I imagine I will have stuff like this every once and awhile. I had a big piece planned for the end of 2019 that was going to be a look at the games that changed my life over the past decade, but I realized it was far too big of an idea to get done in the time I had, and also that it would be more effective as separate pieces (so that is where this piece came from along with some of the ideas that ended up in the Minecraft for Non-Gamers). So, I have a bunch of outlined ideas that I was going to talk about in that video that I might turn into future videos if I feel the inspiration for it. Like, in this, I allude to my experiences with both SotC and Journey, and I have far more to say about my time with both games, so I am sure I will get to that at some point. With all of that said, I mostly am just trying to follow where inspiration takes me. Right now I have been having a lot of fun with the Gaming For A Non-Gamer stuff and also just following random ideas when I play a game (for example, The Link's Awakening video was not something I planned--I just replayed it and liked it and wanted to talk about it). Either way, I hope you enjoy whatever ends up being next.

This video meant so much to me. I’ve been disabled for about a year and a half. Lately I’ve found myself so distant and being so hard on myself. Wondering why my wife and son deserved a disabled father. This video made me realize that you truly can’t save he galaxy in one day. I may not be able to do everything but I can be a father and husband. I can’t save the galaxy in one day but I can save myself my wife or my son one day at a time. I can be the best version of myself for them. Thank you. I really needed this. You blessed my life in more ways than you’ll ever know today.

YO SAME LOL, this is the part which made me love the game, but tbh i want you to warn spoilers for your comment. it isn't the song which awed me, it's the surprise, the possibility of being able to do that which i didn't even think about. and i want newer players to be able to have the same experience.

“- I play a game at the exact time I need to have played it” Funnily enough, this video seems to have come at the exact time when I needed a video like this - as someone going through a similar transitionary phase, I’m in a space and mindset where things are being drawn to the forefront of my awareness and, thus, a rampant need to understand, question and quantify aspects of my life. It’s exhausting, because, being biased towards emotions of nostalgia, leaves me in a tired state of stating ‘things used to be so simple’ - worrying about things that I never used to engage in, existential challenges to my life direction and, consequently, purpose. I’ve been so caught up in this future mindset and image of self that I’ve held myself back for so many years. Despite all that, it’s okay, and this video is, ultimately, another reminder that we all have to look to the present to inform our futures, rather than constantly agonising over our future or past. Just like saving the galaxy, or building Rome, our futures are not written in a day, and that’s okay. I’m still grappling with this concept, after years of struggle with mental health problems, but the horizon has never looked clearer. A very thought provoking video, one that speaks to my present, and also illustrates the importance of experiences like this and the sharing of them. Thanks for sharing your experience!

Like a lot of comments I've read, this seems to have hit pretty close to home. Late last year, I was really struggling with why my life isn't where I thought it would be 4 years ago. Why I'm not in the middle of the career I set forth to conquer, where I had so much ambition and passion and drive. Moments like this, where I hear messages such as the one you've conveyed in your video, I'm reminding that life is ever changing, and whereas the flow of the river is always forward, sometimes it branches off and starts something new. It goes down a path you didn't know existed, nor did you know you even needed to go down that way. As I sit here in a life I never dreamed of, I can't even imagine it being different. Getting to where I am isn't where I thought I wanted to be, but it sure feels like it's where I need to be right now. And like you've said... That's okay. Thank you for your video! I've only seen this and your other video about having your wife playing a handful of games for the first time (which I showed my girlfriend and let me tell you how parallel that was to us), but with only those two, you've got another sub. I'm excited to peruse your video history and see what you've in store from here on out. Cheers.

I know this will probably get eaten up within all the other comments, but I just wanted to let you know that this video honestly has really become a comfort to me. It's been a year since you made it and I watched it, but I keep going back to it to listen when I'm in a bad spot or on tough days. It honestly has really helped me feel better and reminded me that any progress is good progress and that I don't need to worry about being able to do everything all the time. Your videos are making a difference, whether that's through just an enjoyable watch/listen to a comfort like this one. So thank you for that. :)

Being a responsible adult and member of society and "growing up" are two completely different things in my opinion. Always keep that childlike wonder with you, always be willing to and excited to sometimes walk through the toy aisle at the store and bring home some dumb shit you don't need but you can afford now because you make your own money. Most importantly don't worry about what other people might think. People worth knowing will like, and love, you for who you are when you are being 100% true to yourself anyone who doesn't, is just a background NPC that is irrelevant.

Shadow of the Colossus wants you to dive into it and it wants to touch something inside you rather than giving you bars to fill and items to loot and craft.

I can relate to some of your worry... I recently (well, in early 2019, so not THAT recent) was basically forced to abandon my chemistry PhD and I had been planning to be a scientist since I started taking physics and chemistry classes in high school in 2007. Partially this happened becuase of factors out of my control (PhD advisor quit, basically) but the main reason is that the life of a researcher is not at all what I thought and it's really not how I wanted to live. But I've spent the whole time since then job searching, not knowing what kind of job I can get (apparently none), and not even knowing what kind of job I WANT. I keep telling myself "focus on that even though you have no money or job, your parents are still being supportive, they let you move back in, you aren't being turned into the street" but it's hard to focus on that after failing to achieve even a basic entry level job offer for a year

@samc9516

@iammaxhailme This is almost exactly my situation. I completed my chemistry masters degree in mid 2018 but my research project had put me off a life of chemistry so I decided I wasn't going to apply for PhDs or any chemistry lab-based jobs, and now I'm in the same boat as you with no idea what else I want to do or if I'd even be qualified for things now I've abandoned chemistry, taking up a temporary stop-gap basic job for 2019. And my parents have done the same for me as yours have too which I am grateful for. It is hard to find a direction when the old one wasn't what you wanted, it's hard to commit to something new when you worry you might grow apart from it (like chemistry/research), it's hard when you want to want something but you don't know what that would be... But we will find something eventually. This may not suit you but based on our similarities so far, maybe consider space/aviation industry jobs or air traffic control? That's what I'm pursuing at the moment - not things I'd ever considered until after my degree. If they're not right for you and you're still stuck for finding what you really want, try to consider the things that interest you in any way and research if there is any jobs to do with that interest you could pursue. Just for the short term, my advice would be to persevere for those basic jobs because getting that really gives you a morale boost and fills some time and gives some money. And after a break from thinking about what you want long term it might clear your head and give you some motivation or inspiration like it has for me (and now I'll see where it leads me!). After all, you can't save the galaxy in a day.

"I got so caught up in what could happen, that I forgot to focus on what was happening." I can't explain how much that sentiment resonates

Outer Wilds reminded me of what I love so much about games. Sometimes all the buggy releases and predatory monetization of what is now a very profitable market can distract us from the fact that there are still games being made that make us wonder; games that respect the player; games that take us on a personal journey of self reflection and growth. But mostly games that make us feel like a kid again. Outer Wilds gave me that feeling, and for that it will always hold a special place.

I can relate been having this mindset for awhile

I really appreciate your videos, and I really... really appreciate how you put the clip of What Remains of Edith Finch in this. That’s the most recent game that I’ve played that has truly impacted me. Especially that story- it felt like the game was breaking the fourth wall and telling me that, while putting off the worries of the world temporarily can be refreshing, it’s always a balance. I love your videos, and I think they provide a raw sense of getting to know the life of people (like yourself) instead of just getting to know the act that people decide to put on. That’s lacking on KZread nowadays. Keep being you, and you’ll always have the right people in your corner.

After watching this video, I no longer feel the pit in my stomach when listening or thinking about outer wilds. "You can't save the galaxy in a day" is gonna be my new life motto. Whenever I feel like I'm not getting anything done that can help me, I can remember this quote and just do what I can in the moment.

This video is so so so good. So much good philosophy, such a wonderful message. Beautifully written, Razbuten. Well done

I work a pretty mundane part time job while attempting to build my content creation career. I've been doing fine but I obviously don't make a ton of money. Having to move put a ton of pressure on my shoulders and I began to wonder if I could ever make this work. Maybe I should give up and start doing something with more financial stability. But I love doing it and its fine to take things one step at a time and to pursue things that make me happy. I have to remember to actually live.

Hey, thank you for making this. Me and my partner are going through some really hard times, and we’ve both been under immense pressure, along with genuine fear for the future. This video helped me take a step back from our current situation and realize that it’s okay not to have everything figured out; it’s okay to not have answers. It made me realize that me and my partner have been so caught up in trying to solve our problems that we forgot how to enjoy our lives, and appreciate what we have, and each other. So by the end of the video, I found myself crying, like really hard. I don’t think any other youtube video has made me cry before, but you’ve successfully done that with this video. I feel touched by this video the way I would by a song or a passage from a book. Once again, thank you for making this. I’m going to show this to my partner when they get home from work.

I really relate to this with starting college and moving away from family and feeling overwhelmed with feeling as though my life is changing too fast and feeling unable to slow it down. I feel overwhelmed and anxious all the time but sometimes I need to take a step back and relax

In retrospect, holy mackerel was this released at an auspicious moment for this type of message.

"I can do it alone" "Well, ok but the thing is... you don't have to", this used to be my favourite quote, but "You can't save the galaxy in a day, and that's ok" might be my new one. As a med student i wonder everyday if i'm doing enough, i stress that and study more and of course that's good, but it's also good for you to know that you can't do everything right now. There's 6 years + specialization for a reason. What we don't understand right away in phisiology, or can't keep remembering, will be hammered the years after in other subjects that go more into specifics. Focus on your next exam, the big picture will come later. And experience will come as well, nobody expects you to know everything on the first day, it's good enough to be able to follow and understand as you go.

I feel you brother, thanks for sharing!

Its funny that the lesson you got out of Outerwilds was that you can't save the galaxy in a day. The lesson I ended up learning was that everyone dies and not everyone can be saved, but the goal was never to save everyone. What mattered was the relationships made with them. To appreciate everything in life, because the galaxy will end, and it cant be changed. The lesson I learned was to appreciate life, yours and others, because it isn't forever.

6:11 I call it new world blues so blinded by a potential future that you ignore the present

I have this downloaded on the YT app so I can rewatch it every now and then. This is absolutely beautiful. Thank you. This video never fails to give me clarity and footing into the present whenever I need it. Again, thank you.

It's been 2 whole years since I first saw this video. I still have it saved in my account and it's still literally my favorite video on KZread. Thanks again, Raz!

This was a beautiful video, man. Thank you for making it, I needed it.

Every time I tried to tell someone about Outer Wilds and people thought I meant The Outer Worlds, I would be more and more disappointed. How did such an amazing game fly so low under the radar? Personally, I blame the Epic Store. If it was on Steam, I could leave a positive review, or gift it to a friend. I could spread the good word. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to hand out pamphlets

It's kind of an unfortunate coincidence that a big studio and an indie dev would release two great games with similar titles in the same year. At least now you can send this video to your friends to spread the word

Well, you can still spread the word about it. I guess it is the same as nearly all the indie games. They don't get recognised that much, they don't have recourses for a marketing campaign. The only thing they have is the fanbase. That is why i got to know this game even exists, a fan wrote about how amazing this game is. The similar titles are a weird coincidence and when i first heard about Outer Wilds i was confused too, but i think it doesn't have much to do with its success.

I bought the outer world trying to buy this. Told the GameStop employee it’s the outer Wilds and she kept saying that game doesn’t exist...

I'm super excited for the merch! I especially love the minimalist design (just ordered a long sleeve)! Thanks for the great content and amazing insights, I'll do my best to support your channel!

I come back to this video quite often, I’m 19 and I just moved away from home, I’m starting college within the week and I’m struggling to find a job. I’m so incredibly stressed out about the future. Sometimes it makes me stressed about other things that I don’t need to be stressing about. Often I feel people don’t understand, not even the people I’ve grown up with, but I watch this video and I guess it just keeps me grounded. This video shows me I’m not alone, and sometimes I need that.

Wow this was a nice surprise. I discovered you through your more critical videos and instantly subscribed because of how gently outspoken you are, but this might be my favourite video of yours. I hear the message of the video a lot, but rarely does it leave an impact. Keep on keeping on and take care!

Dude I hope you read this. Your video, and the message within was amazing and touched me in a way not much of today's disposable media ever could. I got into your channel after watching you first video about 'the lady you live with' and found your commentary and insights both adorable and profound. Best of luck in all your future en-devours. I will be making sure to keep watching your content whenever i see it on youtube. And most of all, Thank you for sharing this lesson with us, your community. I have a feeling it will help many more people who also feel that overwhelming pressure to succeeded in this hectic rat race we call life. Humbly SubLime Green, a fan and follower of your channel.

Whelp, here I am again, I must’ve come back to this video thousands of times and it has helped me like nothing else. “You can’t save the galaxy in a day”has now become my own mantra when life gets tough and I know that you will never get to see this but thank you, Raz.

I've seen most of your videos multiple times, and this one always brings out tears with the delivery. Honestly, your doing brilliantly

I watch this at least once a month. Thanks again Razbuten

"you cant save the galaxy in a day" speedruners: watch me

A very beautiful and powerful message. Love the video as well as the channel all together. Keep on doing one thing at a time what ever makes you feel better at the time.

7 months ago I watched this video and realised I was doing the exact same thing, stressing about every situation and not living in the day. Now I've watched it again because I thought I needed a reminder.

This was the video I didn't know I needed. Thank you. I feel a bit less alone in my feelings now.

Well, first of all, I wasn’t expecting to cry this morning. Second, are we the same person?! Man, this resonated hard.

Interesting how this video came out right when I needed it, just like how you played the game right when you needed it. Thank you for this video. Very inspiring and eye opening.

Thank you for making this video so many years ago. It's one of those videos that I found at just the right time that I needed it. It's been my reminder every year or so that I need to step back and breath, and since then, it's become a part of me. This time, before even hearing the first few notes of Timber Hearth, I knew I needed to hear it again. Thank you so much, I can't wait to be back.

Man, I was just enjoying the video until about this point 5:52 And then, unexpectedly, I started tearing up. I felt like something in my chest, something heavy that until now I didn't even recognize, finally melt. Damn, I can't even write properly, dafuq Where is this comment going? Idk But thank you, Raz I really, deeply appreciate your work. Keep it up. Hugsies ;w;

You and Snoman release a new video at the exact same time

I rewatch this every few months and tear up every time. My life still isn’t even close to where I want it to be but I am better and still trying and it’s in large part due to this video so thank you

Thank you, I only just finished Outer Wilds and found it through your channel. It was an absolutely amazing experience and really helped me relax in times were I really couldn't. Amazing video :)

You can't spell "can't" without *can*

wow, i reallt related to this vid, it helped realize thing thanks for the video!

Bro, this is exactly what I needed. Thank you so much for sharing and I LOVE your outlook on life and video games. Please don't stop. Your content is top-tier.

This, this is why I subscribed. You have an amazing outlook on video games and you breath a life into them that I often lose sight of during the challenge of trying to win.

You’ll probably never see this, but I just wanted to say thank you. I’m at a point in my life where a lot’s changing, and there’s a lot more demanded of me. It feels overwhelming, and completely out of my control. I constantly stress about the future and what I need to do, or should be doing better. So I can’t tell you how good it felt to take a second to be present. To be okay with things being out of my control. I honest to god teared up. Thank you.

"You can't save the galaxy in a day" Not with that attitude you can't, son.

I really, really needed to hear this. I too am going through a particularly tough time in life, and for once found myself genuinely smiling while watching/listening and starting my day. It just might become my mantra, too. Thanks for all you do, keep up the great work :)

Every once and awhile, I watch a video at the exact time I need to watch it. Thank you Raz, I needed it!

Video is big epic p.s I could have gotten you High res no-hud footage, I did it for 8-bit bulldog

Thank you for making this beautiful work of art! Video games + personal stuff is such an interesting world to delve into and I think many of us completely relate to your experience with that.

Those 3 words. The 3 magic words I've been needing to hear all my life. The 3 words filled with so much warmth they bring me to tears every time I hear them. Every. Single. Time... And that's okay.

Your videos are pure gold. Every time you find something so insightful that I take for granted and never fully appreciate or realise that it's there. Whether it's not really using consumables, to appreciating video games as more than a game and as an art form to talking about life in general. Doing some exams atm and I kinda needed to hear that i can't save the galaxy in one day and setbacks are not only okay but guaranteed if not necessary to progress. Cheers, keep on posting

I absolutely loved this and would love to see more videos like it! What a wonderful and important lesson the game taught you!

This is by far one of your most thought provoking, candid videos. Honestly, it feels like I'm listening to an NPR special and the subject matter along with the way you portray it really hits home. I am surprised this video isn't one of your most viewed! Very well done, I will certainly recommend this for several people to enjoy. Cheers!

I come back and listen to this video from time to time, whenever I feel like I'm crumbling under the pressure, as a helpful reminder that no one can save the galaxy in one day.

All the stuff about watching the world fall apart has picked up even more, which is scary, but you make a really good point. This was very good. I'd love to see more. Love your channel keep up the awesome work.

This is my single favorite video on the internet. I come back to it every couple of months to reabsorb. Thanks so much for sharing your insights, they help me to feel so much less alone.

Here again. Thanks so much!

Okay I really have to thank you for this. You are able to put many the feelings that where bugging me for a long time in words. It hit me very hard but in a nice and relieving way. Thank you so much for this video. It made me cry so hard and it made happy. Thank you!

That hit...hard, my dude. I almost broke down into tears, because I've been dealing with so much crap. Nobody ever said anything about just....stopping for a moment. I absolutely needed that...

Thanks man... I really needed this. Been going through a rough patch worrying about everything and nothing. Made me cry.love you
