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...
I already forgot what all the different unlabelled memory addresses in my disassembly were for... maybe I should have labelled them...
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...
"Programming computers can be crazy-making. Other professions give you the luxury of seeing tangible proof of your efforts. A watchmaker can watch the cogs and wheels; a seamstress can watch the seams come together with each stitch. But programmers design, build, and repair the stuff of imagination, ghostly mechanisms that escape the senses. Our work takes place not in RAM,
not in an editor, but within our own minds."
... I guess it actually was a cool seed, @tiden. :P
Still streaming Zelda 3 Randomizer! I'll be doing a key-sanity seed next~
Streaming some Zelda 3 Randomizer runs soon:
Today, for myself and my roommates, I cooked:
- 1 turkey breast roast
- 1 ham roast
- 2 boxes stuffing
- 4 packs gravy
- 3lb mashed potatoes
- 2 cans peas/carrots
- 1 from-almost-scratch pepperoni pizza (because somebody didn't like anything else we had...)
... plus we bought potato salad, macaroni salad, a pumpkin pie, and a strawberry cheesecake.
I am so done cooking for a while... @.@
@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 :<
Poly trans cuddlefloof programmer and gamedev(?). I love poking around in and reverse engineering old games. I'm also super shy and have horrible anxiety, so ... please be nice...
