So, AnonRunzes. You said: "Read the first post of this thread and try to deny the fact that drexl is afraid to talk with anyone that doesn`t share his interests." If you've read more carefully, then you would have read and understood the third paragraph where I am saying that in all of my other hobbies and passions I could find real tangible human beings to click, spend time with and enjoy our interests together, but only regarding VGM I couldn't find anybody else which of course is hard sometimes.
So what you don't seem to understand ultimately is an answer to this by maxton: "Why do you feel such an intense need to find other people in person who like VGM?" Because that's how I am, what I want and how I feel good. I am not only an individual being, but also a social one.
I hope we can keep things civil here. The right answer to "I feel bad" might be "you shouldn't feel bad", but phrasing that as an insult doesn't help. And if you're not trying to help, please just don't say anything.
It might be cool to check out MAGFest or another game music-heavy event, finding a lot of like-minded fans in the flesh might be satisfying. (Though it's arguable how much game cover bands count.)
I read that more "carefully" as "it really is hard to find people who are interested in VGM", because of course it is hard to find these kind of people who are interested in just that outside of video game communities, especially those who are actually interested in video game music.
And by the way, isn't this what the purpose of this whole message board is about? VGM music?

Sometimes it's okay to have someone who can have different interests, so you don't have to be stuck with finding people who like VGM if that's what you are. Just saying.
@hcs - "And if you're not trying to help, please just don't say anything."
I was just posting for fun, after all I needed to make things interesting to make sure my boredom doesn't reach its full course.
Criticism can also shape a person.

And honestly, you can't really expect others to be unselfish; that's why I mention about having a tougher skin to deflect that negativity. That's life; life's rough, even if it doesn't have to be, but we're humans & we can shape things for ourselves.

I'm only telling you an interesting fact about this background music bro.
Anyway, I used to care, but I don't. I do it for a living now and they love the money haha. :D
I'm going to buy myself the rhapsodio solars with the AM3 module, or I'll get this combo.
I used to have a real nasty depression, but VGM acted as an escapism for me. I still have my issues, but when I play the tracks, my imagination goes wild and everything stops feeling so dead and empty. Hell, I like the music MORE than actually playing the videogames. I think I just hate videogames.
I appreciate this board a little more than I do 8chan's /v/, you guys are more relateable and 'homely' in that aspect. I think this is actually the only site where I feel at...home.
I don't feel superior for liking VGM or anything, but I do feel like I see life differently than most people. I'm glad I can share these experiences with you guys through the power of music. You keep me going.
I love you guys.

I can relate, VGM has always been an escapism for me too (I'm actually remastering the "Omen" theme from Final Fantasy VI RN).

I used to think about this a lot when I was still in high school, I just stopped giving a fuck after a certain point. I love VGM too much to quit just because it's not relatable to most people.
>"To me, almost all of my acquaintances not only don't share my passion for Video Game Music, but also most of them ridicule me for being into this."
Stop hanging around faggots dude, if these people don't respect you they aren't friends. It's no surprise you're upset.
I know it's hard to find people to relate to but right now you're better off not hanging around these people at all.
>"Woodfall Temple from Majoras Mask while studying on my headphones."
Good shit, I don't know if you listened to Time's End II or not, but the rendition of Woodfall Temple is pretty good.
@dj4uk6cjm
The only reason people don't like sequenced audio here is because it's a pain to rip.
I would /LOVE/ to hear it when you've completed it!
Also, gonna shill my friends soundtrack here.
Bedfellows - FRENZY!!
Listen to it, it's good. Reminds me of Scott Pilgrim and River City Ransom.
