Todays rip: 06/03/2024

Should auld acquaintance be forgot, and the days of high quality rips?

Season 7 Featured on: Rips of Christmas Present

Ripped by berg8793

Funny thing - I was supposed to have posted this far closer to new years, but then somehow convinced myself that I'd...already posted it? Just marked it as done in the spreadsheet and everything. Bizarre. Well, its never too late to celebrate the new year, is it? Especially not with a rip as sincere, wholesome, downright pleasant as Should auld acquaintance be forgot, and the days of high quality rips? - This is the kind of rip to remain on the laid-back playlist all year long.

I'm sure a lot of people were a bit puzzled to see a game like Tetris on CDi even *get* rips, let alone any form of non-ironic memes. I mean, its the Philips CDi, it's the meme console with Hotel Mario and the bad Zelda games! But this is another case of what I brought up back in Viva La Robocop, another case of one of SiIva's most fascinating phenomena: when otherwise wholly obscure games are kept in discussion through the surprising quality of their music. With only some exceptions (such as the games composed by the Follin brothers) that discussion seldom becomes widespread, usually staying contained to enthusiasts of VGM: such as the very people behind the SiIvaGunner channel itself! And while many of these soundtracks are kept relevant by chiptune artists, with examples like the aforementioned one, Never Gonna Give Up Mahjong and Beautiful! ~ Curveball of Sean Kingston - Tetris on CDi is, as the name of the console suggests, full-on CD quality, with a sound so stunning beautiful and atmospheric for a game series otherwise so content in reusing and remixing the typical Tetris theme. In the words of Jack Yarwood - "Before 'Tetris Effect,' There Was the Vaporwave Bliss of Tetris on the CD-i".

The wonderous atmosphere of this otherwise entirely obscure release of Tetris has kept its heart beating ever so faintly in the 32 years since its release, and Should auld acquaintance be forgot, and the days of high quality rips? feels just as much like a love letter to this game's vibes as it does a soothing celebration of the new year's beginning. Level 6's soothing tune is used as the backing instrumental to an original cover of the Scottish folk song Auld Lang Syne, one typically sung to inaugurate the beginning of the new year. And it's one that I, despite being from all the way over in Sweden, swear I must've heard in a film or show at some point - its lyrics and melody felt immediately comforting and familiar as soon as I started listening to the rip. Part of that comfort is of course the vocals, berg8793's vocal performance is positively soothing, but it may also be from how the vocal performance is implemented into the rip. It's given a layer of compression to it that matches the quality of early CD games, and indeed the quality of the CDi games' soundtracks themselves, a comfy faint noise and static stitching the two pieces of the rip together as a seamless whole. berg8793 has previously mostly been featured on here in rips that appeared as if they were borderline painful to make, such as Banjostruck and Kirby Joins the Circus!, so it was a delightful surprise to see him having made a rip like this. Should auld acquaintance be forgot, and the days of high quality rips? not only feels like a welcome break in energy from the guy's typical output, but also shows me that he's got a genuine talent for singing - one I hope he finds use of in rips to come!

There's little else to say - Should auld acquaintance be forgot, and the days of high quality rips?, much like Wham! Into Dreams, feels like a cover from the heart, a cover made with the intent of pure celebration, to band us faithful viewers together for the new year in the comments section. Amidst all the shitposts and insane-scale collaborations, it's...nice, to have rips like these to return to for the quieter moments in life.

Switch 2 Launch Titles Announced!

The Legend of Zelda: BotW / TotK / CDi

Unsurprisingly, a 4k60p upgrade to the two of the Switch’s most popular titles is coming first to Switch 2. But that’s not all- Not only is the DLC for Breath of the Wild included, but three additional vintage Zelda games are getting upgrades with Wand of Gamelon, Faces of Evil, and Zelda’s Adventure to be included.

Silent Hill f

The scary new Silent Hill installment is coming to Switch quick, with Nintendo willing to debut a far darker than usual game for the new more “serious” system. Silent Hill f will include exclusive custom skins as well, including Mario, Samus, Link, and Kirby visible as torn-off disembodied skins laying on the ground across the town.

Super Mario Space Odyssey

The sequel to Super Mario Odyssey heads to space in the new sequel, which takes Mario and Cappy out of orbit to visit new planets and planetoids across the solar system and beyond, making it the first Mario game ever to explore a “Galaxy” of levels.

The Lord of the Rings: Bombadil Kombat

From the makers of the recent Lord of the Rings: Gollum, this new fighting game will see fan favorite Tom Bombadil from Tolkien’s legendarium beat down Sauron, Saruman, Morgoth, Lesgoth, The Witch King of Angmar, The Warlock Queen of Vidmark, and that one Orc who says “looks like meat’s back on the menu, boys!” in a side-on fighting style arena.

Tetris Heap 2025

Nintendo will yet again try to improve the one perfect video game in history by adding more useless distracting crap! Tetris Heap 2025 will include new modes like Fireworks mode, in which fireworks go off in the background as you play Tetris the same way as always; Water mode, in which there is water and sea-life in the background as you play Tetris the same way as always; Battle Royale mode, in which other players can enjoy Fortnite in the background while you play Tetris the same way as always, and a revolutionary new "Jelly Tetris" mode in which you play Tetris the same way as always while watching a guy try to eat Jello-O with chopsticks in the background.

Animal Crossing: No Russian

Animal Crossing gets real, and really really serious in this game exploring the nature of terrorism and black-flag operations. Can your town stand up to attacks by other players and NPCs who attempt to kill your villagers to effect political change? Try not to let your village descend into fascism as you balance safety with liberty in this nightmare scenario for kids.

Switch Fit Adventure: Legend of the Thigh-Master

Ring Fit is SO 2019! This time the Switch 2 will offer an entire gymnasium of add-ons like rowing machines, treadmills, pull-up machines, shake weights, and the new Metroid themed Ab-Rotation “Morph Ball.” Nintendo is not responsible for crushed spinal columns.

so kayna's recent stories of her playing the wii during rolling stock got me thinking

Starlight Gaming Headcanons (these are compatible with any version of these characters)

Rusty has the Trainyard Wii. For the first few years he had it, it was in his shed which led to many a train coming to his room to play. There's been many a time where Rusty would get back from a long day of work and just see the Nationals or literally any other group. in his shed. playing his Wii.

After a bit of time passed, he was like "fuck it" so he moved it to the whatever the equivalent of a living room/common area is in the yard

Rusty loves Pokemon. Control's dad got him into the first generation and has been hooked ever since. Pearl likes it too but mainly likes it since she likes the designs of the pokemon. Her favorite pokemon is Eevee.

Him and pearl go on pokemon dates together where they go out on the rails, find different spots on the railroad line, and try and find all the pokemon they can on pokemon go. It's precious

Besides pokemon for the cute desgins, she's a Mario Kart/Wii Sports F I E N D. She either mains Luigi or Bowser so she can be tall and scary. If you go against her, be prepared. She's oddly competitive

99.9% of the time, Dinah likes games such as cooking mama, sims, and disney dreamlight valley but when she's pissed, she mainly plays Mortal Kombat and pictures the opponents as whoever she's mad at

Dustin likes FNAF and knows a little too much about the lore. He watches Game Theory religiously

Flat Top, being the living shitpost that he is, likes shitposty games like Zelda Cdi. He mainly plays Call of Duty to laugh at the name and to roast whoever's in the lobby with him. He likes making incels and children cry.

Joule loved Minecraft. Full Stop. She's really the only Gamer within the components

To calm down after a long day of being The Sane One in the Yard, Wrench likes to play Animal Crossing

Buffy likes Sonic underground only because the theme song slap

ashley likes the Oregon trail just to give her pc families shitty names and to give them dysentary

gb and the nationals love just dance and the sims but they say they like gta, madden, and COD to keep up with the reputation. They know all the kpop and Rasputin choreos by heart

Buffy likes Sonic Underground only because the theme song is fire and Sonic Boom because the show's insane and on crack

The coaches each have their own Animal Crossing Islands and they go to each other's islands all the time

Dinah likes to listen to Video game soundtracks as she's cooking. The Wii Sports, Wii Sports Resort, and Animal Crossing soundtracks have a special place in her heart

You would think Papa/Mama likes chill games like Pong and Tetris, but when they're alone, they yippy those kayees in Red Dead Redemption

every so often, like once a month or so, the entire yard gets together to have a Mario Kart and Smash tournament. they call it "Race Night but No One Gets Hurt". The hosts are Wrench and Dustin since s o m e o n e has to host this chaos thats s a n e

one of the rules is that Caboose has lost controller privileges. for obvious reasons

here's some kayna!pearl reaction images that are gems

feel free to put any other ideas in the tags/comments!
