I have different internet personas, although they kind of blend into one in some places. As Alpine, I make chiptune, I try to avoid asking stupid questions, and I can be overly condescending at times. Usually I'm a sarcastic dick, who every so often says something intelligent, but mostly just criticizes things. I do kind of think ever so slightly differently, and there are are some things that I'd say as one persona, and not the other.

My internet personas are pretty much just me, just on the net, I'm a sarcastic, cynical person who likes to criticize others. I do kinda separate my internet personas from me though, when I'm with my friends I'm James, that nerdy stoner kid. But then again, I act differently depending on what friend group I'm with, so maybe I'm just the weird one.

Is the general consensus that this is just a poorly disguised "give me attention" thread or what?

Try and find time in between things to compose, and mess around with LSDJ. I'm currently in full time education (although I'm at work experience for the next week and a half) but I also have other commitments, I've got a girlfriend, and I'm also in a non-chiptune related band. I have friends from several different circles (stoner bros, regular bros, nerd bros etc) who don't hang out together, but do hang out with me. I manage to do all that, and still have plenty of time to sit in my room for hours being hella antisocial, and staring at a screen, playing halo 4, or watching Attack on Titan. As people have said, you should make time to do it. I've done what you've done before, I used to be like that with FL Studio. For ages I wouldn't touch it because there were people out there who were so much better at it than me, or who could get the right sound out of whatever VST I was using. The problem is that you're getting too bogged down with instruments, it could be that you're focusing more on the way you want it to sound, rather than what it sounds like, if you see what I mean. Spending to much time working on an instrument to get it just right can sometimes be a bad thing, I'll often make an instrument, and go "no, that doesn't suit this, it sounds good, I'll just use this for something now, then come back to this later" and I then leave the thing that I actually made the instrument for, for ages and ages. But basically, just get it down first, then mess around with exactly how you want it to sound later.

Tl;dr
There's always time, fdon't get to caught up with instruments, not until way later on.

That's not too bad an idea, on another forum that I visit, people were suggesting having a "Dead member" usergroup, as well as the standard ones (moderator, admin, blue member and gold member) because every so often a member would die, or in far too many cases commit suicide.

On that bright note, I bid you adieu

Will hopefully be going, sounds awesome!

studies have shown that people who record from hardware are 130% less likely to be atacked by a swarm of wasps than people who use emulators and vsts

If only this was true, I might have to stop using famitracker

There's always new chip artists, there always will be, there will also always be people who loose interest.

it's fine, don't change it, it just makes shit for confusing in the long run.

Really want to get one of thoses Skull Tracker tees, but I don't know the measurements. Would you mind posting them, or a link to them, if I've just completely missed them

That's 128 mbit not byte. So 128/8=16 mbyte. So mother 3 is a no go. Disappointing but as expected.

Pokemon is 16. I found a complete list of 32mb games by googling. Really the only ones to write home about are Mother 3 and Kingdom Hearts.

Still like my other idea though...

Would you mind posting a link, I'm in a hurry, so I only had a quick look, but I couldn't find it

Adding monotron to my list, he does some pretty cool shit

Yeah Bamboori, how did you contact them, and ask them this stuff, were you just like "Yo, I know you do pirate games and shit, but could ya' do me a favor, and make a small batch with some different stuff on?"

Apart from not really knowing how to ask them/ address them, and not knowing how I would go about sending them the rom (assuming it'll fit that is) I'm ready to buy a test batch of mother 3 carts.
