Board 8 > I've crossed a line and purchased a video game OST on Vinyl...

(+) Yeah! (+)

....Even though I don't own a record player.

Is this a level of hipsterism I will be able to recover from?

no

I just bought a stand to put all my Video Game Vinyl on just last month...
Welcome to the end.

It's beautiful

I crossed that line a few years ago

It seems like record players don't cost THAT much, now that I'm looking at it. For some reason I thought I'd be looking at hundreds of dollars. Some of these are the same price as the record!

Do note that different record players are obviously analogue and it won't hurt to spend a little more. As if you go too cheap, it will probably sound cheap.

I want this to sound a bit grungy, but like....grungy on purpose? I don't know what that would call for.

I don't want this to just sound like and MP3.

those are sick

This is reminding me that I still need to decide whether I want to spend multiple hundreds of dollars on Trails in the Sky OST records, so... Thanks for that, I think?

An OST would have to actual have an aesthetic that lines up with the medium for me to want to by a record. I bought this because, besides my love for the game, it has a soundtrack like this.

I could not imagine putting on a vinyl to listen to Crush 40s "Open Your Heart", lol.

I own a bunch of them. Slippery slope, but I've been into records for about 10 years now. I'm in too deep.

Banjo-Kazooie and Tooie, Super Metroid, Katamari Damacy, Persona 5, Silent Hill 2, System Shock, Skies of Arcadia, Earthbound, Breath of Fire III... and I'll stop there because now I feel like a doofus.

I own quite a lot of them although I do have a record player. Most of them have basically been played once and that's it though

I play them often enough, although admittedly the boxsets are more of a collectable than an actual listening experience. System Shock works fantastically as an album, the entire Persona 5 soundtrack... not so much. I like the ones that are available as Music Mixes with selected tracks, but then they often leave out key tunes (Earthbound not having the full Kraken battle theme is unforgivable), so I'm split. I own the Kazooie soundtrack as a complete boxset and as a music mix; the one on rotation is basically only the latter.
