There are people that seriously think like this

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 months ago (1 children)

How does someone's entire conception of video games still involve quarters in (after) 2023. Thats honestly insane to me. Like how do you let that person create any type of art, let alone a tv show based off of a video game, if they have that little awareness of the world around them. Like ehst did this guy do before this. "We want you to make a commercial for our new operating system. 'Oh computers, thats easy. Most computers are pretty simple. You feed in a punch card and you can make the computer do things. MacOS XV changed all that, it doesnt even need punch cards.'"'

A lot of games have great music. Instead of calling it video game music, which absolutely invites people to say stupid shit, just say you generally listen to atmospheric soundtracks.

Growing up in small town east Texas taught me to create euphemisms for all kinds of fun shit.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 3 months ago (1 children)

"Atmospheric soundtracks" might make you sound like a jackwad, especially if it is further clarified that you're talking about video game music

[–] [email protected] 24 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Whenever I come up with euphemisms like this, I'm openly honest about the reason and this has done me a lot of good.

"I call it this because people tend to react this way to the normal phrase, but that view isn't accurate to my experience"

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago

Same. Plus I rarely clarified. Back in the day if someone zinged me anyway I'd generally make a joke about their mom or intelligence using the most hurtful language I could. I do not recommend the last part.

I don't really do it anymore because I'm a middle aged dude who can't give a shit about anyone else's opinion. But I remember what it was like being a teenager who was weird even by teenager standards at a time when being different was not celebrated. I recommend against doing everything I did to protect myself but euphemisms for my hobbies are one I can absolutely recommend.

Video game music fucks. I have the entire Banjo Kazooie soundtrack and the Diddy king racing sound track on my main playlist. Even a couple songs from Zelda, star fox and golden eye.

Yes the N64 was my first console how did you know?

[–] [email protected] 26 points 3 months ago

Every day my grey hairs get greyer. I was already in my gaming prime by the time N64 came around. A seasoned veteran of the gaming world. Having had saved the princess in multiple series, in multiple games, in mjltiple consoles, for over 10 years by that point......

Now the kids ask if I got "Rizz". No. I know not of this Rizz.....what I do have is a very particular set of skills. Skills I have developed over a prolonged career. Skills that make me a nightmare for punks like you. If you put the controller down now, that will be the end of it. I will not pursue you. If you don't, I will look for you, I WILL find you, and I'll plug my toys r us gold exclusive N64 controller into port 2, I will pick Jaws, insist you pick oddjob, and still wipe the floor with you!

Hail to the king, baby!!! Oh, sorry, wrong N64 shooting game.

I have the Jet Set Radio, Jet Set Radio Future, and Bombrush Cyberfunk soundtracks in regular rotation. If only I still had knees so I could rollerblade...

The rare good ending. Not seen very often on greentexts

[–] [email protected] 37 points 3 months ago (8 children)

It's really ironic that a lot of people equate game soundtracks with some sort of "kid music" or something that isn't "real music".

Most of UT2004's OST could be used on a rave and nobody would know any better.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 months ago

UT music made me remind that electronic music can be good in the times when my main exposure for such music were really bad trance songs, but which had (awful) Hungarian lyrics, thus was a "must listen to" in my country.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 months ago (3 children)

I use doom OST to work out.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

The doom OST are absolute bangers. Can't argue with that.

Meh just own it.. Fuck yeah I listen to Mario, have you ever heard the Super Mario Bros. 2 music? Shit is off the chain.

There's a reason it's won game of the year so many years in a row.

I mean, have they heard Mario Odyssey's music? It's really good!

Anon's favourite music genre:

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Sometimes when it’s quiet and I get a moment to sit, ponder, and allow myself to be bored, I’ll hear either The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time title theme song or, if I’m feeling energised, I’ll hear the opening theme for a new game start in Super Mario 64 (where Lakitu is flying around with the camera and Mario jumps out of the warp pipe).

My 2yo goes fucking nuts when Bobomb battle field plays, particularly the Hang onto your Hat remix album. Whole family dancing, kids spinning around, good times had by all.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Ok but Mario slaps so I wouldn’t be offended at all if someone suggested that. Dire Dire Docks, Gusty Garden Galaxy, Super Mario Bros 3 athletic theme? Yes please

Mega Man 2 OST is an incredible work of art.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago (4 children)

I usually say "harder styles of techno" because most people don't know what the hell Hardtekk, gabber, hardcore, Speedcore and Extratone are. Especially Extratone gets quite a lot of undeserved hate. Most people shit on it without even knowing what it is and that it isn't monotone beeping. Melodic Extratone is absolutely great and it uses techniques that you can't do with other genres.

Hey now the mario soundtrack is a banger

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

Literally have multiple playlists that are video games soundtracks. One is just all of the songs, others are game specific. Cyberpunk, Warframe, and Fallout have some of the best music imo

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

damn, they should just listen to the Nier Automata and weep silently

Relatable, I listen to political and historical music and nobody takes me seriously. Sadly people dont appreciate good music :c

(Einheitsfrontlied is beautiful, people just also dont appreciate German music)
