I think in every world where I play OneShot, I could never make Niko not break the lightbulb and keep them from their mama, nor could I ever replay it. Niko feels real to me, I believe they are in their own world, growing up and holding what they knew of me and the unfamiliar world they explored in their mind.
I feel like I can write a comment that is multiple pages long about the quality of this video. First of all, the editing, sound quality and custom graphics are amazing, the script is phenomenal, I loved the sudden transition from the VHS tape to Real life commentary (kinda reminded me of the OneShot to OneShot solstice run changeup, if that was intentional, then I am even more impressed). Back to the point of my commnet, ignoring the video quality and just talking about the things you said and the way you said them you are absolutely correct and relatable. I almost never leave comments like this, and coming from a fellow small creator who also made a OneShot video essay (Although, do not bother watching it as it is in Serbian) named OneShot - The value of life and hope, I will tell you to never be discouraged to make videos like this because of a small viewership as your video was amazing and unique! Looking at your subcount and viewcount I was shocked to see how small it was, and this is the only video of yours I saw. You have an amazing style, editing and writing skills and you have earned yourself a sub, I hope to see more from you as I had to close other things I was doing in the background just to give my full focus to this video (that is how good it was!). You also nailed the part where you said that video essay writers always talk about themselves midway through a video, as I did in this comment haha. TL:DR Do not look at the views, do not let bad luck with PC components stop you and continue on. Your video quality has to get you noticed! And even if it does not, you at least impressed one random internet stranger enough to write this out :)
Thank you very much, your words are incredibly kind. :) I'm glad you felt the human part of this video, although I'm planning on not making anything this personal for a *long* time now. If you ever happen to get English subtitles for your videos, let me know and I would love to watch your essays. If I happen to learn Serbian first, I'll be sure to watch your videos right after. ;)
Don’t know if you know this, but originally you would kill Niko if you closed the game. Thats why the game closes when you sleep, it was the only way to close the game safely.
Yeah, great point. That was originally part of the script (I had a whole section related to death) but I felt the script was too heavy and existentialist already. It ended up getting cut. Nevertheless, I'm glad you bring it up here.
Masterfully written Tweed. I thoroughly enjoed it and how one small game, can help showcase entire feelings. Enjoyed chatting with you in your streams, and I look forward to watching more of these video essays.
I haven't caught a stream in a long while, but I have been getting into watching video essays a lot more so I'm looking forward to seeing what else you put out here! Thanks for the memories, on to the next
@@WISP_PRIME I felt nothing but honestly now that i think of it breaking the sun is the right choice because the entire world is disfunctional and works on a fucked up cycle of sacrificing children from other worlds to replace a lightbulb.
the title "oneshot & letting go" makes it feel like im taking grief counceling and trying to cope with loss.
Which i am.
I miss Niko.

Here’s to a new era of whatever comes next!

@@WISP_PRIMEThe game had me on the verge of tears the entire time and the ending left me crying for like an hour
