Today I was a game soundtrack (multiverse.soulism.net)

My fiance was playing After Inc: Revival and I was kinda bored, so I started playing My drums along to the game music. Then I started changing up the beat to reflect what was going on in the game. Then I started associating game events with audio cues, and used the audio cues to guide My partner in the game and help it play better. My partner didn't notice a celebration bubble, so I used music to tell it the bubble was there.

A well designed game soundtrack helps the player understand what's going on and guides them to make good choices. Today I was a game soundtrack.

Butting in here, but I know that particular technique as a swell. ~~Maybe swells are agogic?~~ I don't know much about that part.

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of “discuss” rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This isn't an advice forum

Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with “So” - starting a post with pointless phrases, like “I hope this is allowed” or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.
