I make music either on a computer, or by whistling...

I'm afraid of calling myself a musician, especially when there are actual trained musicians who are amazing and can make beautiful music out there on Mastodon and elsewhere...

I don't belong in a group with people like that...

...can I really even call myself a musician if I don't even know how to play an instrument...?

I already forgot what all the different unlabelled memory addresses in my disassembly were for... maybe I should have labelled them...

Finally working on Itadaki Street 2 stuff again after a month or so off...

I'm feeling really called out right now

Also, I'm sorry that I'm probably using music terminology completely wrong while I'm describing things. I never had any formal training because my parents couldn't afford an instrument and I never joined choir because my parents saw I was good at math and pushed me extremely hard to do that instead of music...

Probably isn't very surprising, though, since I played my Game Boy a /lot/, for most of my grade school and middle school years...

Listening to the Tetris Attack (Game Boy) soundtrack with @Xkeeper a few days ago, and realizing... My music compositional style was really, really heavily influenced by that soundtrack, and other GB/C games that I had. Short, repeating tracks, a melody line, an accompaniment/countermelody, a bassline, and sometimes a "drum" that's usually just a white noise channel acting like a hat or snare...

Is it normal to feel guilty in some way, or feel like you don't really belong somehow, if you haven't really experienced the pervasive sexism, catcalling, derision, and other horrible things other people have?

Tonight... everything went worse than expected.

Nearly 5 hours and two full game runs cleared. ^.^ That was fun!

Thank you to everybody who watched!

aaa I just want this music finished so I can share it already ;w;

@typhlosion I don't understand how this is a bad opinion; I think it's very well reasoned and thoughtful :<

And honestly I agree with everything you said, and wish there was software with good piano-roll or staff notation interfaces that could make module files :<
