On this all-video episode of ISOS: Host Tyler brings a very meta essay on VGM as a whole and why modern compositions aren't as memorable as the compositions of old. Ryan brings an essay on positive & negative stress in games, with Celeste as a case study. And Brandon finishes off with a monologue on Hollow Knight lore... And there's also an essay to back it. I think, we'll never know.
