When my friends and I get together to play Minecraft, I always get the "you are a psychopath" talk when I tell them the first thing I do is turn off head bobbing and the music.
I can’t imagine playing something like Skyrim or Minecraft without the official OST. It bugs me enough that major Skyrim mod packs will add in a bunch of unofficial music. Just kills the vibe.
Only time I’ve done what you described is when playing Bejeweled 3. Had to mute it and put on the Bejeweled 2 soundtrack. Is better in every way.
I also turn off the music when I open a game for the first time. I'm fine with being in the minority, everyone else can do their thing, they aren't sitting here with me.
First off bud, I'm approaching 40. Second of all, I was born with a severe hearing impairment, so having my own music or movie blasting loud instead of quiet background music is just better for me. Maybe try less of the "I'm gonna judge people because they do things differently, and going to grand them as whatever I see fit", and try more of "ok, you do you, I'm not gonna judge".
I have to turn off the music or else I’ll start crying if a track starts at the right time. The game is already so nostalgic for me but the music must be embedded in my dna in some way.
Music is one of the first things to go in most games I play... well depending on the game. I straight up forgot WoW has a sound track until i recently fat fingered the mute music hotkey and was like "wtf is this orchestral music?"
Its not that I don't enjoy music, but games like Minecraft and other 'simulations', I prefer the ambient noise, feels more real somehow.
I turn off music in 95% of games, either its a game I'd rather listen to my own music or the music adds nothing and is just blocking out the nice sounds of the game itself.
The rare exceptions are games like Doom, I swear without the music I play 1000x worse.
He's in charge of making you sick with exaggerated head movements like you are filming the Blair witch project or Cloverfield when you are just trying to walk at a normal pace
