Minecraft, But It's Just A Burning Memory

The last part is called terminal lucidity, it's when everything the patient (or in this case the player) remembers everything before death. It's kinda scary really, imagine you remembered everything but in the next second you're gone :(.

[@LonnyH]

I've been working with a patient who had a stroke that has seemed to set his dementia into motion. I don't work directly in his memory care, but talking to him, he knew he was starting to forget things. He was a retired attorney. Very smart, well spoken, and had a calmness to him that showed he was used to being in control of things. He'd forget that he'd spoken to me the day prior, he couldn't get some simple words off the tip of his tongue, he'd misunderstand very simple instructions (how to press the call light). His memory therapy involved writing down what he did that day, and you can tell he really tried. Had pages full of stuff for each day. He regressed as the weeks went on. He couldn't find the word "pain" in his head to tell us he was hurting. He asked for my name 3 times in one conversation. He thought we were lying to him and always wanted everything to be approved by his wife first - but then he'd forget that we'd already spoken to her. And he loved to argue, but it was always nonsensical. He'd sit and think really hard about what he wanted to say, and then he'd cry when he couldn't get it. He had a spinal surgery and was given a morphine pump and quickly grew hooked on it. In 8 weeks he went from a respectable, established, retired professional to a man lost in his head, crying over literally losing his mind, screaming for pain medicine, and not being able to see the only person he trusts due to COVID restrictions. You see a lot of sad things working in hospitals, and you learn to wall yourself off from your emotions. Tbh I often found myself more annoyed than sympathetic toward him. But every once in a while, I have a case that gets to me. That one got to me a little.

[@bootysnatcher9263]

Oh god that sounds horrible

[@CODA96]

This is a horrifying thought, and the same thought that always travels through my mind. Your memory is where your soul/true self is located. If you forget yourself, you die. You are someone else now, it doesnt matter if you still have the same body. Your memory of your life is gone, its as if you are already dead. To be confronted with these horrifying cases day by day is why i could never work in a hospital, but i respect the people that can. On a more positive note: For receiving such a generous gift as your life, you always pay with death in the end. Even life costs a certain currency, and that is death. You just pay back what has been given to you, its all a fair process.

[@lilsmuggles7245]

That sounds awesome to work in that line of employment, though sometimes sad the mind and body can do very drastic things it baffles me

[@mysterioushawk2171]

I'm sorry to hear that, though not related but it sorta reminds me of myself. Not in this way but rather a nother. So I for long lacked empathy for people, more in the sense that their emotions truly didn't matter to me, more than anything I used to see stuff through analysing it and put values to it and on top of that being Bullied at school for my odd "clownish behaviour" didn't help either. It actually kinda made things worse on my part of trying to understand others more, stuff kept their pace until one day one of my friend came to me in. Hurry and said she wanted to talk to me, what she said will remain a secret as she so asked but I'll say that it probably was sensitive. She was crying to me about her problems and I was just there unfazed, I didn't know how to react I felt bad but didn't know how to show so I tried to give her reasons and solutions as to how her problems can be fixed ,it helped her but after that I was the one who was feeling lost. So I too know how it feels to be lost, it's wierd, sometimes you're happy then sad then angry and upset, overall just not well, in my case I was questioning my own self as to why can't I just empathize like others do, I always thought it was because of me being an introvert until one day I told my parents about it and then they took me to a phycologist, and after days of being tested I got diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome. Now I'm 18 and next year I'll be graduating from high school . The point is that hadn't it been for Y + X= Z I would never have become the person I am today, as I learned more and more about my condition I got introduced to a lot of things, one of them being drawing, and 2 years after I started drawing I got into multiple art competitions and other stuff, ( and a lot more ) . Though it may seem as though your job is hard but on the other hand you truly are doing people with problems a great solace, without people like I may have never become the person that I am today, All and all, it's all about give and take, we give support to take comfort or love in exchange for love. Work for improvement and improve for easier care. At least that's how I feel about it, it's like a reaction that needs to be fufiled in anyway there really is. And your task although stressful but quite essential for everyone, and I thank you for it. Thank you for your service and hopefully I wasn't mean in anyway😀 take care .

Watching this gave me such mix signals of fear, but also grief. I had a grandfather on my moms side. He was a great man, he volunteered to fight in Vietnam, and when he came back home, he was so hurt by what he saw, he turned to drinking, and would abuse my mom and my aunt (physically). I never knew he existed untill I was about 7. My mom was driving him to a new nursing home, and she also had to pick me up from a birthday party. I was a shy kid and I was always told to stay away from strangers. He would ask me questions about myself like I’d known him my whole life. A year and a half ago, I learned more about him, and I found out he’d been diagnosed with dementia. My mom even though she resented him, she still cared about him. And my dad never wanted me around him, but for a little while he would call us and we would say hi, and he would be the nicest man in the whole world. One day, my dad told us that he wanted us to get out of the house for a little while. He took us to Dave and busters, played some arcade games and had a blast. I came back home to see my mom pouring with tears. I hugged her and she told me, my grandpa Bruce had died. So much was going through my mind. She told me how they sang his favorite Irish song before he died. I wish I had gotten to know him better, I wish I knew my grandad. Now that I’m slightly older now, I like to think that, in those final few months, he didn’t remember the hate, and the grief he had to go through, and he was the man my mom had known for those few years. I now had recently found out that my non biological grandfather (who I consider to be my real grandad) has dementia. And I’m so afraid, and I’ve been trying so hard to get know him as well as I can. I love him too much and I’m scared he’s gonna be gone just like my grandpa Bruce. If you’ve just read this whole thing I’m sorry for just emotion dumping. This video made me just feel so much and I had to get it out. Thank you for this

[@angelsanchez6028]

I never tought I would ever see such a serious topic portrayed so perfectly by minecraft, or any other game for that matter. My grandma suffered from dementia for 20 years until the day she passed. It was hard for the whole family, there was fighting and sacrifice she was completely oblivious of. It tore her kids apart from one another. I feel guilty sometimes, when she passed last year, I didn't say goodbye, I stood there by her bed just watching her and reflecting on how much the whole family had waited for that moment. I felt relief that she would finally rest, and relief that we all would rest too. I was tired of seeing her scream in horror whenever someone she didn't know got into her room, we heard those screams everyday, she was scared and confused and just wanted to go home to a place she recognized. I can't even begin to imagine how awful that must feel, And to struggle like that for over 10 years... She deserved more. But we also did. I don't miss her, she was never good to me but, I can only move towards forgiving her. Slowly, but one day I will. Dementia and alzheimer are bad. Really bad. For the family, for the patient, the caretakers. I really wouldn't wish that over anyone. Most people fear being a burden, and living with someone with dementia is the definition of a burden, as much as you love them, they stop being themselves after years, they're no longer the person you knew and loved, they're not there anymore. It's an empty vessel. Most people don't live long enough to get to that stage, but my grandma was unlucky, she lived year after year after year and suddenly her health plummeted and she was gone in a couple days. I'm sorry this got so dark, and probably someone else who has seen this first person will disagree with me about their experience. I just had to vent a little bit about my own experience.

Another 1 of them was labeled ‘the good old days’ and how it lead to a dull grey, meaning that he could not remember anything from the time when he felt the most alive... the time when he could still remember. The last one was labeled ‘tommorow’ which was led to nothing, symbolizing that he does not have anything to do the following day, or rather, he does not remember what he wanted to do the next day. And the last part where he was walking down the long hallway, it started with a dull grey colour with represents nothing and how it eventually built up to something. This ‘something’ shows how his dementia was eventually lifted from him and how the same flower the girl gave him at the start was potted in each pot and his achievements he accomplished during his ‘good old days’ but this hallway is eventually ended with a bed and a chest, which he would put his belongings in, showing the things he truly cared about, would not be carried with him to his afterlife, or in this case, his last sleep. When he passes out, we were able to see his last thoughts were about his friends, the few people who truly were able to brighten his day, even though it would for just that one day, he was grateful for them trying to provide him with the greatest comfort they could

Despite being an athiest I completely understand those who are religious, such as Christians. I mean, it'd be harder to fear your death if you believe that there will be a heaven, or something waiting for you, where you can meet your loved ones. Honestly I both love, and hate the idea of immortality. Blessed with living forever, but cursed with having to see countless people die infront of you, and no way to stop it other than isolating yourself. Which I find ironic, as those who dream of immortality often feel like it would be a route to stopping time- yet it doesnt.

Something that gets me, as someone who works with people with dementia in various stages, is the searching. Often they're searching for something. They have an "unmet need" and want to find a solution, but they don't know how to express it. Dementia doesn't just take memory. It takes speech, comprehension, and even vision. People in advanced stages often wander, asking for loved ones who are long gone ("when is my husband going to be here?" "Do you know where my mother is?"). After working there for a while, you become familiar to them. They may believe you're their child, grandchild, sometimes even spouse or parent. Not because you resemble the lost loved one, but because you're *there* and you're comparatively permanent and, in some capacity, familiar. It's painful, having someone many many times your age call you "mama" but you just roll with it. You answer their questions to the best of your ability, maybe get them to talk about their experiences or join the group activity. But these are temporary measures. They pacify for a short time. But these things are in an attempt to make living through this -iving through the end of their lives - more comfortable.

[@renoahsprings]

It sounds like your patients a kid again. They forget what knowledge they have earned with the passing years so they cling to the thing they had by them in the past, with the inability to see that the ones they love are long gone.

At first, when I saw this I didn't see that it was about dementia. I took it in an entirely separate way. It's odd, how 1 thing can have 2 separate meanings to 2 different people. I thought it was the loss of that "spark" of Minecraft, of childhood, of any sense of direction in your life. The slowly corroding and fading home of a once vibrant and wonderful present became a dull and passing past. How night was always another step closer, and how doors kept closing. The memories of that game and those people who filled your life with such joy are gone. The glory days are over. I genuinely teared up thinking this was the meaning. How everything was being lost and becoming a dull gray. I know when I think back I look at the days and memories past, memories I will never relive. I also look back at the years I think were robbed from me. The experiences I should've had, the growth that should've been much more colorful, but instead, I can't remember the past year and a half of my life. The years where I'm finally supposed to become myself. (I didn't want to make this about Rona, trust me, but while writing this I made the connection that it is for that very reason I've felt dull the past while.) I was supposed to travel with friends and keep making that infamous year the best in my life. Now I have college and adulthood looming over me. However, such as the end of this video, it all sort of comes back, you get out of it, I did. I look back at those years- both the ones growing up enjoying Minecraft, and the one I felt was robbed from me- with a sense of happiness. Happiness that I got what I did. Those late nights enjoying myself with people thousands of miles away, and those days of laughing at lunch, and singing the national anthem on a cold and rainy football game. I got to live those days, but they're over. Now I have new endeavors, now I'm living a new life. Freshman me from 2020 and Minecraft me from before then are gone, those kids lived their life and have moved on. Now it's my turn to carry on what they started.

You got this Matt, I know how it feels man. I went through my college through the whole pandemic and now I’ve suddenly been thrust into the work force. It feels like it moves really fast and came out of nowhere, I can’t help but look back and see all the old memories I’ll never experience again. From playing with my friends on the play ground to playing games with my friends after school while our moms talked, and ultimately just that glow of not having to worry about bills, work, my purpose as a person. For me I took it very much the same way, just that loss of childhood and coming to terms with that. The adult world is scary and there are days that I question if I’m ready for it and if I’m cut out for it. Its hard, it’s really hard, but even though all of those warm happy memories can’t be relived, they still walk with me and remind me that I can still enjoy life and things aren’t as grey as they seem.

Before I start, I want you to know one thing: this broke something in me. While my grandfather doesn't understand Minecraft or video games or any of this, he does have Dementia and Parkinson's. It has been very hard to watch him deteriorate over these last 6 years, but my family and I have been there with him every step of the way. Now, while this video is only 4 minutes long, I can assure you that this is almost exactly how it has gone over the years, but we can only guess at so much of how he is doing in his own head. He isn't at the point anymore where he can effectively tell us what he thinks or how he is feeling. And to see what it is like from his point of view... it hurts to think that this is what it is like to be trapped in your own head, knowing that something isn't right, but also not knowing why you know. I want to congratulate you on everything, from the design to the transitions to the overall meaning and execution.

It took me a while to realize a lot of things, how the dogs collar changed colors as he walked through the doors: that all the xp he got represented what level of dementia he was in, how scary it was to lose everything by… you, yourself, in a month or week. The thought of losing my memories haunt me, I never rlly thought a world where you could travel endlessly can tear me up, that all the time I spent with everyone could just become meaningless. I’m not really scared of death because… it will happen, but dementia? That something else, a prison of memories that doesn’t make sense, a world that is full of questions but no answers. I’ve been pretty fearless, but… It’s scary, trapped in a loop that won’t end no matter what. It’s very very scary, I can’t even find words for it, terrifying, a never ending nightmare… I can’t imagine what people with dementia feels and see. I’m just out of words… I can go on and on about how terrifying it is but we all know that. A sad image of a hospital that is black and white, even your name simply, a life so full just gone, missing. How the first level is like the memories of the “good ol days” and… level 6? Like… A infinite ocean with a dark mist around blocking your view with big waves… but one exit that is… somewhere I guess. It’s probably worst than that but that’s my guess… this video portrays dementia greatly, I thought I was going to be a meme or smth lol… but I was wrong, very wrong.

Stage 1 - The house is as it should be.

Stage 3 - More confusion, more missing-ness, different dog, and you take a quick moment to recognise even yourself. Stage 4/5/6 - Memory is unpresent anymore, the house is unfamiliar, it’s all gone. Finale - It all comes back to you for a moment, your friends, your achievements, your recognisability. And just as soon as it comes back, it fades away.

So basically, you and others should always be active with your brain, eldery or not, everyone always has a chance of getting dementia, even on the lowest chances.

Back in the days I felt like I'm not afraid of dementia, at all. Because my family has generic dementia, and I knew that one day, just one day, it will eventually come to me. Years later, I went to the hospital. I have been diagnosed with dementia. All my "mental preparations" I have done, all my prays and hopes and dreams, they would shatter in a million pieces. It's hard to describe the feeling you had in that moment. When it finally comes to you, no matter what you've done, you just couldn't take it. I had tears up in my eyes. I never let them dropped. I didn't speak a word. I was in my car on the way home. All I had in my mind is, Why? Why me? Why does it has to come so early in my life? Suddenly, I was in my room. I don't know how, I don't know why. What's happening in the middle, I don't know, and I won't know. Anxiety struck. It struck hard. I put a camera recording my room. What I saw is truly heartbreaking. Whenever I suddenly lost my memory again, I would go ahead and check the videos. I felt like I was watching another person. I didn't pick up that key on the floor. I didn't fold that towel. I didn't read that book. Or did I? The video tells me I did, but my brain just won't let me recall it. I just don't have the footage in my mind, no matter how hard I think. I am watching memories that doesn't belong to my memory. It's like a lost puzzle of my memory, but I just couldn't shove it back in where it was. It belongs to there but it don't. I won't let that happen in my life. I won't let go of my life. I started training my memories and try to get them back. I'm starting to participate in speech competitions. When I'm memorising the texts, out of a surprise, I didn't forget them the next day. I would think that I saved myself. My heart was like released from a death sentence. But, that's when things struck hard. Real hard. The day of competition, I was in my class, rehearsal the speeches in my mind. I felt like I was ready. I went to the toilet, and the next second I was on stage. It's like you had a nightmare, and suddenly woke up to reality. How did I go from toilet to the stage, I don't know. I forgot what did I say on the stage and which part of the speech I am in. I tried to restart the whole script, read it all over again. And the feeling hit again. My head was empty. I spent so much time and effort perfectly memorising each and every word, and now I had zero image about any of it. I don't even remember the title of it. I was on the stage. Anxiety struck. It struck hard. I said, "I'm sorry, thank you." Then walked off the stage. Everybody is not looking, but staring at me. He was performing smooth and well a second ago, why did everything suddenly went down? My feelings were indescribable. Dementia, once again, like a katana, cleanly sliced through my hope. On the way home, I felt real, real down. I felt like I can see the world is gray. My anxiety and sadness built up to a level I can't comprehend anymore. I had a really bad headache, I passed out. I woke up on the hospital, and tragedy struck again. I was told that I had brain cancer. Not the worse one but still, I can't speak a word. Why does all that have to happen on me? I started writing lots and lots of really long texts about my good old times. I'm so, so, so, so, so afraid of losing any of them, but it's happening. It's painful. I really wanna keep them forever. I'm writing down each and every thing I can remember. My best buddies. My old times where you don't even know what depression is. I didn't know my writing skills are actually something, that's because I haven't tried, just like many other things I didn't got to do in my life. I woke up in my room. Starring at the ceiling. I asked myself, "Why was my room painted blue?" Then I burst into tears. I have Trypophobia. Those tiny holes, they might just be what my decaying memory looks like. The day's still passing by, and my life would still go on. If you gave me a choice, I'd rather start a new life right now. But still, I have no regrets meeting you and Zack in my life. I might be forgetting what my room looks like, I might be forgetting what you looks like, And one day, I might finally forget how to breathe, in that moment, I hope I can went through all my lost memories, even in a split second. I will forget the years of pains. By that moment, I will be walking towards the end of me, smiling, if I didn't forget how to smile. My friend had dementia. I asked him what it feels like to have dementia after watching this vid. I thought I was a tough guy until I read this text he sent me.

[@Jalbesbe]

One of the main issues is that even from a young age you are used to things just fading out of memory. Things you did a week ago suddenly just don't exist anymore and things you once love you suddenly just have no interest in and can't remember why you ever did. So if you get dementia you don't even realize it because you're so used to many of these symptoms being just common place. At least that's been my experience not with dementia but just life, suddenly taking a semester off of school and suddenly not being able to remember the last year and what you learned in those past three semesters that seemed so important at the time. So I can see how it's really easy to not realize it's happening even if your mind was willing to.

[@RobotBotRo]

I never thought one of the best ways to portray the theme of “Everywhere at the End of Time.” Each faded change to each loop is so subtle, and are each perfect. The fact that one friend disappears each time is sad, but a great detail. The ending with the friends seen as the the person with dementia fades away was a great way to end it, and really hit me hard. Dementia is scary, and you’ve captured it’s essence perfectly. Well Done indeed.

[@m6gnum684]
