This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

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.

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

Yes steam gardens is great. Such a funky tune!

[–] 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.

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

[–] 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

[–] 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.

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

[–] amon@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

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

[–] diemartin@sh.itjust.works 109 points 1 week ago (1 children)

There are people that seriously think like this

[–] emeralddawn45@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 6 days 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.'"'

It's boomer cringe manifest.

I love how it went from a pic to a shop to a meme to now merch.

I'd buy it.

I'm not buying it to give money to Luigi. I'm buying it because it's good art and I am told I can exchange money for things like good art and - here's the neat part - I get good art out of the deal.

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, my dude.

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.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 33 points 1 week 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

[–] JustAnotherKay@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week 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"

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?

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 26 points 1 week 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.

The rare good ending. Not seen very often on greentexts

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 37 points 1 week 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.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

This song is, and always will be a massive banger.

[–] AbsoluteChicagoDog@lemm.ee 18 points 1 week ago (5 children)

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.

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.

[–] kameecoding@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I use doom OST to work out.

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.

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

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 18 points 1 week ago

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

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

Mega Man 2 OST is an incredible work of art.
