deleting the glass beach twitter was such an objectively bad business decision and objectively good mental health decision

When Terry Pratchett died it struck me that our door to the world inside his mind was forever closed. Other people could write Discworld books of course, but they would be their own interpretation - not bad but inherently different. I realised each human mind is a unique, limited resource

I used to think there would surely come a point when I'd run out of melodies for my music. but here I am and there are still more beautiful permutations of notes coming into existence, and it kind of feels like discovering new species and realising there's always gonna be more to find.

I made a "Battle with Magus" symphonic metal cover!.

If there is a Chrono Trigger remake I NEED to do the OST, Yasunori Mitsuda is one of my biggest influences.

Video is an edited version of Nama's magus battle (linked in the comments)

I will say this any chance I get: Itoi was part of far left student protests in the β€˜60s - β€˜70s where he physically clashed with police, was arrested 5 times, and ultimately dropped out of law school from his disillusionment

so he indeed knows how they work

Blanksword's new playable location, Just Beachy, is coming along! We've had this one in the works for a very long time, and I'm very excited that we're starting to see some polished in-game environments for it :]

it’s an obviously silly argument as any musician knows that budget is never the prerequisite. time and passion are, and ai tools are marketed to people with no time and inhibited passion

NATIONAL SHUTDOWNβ€”FRI. JANUARY 30

The USA government is killing its people in the streets.
Tomorrow (Jan 30th) is a national shutdown in retaliation.
Publicly protest if you can.
At the very least, don't contribute to the economy in any way.
Stay safe.

tweet i didnt send because its way too long: I think if you're a musician and you're on the fence about just sitting down and learning music theory for real, you should know that for better or worse it's descriptive not prescriptive. Nothing will ever tell you "how to write a song that sounds like kinda sad but also kinda vengeful" or whatever; at best you will come away with the loose "dictionary" that is understanding intervals and chord qualities, but how you feel about every interval and chord quality and scale etc is still a personal thing and there isn't any kind of scientific creativity-terminating "these are the happy chords these are the sad chords" canon, anyone who is trying to sell you that is grifting you for the holy Google AdSense dollar. More importantly music theory lets you communicate with other musicians which is basically infinitely valuable because everyone else in the entire world is capable of having ideas you never could and you can just ask them how they did a thing that sounds cool and they can answer, and at least in my experience it feels kind of embarrassing when someone asks you some shit about your compositions and you go "I don't know. I just pressed random keys until I got the sound I wanted" which I will say again isn't an invalid way to make music. there is no invalid way to make music. But if you want to go pro or even just express the song ideas you get in your dreams or walking around doing boring shit at work before they dissolve like cotton candy in water you're probably going to want to streamline shit rather than having to rediscover 7sus4 chords from first principles

I used to be very anti-music theory earlier on because I thought it would make me write more cliche stuff but I've found the opposite to be true; it's honestly really hard and requires a lot of luck to walk the line of "avoiding tropes without knowing what they are and where they come from"

Honestly wtf....

It brings me joy seeing the game do really good (not like a big hit or anything but I think it's doing well).

But like, I didn't expect people on newgrounds to like it. The game is the most not-newgrounds game ever posted.
