An RX8 SE3P, Twitter Horses, and repressed envy that will write killer dariacore if acted upon
Great news, PC still not repaired, but I know what must be done to do so, so enough with that.
It doesn't do much besides smash it's face into walls a bunch and eat apples it seems, it's just like me fr (╥﹏╥).
In the vast amount of time I've had between feigning PC diagnostics and not being at work (yes, I'm not a total neet ಠ ೧ ಠ), Ive finally started tapping into my game backlog! This includes the likes of Shin Megami Tensei 4, Halo CE, MGS2, Pokemon Omega Ruby, Jet Set Radio Future, and Tokyo Extreme Racer 3, emphasis being on TXR...
While it's not hard to win me with a racing game for obvious reasons, I found it particularly interesting not solely because of how the game presents itself, but more of how it does so in the grand scheme of its competition. TXR came up alongside PS2 classics like NFSU, Juiced, SRS (meh) and Auto Modellista (for another time!), an already varied market where NFS reigned supreme with the now synonymous aesthetic of first 2nd & first gen console and 2000's tuning scene. Where TXR shines however, is that its only goal is to sell you on highway racing and going really fast doing so, while still offering an expansive customization system similar to it's competition, making it an easily beaten game if your able to lock in and push yourself further every time. To me, TXR played like a racing game rouge like, I would spend 25 minutes grinding in my hard worked RX8 just to beat another team leader to get enough to take to the shop to beef my car up, rinse and repeat. Being about 1/3rd of the way through has shown me that the flashy colors and repetitive events of the eras racers are completely lost on me despite me going in initially for them, but in the end I've gained a love for what I think is a honest and true freeroam game! (^w^)
In the in between, while succumbing to the sirens call of JSRF's vgm player, I fell victim to curiosity and found that my web Twitter was still logged in, so I decided "it's easily been about 6-7 months since anything significant has come from this shit, so let's explore". It's still a cesspool, but some of my fav artists posted some cool stuff here and there, feed thinned and got old, and I discovered the tail end of whatever the hell the Horse Race Tests were. I thought my Internet friends were insane talking about how they wanted to kill a fictional orange bitmap lump-of-playdohesqe Horse, looking into it, and only getting clarity a week and a half after, I'm a huge fan of this thing.
It doesn't do much besides smash it's face into walls a bunch and eat apples it seems, it's just like me fr (╥﹏╥).To make this even longer, and encapsulate about 3 weeks worth of shit I couldn't properly formulate until just now, I very well believe there is no better medium to release emotions into than sound! Taking my friend's advice after initially helping him setup an FL crack, I've started just making straight bullshit on whatever stock plugin's I can just to give individual words and feelings a sound basis for each of them, in turn both being a form of relief of them and broadening my sound library while teaching me how to use my synths better than ever before. End results, while not actually saving most of the ones I've made on my laptop unless they work out cleanly to be a one shot I can sample again, most of them start as a sine wave until I can't tweak it anymore, then the logical moves are Distortion, Phaser, or Flanger. While they all sound equally terrible tonally, the differences between them art the amount of effects, decay effects, and key they're rooted to, along with if they chord or not but that's neither here nor there. Whats the point? To create a library of ambience to better push feeling into songs, as well as a weird kind of coping mechanism for whatever reason you deem fit. (-‸-)
I suppose that's it? Am I nuts to you guys? (・–・;)ゞ
