A bit of a GAMING RECAP for this week
posting some new art SOON!! I'm working on something special. From the heart ❤️🎸⚡
With the whole Tango Gameworks situation going down, I wanted to make a statement about it as a teen with mental health issues.
I remember playing the game the day of release. My Dad saw the trailer and thought I'd like it, so he asked if I wanted to play it with him (I play, he watches type scenario). I said yes. If I had said no, I don't know where I'd be today.
Immediately as the game started up, I fell in love. The art style, the colours, the atmosphere, the animation, the characters themselves; it was my dream game. All I ever wanted in life was a rhythm game where EVERYTHING goes with the beat, it had bright colours and relatable characters. This was it. My dream game.
Ever since, I have never stopped loving the game. It was perfect for me. As someone who's neurodivergent, I always found it hard to find just the right game. I hate the thought of liking new things. But this game is everything to me. I beat the game pretty quickly, and then I beat it again. And again. And again.
It was easy to say I found my newest special interest, and my highest one at that.
The game had changed me so much. I found it in January, the month it came out. January is always a shitty month for me because that's the month for me most people call their "depression season".
The days prior, I was at my worst. I almost ended my life several times because I couldn't feel anything anymore. Then once my dad showed me this game, it was like I had found a purpose. I know I shouldn't be getting attached to pixels on a screen, but if you're a mentally ill autistic teenager who can't get enough of music, then that's pretty damn hard.
I found myself coping with this game. Chai is the most relatable character in quite literally all media. It's like I *am* him. He has flaws and it shows, and that's what I like. He has flaws, and he *reasonably* learns from them. That's one thing that makes him SO relatable. I feel happy knowing that there's some fictional character that *gets* me.
With over 500 hours in play time and having the game beat 9 times, we're here now. With the news that Tango Gameworks had everyone cut off. A game studio that experimented with a game, had it work wonders, and then suddenly that's "not enough" according to Microsoft? But why? It was doing so well. We all loved it. Is Microsoft THAT out of touch?
Me, and many others were left heartbroken. I'm still extremely upset about this whole situation. I plan on making a tribute to Tango Gameworks soon.
So, my final message about this is
Thank you, Tango Gameworks.
Hi-Fi RUSH made me a better person. I've put many hours into the game, I've beaten it many times, hell I've even cosplayed Chai. I cannot stress this enough, Thank you for saving my life.
a glass for tango and for the community here. may we continue having fun with the game, the world and its characters.
was going to make a full blown drawing but was eating strawberry pocky while drawing this….. I got too silly…
anyway hc that chai listens to the smashing pumpkins because of that one tweet.
said tweet under cut
DO WE WANT BATHTUB GAME!?!?!?!?
LIKE. REBLOG. NOW.
The missions Mobius gave her had never been easy. Just like her past. She hadn't thought finding Leslie would be a much more difficult mission than any of the others. She thought that she might even lose her life for it, especially when her inappropriate steps were observed...

I wanted to test something a long time ago and I did it out of boredom, so here's the effect if someone is curious
He was his vessel. He became it forever. They shared thoughts and souls with each other. So many... in one body. They were suited to each other.
P.S Maybe nobody probably noticed that but Leslie has Ruvik eyes except that his (if I recognize cleary, he has icy blue eyes)
