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

How do you even notice these things? How does a random image remind you of details like this?😅
Most of the time, I’m usually oblivious of these details

Most people don't take specific notice. But if the sound effect were /wrong/ it would immediately stand out. They did their job well and so the detail stays invisible to most people.

Not me. I like knowing why dreams are convincing 🫡

yeah. humans are good at noticing what's wrong and fully habituated to what's right, especially in gaming. We just don't notice correctness as quickly as we notice errors. Humans are prediction machines, after all.

I don't do this intentionally. 
I find peace in the small stuff.

Truee, I think majority of people are guilty of this, they immediately notice the negative/awkward sound but don’t give credit to the little details that come off good
You’re the kind of person a music producer would give a beat sample to, to help detect background noise😅

Did you build this through meditation ?
