As I hold my dying BitBuddy in my arms and tears run down both our faces, I lean in and whisper softly: "More like BitchBuddy, lmao.".
Bro why 😂
LMFAO
A ligma male in the blood i see
You, my friend, made me almost choke on my coffee. 🤣
what is this💀💀💀
I like how "murdering" him on the boat is arguably the most merciful thing you can do, especially given his false hope at the end. Clearly 2022 wasn't depressing enough already.
No he died happy after our holiday
I also love at the end when he’s recounting how much fun they had together, even though he was just worried about crashes during the food, balls wasn’t fun, and you didn’t get him to a very high level in quest. He was imagining the time they had together as fun, even though it really wasn’t because it’s the only time he had.
Theres also a 24 hour ending where he dies of old age
@@icantthinkofaname8139 Heh. Yeah. That's a good point. At least that bit is a somewhat less depressing given his perception of "fun" seems more or less normal since even for actual people "fun" is both subjective and tends be to be most comparative to their own previous experiences. There's just nothing to compare it to on his end beyond either doing nothing or awaiting being nothing for one reason or the other. "Fun" indeed.
I personally think the one where he dies of old age is merciful, yes, it’s cruel that he doesn’t get what he wanted, but because you waited literally 24 hours for him, it means something, and instead of seeing the player as some random guy he’s forced to entertain, he sees the player as a friend, and he gets to enjoy the fact that the person who he was afraid of became his friend.
Being trapped in an empty simulation sounds like hell to me.
It is
Same
Same.
It is
@@blazefxanimzshorts seems like the bitbuddy had already lost it uf u even look at him
This is basically that meme the drawn frog named harold who's only a concept and ceases to exist when you stop thinking about him. "I'm scared." Says Harold.
Indeed
well Harold's gotta be a zombie by now, coming back to life as you make me remember him again.
I was thinking the same thing!
Or just Niko from Oneshot
Dude his name is Ralph. Fake fan.
Anyone who plans to play this game, I'd advise you to make the most out of your time with your BitBuddy as it's a one-shot deal. Death is permanent and you need to dig around in save files and registry files to start a new game again (restarting the game without doing this just takes you back to the death screen with the skeletal remains of your BitBuddy).
How deep in the save and registry files?

@@WinterNox Never thought about that but true
Autoclicker activated.
Me: i quit
For someone who doesn't want to die, BitBuddy sure is a nihilist about everything.
I think I understand, I'm suffering from minor depression (and Asperger's), making almost everything seem rather dull or terrible, mostly the former, so I feel cynical, pessimistic, or just whatever about a lot of things, but that doesn't mean I want to die far from it really, so he might be in a similar boat

At some point i expected the buddy to start trying to eat faster than the food is created in order to avoid the crash, but since he's not hungry, it ends up being torture, and he'd rather surrender and let the game crash
pony island dev is really good at making everything uncomfortable.
I could not agree any more than this.
Uncomfortable? I think this video game comforts me, something about this charactet and the storyline made me feel comfort

A self-aware virtual pet trapped in a free trial? “I’ll never forget our holiday”? Well, I didn’t expect to cry today.
Jesus I was not expecting to feel this sad for a little video game thingy. I legit got serious feels when they got teary eyed.
Yea
i legit cried during the whole video it’s just sad asf
@@xx-fb7lc no way you cried over a 14 minute video of a green blob thing 💀 cmon
@@toddhoward1616 This is the kind of comment I need to see after a video like this oml 😂
There's no shame in empathy.
Wow this game is like being together with someone in his last moments and you know, you wont be able to see him again, once you left. This is way more emotional than i expected.. Well done.
You just explained my feelings perfectly. recently I lost 3 very important people to me in the span of 3 months, and I didn’t get to be there in those last moments for any of them, for some reason this game made me feel comfort at the end, like I was forgiven or something.. idk
The thing is, there is no attachment sure I feel kinda bad, is not my dog whom I have memories With, is just some random not even cute, like when a Tamagashi die, I feel it, cus I had memories and stuff
the boat scene made me sad, like a heavy feeling in the guts. but what really got tears streaming down my face was his inevitable death in the main screen, where he said he wouldn’t forget our holiday. right in the feels. Ik you’re just a collection of bits and sounds but goodbye baber, ily
Symphaty is the only thing that makes me remember that I still have humanity in me
@@kopioshu Agreed.
Aww ikr? Poor baber :( who knew I’d feel so bad for a bunch of code
Who's chopping onions in here?
He definitely won't remember the holiday either, amirite🤣
Daniel Mullins is a good dev, but I have to admit his past few games have all felt a little constrained by his writing style. I know it's part of his whole deal, but it would be nice if we could have a change from the standard "tragedy 4th wall breaking ending" he's so fond of.
i respect & understand your opinion!
i do feel like it'd be nice to see his work move away from the tragedy aspect.
but i feel like daniel mullins is really a master of the '4th wall break' genre & the ARGs often involved. it'd be a shame not to see him do it in future.
@@bazooka544 I getcha, but at the same time I feel he does himself a disservice at this point since by now you can basically guess almost perfectly where the stuff he makes will go.
When I played Inscryption and spoiler stuff happened at the end of act 1 I actually wrote down what I guessed the ending was going to be and was disappointed to discover I was basically right.
That strikes me as a real weight around the ankles for his stories and writing. He's a master of that type of narrative, but I personally would like to play a game by him that really takes me by surprise again. A story that doesn't start with me going "I, the player, am a relevant character in this story seperate from the entity I am controlling"
yeah he should make a soulslike game or a military shooter instead!!!
His genre is already very niche though, I don't mind him doing this writing style at all since he is the one constantly pushing it forward (especially with Incryption) and the best part of his games are how the gameplay ties directly into the 4thwall breaking story.
@@graphite7898 See, I don't see it that way. I think that since his games are primarily about the narrative it weakens his works because you go into them already knowing what it is by now. The genre and narrative style he inhabits is rather wide and so it's restrictive for him to stick with one thing so much.
To put it in the language of films, he is a director who works exclusively in one genre (let's just use comedy as an example) but he sticks almost exclusively to slapstick (again, for example). This is a shame because it would be beneficial for audiences, the medium and the director for him branch out into say satire, or rom-coms.
BitBuddy: “Your game will crash!”
The guy with the best rtx: “hold my watermelon”
ABG: _gives a lot of food_
Buddy: "I'm worried the game will crash and kill me. Here, have this new button to clear the stuff."
ABG: *aggressive food-giving intensifies*

i love the distressed faces the bitbuddies have to the fact that they know that they could die any second
this buddy remind me of my kitty
Our time together just like this
It was a rainy night
I picked him up on a street, the very first time he lying around my arm, feeling safe
The days after, I got back from school, bought the sand and kitty food
He lied there, breathing faintly, on my hand.
The last word from this Baber, I could imagine the last word Mun spoke to me.

Welp if the video game didn't make me cry......Rest in Peace Mun
@@eldritchabomination0 thanks alot man, i still love that kitty very much, to my deepest soul.
I’m sad they didn’t let him go on the holiday one final time. I’m happy he got to experience it with a friend, though. A friend who stayed with him until the very end.

I think due to the depressive episodes I've been going thru, it's made this the most upsetting video I've watched in recent memory just because I empathize so much with begging to live and be happy with the resignation of how things are going to continue to go. idk I just feel bad for the little guy and taking small joy in trivial things while being unsure if what you're doing matters.
Change is coming
@@user-p6-3561 What kind of change?
I used to be depressed. Now I'm not. I was told depression can't be cured by myself. I guess that's kinda true because God saved me.
Life has meaning, and you have value. Your Creator loves you and revealed Himself to you in Jesus. As one human to another, read the Bible brother. It's God's self-revelation to us.

12:18
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe... Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion... I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain... Time to die.
That's from Rise of Skywalker right?
As you cradle the skeletal remains of you beloved BitBuddy, a cloaked figure emerges from the shadows. His features obscured by a dark hood, save for a smile that chills you to your very soul.
The man kneels and places a hand on your shoulder. You glance up at him, but force yourself to look away from that ghastly smile. Without a word, he reaches into the folds of his cloak and pulls out a small object. Pressing an innocuous silver square into your hand, he slowly stands and walks away.
Tears well in your eyes and quickly overflow into a torrent as you let loose a horrific wail. Pain cuts deep into your being as you stare at the skull on the ground, feeling waves of regret crashing into you like a tide.
The figure turns to you, still walking away, and quietly says, "I hope it was worth it." His lips curl once more into that accursed smiles as he walks off.
Devastated, you look once more at the skull. The sorrow and pain overwhelms you as you come to realize the horrors of what you've done. You glance at the nearly forgotten object in your hands, and recoil in disgust, throwing it away.
The Klondike bar falls to the ground with a sickening, dull, thud.

I always sucked at keeping Tamagotchis alive! ;)
I am staring at my ceiling, trying to find words to describe the thoughts and feelings this made arise in me, but I think in itself speak positively for the game.
That's how feels "empty" it's just virtual, imagine we are a lonely entity in a whole universe
"I will die"

We cry for him, for what he implies and whatever he reminds us about ourselves.
Funny how alot of big, blockbuster moments that have millions of dollars spent and months, if not years, of acting put into them and they don't get me, yet something simple like this game can.
Aw... it was sucha short moment, but for him it was his entire life with you... at least he enjoyed the time you both spent together
It’s... sad is beautiful at the same time
We can play sadistic and kill him directly, but it won’t bring us anything, the game knows it
This game represents life well; a voice in our head, dissatisfying us with things, we follow it, times we do not follow it, we advance, we make mistakes, we advance, we evolve, then we die, then all this reset
It’s sad and beautiful
C'est... triste est beau à la fois
On peux la jouez sadique et le tuer directe, mais ça ne nous apportera rien, le jeu le sait
Ce jeu représente bien la vie; une voix dans notre tête, nous dissant des choses, on la suit, des foix on ne la suit pas, on avance, on fait des erreurs, on avance, on évolu, puis on meurt, puis tout ce reset
C'est triste, et beau
Somewhere out there, hes now in the better place in heaven...
May your soul rest in peace, Baber 🕊️🕯️
I watched the Buddytale play through last night and I'm still unexpectedly tearing up at work, I am NOT READY for this haha
I really hoped that at the end bitbuddy would open his eyes, realizing that while he dies when the game closes, he CAN ONLY die through closing the game, thus, he will be forced to live forever as long as the game never closes, even as his body rot, his spirit diminishes and his consciousness nothing different than a potato
HE WILL NOT DIE
Is there an actual paid version of this game or is that just part of the in-game story?
there isn't, at the very least not yet
This is like a simplified version of the "boss battle" with Monika on *Doki Doki Literature Club*
Yeah, this definitely reminded me of Monika.
Also a bit of Undertale around lol
As a person who suffer a lot from existencial crisis every once in a while this is not the best thing I could have watched
The first and the second ones have not had their own holidays, and they never will :(
I love how if you seemingly do good, it just gets more depressing and ends up being worse. Punished for trying. Love it
The ending reminded me of my grandmother's death.
This reminds me of that one flash game as a kid, where you could neat him up or throw him around or whatever you wanted. I think it was called Interactive Buddy or 8 Bit Buddy
For those of us who have sadly witnessed death, this is just so much, it opens the floodgates
"I would be happy to die he"-CLICK
Brutal
2:05 I feel bad but I just can’t help but laugh at this part
The end, watching a aber slowly die, it just feels…sad.
Gawain “Is this all there is?”
Green Knight: “What else ought there be?"
Moral of the story: if you spend all your life thinking about death, you strip it off it's meaning.
So apathetic at the start, by the end I’m balling my eyes out over some pixels 😭
Much dedication, thanks ABG! (Did you wait 24hrs, or did you change the time?)
Heart touching and same time bit disturbing experience. Remind me old-as-internets web-"game" where you shoot some guy and he is permanentley dead. Each time when player reset flash-"game" -it just shows field with grass and words "What's done is done". So basically BitBuddy sort of fruther development of concept of sort of perma-things. Nice experience. It's really cool and yeah, depressing and somehow touching game.
How quickly this turns from pity to torture.
If you killed your buddy you can get him back by deleting the folders in app data and in your registry.
Registry Editor: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Funtech
Appdata: %appdata% /locallow/Funtech

Thankyou
If only I could get him to remember the past so it causes more dread and feelings of doom
BitBuddy: “Please use the clear button. I will die.”
Alpha: “I missed the part where that’s my problem.”
Literally just watched this after having a mental breakdown and lemme tell you..
.. *I'm not feeling very fine and dandy rn*
I mean, it's a good game but christ all-mighty am I regretting watching it right now..
I think I'm going to go cry again. or go to sleep, idk man.
RIP Baber, god rest ye mighty soul.. or whatever they may say.
i think you should search for cats and dogs video, especially Husky
Hope your feeling better now king
If it make you better, you're not alone. Having a rough week rn by dealing with burnout and episodic depression at the same time, and baber just shattered the mental glass.
We only interacted with them for like ¼ min yet the bond is almost the same as at least a year, especially when they absolutely counted every second and appreciated every moment we spent even tho it's still a short list and baber couldn't get a chance to have a second holiday. When they started to speak really slow it really hurts a lot.
At least baber didn't die with fear like the first time we met them with such an anxious look and immediate warning & begging without proper introduction

Love the background on your desktop ABG
Imagine sometime in the future if science and technology finds a way to program consciousness and awareness into a computer. Then it’d be possible for someone to actually make a real person suffer in this way.
Hmmm... Real individual, perhaps. "Person" is by definition "an individual human," so a synthetic individual wouldn't be a "person."
@@giin97 Personhood is not as simple as that, both linguistically and philosophically. There are implications with massive consequences if we manage to create a sapient autonomous being, it doesn’t matter what body structure it takes.

What is one life compared to the vast amount of knowledge that can be gained

You know, I think people wanna kill him because of that reused bit sound that plays in other of his games. If BitBuddy had a Boston accent, saying: "Hey missah', don' hit that quit button or I die, y'hear?" I don't think a lot of people would go against his word.

Thanks. My tamagotchi wasn't psychologically scarring enough.

such an interesting concept. love it.
I do not miss these tamagotchi things, this is exactly what they were like
There is a game/desktop pet that works the same way.
Alienmelon's runonce.
Essentially the same concept; a little buddy on the screen who will be permanently dead if you close the program.
Difference is that they walk around the screen, have recorded voice lines, and sometimes saves a couple of pictures to the desktop.
Thanks for the existential crisis.
I will never f o r g e t.
What if he’s playing us more than we’re playing him 🤔
There will be someone who plays this and genuinely gets emotionally attached to this and keeps the game running for days and days just for their power to shut off briefly while they're asleep. They'll wake up and see the computer screen black. You then hear a muffled gunshot quickly followed by a heavy slam. This is going to happen. It will and it has to.
Ok this just brought up so many emotions in me... Almost got me crying at the last part
9:23 Плакала вся маршрутка.

It must feel so horrible to know that in any moment or another you will die, especially since there isn't much you can do before your "owner" quits, your worst fear, so that you do whatever you have in mind and the trial allows you.
It's just a painful and shocking way to live
that "we should continue living" makes me cried a lot :(
