I wish I could go back in time", but, part of the reason that it isn't possible is because the past is still currently happening. Think -- everything you have ever done in your life has led up to this very moment right now; it determines who you are, how you feel, what you're doing, and exactly where you are at. Time is not just some fleeting experiences, but rather an elaborate construction that is being built the second you are born; if the base of this construction was removed, the whole thing would fall. This is time. The past still exists within us -- I could wish to be eight years old again, but truth is, I still am eight years old as far as I care. I am eight year old me, plus some. Who says I cannot *think* the same way I did? It is only ourselves getting in the way of that. That's why it's absurd to yearn for the past. It's unchangeable, but it can't be relived because it is still happening within us constantly. We should embrace that rather than grieve over it. But I do 100% agree with your analysis at the end. We are all human, truth be told, and we are bound to make mistakes. I do regret these from time to time but I also remember I should move on -- besides, that's what eight-year old me, hell, even current me wants me to do.
kids who were born 2015ish and on will never understand liminality, and if they do it will be a completely different kind as their childhood experiences are v different from ours. no pump it up birthday party rooms, no old abandoned playgrounds at night, none of that. ig liminality is subjective.
(2nd comment I made) I’m still in childhood. When I watched this, im making changes. I want to explore. Play on the playground I went to when I was 5. If I could…
I was born in late 2007 and these images make me wanna be young again
You are still a child, you are only 15/16!
@@michaelhaywood8262 i was talking about early childhood, basically 2010-2016
I was born in February 2007 and I feel the same thing.
The mall where my friends and I used to hang out is shuttered now. I took a look at it a few months ago. Made me sad to see it like that.
7:20 Never got that first love during my youth (still at 25 have never had a girlfriend nor kissed a girl)
One of my biggest "hauntings/regrets" from my past
Same, I'm almost 17 and I've never had a Girlfriend
@@GeorgeWhetzell You still have time, me on the other hand, it's over for me.
@@UserRobot215 I mean, You're only 25 so you still have plenty of time to meet somebody.
@GeorgeWhetzell 26 now, and I'm around women my age less now at my age since I'm not in college anymore.
I don't have chances to meet women anymore, and it's going to be that way forever unfortunately
Man been over a year since your last upload and still has 5k subs sad.
Yeah… I was really struggling with my mental health for awhile and a few events in my life. I also just didn’t know what I should have even posted. But now that I’ve got everything worked out, I’m coming back
@@ObsidiousYT glad you're doing much better man. Keep up the great videos
is the background music snowfall but like incredibly slowed down
Bro uploaded 2 vids then disappeared again 💀 + what a surprise voice reveal
Damn this video was incredible, it sums up everything have and feel with these photos. I went for a walk. I went for a walk yesterday to my old elementary school, I walked pass the baseball fields we played kickball on and I cried. I cried knowing I can’t go back.
It’s a sad feeling isn’t it
This video went way deeper than I thought it would go...
Thank you.
It kinda feels like someone took my hand and lead me away from the past and it doesn't feel bad to be honest
I miss old TV shows, even from mid 2010's, recent ones are just, no good.
I'm almost 30, my late teens to early 20's seem like a bygone era now. Been thinking a lot about how much time has passed lately.
It's only a long time ago if you think it is
Enjoy being an Adult dude
@@aguywhojustexists It sucks, I'm a loser
i missed my childhood i wanna go home 😞i’m adult now and i’m far from my home (childhood and teenhood) i’m adult and i’m in my new home watching this makes me cry and feel like i wanna see and hug my past self🥺i wanna be a kid again it felt lighter to be a kid and rn as an adult i feel heavy due to too much of memories 😞, im crying rn😭

My comments on this video
0:23 : i actually went to this place once (forgot the exact brand name) so its really nostalgic lol
will edit as the video goes on for me
Tbh it Kinda looks like the old McDonalds play-place that I used to go to.
Bro when I went outside today
The hole hood was empty
Like no one was out side
Also it was ouite foggy outside
Everyone's moved away bro, sucks being left behind.
Eeekkk
Yeah
I think your describing a modern neighborhood…
@@CamelCasee Try to reconnect
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
😢😢😢😢THE OLD PHOTO
Liminal spaces are like Silent Hill for the Zoomer Subconscious. It’s a foggy memory of a place you remember but in a vague, incomplete, sometimes even twisted recollection. Where nothing is quite right but just familiar enough. The worst part is that there isn’t anything scary to run from but our past mistakes and guilt as they torment you while you wander empty halls.
Recently I watched a UA-cam video, of a programme made and shown on TV in 1967. I was only 8 then, and just starting in life, but by the time I came to see it, I was 64. I then realised, that the life I had just started when this show was made is now nearly over. How much less time I have until the cemetery than I've had since the playground. How I cried, probably the most I have ever cried as an adult.
The programme was an all-age programme [religious service], so would have been suitable for me to see then, as it still is. It would be suitable for someone under 5, and also for someone over 95 [I wasn't the first extreme then, still not the other now]. It is not religious services which upset me, they are an important part of my life and I attend them regularly, although seeing young choristers, about the age I was then, I couldn't help realising that they will also be elderly now, some may have grandchildren of about that age or over. Also realising that those in the congregation who were adults in 1967 will all be dead now.
My little mind didn’t know what I should explore. Nostalgic places for me are basically these images. Yet I don’t know if I’ve been there exactly…
As someone who's childhood sucked I have a hard time understanding how anyone could ever miss these 'simpler times.' But listening to videos like this gives an interesting and deep perspective, thanks!
That made me cry 🥺🥲
It hurts when I see my old ps4 clips. 2017 Fortnite 2015 Minecraft but I can’t stop and feel like I’m happy they happened
I was born in '94, but my parents were born in the 40s and 50s. (I'm adopted, was a foster kid from 8 months and adopted at 5 years old.) I grew up with what would be considered "vintage" household things and furniture.
Anyways I think the reason why these images and scenes make us sad, personally, is because they remind me of a colorful, child-friendly time. It was also a more simpler time too. Despite all the issues I faced emotionally and mentally, and health problems, I can look back and say I had a wonderful childhood with amazing memories.
What makes me sad is not only the yearning of wanting to relieve those days, but also knowing kids nowadays will NEVER be able to experience those times like we did, that freedom to be a child, to be innocent, to have an actual childhood. Those days are gone. All that is left are memories....
But if I can adapt this to a well known quote that says "Better to have loved than to never have loved at all."
I would say to all of us, better to have lived during that time, than to have not experienced that time at all. 🦋🦋
My town has changed so much that those places no longer exist
One playground I used to play in as a child now has some government building built on top of it
Another place is now a parking lot
The kindergarten I used to attend is also on its way to become a housing development project
My childhood home is going to be demolished soon and replaced by new high rise apartments buildings
I passed by this place a while back and took a lot of pictures so I have a physical memory of it
This was an incredibly beautiful video. I'm turning 25 in 2 weeks and I never thought I'd hear such a deep and powerful speech during your video. I've been growing and looking deep into my past, emotions and viewpoints on life. I really enjoyed it. Liked and subbed!
I was born in the late 2000s but i still miss my childhood, even though i never been to any of these places i still feel nostalgic and find myself wishing for a simpler time. I wish i could go back
I plan to make a proper comment later. This UA-camr is on to something, partially.
I have a similar feeling
This deserves more likes. I wanted to tell mu experience trying to do throwbacks im my life, like in a positive way. Trying to reconnect with my childhood best friend when we were 6yr olds, now we are in our 20s, it was like the time hasnt passed, we are differente people now but nobody can take the memories away. Greetings from Peru
Thank you so much for sharing this I've lost so much in the past 2 years and I was born in the early 2000s it's so easy to slip into the past I thank you for giving us a new out look
When I was a kid, I went to a rainbow like inside place that I don't know how to describe it that I use to go in my childhood, When I think about it. I get sad
I think this a refreshing insight into liminal spaces and the reasons they instill feelings of sorrow and nostalgia. Wonderful video!
These Photos I put on this Video is so Sad to!: ua-cam.com/video/rK1ZHshiEIs/v-deo.html
I dont know who are u.. and even i dont know why ur content is in my feed cuz im from mexico.. but im glad to meet u great content
This was a very good video, I enjoyed every second of it. You deserve more attention, keep up the good work!
I am trap, myself, in the old home videos. And i sell this nostalgia to other people.
; )
im excited to watch your channel flourish man
Very deep man,thank you for this video.
PAUSEEEEEEEEEE!!!! IS THAT THE GRIM REAPER 1:23
No no, I just look a little different from your average person lol
Maybe watching this while at the doc isn't a good idea, fighting tears back hurts a lot hahah
I grew up late 2000s-mid 2010s
Im 18 btw
Same, But I’m 16.
I grew up in late 90s and early 2000s and this is it.
You got the water works going for me,thank you my friend
0:23 bro wait isnt this playground in my city?
Thank you for making this video.
How can an object be sad???
Sentimental Value
I don't find them sad, actually. I find them really relaxing and inviting. But I think I'm the weird outlier here. All the The Backrooms stuff makes me feel comfy. XD
Yeah same.
Beautifully done, my friend.
This the type of videos that are worth watching
it's the guy that made the liminal space video
It is. And I’ve got all sorts of new content on the way
@@ObsidiousYT can't wait for it man
