Having you and Nexpo is like having divorced parents, 2 birthdays and 2 christmases

An hour long video from a creator i've never heard about on a topic i know nothing of? OH BOY GIMME MORE!

I got caught in a whiteout at night about a year ago. My only markers to follow were the faint tail lights of one car ahead of me, their rapidly fading tire tracks, and the alarming number of vehicles in the ditch on both sides of the road. If I had stopped at any point, I would have lost the road. I just had to trust the guy ahead of me and stay on the gas for like 20min straight to avoid getting stuck or lost. One of the scariest moments of my life.

“Imagine being caught in a whiteout, somewhere in the Arctic” that part just reminded me of being a kid on the US Naval base in Keflavik, Iceland and getting caught in a whiteout blizzard while playing outside by myself. I found some lava rocks to try and shelter myself, clinging desperately to my sled covering me, and waited it out for like an hour. When I got home, my mom was just like “huh wondered where you were” 😅

For context of how ridiculous the world of Blame! is... this isn't simply a megacity that covered and replaced the Earth, but one that replaced a decent amount of the solar system, and one that will eventually replace it outright if enough material is located and found. The furthest edge of the city sits in Jupiter's orbit. All-encompassing voids in the city are not there because of an error in architectural design, but because they had to build around a planet.

A small detail that I noticed in the first game is that the rifle that you use is a Krag Jørgensen, which is a Norwegian rifle, which connects it to the real life expedition even more

That sled game in the snow was so eerie and I was really impressed how realistic the movements of the characters were despite being so pixelated

I love how SIGNALIS OST was used a lot in this video that music was made for this feeling exactly

12:48 "They then speculated that the deer are detecting the electromagnetic field and uses it for navigation, they then removed the deer's brain. The deer was no longer able to find its way to the herd, thus proving the theory"

Such a good video. Keep going bro, 100k is coming so soon… can’t wait to see what’s next

I experienced this to an extreme degree in a "digital trip" in Watch Dogs 1 called "Alone" where the entire city is shrouded in darkness and the objective is to restore lights section by section while avoiding patrolling camera headed enemies. The feeling comes when you have restored the majority of the city and you are left with a city that is conpletely abandoned, you walk the empty streets while a hauntingly beautiful musical score lulls in the background

babbdi feels like this one dream i had. crossed a border, walked for a few hours, made it to a town that looked like that. no regard for safety or anything. i saw a few people die from falling off elevators and such.

The game I think of when I hear "abandoned city" or "loneliness" is "Fragile dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon" for the Wii. It's a game with one of the best atmospheres out there.

BLAME! hit me hard when I first discovered it, because my dreams were so close to the massive scaled setting years before I even knew what it was.

Shadow of the Colossus also has a cool dead world, Its huge but almost nothing is there except ruins. its one of my all time favorite games.

As a person who have been in snowy mountain terrain skiing during some whitouts; it isn't just that things look like they are floating, you can't even tell up from down. There was a scenario when we had been touring and was going back, only following a snowmobile path (marked with signs like the ones in the game but a red X at the top (although they were white because of frost)). We decided to do a shortcut and instead of following the path go downhill straight to where we had park our cars. As we went down we did stops from time to time to make sure we didn't lose anyone or at least make sure nobody got hurt. I stopped at one point, but nobody else was stopping but going slowly pass me, so I yelled out to them to make sure they could see I had stopped. Instead they replied with "we are not moving, YOU are!". I then tried to edge my skis to make sure I had stopped and immediatly noticed that, I was indeed, moving. Side note: it wasn't snowing a lot. Sometimes you get whiteouts from clouds or moisture in the air.

Virtual, the atmosphere you build from your videos is simply just impeccable. Thank you for the incredible work you do.

One game I’ve been doing my best to keep tabs on is Agony of a Dying MMO. The title alone is intriguing, but playing the demo that came out a few years ago just has this air of dreamlike loneliness covering dark subject matter that I haven’t experienced anywhere else.

The Souls Series is my favorite series that is largely based on this topic, because the way it depicts the deaths of its worlds is so timeless yet relevant. The world is destroyed over and over in a flat circle of time due to the vices and depravity of those who are at the top of society, and those who are at the bottom (the characters you play as being just one of the indefinite victims of this ceaseless cycle of the universe’s birth, decay, and death) face the worst of it. However the worlds, despite dying, or having already been killed in the case of The Dreg Heap, Kiln of The First Flame, and Pygmy Throne, still have this mystique and beauty/serenity despite it all. Despite how grim the endless cycle of suffering and peace that Dark Souls and Elden Ring are, their worlds and settings and gameplay still are comforting to me.
