That is some of the point: indie types are hipsters who do things differently for its own sake sometimes. It's okay if you don't like it.

Rotating also can make sense on old arcade emulation. Don't rotate a CRT.

It doesn't matter how tall the screen is if your audience doesn't remember the melody after the song is over

Sounds the same as it did 10 years ago, which is simultaneously good and bad. I'll lean it towards good because although there is a lot more electronic in indie, there still aren't enough people ripping off this sound.
Also, I've always found it ironic that UPS were using "Such Great Heights" (and not, you know, the actual postal service...)

Re: Help with essay on tech affecting composing speeds? (3 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Adding to this, prior to learning sequencers if I composed I wrote to paper just as quickly as I punch in a tracker now, meaning that the handwritten music is more deliberate, less "jammed."
When I wrote to manuscript I could write faster than I could punch notes into notation software.

Re: software vs hardware - time to move on? (71 replies, posted in General Discussion)
The definition became more complicated because I play mp3s on my wireless phone, which is also a soundchip. Does all music I listen to become chipmusic?
Chipmusic happened before there was a name for it, so I think there is no harm in assuming people will keep making music that way regardless of aesthetic or name.
I think it's safe to say the future looks a lot like a cross between one of goto80's gigs and a Deflemask session.

We're over it like the Hindenburg on fire.
There's a version of this discussion in the Vocaloid camp that leads to "most people would get a singer before learning to do this." With chipmusic it isn't quite as tall of an entry barrier, but some may recognize the sentiment.

It pushed it so far that people who liked SID music basically passed it over because, despite being legit on the hardware, it didn't meet their expectations.
This is what I mean about people having a proverbial "line," a limit that, once crossed, the thing that makes it "chip" is gone. I started to find my version of that line when SuperNSF made Amiga-ish work on NES possible. Hearing MODs on C64 is a similar.
I think some of what is so vague about this topic is that technical innovation and artistic skill blur quite a bit.
