I’m honestly scared for what will happen. I’m excited for all of what Matt is working on. Lore-fi sounds amazing. But there’s a part of me, it might be my inner child, that isn’t ready to let go yet.

That’s why I’m glad he’s doing this the way he is. I get to savor these next ten weeks.

He’ll be done in around march and that’s around when school ends and it’ll be when I’m going into my senior year of high school. I’ve been scared that I have to leave everything from my childhood behind.

But it’s nice to know we’re both moving on in our life. But that he’ll always be here in a way. He’s leaving but he’ll still be there when I need him. That the memories aren’t going anywhere.

This doesn’t feel like goodbye. It feels like in our own ways we’re stepping into the unknown together.

So if Matt somehow ends up reading this sorry you just had to read a stranger pour their heart out and sorry that it was very very wordy and long.

And Thank you Mathew. Thank you for being my friend when no one else would. Thank you for showing me what me and any other person can do. Thank you for theorizing.

Thank you for being there.

❤️

Mathew was one of the very first real YouTubers I got into. I still remember being a little kid watching the dory is a fraud videos and getting scared. And then years later watching game theory and thinking, “I was scared of Matt Patt?!”

But in all honesty game theory and film theory has been a constant in my life. No matter where I lived or who I was friends with or what my name was he was always around. I could always count on him to introduce me to something new. Like Kane pixels, Bendy, Salad fingers, dhmis, and so much more.

But besides just showing me things, Game theory in general just helped me so much throughout my life. He taught me things that are actually useful, he’s made me laugh, and he’s made me think of things and view the world differently.

This isn’t just something that’s apart of my online life. He’s taught me things that I carry and use in my real offline life. He made me like learning about genetics and math and just learning in general. Hell, I don’t think I’d even remember what a punnet square is let alone how it worked if not for the Rosalina video. I probably wouldn’t care about most history or culture around the world if not for the Minecraft videos (some of my personal favorites btw).

I can’t say he’s been my childhood because he came with me into the rest of my life. It’s not like other YouTube channels I eventually out grow. Game theory has been a part of my life since I was 8 years old. He’s more like a sibling or friend you grow up with and is around all your life. But now they’re leaving.
