You gotta love that Amiga feel this music gives. By whatever standard of taste in music, I don't think too many people can deny how beautiful this sounds. The Bejeweled 2 full soundtrack. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GLkrW9kluo

I'm not at all a legitimate Amiga fanboy, because my family never had an Amiga computer. But I've seen a bit of what it had to offer game wise, and I'm aware of how it had quite the extensive library of games - somewhere over 20,000, I think? If I were a legitimate Amiga fanboy of an experience with several of its games, I would likely be such an art aficionado that I would be filled with a love of art I simply could not contain. <3

It's been some very slow weeks. I haven't been as inspired to write out something strong and hearty in the recent months, as per my usual writing style, but I've stayed relatively close by to where art loving people gather to maintain focus. Pokemon fans, fans of other smaller or however large franchises, and people who love generalized tropes in various explorative fields of interest, to keep my love of art flowing healthy. Just a few days ago, my mate linked me to this video of a tune from Golden Axe 1 done on an acoustic guitar. Gotta love the classics. :D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWWrD7rT7Hw

I've been very scarce as far as gaming goes, though. Every now and then while out and about with the family, I might play something old-school on an emulator on my PSP, like the CPS2 game "Armored Warriors" - a side-scrolling beat em' up based on content from Capcom's "Cyberbots", but I've had trouble committing to the more weighty of games, like Dissidia 012 [duodecim] Final Fantasy, and others fairly old or more so old, like Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen of the PS3, and Suikoden 1 of the PS1 in "PSXtoPSP" format on my PSP. It's been hard to say I have as much a love of gaming as I have in times past. It's like I need to experience some manner of revival to revitalize my love of gaming - the joy of playing through something made of the ideas of several people, few people, or one individual. Excitement, and wonder. It's hard to experience things in a genuine sense of awe these days. The most recent games I've played - and I mean thee most recent - were Bejeweled 2 Deluxe, and "Vessel" - a steampunk indie puzzle/platformer game of 2012.

I've wanted to somehow express to those who view my journals that they should never give up their love of art, and whatever inspires them to draw, write, arrange/compose, craft, or do whatever it is within the realm of artistry that it is they love to do...but I just haven't had the words. That's been a problem of mine in recent times. As much as I've always had words to express something profound in poetry or narration, I just haven't had them in recent times. I need something - anything - that might help me to see the beauty and value of art once again.

If any of you have any such interesting links to material not commonly made known, I would love to see them. I've wanted reasons of any kind to get back into the habit of writing the frothy kind of fantasy-relevant writing I'm known for, but beyond that, it would just be great to see something of any kind that might jolt my desire to deepen my affinity for the arts. Even if you feel that what you know of isn't that significant, I'd like to see it anyway. :D

There's been a plethora of interesting things floating around in recent times, and if you spend a little time looking away from all the drama and negativity for a while, you're likely to find them. ^^
