tagline: vaporwave produces a videogame epicmegatrax ramble below while the graphics are beautiful in a way i'm sure everyone on this board -- me included -- will love, this is not the sort of game i usually get into. it's quick, twitchy. i am apt to tense up, get stressed, mash buttons, crash, repeat, ragequit. but, this is different. after starting to reach that point -- being so frustrated that i can't stay in the flow and it promptly spirals and you wreck repeatedly -- i switched tactics. i went , watching the whole scene. i did better, but i still kept wrecking. after 25 times failing a level in a row, the game gave me an "achievement unlocked," but i did not give a shit. the patterns of cars and obstacles to dodge were the same every time, and i found myself increasingly able to remember things. desired results of motor control improving. but, dammit, and i going nuts. i will fucking beat this then, i see the forest. not only are the patterns of cars and obstacles the same every time, but they are precisely synced to the music. someone has designed the levels and the music in the same train of thot. this is not an arcade game, it is like driving DDR. so i switched to focusing on tapping rhythmic patterns on the arrow keys, and i did much better. but i was still tensing up; stressing out. wrecking. i did some breathing exercises, and did better. finally bet the level. went to bed. in retrospect, it is so incredibly similar to doing live electronics. focus on the rhythm, don't get stressed, and a shitload of pattern memorization. i actually feel like this is an ideal game to train one's ability to do hardware musics |

oh, yes -- neon drive runs beautifully on linux. it required "ugruntu" or something, which i do not use, but it didn't care. it fired up right away without an errors or driver whatever i also impulse-bought , but haven't tried it yet, since it needs windows. i'll probably bring my work laptop home this weekend to try it both of these games, plus the extra charge to buy the OST for both -- less that $7.50 |
