When my apps include these 8 bit sounds I’m utterly mystified as to who would use them

Brendan:

So, these explorers are travelling up the Amazon through the Brazilian rain forest. The first night, they’re sitting around the campfire and hear drums. They’re alarmed, but the guide says, “Don’t worry. Drums fine. When drums stop, then trouble.” So, the next night, same thing. “Drums? Don’t worry. When drums stop, trouble.” Then the third night (of course), the drums stop. They look to the guide in fear, and he says, “Uh-oh. Bass solo.”
