I don't use genAI and neither should you. Another internet music guy. Very spectrum, pan, socialist. He/him/they. Composer for OCReMix, Cloak & Dasher, FTL Remix Project. https://744music.bandcamp.com https://www.youtube.com/@sevenfortyfour
if you told me 17 years ago i'd be running a website that would make someone so mad they'd spend potentially hundreds of dollars to knock it offline because i showed someone else a pixelated logo with ms paint hands on either side of it, i would've laughed at you
QUESTION for y’all! Answer can be serious or unserious… *** What do you need to be doing that you haven’t been doing? *** P.S. Go listen to video game music! :-)

Somebody asked me on Reddit why people who use AI to generate Recomp projects are currently being rejected from the communities and what they can do to fix this. I might tweak parts of this to be a more general blog post at some point, but this should be of help to anyone in a similar situation.
No game devs wanna pull in a talented composer? No fans wanna give this track a name? This untitled track would KILL in a spacey game... hit him up! :-) @sevenfortyfour.bsky.social 🎵 "Untitled" youtu.be/0gPgrbdhu6A

Something I really hate about @ocremix beyond the really blatant overt woke politicization of everything is how they started out being wrong about what a "remix" is in the early days of the Internet and instead of correcting it, continued on being wrong for a quarter century.
OverClocked ReMix (We ♥ video game music!) 🎮🎵 - @ocremix
We weren't wrong about what a remix is, djp just thought ReMix (as a mixed case brand name) was a catchier word to use vs. "arrangement".
Also, nothing wrong with being woke and being accepting of fellow human beings of all types. You should try it (even on this app)! :-D
Benjamin McLean - @McLeanBen
Try accepting the independent thinker type: or any type other than the one completely homogenous type you arbitrarily crowned as the only type of "decent person" in the 2010s.

We're a music community with all kinds of music from all kinds of people. You sound terminally online and aggrieved. :-D

"have some class/respect for the dead" no, that's just preventing honest discussion. a garbage person should be remembered as garbage.
Remember Bomberman 64 and Bomberman Hero? And how 1997 was only ten years ago? Yeah. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ty8F...

Wish there was something to celebrate today. First birthday (yay 39 I'm old) with Mom gone, in a country occupied by a mafia hell-bent on destroying it for profit. Going to work on a Bomberman 64 remix I started. Maybe try to find the egg in ch4. Pepper likes the heat, so at least she's happy.
I keep forgetting I have a bsky. Unfortunately I have nothing of note to shJUST KIDDING HERE'S PEPPER BEING ADORABLE
So MPlanets' tileset can't do a perfect egg shape, and a room can't be more than 20 screens wide, but this Egg Corridor recreation was achievable in a little over an hour from scratch. Already plays just fine, and is tagged for inclusion in Melptroid!
To go along with the sequel announcement, for a limited time, the first game is free to grab on Steam! 🎮 ✨That's FREE as in F-R-E-E, no strings attached!✨ Claim the game while the offer is available, and keep it forever! Find the Steam page here: store.steampowered.com/app/858710/G...

For more than a week, Amazon has managed to keep a death at its Troutdale, Oregon, facility out of public view. Workers I spoke to are pissed.

A worker died at Amazon’s Troutdale warehouse last week. Employees were told to look away.
