It’s all a feed back loop. If all you see is the shit in the world, your world become shit. You have to balance it out.

Side note, they gave me the Wipeout something collection on my PS4. It is a cool game, but super bummed I can’t get the music from the original game soundtrack. Oh I would lose my shit if I could have new graphics with the classic Atom Bomb by Fluke.

Fluke - where did they go? God damn they made some great electronica for a few years.
