This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Basically its 'thanks Koji Kondo'.

I dunno... According to this, Gerudo Valley should have a sitar and zurna flute, but instead the flamenco jam comes in hot with the Spanish guitar and trumpet.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Different kind of dessert.

Zitar and zurna flute for deserts with camels and sand dunes. Spanish guitar, trumpet, and I think drum rim? for deserts with cliffs and tumbleweeds.

I always got more of a middle-eastern vibe from Gerudo Valley. Their clothing has kind of a belly-dancer thing going.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

the first belly dancer i met was Roma

There's a ukulele in the OoT OST? O.o

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

OoT doesn't have beach music. Mario games (by the same composer), however...

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I was thinking Metroid Prime as I read those, at least for lava and ice levels. I think that was a different composer but on the same (or better) level.

This is not just real, its a truth.

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Ok uh, barely related, but:

Is there an actual name for the genre of music of Half Life 2, Ep1/2, Alyx?

Its like... progressive rock but sometimes also hardrock guitar riffs, but also with ... basically 'experimental' industrial/techno usually mixed in quite well, and then also very often with essentially breakbeat drumming, and a lot of it also uses some pretty uncommon time signatures and switchups.

And then sometimes there is either classical instrumentation, or, essentially some kind of filtered or synth version of it.

... I literally fail to describe it succinctly, I don't know how, I'm not aware of anything else that really sounds consistently like it.

[–] AlexLost@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (11 children)

So, like Nine Inch Nails then. That's called just industrial.

>greentext in plain colour

It doesn't feel as satisfying. But yes, it's an option.

[–] LaLuzDelSol@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I feel like it should be possible

[–] lvxferre@mander.xyz 6 points 1 month ago

It should, but I don't expect either Lemmy or PieFed to implement it. Because, like, the original role of greentext was quoting, and we already have quote blocks.

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

[–] Apeman42@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Bongos, error beeps, and the wails of the damned.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

And that instrument that makes plastic clicky noises, expertly played.
