Todays rip: 10/12/2023
Wham! Into Dreams
Season 5 Featured on: The Inevitable Holiday Album
Ripped by vvsvlogs (@vvsvlogs)
youtube
Ah, NiGHTS...its the one SEGA franchise that I feel like a lot of people have heard of, and a lot of people love from a distance, yet very few have actually played. And I don't blame them for it - unlike Sonic, Jet Set Radio, Crazy Taxi, Monkey Ball or what have you, the coolness inherent to NiGHTS is specifically related to its weirdness. It's a set of three games that are almost intentionally alienating and strange, games where you need to truly sit with them for a longer while before that emotional connection is made. Yet it happened HARD with me only a few years ago - I now own all three games in the series and listen to the soundtracks regularly. And as a huge fan, it was an absolute delight to uncover SiIva's small-but-excellent handful of rips for the games - among them, Wham! Into Dreams.
Despite sitting above 100 contributions to the channel, vvsvlogs is a name that doesn't ring enough of a bell for me...though, looking at some of the stuff already in my playlists, I think its about time I began bringing more attention to her work. The NiGHTS games, beyond their theming of dreams and surrealism, have always had a big focus on happiness and connections - and by extension, to the holiday spirit. Dreams Dreams from NiGHTS into Dreams and its rearranged versions of Journey of Dreams really do hone in on that angle, these emotional yet happy songs celebrating the joys of human connection - and its one that vvsvlogs takes advantage of and celebrates with Wham! Into Dreams. And yeah, upon first seeing the rip title from the album release, I initially thought it'd be as simple as that - a simple well-done mashup between two very emotionally similar songs. Yet vvsvlogs takes a step further, putting the rip closer to rips like Sunday Morning and Everyday Goodbyes (SiIvaGunner Band Cover). Because the emotions of Wham! Into Dreams are amplified a hundredfold by it being a full-on cover of the original Last Christmas' vocals.
vvsvlogs herself is credited for the vocals, and just off of this rip I'm amazed she hasn't done more singing work. The performance in Wham! Into Dreams is simply breathtaking, simultaneously reserved whilst emotional along the same beats as the original track - yet also helping to bridge the gap between it and Dreams Dreams. It really is what seals the deal for the rip, what makes it go from merely good to full-on incredible - and what led to it becoming a permanent fixture on my playlist as of last week. With just a small handful of rips that I've only just now connected the dots between as having the same ripper, vvsvlogs has quickly shot up as one of my favorite artists at SiIvaGunner. Us NiGHTS fans still remaining are few in number, yet I'm glad people like her are still out there, still spreading the good, heartfelt word about these incredible games.

How To Plan Your Day 🌒📝💡✨
Start the night before. What do you need to do tomorrow to meet your needs? Write down the most important tasks you want to complete the next day. This gives you a clear starting point in the morning.
Create a morning routine that is focused on your well being. Exercise, meditate, read etc.
Make a list of all the things you need to do. Put the most important things at the top of the list.
Divide your day into chunks of time. Decide when you'll do each task.
Estimate the time it will take you to complete each task.
If a big task seems too hard, break it into smaller steps.
Batch the similar tasks together for maximum efficiency.
Try to do one thing at a time. Multitasking might not help you get things done better.
Don't plan too many things. Only plan what you can really do.
Check your progress during the day. Change your plans if things are not going as expected.
At the end of the day, think about what you did and what's left. Learn from what went well and what didn't.
Finish each day with a quick clean up. What can do you now to set up your spaces and routines for both self care and efficiency.
Choose what you'll wear the next day, including clothes, shoes, and accessories. This saves you time in the morning and helps you avoid last-minute outfit decisions.
If you have to take things with you (like a work bag or gym bag), pack it with everything you need. This prevents you from rushing around in the morning to gather your things.
Lay out items you'll need in the morning, like your keys, wallet, or important papers. This way, you won't have to search for them when you're in a rush.
Take some time to wind down before bed. Read a book, practice some light stretching, or do something relaxing to help you sleep better.
Charge your phone, tablet, or laptop overnight so you start the day with fully charged devices.
Set your alarm for the time you want to wake up. Having a consistent wake-up time helps regulate your body clock.
Try to avoid looking at screens (phones, tablets, computers) at least an hour before bed. The blue light from screens can interfere with sleep.
Take a moment to reflect on the day and think about what you're looking forward to tomorrow. Visualizing a positive morning can help set a good tone for the next day.
Pick a weekly prep day and clean the house, meal prep, review your calendar and to do list for the week ahead.

Summary: Will and Helen arrive at the Dream Gate at NiGHTS' request. Their odd jester friend didn't say why, though, leaving them to guess.
At least, until that odd dream jester walks through a door with two other Dreamers in tow.
Or, that NiD and JoD kids meeting each other fic I keep promising to write.
Chapters: 3/3

Because NiGHTS is normally off screen during this scene, we miss getting to see them pretend to climb an invisible step like a mime and then just stand in midair 🧍

Reala’s face when he shoves NiGHTS through the door also isn’t visible in normal gameplay. And then they both get sent to the void
