glowing like a neon sign.

Just binged all this guy's videos. This was the last one. I'm now insanely depressed.
This is now my favorite comment I've ever received. Thank you ❤️
@@Brian.Henken My comment wasn't counting your newest Zelda essay! Which I just finished! I haven't even played the Wind Waker installment and it hit me hard in the nostalgia bone.
Anyway, your acknowledgment has compelled me to elaborate even more. For starters, my 9to5 my desk job is so tedious and monotonous, but it's a godsend I can watch your content while I work. All of your videos have been vivid portals into other vibrant words. All your explorations of: liminal spaces, surreal virtual and IRL environments, ambiance, immersion into media, video game culture/production/legacy, art and music, sadness/anxiety-- it's all enlightened me, influenced me emotionally, taught me about mental health / overcoming existentialism / coping with growing up, served as relaxing ASMR to vibe to, and provided me a much needed escape during these past few days at the office. And I feel like your channel has made me a better, more inspired, more fulfilled person.
I forget if you ever mentioned Patreon or BuyMeACoffee or channel memberships, but if there's a way to fund your future endeavors and incentivize you to continue despite your modest following, I'll donate.
Lots of love Brian. Thank you for your meticulous efforts, and I know for certain that your continued presence on UA-cam will impact so many others as well. Know that everyone appreciates has noticed your work ethic and profound soul.

I’m actually almost apprehensive to request more. The sheer volume of sentiments that have been expressed on this channel would equate to someone else’s literary life’s work. I forget if you ever mentioned Patreon or BuyMeACoffee, but if there's a way to fund your future endeavors and incentivize you to continue despite your modest following, I'll donate.
Lots of love Brian. Thank you for your meticulous efforts, everyone here clearly appreciates your work ethic and uniquely profound insights. I know for certain that your continued presence on UA-cam will impact so many others as well.
@@alexanderhdmi7704 It really means a lot that my videos have had such an impact on your worldview and just general attitude on life!
I'm doing my best to keep making things and hopefully they can connect with people in a meaningful way! It's been a huge joy to be able to do this!
As far as funding, I do plan on doing a UA-cam membership/patreon type thing in the future as I get to a point where I'd need to devote more time to making these videos, but for now just the kind words of support is enough to keep me going! It really does mean a lot!
There's lots more to come! I hope I can continue to impact your life as positively as I have ❤️
A friend of mine sent me this video so I'm gonna watch it like the video and probably subscribe because that friend usually watch just the best of the best when it comes to youtubers I hope you know what this means for you one of the best youtube curatos there is just recommended you have a nice day
That really means a lot. Thank you! If you could also let your friend know I said thank you for the kind remarks and spreading the word, I'd be grateful
You're sharing some really fantastic stories, Brian. It's a joy and an enlightenment hearing your experiences through your videos. Keep up the awesome work.
Thank you so much! I'm doing my best! I'm really glad you like my stuff so much! There'll definitely be more soon 🙏
This is fantastic work. Enthralling and interestingly poignant. Well done.
For me, liminal spaces give me the kind of fear horror movies gave me as a child.
It's a fantastic, well-made video. Good work, man.
Thank you for the kind words!
For me, it was the backgrounds of the movie Monster House. Why TF did nobody live in their damn down?
Beautiful video man, well done
Thank you thank you!
@@Brian.Henken theres a good chance the desert building in gta sa is a visitors center for a under visited national park, seems very govermenty. also like your use of liminal commercial and pre-infection l4d2 mall
@@circleinforthecube5170 I had no idea! Now that I look at it again I can totally see it! Thanks for the extra bit of lore!
@@Brian.Henken 70s architects making insanely cool buildings that few people will ever visit for absolutely no reason other than building cool
This is going straight into my in-the-car playlist
Hey, champ, keep up videos like this. I'd totally watch more longform content from you, and you do a very good job!
It's a breath of fresh air to the meme-ridden Max0r and Pyrocynical videos that I usually watch.
great work!
Your videos are amazing… the content is great, the perspectives are cool and the video making is great. Clearly UA-cam’s algorithm is faulty. I don’t know what your impressions stats are but tons of people should have been exposed to this gold… surely they’d have clicked and they’d have enjoyed the fuck outta it… right? Anyway great video, please keep doing what you do! I will share
Thank you so much! That really does mean a lot! At the end of the day, even if just a few people see the stuff I make and connect with it, then it means I did what I set out to do! Everything else is just a nice bonus! ☺️
I'll keep doing my best! I'm really going to try! Thank you!!
Hi Brian! Just wanted to share that I've watched many of your videos now and that they resonate strongly with me. I've many times in life thought I was alone with these feelings or how I view things and places, both in real life and video games. Thank you for the hours of good content, I wish you the best and I hope you make more videos soon.
P.s. have you played The Beginner's Guide? I've lost myself in that world many times, especially when playing "free mode" without any narration.
I'm really glad you like the stuff I make! Honestly, the reason I started making this is because of a similar feeling. I just didn't think people really took in games and other media the way I did, and so it's really nice to know that I'm not alone! I'm really happy you're able to connect with it!
Also yes I have played the Beginner's Guide! Though, I wasn't aware there was a free mode! Now I want to go back and check it out!
