 | I don't even know how to encapsulate my feelings. I know there are many who might not like all the changes and announcements, maybe you're not fond of the vibe and updates. And I'm fully empathetic when that happens. But you know what? After this concert, after this fan fest? I feel so goddamn lucky to have fallen in love with this game back in 2013. After attending my first fan fest, what other game / fandom can have an experience like this? Tonight, after making community announcements and covering massive game changes, the producer of one of my favorite video games was on stage, singing in a death metal voice in a band with the game's composer and head localizer, rocking out to music from the game together. He's going to go back home after getting more "butt slider" comments and taking it in both fun and genuine stride, and work on this game some more. We made him tear up after chanting his name multiple times. He stayed on stage after the impromptu closing statements that -might- have been prompted by the expectation to hear "Everything Burns," but bowing thankfully and deeply telling us he loves us all. And man does it really help remind me why I love this game and the community overall. It's so incredible to be part of something so niche but so expansive, where we can have a piano concert that makes me laugh and cry, and then a rock concert that gets me jazzed, performed by the guy leading the project. I love this game. Even when it makes changes I don't like, they listen and do their best. I'm so lucky to be part of a community where the producer sings death metal with his cohorts on stage because he's part of this community and helps make it so tight knit. I'm looking forward to the next fan fest and Evercold so much. Thank you to every single person who made this experience what it was for me. You all and this community are all the damn best. And thank you so damn much Yoshi-P. -Crash Rougais, Ultros submitted by /u/fedexganon [link] [comments] |
