Final Fantasy X, the fifth-best Final Fantasy game (don’t @ me), holds up pretty well after 15 years. But one part that doesn’t is the hero Tidus’ disturbing, nightmarishly forced laugh. Fortunately, there’s now a mod that fixes that flaw in the game after all these years… by replacing all of the dialogue (and a lot of the music) with this cackle: 

Holy shit. Johnny Mac, the mad genius behind this upgrade, was incredibly thorough in his dissection and Tidus-fication of the game. Just try to make it through this 2-minute trailer:

And if you can somehow stomach that, you might be ready for the complete soundtrack. All three hours of it. 

I’m an hour and 20 minutes in, and I’m starting to get Stockholm syndrome. What if I were to tell you that the laugh is actually… good? It’s not even distracting after a while, it’s just the air you breathe. Eventually, you’ll forget you’ve ever heard any other sound, and then you’ll achieve enlightenment.
