The fact 2 russian kids taught u the game then sang to you is so wholesome

That kid playing guitar and singing for you was very sweet, I wasn't expecting a wholesome moment like that 😭

That russian kid was singing Viktor Tsoi's Kukushka, one of the most influential soviet era singer. I am so surprised to see that people still listen to Kino, his band, after all this time. Their songs about freedom and man's struggle in life are still relevant to this day, especially with what's been happening in that part of the world for the past few years. Those kids have great taste in music and they were so wholesome!

The memorials made me start sobbing. The kids, the memorials, all of this is just terrifyingly beautiful. All of these people were real and I'm not sure any of them were thinking about dying when they were starting out. The internet is such a fucking place. There's so much love buried in these nooks and crannies.

That depression hits different when you're the only person on a server of what once was a booming, bustling community... Those memories are timeless.

A kid singing Kukushka in a 20 year old dead game is something I'll never anticipate before watching this. Along with a deer crashing through my window right now. The odds are just very minuscule.

There's something stunningly beautiful about two people trying to teach you how to play a dead game via Google translate. That's gaming at its best. No meta. No tier lists or power leveling or bots. Just a few humans trying to muck through a digital landscape together.

Man, it was a pleasure playing with you guys 😅 Thanks for shining a light on what I do on my weekends Rye ❤

Those kids singing "Everything is going according to plan" melted my heart. They're probably scaping all the stuff that's going on by playing an old game in a probably not so good computer, and they took the time to teach you everything. Awesome.

I'm so used to the screaming russian goblin child archetype, it was really refreshing seeing those two kids patiently coach you on the game and sing to you.

Damn, thoes russian kids were just legends. The very old game was also pretty wholesome taking by it's history and the last game, wow like people keep up such a comunity and the servers are still up for them it's just wholesome, this whole video is so wholesome so confy and honestly you're such a legend for giving light to such epic comunities. Honestly if the comunity is welcoming then you're going to have a blast with the game

That singing was absolutely legendary! Wonder if he'll pop up in other dead games later down the road?

There's something so harrowing about that Active Worlds memorial wall. Each one of those people had hopes and dreams, lived somewhere on this planet, maybe had kids or parents or siblings that missed them. It makes me think of all the people we meet in online games years ago who we never see anymore.

Spooky the bot was probably a place holder so they don't close server. Loved the video.

I highly recommend Empires Mod! The community is not dead, just very small. If you like big battles, class perks, and vehicle customization, it's definitely worth checking out.

Hi just a note for Ricochet The reason you weren't able to turn around using mouse is some weird glitch that is present in a lot of old valve games. The way you fix this is by doing the following: Options > mouse > Raw Mouse Input (tick it) Don't know if you'll read this comment but there you go

Those two kids teaching you was so funny, good kids. Love to see friendship built off a game without even speaking the same language. It’s deeper than just a game, video games bring everyone so much closer together it’s beautiful!

I find it fascinating to go back to old games, posts or even forums that are 20-25 years old, just to see and read what people wrote or did. Its a bit like stumbling on a ghost town and going into people's abandoned houses. I suppose its because of a sense of nostalgia, it reminds me of back in the days when I'd look up any info on the hoaxes of Zelda Ocarina of Time, trying to find places I didn't knew or getting answers for details I noticed and couldn't explain. I have to say that the stumbling on graveyards and memorial on Active Worlds was something, it almost got an eerie feel to it, we get to see players who were loved and are gone memorialized there.
