ゴメンナサイ

Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

Does anyone around here turn off the music in videogames and play your own? If so, do you go for something to match what you're playing or just what you like?

Personally I've found that electro-swing medleys are an excellent choice for action games.

Only if the game has very repetitive music/no important gameplay cues in the sound. I'll put on my own playlist for Minecraft, for instance.

I've been doing this basically since I started playing video games, and despite my music tastes shifting wildly between then and now, I occasionally bust out the embarrassing stuff when it's the right time (aka moments when I really feel the urge to play some Need for Speed game and therefore need to dust off my ancient dir en grey playlist that literally only still exists for this reason). Pretty sure a lot of it stems from when my old roommate's boyfriend and I binged out on the snowboarding minigame in FFVII for literal days and realized that Cake's Fashion Nugget album seemed to give it a new life. Yes, both of those things were still entirely relevant at the time. My friends and I spent a lot of time and effort trying to match up music to FF cutscenes too; FFX was our favorite because there was a whole goddamn theater you could replay the scenes at, at your leisure and that was A+ in our books. (Leonard Nimoy's Bilbo Baggins song, set to Auron showing up and looking badass in Luca, never 4get etc)

Sometimes it's super specific; the Junkie XL remix of that Elvis song is fucking hilarious when you're playing Xiaoyu in Tekken Force mode in Tekken 4. These days, because I'm old and tired and a lot less motivated, it's generally whatever I'm listening to at the time getting attached to the game itself where when I go back to the game later I have to put the music on. F+TM's Ceremonials got attached to Diablo 3. Glitch ended up tied to My Brightest Diamond's All Things Will Unwind when that was around. VNV Nation/Apop and other 90's/00's EBM in that vein for the Mass Effect series. The most effort I put into it is the playlists I used to build for my specific favorite commanders in Guild Wars 2.

If you do like doing stuff like this though, you might check out Audiosurf. Inexpensive, soothing mindrelease of a game where you choose your own soundtrack and it builds courses for you based on what you've chosen.
