Not me *just* realizing this track was originally from a game *called* afterburner, I thought it was original for this game. But ya I definitely hear the similarities. More of a quote though, it starts doing its own thing shortly after the intro.

Ooo, or make it sound like got garbage at the beginning, and give the player the ability to adjust it till it doesn't! 👍

Ya I remember you mentioning that in an earlier post, but I'm saying to somehow turn that function into a game. Anyway, fun visual regardless. :)

Fun! I still think it would be super cool as a sort of music game/tool where each dot represents a note. :)

That's so funny, cuz I was just realizing the sp is basically the perfect form factor: controls like dmg/cgb, but folds up for portability, and protects the display when folded. I just wish the hinge allowed it to open up completely to unfold flat like dmg/cgb, but that's probably not a big deal.

Old VS New Steam capsules. If you don't approve the new one I'll say French swear words, like "Ohlala", "Saperlipopette" or "Bordel de merde"

Haha ya that was my personal reference for this one, and this was the dev's reference: youtu.be/aW5AhRIDY2A (which also totally sounds like star fox, especially the rhythm guitar)

Listening to this and just got to the part talking about orch hits, and not only do I agree they deserve all the glory they get, but I've got receipts to back it up! One of my favorite tunes I've made uses them *heavily*, and a very specific sample too: bsky.app/profile/moda...

P much everywhere I gig these days they just have a rack unit with however many ins/outs but 0 controls and then an iPad, and it's so weird to me to just see the sound guy seemingly playing angry birds in the audience but then hearing the vox come up more. 😂 I'm definitely team physical controls

Well considering that harmonized lead part with rhythm guit as well, it'd have to be, or *maybe* a hidden backup guitarist. Tbh I'm surprised he *can* play to click if so, no offense, but a lot of old-school players struggle with that.

BY THE WAY I genuinely have no idea how to explain clearly that my game is: 1. A Smash Run (from Smash Bros 3DS) spiritual successor 2. Makes you build your own moveset (just like Emerl from Sonic Battle) 3. Has many modes & bonus Any suggestions?

That's wild cuz when you were talking about playing second story I mentioned very similarly fucking up in that game, and having to literally start over cuz I didn't have any staggered saves (always have one before entering a dungeon!). Good luck!

As a live drummer who prefers to play without click, I get the appeal of *a bit* of push and pull, it's just too much imo.

I feel like he's a musical drummer, I just get really annoyed by his massive tempo fluctuations from beat to fill, and the one time I saw them live it was obvious his bandmates did too, they were even more extreme than the studio versions, and I saw hammett giving him the stink eye after each. 😂

One of those have to laugh or else you'll cry moments, this is the path my dog's supplement has traveled. The funny thing is the app created the X'd out line because it couldn't understand how it possibly went from PDX to Texas after starting out in Texas, but it did. The teal dot is me. 😂😭😡😂 #USPS

Million dollar idea: drawing tablet that has built-in lanyard connecting tablet to pen, out of the box, maybe even no way to detach without breaking something, so there's *absolutely no way* to lose the pen. I suppose if the pen broke then being able to detach to replace would be important, but 🤷‍♂️

And if it wasn't obvious, this *is* a prototype, using proto board and a bread board for the buttons, the final would have a proper PCB and would thus be much smaller, also not 100% on this display, it's much bigger than needed, so to keep the final size down I may go smaller there too.

Alright well, sidequest to the sidequest, I wanted to protect the prototype when travelling with it, so threw together a case design. Used leftover gold filament and hexagonal air vents, and thus, the honeycomb was born. 😂 #uctracker #ultimachiptracker #chipsky #chiptune

Oh ok, ya that makes sense. When I think Acapella I think acoustic, but obv that + processing could sound like practically anything. In college there was an assignment to use an Acapella and produce on top of it, but I decided to try to just use the vocal itself only and process to make drums etc

If you're talking about electric guitar and amps/pedals you're more right than you even know, you can get a 1:1 square wave out of electric with the right distortion. I guess at that point it would specifically be additive rather than the typical subtractive but still.

Mostly! Haha A little bigger than I pictured, but necessarily so, and the printer glitched, but luckily not catastrophically, the part will function for its prototyping purpose. 🙌

Okay everyone, I've been asked this many times, so I'd like to know. A Patreon showing my animation/game design process, plus exclusive lore about the Puppets and the Decline's Drops universe... would you be interested? Tell me in the comments !

I honestly don't know if my library had all that, and if so feel completely robbed of having that opportunity as a poor kid that thus missed out on a lot of things. I played a journeyman demo I somehow acquired and was blown away.

Not me seeing this while in bed after having started a 3d print of a model I designed. Very literal in this case. 😂

I did consider it, but it's an investment, and I think it might be slightly under capability (my core is not quite hitting timing on the de10-nano but still working). Tbh I have to get better at checking "the numbers" to compare, but also need to work on optimization of my core(s).

But to answer the question, I personally think it's very good for us as composers to stretch as many creative muscles as we can, be it with different palettes, or different styles, to explore and experiment, and see what comes of it. At the end, they all become available tools to use when needed.

ModalModule 🎵➡️🕹️Comms *open* @modalmodule.bsky.social · 22/09/2026
I see. And yes, it's a very good question. I find that I am in quite a bubble when it comes to music appreciation. Most of the people I know that appreciate music have tastes that include chiptune, but I do think "the masses" still look at it in a very unserious way (to put it lightly).

ModalModule 🎵➡️🕹️Comms *open* @modalmodule.bsky.social · 22/09/2026
I sure hope not! But I suppose it depends if you mean to become as popular as some pop star or something, though I've even heard some of them at least incorporate the "aesthetic" into their stuff here and there.

I'm definitely hearing some RPG/adventure style music, but with a unique palette (ie instrumentation) to match the unique character designs. Fire makes me think of wooshy noise being incorporated into the sound design, maybe some crackly percussion. Would def take some experimentation to nail down.

Funny enough I think we might've had sonic 2 first, I feel like it came with our Genesis (we were late adopters), but I've been into games as long as I can remember, going back to Mario 1 on NES, though apparently I did also chew on the controller wires... 😅
