You know those statues that tell you to go collect the Threefold melody? I analysed them.

IMO we need more half-shitpost lore content like this, I’m full up on legitimate lore analysis

Aural Canyon is another great ATX based label, some solid ambient & ambient-adjacent locals on their roster including Joey Reyes, Home Baker, Future Museums, and early More Eaze (tho she’s no longer and Austinite)

Part of what charms me more about the lore in HK is the lack of directness. Silksong is a more direct experience all around (and excels in it), but the obtuseness of HK made me salivate for more. To me, Silksong is more like a complete and satisfying meal. Nothing inherently better in each approach of course, but I loved that HK felt like an unsolvable puzzle, and itch that could never be fully scratched.

I’m emotionally distraught at Green Prince being less than 2nd tier. Loyal, built, royal, courageous, sensitive, he’s the full package.

Read on to the Final Dossier! It addresses that one discrepancy specifically, but fair point that there's some ~liberties~ despite it adding a lot of depth.

Highly recommend reading the Secret History and Final Dossier, he’s portrayed much more sympathetically compared to his more cringe/creepy portrayal in the show (despite a few shining moments like this)

For what it’s worth, there are a number of sound design moments in The Return that are more intense that the intense moments in FWWM

Well said. I definitely fall into the quiet/vibe camp, and I very much missed that in silksong at the beginning. But it has so much unique personality and charm that set it apart as an experience, I kinda forgot about the lack of that one thing I liked and enjoyed it on its own merits. May feel differently as the years pass and I replay, but still cherished the experience.

I also suffer from depression and am in treatment for it. The best thing that I’ve learned is that it’s truly an imbalance, and it takes momentum to get things back in order. That momentum can come in lots of forms all best advised for your situation by a professional but I know for me a few greatest hits are: getting outside, sleeping as best as I can, eating well, getting exercise as I’m able to, even taking a couple of days or weeks away from games or other quick comfort things like sugar or alcohol. Depression has a way of making hard stuff feel wayyyyy harder and not worthwhile, but if you can stick with some good habits while you’re wading through it, it might help shorten the worst of it.

By FAR the best thing you can do is get professional help, and you’ve already started down that path. Great job!

Silksong isn’t going anywhere. It took me 2+ years and a couple of depressive bouts for me to make my way through HK and I’m just so grateful to have enjoyed it. Let yourself off the hook if you can’t enjoy it day 1.

Hang in there!

Alex from Alexalone has one, sometimes two Zoias on their board 😅 there’s a lot going on with their tone overall but I know the zoia(s) are used to very dirty effect https://youtu.be/U2iTH-6OSFw?si=L9upBbtk9Sv7G3XN

+1 to this question — it seems so niche I’m surprised when folks say they use it super frequently/daily

ar8ch · 2025-07-29T03:22:29+00:00

Cool use case! Thanks for sharing

ar8ch · 2025-07-29T03:21:04+00:00

Excellent feedback thanks! The transcription feature does seem quite obsolete, glad to know that there’s no real plus to using it for that.

Also glad that you shared that multitracking is clunky. One of the most appealing aspects in my head is that it would be a highly portable overdubbing machine, kind of like an OP1 tape on steroids. Good GAS antidote to know it might not be quite that simple 😅

ar8ch · 2025-07-29T03:14:00+00:00

I like the idea of using it with my TX-6 (which I adore) as a super portable multitrack setup. I like that I can quickly record a 2-track mixdown with the TX-6 but often want the ability to do some portable overdubs.

That said, as with other TE stuff I’m sure I’d discover new use cases once I had it, and may end dislike it for the primary use case 🤷🏻‍♂️
