Ambient music

[donteatpoop]

Great idea. I'm already pulling up youtube for some background ambiance when I play now.

good

but are there music in every game ?

I can't see me using this since I tend to not be able to concentrate with music playing, but I did have some comments.

It's a little slow loading. It would also be nice to keep a preference for each game. The list is also changing. I doubt the choices are changing, but I think they're moving so that you can't just note you like #23 for XYZ game.

I'm getting an error (500) on Perudo.

I like the music itself. Someone has done well picking the choices. Seasons and Dragonheart have some terrifically cool fantasy type music. I chuckled over the choices for Legendary Inventors. (I wasn't sure what to expect but it works.) Except Yahtzee, which is just random "light music" and sounds weird. Since I play turn-based, if anything, I could see this just slowing me down getting to my next turn while I listen to music.

Oh... I just discovered it moves to the next piece when one finishes. There should be a way to loop it. That next song was actually a bit annoying, and I wouldn't like disrupting myself during a game to have to change the music. I wouldn't think putting in an option to loop it would be difficult. This sort of fits with what I said above about keeping a preference.

(Oh, that part sounds like the music from Firefly when River was dancing with the folks when the Doc got kidnapped. I really need to turn this off... )

Once activated, is there an option to turn it off again?

It is a YouTube playlist, with all its controls : you can click on the image/video to pause/resume, go to next/previous track, adjust volume ...

This is completely pointless, as any device I play on already has this ability with superior options/controls. I will use this as often as I use the video/voice chat thing (read: never).

As always, I wish fixing bugs, adding games/options/stats, and making games play exactly like their tabletop counterparts were your top priorities. Not this kind of fluff.

Well... from the beginning on 2017, we published 7 new games, 2 new game expansions, made the ELO accessible for free to everyone and many other small stuff like this one. Concerning bugs you can order fixed bugs by date and see that many of them are fixed every weeks. Finally I really do not know how to answer your comment...

[donteatpoop]

This is really cool. I wonder if you've considered some 'white noise' such as a fire, rain, waves, and the like. soundrown is the simplest, there are others as well.

I play those in collusion with music. Maybe it's stupid, but I like it.

I didn't need a response, just sharing my reaction/opinion. I was also not trying to say that you admins don't ever work on those things I mentioned - just that every second you spend on stuff like this is wasted in my opinion, as you could have been doing something useful instead.

I don't know who is picking the songs and matching them to the games, but so far as I have tried it it has been spot on every time!
Very nice, thank you!
