Hey everyone! Welcome to another video and today we're back in Zeepkist for more themed track builds! This episode the track theme is "BOXY" and I built a track that alternates between ice and asphalt to create a very unique and weird driving experience. Did I mention extremely hard? xD I built an invisible shortcut path into the track to complete the metaphor that I was going for so as always let us know in the comments below who built the best "BOXY" track and I hope you enjoyed watching this as much as we enjoyed playing it!
Thanks for watching the video! If you enjoyed it, make sure to like it, share it with your friends and give me your feedback in the comments below!

This is a surprisingly deep metaphor. I've been dealing with major depression for over 30 years now, and yeah... Getting locked into a certain train of thought happens so easily.

[@LordDragox412]

Yeah, I like how he's basically telling people that the easiest way to reach the end is to walk off the edge... /s

@@LordDragox412 Yeah, that bugged me a little. Likewise with saying medication makes it worse. Meh.

I did realize while editing that the medication bit was very much a case of anecdotal evidence and doesn't necessarily mean it won't help in specific cases. But with that said, I hope people aren't taking medical advice from a gaming channel hehe. Stay well and thank you for the comment!

@@afoxwithahat7846 saying insults is like throwing a rock into an ocean, you don’t know how deep it goes

[@Zanzopan]

As someone who has suffered from depression, I immediately understood the metaphor. Especially the alternating control/uncontrolable surfaces representing the vacillation between being in control and not that you feel while depressed.

[@darealkosmo]

glad I was able to convey it well! thanks for the comment :)

[@DakSonGaming]

The fact that he made a Depression map and that you have to struggle (the first 2 turns) and then you find help thought it (the invisible track) is an intense metaphor and insanely smart. I love this track.

[@ryanholley406]

It’s a leap of faith!

[@jurare89]

As someone that has gone through multiple phases of severe depression, I love that metaphor. It is so true, but so hard to learn how to handle these situations on your own, and once you figured out your path (which you don't see in the beginning, but take time and sometimes help to figure out) it becomes manageable. It's pretty much a perfect representation of the perspective, perception and the path of depression, which is hard to explain realistically to a person that didn't expierience a "real" depression (putting the " in there, because people often confuse sadness with depression) Great job kosmo

[@darealkosmo]

Thank you! I'm glad people can relate.

[@57thorns]

If feel that even the part about turning other players off is in some way relevant. Even with help you need to find the way out yourself and not blindly follow what others say. As for sadness (or sorrow) and depression: Being in mourning is something completely different, it is an external thing, you know why it is there, and you know that life will turn around. You still want to do all those things you did, but just not today, not until you have dealt with your feelings. Depression however, is the lack of feelings, you don't feel sad, you don't feel happy. You just keep breathing one day after another.

[@beaubunch3621]

You guys have been helping me fight depression for years now. Thank you and keep up the good work.

[@darealkosmo]

💪 you got this! and thank you for your support as well!

[@sfisabbt]

Wow! This one got an amazing snipe at the end.

[@darealkosmo]

and we didn't even notice gg haha.

[@louismoore6004]

The fact that Kosmo has to tell us he’s not making fun of depression and that this is a metaphor proves the world is upside down. Innocent until proven guilty. Never attribute malice to someone who hasn’t shown it. We love you Kosmo.

[@deuterium_oxide7382]

i love the metaphor, as someone with plenty of experience with depression i can confirm all of this is accurate, probably could've added some fake more noticeable cheeses to show sometimes there are ways you think could be a cure that are more obvious when in reality they aren't and you just have to keep looking for the true solution that is often hidden from sight the fact that you have so many people playing the track as well adds to the metaphor, showing that many people struggle with depression, and nobody is alone in it

[@thing4826]

2:30 OOF that was unintentional but that line has a few ways to interpret it.

[@grimliver3498]

I think its great, your helping raise awareness for those in dark places , there is always somone to call and talk to if your strugerling, dont suffer in silence

[@adorbstotesadorbs.9371]

A really neat build idea I think. Is if you all spend 15mins building a track but not putting an end or finish on it. Then you swap builds with each other and work on their track for 15mins, allowing yourself to extend the track or make the intended start now the middle of the track or whatever. You do this until everyone has spent 15mins on everyone else's track. Then the build goes to the original creator of the track to authenticate. :3

[@Muhahahahaz]

10:37 Cosmo: *gives the longest speech ever* Kan: So where’s the CHEEEEEEEESE?

[@Temporary_yesyes]

as someone with mental heath issues (ADHD) that invisible path is very accurate, i can compare my self to who i used to be before i started to use medication, and it felt like i couldnt do anything, but my medication has helped so much.

[@meladaptiveTragedies]

I wouldn't say ADHD is a mental health issue, it's just that your brain is different than a (nero)typical person (I have autism), a mental health issue is something that can be fixed, versus being nerodivergent where it is a part of a person, something to be accepted not shamed

[@duodecaquark3186]

@@meladaptiveTragedies I disagree. If someone has Alzheimers it is a mental health issue that as of now cannot be "fixed."

[@KingTalion]

I don't think there's anything I can say that hasn't already been said but as someone with various mental illnesses I appreciate this video

[@ketutheheadless3332]

I'm well acquainted with depression, so I'm not making light of it, but I can't help but reinterpret the metaphor as, "if you have depression, drive off the road, and head towards the white light." INB4 someone says that's messed up: Go away, a dark sense of humor is my coping mechanism.

[@owen_deRADISH]

7:20 "KZbin, help! Kosmo has us trapped in his celar, and he won't let us out unless we win first place!"

[@kenanjones3481]

I don't mind depression jokes, it's the jokes about "curing" depression that I kinda hate. But this was actually a really good metaphor. The "cure" only works after a difficult journey, and it's as simple as trying something new instead of getting stuck in the old patterns you've been doing. But it's also invisible and without someone to tell you where to go or show you how they do it, you'd never find it and be stuck sliding along the depression track until you eventually make it to the end. Wasn't expecting the depression joke in the title to actually go deep with it, well done Kosmo!

[@darealkosmo]

Thanks Kenan! :)

[@jeremydevere6311]

Love this track, and the metaphor. I've been dealing with depression and anxiety for about 30 years, but I only actually realised that about 15 years ago. Coming back to the metaphor, and the video title, in my experience, there is no "cure" rather, depression and anxiety are illnesses that you need to learn to live with. There's definitely things that you can do to make it easier to live with. But there is no magic bullet.

[@KidarWolf]

Yeah, that's why I prefer to say "my depression is in remission", because I think it better acknowledges how it's possible for it to come back, and that the wise thing is to be watchful.

[@Hyena-Princess]

"Nah you have to pay me 150 bucks an hour..." dang XD That's too real man too real XD

[@kosmickitten_au4550]

Kosmo once again Smashing it out of the park with another track. Kosmo always has the best ideas. I recently bought Zeepkist because of Kosmo's track design and as a track designer in other games i accepted the challenge.

[@phatstax9765]

Hey kosmo, i would really really like to thank you for this, this is my first time to comment on your videos ever and i wish i could truly convey my appreciation to you for this amazing video and metaphor that you have created today, i am not doing well at the moment with my mental health and this.... this helped me so much today, to be able to stay strong enough to make it through today, that what im going through at the moment isnt the end, that things will get better, truly thank you so much cosmo ❤❤❤❤❤

[@ampstudios4169]

There’s another metaphor in this track. Depression is especially harder for people with other mental disorders such as adhd because sometimes you need to slow down and look at the bigger picture/do stuff slowly and adhd brain doesn’t like that.

[@simsom4343]

As someone who is depressed, humor is the best way to handle it and deal with it, so imo you should never have to apologize for joking about it My belief is that the people who get offended by depression jokes are people who use their depression as their personality, so by insulting depression they feel personally attacked, I guess

[@jknMEMES]

The fact that someone named "invisible" got a time 4 seconds faster than others, really makes me believe they used the invisible path.

[@Stryker14k]

You've simultaneously made a good metaphor for depression and suicide 🙃 I cope by making dark jokes and my goodness this intro.

[@kylebuckley90]

Kosmo, that was beautiful. Depression is not easy to explain but your metaphor is pretty spot on. Thank you

[@xyex]

"You guys don't leave your house much, do you?" Don't worry Kan, I get the same reactions, lmao. I had to go out today and I had 3 people from my building say something similar. I'm a very introverted individual so I don't socialize much, so they don't see me often.

[@brianlance]

pretty happy with my 0:21 time on this one. Never found the invisible track, but was still able to get through it several times.

[@klikklak6099]

I like how he said everyone has gone through depression that is true also I believe the same thing with anxiety we all have it

[@SirMegaManNeoX]

I've learned depression is a way for our body to hype up joy when we find it... I REALLY wish it'd stop that...

[@jbrandomclips6175]

Wooow thats deep bro I like the meaning you put behind the creation.🙏

[@nathanaelross5166]

[@darealkosmo]

Thank you Nathanael! I'm sorry I didn't reply earlier, KZbin doesn't make it very obvious when someone sends you a Super Thanks :(

[@ericbonanno5214]

So long story short, I had a traumatic event happened in my life (which will be a year ago on dec. 6th) that actually put me in this state of grief and depression to the point where I couldn't eat a single thing for over a week straight until I started counseling. Anyways, I just wanted to say that after going though something like that, the jokes makes me laugh even harder cause of how true they are. 🤣🤣🤣
