If you've finished this video and need 30 more minutes of your life taken up by my ramblings, I highly recommend watching its companion video on Nebula. More sun talk, more impressionist thoughts, and at the end, there's a baked good! https://nebula.tv/videos/jacob-geller-making-impressionist-galettes-with-jacob-and-annie
We both let go…

The afterglow.
Yeah, the sunsets and sunrises in Genshin Impact are nice too. Appreciation of the natural world is kind of universal among animals.
Jacob i love this video but fortnite should've been used as an example for your point. The way the sun rolls over the hills and reflects off the grass. The clouds almost swarming amongst themselves.
Solaire watches this video to go to sleep.
U just keep taking tears out of me, man. Thank you! Im from Brazil and the Tarsila part just shook me up.
Man what the fuck are you talking about?
Oh god yes never stop with the art commentary
if only I could be so grossly incandescent

Honestly, impressionism was never my favourite art movement, but you put so much wonder and awe into the things you talk about, I always find myself sharing that appreciation. You did it again.
I can't believe you got through this without giving us that sweet Matrix scene! I was waiting for it!
Wow, what a breathtaking script and composition!
I'm here to add engagement
put on some pants dude wtf.
I find it funny that founder of impressionist music Debussy, inspired by Monet's works have same first name, Claude.
Great, high quality content as always. At some point, it’d be really great to hear you do a video essay on Ai art/Chatbots that have been growing in popularity.
But once again. We all love you man. Incredibly worded stuff as always!
i see the reasoning behind this title, just don’t think it is very good at grabbing others attention
Stop appearing in my home page, I don't want to watch you videos.
Thank you.
Beautiful video bud. I've always wished I could articulate about the things I see similar to how you do.
Waiting on a call from my brother. Tough family times. This was a good half hour. Thank you man 🙂
your last video is one of my favorite youtube videos ever made, and you created another amazing one. you execute these concepts so well and your presentation is fantastic.
One of your best videos yet.
Perhaps you could talk about Hollow Knight some day? I know you played it
yk what, I can’t put into words how much I love these videos (not rn, I’m at work lol). But I’ll go ahead and give you a salute🫡.
Do you also listen to the birds in the video?
I really appreciated this video, I watched it on release but coming back to it after being surprised seeing the paintings talked about at the Museum of Fine Arts and it gave me a whole new lens
ur work is just so impeccable
Great video, thank you
Jacob, could you please make a video on My house.wav, the doom mod? It’s a great mod and I would love it if u made a video about it.
Just watched on Nebula and came here to say that your videos consistently bring tears to my eyes.
In the current gaming climate of monetization greed, asset flips and games supposed to run forever, it's easy to remember but sometimes hard to feel that games are art on the same level as any other medium.
How do you find time to read books, I just watch youtube all day
I hope one day someone talks about these videos with the same passion, detail, and interest that the creator uses to talk about the videos' subjects
If you want to see a good sun unboxing you should watch the whole trilogy of The Matrix
I was hoping you would have mentioned Exo One!
I’ve always been more of a lover and worshipper of the moon, but this is genuinely making me contemplate the beauty of the sun in a way I haven’t before. God I love these videos. They remind me of why living is beautiful. They’re nothing short of magical. I got into your content a few months ago, and for a while I was literally falling asleep to your essays and listening to them all day long. I was just so captured by the way you articulate your thoughts and bring a sense of wonder to existence. I want living to feel how I feel watching one of these videos. Full of joy, wonder, and love of being alive
