Bang Dream! is My Favourite Game Right Now

Image
Bang Dream! is my favourite game right now. But for a while, I was having trouble explaining why I like it so much. Yes, the illustrations are gorgeous, the songs are fun, the mechanics are user-friendly... but all of those things can't explain why I don’t get bored of this game even after playing for more than 3 months. I always knew that it was about the story. But I couldn’t tell exactly what part of the story was it. Well, it seems that I have found the answer today: BanG Dream! is willing to face its own problems with the story. I'll give you a few examples with the bands (some spoilers , of course). When I first played this game, I looked at each band on a glance, and I thought that Pastel*Palettes is the most cheesy. I mean, an idol band? What kind of uninspired idea is that? And just look at their outfit! Are they even taking this seriously? But boy, was I wrong. When I read their Band Story , I quickly realized that Pastel*Palettes is actually one o

Speaker Pertama Saya: Oontz Angle Solo

Beberapa waktu lalu, saya melihat video ini dari channel YouTube GadgetIn : Sebenarnya, tujuan saya menjelajah YouTube saat itu bukanlah untuk mencari speaker, tetapi untuk melihat review mengenai Redmi Note 7 yang baru saja dirilis di Indonesia. Redmi Note 7 adalah smartphone yang sangat menarik. Tapi, saya sudah terlanjur membeli Redmi Note 5 Pro , dan kelihatannya perbedaan antara Note 7 dengan Note 5 Pro tidak terlalu signifikan (entah kenapa, Note 7 versi Pro tidak dibawa masuk ke Indonesia). *** Kembali lagi ke soal speaker. Semenjak ‘diracuni’ oleh teman saya untuk membeli SOUNDMAGIC ES18 , saya memang sudah jatuh cinta ke dunia audio. Karena hobi saya ini, saya sudah menghabiskan cukup banyak uang untuk membeli beberapa earphone dan headphone. Namun, saya belum pernah sekali pun membeli speaker. Seperti yang kita ketahui, speaker yang biasa ada di HP ataupun laptop biasanya… ya begitulah. Memang detailnya cukup bagus, tapi siapa pun yang suka bass pasti akan merasa

Can You See Me?

How are you? Are you okay? Does it hurt somewhere? Are you hiding something? I hope there’s nothing wrong with you. Do you know how it all began? Do you know, why do I have to go through all this? Tell me, am I doing something wrong? I don’t even know how to live “normally” anymore. There’s only a faint memory of that time. When I don’t have to shoulder all these worries. Can you feel it? Can you feel the cold lurking behind these walls? Are you too scared to get closer? Are you trying to ignore it? Will you share some of your warmth, even if it hurts you? Can you see it? Can you see this carving on my skin? I made it just for you. I wish you could see how beautiful it is. Won't you accept me? If I show you a different color, would you still smile at me? If everyone turns their back on me, would you stay by my side? Even if the world rejects me, won't you let me sing a love song?

What If There Are Two of Me?

24 February 2021: I don't really agree anymore with many of the things I've said here. *** I’m not really sure when did I start thinking about this, but I’m sure that this thought is at least partly inspired by ( WARNING: SPOILER! )  this movie . What’s interesting is that I might not be the only one who has this thought. If I recalled correctly, one of my friends brought up this topic in one of our conversation. He said that it’d be fun if there is an extra copy of himself. Well, I had been thinking thoroughly about this matter, and I quickly said to him that it might not be that fun. First of all, having two persons with exactly the same mind is really complicated and could lead to unexpected outcomes. I can’t list all of the possibilities, but there are a few scenarios that came to my mind. Since we have exactly the same mind, when we meet each other, it’s possible that we both would be doing exactly the same action. I’d say “WTF!” and he’d say the same, I’d open my eyes w

Silence is Not Always Golden

Halo, guys ! Akhirnya aku kembali menulis di blog ini lagi. Kali ini, aku menggunakan Bahasa Indonesia lagi (karena tulisan ini khusus ditujukan untuk orang-orang Indonesia). Selain itu, kali ini aku juga akan menceritakan sesuatu yang berfaedah, tidak seperti kebanyakan tulisan di blog ini wkwk . *** Beberapa hari yang lalu, aku memperoleh cerita yang sangat menarik saat sedang mengikuti kuliah Pengetahuan Lingkungan ( Environmental Science ). Materi kuliah hari itu adalah ‘Ekosistem’. Setelah basa-basi selama beberapa menit, sang dosen bertanya, “Apa itu ekosistem?”. Seketika seluruh kelas pun sunyi, tidak ada seorang pun menjawab. Dosen itu pun tertawa sambil geleng-geleng, kemudian menginterupsi kuliah untuk memberikan sebuah cerita: “Saya mau cerita. Saya dulu pernah ikut kursus Bahasa Jerman. Di kelas ada orang Indonesia, Jepang, dan Amerika. Menurut kalian siapa di kelas itu yang paling banyak ngomong/bertanya? Jawabannya orang Amerika. Walaupun mereka ga begitu paham, te

Finally, A Post About Love

WARNING! This post contains major spoilers from No Game No Life Zero (anime), Doki Doki Literature Club (game), and Nagi no Asukara (anime). I highly recommend you to watch/play all these stuff before reading this post, but you're free to ignore this warning (e.g. if you're not interested in anime at all). YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED . You may now continue or leave as you wish. *** I've been wanting to write a post about this for a while, but I never figured out a proper way to write it. But magically, two days ago I realized that the problem all this time is that I was afraid of telling the world about this very subject: love. So, today, I decided to eat up all my doubts and go ahead to tell you about how I truly feel. The truth is that, for quite a while, I had this mindset of "I don't really need a girlfriend, I'm fine being alone". There's no girl that I'm particularly interested about, and I believed that dating is just a waste of money.

Loss

Before I lost my laptop , I’ve lost my shoes, about 6 months ago. It was a still shiny new when I lost it. Of course, I was angered and confused. But ultimately, I was able to console myself. “This is bad. But this is not the worst thing that could happen. You know, I could’ve lost my phone or even my laptop.” *** Now, let me tell you a story of a young girl. She is a shy girl. She doesn’t have many friends, but she has a very cheerful and loving older sister. Thanks to her sister, she can find some nice friends in the school. This girl really likes to sing. She often sings alone in her room or in the bathroom, and her sister would tell her how wonderful her voice is. But she has a problem. Because of her shyness, she would get really nervous in front of a lot of people. Unfortunately, the music class in her school requires her to sing in front of the entire class. As expected, her voice becomes very shaky and stiff whenever she was told to sing. Luckily, because of the help o
