ty algorithm gods for blessing me with this

I can recall the literal first time I experienced nostalgia. It was when Pokemon Gold & Silver came out and I returned to Kanto and saw how the world had slightly changed.

I've been pondering what to say about your video and analysis for a while, and since my desire to find the perfect words keeps delaying my comment, so I'm just going to say it as best I can; your video and analysis are wonderful!! I love it! I'm really glad that you liked my work, and that you took the time to put this video together. It's always nice to hear the thoughts of former Hatena users. The section on how nostalgia can become a dangerous coping mechanism if we're not careful was one of my favorite parts. It's not easy to take off the rose colored glasses when we look back.
Thank you for supporting the archive and restoration project!

such a cool video!! I animate in flipnote as a job and if it wasnt for this video I wouldn't even know about june archive!! thats a nice new inspiration :)) tysm

[@joharakiri]

I remember watching the flipnote video when it was just out and having my mind blown when I tried to find more of your stuff. Thanks for consistently providing me with high quality deep dives and all sorts of crucial information for already a year now!

[@cornbeefboy7767]

I appreciate your anecdote about your nostalgia rabbit hole. I’ve always been the nostalgic type and over time I’ve realized that my nostalgia kept me from appreciating what I had in the present. Whole periods of time with friends or coworkers would pass and I didn’t realize how much I cherished them until they had moved on or we stopped talking.
It’s like you said, nostalgia’s fine and nice but it can’t be the only thing one focuses on.

[@EllisEisenberg]

I've been dying for an update on the ARG!!! Thanks for making this vid to hold us over until some new stuff drops :)

[@fatherWolt]

Local 58 is incredible and when I first watched a good chunk of it high which really added to the experience

[@brandonbound]

Thanks for introducing me to another incredible piece of UA-cam content I probably never would've found otherwise lol. Very informative video too, keep up the great work!

[@mrdeatheli]

[@WeebGunnerPURIFIED]

pretty decent, i made 2 videos on this arg a while back but i've lost interest since then due to hiatuses and it getting way too hard to interpret.
