Last Notes

It's been ages since I've last listened to Hurt as Nine Inch Nails put it on The Downward Spiral.
I do really like Johnny Cash's cover of this song. In fact I think it's one of the best covers I've heard. But it's still impossible to compete with the atmosphere of the original.
It's not necessarily a pleasant song to listen to, with noise, detuned guitars and some audio jittering that breaks off one or the other channel in the mix.
But then there's the barely audible whispered second verse and Reznor's voice cracking every now and then. It is a haunting, authentic and deeply emotional song that touches me much deeper than Cash's cover. With the cover I'm empathizing with Cash's life. The sadness is his, even though the tears may be mine. While I'm sure he made a lot of bad choices he regretted later, I cannot really relate to any of them.
For some reason though, the NIN version, especially coming at the end of The Downward Spiral makes me question myself. "Could that have been me? Is that me?" It drags long forgotten memories to the surface, both happy and sad. And that's what makes it perfect to me.

@nprofile…xlhv I can't imagine recording it any other way. I feel like if I were an addict, listening to this song would make me sober immediately. (I'm sure it wouldn't, but it does invoke a powerful sense of wanting to better myself.)
And who in their right mind would want to play this in a strip club??? 🤣

@nprofile…xlhv That looks super stressful. 😅 But also kinda fun.

@nprofile…xlhv I made it through the main story in Celeste, but never attempted any of the B or C side challenges. I saw a speedrun of it once and I don't think I'm up for it. 😅

I may have just started and abandoned #WarioLand 2 over the course of a 30 minute session. 😅
I played this as a kid and it tickled me when it came up when I was scrolling through the ROMs on my Vita. But it's either not as fun as I remember or I'm in the wrong mood for it. 😩
I don't think I'll come back anytime soon, if at all...
I also don't feel like playing Rocket Knight Adventures again.

I made it to the boss at the end of stage 4 in #RocketKnight Adventures. 🥳
What I love about these games and what the Souls games somewhat remind me of, is seeing yourself getting better the more you play.
When I started the game a few weeks back, I struggled with the first stage already. Then I got stuck on the second stage boss. Today I encountered the boss of stage 3 and thought it was impossible at first. And then I beat the boss on my next run and made it to stage 4, only losing one life in the progress. 🤯
The game is super hard, but I've seen now that it's not unfair. Everything kills you in one hit on the hardest difficulty and while I can't see myself ever going through that ordeal, I can see that it is technically possible. Given enough time I could probably do it, but I'm happy enough beating the game once on a lower difficulty.

@nprofile…843t Floor is amazing, but may I raise Yannis Papadopoulos from Beast in Black...with Ghost Love Score? 🤔🤯

I did it! I finally beat Mr. X and with it #StreetsOfRage 2, which for all I know is also the very first beat 'em up that I've ever finished. 😁
And it was very tight. I was down to a third of my health on my very last life. I'm still shaking. 😬
With this I'm now ready to move on to something else. Most likely not another beat 'em up, but I'm now keeping an open mind for other games in this genre.

@nprofile…xlhv thanks. 😁
I'm still a bit shaken at how much the game hooked me and turned me around on beat 'em ups. And I can see myself coming back to it in the future.

Ever had that short elated feeling, thinking "woah, if I stack these things like this, I have so much more space"... followed immediately by the gut punch realization "you don't have a space problem, you've got a too-much-stuff problem"?
Can you tell I've been tidying up the cellar? 😅
