Listen to music when shopping or at work (especially if I am surrounded by noisy coworkers), speak out loud to myself when I am alone (I also do it to just think about anything, it’s much easier for me to sort my ideas and take decisions). Another thing I do when I feel sad is playing rhythm games, because it forces me to focus about what I am doing while listening to musics I enjoy (but I do not do it a lot now that I have a dog, I feel much better thanks to her <3).
People who love animals get the healing power of them. They just lift you up with their sweetness. I used to listen to music, but I stopped at some point. I'd get an earworm and keep that sucker playing on repeat and zen out and BLAM! Chill. (Blam maybe wasn't the right word but I mean all of a sudden I'd realized how chilled out I was)
What ryhthm games? I can't play them, but my sibby plays Konami stuff. My fav is pop'n music.
I mainly played Project Diva for 10+ years, but now I also play Theatrythm FF. I think I would love Pop n music but never have it a try (the special controller looks so good :) )
Ooooo, those are the guitaroo man kinda ones with like - lines and timing right? How any of you play these is outta my head. I can sing, and I understand rhythm but translating that to this kinda stuff is just *wuh!?*
It's got a crazy variety of songs if you ever want to check it out here's a playlist of all of them apparently. I hope you get to try it someday =)!
Yes, it takes time to get used to it, but it’s almost automatic at some point :).Thanks for the playlist, I will have a look at it ;).
No worries, if you wanna send a cool jam (or jams) from either game feel free to toss it here. I love fun music =)
Crypt of the Necrodancer on steam is a fantastic rhythm game, and you can use your own music on it. The switch version is portable, which is a plus, but there's no ability to swap your music in.
I also second Theatrhythm! Final Fantasy music is almost universally gorgeous.
Oooo yeah, people love this game. I yet again can sing my buns off and do have rhythm but bringing it to a game is something else. But there are actually a handful of music games on the pc but I don't know too much about them as a whole.
