Destroying ourselves?

You'd be quite surprised at the growth the scene has made, at least technically, since it's early days. Socially, it's a double edged sword.

It's only natural for us, a hard working and passionate community, to be displeased with knockoffs that sells themselves on novelty and cheap tricks. We work hard for what we create, we're fucking good at it, and it's worth being prideful.

What i do in the bedroom when no ones around is between me and god.

Edit:  Its not that your a noob and these guys can be a little e-braisive(lol) at times but the only way to get your respek is to not care.  Also were not destroying ourselves, the chip community has been at the apex of witch burning tactics.  If anything it seemed like people were still down to burn but maybe not like those foolio rappers that escalated like crazy.

Somewhat related to shiptune, I went to visit a friend's family and his dad CDs of hot bulb engine recordings. Yes, there is such a thing as a hot bulb engine sound appreciation community (they even had club meetings), and if you listen to it you can sort of see why.

this thing sucks but it's not like it will become some mainstream tool. youtube already has basically every song in "8-Bit" so there will just be more of that shit. let them be, and let misguided nostalgia whores eat it up and think it's the coolest thing ever while we sit in our dark corners and brood. it's what we were meant to do.

I don't really care because people who look for the easy way out are never as good.  I heard the samples.  I would be embarrassed to call that something I made.  This is about as useful as an autotune app on my smartphone.  It's novelty, at best.  Let them have their weak covers.

The actual project is pretty funny and clever and clearly not meant as a serious way to automatically make no-effort chiptunes and the results sound kind of interesting/weird if not 'good' so dunno why you guys are hating on it just because some blog gave it a slightly clueless writeup? :-S
