Ladies and gentlemen: Music games haven’t had a single damned thing in common with electronic memory game Simon — OK, except for colored buttons — since the PaRappa series, which actually was memory-based. (You’d be shown a sequence of button-taps, and your job was to repeat it.)

Modern music games, on the other hand, aren’t at all about memory, at least not that kind of rote-recitation memory.

So, to recap: When you compare music games to Simon, you sound like an idiot. Especially if you then archly refer to the genre as “sort-of-music-y games.”

Though I suppose if you’re trying to memorize entire songs and then repeat them back, that could explain why you’re missing the point so comically.

Anyway, I just wanted to share. Thank you for your attention.
