You aren't wrong about Sakuraba, haha. Man knows how to make fun battle themes, at least.

His Dark Souls stuff is great, but BK has some nice, tranquil town themes. Tales of Vesperia has some more good town themes.

His most unique battle theme is actually quite beautiful. Look up Mine 24 (B) from the Resonance of Fate soundtrack. When that violin kicks in... OMG. Heaven. I wish I could have that section in a loop.

Edit: WTF, I can't unbold in edit, haha.

Oh my God, this is great! This is a *battle theme*?! Thanks!! I'm gonna listen to the whole OST now. Resonance of Fate wasn't a game I was familiar with.

I had mainly known his work from Vesperia, BK, and Golden Sun, and had no idea til a year or two ago that he was also responsible for Dark Souls. I'm not as big on the style of Dark Souls' music (don't get me wrong, it fits the game perfectly, it's just not my preferred listening...with the exception of the final battle theme) but I was blown away by his range, since most of what I had heard in the other games was somewhat similar.

Golden Sun may be limited by the GBA sound system, but I think Venus Lighthouse is one of my favorite game themes ever.

Everyone else:

Is there a Discord for this? Is there a way to get a link without it being posted publicly......?

Halloween is my favorite holiday, but this year I'm so busy that I haven't had time to enjoy shit. No haunted houses or rides or parties.

Hopefully Tuesday I can let my inner hoe free.

I wanted to dress up for Halloween and go to a party but all of my friends are away at uni right now. Guess I'll just buy a bunch of junk food, play horror games and watch scary movies all night.

I think you'll dig the RoF OST a lot. It has very cozy music. Just as a note, Sakuraba did the battle themes, while Kohei Tanaka did the town themes (he worked on the Gravity Rush games). Check out Play June and Assault Cnida from Gravity Rush (the latter being my favorite. 0:57 - 1:22 <3<3<3).

GBA stuff doesn't bother me at all! I never beat Golden Sun :P.

My listening range is broad. I love battle themes the most, though, because they really get the blood pumping, and I need an energy boost however I can get it.

If you want stuff to write to from a series you may not have thought of, check out Fog-enshrouded Nightscape from the Castlevania: Lament of Innocence OST.

Michiru Yamane is my goddess, tbh.

Sadly nothing ever surprises me anymore since Trump got elected :(

Sure, let me know about the Switch thing, it would be a pleasure to play with you again someday!
It's still a bit steep in terms of pricing (315 Euros is the cheapest offer I could find with a search earlier) so I am waiting for a sale. Any games on it that you can play with others online besides Splatoon 2?
I wanted to dress up for Halloween and go to a party but all of my friends are away at uni right now. Guess I'll just buy a bunch of junk food, play horror games and watch scary movies all night.
Stranger Things Season 2 just came out so you could watch that if you are a fan of myster horror themed media. The first season was great to if you haven't watched it at all.

Hi! I'm not sure most of you will remind me (I see some familiar names around though) but let's say I'm back. Got my account perma-nuked in the other place a long time ago due to a very stupid reaction I had (completely my fault) and didn't have the heart to get a new one seeing how whoever booted me wanted me out so bad. Anyway, let's leave the past behind and hope this new place bring us joy :D

Going through some of the questions...
  • Your gender? Your sexual identity? (Preferred pronouns?) -> Male / Cis / He-Him
  • Your sexual orientation? Gay as hell
  • Where Are You From? Spain
  • Where Do You Live? Spain too
  • How Old Are you? Almost 31 :V
  • What are your hobbies (other than gaming)? Analog photography and Crossfit!

I'm just stopping in to say hi!

There's been some discussion, but nothing concrete yet. Feel free to reach out my inbox if you need someone to talk to. I will likely post an OT sometime in the near future.

And for those of you who don't know, I'm a transgender woman, bisexual, with a lesbian partner. Hiiiiiii

It's probably the most fun FF. It has a lot of fun story beats like a good action movie. :)


Handheld? How's the battery life?

I couldn't tell you

I started the game when my battery was already at half so I put it in docked mode after 30 minutes and been playing it like that. I'll take it out later and see how it goes

Hiya! This is my first post here. I am 29 years old and have been dealing with a bit of minor depression lately.

  • Your gender? Your sexual identity? Male
  • Your sexual orientation? Gay
  • Where Are You From? India
  • Where Do You Live? Oman
  • How Old Are you? 29
  • Favorite Type of Music? Pop
  • Profession or Career interest? Construction Planning
  • Favorite video game(s)? Tomb Raider
  • What are your hobbies (other than gaming)? Reading

I started watching the Australian TV Show "Please like me". For those that have not watched it here is a brief synopsis.
The show is about a guy name Josh in late 20's who falls in love with another guy Arnold who suffers from Anxiety attacks. Also the protagonists mother had attempted suicide in the pilot and Josh moves in with her. In the final season the couple break up over a threesome and Josh's mother commits suicide.Josh's friend tries to call Arnold to tell about suicide but Arnold is shown having sex with the threesome guy. The show is finished.

The last 2 episodes have kinda brought my moral down. I have been really bummed about it. I know its a TV show but I was quite invested in the characters and they way they ended it felt quite cruel. I watched is 2 days ago and am still thinking about it. Maybe me being depressed has got to do something with it. I just wanted to gather all my thoughts and felt I could do here. Thanks.
