At Toy Company fest 2 in Montreal, I was with jefftheworld and I was leaving the greenroom to see the show and a drunk guy entered out of nowhere at the same time and piss in the trashcan of the greenroom...after that everybody was thinking I was the one who did that...
I passed for an idiot but it was awesome !
I don't know why the rumour spread that it was you, the guy looked nothing like you. Here was super, super high or something, though. I don't think he even knew where he was.
He went over to the mirror afterwards to try to wash his hands and was confused that there was no sink.

Does Jose still own 8bitcollective.org? I don't know how possible it would be to restart a community while 8bc.org is still technically held hostage by it's original owners.

Thanks!
I definitely shouldn't buy anything else this month, but the draw of making music on a calculator is just too strong...
Check your local craigslist listings, you should be able to find older models for next to nothing. Don't pay a ton for a brand new model.

Tell your friends to make a copyright claim through youtube. It'll either get the video taken down or get them profit sharing on the ads.

In terms of genre-bending or whatever, I tend to dislike all these artists who seemingly get tired of "pure chipmusic" and then have their mandatory go at making chip-EDM or chip-rock or folk music or whatever. Most of the time it doesn't grab me at all and feels extremely lame. It takes someone special to pull off a transition like that.

Personally I draw the line between chip and non-chip where people start tacking-on chip elements instead of using it as the main vector for the music. Rock outfits that force a square wave onto their songs almost invariably sound terrible. Same goes with EDM that's 90% NI plugins and sidechains and whatnot, and then add a little chip arpeggio somewhere. That shit is just tacky. It's as if the artist was saying "My shit ain't good enough to compete with other music in that genre, so I'm gonna settle for impressing the gameboy kids instead."
I've seen this a lot, a musician starting in the chip world and then moving awkwardly on to a different scene. I think the reason this fails so often is that many of these people are doing so out of a desire to be more popular rather than a true love for what they're doing. Toronto had a few people like this in the mid to late 2000s.
When they started making chipmusic I made sure to be very supportive but I could tell they weren't really interested in chipmusic as much as they were interested in the big shows we were playing and the potential fame on 8bc. Since they lacked passion, they never really honed their skills and so they never really got the following they had hoped for. They each transitioned to doing simple remixes and eventually to pure DJ gigs, in the hopes they'd find the easy fame they were looking for.
There are plenty of musicians who start in the tracker scene who legitimately find inspiration in another genre or scene and those are generally the ones who end up pulling off some really awesome music. I wouldn't say it's a bad thing to change your style, permanently or just for the short term, as long as you're chasing that new sound for the right reasons.

What cable are you plugging into the jack? The issue sounds a lot like plugging a mono 1/4" into a stereo jack.
The modification is affecting the built-in jack as well, which means it's almost certainly an issue of bridged points.

Re: Prosound question-- speaker and audio hum (29 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
Ensure that you've soldered to the correct points and that there is no bridging between any of the points. If an ohmmeter shows no resistance between one of the channels and ground, then you've accidentally bridged them together. I've seen this before and I'll bet this is the issue.
