Masashi Hamauzu: The Splendid Performance

Posted on September 4, 2025 by Stupidity Hole

One listen. Went in, wrote, got out. Wait, that’s not entirely true. I fell behind a bit and then managed to catch up and I’m not sure if that comes through or not. The writing does have a bit of … Continue reading →

Posted on January 4, 2025 by Stupidity Hole

This took way, way too long. I started playing through Final Fantasy VI Pixel Remaster shortly after finishing Final Fantasy V Pixel Remaster, and I hit a point where I sort of burned out and put it down. Picked it … Continue reading →

Nobuo Uematsu: The Mines of Narshe

Posted on December 14, 2024 by Stupidity Hole

One listen. This is a song I’m quite familiar with, and my comfort in that familiarity may have hampered the writing a bit as instead of switching off, I wrote what I already thought, mainly. There are some parts of … Continue reading →

Hitoshi Sakimoto: The Tomb of Raithwall

Posted on December 10, 2024 by Stupidity Hole

One listen. I wanted to try and pull out the “stuffiness” of the song, or rather that’s what was coming to me, but I didn’t feel right putting that forward, so I didn’t, or rather tried not to overtly state … Continue reading →

Hitoshi Sakimoto: Abandoning Power

Posted on December 8, 2024 by Stupidity Hole

One listen, and to be honest I thought I’d have more to say. It’s a short piece but a rich one, but not much came forward. Happens. Hitoshi Sakimoto’s (崎元 仁) “Abandoning Power” (“捨て去りし力”) is from the soundtrack for Final … Continue reading →

Hitoshi Sakimoto: The Dalmasca Estersand

Posted on December 4, 2024 by Stupidity Hole

One listen. I think I’ve thought about doing this one before and didn’t. Decided to give it a go a few days ago, and now have done it, and I’m not sure what to make of what I wrote. Could … Continue reading →

Posted on December 2, 2024 by Stupidity Hole

One listen. Heard this song for the first time in a while a few days ago. Onto the list of things I wanted to write about very soon after. Threw myself in and I think I got a little stuck, … Continue reading →

Nobuo Uematsu: Opening Theme

Posted on December 2, 2024 by Stupidity Hole

One listen. Wanted to write about this song for a few days and had concerns that I already had, but apparently I hadn’t, unless I did, in which case I can’t find what I wrote, so… yeah. I think I … Continue reading →

Masashi Hamauzu: March of the Dreadnoughts

Posted on October 4, 2024 by Stupidity Hole

One listen. Threw myself in, had to play catch up for a bit and got there in the end. Not great, but parts of the song are covered well enough. Masashi Hamauzu’s (浜渦 正志) “March of the Dreadnoughts” (“ドレッドノート大爆進！”) is … Continue reading →

An Essay on Choosing the World Outside Gaming

Posted on September 28, 2024 by Stupidity Hole

About a month ago I wrote this rambling essay that I might refine at some point. Not sure. It could do with a lot of editing, but I don’t plan on editing it for readability, nor publishing. This was written … Continue reading →
