    Yeah what he praises is exactly what bugs me. The fact that I've heard all these chord progressions before, and that they essentially have one formula for how to build on top of these chord progressions. It makes it feel like techno music remixes from the early 00s, particularly stock...

    It would be really, really easy to put FFRK sprites into RPG Maker.

    Yup. And if you're not throwing in the occasional caveman riff or other simple part, you're probably worrying too much about showing off and not enough about writing a good song. Gotta ask yourself if you're playing a difficult part because it serves the song, or if you're playing it just...

    Yup. I love technical music of all sorts myself. Djent just isn't my thing. Not that I'm averse to the sound, I just prefer it sliiightly slower and more brooding

    Idk, I have a buddy who is mostly into rap who was all excited to show Polyphia to me one day. They've got a weird sort of broad appeal, that yeah starts grassroots but I think it could grow. Not that I even enjoy them lol. They sound like the background music to corporate videos from the...

    Final Fantasy: Record Keeper - Mobile Gaming Cash Grab

    Putting FFRK sprites into the old games should be pretty trivial. Ability animations would be a lot harder. Editing the ability data (other than animations) to make custom characters / classes etc would be pretty easy, especially if you picked the right base game. I've been doing stuff like...

    The FFRK engine is my favorite Final Fantasy battle system ever, seems like any effort on my part to remake it could only be worse heh.

    "let me see the children home, I'll return on dragon back" Does she mean fucking take the kids home by envoy and then return on dragon back TONIGHT? Fast travel in GoT universe was even faster in the past I guess, fuck

    Little jam I recorded the other day.... Old guitar riff, but the guitar and harmonica solos are totally improvised. Harmonica solo probably drags a bit but I'm still getting the hang of the instrument.

    Final Fantasy: Record Keeper - Mobile Gaming Cash Grab

    This was a rare game in that you could take the time to study strategies from the community to make up for lack of gear. But also the highest difficulty fights for the last few years have required you to bring MULTIPLE ATK/MAG boosts to do decent damage, so yeah, if you didn't have enough...

    L There doesn't need to be a real server that people log into since it's a one player game. It could be more like EQEmu than Project1999, so to speak. Just need to trick the client into thinking there's a server, that could be done on the local machine even sans internet connection, as long...

    @Secrets (no idea if you ever played but I know you could do it) or someone else with the knowhow should make an emulator for this. It would probably end up being even better that the actual game. For MMOs, the hard part of making an emulator is datamining, but this game has already been...

    Welp, took a break for a few months, but started back up last week. Took a variation of my same Esper Control deck from Bronze to Platinum very quick, as well as going from Bronze to Platinum in Draft playing Dominaria United pretty quickly. Assuming the server and I both counted correctly, I...

    The Astronomy Thread

    This is going to sound bonkers, but I've come up with a new explanation for E=mc², connecting the idea of "superfluid vacuum theory" / "quantum foam" with classical physics. Suppose energy is actually a superfluid made up of particles smaller than the Planck length. It fills the cosmos. Like...

    This is a forum full of people that bitched at me when I pointed out that the writing in the original trilogy was sloppy, pointing to the fact that Lucas obviously had no clue during IV that Luke was Vader's son, and the fact that Lucas obviously had no clue during V that Leia was Luke's sister...

    Also I'm pretty sure Erin Moriarty just had a nose job. It's the plastic surgery that can make the most drastic changes in a person's face through a single operation. Maybe also that cheek fat removal surgery but the bulk of the difference is the nose.

    Idk Herogasm was disappointing for me after hearing it hyped up since Season 1. The other supe orgy was crazier I thought, even if shorter in screen time.

    My 14 year old cat Pumpkin listening to her favorite song, "Beauty in Falling Leaves" by the doom metal band Yob. She never makes that squinty-eyed-stare-off-into-the-distance-while-relaxing face (she's just staring at a blank spot on the wall) any other time besides when she's listening to...

    Yeah it seemed super out of place but I think it would have fit in better in Season 1. Just their attempt to inject some humor since the season was mostly lacking in jokes. But that sort of absurdist humor only really works when you keep the ball rolling so to speak. Just randomly our of the...

    When I worked as order taker at Taco Bell, the people that ordered Mexican Pizzas were mostly the people that were intimidated by the Taco Bell menu (lots of stuff with weird names and a lot of it is "spicy" to the average white American) and figured the thing with "pizza" in the name couldn't...
