*reblogs and pins*

I’m curious, since you know a lot about games history: do you know if there’s any consensus on what video game had the first “boss fight song,” i.e., the first game to have a different musical piece that plays when the player encounters something we would recognize as a boss? (I’m aware that “what is a boss” is a question in itself, but i guess that’s just part of the whole mix, and hopefully there’s enough you-know-it-when-you-see-it to facilitate the discussion.)

The oldest one I’m personally familiar with is The Legend of Zelda 1986 (which IIRC doesn’t have unique songs for normal bosses but at least has a little entry fanfare for Ganon), but I’m also acutely aware of the fact that I’m more or less completely unfamiliar with anything pre-NES, so I’d be very surprised if there wasn’t something earlier than that, and also just having entry fanfare is, to be honest, kind of weak imo compared to a proper dedicated song. (The oldest one I personally know of that has a song for non-final bosses is Mega Man 1987, but the same blind spot to pre-NES stuff applies.)

Are you able to offer any insight into this matter, please?

That's an interesting question. Most video games published prior to the NES era tended to lack background music of any description, so they wouldn't have had anything that could be described as "boss fight music" simply because they didn't have music. The earliest title I can think of off the top of my head that does have a discernible boss theme is Dragon's Lair (1983), though that's kind of an edge case because the arcade version of Dragon's Lair is more of an interactive movie than a game per se. I'd love to know if anyone reading this post has an earlier example in mind!

Would Sinistar (February 1983) count with its intro speech?

I don't know what the requesting party's exact criteria are, but a. they did clarify that they'd prefer to focus on music which plays during boss fights, rather than merely when introducing the boss in question; and b. I feel like going "well, if a musical jingle before a boss fight counts as boss fight music, then surely voice-acted dialogue preceding a boss fight also counts as boss fight music, because it's audio which precedes a boss fight" is entering "is mayonnaise an instrument" territory.

The earliest one I can remember with actual boss music was NES Rush'n Attack (1985, a few months before the Legend of Zelda), but I can't say for sure whether it's *the* earliest. Also, I'm not sure whether most people would call a group of enemies that all die in one hit "bosses", but the game's instruction manual did, so I'm counting it.

If you count the entire Rivets Stage of Donkey Kong (July 1981) to be a boss fight, then that may be the earliest example, but I want to check a few things first (namely, my MAME library) :D

Oh! Actually, it might be Vanguard (also July 1981), which doesn't have music on most stages, but one of the stages that does have music is when you face Gond. (Back in the day I was more familiar with the Atari 2600 version, which doesn't have any stage music at all, which is why Vanguard didn't immediately spring to mind)

Given that Vanguard is also one of the earliest games to have a boss at all (at least as we know the term), this is probably it.

Much love to everyone in a similar situation as me. We'll get through this <3

One day, before my parents learned to accept my brother, my mom said to me that transitioning would be very dangerous for his health. Mind you, my brother is studying medicine, so already the argument that he didn't know what he was getting into was already very shaky, but at some point, I just told her "but mom, you smoke" and

she

got

very quiet

This is a hilarious story, but it's SO representative of the wild double standards people have for HRT compared with other medicine.

I'm reading this book on etiquette right now and it honestly took me a while to understand like, the math of formal introductions but I finally get the whole, "you address the person with more seniority first, which means you're introducing the person with less seniority to the person with more seniority." Or you introduce the person you're more familiar with to the person you're less familiar with/have a more formal/professional relationship with.

Or as my brain summed it up: "Oprah, this is my friend, Timothee Chalamet."

"Senator Organa, this is my friend, Cassian Andor."

"Master Chief, this is my friend, Minecraft Steve."

Good and Bad Angel News: I had height numbers wrong. And- I had Heights slightly off of what they're supposed to be upon further review. Heres an update, what thoughts? Now includes more variants!

Ophanim/thrones and Cherubs disincluded due to their wildly varying sizes even amongst themselves.

I based it on this:

Yes. Good.

Also theoretically they can adjust their size so they can fit inside of buildings, while still being taller than all but the tallest humans

Also I have a friend I need to show this to.

This size chart is "True Form"'s, like when not using something to shrink themselves... Though Im curious, do you think that any are off at all? Even ifonly slightly. Like, I was unsure about seraphims being that small for their stature, but it both makes sense and doesn't?

Also it is still funny to me that when I showed both the angel and dino size chart someone immediately said "Poor T-Rex" and I couldnt help but imagine an angel and Tyrannosaurus staring at eachother...

Consider this: the more high ranking an angel is, the more human they appear on average. Therefore, counterintuitively, the biggest ones would probably be the lower ranking or middle rank ones. Maybe. Honestly I don't know, but either way I prefer this.

I was under the impression the more wings an angel had, the more powerful they were? And that The inner-heaven angels(generally the most powerful ones) were the least human, with god taking a familiar shape to make us easier to comprehend them, and angels also doing so. I have admittedly not looked into the bible directly, but was basing this on fantasy. STILL- I think its interesting.

I just wish I wasn't dumb when thinking about these things.

Humans were made in god's image, which implies god looks like a human
