A video about Immortality! And the power of music!!

If you can, I really encourage you to watch this one on Nebula because there are *many* things that had to be removed to make it work for youtube.

Yess! Immortality is one of the most ambitious games I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing, and I'm happy you put out a video on it!

Tom DAlba

Is anyone else allowed to watch free on nebula? I created a brand new account but it won't let me watch anything without a subscription

Ryan Busby

Will this be uploaded elsewhere after it's uploaded on YouTube? It won't let me watch on Nebula for free at all and I don't have the money for a sub

André Valgrande

I'm with you all, any instructions on watching the first video for free would be appreciated.

I don't know what this says about me, but the fact that I saw 10:21 and immediately knew it was also in your Deathloop video. Yeah, most of your work still affects every fiber of my very being.

AndreGG

Does it help if we watch it in youtube and nebula? :D

Lanth

Having watched it on Nebula, I'm kind of tempted to go watch it on youtube just to see what 30 seconds actually made it there

Robert Secundus

Really, really excellent work as always. I'm just adding a minor Lore Note here-- not sure if it would change or complicate your reading, but thought it might be worthwhile just in case you missed it-- in the video you talk about The One seeming to be worn down over time, and you talk about the import of us witnessing her death. There's something else going on that causes her to grow ill, and there's a discovery she makes about the deaths of their kind. I'm trying to speak in vague terms to avoid spoilers, but if you haven't found that stuff yet (and I apologize if you have and just cut that stuff for space/ cut it because it didn't significantly affect your reading), just know there are more details there to uncover.

I went and played the game between today and yesterday in order to watch this video. I'm annoyed by how many scenes it looks like I missed lol. Thanks for making this video! I wouldn't have played this game without it. I also just booted up the game to see what spoiler-y menu option you blurred out in the menu... it was your gamertag

Sara Aguilar

Fantastic work! I've only watched the YouTube version since I don't have Nebula but I immediately thought of three things: One is the concept of legacy in aging and how this is achieved in many ways, art being one. The last two are some of my favorite quotes I've ever read. The first quote is from the end of Oliver Sacks' final Op-Ed for the NYTimes "My Own Life"- "I have loved and been loved; I have been given much and I have given much in return; I have read and traveled and thought and written. I have had an intercourse with the world, the special intercourse of writers and readers." Finally, this quote from Ted Chiang's Exhalation- "It cheers me to imagine that the air that once powered me could power others, to believe that the breath that enables me to engrave these words could one day flow through someone else’s body. [...] And whether or not your brain is impelled by the air that once impelled mine, through the act of reading my words, the patterns that form your thoughts become an imitation of the patterns that once formed mine. And in that way I live again, through you."

Hey Jacob, I just wanted to let you know that I'm a huge fan of your work- I listen to them at work all the time and they never fail to make me laugh or smile or be emotional, so thank you for all of this, I'm a proud supporter now!

Wawro

It's been too long that I've enjoyed your work without supporting. I find myself returning (ahem) to the Returnal video often. This was such an excellent critique and analysis and personal essay, I had to commit to suppoting you. Please keep up this work in any way you can.

Dang Nguyen

Can I just say also — as a Vietnamese person who was wildly uncomfortable and horrified at how Lindsay Ellis was treated but wasn’t on Twitter at the time to defend her, I hugely respect your solidarity with her. She is a lady of wisdom and distinction, and deserves a long and fulfilling career.

AndreGG

I honestly couldn't empathize with any of them, because they killed people and took over their lives :/ Maybe that's why they could never create art? Because everything they had was stolen?
