- Also, wow. I never realized how young I was compared to a lot of you. You guys have wifes, husbands, etc. You're all basically adults with a job now. I'm just a tot trying to find out how streamed and sequenced music is handled! It's such a mystery, I just wish the devs would give us the 'key' to be able to play the music without trouble, LOL.
I remember when I was even younger, I actually didn't know how the music part was handled. So I assumed it was all sequenced in some fashion or something.
@G-Boy
No. Not you.
You are cool as a cucumber.
Don't worry about who.

- @RebeccaSugar - "I wonder what stream file extension switch games are gonna have."
My guess is ".bnstm". After all the letter after .b extension hints at a development name used by Nintendo before they usually decide on a final one.
For example, for the Wii they decided to name their stream files ".brstm", for the 3DS ".bcstm", and for the WiiU ".bfstm" and so on.

- Don't most video game music composers live in obscurity? I'm reminded of this interview with Takashi Tateishi.
"Mo: Do you remember the first time you met someone who said they loved your work on Mega Man 2?
Tateishi: You're the first, in 2013. No one else has.
Mo: Wow. I'm surprised. I don't even have a follow-up question... how could no one come up and say something.
Tateishi: …
Mo: Now that you know how big Mega Man 2 is outside of Japan, do you look fondly back at the soundtrack?
Tateishi: Yeah, my thoughts have changed since I met you and became more aware of how people felt. But even when I was at Konami, I didn't even bother telling anyone I did Mega Man 2. So the fact you came all the way to Japan to tell me these things makes me very happy I worked on the game all those years ago."
I think the very few who become famous and want to capitalize on it have to eventually find a way to present their work and talent in a way the general public can appreciate, which is usually just to adapt it to mainstream music culture.

- It's only a matter of time before video games (and their music) gets treated as a serious form of entertainment just like movie scores. There are a lot of people who think video games are just a kid's thing and not a true work of art. I appreciate composers like Koji Kondo just as much as I appreciate someone like John Williams.

- Honestly I hope VGM remains niche. Video games getting popular did not do me any fucking favors.

- I kind of agree with you dork, but I don't think VGM getting popular will stagnate as bad video games themselves did. I think that's the only part that will remain good, unless VGM composers start getting replaced with generic craptastic hollywood flavor-of-the-month composers, then I will die inside. I think that's still exaggerating it though.

- Like RebeccaSugar, I feel like the HCS Forum is one of the only places on the internet where I feel at home and can express my opinions without people judging me 'cause of them. People on YouTube have called me a weeb and told me to kill myself, study or play with LEGOs just because I don't like things that they expect me to like (or because I defend people that have the same problem).
For example, people have thought that I have to like Shojo anime and such because I have a Zelda profile picture. And it doesn't help that I'm bad at telling if people are joking or not, but I won't let them stop me from expressing my opinions anyhow.

- Looks like we need a social thread on this forum as well...
- by MusashiAA at 3:30 PM EDT on March 13, 2017
- I wouldn't object to a thread where people just talk about offtopic stuff. We can't always expect to only and exclusively talk about VGM here. Not like having a general offtopic discussion thread is bad or anything.
For some reason, I feel that thread already exists and is just not sticky'd.

- I've thought of How I spend my time as a general offtopic thing. Stuff I'd be tweeting if I was on Twitter or blogging if I kept up with my blog.
