Around 25 years ago during winter here in Norway, me and my cousins would play the PlayStation and then run outside in the snow and play for hours then run inside when grandma was done making waffles and then we'd start up the console again afterwards. Best time of my life.
I miss the days with offline consoles, the only way to communicate was through texting or calling, or internet forums. In my opinion, the iPhone ruined everything, it made our outdoor pleasures meaningless and instead replaced by a draining burden that takes away our social skills. I miss the days when you didn't have such distractions and were instead calmer. You appreciate games more but all games nowadays are just cash grab or FPS, it was reassuring to know that you were looking ahead to a console that could make the time at home a little special, but the overaccess to media has ruined all meaning. It has been a relief and burden to uninstall social media, when you ignore such nonsense you become isolated in reality, you have withdrawn from the dopamine slave mindset but everyone else is judging you. It's no reason to stop. I wish phones would go back to texting and calling. The isolation makes me sad but it gives me insight into how it was in the past, so the future becomes better for we who learn from mistakes. Accept your vision of life, not others, not ever. We love.
It's funny, my mother came to visit the other day just for a chat and catch up. I always put some ambient music on just for some background and i had been listening to this for a few hours already so it was still playing. After some time, she asked me how can i enjoy something that sounds so sad and depressing. I told her for me it is not sad or depressing but nostalgic and brings me memories of when i was just a teenager without a care in the world and playing these amazing games. She just smiled and we both sat there for a few minutes listening.
@@midwichmusic there are a lot of 'silent hill inspred ambience music' vids popping up. but none capture the feeling of the tracks in this video. do you know what you have done here? you have genuinely captured the style of Silent Hill, even though it isn't Official Akira composed tracks. I try not to say things like this too often, but your tracks deserve to be in a new Silent Hill or other foggy style dreamy 'horror' game, although geniunely more psychological than horor
been trying to make changes for the past years yet nothing seems to work out due to my lack of discipline or obedience. I often end up being under developed because of such happenings... But when i need to find a place to rest i always end up listening to your videos. Which tend to bring me comfort at difficult times. Tysm!!
I have the same man also trying to do better for years now but it still is so difficult let's hope day by day it gets better for us and glad we can rest with this beautifull music and ambience!
What the others said, plus I do think it's true that gaming is in a lull quality wise and retro gaming is starting to become more appealing. I think it is becoming a lot more common for people to feel unimpressed by recent graphical advances and disappointed with gameplay stagnation relative to some of these very creative older titles. Nostalgia does help but personally I am noticing that I am having more fun playing 20 year old games than brand new ones, and I ca't say that was true 6-7 years ago.
I think old games are just better overall. I don't even have any nostalgia for them or anything cause I'm too young to have been there for anything before the Xbox 360/PS3 era
Video-games became mainstream, and budgets grew. Classics, like the original Tomb Raider, were made from scratch by about 10 people in 1 year. No AAA game could be made like that today so they have to sacrifice risk (creativity and innovation), hence why everything is a re-ash, remake, or sandbox collectathon. I really miss being a kid in the 90's.
modern people be like, "ewww i cant stand with this graphics, i just wait for the remake" ... LOL they had no idea, all original masterpiece doesn't need remake, it kills the atmosphere and experience of first time playing the murky and muddy graphics of PS1
Thank you so much for making this piece together, It soothes me more then I expected…I’m going through some things and this helps me through it.. ( ๑o̴̶̷᷄﹏o̴̶̷̥᷅๑)ノ"
I remember....wandering if there was an easter egg to follow the police officer and cooperate for help. It was not a surprise to find she never made it out, but could be rescued by gathering a hidden item behind one of the desks in the hospital. If only we could have saved the nurse as well....
This whole game is like a dream/nightmare, in an accurate way of how dreams really feel. where you need answers but its hard to find them. where you know something or everything is out of place but can't do anything about it, just going with it. where the atmosphere is cold, lonely and blury, but calm at the same time, and the constant anguish of not being able to find that important person in this sad and lonely place. That's why this game is so good to me. The only silent hill game that really unsettles me because of these feelings. Amazing.
If only life could be a world of demons and deadly ghosts, see-sawing back and forth between a foggy nightmare and a dingy metal hellscape? What an asinine statement...
Your ambience music perfectly captures the vibes of Silent Hill/Resident Evil. I often listen to them whenever I’m reading or going to sleep. Keep up the good work man 👍🏻.
Very quirky dude. How about you stfu and try to be a quirky individual and deal with your problems without expressing your plans in the comment sections on youtube under some video related to gaymes.
Your playlists are literally the only thing that makes my anxiety recede. I don't know why I find comfort in the atmosphere of like Silent Hill's, (like, to be honest, the atmosphere of this place is aimed at the opposite x) ). Thanks btw. And congrats with 10k!
It's almost like we've been lonely for so long that the void became a comforting place amidst the chaos and deadlines of the world, we're obviously different, this music would probably make others lose their minds while for us, it calms the mind and allows us to actually be able to focus and think
This is amazing work!!! I plan to make a Silent Hill short film with as much respect and ambiance to the original game franchise. I’d love to use some of your tracks as Soundtracks for the film. Would you be alright with that?
Thank you! 🖤 Yes you can use it, but please keep in mind to give me credit somewhere in the description! Good luck with your project, let me know when it's available. ^^
Happy belated birthday, bro. It may not seem like sunshine and rainbows now, but your life is just beginning. Decide what you want and who you want to be and start living it now. I started so late, and my 20s are barely memorable. I wasted them. Go after what you want bro and make it sunshine and rainbows.
Nice to go to sleep but, as well, nice to wake up while drinking your coffee (or tea or whatever you take for your breakfast), like me last night and this morning! Thank you!
It's too bad the video itself is a short loop, i wish a mod had been made to just keep the camera there while the snow falls outside while they sit there and move in that 'natural' PS1 fashion
@@midwichmusic I wish someone would make a game like the way these tracks make me feel. Silent Hill developers didn't realise they actually created this 'fogwave' style of game, mixing this ambient music with surreal dreamlike atmosphere. It would be nice to play another game, even if it's not 100% horror based, that focuses on this a bit more. Perhaps some npcs afraid to go out in the fog, perhaps lots of deserted towns where you can take your time and soak in the memories of those who lived there, maybe mysteries or supernatural psycological elements... I dunno. I think...only Silent Hill 2 got it closest so far, where the horror is balanced with a real discovery of self. the end boss is really more of a revelatory culmination, not simply a bad guy monster. In a similar way, Resident Evil 2 had a lot of foreboding atmosphere with zombies outside and moans on the wind, but different. I'm just babbling now lol
7 years ago today, I was a happy kid playing on my PC everyday after school, no responsibilities and looked forward to coming to school a lot. I went from being a happy kid to going through a lot of mental health problems because I moved school, my parents got more stressed and angry, depression and anxiety hit me hard. I took out my anger and became a bully, then I got bullied back which then led to me being excluded, no friends, abusive parents and I became obese at 16. Now I am 21 today, I have a financial mathematics degree and have secured a graduate scheme in the finance sector, I have built many good relationships and very happy with myself.
Thank you for these, especially for this longform compilation. I have to keep relaxing ambient music on in the background, and this is making for a great addition to my picks.
@@midwichmusic I see. I am interested in purchasing some for our multiplayer game. Working on main story missions currently, could use some of your soundtracks (:
@@randomshenanigans4224 so maybe you should ask, If you can use it for your game: No problem, just credit me somewhere in the credits or description. Thank you very much for your interest in using my music! ^^
harry mason damn i remember i was the one in my neighborhood to first figured out the piano without using any kind of cheat or walkthrough i just manually pressed the piano keys one by one and wrote it down on my notebook that time i was on highschool and after class i go straight to playstation because im not into sports and im introverted so playing video games was kind of my alone time away from the pressure of exams i didn't play any games except silent hill i have 2 memory cards in case my progress accidentally got deleted but a friend stole one of my memory card i remember playing it for like 12 hours straight and sometimes the television shuts down because of heat because the place i am playing has no aircondition just a fan typical filipino business i stopped playing silent hill when i heard the news about the woman who owns the playstation rental shop got stabbed multiple times by a group of burglars who stole the expensive toys thats displayed on the wall and also the playstations got stolen too
