      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.

      “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.

    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?

      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.

    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.

          Ticket to Ride I think is a little better than Catan and just as (or more) newbie friendly.

          I hate Catan on the same level as Monopoly.

          Though my favourite game is Unfathomable, so what do I know.

          Personally, I’ve become a huge fan of Blokus and have been showing it to people every chance I get. Responses have been very positive.

          I might get a trigon version so it plays nicely with 3 people.

        Even worse, the Brazilian version, Banco Imobiliário, which is what “everyone played” here, was an even worse game than Monopoly.

      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.

      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.

      I’d personally throw the Frostpunk OST in their face and see how they react.

      Especially The City Must Survive.

      If you started with the beatboxed version at that family table, I would back you up with the bzzchek budda bucheck sounds. Greentext’s family doesn’t know the classics.

    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
