PRESS PLAY (music WIP, prologue, chapter 1-4.1, 259k words; !UPDATED September 17th!)

This is starting to sound kind of combative. Come on man just play something actually related to metal if that’s the music you love, Press Play is not what this is and it’s never gonna be. I don’t like metal, I’m not passionate about it and I’m not gonna write it.

The “would probably be a better ending than we are going to get” is a dick move to say especially with the author here. Besides, the majority of Press Play is a flashback with the events already outlined.

If you want your MC to join a Nu Metal/Heavy Metal band post-band break-up, feel free to write a self-indulgent fic about it instead or find another game that scratches that itch for you.

@Abe Thank you.

Also I just feel that I gotta say: I don’t like metal but I do like some songs by Castle Rat. Just to be entirely fair to the genre. Also my SO is a metalhead and they tried to drip feed me some metal at the beginning of our relationship and they showed me some agreeable stuff. But overall it’s simply not for me.

No genre of music is for everyone, and that is fine.

MC and band will be one of the biggest pop and cultural phenomena of the alternate 21st century so their music is gonna be covered a ton, officially and not, and someone somewhere in the alternate universe is almost certainly going to attempt a heavy metal cover of Moonstruck sometime.

They are so dumb and oblivious sometimes. I’m really curious how they will deal with fame.

Finished with the last update and man, i love that my MC can call out and cut ties with their shitty rich parents, in front of their friends too.

i also like to imagine that my MC tries to keep in touch Claudia (the household helper) when they moved to Oregon a̶n̶d̶ ̶w̶h̶i̶l̶e̶ ̶i̶ ̶d̶o̶ ̶t̶h̶i̶n̶k̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶y̶ ̶w̶o̶u̶l̶d̶ ̶s̶h̶r̶u̶g̶ ̶i̶t̶ ̶o̶f̶f̶,̶ ̶i̶t̶ ̶w̶o̶u̶l̶d̶ ̶b̶e̶ ̶a̶ ̶n̶i̶c̶e̶ ̶k̶i̶c̶k̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶t̶e̶e̶t̶h̶ ̶f̶o̶r̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶r̶i̶c̶h̶ ̶p̶a̶r̶e̶n̶t̶s̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶k̶n̶o̶w̶ ̶t̶h̶a̶t̶ ̶m̶y̶ ̶M̶C̶ ̶w̶o̶u̶l̶d̶ ̶r̶a̶t̶h̶e̶r̶ ̶k̶e̶e̶p̶ ̶i̶n̶ ̶t̶o̶u̶c̶h̶ ̶w̶i̶t̶h̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶h̶e̶l̶p̶ ̶t̶h̶a̶n̶ ̶w̶i̶t̶h̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶m̶

What do you need to do exactly for the MC to almost drown here? I did not even see or get this option.

I immediately thought of a certain blonde from Press Play when I saw it

I suppose there are people who would happily invite them in…

You need to take drugs from the sus dude that offer them.

When Maddox says that he needs to get high, go with him and you going to find a sus dude offering it to you. Madd will refuse, but you can take it. This will lead to the drowning scene.

I like most genre’s of music, my Heavy metal enjoyment though stems from the 70’s and 80’s. Old school Metallica for example, Ozzy of course, but then again i also love bands like Foreigner, Air Supply and Duran Duran. My tastes run so eclectic it is not funny.

Thank you, I will try it just to get saved lol

Something I just wrote and wanted to show you guys:

[i][b]Midnight.[/i][/b]

[i]A knock on my door.[/i]

I hadn’t been asleep yet, so I sit up. I also know it’s her, and I’m not surprised when the door creaks open and she slips inside without waiting for permission, quiet like a cat in the dark.

If you’re somehow as brainrotted as me and see a reference in there, we are of one mind and I love you.

If not, thank me later.

I just finished the demo and I gotta say that the new song that Madds helps us out with reminds me of two specific early Slipknot songs

Edit: I know I said it’s not my genre of music, but I’m curious, so please do share
