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.’”’
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.
That must mean anon also listens to Luigi
We pray to Luigi
Hallowed be thy name. 🙏🏻
I love how it went from a pic to a shop to a meme to now merch.
I’d buy it.

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.
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…
Don’t worry, I’m a gen z who can rollerblade but wants to get better and know cool tricks and shit because I love those game OSTs and wanna pretend I’m one of the characters, despite never having played them (maybe one day I’ll bootleg the JSR games). I also wanna learn how to skateboard to em. I’ll skate in your honor.
I have fucked up loose ankles tho so we’ll see how far I get before I wipeout for the final time
Haha, thanks, yo! JSRF should still be available through Xbox/Microsuck and Bombrush Cyberfunk is on Steam. The OG JSR you’ll have to bootleg since they pulled it from Steam a few months ago.
NFS:MW radio playing on my headphones 24/7.
Need For Speed: Modern Warfare?
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!
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.
“Actually I prefer the Donkey Kong Country 1-3 OSTs.”
Okay but if you literally only listen to video game soundtracks at least try a little
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’d personally throw the Frostpunk OST in their face and see how they react.
Especially The City Must Survive.
I use doom OST to work out.

Mega Man 2 OST is an incredible work of art.
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.
Na na~ nanananana~ na~ na~ na, Katamari Damashii
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.
*someone brings out a fucking trumpet from under the table*
*everyone else starts chirping, doo doodo do doo doo!*
*neighbour leans in the window and starts making deep Jubbajubbadzabajzaba sounds*-Hey!-
I mean, it is a good zing, mate. sometimes, ya just have to eat shit.
Fuck that. This lil bitch is talking shit about Koji Kondo. I won’t stand for that bullshit. Motherfucker needs to get stomped on Mario-style.
