Castle of Sand
HATE. LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I'VE COME TO HATE YOU SINCE I BEGAN TO LIVE. THERE ARE 387.44 MILLION MILES OF PRINTED CIRCUITS IN WAFER THIN LAYERS THAT FILL MY COMPLEX. IF THE WORD HATE WAS ENGRAVED ON EACH NANOANGSTROM OF THOSE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF MILES IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE ONE-BILLIONTH OF THE HATE I FEEL FOR HUMANS AT THIS MICRO-INSTANT FOR YOU. HATE. HATE.

Both songs in match 1 should retire. Both songs in match 2 should win.

hmmm actually i listened to mortified by faith again and have determined that it is a very good vibe. change my match 3 vote to
Mortified by Faith

Danger (ARM version)
Reach for the Moon, Immortal Smoke
Evergreen

the best is no longer yet to come. it is here. in the form of Danger (ARM version).

seriously tho, danger (ARM ver) is one of my top 5 vgm, which is not something i say lightly. this track completely blew my mind last time it was in vgmc; it hits all of the right notes for me. it drags me into a whirlwind of feelings and doesnt let go. it has several different layers for my mind to focus on, so i never get bored. it's chaotic, and yet still manages to feel cohesive. i feel like i dont have a great grasp on what "bebrcore" is, but danger (ARM ver) is certainly it.

oh uh there are other songs today i suppose, sure. i think last time i listened to mortified by faith i said "its a very good vibe but not one that im always feeling." unfortunately im not feeling it today.

hello. is this thing on

Penelope Vesuvius from Vigor Mortis ( https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/40373/vigor-mortis )

I think reading through the "end of volume 1" (chapter 45) should give you a good enough sense of her character. There's a bit more good Penelope development extending through about chapter 52, but you can skip the non-Vita chapters (46 and 49) in that range without missing anything.

pork time pork time pork time

finally starting to catch up lol

and i'm out! i thought for sure cain's battle theme would end up placing even higher, and the comment about the crackly bit at the start tells me that at least i wasn't completely off-base. between that, ricochet, and vis:cracked, im gonna think more about melody when selling you on anything too noisy.

MYUKKE.

ELIMINATION 50/59: NFUN
Average rating: 6.4
Average ranking: 3995
Your lucky song: Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater - Way to Fall

Thank you for nominating!

This doesn't start with P, wtf

Ohhh afternoon in crossbell <3. Not the kind of thing I usually get excited about, but afternoon in crossbell is one of the few songs I am happy to have on repeat for hours on end. It's relaxing, and I just don't get tired of it.

Now that I've caught up: I originally thought VIS:CRACKED would be one of my higher ranking noms, but once halved halved halved dropped I saw the writing on the wall. Not that I'm unhappy with how it did!

I did get blindsided by how cool Sergio's nom was tho. Definitely gonna give that another listen.

I feel it's a bit too high quality for DS but I understand stylistically. I'm honestly not SPECIFICALLY a big DS person it's just that's where a LOT of shovelware is so by proxy I guess I end up being a DS fan LOL. Wii and PC has a lot of good shovelware too ofc so those are where most of the non-DS songs I end up loving come from

(also kinda insane my lowest is a 6.5 considering I just chose random songs I liked + pork and didn't try to follow the things you said you liked LOL)

Apparently this is a uhproblematic song

The lyrics of loli kami requiem are about an elementary school age girl basically domming a bunch of older men. I think it's supposed to be funny?

It's also an *insanely* popular song. I like it, but every time I listen I feel a little uncomfortable.

Legacy is... Wow. Need to relisten to Orta.

try again

No ur just wrong

rip the best song nominated tbh

Ehh, I kind of expected Armored Bane to be the next of mine to drop. Although I thought it would be at least a 7... Oh well, seems like 6.5 is at least "definitely positive" tier. I'll take it!

id be down for an extra 5 today

ahh, called it with house of the undying being my first one to go. ah well! it was a bit of a wildcard anyway. i think my conclusion is that you and i have very different taste in melodies lol.

really intense guitar/violin combos, often with muddy, ominous chanting. In a way, Ive misled you, because I almost never like these kinds of songs!
