DingCom Reviews, or Records of Emotion - Footage Not Left, Hearts Left Behind

Sometimes the moments you don't record are the ones that stick with you the most.
The game is gone, but the warmth of that day lingers in my heart.

🎥 Unrecorded moments, more clarity than regret

That was it.
The day I played DingCom for the first time with Quilla and Coreng.
I didn't even realize the UI covered the screen,
I believed I was recording those precious moments.

Hindsight is 20/20.
I realized that the Diary UI that opened when I pressed ESC was covering the entire screen.

I was a bit deflated and disappointed.
But strangely,
Those moments stayed in my mind more clearly than the video.

🐦 Scenes that are gone, scenes that live on in our minds.

The moment you received your green glider.
See a sleeping bag floating on the water,
“The ”What is this?" moment.
A scene of Quilla teasing Coreng as “buaya” (crocodile).
And...
When you catch a silver perch and give it to Quilla,
The small gestures of admiration and appreciation she showed.

Those scenes are no longer in the video,
If anything, it's sharper because of it.

🧶 The emotion of connection is more valuable than video

At first, I thought it was just a relaxation game,
We walked together in the ding-com,
We slept together, exchanged gifts, and talked.

It's just pixels and animation.
Those emotions are It wasn't fake.

💭 No record, but the emotion remains

The me who tried to write everything down.
But sometimes, It's the moments you don't have that are more precious.

That Day at DingCom
Not on my computer,
It's very clear in my mind.

🐢 Emotional comment...

“There are days when records aren't everything.
The emotions left behind in a scene that's gone are remembered, maybe even longer.”

Is this a review of DingCom? Is it an emotional essay...?
