Jasper Byrne is a musician and game developer. I'm going to be focusing on his music today. 
Jasper used to make music like this:
(^This one was good enough for PewDiePie 
to use as an outro^)
That last one is important. We'll get back to it. 
Suddenly, a not very well telegraphed Lone Survivor 
remaster comes out called "Super Lone Survivor" 
*(It's essentially just an engine change with some minor new content. 
I'm not sure what was wrong with the old one other than it using a big .swf internally 
)
The important part is that Jasper creates a new soundtrack for it. 
My pants tighten 
and I wonder how the remasters of all my favourite songs are going to be fricked up. 
Spoiler: He (quite wisely) didn't actually touch any of the originals 
and just made hours of extremely generic "80's movie" synth music.

What the frick happened? Why is it all in a completely different style? Was he too afraid of ripping off Akira Yamaota? 
I listened to his new album, Mirrors, and it was also just kinda meh

I was actually thinking of pirating this one. Such a shame. I also liked Decade Dance in Hotline Miami 2, too. I do recall him being kind of a soyboy from Lone Survivors "talk to plush toys and play vidya to improve mental health" bit, though.
What a shame.

Lone Survivor as an actual game was pretty ehhh (game design fine but story all over the place) but it had some of the best sound design on earth.
Also, that plushis actually a demon. Well, not really. It's just his burden or something like Soylent Huel 2

Yeah the sounds were great but the game was really mid.
I found out that if you want to get a decent ending you have to play it one of the most aids ways ever too. What a strange game.
