Katamari made me cry again.

[DianeInsetinha]

I'm currently playing we♡katamari. When I found out you could go onto the cosmos and see the prince's planet I immediately locked onto it and started starring at the screen, in silence, in the dark while listening to the soundtrack.

When I finished the first katamari, I did the same. I started hugging my pillow as hard as I could while staring at the screen, just looking at the menus and wondering about life, crying because of fear, but also thinking about the comfort of things.

I'm at the end of my teenage years (gonna be 17 in a few months and 18 next year), it was a terrible age. My childhood was pretty rough, so when I stare at the screen, I just feel like a kid again. Even though the feeling is bad, there's still some comfort in the glow of the CRT, of the cute music.

Even if I didn't had a good childhood or good teenage years, I have the cozy comfort of katamari to welcome me. To make me question things, to accept truths that hurt, but also to think that maybe, the only thing I have is the future that I'll come.

Maybe, someday in the future, I'll wake up and notice that I've had a comfortable few years, that I did the right choices and got to see a life where I don't have to fear or to get stressed by things that soon won't matter. Maybe, I'm the path for it, maybe, staring at the katamari damacy screen and crying like a child again is the right choice in the current moment.

Maybe, someday, a will finally know, but for now, I just love katamari damacy.

I saw some people posting things like this here on this website, so decided to do the same. Lol

 

[Yousef]

Was a nice story. Don’t worry.
Happy for you though
Or sorry that happened

You've inspired me to play the Katamari games, so thanks for that.
If you don't mind playing even older games, I recommend Quackshot for the Sega Megadrive/Genesis! It has great music and fun puzzles.

Also, I hope you don't mind me offering some unsolicited advice, but seeing as how you're still young, I really encourage you to do physical exercise. It might not solve all your problems, but when you change yourself, you change the world.

I had a rough teenaged life as well and I'd like to think I'm living proof it can get better. Please be kind and patient with yourself, and never be afraid to cry, it's when you find you're no longer able to that you have something to worry about.

Cool story bro, I can see that you love this game very much. And I think you're gonna do great in life. But for now, enjoy this game as much as you can. All I can say is that…whatever happens, happens

 

[DianeInsetinha]

Thanks, but I've already tried physical exercise and let's just say... it didn't end great lol

Man, don't feel too bad. Sure, life is finite, and right now a lot of things are uncertain in our modern day. But it's experiences like this right here that make it worth it. I cried really hard the other night watching a Madea movie of all things. I Can Do Bad All By Myself was the movie. They portrayed the abusive household the kids were in really well and it kinda took me back to my bad experiences. I haven't cried that hard in a long time, but I feel like I needed it. I don't like talking about that stuff too often because I don't want it to be a "poor me" situation, I'm not looking for pity, but at the same time it's something I feel I haven't acknowledged enough for a long time and that pain is still deep within me waiting for moments like the other night to pop off. I really only focused on my sister ever since we got rescued by our grandparents and I've never really took the time to work on my own trauma. Every therapist I go to has sucked, but that's something that is really hard to get right. Last one I had yelled in my face because he thought I was trying to brush off his advice. Stopped going to him right then and there. Need to find a new one.

Being a really really really REALLY big nerd and really really soft helps you make some good introspective stuff.

Be weird. Be free.

That's what games are for. You're part of the story, even if it's not the main one.

Katamari is a very moving game. It helps that the soundtrack is so beautiful
