Amidst the boredom and endless scrolling through the recommendations, I have found something that caught my attention. The video itself looks otherworldly at first though further research led me to found that this video is from a game called Donkey Kong Country 2. It is titled “sticker brush symphony" where it is from a specific level of the game where they are in a sky garden. Why is it strange then? Well, in the comment section of the video, you can see people commenting on their lives and struggles, labeling them as "checkpoints" like saving a game. I do not know how or when this started, but it is quite cool to see people huddled up in a place sharing their experiences together.
