9.5/10 this area reminds me of wataru's Abandoned Apartments, with the music and the abandoned setting. (This was requested by RioHydra, the author of this map.) Filename: Rio_Piano5 Note: This music is played 40% slower than normal.
I've never listened to a piece of music so frequently as I have this one. Everyone loves abandoned apartments, but this feels like it's acknowledging something you've lost. Like a lament to good memories that are slipping through your fingers; a nightmare where every day your life continues to deteriorate further and you fall deeper into a lonely misery that you can't do anything but comply to. Because you're scared to let people in; scared to make new memories, and too scarred to ever leave your comfort zone. The empty city is filled with memories of people you never met. You're letting your life slip away and are ok with it.
This music made me feel one very particular emotion, which is literally smiling through the pain. Have you ever thought, the damage you've suffered, it reached a point you don't even feel it anymore, a sense of peace so strong that invades your mind after the storm. I looked at my parents and smiled to them so sincerely when I listened to this. It felt so good and horrible at the same time. I thought I was going to faint or something. I really don't know what it was, but it felt so real, like, this music really knows how I feel I couldn't help not writing this. Some things may never end, and I'm all for it. I shall wait for the end, like I've always had, it says with its notes as they slowly sink to my heart's content. This is it.
Rio is probably my new favorite author I loved this map and his others a lot including the music. He's definitely Wataru's successor, in my eyes at least.
@@dumbdannia6326 Rio stopped being an author during 2022 because he did something with his ex-partner, gucce (there was a 4 hour video that's linked to a document about this situation)
I think art gives you a great insight into the mind of the artist who made it, I don't think it represents what the creator has experienced though, I think it represents an ideal scenario in their mind. For example I draw in a simplistic and cute style, I could not tell you how inaccurate it is to the life I've lead, a life of solitude, negative interactions with others, and abandonment issues that have affected how I live life, none of that complicated nonsense comes through in my art style and it's because I just want a nice peaceful World that's simple to understand and fun for everyone. When I was a teenager I thought life was great, initially I loved school and all the friends I made, life was ideal at the time but what was I most interested in at the time? I was into horror stories and other unsettling topics scenery like this would have made me overjoyed back then, I still like it now but I feel like teenage me would just have an otherworldly appreciation for this design. Us humans get bored of the same thing all the time, it's why we go for the exact opposite in our creations, if you have so much of Yin inevitably you're going to be interested in Yang at some point. This area reminds me of life that's no more so gloomy scenery makes me nostalgic even if I would prefer bouncier and happier things.
hello, so recent comment its even in the same day... i can agree with you to a point, art is an amazing escapism and people like to create things contrasting how they feel. though also with artistic expression it can be a way for some people to release their feelings through creativity. in a game like this i feel like a purpose could be to vent. lots of these worlds are very personal, and can directly reflect the artists inner feelings. the feeling of nostalgia from this i understand completely (especially thanks to that seasonal depression rolling in), i find myself coming back 2 this vid a lot xD. i guess, tldr, i think this area isnt an ideal scenario... maybe other areas ingame like the rapeseed field, lotus/lavender waters etc. but definitely not here, it feels like a reflection of fear of whats to come, or how the world feels already.
@@neetsmegma5143 The way I gauge whether an art piece is a vent or just something the artist enjoys making is whether or not most of their art is moody like this. The majority of both Wataru and Rio's worlds have this similar gloomy atmosphere so I soon thought that my initial answer might be wrong but who really knows? Art can be used to express a life story without any words even if it's not an ideal World. If I've learned anything from games like this the discussion is more important than the answer though.
I felt safe writing this here because you all seem friendly enough but just in case, yes, I know it's long and most people can't be bothered to read things this long, you don't have to vocalise that you don't care.
@@DreamerFromTheDepths i really feel bad that it came across like i dont care. i actually do care a lot, which is why i guess i replied to you. i think your view on artistic expression is good though i dont really think it applies too much to the sadder areas ingame...... it definitely does apply to the more serene, surreal places like aforementioned lotus/lavender waters etc etc :D i really do love this game so much with the vastness of every world.... over 1700 of them aahh!
Makes me remember of abandoned Buildings,once lively and full of spirit, but slowly being forgotten and falling apart, and then being fully left behind.
Wow God has been on me lately.. he is on my mind non-stop, & out of no where too. I was depressed for a (decade) just living my life and I was not thinking about him at all. Years pass by and finally I prayed because I was in a dark place, I asked him to please reveal himself too me, or even help me with anything he could help out with, so I can know who he is. (And he delivered) Following (Christ) is not a religion its a (Relationship)🧠 & if anyone out there is lonely or hopeless i promise you Jesus (Loves you foreal) & Your never alone when you call on his name.. ✝️❤️ God is love ______________
Ive been doing the same. Maybe im not a good christain to christainities standereds. But I dont think thats the point. I think the point is the mindset of it. I might not be free of sins but I reconize how loving jesus is and I feel like I could releave parts of myself through that. To other christains they might view me as not being saved but right now I want to focus on my mental health and if I could have a mindset that god loves me even though im like this than I feel like things can get better. I had a lot of experinces lately that have been proving this aswell. I was questioning if it would be okay if I worshiped in my own way. As I a am autistic and I find things like church and the general community really upseting to me. Then I got recommeded a video with the title like "God knows your dessician is right." That made me feel really vailidated and loved.
