I’m not a concert-hopper. I usually only went to one every couple months when it was safe, and I haven’t really been to many music festivals either. But there is an intense feeling of community that comes from making music with people, from listening to music with people, and from going to a show and watching people create music together in a communal environment. And for me, especially at a time at which many other forms of connection are dangerous, the fact that FUSER has been able to capture some of those connections in video game form has helped remind me to be more present in my own life. It’s a little taste of a party when parties can’t happen, and that helps me feel more in touch with myself and my loved ones, even when they’re not playing the game with me.
