With Tis

50% video game soundtracks, 110% heart. we're gonna dance, we're gonna feel feelings, and we're gonna make connections.

ep48: i do believe

it was just recently my birthday, so i'm gifting this playlist of songs i believe in; not just songs i know are good, but songs i know have been good to me.

in going through it, we'll tour all the ideal birthday party moods: "oh i couldn't possibly," "i guess we'll try it," <full-on headbanging>, and "all is well with the cosmos."

thank you for joining me this year; here's to many, many more.

Happy belated birthday!
Tis (host) 6:03:17 PM
thank you kindly :D
Tis (host) 6:03:29 PM
lovely to be able to give sonic gifts on this fine occasion
TAndy 6:14:16 PM
Every playlist is personalized
Tis (host) 6:15:05 PM
This is so very true
Tis (host) 6:16:21 PM
but only some are personifications, maybe?
Tomi 6:19:37 PM
we out here
Guelo 6:19:48 PM
:)
Tis (host) 6:21:34 PM
Hello Tomi and Guelo!!! 🥳🎂💜
TAndy 6:24:29 PM
Let's see if I have enough time to finish skull dungeon oracle of ages before the show ends. Doubtful, this IS Oracle of Ages after all.
Guelo 6:25:55 PM
good luck TAndy
Tis (host) 6:26:00 PM
I always loved that one, and yes, good luck
TAndy 6:30:34 PM
Im dreading the next three dungeons
Tis (host) 6:32:19 PM
I don't remember the gimmicks there, only in Link's Awakening; what makes them rough?
Tomi 6:33:42 PM
oof relatable track
Ossy 6:34:01 PM
I haven't heard this is years!
Ossy 6:34:28 PM
Used to hear this a lot working in McDonald's
Tis (host) 6:34:52 PM
@Tomi she really hit something there without knowing she hit it XD
Ossy 6:35:05 PM
And happy belated nerdy tis, team leo 🔥❤💮
Tis (host) 6:35:12 PM
@Ossy TEAM LEOOOOOOOOOOO
TAndy 6:35:59 PM
Both Oracle games were made by Capcom so there were some differences to the design overall. Seasons dungeons focus on action with some puzzles, ages vice versa. They can both become quite difficult, and the music can be grating.
Tis (host) 6:36:28 PM
I do remember the soundtracks not quite measuring up, except for that gorgeous big tree theme
TAndy 6:39:24 PM
Look up the crown dungeon music, it's awful. It WAS the first big project for Minako Adachi of Pure Sound, though. The GB(C) also just had a really crusty sound by nature. Her music for pkmn black and white (1 and 2) was much better at demonstrating her skill.
Tis (host) 6:39:54 PM
coooool, ty
Tis (host) 6:40:25 PM
agreed the GBC was rough, feels like it was really Alberto Jose Gonzalez who figured it out and that's about it
TAndy 6:43:55 PM
Oh wow he's good. His productions are so clean and bouncy, real deliberate and well executed use of that soundchip.
Tis (host) 6:44:17 PM
100%
Tomi 6:57:32 PM
wow gun x sword been a while since I watched that one
Tis (host) 6:59:18 PM
that was one of my new discoveries this week -- it sounds cool!
Tomi 7:02:17 PM
cool cool enjoy! ....and the show is half over :*(
Tis (host) 7:05:55 PM
my takeaway there is there's 60 or so more minutes of great music, followed by Rosasolis tha gawd and DJ Mirey
Tomi 7:08:45 PM
ok DJ Look on the bright side
Tis (host) 7:10:07 PM
taking that suggestion for next season, tytyty
Ossy 7:11:10 PM
ooo yeah, princess rosalina's notebook luma dream and virtual mirey
Tis (host) 7:11:27 PM
<3 <3 <3
Tomi 7:34:48 PM
That Casiokids track sounded like if dredge had a happy ending
Tis (host) 7:37:18 PM
i support that headcanon
TAndy 7:38:56 PM
Sheesh, I beat it JUST before my n3ds died. Maybe it's time to look into a replacement battery.
