the best part about this website is how it still actually exists

here are some of my favorite best ways to learn lsdj (8.5.1+). note that these techniques are not guaranteed to work for earlier versions of lsdj, and under no circumstances should they be attempted on versions 4.6.3 - 6.0.8. that said, here are some of my favorite best ways to learn lsdj (8.5.1+)

* exploring the software
* using the gameboy
* learning the controls
* taking frequent breaks
* blowing on the cartridge
* and many more

these are just a few examples from my new book “best ways to learn lsdj (8.5.1+)”, the highly anticipated followup to my seminal classic, “lsdj: simulacra and simulation (8.5.0+)”, available now exclusively on amazon kindle or physically through amazon’s print-on-demand printing service.

make sure to be on the lookout for my upcoming work, “how to physically and emotionally isolate yourself from your peers and loved ones (lsdj) (8.5.2+)”

i’ve got the entire source for 8bc due to jose recruiting me (a literal child at the time) to help “test” his bleepbloop carts (as well as making me a mod of 8bc and requiring me to answer support emails) and it’s an absolute dumpster fire of php.

been wanting to do something with it for a while (ie port it to a language used since the extinction of dinosaurs) but matt of kitsch bent still owns the 8bitcollective.com domain (lol) which redirects to his website (lol) which itself is completely broken. for some reason that’s really funny to me.

the trademark on “8bitcollective.com” expired a few years ago (yes, it exists); always thought it would be a fun (and completely fucking stupid) project to get it back online.

hi feryl

about once a year, i randomly visit this website on a whim just to make sure that it still exists, and that day was today. and what are the chances -- bit shifter strikes again! 10+ years out this will be the single most expensive record available on discogs.com, mark my words.

jokes aside, happy to see this. new fun things seem to happen so rarely in the chip scene now, it's a pleasure when a surprise like this comes up. "reformat the planet", and your tunes featured in it, were pivotal pieces of media for my then-young self. i must have watched that movie at least 20 times while i was just getting my feet wet with chipmusic. i think i still have it loaded on my old ipod, somewhere. chipmusic on vinyl is such an unusual rarity in my mind. starscream's "future, toward the end of forever" is still one of my favorite records i own, if only for the fact that it even exists in the first place. will be picking this up, and will be very happy about it. smile

all the best. thanks for everything you've done for the scene, and well wishes in whatever comes next.

hello again chipfriends. while i haven't written proper chipmusic in a long time, a lot of my chip-era influences still carry through in my music today. i released this album a couple months back, and thought some of you might like to hear it.
