i'm out lol

This is my problem with it, none of my passwords have capital letters. I know it's bad practice to use the same password for multiple sites, but it'll be a little inconvenient to have a new one just for this site.

Still joining though

god fucking damnit, I missed it

hey everybody!

very happy to announce a new product line: limited edition, pixel-arted battery covers for the DMG console

each design will be strictly limited to the stated amount (this one is 200pcs only).  our first in this series is done by KeFF.  a very awesome reminder to always keep those batteries fresh wink 

once they're gone, they're gone.  we promise.  not re-released, etc.  done.

check them out, collect them all, and keep chipping!

scroll up for the pic!

So there are going to be other designs? If so, are they going to be the same as the PIL colours? Are they all just going to be black, or be other colours?

It's better to think of one yourself, than have someone give you one, exception to this is if it's an actual nickname or something. I'm not entirely sure why I use the name Alpine, I know it's the default iOS ssh password thing, but that isn't why I picked it, then again, I have no love for mountains. I'd say pick something that means something to you, or just something that sounds cool, and isn't to cliche

ok, long progress, tried to get that rugged down fallout boy look

E-Bay add / album cover styler

Why do you have your gameboy resting on top of a lemon on your chopping board? Please tell me that I'm not the only one who found that hella odd.

Any examples of your music? As a fellow famitracker using teen, I'd like to see what you've come up with yo.

FamiTracker  song in specific: https://soundcloud.com/dade_robison-tilt/14-dades-theme
SoundCloud in general: https://soundcloud.com/dade_robison-tilt


Also, if I wanted to share my music here, should I upload it somewhere else (i.e. Soundcloud/bandcamp etc.), and link it, or can I upload it here when starting a thread (like at the FamiTracker forum).

Followed. I'm going to check your tracks out when I get back from school. You can upload tracks here without starting threads, just go to the music section and click "submit new music" You can make a thread requesting CC on a song that you've uploaded though.

Hey guys, I guess I'll introduce myself as well. I've been making chiptunes since I was around 11, when I found FamiTracker while searching for god knows what. In the past 3 years I've worked with FamiTracker, LSDJ (lol no songs here wtf), and Ableton Live 9 (I'd include Audaciity, but I don't consider it a music making program. XD). I own a GBC/GBA but lack the funds to get a usb smart card because I'm 14 and a jobless teen. Yaaay no money! So.. yeah. e.e All I ever do when I'm not at school is play minecraft and make music. It's pretty much my only hobbie (loserftw). Thanks for listening to my annoying intro whatever, and I'll be seeing you around.

mr. primate... I'm really not feeling this threads you've been doing lately. They feel very alienating and melodramatic to me.

That is all.

I understand where you're coming from, but I don't agree, especially this thread. There are a lot of artists out there who have disappeared, and people really like their work, It's the same feeling that people go through when their favorite band splits up. Also, on forums, and online communities, not just relatively small ones, there's going to be members who know each other, get along well, or just think that another user is cool. When people disappear, or get perma banned or whatever, people are obviously bothered. There are artists from here, and from other sites, that seem to have just vanished off of the face of the internet, and if you really liked their stuff, it's a real shame.
Going to use thretris as an example here, he was my introduction to chiptune, I downloaded a bunch of the albums on his site and loved them, then joined 8bc. Now, thretris would disappear for months at a time, without making any blog posts or anything, but recently, he hadn't been online in more than a year or whatever, and I was dead surprised (I was delighted actually) to see that he was back, and painting gameboys again. But back to the albums, 2 of them were compilations, both of them I really liked, when I found a bunch of the artists that I listened to on those compilations on 8bc, I was amazed.
Now, fast forward to about October last year. After 8bc went down, I kinda stopped listening to chip, but for some reason I started messing around with famitracker. Anyway, I looked up a bunch of the artists that I liked from the compilations (tacticalbread, wayne1991, pixy junket and sseraac to name a few) and found out that they'd either been inactive for years, had quit making music, or just vanished. I was pretty saddened, people, although I'd never met them, had created music that I loved to listen to, and I hated the fact that they wouldn't make any more. When tacticalbread turned up on ucollective under the name lembas, I was amazed, and happy that although he was no longer making music, he was still alive, and still remembered chip.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that you get attached to people who make music that you like, or do things that you think are cool, and you get upset or whatever when they stop, and you have no idea why.

Tl;dr - rip in peace all of you who stopped making music for whatever reason.

I still advocate that 'chip music' is music played back from an audio chip and 'chipchoon' is a bunch of goofy fools who like underproduced techno.

I was referring to http://facepunch.com/ a forum that I frequent that has a rating system.

Watashi Kininarimas(u)? That's probably meant to have more spaces. Also Chitanda was fucking annoying.

I too am curious. plz spill beans kitsch. By spill the beans, I mean give a full explanation.

I have 2 copies of the gameboy gallery, although neither of them save highscores, which is a bit of a bummer.
Also have several copies of pokemon silver, if you're interested, I'll send you one with the ability to save.
If there are any games that you'd like to get hold of specially, I could pick them up at my local game market.

PM me if you're interested at all.

now, if I recall correctly, I was told you're only about 13?  that means that--according to the internet and rules of anime--this is the most yandere moment I've had in a while.  *rubs your head*  senpai may not have noticed, you, bit wish, but sensei kuma sure did.  #HUEHUEHUEHUEHUE #prepareyouranus

bit wish is 15 iirc.
Also isn't yandere that one where you want to kill them or kill anyone who tries to take them away from you? Romantic murder or something like that. Isn't Gasai Yuno a yandere?
