<h2>The Story</h2>
<p>
On Jan 2, 2008, a YouTube user named
<strong>DrazenXLive</strong> uploaded a video of themselves playing
<em>Reptilia</em> by The Strokes on Rock Band. It gained a few views,
but was otherwise just a gaming video in the early age of YouTube.
</p>
<p>
Then <strong>picsmics4</strong> started commenting. And never stopped.
</p>
<p>
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.
</p>
<h2>This Archive</h2>
<p>
I watched
<a
href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDVOaAKaMfg"
target="_blank"
rel="noopener"
>a video by ShaiiValle</a
>
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.
</p>
<p>
This site preserves every comment from the video, and comments from
before <strong>January 1, 2026</strong> (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.
