There are people that seriously think like this

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.'"'

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:

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 22 points 6 days ago

"Actually I prefer the Donkey Kong Country 1-3 OSTs."

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 18 points 6 days ago

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

Hey now the mario soundtrack is a banger

[–] TORFdot0@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago (1 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

[–] Robust_Mirror@aussie.zone 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Throw Steam Gardens on there too.

Detroit: Become Human theme music make me have an existential crisis

[–] CatZoomies@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days 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).

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.

[–] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days 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

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago

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.

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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.

You're welcome

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)

[–] DerdWurst@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

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.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 3 points 6 days ago

proceeds to AI generate a deahtmetal version of smb3 and cranks it on the family "HIFI"

[–] Doom@ttrpg.network 3 points 6 days ago

Okay but if you literally only listen to video game soundtracks at least try a little

[–] Mwa@lemm.ee 4 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Same bro, game OST (Especially Touhou,Tf2,Halflife and Portal) are the shit.

[–] amon@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

Game freak for all the bad execution they do, have killer soundtracks
