Ky0 Act 5 - Tumblr Posts

What a journey it’s been. When I started my initial Kentucky Route Zero (KRZ) playthrough on the old channel, I was in a bleak place personally. I replayed and replayed parts to see every bit of content, because having KRZ occupy my thoughts was an escape. That old channel is gone now, and so too are many viewers, fans, and friends. To those who have searched me out and have stuck by me (some of you have been with me since I started my original channel in 2012), I’ll never be able to express how grateful I am: but Thank You. In my new playthrough of KRZ (and especially from Act IV onward), I don’t linger on finding every bit of content. I let each moment happen, I am grateful for it, and I let it go. I was stunned at the abruptness of the ending (especially since I thought Act V would be longer), but I don’t think in terms of “was the ending as good as I think it should have been,” because this game taught me something profound: As cliche as it is, the journey really is more important than the destination. To me, the big cast at the end represent those who stick with me still, and the ghosts who surround them represent all those who I lost along the way. And yet, we all gather together one final time. And the ride, the journey from start to finish, although at times heartbreaking, was TOTALLY WORTH IT. I love you all, even those who will never hear this message. I cherish and honor our time together, and even though it’s been tough, I wouldn’t change a single thing if I had the chance. I love who I’ve become, and I feel twenty times as strong as I was when I began Act I, Scene 1 so many years ago. ❤️
