the funny thing about capitalism and marketing is that it rewards learning how to lie just well enough that you fool enough people to turn a profit which makes gen ai's promise of "amplify human creativity, not replace it" feel enticing when it is, actually, "replacing it"

Toby Fox has a unique talent of creating the greatest, most emotional and most harmonically complex track you've ever heard and then making it last 16 seconds

Do y'all ever feel an extremely sweet feeling when you just experienced a masterpiece like tadc that you keep thinking about. It's like, serenity, fulfillment and a little bit of nostalgia. But also jealously towards those who made that work. Like I wish I had achieved what they did. I don't know

Caine showing everyone their human lives reminds me of the ending to the film Cinema Paradiso; it’s a love letter from Caine showing the humans there’s hope, and that they’re more than their dysfunctions… the ultimate tragedy is that Jax, after his ordeals in the Circus, didn’t see it that way.

Jax’s story is a cautionary tale; he doubles down on his poor coping mechanisms and won’t open up, even as he makes himself and others miserable. I feel the best reaction to him is pity - shaking our heads at him, noting where he went wrong and HOW he became that way so we don’t end up like him.

I think @gooseworx.bsky.social deserves to ascend to God after what she made. I've been crying for an hour straight

Millions of copyrighted songs were fed to AI music generators - now there's proof Suno and rivals are being sued for $150k per song. A sum that would bankrupt these companies and set an important precedent.

Looking back I feel blessed because I've been to experience Silksong, to listen to Christopher Larkin. I didn't realize it at first but it was such an experience. It's not even fair to compare it to Hollow Knight because they are both masterpieces with their own unique vibe.

Toby Fox is one of my idols for that

I love you gooseworx. This shit ass community doesn't matter you still made one of the best and deepest shows ive ever watched

stumbled across a funny little shop.... what's that they're selling??

Is that my goat @alexrochonva.bsky.social in spamton sweepstakes?????

The dog of absolute joy and bliss

I'm finally playing Breath of the Wild and it's giving me a headache 😭 This game is crazy, probably I feel like that because it's my first Zelda game

Lowkey already miss Caine :(((

If you switch to bsky it will be vitally important to not use the Discover feed and instead pin this one

#Silksong Merry Christmas!

Had the pleasure of chatting with @musophrenic.bsky.social recently on ABC Classic’s Game Show about the music of Silksong. Thanks for having me :) www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

Hi, I think I'll be using Bluesky more now. It's a much healthier place from whatever propagandistic slop Twitter is. Even though I'll be less "visible" this way so idk ...

youtu.be/9a-h8bddlY0 Chapter 3 is absolutely my favorite from #deltarune especially because of its vibe in the secret game (and also the normal game is really cool with peak characters) You know you are NOT supposed to be there, and the 8bit aspect of the soundtrack makes it so scratchy and eerie

@lena.fyi I don't think you'll ever see this but consider it a fanart... I did what I could in wplace

being a published musician (aka having to align releases with publishers & other things releasing on similar platforms) is often a manic game of ethics dodgeball with these big tech companies so i'll say again, despite my music being there unless i can avoid it: please don't stream music on spotify

Summer is almost here!! I wanted to arrange an acoustic version of Paradise, Paradise from DELTARUNE Chapter 3 since it's been in my head a lot. So I did! #albamusic

I genuinely want to know how @tobyfox.undertale.com made a goddamn masterpiece in 10 years and then call it a "test game" ...like...pressure in making the game?...too high ambitions leading to perfectionism? Consequential art blocks...none of that? I'm surprised by how carefree Toby *looks* with it

Ok toby fox you cooked there. You cooked real hard.

DELTARUNE TOMORROW!!

To my 2 fans who listen to my music through Bandcamp... I'm having trouble with my account and I lost the login email. I am not able to upload any music on Bandcamp at the moment. So if you don't see new tracks, it's because of that. Bear with me...

Will all these no-AI protests actually lead somewhere? I hope so, but the only way to prevent dangerous AI rising (to both art and work worlds) seems to be forcing the government to apply limitations

Anti-ai people have become too obsessive. I also am strictly anti-ai but that doesn't mean I crash out every time I see the word "AI" in a post. You guys are giving us quite the bad reputation

I don't like music (April fools)

This is me every time someone brings up Gen AI discussion

This is why you don't use Nintendo Music

Look I've never heard anyone talk about the Skylanders' soundtrack...WHY? That's CRIMINAL. Could be nostalgia but I play Skylander Giants like...every goddamn year and I fell in love with every piece of soundtrack in the franchise. Sad it died :(( My fav probably: youtu.be/swcVluhMYXc?...

Penny's Big Breakaway OST (by Tee Lopes and others) is quite impressive! It's melodically busy (good imo) which I think makes it feel close to a Pokemon soundtrack. Despite being mostly synthy and joyful, it conveys ideas of different environments. My favorite's def this one youtu.be/PgsJ7b1TWqc?...

You know sometimes I wish I could have kept my art by myself, or just do it without thinking like "ok this *has* to go somewhere otherwise I'm wasting my time". It's irrational because it's not true but that's my thought process.

Thanks I'll follow the trend! 4 games with 10/10 Soundtrack HM: the whole Skylander franchise, especially Skylander Giants (definitely not nostalgia)

regularly scheduled reminder that gen ai shit can fuck off there is no moral use case & seeing it creep up in every possible avenue of tech is the worst kind of plague on trying to be any form of creative worker in the world don't be complicit in mass theft & don't come at me with edge cases

I hate being blocked while making music and it happens EVERY TIME because I'm harsh on myself. I doubt on - The sounds and instruments are not great - I'm afraid I won't make it the right way - Idk if I need to fix something from the current song instead of going on adding intensity Stuff like that

Bro is locked in graduating

Art takes time and patience, but social media makes us feel like we’re always running late. It’s okay to go at your own pace. Take a breath and rest when you need to.

Playing Hollow Knight was a blast. The soundtrack is great, of course, and I wouldnt say it's THAT complex musically but it carries the atmosphere so well! youtu.be/Lp5M2BAXwSo?... this is my favorite track. Simple but so effective. @christopherlarkin.bsky.social props to you (he's not gonna see ts)

How do you choose a uni course and be granted that you'll like it or be enough for it? 😭

I would love it if people got more into video game music and instrumental! Here is my public playlist, updating overtime. I hope you can find some stuff you enjoy here! youtube.com/playlist?lis...

#tadc Although my favorite episode is 4 (I mean they're all gorgeous but we'll 4 is best), I can't deny the ep2 one has just one of the best OSTs I've listened to from a series. So few tracks, but they're definitely the most in-depth and emotional youtube.com/playlist?lis...
