i decided not to look at all all of it because it seems very samey throughout
this is the problem with songs compilations they are all fucking boring as hell and all of the songns in them begin to make you start to go just a little bit insane after hearing them for too long genuinely only the jamesjan aries map has made me Not feel like this about a songs comp and thats because its an album its Designed To Be A Collected Experience from the beginning
i respect the amount of effort (i could never personally commit to a project like this) but like i feel like its kinda a waste when any Opportunity of something cool has been shot dead in the water before even starting on it
"making ur map a y = mx + b difficulty curve is a trend that ultramarathon mappers need to STOP" 100% agree
actualy i get this vibe from a lot of older maps i think we should bring back obnoxious skins and 4:3 sbs and amv backgrounds and good mapping styles thanks
02:23:886 (1) - this account is a hollow wings alt (real)
its genuine to the point of being "cringe" and i think that makes it very charming as a map i cant even lie. fares better in wat its trying to accomplish than most maps so like yeah i like it quite a bit i think :thumbsup:
this bangs ngl, its very groove-focused and its executed rly well. i also really like how it showcases a great understanding of gameplay bc it has a very dynamic control of cursor velocity that isnt bruteforced by virtue of sv (which is something that u dont see very many ppl do to this consistency anymore ime)
that being said........................ pattern collection......... patterns stripped of context....... samples stripped of context............................... shit i kind of like it now
i agree with me in the past but i think i understand What it is about it now its trying so hard to be like a map thats Played (to . limited success as is) that it makes so many sacrifices 2 representation and ends up being very pattern collection-y and i think thats a little silly
"it won best vanilla map on the 2023 mca" Nahhhhhhhh i mean im not too much of a fan of the style of maps like this but copme on theres gotta be Something that knocks this th fuck out
"sometimes u can just tell that whoever mapped a song really wanted to tell everyone that the song is cool and how the song is cool in their way (map)" 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 THANK you this whole analysis goes hard as fuck but that part in particular is just mmm
this map is funny to me becausei f2ed into it and then shitmapped the intense song edning 8in like 2018 and now its just on my profile its so bad its really fucking bad but it was a good vehicle to just express literally Anyhthing
this map is another that goes SO fucking hard to me despite me finding the other stuff from this person to be Aight like god damn this one is fucking awesome
i think ina lot of ways this map is extremely Cathartic its like thje equivalent to just pushing down emotions until u cant anymore and it manifests itself in this violent explosion of expression. its kinda almost like autistic masking?? yeah i think this map is kinda great in that way like fuuuck*
*: obviously this is My Interpretation Of This Map this is not me saying this is what this map was Going For but this is how i relate to and understand it ok that out of the way
like there are these bits in the song where the guitar just starts to go wild before dropping off and i think thats represented masterfully (00:28:106 (1,2,3,1,2,3,1,2,1,2,1,2,3,4,5,6,1,2) -) because thats like THE experience of like those brief moments where you are so Done anbd Exhuasted that you stop giving a shit about ur optics before coming back to being hyperaware about urself and the people around you to the point that you are like "oh god oh god no i need to stop" and then force it down
in a lot of ways this can result in overcorrection and you end up restricting urself from doing things that plenty of Normal People do all the time which i think can b demonstrated with the highly conservative rhythm choice in a lot of the map. in the choruses theres this recurring slow 3/4 slider that definitely stands out in a weird way but in a too-rigid sense isntead of the opposite mentioned in the earlier paragraph ig (00:44:369 (4) - )
this culminates in the solo. tyhis is like when ur approaching the end of a long day masking and all u wanna do is just go home and chill the fuck out so u may be less hyperaware than usual. u finally Get home and when you hit ur bed ur just like FUuuuuuuuck whyiseverydaysohardgodijustwanttoliveinpeaceauauuguhhhihatemycoworkersihatethisstupidfuckingjobfuckimgonnakillsomeonecanigoonedaywithoutmisinterpretingtheintentionsofeveryonegoddamn and all of that held in shit comes flowing right back up to tghe surface resulting in a Purging and Release ion the form of 01:57:317 (1) - and then ESEPCIALLY 02:00:632 (1) -
the visual pattern of the very beginning of the map where its building building building in intensity before being cut off is Inverted here (02:04:264 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3) - ) as sort of a calming down of sorts. lettin it go bc u acnt do anything about it and the alternative is Much Much Worse. however u are at home now and so you dont exactly Need to be anything at all and so u can b weird without consequence like fuck it why not just randomly get out of your chair and run around the apartment for a bit (02:13:738 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) - and 02:19:738 (2,3,4) - etc) its not like ppl can see you and its fun!! :D
then u do some stuff and you realize how at ease u feel compared to earlier in the day and ur like damn . this shits fucked maybe i need to talk to someone about this
02:32:053 (1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1) - i think a lot of autistic ppl upon realizing that they have masked their whole lives tend to have a sort of response of grief over a kind of indeterminate thing theyve lost or i guess were forced into giving up and this can unearth a whole world of intense emotions. i know i did !! :)
in a way the final chorus and ending are sort of a synthesis between the two opposed sides of masking and being completely unmasked. in a lot of ways masking is important and useful to autistic ppl even if it can feel forced and suppressing. its just an extra mental load we have 2 keep up w. and so while we get more comfortable w just the basic facets of ourselves we inevitably have to deal with the world and we resort to masking in some part regardless. theres still the familiar staples of the slow 3/4 slider and other rhythm choices but theres flourishes of eccentricity like the movement in parts like 02:55:106 (2,3,4,5) -
that was way longer than i intended on it being its probably a little incoherent my point is Please check out this map its soooo fuycking good and maybe im alone in this kind of emotional experience but i hoep u can understand why i like it maybe :)
