[Aliens, Helldivers, Halo]

Transcript by OP

[fscom]

I love to listen to stereotypical Vietnam-era rock music, and pretend I am a Space Marine, dropping from a Space Chopper onto Space Vietnam, and firing my Space Gun against the Space Trees.

I'm not dense enough IRL to be racist, glorify military, want to join, or ever support wars of invasion. I'm well aware real-life Vietnam was an utter hell for absolutely anyone that amounted for a painful chapter of history, and I am adamant in preferring to only enjoy fictional wars.

I just like pretending I am part of those fictional wars, and I haven't gotten to play TTRPGs that scratch that itch. Reason I'm addicted to Helldivers right now.

Space! :D
Nothing wrong with rocking out to a little fantasy war role-play.

Totally get you OP, it's super fun in fiction, and that's the appeal of Halo for me, while Helldivers is on my Wishlist for months. There's a power fantasy about being so sure of your cause, and a lot of it play on community and camaraderie. I don't think military fiction should be singled out when it comes to playing around, especially when it's in a fantastical setting.

Not sure what types of TTRPGs you like, and I did only give these a quick look when I got them in some Itch bundles, but could I recommend...?:

Zyborg Commando Resurrection Overdrive by Brabblemark Press, and MOURN: A Retro FPS Styled TTRPG by EfanGamez.

And also, could I ask for some song/playlist recommendations?

As for my tracks, those are a bit commonly associated with the Vietnam War, but also got some others for Space Opera settings:

Whiteboy James and the Blues Express - A Zerg, a Shotgun, and You
Black Sabbath - Paranoid
Creedence Clearwater Revival - Fortunate Son
Cannon Fodder - Main Theme
James Horner - Combat Drop (OST, a version was made for Aliens: Colonial Marines)
Big Tuna - Jem's Song
Light of Aidan - Lament (either the first version or the one for ODST)
Rolling Stones - Paint it Black
AC/DC - Shoot To Thrill
Blur - Song 2
Overseer - Supermoves (Animatrix Remix)
Iron Maiden - The Trooper
Basil Poledouris - Klendathu Drop
Helldivers 1 - Extraction Theme

Correction - Vietnam was hell for families living in Vietnam. Families in USA enjoyed piece and safety, no chemical weapons, etc. No hate for OP but to say that Vietnam was hell for USA is a stretch. It was such a hell that Korean war was next lol. Actually this is part of the reason I hate these shooter games. They're based on the wars in the Oil rich countries and I can't disassociate from RL. It's like salt to the wound. You come, you kill and rob and then you make games and make even more money creating a narrative to suit your country.
I like scifi shooters exactly for the reason that they're sci-fi.
