Gaming

wanderlust

Weird wake fact: Red Dead Redemption turned me onto the satisfying sound of horse hooves on wooden bridges in open world games. A seemingly unimportant sound effect that, for me, reveals much about that world.

This comes up often in gaming: there are many virtual horses, many more virtual bridges, and they often meet.

And when good meets board, I listen.

My favorites, in no specific order:

RDR1 and RDR2
Ghost of Tsushima
Witcher III
Breath of the Wild

I think first case of this may have been Ocarina of Time riding Epona around, so immersive, riding over stone, grasslands, etc

Degenerate, professional mid-curver, wasting my time at a chain near you

Oooooh yeah. Great historic example. One of the first done really, really well.
