In my mind, this song perfectly captures Sollux before Sgrub. That is, a bipolar shut-in living in an apartment building, spending all his time programming and talking to people he's never met in real life.

[@the_puzzlest]

He probably hadn't touched grass, like ever. (actually, most trolls probably didn't)

[@otherthannormal2344]

Why is it, that the comments for the other trolls songs are people talking about how much they love the characters and going into deep conversations about their character development and all I see on Solluxs are "Oh is this Mario cart?" and a 12 page rant on sonic.

[@Nick-wi3kd]

Hey, Mario Kart rules.

[@rb4121]

It’s what Sollux would have wanted

[@Hannah-xw4pk]

What happened to the 12 page rant?? I think I'm too late ;_;

Wrong typing quirk. I think that's Aradia's.

[@diamondbirdy0179]

well I cant blame you if you are in about the 5th act or around somewhere there, as later in the serie (spoiler) his quirk became like Aradia's... for some.... actions.... (im trying so hard not to give you any spoilers)

I really like the "atmosphere" of this song. It reminds me of when you step into an arcade and you can hear all of the different games playing their music at once, the place is dark but the neon glow of all different colors is hitting you from every angle as you're navigating the way towards your favourite game

[@foxkindedAggressor]

Nah. It reminds me of a old Amiga tracker music. The instruments. The vibe. ALL OF IT 😜

+Leon Bittencourt (TᔕᑌᖇIᗷᗩEᖇI) To me, all Dirk themes and the ones intended for him (like this one) could also be used for Tomoe Mami, ironically.

[@MadameSomnambule]

Sounds more like Sonic CD tbh. Though if I had to compare this to a Mario Kart track, the closest would be Rainbow Road from Super Mario Kart.

[@isaac5990]

When it came on I thought it was Earthbound!

Sounds more like something out of a PS1 game to me.

Sollux's song is so upbeat compared to Psiionic's melancholy song.Good artist,best music.

[@ColdDraga]

Glad to know I'm not the only one to get a Sonic CD vibe from this.

[@ultimamage3]

True story, I misremembered the alt title to this and thought that this was originally "Dirk's Dersite Dirge" before getting repurposed to fit Sollux, and for the longest time I didn't get how this could originally be a Dirk song at all. "Who drops a track this sick for a DIRGE? .... oh right. Dirk would. Ironically. Never mind." and then it turned out this was really "Playtime is Over" and my fail was fixed. I still would've accepted this being some kind of ironic dirge though.

[@CrazyKirlia]

I thought it had a Sonic CD feel to it! Love the song. I actually think this fits Sollux better than Dirk, but that's probably an unpopular opinion. Oh well!

[@erkastepka95]

You can definatly hear the difference between the ancestors and the trolls in this album, and I like that.

[@qwertyqeys]

Play this song twice at the same time at slightly different intervals. Amazing.

sort of reminds me of the menu music of an old pc game called labyrinth, which came with the microsoft XP Plus! disc, along with Russian squares and hyperbowl. its not a strong resemblance, but it does make me think of it at some points great times
