The Night Sky in Video Games and Our Own Lives ( Reupload )
( Reuploaded to fix some color/quality issues from a YT issue )
There's something we are starting to see in modern games that probably looks absurdly fantastical to most of us, but is actually... quite real. It has just been hidden away for most of us...
This little video was a bit of a passion project for me, an idea I've wanted to explore for a while, hope y'all enjoy it.
This explores the ironic evolution of the night sky in video games, in contrast with the night in our real lives. Video games can now display a sky so full of stars, that it could appear fantastical to those of us who may have ever truly seen a natural and pristine night sky, due to the impacts of light pollution.
Seeing the night sky in its full clarity is something I hope you'll go see, it is a profound and awe inspiring experience for sure. In the meantime... remember to look up, even in games.

    Thank you for making this, it involves intermediate level math skills to determine what happens to a stray cat from a video game (That’s literally the most nerd thing you can do no offence I would have done the same thing) I am really glad that I now have an educated guess that is backed up by math in order to prove it, THANKS!😂🎉

    im a 13 yo and I cant belive this game made me cry over a cat thats not even real. What made me really sad, is the way B12 says "let me take it off you" while taking off that jacket backpack thing. Edit: Thank you so much that you showed us that stray finaly gets home with the other cats.

    I literally just passed the part where Atreus asked Mimir why isnt he facing forward. Apparently, they tried, and Mimir kept knocking on Kratos' knockers. Mimir: There was a brief moment where i thought I'd get used to it- Kratos: he did not! 😂😂😂

    If yall haven’t heard nothin bout the game let me tell you the story .. it’s on console like Xbox and such if you want it .. if you want to see full gameplay watch UA-camrs such as forever Nenaa but let’s start. Strays journey has started. Stray (the orange cat) was in a little band of other strays, they played for a bit until they fell asleep. The next day they went to find probably food (it’s not known) so they go out. A little later, all the other strays expect you made the jump. Causing stray to fall. The start of the experience. Stray fell from the height and landed hard, causing stray to limp. After stray gets out of the area they soon see the little creatures titled “The Zurks” This little guys are cute, but never friendly. After stray explored a bit more Stray got chased by some zurks 50 likes for part 2 Edit: I didn’t realize stray has just been Announced on Nintendo so yeh
