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.'"'
It's boomer cringe manifest.
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.
"Atmospheric soundtracks" might make you sound like a jackwad, especially if it is further clarified that you're talking about video game music
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"
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.
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.
Try being into board games. "Oh like Monopoly" NO NOT LIKE A 100 YEAR OLD GAME INTENTIONALLY DESIGNED NOT TO BE FUN AS A CRITICISM OF CAPITALISM. There have been new board games made in the last century and they're actually fun.
I wish Catan was the go-to boardgame instead of Monopoly.
Ticket to Ride I think is a little better than Catan and just as (or more) newbie friendly.

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.
I use doom OST to work out.
The doom OST are absolute bangers. Can't argue with that.

There's this music genre in Brazil called funk (different to the US funk from the 70), and they're pretty experimental on what they mix in and they use a lot of chip tune and other video games songs mixed. One of those DJs (DJ Bassan) regularly mix in donkey Kong or Chrono Trigger OST in the middle of her sets.

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.
Anon's favourite music genre:
"Actually I prefer the Donkey Kong Country 1-3 OSTs."
I mean, have they heard Mario Odyssey's music? It's really good!
Hey now the mario soundtrack is a banger
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

Detroit: Become Human theme music make me have an existential crisis
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).
Ocarina of Time soundtrack lives in my head rent free too. For me, its usually Lost Woods, everyone who played remembers the tune even if they don't know the name.
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
Mega Man 2 OST is an incredible work of art.
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.
I like gabber but don't know some of the others, I'll have to look them up, thanks!
Hardtekk is a genre quite popular in Germany. Its know for having not much melodies, being repetitive and using a lot of distortion so that everything sounds a bit cheap. It is also quite popular in combination with German rap.
Speedcore is techno with 400+ bpm and Extratone is everything above 3600 BPM. This is The Rate at which the beats turn into a single tone and you can't hear the single beats.
Hardcore is the evolution of Gabber with harder kicks and a usually darker theme. Nowadays hardcore is heavily influenced by Uptempo. This is why I prefer the old school hardcore over the newer stuff (Uptempo is cool, but I want to listen to hardcore but Uptempo light).
Another genre I like to listen to is terrorcore which is insanely brutal underground hardcore.
Examples for Hardtekk:

Examples for Melodic Extratone:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HaK_MR0KXg
Examples for Extratone:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkivY3wwQHc (this one is technically Splittercore, but it does has good Extratone elements)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i85jXEhukz8 (the end is Extratone)
Examples for speedcore in general:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOU4WDMchMY (check out the part starting at 4:20 that shit is sick)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pRpkbJdqVg
Examples for oldschool hardcore:

Examples for terrorcore:

Speedcore and Extratone are devinetively nothing that's gonna become mainstream, but it devinetively doesnt deserves the hate it gets.

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)
Skyrim and Fallout 3 soundtracks are masterpieces that take me out of the mundane existence of my job. There is so much good music composed for video games.
proceeds to AI generate a deahtmetal version of smb3 and cranks it on the family "HIFI"
Okay but if you literally only listen to video game soundtracks at least try a little
Same bro, game OST (Especially Touhou,Tf2,Halflife and Portal) are the shit.
that's why I always say "idk"
Anon should have kept his rifle by his side
