#One Hour One Life

[animentality]

obsessed with an old video game called one hour one life, in which you live the entire life of a human being, who ages a year every minute, in the course of an hour.

you're born to other players. you start as a baby that has to be taken care of until you grow up. then you have to work with them to build a community, creating tools and settlements and farms. then you get older and older, watching your hard work pay off as your community grows, and you have children.

you teach them how to do the things you do. let them reap the benefits of your hard labor, and the labor of your community.

and then you die.

and then you're reborn again, if you choose to play again.

and it's really quite fascinating, because...im ngl. i'm a little emotional right now because i just watched CallMeKevin's video on One Hour One Life, and...

He had this mom, who taught him how to play the game. Was very patient and kind-hearted, took care of him and gave him supplies and helped him explore, answered all his questions, showed him where everything was, and how the world worked. Then, when he was grown up, she said I'm going to die soon...so goodbye.

And then she died.

And he was actually sad, because he really grew to like this person, like they were actually his mom.

And it was really cool, because she did come back in the form of a baby. She walked up to him and is like hey I was your mom, baby.

And then she watched him die.

And it was like....I dunno.

Sad, hopeful, sweet?

Just the idea of, your mom took care of you since you were born, she was with you until she died, and then she was still there for you, when you died.

And it got me thinking about humanity and human life in general, how that's really how a society works.

You're born. You're raised. Taken care of. Then, you grow. You're taught what you need to know. You build. You work. You connect. You dedicate time and effort to your crafts and your civilization, so that your children and their children will reap the benefits. and when you die, you just hope you taught your kids everything they needed to know.

you gave them all the tools for success too, literally in this case, since all equipment and settlements stay.

and you hope they can continue on without you...that is, until you respawn.

but there's something hopeful in that mechanic too.

this idea of maybe none of us are new to this earth. maybe we keep coming back, in some form or other. maybe no one ever truly disappears, and as long as we continue on, in service of one another, then things will be ok, and we'll meet old friends and family that we thought we lost.

anyway, i'm being silly, but.

i am fascinated by video games.

they really can be something thought provoking and profound...and also funny.

because that video is fucking funny too.

i love callmekevin.

I just had to stop playing one hour one life because I died and missed my children too much to continue

This is the worse way to find out one of your online friends passed away 😭 but I'm glad to see that there is a memorial to him in-game.

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

I just did some math and, if Cas is as old as the earth, his 12 years with Dean is equivalent to like 0.08 seconds in a human lifespan. That’s less than 1/10th of a second, shorter than the blink of an eye. He knew Dean for such a short amount of time compared to his entire existence and it was enough to fundamentally change everything about Cas and how he sees the world. That’s absolutely insane to me.
