+ + ++ On Jan 2, 2008, a YouTube user named + DrazenXLive uploaded a video of themselves playing + Reptilia by The Strokes on Rock Band. It gained a few views, + but was otherwise just a gaming video in the early age of YouTube. +
++ Then picsmics4 started commenting. And never stopped. +
++ For over 15 years, picsmics4 returned to this one video, leaving + comments that evolved into an unintentional diary, from documenting + high school whimsy, adulthood, hardships, and everything in between. + The thread, the optimism of picsmics4, and the wholesome reception + from the internet community has been selected to be preserved on this + site. +
+ ++ I watched + a video by ShaiiValle + and was inspired to make this site overnight, in an era where much of + our shared digital history is quietly disappearing. The world is + currently a mess, but it is the small things like this that let us go + on with our days. +
+ ++ This site preserves every comment from the video, and comments from + before January 1, 2026 (at 6 minutes and 7 seconds) + are frozen exactly as they were for authenticity. Newer comments are + added periodically but the original archive remains untouched. +
