      Same. I keep thinking that there has to be a damn reason for that..! We were once so important to each other, so where did it go wrong? 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! :)

      Mark Jens same here. All of my best friends ended up going to college and becoming incredibly liberal (which isn’t inherently bad) and I joined the Navy and ended up going all over the place. 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.

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... I lost a lot of friends in that time and it was really weird coming back to a lot of the ones i have nowadays, cause i had no idea how to interact with them as Mr.NakeyJakey here has said.

    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.

    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 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.

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.

    Animal Crossing was my escape when I was twelve years old and living in a chaotic household. The feeling of having some sort of control in an innocent world that gave you some kind of real freedom was a gift that I can't equate anything to at that time. This is why games are so special. It's not just entertainment - it can be a way of getting through times that are too hard to process in this big chaotic confusing world. Thanks for this vid Jakey boi~

      It was mine too. My mother I hadn't seen in a decade got custody of me, and we moved 600 miles away to a place I had never been and knew no one in, into a family I didn't know.
      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.

    Goddamn I cried with you jakey deadass dude, shit hits different, I went from Maine to mass back to Maine and then literally everywhere in Maine, so hearing you talk about a similar situation fucks with me because certain games just hit me differently because that’s all I had

    Your content is just simply amazing. You’re authentic, genuine and unique and it oozes out of every video. I have been binging your stuff for a week and I just had to tell you.
    So good. Keep it up. You’re valued and appreciated.

    I feel and understand this now playing through Skyrim again at a shit time (with Mods ofc). That simple enjoyment of just playing a game for fun. I miss your video uploads but completely understand taking a step back from online, I need to do it more.
    I wish you the very best Jakey, keep following your passions mate.

    I met a kid on Xbox Live when I was playing splinter cell double agent. He lived in California and I lived in Utah but we played every day, as in halo and cod ect. As years went on and new gen came out we haven't played a lot. He was playing PC and I was still on Xbox 360. I saved for awhile to get an Xbox One. One time he got a hold of me and BOY was I surprised he wasn't no "squeaker" anymore. He was telling how he had family problems and was living in a mentally abusive environment and how he was going to move. I felt really bad how much sadder and mad he sounded after not talking since we were like 12 yrs old. A couple of months later he was asking me if I knew what elder Scrolls online was, I said "no, but I know the elder Scrolls franchise"
    He was saying how we need to play this game together. Later on he told me I could have all his games because he was transferring to PC. Well so he did and we talk in discord once in awhile. But these 6 years of friendship from just one round of team death match can really impact you in life.

      I remember when I played on the Xbox 360, I was playing on GTA 4 and I was driving around and found a random, I honked my horn a few times and he got in and we were the best of buddies for the entire game until we had to go, we had to leave we added each other and talked later the next day, he turned out to be an Aussie around my age and we just instantly clicked we played everything together, Minecraft bf3, CoD mw2-3 bo1 - 2 anything you nsme it we were the best of friends, fast forward a year or so he got an Xbox 1 and I was still on the 360 we still talked to another but after a while it ended not because we didn't like each other but for other reasons. He was one of my best friends during that time of my life since I was never really able to make many friends during school, and I honestly miss him so much and want to reconnect with him.

      @@chef8645 i had a similar experience and maybe you'll get lucky and reconnect and click, but for me so much time had passed and we have so little in common anymore that there's nothing left. Sometimes it's best just to remember what was.
