I know that we love video games. Which games do you think have the best soundtracks?

Personally, soundtracks from Anarchy Reigns (I don't play Anarchy Reigns though) and Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance are my favorites. They are really fucking sick. Also, MGRR has one of the most memorable boss fights for me so far, mostly due to how the soundtracks fit perfectly and cool bosses.

Just listen to some of them...

The Only Thing I Know For Real (MGRR):

Any Halo soundtrack.

Maybe I'm feeling nostalgic here, but Chrono Trigger had really good music for its day. I still enjoy it.

I can tell you you're not alone in thinking that.

Beyond: Two Souls

Yes!

Just used this for my hour-long 'meditation as sleep substitute' experiment. Gorgeous music, thank you for sharing it.

How did the experiment go?

Wellll, it's ongoing. Currently I'm in my sixth day of a '40 up, 8 down' sleep cycle. Meaning that every other day, I've skipped a night of sleep and just... done other things instead. And then stayed up the whole day until when I'd normally sleep, and slept a normal eight-hour shift.

I... don't actually expect anyone to believe that. I think out of everything I've said about my life on this forum, this is the single most genuinely improbable thing I've revealed. I mean, at least in the circles I travel in, kink & polyamory are not uncommon. Mental illness, ditto. But I've read a bit about polyphasic sleep, and... this just isn't a pattern I've ever heard of. I guess I should try to figure out how to Google it, but I'm honestly incredibly busy, and since it doesn't seem to be having any harmful side effects...

I'm also exercising AND eating less, just because that seems to be working for me, so I may be headed back towards my thinner set-point. Also, I'm on the borders of hypomania, which is basically elevated mood and energy. I mean, I'm a LITTLE bit tired right now, but nothing like the horrible dragging exhaustion that was my daily life for about five months.

I don't know, maybe that acted almost like some sort of resistance training. All I know is that nearly everything in my life is going well, and my friends & family seem to think I'm doing well, too. And they're the ones who had to deal with me in my true manic state, in which... well, either I was profoundly delusional or some VERY weird metaphysical shit went down. Honestly not sure which. 

So, yeah, how's your life going? >_<

That can't be healthy. 

You'd think. I'm not even using caffeine, which was previously my drug of choice. The only things I'm taking are my prescribed medications, as prescribed. And I'm not TRYING to stay up. I just... no longer get the escalating sleep cues that will put you under whether you want to sleep or not. I've pulled all-nighters in college & in crunch time. This is nothing like that.

Wait, how long do you have to meditate to get the benefits from a night of sleep?

I have no fucking clue. I was hoping it would put me to sleep, but the music had enough of a narrative arc that it basically turned into something that seemed like what people I know who meditate have called meditation. I don't even have a meditation practice. Tonight I'm gonna put on something I KNOW is just soothing music, and actually sleep. Tomorrow night? WHO THE FUCK KNOWS? >_<

(I'm not actually that upset, to be clear. I'm just taking this day by day, really. And yesterday/today just... doesn't involve sleeping? Hopefully I'll normalize over the weekend.)

Whatever works for you, I guess. :)

Decently. I've made some choices over the last two weeks that have taken a serious toll on my sense of self-worth, but I've found a room to rent about a block away from where I go to school and for about half what it would cost me to rent my own apartment. The person who's renting it out has two roommates that should be moving out at the end of April, so if everything goes as planned, I should be able to move in at the beginning of May.

Self-worth is a renewable stat. Sounds like you did the right thing... or the least-wrong thing. Hope things work out for you in your new space.

Undertale.

Persona 3 and 4; Deadly Premonition

Yeah, they have good songs. My favorite in 3 is Kimi no Kiuku.

The Order: 1886 had a nice soundtrack, even if it was a shit game. 

The Walking Dead season 1 and 2 by telltale had really good soundtracks. I especially liked "Take us back" and "In the pines".

Also, Halo. My favorite track in Halo 3 is "One final effort."
