"Sometimes you just have to let shit go with the flow.

And that flow can be a pain. 'Tis how it is."

*sigh*

Idk, even if it's "good" that I'm starting to care less about this, I kinda hate I am.

Cuz I know it won't stop until I just... end the damn thing.
And I really hate that I can't do it.

Because I care too much.
And sometimes I wish I didn't.

One day I'll properly look out for myself, ig.

This song not only means a lot to me now, after all this time it has aged alongside me.
It's also something so beautiful that... I almost have no words.

I'm glad to be someone who was along for the ride enough to know what it means.

A goodbye.
And a thank you.

Love ya, Chris.

DAY 30: "Coalescence Returns.." from Risk of Rain Returns.

I remember the first time I listened to this track in-game.

Going back to where it all began felt weird at first, yet somehow always welcoming.
Cuz well, that distinctive sound was always there.

Still chanting.

"Aged"

Even 'til the end.

Because sometimes we have to trust that the aftermath will be pleasant. That everything will be worth it.
That everything will be alright.

But, well. It's only the greatest leap of faith.

And even if I don't want to accept it... some ends are really beautiful to witness.

And to listen to.

Of course, there's things that you don't want to end.
Specially what you care about the most.

It truly feels like life was one way when I started this...
...and now it's another.
Because everything has an end.

And even if I really don't want it... some things should end.

Like most videogames.

Y'know?
In a way, I was kinda dreading this.

But I was also looking forward to it.
Because, well, massively public knowledge by now: I love music too much. I can't stop talking about it.

But everything has an end. Everything has to end.
Either on a good or a bad note.
For better or for worse.

I... don't really understand the story of DEADBOLT that much. But I do understand the slow, heavy weight of finality this track conveys.

The end of the line for two characters.
The hesitation to finish it all.

But the end is here.
It's over.

And it has never sounded so nice.

DAY 29: "Ashes to Ashes, to Ashes (To Ashes)"
From DEADBOLT.

Close to the end.

And, like in most videogames, that's what a final boss is.
A close to the end climax. The beginning of the end.

Some make it epic, some make it hard or some don't have one at all.

But this one is truly unique.

Including... this.

It doesn't really speak to me in a literal sense, but there's just this... raw, powerful feeling that washes over me every time I listen to it.

This feeling of finality. Of hopeful bliss.
A bliss beyond this world.

...that's Disasterpeace for ya.

DAY 28 Side-B: "The Winding Ridge" from Hyper Light Drifter.

...oh, this game.

I'm... not the biggest fan of HLD?
I think it's fine, but it can get frustrating at times and it could use some improvements.

But I can't deny the artistry, heart and raw passion this game has in every aspect.

I thought of other songs like "Mae's House" or "Rainy Day", but there's no effing way it's not this one.

It's THE SONG of the game.
THE SOUL of the game.

The nostalgic lives of a group of total trashfires, all compressed into a song that... yeah.

A song I can't stop singing.

DAY 28 Side-A: "Die Anywhere Else" from Night in the Woods.

...god, this game.

No game has lived rent free in my head this hard since probably OMORI.
It read me like a book and left me a wreck.
A total trashfire, if you will.

And I loved it for it.
(i love you mae aaaaaaaaa)

Oh yeah, the music.

Nostalgia is... yet another weird thing for me.
An ever present feeling that never really leaves.

Even if I think I feel it too much and too long... I always find myself in it.
In that weird, sad but somehow also comforting feeling.

And if I want to go there again... I listen to songs like these.

...oh god, not again.

This is the second time you like a post of me gushing about Hauntii, it happened on Twitter last year >.<

...thank you for your work dude, it lives rent free in my head now and I kinda hope that's what you were looking for lol

The Monument Valley series is yet another saga that's criminally underrated.

Such fantastic puzzles, worlds and atmospheres.

All of these games share that in common.
Being fantastic pieces of art that deserve more love.

Just... thank you all. For existing.

DAY 27 Side-C: "The Garden" from Monument Valley.

...oh boy.

I. Love. These. Games.

Probably my first approach at not only good mobile games, but also to puzzle games and optical illusions.

Which you can bet I frickin' like.

...oh man.
I'm a kid again.
