Unsurprisingly, they're all soundtracks/orchestral, as I mostly use Spotify for writing/studying music. I have like two playlists that have non-soundtrack music and that's it.

--BLU NOTE--
I'M BACK WITH MORE GHOSTS ANGST! Final exams are coming up but I'm getting this real drive for more creativity - so lets see where this takes me!
ill be honest guys I dont think i have it in me to get into another video game for the rest of the year after bg3 lkke I do have things to do before January 😭 (<-- i have no concept of time management)
Rumors abound, as they are naturally wont to do. Perhaps it is a ghost, some say, though whether vengeful or mourning or simply lost is subject to change with each telling. Others claim it to be an emissary of death, hunting for souls misfortunate enough to be caught wandering the dark. Those taken are never seen again, harvested of their lives and added to the ranks of the dead...or so the tale goes. Even more still exchange whispers of the few brave enough to risk glimpsing Garreg Mach’s phantasmal visitant, the moonlight their sole aide for fear of being seen— but concealment alone does not stealth make, their supposed bravery turned brittle as ice under the weight of its piercing gaze.
Eerie red eyes and a hawk’s hearing, they would go on to recount after fleeing the scene in terror. A jagged maw from which seeped a ghostly blue substance like mist, the clank of armored limbs with each step it took. It is no mere work of fiction— something lurks the halls at night, and it is very dreadfully real.
...Such foolishness. He is a remnant of a dead land, stranded in this place and without purpose after failing his mission — nothing more. Devoid of a heart, a life, a future, the night better suits a thing of shadows, of death, such as himself. Nothing at all like the living, who dwell in the light; who possess what he so desperately wished to return to his realm in exchange for his humanity.
Their awareness of his existence is inconsequential; he cares not what speculations and gossip they conjure in regard to his restless wanderings. Where the problem lies instead is in their curiosity, foolishly driving them to seek him out...though it is simply a part of their nature, where he has long since discarded his own or rather, tried to. It is an inconvenience at best, not to be entertained even once; eventually they will forget altogether, a wonder destined to lose its luster to the passage of time.
Not soon enough though, evidently. His steps gradually slow, scarlet gaze narrowing; a hand curls around Sökkvabekkr’s hilt in warning. Uttering not a single word since this charade first began to cull any expectation of the notion— only a silent threat should this newest presence fail to make themselves scarce.
i'm so obsessed with wriothesley's concept. his constellation being cerberus, the fortress having the 3 headed dog insignia and also being the literal representation of the underworld is just so cool. the fact they mixed catholic influences too with the whole noah's arc plot is kind of crazy. he's just that guy!!!

GOL: you're acting like I'm some crazed child
Shrike: yeah, one with access to some hefty weaponry ~
the best game of 2024 was an hour-long visual novel demo, and i can't tell you how it ends
attack and dethrone god.
okay. oh my god. soul of sovereignty by ggdg (of lady of the shard & deltarune fame) is discounted for only a few more days, so i need to get this one out while the iron's hot.
so: i'm inviting you along on another journey. we're following a polite gentleman of the wizardly inclination (loïc) who is approached by a sickly woman in dire need (ysmé). all she requests, in her plea, is an escort to guide her to the nearby temple. his decision to support her may turn out to be the most important choice he ever makes.
... have you ever enjoyed the kind of narrative that traps two people with heavily contrasting motives and personalities together in an unbreakable contract? do you like stories of absolute devotion?
i could look at this shot forever ngl
... are you compelled by immersive speculative fantasy worlds where the use and study of magic heavily influences the rhythm of people's day-to-day lives?
(really intriguing magical linguistics system going on here)
... do you ever promise too much of yourself to others, sometimes, even when it's a bad idea?
... if it was possible -- if you could -- would you abandon your humanity for the power to change your world forever?
and, whatever you may feel in your heart about the above...
do you want to see behind the eyes of a hot trans girl as she bullshits her way into a truly volatile level of power and influence and gets everything she wants?
(+ her pet dilf lovely assistant)
if even one of these elicited a "yes," i think you'll love this story.
i'll go out of a limb:
i think, if you open up your heart, you'll find yourself falling for both of the leads. It's a game that really wants you to look at it from every angle, take it apart, and ask questions about loïc, ysmé, their stories, and what they believe to be true about the world and one another. subtext -- especially the charged subtext this story throws at you and hopes you'll piece together -- is a beautiful thing.
the number of talksprites in this demo is kind of staggering
the jrpg-inspired world of the mosaic and its surroundings is as vibrant as it is profoundly lonely, color folded into every facet of its character as you move through it. appropriately, it's really invested in a lot of questions that arise not just from high fantasy as a genre, but from the modern fantasy sensibilities of jrpgs and the interrogation of what divinity even means in a world where the gods are forces you can interact with and draw power from, however indirectly.
what can i even say? that gg and toby fox's collab score for the prelude is downright heavenly and made it onto my work playlist right alongside the deltarune ost the day it came out on bandcamp? that gg's art, especially their use of light, conveys every scene with vivid beauty?
i wouldn't be posting so much of it if i didn't want to eat every CG. oh my god. he's so pretty. it's not even fair
beyond all of that, i think the game's main resonance point with people is that gg's writing is genuinely thoughtful. they use art detail and deft character writing to convey everything about the leads, using the limited time you get with it to paint layers and layers of information on who these people are and why they make the decisions they do. soulsov's roughly an-hour-and-change of text, expressive talksprites, and lush CGs is infused with so much heart and so much horror and so much intrigue that it leaves you feeling like you're a part of this world, carried along for the ride right alongside the two leads. gg clearly really adores these two, and that level of passion makes everything loïc and ysmé do shine even brighter. in spite of (or perhaps because of) all their friction and flaws, they're easy to love.
(it's really fun to read aloud as a script, too! ysmé's a hoot.)
i hope you experience it with high expectations and an open heart. i don't think it will disappoint. it is, perhaps, just a little bit magical.
