What do you listen to while playing?
« on: June 30, 2010, 02:43:33 pm »

For me, only Black/Death metal, maybe some other styles for variety. It's just so... fitting.

I don't simply listen, I watch entire episodes of MST3K while playing.

Classical music. It fits the relaxed sort of feeling you get with dwarf fortress. Nah, I'm kidding, df is everything but relaxed, I still enjoy classical though, that and some rock, mostly AC/DC, maybe some random country music too.

I like listening to a streaming station for soundtracks (this one, specifically).  It has a huge playlist from movies, TV, video games, etc., and as such covers a huge range of musical styles and tastes.  Somehow the variety fits my DF experience quite well, but then again maybe I just like listening to a streaming station like that.

I listen to soundtrack stuff also, and any instrumentals I can dig up from the iTunes library. I find lyric-heavy, fast-paced music distracting when I'm trying to focus on designing, or fixing some problem my dwarves have created.

I point VLC at my music folder, set it to ignore errors, and put it on shuffle.  It's like a strange mood: You never know what you're gonna get.

I actually do get a relaxed feeling when playing, seeing them work. Even when under siege seeing the slaughter calms me down.

Usually whatever comes up on the playlist. Rock, classical, whatever.

I've been looping Danse Macabre and some of the Silent Hill OSTs recently.
