The hacker known as 4chan was dead! It's back up now! Minus /f/, the old flash board. That's where vip.swf was first released into the wild around 17 years ago. F /f/, indeed. So this update is for 4chan and /f/, where memes and dreams are/were born, for better or for worse. How is a 4chan-themed update supposed to go? I dunno lol. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I'mma just add some random shit from nostalgic composers and whatever games that might have been shilled on /v/. Code: Bomb Rush Cyberfunk - GET ENUF Bomb Rush Cyberfunk - DA PEOPLE Bomb Rush Cyberfunk - Funk Express (Extended Version) Let's begin with Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, a stylish game that pays homage to Jet Set Radio. They even got the original legendary composer, Hideki Naganuma, to compose for them. Code: Fantasian - Rebirth Fantasian - Resonating Hearts Fantasian - Kina (Destiny) Continuing with another classic composer, here's Nobuo Uematsu who composed the music for this latest game by the father of Final Fantasy, Hironobu Sakaguchi, and his team at Mistwalker. Uematsu composed for pretty much all of Mistwalker's works, starting with Blue Dragon. Code: Soul Covenant - Marching Towards Death Soul Covenant - Requiem for the Mechanism Soul Covenant - Where Souls Will Meet Again Soul Covenant - Sonata of the Hollow God And yet another composer of the classics, Yasunori Mitsuda, composed the music for this unknown VR action game. This is one of the few times he composed much of a game's OST in recent years. Most of the time, it's just one or two tracks, with the rest of his studio doing the grunt work. While still pretty good, don't expect Chrono Trigger quality. He was trying to channel his inner Keiichi Okabe with this one. Code: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 - Une vie à t'aimer Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 - Une vie à peindre Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 - Monoco Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 - Visages - Portrait Imparfait Speaking of Nier-like, I had a look at a playthrough of the prologue of Expedition 33, and holy hell, it seems pretty dark and intense. I also heard the composer cooked on the OST for 5 years! That's a whole lot of cooking! So I had to give this gourmet baguette a listen. Code: FlipWitch - Forbidden Sex Hex - Tengoku Love FlipWitch - Forbidden Sex Hex - Switchcraft FlipWitch - Forbidden Sex Hex - Hieroglyphmix Flipwitch is a game. Code: Heaven Burns Red - After You Sleep Heaven Burns Red - Hoshino Bohyo Heaven Burns Red - Sad Creature Heaven Burns Red - Arifureta Battle Song ~Itsumo Sentou wa Mendou da~ So I've been playing a lot of Heaven Burns Red. It's a gacha game made by an actual VN writer. Jun Maeda, the same dude that wrote Clannad almost 20 years ago, has been on a rocky road ever since. HBR is the 2nd gacha game to make me cry, and it's made me cry buckets. It's so strange - the chapters and side stories drag on and on, sprinkled with some absurd humor, and then BAM, right in the kokoro. Code: Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail - In Fulgur and Fire Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail - Pernelle, Clef Heima, Silia - Bee My Honey -funk ver- Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail - It's Showtime! FFXIV is another game I've been playing and have been for years now. The latest expansion was quite shit. In fact, I just finally beat it after 8 months. I found almost no part of the story enjoyable. I almost wanted the Garleans to be the bad guys again. Even the OST is pretty weak - fewer standout bangers compared to Shadowbringers or Endwalker. BTW, the "Bee My Honey" arrangement was sung by Pernelle, who also happens to sing for a few Nikke tracks. Code: Stellar Blade - Mothersphere Stellar Blade - Everglow Stellar Blade - Democrawler Stellar Blade - Flooded Commercial Sector Speaking of Nikke and Pernelle (and Nier), here's Stellar Blade. It turns out the guy who made Nikke is a huge Nier fan, and so he created his own. Here's an article of Yoko Taro and Hyung-Tae Kim basically just glazing each other. Hell, even the music studio behind Nier was involved in the OST. And then there was the collab. Code: Terraria: Calamity Mod - Roar of the Jungle Dragon Terraria: Calamity Mod - Universal Collapse Terraria: Calamity Mod - Stained, Brutal Calamity Terraria: Calamity Mod - Catastrophes before the calamity Finally, here's music from some Terraria mod. In other news, I now have a second patron!
