That "Life is meaningless but that's the beauty of it because you can create your own meaning" hit so hard.. True anime ending for an amazing video

[@chimedemon]

First thing, thanks Internet Pitstop for being a really chill successor to the feeling of finding a cozy room in the midst of an apocalyptic and nightmare fulled world. :) Guys, the original taia777 checkpoint video that’s the whole reason for his channel, was my personal place to just send a checkpoint about my life currently, and the space where I read so many small moments of people’s lives… it was copyright claimed. While it feels almost bittersweet that such a lovely, cozy thing was allowed to exist on the internet for us before being gone, I still hate the copyright system we have. We still can’t watch or play many things, we can’t remix or create new art out of existing things without copyright breathing down our backs. It was RIAA’s last ditch effort to screw with us a little bit more before they fizzle out and die, but it’s pissed me off for years… yeah, we can’t let something like that keep us from being able to express our humanity, you know? These videos kinda give a great crash corse in what we’ve been dealing with, and what we gotta fight so we can just enjoy some chill remixes with anime tittie clips spliced with chill backgrounds. m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/gX69ZZ6hiLuleNk m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3OcY31tZaegrJo I don’t know, it pisses me off… anyway, sorry about that, carry on with your lives and good luck :)

[@InternetPitstop]

That atmosphere you described of being in a cozy room in the midst of an apocalyptic and nightmare fulled world is something that I personally have always felt immense comfort from even as a kid being somewhere safe when I knew the outside wasn’t or maybe it was cold and where I was was warm things like that always brought comfort for me idk if there’s a word for that but I love that feeling it’s something adult swim has and the taia777 channel I think that’s what I try to achieve here so this comment really made me happy to read made me feel like everything I’m doing is worth it and it’s working rip to Taia777 copyright is truly such a mess and those vids you shared are great for exposing that thank you for this comment it means a lot to me hope you have a great day !

[@chimedemon]

@@InternetPitstop for sure man, actually I remember my first taste of that feeling, that vibe came from me being a little dumb 5 year old playing Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, in the warmth of my home as just right outside the window there’s just calm snow. I mean I got the game at Christmas thinking “this is gonna be that fun Zelda game I randomly saw on tv and told my parents about!” Thinking I was gonna get Skyward Sword, but because my parents didn’t actually know the name of the game I was thinking, they just went like “oh, this one looks cool! It’s got this surreal and misty box art of link and a wolf. Lez do thaaat!” And thus, I was thrust into the whiplash of discovering the nightmare fuel of Twilight Princess. I remember the moment I began suspecting it wasn’t gonna be the bubbly and playful game I saw on tv as soon as I went into the twilight realm and became a furry. Dude, the music STILL sits with me to this day, being introduced to a character that made me begin looking at the world of less black and white, but more grey… non other than Midna. At first I was like “ahh! She’s a demon and this place has monsters and creepy music, OBVIOUSLY she’s evil!” And then as the game went on she became my first video game crush… which makes sense for my current taste in women actually- But I remember that feeling of running across the roofs of this surreal and dark world, fighting off nightmarish creatures with distorted screeches, and just being… entranced by all of it. Feeling the weight of saving my friends, and sprinting throughout the world as it’s snowing outside my home… I think the fact that I played that AND was watching adult swim and Samurai Champloo around the same age made me appreciate the importance of the vibe at a young age. So great video dude, have a great day! (Similar thing happened the first time playing ICO where I would never sprint while holding Yorda’s hand because she always looked uncomfortable, as well as NOT KNOWING SHE WAS REQUIRED TO SAVE until halfway in the game because I’d bring her to the couch on my own, just wanting to have company. I know, I’m a dumb romantic and always have been… anyway that’s all)

I think my first experience with atmosphere in games was in LoZ Twilight Princess. At first everything is fine and cheery and you start in this cozy village helping everyone out and basically being the big brother of the town. But once the plot started moving the atmosphere completely changed. The twilight realm just... hit different. The eerie music, the dark sky, the creepy enemies, the souls of scared npcs, It created this incredible sense of "I need to get the hell out of here". You literally become Link. You want to get out of this creepy and alien atmosphere, and go back to the cozy village life. One part of the game that sticks with me to this day is escaping captivity as wolf link and finding Zelda. The complete mood shift from ranching cattle, to escaping a dark eerie castle with your only companion being this weird bossy creature completely captivated me. It was one of the first games I played as a kid, and I still look back on those moments fondly. I always get this weird nostalgia whenever I play back through those segments of the game.

[@nathanferrell8270]

Same man twilight princess was the first time I got truly sucked in also. Then I found dark souls and it was like the perfect evolution of that. Still got mad nostalgia for twilight princess tho, and its still a great game.

[@essem4979]

When I played it as a kid I remembered often going back to the village just to feel like I was safe again

[@AxelTheAussie]

Twilight Princess was one of my first gaming experiences and the atmosphere of it sticks with me to this day. The music and sounds of the twilight messengers gave me nightmares for so long lmao

[@DunkeyKonga]

That's a great moment that stuck with me too, those first introductions to the twilight realm with midna and those screechimg birds. My first zelda was ocarina so it's cool to see people be nostalgic for twilight princess im the same way

[@taranlarousa3082]

Dark Souls 1 is my favorite game of all time because of its atmosphere. Every single location is immediately recognizable and feels unique due to the immersive atmosphere

[@renofheavens2]

One of the best for sure

[@Walamonga1313]

It's a pretty good game but Demon's Souls was my first love. And 3 is just better gameplay wise (both pve and pvp), my fav out of all the games.

[@Mr_blow_average]

Checkpoint: just got engaged 2 weeks ago I’m the happiest I’ve even been Thanks for making such relatable content

[@CocoHutzpah]

The original Fallout creates a tense and scary atmosphere that none of the other games have been able to recreate. The first time I went to The Glow was actually kind of scary, as everything's burnt out, there are charred bodies strewn across the floor, and occasionally a message would pop up about how my character was starting to feel funny. The atmosphere made radiation feel like an unstoppable terror.

[@damanpreet8988]

This guy has basically become my favourite KZbinr he's much more relatable when ever my day is going bad I just put on one of your videos it honestly makes my day better

[@InternetPitstop]

That’s great to hear I’m happy something I made can cheer you up like that gives what I make meaning more than anything could 🥲

[@ThomasCapella]

1:10 It's funny you mention this because when I was growing up I would often watch my brother complete games. We fought at times, and it even led to us having 2 GameCubes, but I would still willingly watch him play games. Because of that, to this day I still enjoy sitting down with him to experience a game together. It's something I will never get tired of, and some games I've held off on just to see it for the first time with him.

[@Osama_Rashid]

This hits harder, cuz no matter how realistic and eye pleasing new games become. The older games had those small things that makes them memorable (loved the Lavender Town and Bicycle example).

[@Crash_Knight]

Checkpoint: April 26th, 2023. Its a bit long but its here if you want to read it. I'm 26 and I never really felt like I knew what I wanted to do in life. But about a year ago, I had a sudden strong urge to go into automotive repair. I'm almost done school now, and I'm looking for an apprenticeship. For the first time in my life, I really feel like I know exactly what I want to do. A job I can always fall back on if things get rough. There will always be cars to fix. I'm basically installing a safety net to keep myself from falling too far in life. I genuinely feel safer now because of this. Even though in my life there's internal struggles, this is something that I know can keep me going. I've got plenty of good hobbies, good friends. I've worked on myself, made myself healthier and found a fashion sense I really like. But the one thing I'm missing is a romantic partner. I feel like its the one thing I can't get. I've never had the chance to experience it. And because of it being the one thing, I can really end up focusing on it, and really feeling like garbage. Lots of my friends tell me its the best thing in life. But my failures at it have made me grow as a person far more than I could have imagined. I hope I can find someone some day. But in all honesty, I'm scared to try again. All I've known is disappointment. Too many people have kinda treated me like dirt, even when I specifically told them that I'm tired of being lied to and thrown to the side without an explanation of what went wrong. But I know its possible that someone out there is capable of putting in the effort and interest. So I just have to see. I know regardless of what happens I've now got the mental strength to just fight through and move on, and the friends and family to help me when its too tough to handle on my own. Time to head on to the next checkpoint.

[@anavaeru]

So glad I found this little safe haven. Been watching everything so far and your editing is superb as well as the attention and love you pour into these videos. Gonna sit at this bonfire for longer than I will ever care to admit. :)

Checkpoint: Last year my girlfriend and I had an unplanned pregnancy. There was a lot of emotions, a lot of uncertainty, a lot of things said that both of us wish we hadn't. Ultimately it ended in a horrible miscarriage that she very nearly didn't survive. It's been a hard event to come down from and I thought many times that there was no way we'd end up seeing this through together. But just this morning started with hugs kisses and cooking and doing little chores around the apartment together, messing with the cat... And I thought that things are really feeling happy and hopeful again. Thank you for this video. Even if I am 2 years late to it I thought I'd leave this here.

[@Aephyn64]

Checkpoint: I've been bedridden for six or seven (kinda lost track) months with a physical ailment that is really difficult to talk about even with the people I trust most. It's ruining my relationships with my friends and family, and really making me doubt a lot of my life decisions and what the future might be like for me, but I'm persevering as I have been over years of struggle. I hate to complain about my problems, I know everyone is struggling with their own things and my issues are nothing special, but this video reminds me that inspiration can come from anywhere and maybe even this comment could inspire somebody in some way. That's that feeling you're talking about towards the end, by the way, that motivation to become a better version of yourself. Dark Souls and all of these other beautiful pieces of media inspire us to continue working towards whatever goals we want to reach, or give us brand new goals and passions to pursue. This channel is amazing, dude, seriously. I've spent way more time watching KZbin than any one person likely ever should, and few videos have resonated with me the way all of yours seem to be able to. Keep up the fantastic work

I had originally started watching this video in the beginning of this year and I had just started my first semester in my mortuary program and I go back to your videos to listen to while I study. First Checkpoint 09/02/2024: I am now in my 3rd semester in my Mortuary Program and I work for a Funeral Home too. Since starting this program, I have found my people and I have changed a lot personally. I have gained a lot of personal independence and confidence. Being able to serve people in the most difficult time of their lives has been humbling. I really appreciate the smallest things in life so much. I also got out of a long relationship and my people had kind of made me see how unhealthy & overly controlling this person was in my life. I look forward to this coming fall season because I spend it with my newly found group of friends. I also learned in one of my mortuary classes that the Heart Containers in Legend Of Zelda are based after the the heart of Saints in Catholic Church, they keep the hearts of Saints because they are believed to be holy and pure. I thought that was a fun thing about Legend Of Zelda and that really shows how much effort the developers put into Legend of Zelda

Seeing castle towns destroyed as a kid was probably the most effected I’ve been playing a video game. I remember being a kid and loving the castle town area, and then my heart absolutely sinking seeing the state of it after becoming an adult. I didn’t know at that point that I would later be able to travel back in time, so I remember scouring every corner of the town to try and see if I could fix it or if anyone survived.

Hey, fellow obsessive loser here! I've been struggling with chasing my dream, but dude, this channel is making me realize that I'm not alone in that struggle.

[@SP8inc]

Bro, I felt this video xd. I have more examples from my own childhood and teenage years: Harry Potter PoA: both the gamecube and the gameboy advance versions, just exploring Hogwarts, the fields and lake, the bridges, then the hallways and classrooms of the castle, with Jeremy Soul's beautiful music playing in the background... man. Skyrim: exploring the seemingly endless landscape of Skyrim at night, alone or with a companion, looking up at the stars peeking from behind the tall mountains... again with Jeremy Soul music. Ufff. Zelda Twilight Princess: just the whole game xd. Really, the whole game is just vibes all around. From the cozy ranch at the beggining, to the creepy twilight realm, hyrule fields at night, the whole game just made me feel so much. Super Mario Galaxy: those quiet moments in the beggining, or specially when exploring the crystal planet in space junk galaxy, with the beautiful music, just looking out i to space... man I miss those moments. These are just what I can remember off the top of my head, dark souls too had a huge impact on me, that bonfire music is strangly warm and melancolic.

Checkpoint: subbed, idk why I didn't previously or did from another account, doesn't really matter afterall. One of the strengths of this channel is ability to evoke same nostalgia and emotional response for something I didn't even played myself like for my personal games and experiences that did previously years and years back. Be it old sega games on my 16bit or Oblivion, Morrowind, Call of Cthulhu, Half-Life series, the Witcher did in school period, even more recent Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk did it's part. Not even talking other media like books, music and movies, but response is virtually the same and I'm thankful for being able to stop here and just sit idly to the cracking of ice behind the window staring at the pixelated bonfire:)

Currently waiting on the SD card's album to be backed up to my external hard drive. It's a big one at over 500 GB & I'm looking to upgrade to 1 TB, preferably sooner rather than later. Found your videos a day or two ago - maybe a little more, my memory is crap. I believe the first one I watched was your critique of Pokemon's region design. So far, I haven't found a single video I disagree with. It's refreshing to see a guy like you, so open about loving videogames, but also not being elitist about it, touting one console over the others, whining about graphics, putting down Nintendo games for being family friendly, etc. I really enjoy listening to you gush about art direction, level design, etc. Also, you have great taste.

@@InternetPitstop sure do! keep up the awesome work!

[@xjdail]

something about that little comment about walking slow in the temple of time really meant so much to me. i couldnt tell you how many times ive played a game and changed my characters actions depending on the environment but that little bit in the video hit so close to home. i felt an amazing sense of "this guy gets me" and its a similar feeling ive gotten from your other videos.

[@kantokid9378]

I love nerdy shit like this. That I can't explain to people in words how the little things in video games and anime make me feel.

[@joshaboi7467]

I love what you said about life having whatever meaning we give it, put my personal dogma into words spectacularly and I'm glad to hear other people feel that way.

[@ColdEmperor]

Atmosphere, characters, and story. My top 3 things I look for in a game. Graphics don't matter at all for me. So long as it doesn't look like dogshit I'm good. Very few games look that bad and it isn't because of the time they came out. Stories and characters like Steins;gate, Chrono Trigger, Luminous Arc, Nier: Gestalt, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, Bravely Default, and Bravely Second will stay with me forever.

[@fierce.deity00]

I was recommended this channel. Watched every video in a day. You have such an eloquent way of taking feelings and putting them into words that I can emphasize with cause I too have experienced that which you’re describing. I really vibe with you and what you’re doing with your channel. Godspeed, keep doing what you’re doing cause you’re great.

[@svdden_dread]

Man your videos are my therapy , it goes without saying that you have succeeded in creating a warm cozy heaven for all of us (with a small number of bonfires) 👏👏 P.S. J Dilla is our (music) God in this realm of yours 🤣

[@InternetPitstop]

Bro I’ve been loving your comments! And that’s all I ever wanted on this channel and yes Dilla is God here lol

[@lyisim]

Haven’t seen anyone else say it so I will, your fit is fire

[@spencernaugle]

I'm not normal, but when I see that Twilight Princess box-art in a KZbin thumbnail, I automatically click. It's not a thought, but an instinct, an unavoidable muscle memory.

[@deazee2288]

Wow, KZbin recommandations actually suggested a gem of a channel, I'm 5 videos in and your editing is amazing and your scripts are thought-provoking

[@goncaloamaral_5010]

Damn bro. Amazing content! I started writing a "videogame atmospheres" video script myself a while ago but I never got to finish it. Glad to see that people with my interests and way of analysing games/anime/music/movies/etc are not that hard to find. I miss my boi jakey but it's good to know u (and others) are here :) Keep up the good work

[@InternetPitstop]

Thank you bro ! And glad I could give you content you wanted to see this video means a lot to me so it’s always nice when ppl enjoy it big thanks man !

[@Charlezard1993]

I guess I should watch the whole video before commenting... BROLY VS. BROLY!?!? Dope.

[@chaselarson3232]

Now I know the backstory of the channel name! It's great, I came across your channel by randomly getting recommended your "Why 90s Anime Just Look Better" video, which is also a great video by the way. I love the idea behind the name, and your channel definitely nails that vibe! Checkpoint: I just finished up my first quarter in grad school, now I get to relax by watching some quality content!

[@InternetPitstop]

I’m really glad you found your way to this corner of the internet you seem like cool fella 🌊

[@Bushidoblacc]

I dunno bro, for a long time I wanted to make something like this, a channel or a stream where people can share the stuff they love. Whether it’s games, anime, movies, music, hell even comics. The stuff that makes us feel things. I always put it off for one reason or another, but now I know for sure I can’t, cause you’ve already done it better than I ever could. Love the channel, love the content, the vibe, everything.

[@HarryPotter-rg5gj]

This is god lvl. Of green screen usage.

[@dodderythedromedary6890]

One of the best moments of gaming I've had is sitting by a campfire with some random dudes in the Stalker series , its such a great experience hearing them joke, play guitar or just sitting, it's why Stalker games are so beloved, the atmosphere and why it's a cult hit, exploring Chernobyl is amazing with all the sounds and ambiance we need more games with awesome atmosphere, it's what makes games special and immersive.

[@JuliusCaesar103]

Dude love the personality. Also major shoutout to Demon's Souls aka the best game of all time, I got chills the second the character creation music started.

[@InternetPitstop]

Bro yes I swear souls games never kiss with the cac themes lol

[@jhovanielperez4763]

I do not know if you'll ever see this. But if you do, I just wanted to say this was an absolutely *gorgeous* video. I love atmosphere too, because it immerses me in this fictional world thru my screen. And it's the smaller details that add up to it. I played ICO, Shadow of the colossus, Zelda games, NieR games, currently playing DS1 and 3 (also played Bloodborne) and all of these have amazing examples. And in the case of anime, one of the reasons why I love Attack on Titan is the atmosphere, people hardly talk about it. And it is the tone of it, the clouds, the detail, the cryptic vibe to the Titans, the darkness, the people in it, the themes that create this unique atmosphere. And the fact that is not a videogame impresses me. I am currently studying art and design of videogames, and I want to create games like these. Games like Fromsoft games, Zelda games, NieR and my beloved Shadow of the Colossus/ICO. I also wanna do manga soon, main inspirations being AoT, HxH and others like Chainsaw Man, Monster by Urasawa, Mob Psycho. And hopefully my works get adapted. But anyway. I am subscribing. Those final moments of this were inspiring. Thank you for reading if you did. beautiful video.

[@Dylen]

Checkpoint: One year ago i was depressed after my first company failed. I decided to try to learn programming and game design. I just released my first videogame on Steam and it was an amazing experience that I want to repeat.

[@chickenalfredo317]

4:40 brought up a childhood memory I had all but forgotten about. Without fail, I would slowly walk to the master sword every time

[@Allplussomeminus]

bro yes exactly you totally get it! lol

[@wesleyflocka]

Bro I love this channel

[@oliverfawcett1023]

-Checkpoint- 8/Sep/2022 Found this channel this week and really enjoying the content, working in my job I often get a few hours during the day where I can listen to something so it started with The Rise and Fall of Pokemon's Region Design. Looking forward to watching/listening to the rest of your stuff.

[@Emmemus]

Checkpoint 9/9/2022: I found this youtube channel yesterday with this really good analysis on the regions of pokemon and now I'm watching more videos from this channel. Thanks for making these videos :)

[@twilightburial]

all of your videos are goddamn fantastic, please dont stop creating

[@faevers]

checkpoint: finally decided to watch this video after it's been sitting in my watch later for almost 2 years. feeling content and inspired. life is tough and if i watched this video when i first saw it, i don't think it would've resonated with me as much. i didn't give up! i didn't go hollow! i'm here and alive and video games are amazing.

[@aketsuuu]

Dude, you started with Ocarina of Time. That's fucking perfect for me. I wasn't sure what I was getting into the first time I played, but as soon as I entered the Deku Tree, I knew... as soon as that music hit, with its atmosphere and ambience causing me to just go ZEN. GOD. Atmosphere in games ALWAYS sells me, and music. Nothing else funnily enough. It's why Metroid is the peak of atmosphere in games, fucking love Metroid. And Zelda. Recently Neon White is ballin' too. I won't stop giving long comments like these, but take it from me: that means you've made fantastic videos that scratch my itch, because I rarely give long comments like this. Keep it up for real. I've said that a lot and I won't stop, you need to blow up to more people.

[@InternetPitstop]

Man I would love to see more comments like this man I love for these! And yes Zelda and Metroid never disappoint with atmosphere idk if you’ve played any of the souls games but they also have masterful atmosphere my fav being dark souls 1 remastered it actually has a very Metroidvania type of world design too

[@aketsuuu]

@@InternetPitstop I've played Dark Souls 3 but wasn't a crazy huge fan. Git gud moment I know. The atmosphere in those games is quality though. I'll probably come back to the Souls series again some day.

[@InternetPitstop]

@@aketsuuu ds3 is a tough one to start with, take my word for it start with ds1 remastered it’s a lot easier and slower but the world is so much more interesting

[@geschnitztekiste4111]

The Donkey Kong Countey games are weirdly atmospheric too

[@aketsuuu]

@@geschnitztekiste4111 The DKC games are PEAK.

Big thanks for this !

[@joeconti2396]

I think you're going to get an algorithm boost here. I was recommended your channel today and it appears I wasn't the only one. Been playing your videos non stop on a second monitor while I work today. Awesome stuff dude.

[@ScarletDeclan]

I'm shocked you don't even have 1 million subs. You deserve it and your videos entertain me far more than pewds or PBG. I mean they are great at what they do but you clearly have a passion. I like to think my work shows that same level of passion too. I hope the best for you and I just watched your 1 hour video about pokemon towns and their lore getting worse over time. Excellent stuff dude

[@zethstar3475]

the gurren and bakuman references fuckin got me, this video made me cry a couplea times
