I am slowly starting to hate the Stable Trotters (self.zelda)

Am doing the newspaper questline after I reunited them all... so happy for them but fuck PLEASE can you guys learn a new song?

Or, even finish the one you're currently playing, it's only 30 seconds or so long and just loops forever. I've had to start muting the game whenever I'm near a stable, I write music for a living and this week had that sodding theme (along with the 'Yah yah!" from the conducter) stuck in my head for days, one of the worst earworms I've ever had. When I finally got some music done, one of the synths now strongly reminds me of 'Yah yah!", noooooo.

Would be great if we could have sliders for the music / sound FX, at this point I'd rather put a Spotify playlist of classical music on!

That's funny because I feel the opposite - I think the additional instruments make the song more pleasant ¯_(ツ)_/¯ I completely understand though how annoying a repetitive song in a game can be.

Have you done the stable / newspaper quests yet? I really enjoyed bringing the band back together and hearing their song grow, instrument by instrument. I remember hearing the finished article and thinking wow this sounds epic now! But by the 30th loop it was grating, by the 300th loop it was unbearable haha

I remember reading ages ago about why it's so rare for someone to be highly talented in both music and drawing... something about the visual / musical parts of the brain being inversely proportional, no idea whether that's true or not but I have aphantasia (no mind's eye), conversely my mind's ear is extremely acute, almost overdeveloped. I have 'photographic memory' for sounds and music, so a simple earworm can quickly turn into torture for me

I've done maybe half of them of the quests so admittedly I haven't been pushed to my limit haha.

Interesting condition you have though - I'm sure it comes with some good and bad!

Definitely some upsides. After I've watched a film or binged a series, my internal monologue uses their voice. Having Morgan Freeman or Nick Offerman as internal monologue is amazing!

However as you probably can guess, it's a double-edged sword when it takes on the voice of less-lovable 'celebrities', or decides to play 'Cheeky Girls - The Cheeky Song' on a loop all day haha.
