  4. With the general conversational questions like - "What do you listen to" or "What is your favourite game", I think most people have a pre-set answer for those and it doesn't change much, it is just an ice breaker to move on to more interesting topics or to find shared interests and ideas and connect better with the person. As with a lot of these questions, I usually state "everything pretty much", with just an emphasis on what comes to mind or what I can remember recently enjoying, this gives me the freedom to not stress about it but to be specific if I want to, but those questions can sometimes still take me by surprise.

  5. Bro is talking about morning andvis expecting me to ignore the absolute classic he is playing

  6. I relate so much to this, except I am 27 and haven't really had the awakening yet. It almost feels like I need a catalyst like yours laying in a hospital bed to wake me up. It's really hard, complacency is addicting and I simply miss my childhood but I know I can't cling onto it forever.

  9. I'm 35. In the last ~3 years, I've moved countries 2 times (bye russia, and f u) and got a new job, in the span of just last year I've more than tripled the amount of money I make and received proper temporary residence in a country where I live now. I provide for my mildly autistic wife who doesn't make enough to survive on her own, I feed my rescued animals, I am able to buy stuff well beyond just surviving, I have ppl to hang out with... And yet I feel so empty. I know exactly why that is too - I am not pursuing my creative dreams. I also kinda hate my day job, it's stressful because it's so disorganized and chaotic. I'm visiting a psychotherapist once in a while. I feel like I wouldn't be so miserable if I actually worked on my pet projects, but I never do, always find some kind of escape, hate myself for it afterwards. Tbh I'm also tired as f after work, and I do lots of extra hours too. Many people would envy my "privileged remote IT relocant" kind of life I guess, yet I actually hate it rn. I hate work, I hate how world works as a whole, I hate the war, there is so many things I hate. I wanna be a lazy techsupport who sleeps during night shifts again, but that guy would find it hard just surviving out there. There is responsibility. I hate it too. The worst thing isn't even a job. It's getting off shift and realizing you don't really have any purpose in life or things going on.

  11. this video is art, sometimes it might be hard to fully realize that it's a real person behind all this virtual text, but i'm a real person, watching a video you crafted with care and as you gain self-fulfilment from it, i want you to know that what you do, has had a fulfilling impact on another person sitting behind his computer, that would be me, having similar experiences in life as you do. i really want to express this as i thank you for sharing and applaud the effort you've put into these videos. you're doing a great job man!

  12. For a simple video that is under 3 minutes, this is exactly what I wanted to know. I stay pretty busy 6-7 days per week and train in powerlifting. Thank you so much for your review!

  13. Putting this on to fill the void, thanks

  14. You are not entirely responsible. Society is sick. What you are responsible for however, is linking what you earn to what your life is worth.

  15. "I don't look forward to the weekends, because every day matters to me." -- This quote, coupled with the reminder that time feels faster with age, are probably the biggest highlight of this video (at least for me). Thanks for sharing this seldom-seen perspective.

  16. Surpised you have only 1k subs with this quality, keep it up mate. you're gonna blow up reall soon

  17. Waking up early to play the old cods on Xbox, what a time it was.

  18. This is good, its nice to find another small channel. Hope you make more bro!

  19. I'm almost 32 - I have worked my whole life and always tried to get ahead, but while what you're saying is all true it's still not a golden recipe for success. I'm in the same situation even not for the lack of trying. Video games kept me sane all this time and allowed me to function better while the world felt crashing down on my head. Would I be in a better situation if I spent all that time doing other things? Maybe... But the fact is I always did all the things you mentioned in the video, yet only last year did I manage to get a job that allowed me to make more than a minimum wage. It's not easy even when trying really really hard, because there's millions of people that are also trying same things and are in similar positions. All anyone can ever do is try their best - but don't beat yourself down if that doesn't give you results straight away. If you only start improving your situation in 30s so be it... Just remember not to give up.

  20. You deserve blowing up, especially with all the hard work and consistency you put into your channel

  21. Glad I did an apprenticeship then. Always thought Uni was overhyped.

  22. if it offers you any relief, know that i too struggle with this. we are alone together. you, me and the others on the world.

  23. Thank you. I’m 22 right now and it seems like I’m only starting to pick up my life now. I’ve struggled with mental illness a large part of my life and its put me behind my peers. But I’m putting myself out there now, working a job I love, taking a few classes. I think theres solace in the fact that no matter how much time you’ve wasted in the past, it’s never too late to grow as a person.

  25. These videos are actually really good. Chill, no edits, nice gameplay and you comforting us speaking about your experiences. I have to compliment you on the way you speak too, I hate how modern YouTubers talk, like how they cut the sentences and emphasise their every word, you know what I mean? Your speech feels real. Thank you for these videos, even tho I'm 19, even I feel behind in many aspects compared to others but I've thankfully learned that taking action is more important than how well you do it, I've never understood the story about "turtle and a rabbit" until recently. Life is not a race it's a marathon, and I believe that the finish line is not when you finally achieve something, it lasts your whole life, no one is to far behind to not be considered a potential winner. Keep making these I'm sure people need this. (Sorry if I made some mistakes, I'm not a native speaker)

  26. Hey Jake and Jo! Thank you so much for this review, really enjoyed watching it - just sorry that more of your flavours didn't blow you away! Matcha is my favourite (Tim here!), funny how we're all a little different. Keep up the great work!

  27. I have the same problem. I figured out that most functioning people have a distinct sense of self. Temporal, that you have a feeling who you want to be or not want to be in the next week or year and Social, that you feel how other people might concieve you. I lacked that sense of self for most of my life and it left me unmotivated, aimless and lost.

  28. Really good video man, commenting for the algorithm. Hope it reaches more people.

  29. The last game I actually enjoyed was Elden Ring and it was because I was unemployed at the time and my two best friends took a week of PTO specifically to grind the shit out of it at launch. The absurd enjoyment of gaming that you recall from youth can still be attained but you have to plan to neglect responsibility for a bit. That being said I'm quite content with my current responsibilities because I'm on an uphill trajectory. But maybe the boys can be rallied again for the release of Nightreign.

  30. I always wondered about the hype surrounding this over expensive protein powder. However, once I tried Huel, I understood. Skip the regular powder and go for the black edition. Also, their new pastas are great.

  31. Are you literally me? I am mildly autistic with moderate ADHD and feel we have the same brain. 2015 Me - Spend 12 hours a day watching YouTube videos. 2025 Me - Feel guilty after watching 12 minutes of YouTube videos.

  32. Thanks for the video mate. Really enjoy these chill videos that aren't over edited and actually give your head time to think about what you're saying.

  33. I think this type of content will steer a lot of young, lost people to good things. So take pride in knowing that any success this video brings you is because it's a good thing for somebody else. Thanks Kneecap Jake for doing the work that brought you here!

  34. I believe I went through a similar situation, I'm 30 now, I have started over so many times in my life and now that I'm taking life more seriously and have a passion and something I am studying that will 100% get me my dream job. I feel more like a teenager now than I have ever felt at 18 or 21. To Jack and all the people watching in a similar situation, please never give up, society's constructs means nothing compared to sheer force of will. You matter to the people around you and most of all before you can take that first step, you need to forgive yourself for being in the situation you are in, dont ever tell yourself that you arent worth anything.

  35. Good stuff man, I remember staying up til 2-3 playing games and waking up at 11or noon. Could barely sleep. Knew I needed to change something but now as I’m in my early twenties in college I’m learning how important it is to sleep and how much it impacts your day, energy and even mental health. Everything is much more clear in my mind when I wake up 6-7 am now. 10:00 is the cutoff for games now, and I barely even play anymore. Love the WaW pc gameplay as well. Sainte Marie map or whatever lol, I used to play call of duty 2 my dads laptop anytime I had a chance. Spent endless nights playing cod2. Had the same map and similar graphics. Brought me back to the old days of COD before the modern warfares!

  36. you know i can really relate to what you are saying. I remember feeling the same way in my first year of college.

  38. This mans channel its criminally underrated , amazing video mate

  39. something switched in my around age 24/25 where i just didn't like sleeping in or staying up late. 33 now and most people would describe me as a morning person.
    12
  40. Not sure if I’m just imagining the Elder scrolls music but enjoyed it

  41. As much as I don't want to hear it, I think this is exactly what I needed to hear. At the very least you've planted this thought in my head before I turn 30. Thanks for that.

  42. Love this content. I resonate a lot with it. Especially the "I never wanted a job" video. It makes me want to wake up and break the cycle I'm in. I just got a new job. I really want to put effort into it. I want to try. Thank you for the content.

  43. Your commentary is really good. I recommend these games for your commentary. Motocross madness 2 and steambot chronicles. They are kinda calm and would go well with your commentary. Turn based jprgs,rpgs and also sims like microsoft flight sims and train sims could also go well with your commentary

  44. I also took benadryl nightly for about 6 months, but stupid amounts, up to 600mg, usually 200-450. It was one of the darkest times of my life and I hallucinated shadow people and spiders and voices, my vision is possibly permanently staticky because of it lmao. Idk why YouTube recommended me this but thanks for sharing your experience, I hope you don't get dementia 🙏🏄‍♀️

  45. Man, that bathroom ideas part was sooo good! Relatable as hell!

  46. Man, I felt all of this...

  47. discipline > motivation

  48. I've had that similar path too, eco-anxiety ruined my ability to think about the future, to be ambitious. I was looking at the impending doom, I was baffled by the lack of action on something so important about our world and I thought about the fact there'd be no point in trying more. Waiting for new video games ironically kept me going way more than anything else in life. It gave me the time to observe the world around me, seeing action being taken. Not enough in my opinion but still. I'm not alone on that feeling and people with better mental state than I do are acting up on it. We'll get better, even if it will get worse in a way. But we'll get better
